T4:8.14 static and unchanging! How could this possibly be said of one whose  name and identity is synonymous with creation? You like to think that
D:6.20 systems you believe in, it is a system too, an internal idea given a  name, externalized, and blamed for all that you do not understand,
D:Day1.11 think that, as long as the power is called forth, it matters not the  name by which it is called. You may think that it all comes from the

C:13.1 sisters are not their bodies, any more than you are yours. This is a  natural extension of observing your body in action, because as your
C:18.10 was not only unbelievable but also inconceivable to you in your  natural state. Experience was required in order to alter your belief
C:20.30 expressions of love that creation continues and miracles become  natural occurrences.
C:20.31 This cooperation is  natural when fear has been rejected. You have long embraced fear and
C:21.7 You have, in the past, accepted these different interpretations as  natural. You see that there are two ways of viewing a situation, even
C:27.11 in relationship. Relationship is unity, and relationship is your  natural state. It is who you are.
C:28.11 Witnesses are for the mind and fall short of devotion, which is the  natural response of those who know and worry not of what to do. This

T1:2.17 relationally. It speaks to you and you to it. It binds you to the  natural world and to the present but also to the higher world and the
T1:3.9 cure is a miracle and not the result of scientific discovery or the  natural course an illness was bound to take? What miracle could be

T1:8.16 It is one more demonstration of the union that returns you to your  natural state. It is one more demonstration of cause and effect being
T2:4.18 of time dissolves, the state of miracle-readiness becomes your  natural state.
T2:6.10 this change in thinking will release your heart, returning it to its  natural realm. Thus does mind and heart join in unity in the present,
T3:18.3 was part of the original choice for the physical experience, it is a  natural choice to serve our new purpose of the miracle that will

T4:2.20 Your brothers and sisters are as holy as your Self. Holiness is the  natural harmony of all that was created as it was created.
T4:2.22 Observation of what is, is a  natural effect of the cause of a heart and mind joined in unity. This
T4:3.6 For every being there is a  natural state of being that is joyful, effortless, and full of love.
T4:3.6 is also an unnatural state of being. Both states of being—the  natural and the unnatural—exist in relationship. While relationship
T4:3.6 is also what has kept you seemingly forever unable to return to your  natural state of being. The fear that was birthed along with the
T4:3.7 judged God from within the nature of fear, believing it to be your  natural state.
T4:3.8 As the  natural state of love is returned to you, judgment falls away because
T4:3.9 The vision that will arise in you now is not new. It is your  natural vision, the vision of love. What is new is the elevation of
T4:3.9 of the personal self that will be caused by the return of your  natural state of love. This is where observation comes in.
T4:3.11 Vision is the  natural means of knowing of all who were created in love. Observation
T4:3.11 means of knowing of all who were created in love. Observation is the  natural means of sharing what is known in physical form.
T4:3.12 The physical form is not the  natural or original form of the created. Vision is the means by which
T4:3.13 one of change. That the nature, even of form, once returned to its  natural state of love, is one of unity and everlasting life.

T4:4.7 This idea of inheritance is a  natural idea arising from the nature of creation itself. It is an

T4:4.15 choice, to leave human form. To abide in unity is to abide in your  natural state, a state of life-everlasting. To abide in a state of
T4:6.3 is the binding realization that will return all, as one body, to the  natural state of Christ-consciousness.
T4:6.4 observant. A shared vision of unity and a return of all to the state  natural to all is what I ask you to imagine, envision and desire.
T4:6.5 no one’s vision. Your brothers and sisters who do not choose their  natural state still are who they are and holy as yourself. Your

T4:7.5 What we are speaking of is abiding in your natural state. Your  natural state is one free of fear and judgment. This is all that
T4:7.5 and judgment. This is all that makes up the difference between your  natural state and your unnatural state. As your natural state returns
T4:7.5 between your natural state and your unnatural state. As your  natural state returns to you through a heart and mind joined in
T4:7.5 mind joined in unity, your body too will exist or abide within this  natural state. It cannot help to, as it, just like your heart, exists
T4:8.5 and changed, ebbed and flowed, materialized and dematerialized in  natural cycles of the creation process that once begun was unending

D:6.10 is beginning to see much as it truly is, scientists still look for  natural laws that govern what is in an “if this, then that” world.
D:6.11 a doomsday attitude, but an attitude that accepts that scientific or  natural law and the law of spirit are not the same.
D:6.12 that the laws of spirit and the laws of man coexist. Yes, there are  natural laws, but these “natural” laws are not the sets of facts you

D:8.2 easily to you, something you might have said or been told you have a  natural talent or ability to do. These things some of you have
D:8.2 some of you have practiced or studied to take advantage of your  natural ability and in doing so may have found a continued ability to
D:8.2 been discouraged by not being able to be the “best” despite your  natural talent or ability, and have given up “working hard” to be the

D:8.4 When you have realized that you are “more” than your body, your  natural talent or ability has been one of the primary factors leading

D:10.1 wider circle of unity is timeless. What comes to you in the form of  natural abilities or talents, as ideas, as imagination, as
D:13.5 capable of coming to know in wholeness, a way that is actually  natural to you, it will seem so foreign at times that you will feel
D:Day3.11 all, but only for a few, you think of it much like the “given” of  natural gifts or talents, the “givens” of fresh and inspired ideas.
D:Day3.44 Abundance is the  natural state of unity and thus your natural state, just as certainty
D:Day3.44 Abundance is the natural state of unity and thus your  natural state, just as certainty rather than uncertainty is your

D:Day4.6 The divine design of learning was a given and a  natural part of you, much like breathing. You have no choice about
D:Day4.8 this is the way learning was designed to be. Learning was given as a  natural means of access to all that was available to you, but not
D:Day4.13 You have been told that in unity a “place” exists that is your  natural state, a state free from want, a state free from suffering, a

D:Day4.30 learning, does nothing but attempt to learn or teach. These are the  natural responses of its training. Thus, a major key to your
D:Day4.31 excellence. Why? Because a film of the unnatural is placed over the  natural.
D:Day4.32 Access simply exists within your  natural state, much like breathing is simply a fact of the natural

D:Day4.38 Love of self and love of your brothers and sisters, love of the  natural world, of the world of form that is, love of the idea of the

C:1.12 is healed, to create like your Creator. This yearning exists  naturally within you and cannot be diminished or satiated.
C:11.17 when you know it you need not give it, for it will extend from you  naturally in miracles called love. Love is all that will fill your
C:18.20 the thought or language of your heart with that which you more  naturally perceive as thought, the words and images that “go through”
C:19.1 well as a spirit self desiring the experience of separation, would  naturally lead to a situation where the whole range of experiences

D:1.19 As you begin this Dialogue, questions  naturally arise. You might think that for the receiver, or
D:2.3 The patterns of the new will begin to arise  naturally when you deny the patterns of the old. As you have been
D:6.11 living in an “if this, then that” world, then the same laws will  naturally not apply. You developed an “if this, then that” world
D:8.7 While discovery of the new will  naturally include much that goes beyond what you now think of as your

D:Day4.60 however. But one is needed to begin this movement. Followers will  naturally succeed the first although this will occur with no fanfare
D:Day13.8 is not only possible but inevitable. True relationship exists  naturally in the state of harmony that is the spacious Self. This is
D:Day14.8 The invisible or spacious Self is the Self through which pass-through  naturally occurs because there are no blocks or boundaries, no
D:Day15.9 observers. Being neutral observers allowed cause and effect to occur  naturally rather than having your judgment alter natural cause and
D:Day19.16 As those given specific functions fulfill those functions, they move  naturally to the way of Mary.
D:Day26.1 are the source and the power of coming to know and making known. It  naturally follows, then, that you are capable of self-guidance.

C:12.16 largely not within your understanding, only exemplifies the  nature of the error in need of correction. While words, as symbols,
C:12.19 would not change who that person was, or who his father was, or the  nature of the family he was born into. All that would change would be

C:18.3 falling out of orbit would cause dire consequences of a universal  nature. It is simply less obvious that you are part of what has

C:23.2 knowing. The relationship becomes the known. While it is your  nature to seek for more, it is also the nature of life to exist in
C:23.2 the known. While it is your nature to seek for more, it is also the  nature of life to exist in relationship and to become known through
C:23.7 with the other person. This should tell you something about the  nature of love.
C:25.14 of fate, or an excuse to challenge the mighty forces of humanity or  nature, will eventually lose the game they play. True invulnerability
C:27.1 Father, knowing that such oneness is not compatible with the human  nature you ascribe to yourself. In this one error do all errors lie.
C:29.15 and to provide. To have needs met and to meet needs. This circular  nature of the universe leaves no one unattended. Yet you realize this
C:29.17 or holy relationship, rather than special relationship. This is the  nature of existence, as unity is the nature of existence and cannot
C:29.17 relationship. This is the nature of existence, as unity is the  nature of existence and cannot be changed and has not changed,
C:29.17 although you believe it not. It is a joyful relationship, as the  nature of relationship is joy. Once you have given up your belief in
C:29.25 look at them thus? And can you not come to understand the reciprocal  nature of giftedness? That what God has given only needs to be
C:30.4 time that can be kept. The only thing real about time is its eternal  nature.
C:30.9 words promised and words given in truth. For no love is finite in  nature. Love has no beginning and no end. Love is a demonstration and
C:30.11 be aware of gain without loss while you believe in what is finite in  nature. The cycle of giving and receiving is thus never complete, and
C:30.11 loss, but they are. All thinking that is of a “if this, then that”  nature is thinking in terms of gain and loss. This is why we have
C:30.11 viewed from a stance of “if this, then that.” It rules the  nature of your existence because you have made it ruler by abandoning
C:31.9 You need but look at creation’s projection to understand the  nature of perfection and your own Self as Creator and Created. Being
C:31.36 Thus, as you move from acquaintances to relationships of a deeper  nature, you quickly determine the nature of those relationships and
C:31.36 to relationships of a deeper nature, you quickly determine the  nature of those relationships and have an investment in them staying
T1:2.7 You thus applied your thoughts to learning subjects of a specific  nature. Through this focus you believed you accomplished much. You
T1:2.10 The thoughts of your ego-mind were ruled by the  nature of the body. To exist as creatures whose only thoughts are of
T1:2.19 inherent in the experience, the call for a response, and the  nature of all gifts as being given to all.
T1:2.22 To acknowledge the relationship and the  nature of the gift is to realize unity. To realize the call for a
T1:3.8 to get you to change your mind about who you are and thus about the  nature of your thoughts.
T1:4.6 is to acknowledge relationship, the call for a response, and the  nature of all gifts as being given to all. This is thus a call to
T1:8.3 realization of this change of enormous proportions. The very  nature of change is one of slow realization. Change occurs all around
T1:8.4 the past two thousand years without your comprehension of it. The  nature of life changed with the resurrection. I am the resurrection
T2:1.1 it will become your identity. We will begin by discussing the  nature of treasure.
T2:2.3 That rising and setting with the sun is in their blood, in the very  nature of who they are. That being one with the land is essential to
T2:2.7 before following a calling, who look for reasons of a practical  nature, who would seek guarantees of the rightness and outcome of
T2:2.7 and to imagine the existence of that which will reveal its true  nature and its joy.
T2:4.10 step in our work with regard to calling is recognizing the dualistic  nature of your thoughts and feelings. A second step is willingness to
T2:4.18 speed, a speed that cannot be measured because of its simultaneous  nature. As was said within A Course of Love, time is but a
T2:5.1 comes as a light shone into the darkness and is revelatory in  nature. Other calls will come as announcements, signs, or even as
T2:5.2 Again let me stress the present-moment  nature of being called. A call is, at its most basic level, a means
T2:6.7 known fact, an object with an identity, but also part of the ongoing  nature of creation. Could this be true of a chair and not be true of
T2:7.21 as one becomes simply an aspect of your identity and accepted as the  nature of who you are in truth.
T2:8.2 go. All that will complement who you are must be received. Thus the  nature of many relationships may be required to change. Remember now
T2:8.6 of who you are and to come to an acceptance of the unchangeable  nature of this truth. This is akin to being done with seeking. This
T2:9.12 that no matter how good or right or meaningful, loses its creative  nature by remaining static.
T2:10.6 to be distinguishable from wants by a discussion of their shared  nature, so too now must knowing be distinguished from what you
T3:4.7 ego-self with another. The training of this Course, while gentle in  nature, has been great, as great as that of any military training, as
T3:10.6 past you have struggled with only because you did not realize the  nature of the situation as a lesson or recognize that all lessons are
T3:13.7 old idea is consistent with all beliefs of an “if this then that”  nature. You might start practicing this idea by repeating these words
T3:14.12 is not of you but of God. You might think of this in terms of  nature and look upon nature’s ability to correct itself. You are a
T3:14.12 and look upon nature’s ability to correct itself. You are a part of  nature. Your body can correct or heal itself, and so can your mind
T3:15.1 the births of new family members form new configurations in a life.  Nature begins anew each spring.
T3:15.16 can, with the help of the new thought system, change the very  nature of the self described by the words human being. This calls for
T3:16.3 much advancement to the forms you occupy without changing their  nature in the slightest measure. All the effort of the ego has not
T3:17.2 go in determining, through its processes, what this says about the  nature of humankind but it is closer every day to understanding the
T3:17.3 beginnings and endings to the finite experience of time. It is the  nature of what is finite to begin and end. Birth and death are all
T3:19.14 being moved to believe that they mean anything at all about the  nature of who you are. This is why no more time can be wasted and why
T3:20.10 new thought system is not tied to beliefs of an “if this, then that”  nature. Look at the examples all around you. People who live what you
T3:21.18 This will cause your existence to seem to have more of a dualistic  nature for a short time while you carry observance forward into
T3:22.10 tired of the way things were, uninterested in matters of a personal  nature. This very readiness is what I now call your attention to as I
T4:1.7 allows no room for choice. In their rebellion against the mandatory  nature of their chosenness or opportunity, they might easily choose
T4:1.7 or opportunity, they might easily choose not to learn. The  nature of life, however, is one of learning, and if they do not learn
T4:1.19 what they came to know through similarly indirect means. This is the  nature of learning and of sharing in relationship. Means and end are
T4:1.20 continued to occur even unto this time. You have learned much of the  nature of the truth by seeing what you have perceived as the contrast
T4:2.7 That those who came before did not become aware of their true  nature does not mean that it did not exist; that there are others
T4:2.7 among you in this time who will not become aware of their true  nature does not mean that it does not exist within them. You are no
T4:2.12 realizing that the elevated “place” they briefly hold is of a finite  nature, that others will soon do the same, and that those who follow
T4:2.28 I could see my brothers and sisters “in Christ” or in their true  nature. I saw them in union and relationship, where they saw
T4:3.3 self is still in need of being elevated—elevated to its original  nature—by its original nature or intent. The devotion of the
T4:3.3 being elevated—elevated to its original nature—by its original  nature or intent. The devotion of the observant will return you to
T4:3.4 Original intent has everything to do with the  nature of things for original intent is synonymous with cause. The
T4:3.4 in observable form. This original intent or cause formed the true  nature of the personal self capable of being observed in
T4:3.4 intent, while it did not change the original cause, formed a false  nature for the personal self. This displacement of the original
T4:3.5 and to express who you are is the result of the displacement of the  nature of love with the nature of fear. What we now are about is
T4:3.5 are is the result of the displacement of the nature of love with the  nature of fear. What we now are about is reversing this displacement
T4:3.5 about is reversing this displacement and returning you to your true  nature.
T4:3.6 birthed along with the erroneously inherited idea that it was your  nature to be separate and alone and thus fearful, made relationships
T4:3.7 fear’s veracity. While you chose to believe and live in a world the  nature of which was fear, you could not know God. You could not know
T4:3.7 God. You could not know God because you judged God from within the  nature of fear, believing it to be your natural state.
T4:3.10 Vision will allow you to see the  nature of the world and all that exists within it truly. Observation
T4:3.10 you to elevate the personal self to its rightful place within the  nature of a world of love.
T4:3.12 form of the created. Vision is the means by which the original  nature of the created can once again be known. Observation is the
T4:3.12 once again be known. Observation is the means by which the original  nature of the created can newly be seen in physical form. Once the
T4:3.12 of the created can newly be seen in physical form. Once the original  nature of the created becomes observable in physical form, physical
T4:3.12 form, physical form will surpass what it once was and become the new  nature of the created. There is no reason why the original nature of
T4:3.12 the new nature of the created. There is no reason why the original  nature of your being cannot become a being the nature of which is
T4:3.12 why the original nature of your being cannot become a being the  nature of which is form if you so choose it to be. There is a reason
T4:3.12 form if you so choose it to be. There is a reason why the original  nature of your being cannot exist in a form unnatural to love. A form
T4:3.12 of your being cannot exist in a form unnatural to love. A form whose  nature is fear cannot house the creation of love.
T4:3.13 alone; not realizing that what lives does not have to die. That the  nature of form can change. That the nature of matter is one of
T4:3.13 does not have to die. That the nature of form can change. That the  nature of matter is one of change. That the nature, even of form,
T4:3.13 can change. That the nature of matter is one of change. That the  nature, even of form, once returned to its natural state of love, is
T4:4.2 of birth as creation and death as rest. You do not realize that your  nature, and the nature of your life, like that of all around you, is
T4:4.2 and death as rest. You do not realize that your nature, and the  nature of your life, like that of all around you, is governed by
T4:4.7 This idea of inheritance is a natural idea arising from the  nature of creation itself. It is an idea of continuity that is an
T4:4.10 has continuously been prolonged without a substantial change in the  nature of life. To think of living on and on as you have lived your
T4:4.18 a representation of Christ-consciousness, it will take on the  nature of Christ-consciousness, of which my life was the example
T4:5.11 ways that the body’s eyes were unable to see, the glory of your true  nature. You are given the chance, just as you are being given the
T4:5.11 just as you are being given the chance now, to choose your true  nature with your free will.
T4:6.7 imagine and desire, in love, without changing the world and the  nature of the human being any more than have those who have come
T4:7.5 of death, needs to be removed from you despite the radical sounding  nature of life-everlasting. You cannot sustain Christ-consciousness
T4:7.5 while judgment remains in you. Why? Because it is not in the  nature of Christ, it is not in the nature of the Christ-Self to know
T4:7.5 Why? Because it is not in the nature of Christ, it is not in the  nature of the Christ-Self to know fear or judgment. What we are
T4:7.7 The conditions are perfect for optimal learning. This is the  nature of the universe. These conditions are perfect not only for
T4:8.5 Creation in form had a starting point. This is the  nature of everything that lives in form. It has a starting point from
T4:8.6 being of God, continued to express love through expression of its  nature, which was of God. What happened in the case of human beings,
T4:8.6 in the case of human beings, was a disconnect from your own true  nature, which in turn caused a disconnect in your ability to express
T4:8.7 The expression of your true  nature should never have been difficult, joyless, or fearful; but you
T4:8.8 from himself? What God could not disconnect from was the true  nature of the being of God, which is love. What God could not
T4:8.8 God, which is love. What God could not disconnect from was the true  nature of creation, which is love. What God, in effect had to do,
T4:8.8 effect had to do, what you in effect had to do in order to live in a  nature inconsistent with that from which God could not disconnect,
T4:8.8 was your will—or in other words, your mind. Just as it is your  nature to breathe oxygen, and not breathing oxygen is thus
T4:8.8 oxygen, and not breathing oxygen is thus inconsistent with your  nature, fearfulness is inconsistent with God. Judgment is
T4:8.9 the Earth to be flat—God saw and knew to be consistent with the  nature of man, even while the fear and struggle that this impatience
T4:8.11 as, as a parent, you come to see that you cannot fight a child’s  nature, no matter how different it might be from your own—just as
T4:8.12 freedom of creation. Your rebellion against the constraints of your  nature in form thus became part of the pattern of creation because it
T4:8.16 done with learning, which is a true desire consistent with your true  nature and your purpose here. To learn everything there is to know
T4:9.3 steps to success. You go out in search of experiences of a mystical  nature. You have tried drugs or hypnosis, meditation or work with
T4:12.8 The simple and complete explanation of the non-intermediary  nature of this dialogue is that it exists in unity. It is given and
T4:12.8 for the separate state. All conditions that were intermediary in  nature during the time of learning, are, during the time of sharing,
T4:12.16 was the effect of the cause of learned wisdom. It became part of the  nature of the human experience by becoming so consistent within you
T4:12.16 the passing down of the human experience, to be integral to your  nature. Have you not always been told and seen examples of man
T4:12.31 form of these dialogues. Sharing in unity is automatic. It is the  nature of Christ-consciousness. Once you have adapted to this nature
T4:12.31 is the nature of Christ-consciousness. Once you have adapted to this  nature you will realize that what is communicated through our
D:1.16 and acting from that truth. Once the truth has been learned, the  nature of untruth remains only as an acceptance of insanity. What I
D:2.6 that you have now completed, learning that has revealed the true  nature of who you are, your inability to realize your completion and
D:2.16 you have attempted to externalize can help you to understand the  nature of patterns.
D:2.19 manage the world without. These systems were attempts to learn the  nature of who you are through external means—the means of learning
D:2.19 of who you are through external means—the means of learning the  nature of the world around you. Thus, in the example of the justice
D:2.19 system, you looked at the world and people around you and found the  nature of both to be hostile. From this faulty conclusion you
D:3.8 like to talk of in a new way. These are ideas that address your true  nature as a being existing in union, and this is why we call them
D:3.12 shared consciousness. Thus giving and receiving as one is now the  nature of the elevated Self of form, and what we work toward through
D:3.14 not occurring. Giving and receiving as one thus simply describes the  nature of the new, the nature of shared consciousness.
D:3.14 receiving as one thus simply describes the nature of the new, the  nature of shared consciousness.
D:3.20 As the system of  nature supports the life of many different trees, the trees are all
D:4.10 Let’s look at each of these terms separately so that we see the  nature of existence in the same way and speak the same language while
D:5.1 acted upon it, distortions that created major departures from the  nature of creation.
D:6.26 Its existence is given as it was always given. But now the very  nature of its existence has changed. I say changed here because you
D:7.8 still exist in a particular time and place, but this is simply the  nature of one aspect of what you are. The nature of form is that it
D:7.8 but this is simply the nature of one aspect of what you are. The  nature of form is that it exists as matter, it occupies space and is
D:7.10 could love spirit or mind, mind or body—because of the dualistic  nature associated with them—now can love all of your Self, all of
D:8.8 not new information. Much of this was taught in “A Treatise on the  Nature of Unity and Its Recognition”. Between the Course and the
D:9.9 The same is true of the beliefs set forth in “A Treatise on the  Nature of Unity and Its Recognition”. What was taught in order to aid
D:9.11 of your conscious awareness. We do this by discussing now the  nature of ideas as opposed to the nature of thoughts.
D:9.11 We do this by discussing now the nature of ideas as opposed to the  nature of thoughts.
D:9.12 They are given and received. They are surprising and pleasing in  nature. You may think that they are the result of learning, of
D:11.13 and sisters that I know who they are, will tell you something of the  nature of who you are if you but let this idea dwell within you and
D:12.14 of another. Or they may be profound insights into your Self or the  nature of the world.
D:Day3.7 make you feel more peaceful, give you comfort of a non-physical  nature. These ideas, whether you realize it or not, are all
D:Day12.6 When an obstacle of form, be it human or material in  nature, seems to present itself, all you must do is remind yourself
D:Day13.6 of love, the lovely complexity of form, the awesome majesty of  nature, all are visible within the One Self because of the
D:Day16.5 taking on form in the actions of others, in instances where acts of  nature or accidents seem to thwart plans, or in “situations” or
D:Day16.6 —was not of the physical world—it returns to its non-physical  nature within the spacious Self. Thus it was not escaped but
D:Day24.3 released. The choice is and is not yours. This power is a force of  nature that exists, not separately from you, but not separately from
D:Day24.3 nature that exists, not separately from you, but not separately from  nature either. It is triggered in any number of ways, only one of
D:Day24.3 meant that the Course is both a trigger of choice and a trigger of  nature. It was meant to convey the action of a catalyst. Now it is up
D:Day24.3 of a catalyst. Now it is up to you whether you allow your true  nature to be revealed.
D:Day24.4 To struggle against your  nature is what you have spent a lifetime doing. Stop. If you allow
D:Day24.4 doing. Stop. If you allow your potential to be released, your true  nature in all its wholeness will be revealed.
D:Day24.6 spirit within that cocoon, is to attempt the impossible. It is the  nature of spirit to become. Its wings poke and prod from within as
D:Day27.8 become more than a concept. As was spoken of in “A Treatise on the  Nature of Unity and Its Recognition”, it will become a trusted
D:Day27.8 a trusted ability and, through practice, lose its dualistic seeming  nature and become as intrinsic to who you are as is breathing. In
D:Day27.8 who you are as is breathing. In this same way, the dualistic seeming  nature of all of life will be revealed to only seem to be so.
D:Day27.9 the biggest revelations yet. All that is now seen as dualistic in  nature can be experienced as different levels of experience of one
D:Day28.4 include commitments to partnerships of a personal or professional  nature. For some these choices include marriage and starting a
D:Day28.13 of those whose major life dilemmas have been of a monetary or career  nature, where success or failure “in life” is seen as the most
D:Day32.8 short. Man lives and has free will. Animals abide by the laws of  nature. God is still a concept.
D:Day32.15 If the natural world around you has revealed anything to you of the  nature of life and God, it has revealed to you the truth of
D:Day35.18 and creating anew, is different than being affected by the ongoing  nature of creation. Saying that you have been affected by creation,
D:Day37.22 appeal to God. Knowing what you are coming to know about the true  nature of God should thus not leave you feeling bereft of a God you
D:Day39.2 No one can give you this answer, not even me, because this is the  nature of who we are. Individuated beings are who we are in
D:Day39.8 Contemplate the “buffer”  nature of all that is intermediary. An intermediary stands between as
D:Day39.35 Only that which is by  nature without attributes can be one in being in union and
D:Day39.35 the moon? Yet love could become all of these, because love, by its  nature, has no attributes. Love is creation’s genesis, the
D:Day40.4 not make you in my image. I created you in love because it is the  nature of a being of love to extend. Realize that it is only when
D:Day40.4 when love is in relationship with being—that love is given its  nature. Realize that it is only when love is in relationship with
D:Day40.5 Love of itself has no  nature. It does not do anything. It just is, and its isness is what I
D:Day40.5 like the application of being to love, gives relationships their  nature, including your relationship with yourself.
D:Day40.6 at individuation and extension, an attempt consistent with the  nature of your being, failed only because you experienced separation
D:Day40.10 creations do once they are extended into form and time. This is the  nature of creation. Creation is about giving attributes to the
D:Day40.10 that she but tries to bring form to the formless. Why? Because the  nature of a being of love is to extend. The nature of a being of love
D:Day40.10 Why? Because the nature of a being of love is to extend. The  nature of a being of love is to bring form to the formless—to bring
D:Day40.11 Love has no attributes, no form, no conditions, no  nature. It simply is. It was said earlier that being is as Love is.
E.4 You have returned to your true  nature. Perhaps you will remember that within A Course of Love you
A.4 which may come before or after completing the “Treatise on the  Nature of Unity and Its Recognition,” you continue to perceive of
A.18 it is too difficult. It goes against all you have learned and the  nature of the reality in which the mind has functioned. In turning to

C:17.12 the state in which you existed before the original error, then you  never shall.
C:18.19 is a paradox, it is not impossible for the simple reason that you  never left the state of unity that you do not recognize. Your lack of

C:30.11 is speaking of now, in essence, is gain without loss. You will  never be aware of gain without loss while you believe in what is
C:30.11 what is finite in nature. The cycle of giving and receiving is thus  never complete, and the certainty you seek always waiting for
C:31.11 ego. Without dislodging your belief in your ego as yourself you will  never realize your true identity.
C:31.24 What you gain in truth is  never lost or forgotten again, because it returns remembrance to your
C:31.25 Your ego thoughts can  never share the truth with you nor with anyone else. The ego invented
T1:7.1 world because the world is seen as a world in which who you are can  never be accomplished. You have perceived this inability to be who
T1:7.2 there is light. One or the other must exist at a given time, but  never both. Thus the absence of good health is disease; the absence
T2:1.6 life stops and death reigns. It is not a point at which you arrive,  never to depart. Rest, when truly learned, is a state of being in
T2:1.11 thoughts you have had before. Your thoughts of a grand piano will  never create a grand piano. What kind of thoughts, then, would create
T2:1.13 such as that of music lessons or the purchase of a piano, you will  never reach the goals associated with those tangible steps. Thoughts

T2:8.6 special relationships that would take you away from your true Self.  Never again will you be away from home for home is who you are, a

T2:11.15 see yourself as doing battle in countless ways and forms. There will  never actually be a battle going on between Christ and the ego, but
T2:12.11 The ego would hang on to what is already accomplished within you,  never to let it express, through relationship, all that it is. As
T3:1.11 self you presented to others in the past was a chosen self and  never a whole self as evidenced by the variety of selves you saw
T3:3.1 that the personal self that is dear to you is not your ego-self and  never has been.
T3:3.5 and while you have in turn blamed it as much as it blamed you, you  never blamed anything quite as much as you blamed yourself.
T3:5.1 caused by the complete absence of the ego, just as few of you have  never felt some sort of absence. All the lessons you have drawn to
T3:8.2 is within you, then it is your own revelation toward which we work.  Never forget that establishing your identity has been the only aim of
T3:11.10 reality does not exist. Believing in the reality of illusion will  never make it the truth.
T3:11.15 can be useful in a new way to your brothers and sisters as well.  Never forget that what was made for your use can be used in a new way

T3:20.10 know how to live by the truth, but the means are not the end and are  never to be confused as such. Your observance is to remain with cause

C:2.16 who you are. You think you can love without love being who you are.  Nothing stands apart from your being. Nothing stands alone. All your
C:2.16 love being who you are. Nothing stands apart from your being.  Nothing stands alone. All your attempts to keep things separate are
C:3.7 but symbolic, with each symbol’s meaning chosen by you and for you.  Nothing is what it is, but only what it is to you.
C:4.2 False idols must be brought to light and there seen as the  nothing that they are before you can love for love’s sake. What is a
C:4.5 that doubt once occupied? No shadows linger when doubt is gone.  Nothing stands between the child of God and the child’s own Source.
C:4.18 In this you are correct, for love is  nothing like your image of your life and has no resemblance to how
C:4.18 special way to you alone, and you to him or her. Your love life has  nothing to do with your work life, your issues of survival here, your

C:11.17 This is a call that requires you to do  nothing but to remain faithful to it. You do not need to think about
C:12.4 of what to leave outside of yourself. Yet you must understand that  nothing that is not part of God is worthy of joining, nor can join
C:12.7 would strive to keep, and yet deep down you realize that you know  nothing with the certainty you seek.

C:13.5 longing or sadness of any kind. Because it is complete, it will ask  nothing of you, but will seem to offer you a warm welcome, as if you
C:14.11 brought you joy. Within it you were happy and felt as if you needed  nothing more than this. It was a relationship so intense that at its
C:14.13 entirely. For at least one brief moment, this was true love, for  nothing but love can be the cause of joy, nor offer a haven of safety

C:16.15 worked before will somehow miraculously work in the future. You have  nothing but evidence of a life of unhappiness and despair, where
C:16.23 Your birthright is simply the right to be who you are, and there is  nothing in the world that has the power to take this right from you.
C:16.24 bow down to those whom you have given it to, for you are afraid of  nothing more than your own power.

C:20.9 do. Being replaces identity and you say, I am. I am, and there is  nothing outside of me. Nothing outside of the embrace.
C:20.9 and you say, I am. I am, and there is nothing outside of me.  Nothing outside of the embrace.
C:20.13 The time of parables has ended. A new time of no time awaits.  Nothing is like unto anything else. Likeness, like thingness, has
C:20.20 apart from you? Oneness with Christ, dear brother and sister, is  nothing more than this concept realized. And also nothing less.
C:20.20 and sister, is nothing more than this concept realized. And also  nothing less.
C:20.39 All that is received is for the mutual benefit of all and takes  nothing away from anyone. There is no limit to love and so there are
C:20.48 the view from love’s angle. It is the view of the dying who realize  nothing matters but love. This realization is not one of sentiment,
C:21.8 understand that you give meaning to all things, and that there is  nothing and no one external to you who can determine meaning for you.
C:23.27 over learning situations is a reflection of belief that you have  nothing to learn. An attitude of openness is required for unlearning
C:25.3 you feel indifference, knowledge of things about which you know  nothing. But those who have tried to fake love cannot do it. The same
C:25.7 When you feel lack of love, you feel as if the “other” gives you  nothing. Yet it is your lack of ability to receive that causes this

C:30.4 Being in relationship is being present. Being present has  nothing to do with time as you think of it. You think of this
C:30.4 keeping time as well, but as the word keeping illustrates, there is  nothing about time that can be kept. The only thing real about time
C:31.13 you are devoted to the thoughts of a split mind you are devoted to  nothing. This is why so many attempts at understanding fail. Trying
C:31.20 are, and in that remembrance transforms the rest, leaving you with  nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to keep hidden, leaving you with

C:31.20 nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to keep hidden, leaving you with  nothing but the truth of who you are. Thus, what you give through
C:31.26 Your past has  nothing to do with the truth about who you are, except in the degree
C:31.28 Since there is only one truth, finding a variety of answers means  nothing. If you but change what you look for, what you see and what
C:31.29 what you think your brothers and sisters want to see, they can learn  nothing from you. If your truth about who you think you are changes
T1:1.5 in truth is love. All that illusion provided you with was  nothing. Thus your first task as you remember and re-experience is
T1:3.3 The ego-mind sees  nothing for what it is. The ego-mind sees not anything but what it
T1:3.23 surely the working of one miracle would be a fluke anyway. Proof of  nothing and easily discounted and explained away. Surely to believe
T1:4.20 come to you from an interpretation that is uniquely your own is as  nothing compared to the joy that will come to you from a response
T1:4.26 thought, for doubt about your Self is doubt about God. While God is  nothing but the Source of Love, you have, in your doubt, made of God
T1:4.27 or being. I bring up this point to assure you that this confusion is  nothing new, but a confusion so deeply ingrained in you that it has
T1:5.5 of Life, fear of Creation, fear of Self. For there is only all and  nothing.
T1:5.6 of this and as fearful of the all of everything as of the void of  nothing. You feel as if you are headed toward “something” from
T1:5.7 as the illusion of an in-between you have created between all and  nothing. This in-between place is your comfort zone and, although you

T1:5.8 to experience the truth, you must move into a state that is real.  Nothing is as real as everything, and is what some of you will or
T1:5.9 turn within, toward the heart where the real Self abides. There is  nothing else that will free who you are but freedom from the ego’s
T1:9.6 universal truth. You remembered that something does not come from  nothing and that nothing is all that exists without relationship.
T1:9.6 You remembered that something does not come from nothing and that  nothing is all that exists without relationship.
T1:10.7 from you. But as you have been told before, you will be giving up  nothing. It will seem as if it is so for a while perhaps. You will
T2:6.5 as all of your work being done. If there is no work to be done,  nothing for you to do, for what do you need time? Have you ever
T2:7.13 as one if you feel able only to give or as if “others” have  nothing you would receive.
T2:8.3 others. This is giving and receiving as one. What you gain will take  nothing from anyone. What another is able to give you will take
T2:8.3 take nothing from anyone. What another is able to give you will take  nothing from them, and what you are able to give another will take
T2:8.3 nothing from them, and what you are able to give another will take  nothing from you.
T2:9.8 have as the already accomplished. All that you would give will take  nothing away from you.
T2:11.6 All cannot be threatened by  nothing.
T3:1.11 each one as learned as that which an actor might portray. You saw  nothing more amiss in being a professional self in one instance and a
T3:3.2 All of your personal characteristics are  nothing more than a persona that has served the ego faithfully. All
T3:4.2 that you give up anything but illusion, which is the giving up of  nothing.
T3:10.1 talked much of remembering. Now we must talk about forgetting. While  nothing need be given up to enter the House of Truth, or to encounter
T3:13.8 “I am safe and  nothing that I do or do not do will threaten my safety.”
T3:14.1 new thought system will still exist within your mind and heart, as  nothing can now take this memory from you, but to experience the new
T3:14.5 changes will not cause them to be other than who they are. There is  nothing wrong with who you are!
T3:14.6 The changes that come to you will be chosen changes. You will lose  nothing you would keep.
T3:14.9 how little consequence they had in truth. These fearful choices took  nothing from you or from others.
T3:15.5 surely prove to you that the new beginning is but an act and that  nothing has really changed. A student who failed to learn the prior
T3:16.1 are, in truth, unacceptable to God. You are asked to give up  nothing but unwillingness.
T3:16.16 caused them to only seem to be intertwined and all encompassing.  Nothing but the truth is all encompassing. Illusion is made of parts
T3:19.8 behavior that is not of love, is of fear. All that comes of fear is  nothing. What this means is that cause and effect are not influenced
T3:20.15 My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let  nothing call you to return to the ways of old. They do not work! To
T3:20.19 you will encounter. You will encounter truth or illusion and  nothing else for there is nothing else. There is but one call for all
T3:20.19 You will encounter truth or illusion and nothing else for there is  nothing else. There is but one call for all circumstances, the call
T3:21.9 to another. Illusion is symbolic. And what’s more it symbolizes  nothing for it does not symbolize what is!
T3:21.18 identity, but as representing your identity, an identity that has  nothing to do with the thoughts of a separated mind or the
T4:1.26 Those born into the time of Christ will settle for  nothing less than the truth and will soon begin looking earnestly for
T4:2.26 in which observation of what is can occur. The separated state was  nothing more than the disjoining of heart and mind, a state in which
T4:5.13 Some have thought of this as heaven and hell. Others as all or  nothing. Many of you have thought of it as a time of judgment. But I
T4:8.16 You think of a state of knowing as a state of there being  nothing you do not know about something. This is why you study
T4:9.5 truth say the same thing but in different ways. There seems to be  nothing new to be said, nothing to move you beyond this point that
T4:9.5 but in different ways. There seems to be nothing new to be said,  nothing to move you beyond this point that you have reached in your
T4:9.9 the new. Be not afraid, for the glory that has been yours will be as  nothing to the glory that awaits you in the creation of the new. You

D:10.4 way will leave you with no individual, personal accomplishment,  nothing to be proud of, nothing to call your own. You thus must begin
D:10.4 with no individual, personal accomplishment, nothing to be proud of,  nothing to call your own. You thus must begin to realize that the

D:15.7 story without movement. There is no story to tell without movement.  Nothing is happening. So movement might be likened to something
D:17.7 alone in your glory or achievement and you marvel that this takes  nothing from your feeling of accomplishment. You want to share it
D:17.19 To revere is to feel awe, which, it has been stated, is due  nothing and no one but God. To move beyond desire to reverence is to
D:Day1.1 Self. Acceptance of me is acceptance of your inheritance. This is  nothing new to those of you of the Christian faith. To others it will
D:Day3.11 or abundance: the way you have learned. The mind would tell you that  nothing is “given,” and that all must be either learned or earned,
D:Day3.13 of “if this, then that.” The idea of abundance earned. The idea of  nothing being truly free. Not you, and not your gifts. Everything
D:Day3.25 Remember, you have learned that  nothing is “given,” for what use would you have of learning if such
D:Day3.59 all that was taught within this Course, this is a matter of all or  nothing. You cannot accept part of one reality and part of another.
D:Day4.30 is natural. Your thinking, since it is a product of learning, does  nothing but attempt to learn or teach. These are the natural
D:Day4.53 If you move forward only with love, you will have realized there is  nothing unacceptable about who you are except fear.
D:Day4.54 you back. This is what the time of acceptance was meant to show you!  Nothing can hold you back except fear! You do not have to be perfect
D:Day6.14 if only you could be truly “taken away” from it all and experience  nothing but our relationship, focus on nothing but your point of
D:Day6.14 from it all and experience nothing but our relationship, focus on  nothing but your point of access, have a chance to really begin to
D:Day6.26 You know our task is holy and incomparable. You know there is  nothing more important for you to be involved in. All other areas
D:Day7.2 ills that came from the base emotion of fear. Fear is degenerating.  Nothing about fear is life giving. You thus were given life only to
D:Day7.3 with love. Love is life giving and life supporting. There is thus  nothing now degenerating about life.
D:Day9.6 Freedom is  nothing other than freedom of expression. No one can block the
D:Day9.27  Nothing, not even the ego, has been able to keep you from expressing
D:Day11.3 The elevation of the self of form is  nothing but the recognition of the One Self within the Self.
D:Day11.6 Separation, of itself, is  nothing. What is separate and joined in relationship is All because

D:Day12.3 love of the One Self. The One Self loves Its Self. There is  nothing else to love. The One Self is the All.
D:Day15.23 To practice, as to inform, does not mean, however, that you know  nothing. Practice is the merging of the known and the unknown through
D:Day15.23 the continuing realization that what you knew yesterday was as  nothing to what you know today, while at the same time, aiding in the
D:Day16.9 you not feared and expelled them, you would have seen that they were  nothing to fear.
D:Day16.14 either love or fear. This is because love is everything and fear is  nothing.

D:Day24.2 of every smallest particle of existence. Wholeness exists in you.  Nothing can take wholeness from you. It is as natural to you as it is
D:Day25.2 you, there is a part of you that will fight back. If there is  nothing new to record, nothing new to learn, no new divine
D:Day25.2 part of you that will fight back. If there is nothing new to record,  nothing new to learn, no new divine inspiration, a part of your mind

D:Day25.7 mind or the question of “What am I looking for?” You are looking for  nothing. You are tending your garden.
D:Day32.7 Another concept of God is that of Creator. This concept might have  nothing to do with the notion of God wanting to know Himself. This
D:Day34.2 simply does include destruction in much the same way all includes  nothing. Without relationship, all and nothing are the same. In
D:Day34.2 the same way all includes nothing. Without relationship, all and  nothing are the same. In relationship, the difference between all and
D:Day34.2 are the same. In relationship, the difference between all and  nothing is everything. So too is it with creation and destruction.

D:Day36.10 the difference in the world. It is the difference between all and  nothing in relationship to one another. Recall the example used
D:Day36.10 the example used earlier. There is no difference between all and  nothing without relationship. In relationship, the difference is

D:Day40.9 This tension, or process, is not bad. There is  nothing wrong with this individuation process or the creative tension

C:7.12 the burden of what you hang onto becomes more than you can bear.  Now you look for one upon whom you can unload your burdens, hoping

C:7.20 nor will it be until your understanding is greater than it is  now. For you cannot give up the only reality you know without

C:8.15 Think of your body  now as the surface of your existence and look upon it. Stand back
C:8.15 the truth of who you are, no matter how much it appears to be. For  now, let’s consider it the surface aspect of your existence.

C:10.8 to discourage you, but to encourage you not to give up. Your purpose  now is the holiest possible and all of heaven is with you. All that

C:14.14 It is your response to love that concerns us  now, for the return of love is coming and you do not want to make the
C:14.23 the same purpose, but bid it do the job of rewarding you here and  now. It, like heaven, is your proof that you are good and worthy,

C:17.5 as lacking much of what you have judged to be good in the world you  now perceive.

C:18.8 are also part of the projection, and this is where your awareness  now abides, seemingly trapped upon the screen, viewing everything
C:18.9 not imagine what this world would be like any more than you can  now imagine what a united world will be like. You did not understand,

C:21.3 Concepts that cannot be felt with your heart are of no use to you  now, for they are meant for their usefulness rather than for their
C:21.6 The embrace can  now be likened to the starting point of a shared language, a language
C:22.1 We will talk much more of imagining  now, and you may, at first, be resistant to this instruction. To

C:25.9 Devotion leads to harmony through action. This is possible for you  now only if you have integrated the most basic teaching of this
C:25.13 An attitude of invulnerability is necessary  now. It is not arrogance or a means by which to flirt with risk and

C:26.15 explosion. It is as if you have been waiting for someone to whisper:  Now! The whisper has come. The time is now.
C:26.15 for someone to whisper: Now! The whisper has come. The time is  now.
C:26.22 all that is known about you. God’s idea of you is perfect, and until  now your form has been but an imperfect representation of God’s idea.
C:26.27 unity, oneness with God. I ushered in the new way that you are  now longing to adopt. I ushered in a time of being.
C:27.1 We return  now to what your being is. Being is. As love is. You have attached
C:27.11 that you cannot accomplish “on your own” or with the concept you  now hold of yourself. Just as you can look about and see that no two
C:27.21 You are ready  now, and all that will you prevent you from living a life of love is
C:27.21 one remaining source of such unwillingness. Your willingness will  now depend on whether or not you trust. Do you trust these words? Do
C:28.10 to grow. Because you believe it, this is, at first, quite true. But  now it is no longer the time to rely on conviction that comes from
C:28.10 along your way. They serve a limited purpose for a limited time.  Now is the time to step beyond the validation that your teachers can

C:29.19 that unity was a choice prevented you from making this choice before  now. Now I tell you clearly, the choice is yours. Choose once again.
C:29.19 unity was a choice prevented you from making this choice before now.  Now I tell you clearly, the choice is yours. Choose once again.
C:29.26 The past nor the future matter not. All is available in the here and  now where giving and receiving occur.
C:30.8 word present, there is no infinitude, but only a vague concept of  now. This is the key concept that I not only knew but demonstrated.
C:30.11 What the Course is speaking of  now, in essence, is gain without loss. You will never be aware of
C:30.13 The source of love and its location is your own heart. Think  now of the created form, the body. When the heart stops beating, life
C:30.14 over the laws of God. Since perception arises from the mind, we must  now discuss the mind.
C:31.37 our Father and me as you have realized that you are here to learn.  Now, with a clear learning goal in mind, these idealized
C:32.1 looked to those who do not know the difference for your answers.  Now you can see that you need to look to a different source.
T1:1.4 experience memory provides that truth rather than illusion can  now be experienced and learned from. It is in the present-moment
T1:1.5 you believe you learned from illusion will have no meaning to you  now and will allow you to give up any remnants of false learning you
T1:1.6 you to trust in your heart, your reunited mind and heart will  now be called to act in unison. That A Course of Love instructed you
T1:1.6 this Course. The mechanics of the mind can in truth be left behind  now as we concentrate rather on the art of thought.
T1:1.7 for you to hear the wisdom of your heart and begin your return.  Now, in order to complete your return, mind and heart must work as
T1:1.9 in you, making you The Accomplished. As The Accomplished, you  now are able to access universal mind.
T1:1.10 only illusion and called it reality, the mind joined in union will  now, more and more, recognize only truth and experience only the
T1:1.12 Again your willingness is called upon. Be willing  now to apply the art of thought to the experience of truth.
T1:2.2 fear, to struggle, to effort, to control and protection, can all  now be seen as the product of the thoughts of your ego-mind.
T1:2.5 has begun and continues here as well. The difference is that you are  now ready to learn a new means of response to this unlearning and
T1:2.8 at learning have been valiant and are no cause for anxiety. But  now this alternative is being revealed to you, and it does call for a
T1:3.6 faith in what is, is a faith in miracles. Miracles are what you are  now asked to call upon. For calling upon miracles is an act of faith.
T1:3.7 I ask you  now to request a miracle.
T1:3.12 you this is no idle request. Whatever is necessary to convince you  now is what I will provide. Such is the urgency of the time, the
T1:3.14 This does not have to be done right  now if your fear is mightier than your willingness. But hold this
T1:3.14 be provided. Such is the urgency of your return to unity. If not  now, then soon, you will be asked to make this final choice, this
T1:3.26  Now we can address each of these fears, bringing to them the art of
T1:4.4 of your existence as a human being and as a gift of the Creator.  Now that we have more properly identified the miracle, you must see
T1:4.10 Think of all you  now feel responsible for and this lesson will become more clear.
T1:4.26 was said within A Course of Love, all fear is doubt about your self.  Now we must expand upon this thought, for doubt about your Self is
T1:4.27 not been reconciled with your experience here. This is what we will  now seek to do by putting an end to fear and ushering in, with this
T1:5.2 This is a two-fold fear that must be looked at carefully  now and with all the power of the art of thought. One aspect of this
T1:5.9 ego-mind that make the in-between state of the illusion in which you  now exist seem real. I must make a distinction here, between the
T1:5.11 of the ego-mind, as stated many times and in many ways, must  now be brought to completion.
T1:6.7 Memory is valuable to us  now because it relies not on perception. If perception were all that
T1:7.3 We are moving you  now away from all such beliefs to a knowing that precludes the need
T1:7.6 This is why we must speak  now of being human in a new way. We must reconcile the differences
T1:8.1 Will of God. I have told you that you are no different than I was.  Now I call you to be no different than I am.
T1:8.2 though you have known this not. For the resurrection and life are  now one and the same.
T1:8.4 I have come to you  now to reveal the one truth that has existed for the past two
T1:8.7  Now, how could one man’s resurrection be the way or even a way. How
T1:8.8 as the proof required, much as proof has been offered to you  now in the form of miracles. How could one rise from the dead and
T1:8.12 Mary is called upon  now as the myth to end all myths for in this example life alone is
T1:8.14 in form. The ability to resurrect in life. The ability to resurrect  now.
T1:8.16 one in truth. It is one more demonstration of what needs to occur  now, in this time, in order for the truth of the resurrection to be
T1:9.3 However, we are talking  now, in a certain sense, of an elevation of form. While this is
T1:9.5  Now you are asked to carry new life not in the womb but in the united
T1:9.15 would have been to protect and use that which you have most valued.  Now your response will have been changing. You will not see so much
T1:10.1  Now let me address the issue of the peace you have been experiencing
T1:10.1 to be feeling. There is a core of peace at the center of your Self  now and the issues that you choose to deal with will not affect that
T1:10.5 You used your free will to choose the human experience.  Now are you willing to use it to choose the Peace of God instead? Can
T1:10.6 within. You have chosen them for just this reason. But you can  now be an observer and look upon them as your brothers and sisters
T1:10.8 is no other peace. There is no other God. Whether you believe it  now or not, I assure you, within the Peace of God is all the joy of
T1:10.9 profound learning. You will think that you would not be who you are  now without experiences such as this one. You will think that I
T1:10.9 have already had them! I ask you not to give them up. Only to make  now a new choice.
T1:10.13 your inheritance. Yet let the memory of the truth return to you  now and you will see that peace is all you have sought learning to
T1:10.13 peace is all you have sought learning to attain. If you do not pause  now and accept that it is here, you will not know the Peace of God
T1:10.15  Now your final instruction is here. You who have found peace—live
T2:1.4 you may have determined that exploring your internal treasure is  now unnecessary. You may well be feeling a sense of relief in having
T2:1.4 feeling a sense of relief in having learned that who you are right  now is a being of perfection, and you may find in this a somewhat
T2:1.4 judgment behind, you judge your desire to be other than you are  now, including any desires related to those internal treasures you
T2:1.4 become abilities. You think this willingness to accept who you are  now is what this Course has led you to and evidence of your
T2:1.8 often used the idea of place as a teaching aid. But you are ready  now to begin to think without the need for form.
T2:3.4 This was stated early in A Course of Love and is returned to  now for a specific reason. While the truth that it is the Christ in
T2:3.4 been given little attention as you began your learning, it cannot  now be ignored. Now you have realized your learning. You have begun
T2:3.4 attention as you began your learning, it cannot now be ignored.  Now you have realized your learning. You have begun to see the
T2:3.4 of relevance even within the daily life you currently move through.  Now you must fully recognize the distinction between the ego-self
T2:3.4 was the self of learning and experience, and the Christ-Self that is  now the Self of learning and experience. You must take on the mantle
T2:3.5 It is this recognition that you are  now acting and living in the world as your Christ-Self rather than as
T2:4.1 the omega, eternity and infinity. It is not only life as you know it  now, but life in all its aspects. It is life beyond death as well as
T2:4.6 a learned ability for the swimmer and is a learned ability for you  now as you journey back to your real Self. It requires remembrance,
T2:4.7 to your reaction to all that occurs within your life. Let us look  now at your reaction to the idea put forth earlier of having a
T2:4.12 would bring you fulfillment. This is about recognizing who you are  now. This is not a quick fix that calls you to what might have been
T2:4.14  Now you may feel as if this Treatise has led around in a circle,
T2:4.14 you back only to contemplate again the acceptance of where you are  now. However, to accept where you are is not the same as accepting
T2:4.17 one thing is accomplished for another to begin. What is happening  now is happening in unison. As the old goes, the new arrives. There
T2:4.19 call that your heart alone can hear. As I have said, your heart has  now become your eyes and ears. Your heart hears only one call, one
T2:5.2 opportunities. Thus recognition of the different calls that may  now be heard is necessary.
T2:6.2 If time is but a measure of learning, and if your learning is  now at the stage at which it occurs in unison with unlearning, then
T2:6.2 the end of time as you know it is close at hand. If you can begin  now to think without the barriers of time you but place upon your
T2:6.6 than who you are in the present. Unity exists only in the here and  now of the present. There is no will be in unity. There is only what
T2:6.8 rather than of what is already accomplished that needs adjustment  now. As a tree exists fully accomplished within its seed and yet
T2:6.10 does mind and heart join in unity in the present, in the here and  now, so that you exist—even within form—as the only Son of God,
T2:7.5 That you exist in relationship with all is a belief that you must  now incorporate into living. Further, you must remember that
T2:7.6 This source is the ego. Even  now, the ego will take every opportunity that arises to prove to you
T2:7.19 you develop the discipline to express your true Self, as you are  now. This is the only way the Self you are now has to grow and
T2:7.19 true Self, as you are now. This is the only way the Self you are  now has to grow and change. This is the only means the Self you are
T2:7.19 now has to grow and change. This is the only means the Self you are  now has of giving and receiving as one. This is the only means
T2:8.1 your love relationships will provide a rich learning ground for you  now, they must also now be separated from all that would continue to
T2:8.1 will provide a rich learning ground for you now, they must also  now be separated from all that would continue to make them special.
T2:8.2 relationship is your Self. This is the learning ground on which you  now stand. All that prevents you from being who you are within these
T2:8.2 the nature of many relationships may be required to change. Remember  now that there is no loss but only gain, or you will feel threatened
T2:8.3 you are is but a mockery of relationship. The calls that come to you  now as signs and demands will not only aid you in your realization of
T2:8.6 onto the paths of seeking. The truth of yourself that you reveal  now will not become a new truth as you take a new path. Your path now
T2:8.6 now will not become a new truth as you take a new path. Your path  now is sure and its final acceptance necessary. You are the prodigal
T2:9.1 I ask you  now to remember a time when you felt from another the desire to help
T2:9.2 be inconceivable to you in the state of unity before you left it.  Now, they are just tools, as are many other means of practice that
T2:9.3 We are  now beginning to speak of the second aspect of treasure that was
T2:10.2 resign as your own teacher. This belief in the self as teacher has  now been replaced with the belief that you only learn in unity.
T2:10.3 such as “my brain just isn’t working right today.” I want you  now to keep this example in mind as we explore learning in unity.
T2:10.6 from wants by a discussion of their shared nature, so too  now must knowing be distinguished from what you consider intelligence.
T2:11.1 and all you hold responsible for this truth. This forgiveness has  now extended in two distinct ways. First in forgiving your Creator
T2:11.1 a world that has taught you to want to be other than who you are.  Now our aim is to show you how to integrate the belief that you are a
T2:11.2 you no longer want to be other than who you are, and even though you  now have a much clearer understanding of who you are, you will find
T2:11.2 be forced to live by its laws. This will cause struggle and, as you  now know that struggle of any kind alerts you to the presence of ego,
T2:11.4 ego. As the ego has been the known identity of your existence until  now, it will, in a sense, be forever with you, much as the body that
T2:11.4 by you the power to do battle with the truth, or with God. Remember  now and always that you and God are one and that what you invite to
T2:11.9 of means and end being the same. Your devotion to this learning must  now be complete, your willingness total, your way of learning that of
T2:11.13 So let us  now, for the sake of continued learning, speak of separation in a new
T2:11.16 new way and the lack of value from this type of effort can surely  now be seen.
T2:12.13 this way of living be the expression of who you are and all that you  now remember. Let this remembrance grow and flourish as the garden
T2:12.14 Recognize  now that unity is within you and without you, in all you are and all
T2:13.1 to those put forth previously, a personal call from me to you. By  now you have seen that your fears of losing yourself to God were
T2:13.1 seen that your fears of losing yourself to God were unfounded. By  now you have seen that yourself does not need to stand separate and
T2:13.2  Now that you have been made ready, I am ready to return you to your
T2:13.2 you have been made ready, I am ready to return you to your Self.  Now that you have been made ready, it is time for us to have a
T2:13.2 discounted the personal self I experience in relationship with you.  Now, in unity, we are ready to be personal again.
T2:13.3 who laughs and loves and cries and shares with friends in a world  now different than the one you once perceived. I know of this world
T2:13.5 It is an attitude of praise and thankfulness that flows between us  now. The light of heaven shines not down upon you but is given and
T2:13.6 This is not such a frightening task. Let fear go and walk with me  now. Our journey together is just beginning as we return to the
T3:1.1 to others represented an ego-self who you believed yourself to be.  Now the ego has been separated from the personal self so that you may
T3:1.7 unity and you are left, perhaps, feeling unsure of the part you are  now to play. There is not one of you who has not begun to experience
T3:1.8 others and that this is the only way in which the personal self will  now continue to exist. This statement implies and acknowledges your
T3:1.9 awareness of your true Self from your mind. Your true Self is  now ready to come out of the mist of illusion in which it was hidden
T3:1.10 To say that the personal self will  now exist only as the self you present to others is to say that the
T3:1.10 the self you present to others is to say that the personal self will  now cease to be seen as your reality.
T3:1.13 the personal self from the ego-self. There is a danger even  now in focusing upon the self of the body, as this self has been so
T3:1.13 ego’s thought system remain to be undone. This is atonement. We work  now to correct the errors of the past in the present, the only place
T3:2.4 is part of the foundation that has been built around this system.  Now, along with the beliefs put forth in “A Treatise on Unity,” you
T3:2.6 We leave all of this behind  now as we advance toward truth through returning to original purpose.
T3:2.10 Thus you stand at the beginning, with a Self  now devoid of the meaninglessness you but attempted to assign to it.
T3:2.11 the Self you believe you abandoned there. Be truthful with yourself  now and realize that what I speak of here is known to you. Realize
T3:2.11 We have worked, thus far, to change your idea of a vengeful God.  Now we work to change your idea of a vengeful self. For what else
T3:3.6 This is the vengeful self we eliminate  now. You have, in truth, replaced judgment with forgiveness, but you
T3:3.9 ideal community, away from all that has brought you to where you  now are, you might be able to put the beliefs of this Course into
T3:3.9 self you believe this Course calls you to be. Most of you have  now believed you are “good enough” for days or hours or moments, but
T3:3.10 worthy and unworthy, a list as endless as it was worthless. Realize  now the worthlessness of this idea and let it go.
T3:4.8 this or not matters not. This A Course of Love has accomplished.  Now the choice is before you to do one of two things: to proceed
T3:5.1 While you have just been told that you  now exist in a state of emptiness, this is not a state to be feared.
T3:5.6 in which I lived it, and has an appropriateness that continues even  now. I walked the earth in order to reveal a God of love. The
T3:5.7 The death of an only son, then as  now, would be seen as a sacrifice of enormous proportions; the
T3:6.6 release of bitterness and made you ready for this choice. Choose  now to leave your desire for reward, as well as all of your reasons
T3:7.1 As you have seen by  now, we have moved from talking of beliefs in “A Treatise on Unity,”
T3:7.2 that represent the truth of who you are and who God is, we speak  now of ideas or thoughts. If you believe that God created you with a
T3:7.9  Now you have seized upon even this idea and called it not treasure
T3:8.1 you have called things are but representations too and that we move  now beyond representations to meaning so that what you represent will
T3:8.1 and sisters scrambling in the dust. The work that is upon you  now is that of replacing the house of illusion once and for all with
T3:8.1 once and for all with the home of truth. The work that is upon you  now is that of revelation of the Source.
T3:8.4 you believe the personal self is comprised of the one identity you  now hold or the identity of many past lives, the identity you hold in
T3:8.10 in the house of illusion have wrought. These treasures that you  now enjoy would have seemed like miracles to them.
T3:8.13 does not have to be even while you have accepted that it is? Let us  now put an end to this acceptance through the birth of a new idea.
T3:9.1 accepts that this can be done and can be done by you in the here and  now. To accept these ideas without accepting their ability to be
T3:9.2 While you cannot  now see the chain of events that will make these ideas into a new
T3:9.3 it and held together by the learned ideas of the ego thought system.  Now you must imagine yourself walking outside of the doors of this
T3:9.6 who have followed me beyond the walls of the house of illusion are  now called to begin the act of revealing and creating anew the life
T3:10.1 A Course of Love talked much of remembering.  Now we must talk about forgetting. While nothing need be given up to
T3:10.1 practical lessons needed in regard to the life of the body that you  now will let serve our cause of creating heaven on earth.
T3:10.4 it is you fear, been able to bring those concerns to love, you can  now do so with blame. All you need do is catch yourself in the act of
T3:10.5 of blame is an idea of acceptance of what is, an idea that is needed  now.
T3:10.7 formerly reacted to every situation. Not one situation coming to you  now will be a repeat of the past. How can it be when the past was
T3:10.7 your time of unlearning what the past but seemed to teach you.  Now, while life may seem much unchanged in its outward appearance, it
T3:10.9 and that you are no longer called to doubt yourself. Your Self is  now your Christ-Self.
T3:10.11 yourself that the time for uncertainty is past. Uncertainty will not  now come to teach you lessons you have already learned but will only
T3:10.14 What we are doing  now is much like translating the learned thought system of the ego
T3:10.16 temptations of the human experience. These are what we will  now address.
T3:11.7 This is what you are  now called to do: Be aware that the love of God lives within you.
T3:11.14 truth. This is why the word see is consciously used here and why we  now refrain from use of the word perceive. Perception is gone as soon
T3:12.4 before, is the miracle. This miracle is the goal toward which we  now work.
T3:12.5 to your awareness the truth of your identity. By changing our goal  now, I am assuring you that you have become aware of the truth of
T3:12.8 “better” or more “right” before this choice was made than you are  now. You made a choice consistent with the laws of creation and the
T3:12.11 creation but there are stages of growth and change. Humankind is  now passing through a tremendous stage of growth and change. Are you
T3:13.1  Now that we have established the consistency of our former purpose,
T3:13.4 Broad brushstrokes have been made  now, giving you the beginnings of a vision of a life in physical form
T3:13.4 that has been accomplished. The new learning that lies ahead of you  now is simply learning in accordance with the new thought system of
T3:13.4 distinguish between love and fear as cause is all that is important  now as you will create the new according to what you believe to be
T3:13.5 Remember  now that pleasure and pain as perceived by the body are from the same
T3:13.9 really being represented in the life you live here. This you must  now do. You must represent the truth of these words with your life.
T3:14.1 While the foundation of fear, like the ego, will have left you  now, a pattern of behaving fearfully may still remain and as such be
T3:14.1 system will still exist within your mind and heart, as nothing can  now take this memory from you, but to experience the new thought
T3:14.2 system and living by a new thought system more clear. Because you  now are translating the thought system of the ego into the thought
T3:14.3 It should be becoming clear to you by  now that, although you dwell in the house of the truth, you are
T3:14.5 I am, however, the bringer of Good News.  Now I will repeat to you a piece of good news you may have forgotten:
T3:14.5 than who you are. What this means to the learning stage you are at  now is that you but think you are discontent with much of your life.
T3:14.10 you, at this point, still hold to yourself and call unforgivable,  now is the time to let them go. If you have read the paragraph above
T3:14.10 have not previously brought to love to be seen in a new light, are  now revealed in the light of truth.
T3:14.11 The suffering that has been chosen has been mighty. The choice  now is not a choice to explore the why behind it or to look for
T3:14.11 the why behind it or to look for remedies for the past. The choice  now is whether you want suffering to continue or want to abolish it
T3:14.11 of being called selfishness. Be self “less” rather than selfish  now and allow the self that you would blame to pass away into the
T3:14.14 We are writing a new first page, a new Genesis. It begins  now. It begins with the rebirth of a Self of love. It begins with the
T3:15.7 You must  now birth the idea that human beings do indeed change. While you have
T3:15.7 there is a core, a center to each that is unchangeable, you must  now give up the idea that this core or center has been represented by
T3:15.9 The new beginning you are called to  now is a new beginning that, like all others that you have offered or
T3:15.11 no need to learn the truth. The truth exists within you and you are  now aware of its reality.
T3:15.16 What we are adding  now to these beliefs is the idea that these beliefs can be
T3:16.6 keep this lag in time a constant, and make it seem as if what is  now is still awaiting replacement by what will be, is a change that
T3:16.15  Now you must forget the idea of needing to maintain specialness. A
T3:16.15 love relationships. You will realize that the love and the Self you  now have available to share in relationship are all that you would
T3:17.2 that what was observable was “other than” he who did the observing.  Now your science is proving to you the relationship between the
T3:17.4 As such, it was as much a new beginning as the new beginning you are  now called to. It required the learning of a new thought system, the
T3:17.5 of untruth in the mechanism of time, to the world in which you  now exist. It may seem ridiculous to say that the untrue can be
T3:17.6 Holy Spirit, are but word symbols that represent what is. So think  now of whatever stories you know of the Holy Spirit, stories that
T3:17.8 could not have returned to you. The “time” of the Holy Spirit has  now ended because the time of illusion is now called to an end. What
T3:17.8 of the Holy Spirit has now ended because the time of illusion is  now called to an end. What is finite has an end point and this is
T3:18.1 those who have not learned by the Holy Spirit will learn. They will  now learn through observation.
T3:18.2 have been unwilling to accept or learn an unobservable truth, will  now accept and learn from observable truth. This is why you must
T3:18.8 what is there. You must constantly remember that your observance is  now an act of worship and of devotion and that you are called to
T3:18.9 thought system of illusion, it is natural to realize that it will  now be instructed by the thought system of the truth. Thus your eyes
T3:18.10 We also  now link observance and ideas. Ideas form in the mind. You are used
T3:18.10 the relationship of the truth that unites all things and that must  now become observable.
T3:19.2 upon the physical. How could this be true when the physical is  now called upon to serve the greatest learning humankind has ever
T3:19.4 has been linked to temptations of the human experience. Let us  now dispel this link. The physical form has been blamed for choices
T3:19.11 that will seem to arise from bodily temptations. Although you will  now represent who you are in physical form in a new way, you can
T3:19.13 until it was represented in an observable manner, something you will  now do.
T3:20.1 and so but seemed to become a master that made of you a slave.  Now time must be thought of in a new way, a way that has to do with
T3:20.1 has at its base a false cause and so no effects that exist in truth.  Now, your every thought and action will have effect, and the choices
T3:20.3 and thus what you strive for in effectiveness is your own learning.  Now, rather than learning the truth, you are learning how to live by
T3:20.5 Let us  now link observation and the miracle. An easy illustration is
T3:21.8 truth is to deny other truths. There is only one truth. Untruth must  now be denied.
T3:21.10 self is the only place in which you have experience that can  now be used for a new purpose.
T3:21.17  Now however, you are being called to accept your true identity even
T3:21.20 sameness by some and will attract them to you and to the truth you  now will represent.
T3:21.21 could change the world has passed. The world is quite simply bigger  now and the identities of your personal selves split by far more than
T3:22.9 You are impatient  now to get on to the next level, the level of something new, the
T3:22.10 in matters of a personal nature. This very readiness is what I  now call your attention to as I complete this Treatise with lessons
T3:22.12 I return you  now to what I spoke of earlier as creative tension, the tension that
T3:22.13 and of what you desire, is an act that takes place in the here and  now that is and brings what is into existence. You believe that what
T3:22.13 believe that what does not appear to exist with you in the here and  now is not, and place it in a separate category, a category that only
T3:22.13 that only exists in the dualistic world of illusion where here and  now is separate from what will be. In the new world, the world where
T3:22.14 of what is, for your desire is of God and what you desire  now, contrary to what you would have desired in the early stages of
T3:22.14 the early stages of this Course, is the Will of God. What you desire  now is the Will of God because it is your true desire, your will and
T4:1.3 that will cause your mind to conclude that some are not chosen  now and that many were not chosen in the past.
T4:1.8 reject, say yes or say no, to learn this or to learn that, to learn  now or to learn later.
T4:1.11 The choice that lies before you  now concerns what it is you would come to know. The question asked
T4:1.11 you are willing to make the choice to come to know your Self and God  now. This is the same as being asked if you are willing to be the
T4:1.11 between truth and illusion, fear and love, unity and separation,  now and later. What you must understand is that all choices will lead
T4:1.13 many of you have come instinctively to feel, something is different  now. You are beginning to become excited by the feeling that
T4:1.13 been known? What could possibly make you believe it could come to be  now when it didn’t come to be before?
T4:1.21 It is the truth that you have  now learned all that can be learned from this state of consciousness
T4:1.21 willingness to learn in a new way. The new way is here. If you are  now to learn directly, you are also now to share directly. This is
T4:1.21 The new way is here. If you are now to learn directly, you are also  now to share directly. This is the way of learning in relationship.
T4:1.22 a fear that once prevented the direct and observable learning that  now is available to you.
T4:1.23 so clearly able to see the contrast between good and evil and feel  now as if these distinctions have become more and more obscure. Some
T4:2.1 and will be can peacefully coexist with the unity that is here and  now in truth.
T4:2.2 outward in your seeking and saw within what you perceived without,  now you turn inward and reflect what you discover within outward.
T4:2.6 The production that has so long occupied you will  now serve you as you turn your productive and reproductive instincts
T4:2.13 Thus, you must examine your intention even  now and remove from it all ideas that were of the old way. You would
T4:2.15 was among the original reasons for this chosen experience. Observe  now the expressions of the self you are and have been. Although you
T4:2.15 of the self you are and have been. Although you are different  now than you were as a child, and different now than you were a few
T4:2.15 you are different now than you were as a child, and different  now than you were a few years ago, and different now than when you
T4:2.15 and different now than you were a few years ago, and different  now than when you began your learning of this Course, you are not
T4:2.15 you are not other than whom you have always been. Who you are  now was there when you were a child, and there in all the years since
T4:2.15 learning of this Course. Your awareness of the Self that you are  now was not present in the past, but you can truly now, with the
T4:2.15 Self that you are now was not present in the past, but you can truly  now, with the devotion of the observant, see that the Self you are
T4:2.15 now, with the devotion of the observant, see that the Self you are  now was indeed present, and the truth of who you were always.
T4:2.16 called to, the power of cause and its effect. This is the power you  now have within you, the power to observe the truth rather than
T4:2.21  Now I tell you something else and hope you will remember it and bid
T4:2.23 Think of this denial  now, for it is still evident in the pattern of your thinking. We have
T4:2.25 overriding point of what I have revealed to you. A new relationship  now exists between the physical and spiritual. It is not an indirect
T4:2.27 union, returned to you through the joining of mind and heart, will  now reveal to you the truth of what was created and allow you to
T4:2.29 love where there is cause for fear. You must remember that you are  now called to see without judgment. To see without judgment is to see
T4:2.30 although you are not aware of the extent of this change. Realize  now that you have come to recognize unity. You do not any longer see
T4:2.33 relationship through unity and relationship. This is your purpose  now, and this the curriculum to guide you to the fulfillment of your
T4:3.5 displacement of the nature of love with the nature of fear. What we  now are about is reversing this displacement and returning you to
T4:3.7  Now, as we reverse this set of circumstances, and replace the world
T4:3.9 The vision that will arise in you  now is not new. It is your natural vision, the vision of love. What
T4:3.15 that has been fulfilled. It is you who have chosen the means.  Now a new choice is before you.
T4:4.6 as one of life-giving union. I called you then and I call you  now to this inheritance.
T4:4.8 part of the pattern of life-everlasting. The change in the form you  now occupy, the change I have spoken of as that of elevation of the
T4:4.16 worked throughout this Course to return your true identity to you  now? The joining of heart and mind in relationship is the joining of
T4:4.16 personal self with the true Self in the reality in which you exist  now. Remember, the heart must abide in the reality where you think
T4:5.11 I am calling you to make this choice  now. This is not a choice automatic to you in human form or even upon
T4:5.11 You are given the chance, just as you are being given the chance  now, to choose your true nature with your free will.
T4:5.12 Because you have  now made a new choice, a collective choice as one body, one
T4:5.12 your death that you chose direct revelation by God. Think about this  now and you will see that it is true. You hoped to live a good life
T4:5.12 transformed you. The direct revelations that will come to you  now will transform you as surely as did those that came to so many
T4:5.13 you truly; it is no different than the time that is upon you right  now. The afterlife has simply been a time of increased choice because
T4:5.13 the way in which your life will continue. The same is true right  now! For this is the time of Christ and thus of your ability to
T4:6.1  Now I ask you to consider the part you play in the creation of this
T4:6.8 You have the unequalled opportunity  now, because you exist in the Time of Christ, to directly share
T4:7.2 and God cannot help but grow through the direct and observable means  now available. Just as in the time of the Holy Spirit the spirit was
T4:7.3 Those of you who have acquired Christ-consciousness and are  now learning the vision of Christ-consciousness must realize the many
T4:7.3 of the unity that creates and sustains all living things will  now be as close to the surface of consciousness as was, during the
T4:7.5 judgment, and bound heart and body to this reality. Your heart has  now heard the appeal of this Course and worked with your mind to
T4:7.6 and body have joined in alignment to bring this learning about. They  now exist in harmony. Your mind and heart in union have brought
T4:7.7 poor health is no cause for judgment, as it is the perfect health,  now, in the past, and in the future, to bring you the lessons you
T4:8.1 You are  now beginning to reach the stage of understanding wherein you can
T4:8.1 physical form, and so began this experience of human life. You are  now beginning to be able to understand that it was God who made this
T4:8.2 I say you are only  now beginning to reach a stage where you can understand this, but
T4:8.2 you can understand this, but what I really mean is that you are only  now reaching a stage wherein you can know, within your inner being,
T4:8.2 inner being, that this is the truth. I say this because it is only  now that you can come to know this truth without reverting to old
T4:8.2 for all that has ensued since this choice. I say this because only  now are you beginning to be ready to hear that you and God are the
T4:8.17 you to awareness of your true identity. Be done with learning  now as you accept who you truly are.
T4:9.1 even this coursework comes to an end. It comes to an end here and  now as we move past study and learning to observation, vision, and
T4:9.2 come to an end. For this end to learning is the goal toward which we  now work.
T4:9.4 But  now the time is upon you to leave learned works behind in favor of
T4:9.4 learned works behind in favor of observation, vision and revelation.  Now is the time to leave behind study for imagining, envisioning, and
T4:9.4 time to leave behind study for imagining, envisioning, and desire.  Now is the time to move out of the time of becoming who you are to
T4:9.7 Be appreciative of every tool that has advanced your progress. But  now be willing to leave them behind.
T4:9.8 these called to a wisdom beyond their personal capacity.  Now these forerunners of the new, along with you, are called to step
T4:9.9 have risen in the esteem of your brothers and sisters, be beacons  now to the new. You who have gained so much through your learning and
T4:9.9 move beyond it would be an understandable choice, but you are needed  now. Needed to help establish the covenant of the new. Be not afraid,
T4:10.1 resigning as your own teacher, to becoming a true student, and to  now leading you beyond the time of being a student to the realization
T4:10.1 role and became comfortable in the true role of learner. You are  now asked to be willing to give up the role of learner and to believe
T4:10.2 will come to know anything new, or be anything beyond that which you  now are, without learning. Your thoughts might stray to ideas about
T4:10.3 the lessons contained therein. So how, you might ask, do you quit  now, doing what you have so long done?
T4:10.7 What we work toward  now is to advance from learning and producing things and perceived
T4:10.11 you and the expression of the Self of love in form is what you are  now ready to do. Learning was what was necessary in order to know who
T4:11.3 in Christ, as you once willingly resigned as your own teacher, I  now willingly resign as your teacher. In unity there is no need for
T4:12.9 religious, abandon not your churches, for you will find within them  now, direct experiences of sharing. If you have found guidance and
T4:12.9 word, abandon not the written word, for the written word will  now elicit direct experiences of sharing. If you have enjoyed
T4:12.10 All you must remember  now is that the time of learning is past. While you are still
T4:12.14 in the hopes that it would bring you to the state in which you  now abide! You dreaded each learning challenge because you feared
T4:12.20 let doubt of yourself take hold of you. Even though you are abiding  now in the state of Christ-consciousness, the pattern of the old
T4:12.21 Your “centeredness” must  now be focused on sharing in unity and relationship, and thus
T4:12.21 and relationship and thus creating unity and relationship are only  now being created by the one mind and heart that you share in unity
T4:12.24 You  now exist within a shared consciousness. The pattern of a shared
T4:12.27 which you will come to remember and share in unity that concerns you  now and what we are speaking of when we talk of patterns. There was a
D:1.5 fail to be prepared, for you are already accomplished. What will it  now take for your mind to accept this truth? For the mind’s
D:1.12 of these invite a new identity. So, too, do we invite a new identity  now. While these sacraments have largely lost their meaning, the
D:1.12 these sacraments have largely lost their meaning, the sacrament I  now call you to restores meaning. Since new names are only symbols of
D:1.12 only be known within. It is to this state of grace that I call you  now, today: The state of grace of the newly identified child of God.
D:1.14 I am not less than I once was, but more. Where once I was empty, I  now am full. Where once I dwelt in darkness I now dwell in the light.
D:1.14 once I was empty, I now am full. Where once I dwelt in darkness I  now dwell in the light. Where once I had forgotten Now I remember who
D:1.14 in darkness I now dwell in the light. Where once I had forgotten  Now I remember who I Am. Now I go forth To live as who I Am within
D:1.14 in the light. Where once I had forgotten Now I remember who I Am.  Now I go forth To live as who I Am within the world To make cause and
D:1.16 remains only as an acceptance of insanity. What I will help you  now to do is to reject this insanity and to accept the perfect sanity
D:1.18 So what is it that we will  now do? If I do not teach, and you do not learn, what is our
D:1.22 state of knowing in which learning is no longer needed. You have  now come upon a curriculum that is impossible to learn. No teacher is
D:1.24 of purpose concerning your body. What once you saw as yourself, you  now must come to see only as a representation of your Self. You are
D:1.27 Thus we work  now toward acceptance of what you have learned in unity. We work
D:2.1 You are  now asked to do two things simultaneously: To accept the new and to
D:2.3 when you deny the patterns of the old. As you have been told, you  now “know what you do” and are no longer a victim to the circumstance
D:2.6 and even appropriate. In regard to the learning that you have  now completed, learning that has revealed the true nature of who you
D:2.10 It is proper  now to deny the modes of learning, even when they seemed to work for
D:2.15 was to return you to your true identity. Because we are working  now for the integration of your true identity into the self of form,
D:2.19 learned so that learning would not need to be endlessly repeated.  Now these systems and patterns have become so entrenched that no new
D:3.2 call to life. It is not of the past or the future but of the eternal  now. It is within you as we speak, the tone and timbre of this
D:3.3 the very purpose you have always desired. You are not purposeless  now. Your life is not meaningless. You are the ushers, the pioneers
D:3.7 and struggle. This is what is meant by surrender. We achieve victory  now through surrender, an active and total acceptance of what is
D:3.8 in “A Treatise on Unity and Its Recognition”. Let’s talk of this  now as an idea, rather than as something learned, and as an idea for
D:3.10 oneness. Oneness replaces duality or contrast. You will be seeking  now for replacements for that which formerly ordered your life. Thus
D:3.12 and receiving as one be shared in form. Yet the elevated form, which  now represents the shared consciousness of the Self, is not separate
D:3.12 from the shared consciousness. Thus giving and receiving as one is  now the nature of the elevated Self of form, and what we work toward
D:3.16 has to do with that of which you are aware. To know what you  now know, and remain aware only of the reality of the separated self,
D:3.21  Now I realize that this is just the first step revealed and that many
D:3.21 you with a concept difficult to learn. What you need remember  now is that your separated self already learned this concept of
D:4.2 made you feel as if each being stood separate and alone, you are  now called to see no more. In unity you are whole and inseparable,
D:4.2 no more. In unity you are whole and inseparable, one living organism  now raised above the level of the organism as you become aware of
D:4.3 It is time  now for this idea to be accepted, for if it is not, you will remain
D:4.13 and we will talk much more of them and of the creative time we are  now entering. Thus far, we are merely working together to create a
D:4.16 loop. Obviously these systems, built as they were upon patterns  now being recreated, are part of the old.
D:4.18 a divine existence. That divine universe, our divine existence, is  now recreating the patterns that served the time of learning. What
D:4.20 Do not seek someone to tell you anew what to do with who you are  now that you are no longer a prisoner. Do not give keys to a new
D:4.25 build the new upon prison walls of old. Whatever imprisons you must  now be left behind.
D:4.26 Those of you  now protesting having heard what you have so longed to hear, protest
D:4.28 your release. You can only turn to what is, to what is left  now that the patterns and systems of learning are no longer.
D:4.29 order, or original design. As you have been returned to your Self,  now your life must be returned to where it fits within the divine
D:5.3 What we are doing  now is returning the world to its true representation. As was said in
D:5.8 an example here. The ego but seemed to be who you were for a time.  Now that you know who you are in truth, the ego does not remain, a
D:5.9 Thus must it be  now with everything in your world. Everywhere you look the lie of
D:5.10 learned to take judgment from your seeing, this must be reemphasized  now as you are called to see what you might previously have thought
D:5.11 Remember  now that you are not called to reinterpret but to accept revelation.
D:5.11 to you to remind you of who you are in the time of learning that is  now passing away. Thus all was given to you to represent what is
D:5.11 all was given to you to represent what is rather than to be what is.  Now, as you join with the truth, your representation, in the new time
D:5.12 in the time of learning are all that exist in all you see. But what  now will become of these patterns that are no longer needed as your
D:5.13 would be to create a tome of information, and this is not needed  now. The desire for such is a desire to think through once again the
D:5.17 that occur as this dialogue proceeds. What I am attempting to answer  now is your confusion concerning what is. This is crucial as you
D:5.17 the human spirit, the longing that has so long gone unfulfilled that  now that you are close you cannot bear to wait another day, another
D:5.17 to wait another day, another hour. You want release from your prison  now, and so you should.
D:5.18 thoughts that so confuse you, the prison of past and future and a  now that isn’t changing fast enough to suit the new you whom you have
D:5.20 exist in perfect harmony with the universe? As you can see, you are  now approaching another thought reversal. Fear not that your
D:6.2 of the properties of the false that aided your learning may  now work as a detriment to your acceptance as you cling to ideas
D:6.4 of course, does not. Your belief in the non-existence of the ego is  now total and has brought a freedom and a liberation in which you
D:6.4 foreign to you and less and less comfortable. Thus what is required  now is a new way of envisioning the body and its service to you.
D:6.5 assisted us in bringing about the end of the time of learning. But  now your body—your form—must be seen in a new way. It is thus
D:6.13  Now if this were to happen, scientists would quickly determine the
D:6.17 one, you will begin to see the enormity of the thought reversal that  now awaits your acceptance. As I said earlier, we begin by applying
D:6.19 prevented it by abstaining from the unhealthy habits. You might look  now at these two attitudes and see that they are somewhat silly, but
D:6.21 system we are leaving behind. As a non-learning being you are  now called to accept that you no longer need this type of learning
D:6.22 Let us return  now to the beginning and start with the body as a given. It is what
D:6.22 it is in terms of flesh and bone, and it is also the form that is  now serving to represent the truth of who you are. How might this
D:6.22 the design of the body represented? What might the bodily design  now represent?
D:6.24 true Self. You have accepted your true identity. How could the body  now be the same as it once was?
D:6.26 The body is  now the embodiment of the true Self, the embodiment of love, the
D:6.26 of divinity. Its existence is given as it was always given. But  now the very nature of its existence has changed. I say changed here
D:6.26 has always existed in the perfect harmony in which it was created.  Now that your Self has joined the elevated Self of form, you exist
D:6.26 portions of your Self missing from this new experience in form you  now enter into, but that the elevated Self of form is now able to
D:6.26 in form you now enter into, but that the elevated Self of form is  now able to join with the Self in the unity of shared consciousness.
D:6.27 state of form and the state of unity, are both in existence right  now. In the state of unity, your true Self is fully aware of the
D:6.28 no longer a learning being, for what is time needed? Time is needed  now only for the transformation of the self from a learning being to
D:7.2 was used because you were still, at that time, a learning being.  Now we will adjust our language somewhat to represent the new and
D:7.4 place in time because experience, too, was designed for learning.  Now experience is needed in time to aid your total acceptance of what
D:7.7 self, existing as man or woman in a particular time in history.  Now you are called to discover how to exist in form without being
D:7.8 require you to be defined by particularity. You can accept the body  now as what it is in all its manifestations while not seeing it as
D:7.9 truly. You have not been aware of all that you are. You are thus  now called to discover and to become aware of all that you are. The
D:7.9 rather than aiding you in learning as it once did, will aid you  now in this discovery.
D:7.10 or body—because of the dualistic nature associated with them—  now can love all of your Self, all of God, all of creation. You can
D:7.11 But again, we start with the body, returning love to it  now. It is what it is, and nothing that it is, is deserving of
D:7.14 Being in love is a definition of what you  now are as you accept the unconditional, nonjudgmental love of all.
D:7.14 to contain you. It was a relationship with the separated self.  Now, because your relationship is with wholeness, you can transfer
D:7.17 It is a step toward full acceptance and awareness of who you are  now and what this means as you become the elevated Self of form.
D:7.20 With your new awareness you are  now linked, through the consciousness of unity, with the entire field
D:7.20 you will begin to expand and express in new ways. Those ways thus  now include the form of your body without being limited to creation
D:7.26 In order to facilitate your understanding, I call you  now to imagine your body as a dot in the center of a circle and the
D:7.26 learned to view your body in the field of time. This will be helpful  now as you begin to imagine the “more” that you are, the “more” that
D:8.1 imagine your body as the dot within the circle, I ask you to imagine  now being able to take a step outside of the area of this dot, and
D:8.2 this first as a place where no learning is needed. Ah, you might say  now, this you have heard before. This idea of no longer needing to
D:8.7 of the new will naturally include much that goes beyond what you  now think of as your natural talents or abilities, the place or
D:8.8  Now this is not new information. Much of this was taught in “A
D:8.8 all of what you needed to learn was put forth. What we are  now doing is discussing what was taught from the realm of
D:9.4 life without reaching the place of fulfillment you have sought. Even  now, when you have learned all that you are in need of learning, the
D:9.6 and with your change, the truth, while it remains the truth, can  now be presented in a way that speaks to who you are now rather than
D:9.6 the truth, can now be presented in a way that speaks to who you are  now rather than who you were when you began A Course of Love.
D:9.8 remember your newness and the different aim toward which we  now work. The aims we clearly embraced together when you were still a
D:9.8 “A Treatise on the Art of Thought” was but a forerunner to what we  now will embrace together. It was a means and an end.
D:9.10 “A Treatise on the New” we established what lies beyond learning.  Now, as we embrace the new together, it must be realized again and
D:9.11 the territory of your conscious awareness. We do this by discussing  now the nature of ideas as opposed to the nature of thoughts.
D:9.13 This is how you must  now come to see your form; it is that through which what already
D:10.4  Now you might be thinking, here, that while these givens come from
D:11.4 beginning to the total rejection of thought as you know it that must  now occur in order to go on to creation of the new. You create the
D:11.6 of a time in which desire will no longer serve you, just as learning  now no longer serves you? If you reach a state of full acceptance of
D:11.8  Now I return you to your idea of how these words have come to you,
D:11.15 retain your desire to make an individual contribution, when you can  now make a contribution such as this? Is not your unique expression
D:11.18 Turn  now not to your thoughts, but to the mind and heart joined in unity.
D:12.4 this Course. You were told within this Course and you are reminded  now that these words enter through your heart. As your mind and heart
D:12.5  Now you may not “think” that you have been doing this, yet few of you
D:12.5 felt no “step” into the realm of unity, and you may rightly wonder  now, if you can take such a step and be unaware of it, what its value
D:12.6 This is why we work  now on your awareness and acceptance of your changed state, for
D:12.10 Let us  now consider “thinking” to be the active and often unwelcome voice
D:12.11 is that although thinking does not serve you, you do have, right  now, and have always had, true thoughts that come to you from your
D:12.14  Now that you are coming to a more clear idea of what the “thoughts”
D:13.8 and you will begin to see the evidence that things are different  now. Join with others who are coming to know through the state of
D:13.9 Just as you were taught that you could not learn on your own, you are  now being told by one who knows that you also do not come to the
D:13.11 We come  now to the second part of what we are exploring together here, the
D:14.4 testing this invulnerability. In a certain sense, these cautions are  now lessened. While you still are not to view your invulnerability as
D:14.7 It has been said often that revelation is of God, but remember  now that God is not “other than” and that the God who seemed so
D:14.7 God who seemed so distant from you when you abided in separation can  now be heard and seen and felt in your experiences of unity.
D:14.14 subtle memory of this state that is behind your striving to become.  Now you are beginning to see the vastness of what is meant by
D:15.1 been the same, and it will not be the same in the future as it is  now. But there are certain principles that govern creation. These
D:15.12 you to develop a relationship with all that passes through you.  Now is the time when the fruit of those efforts will be reaped. For
D:15.12 fruit of those efforts will be reaped. For what passes through you  now is a relationship without end. What passes through you now is the
D:15.12 you now is a relationship without end. What passes through you  now is the eternal come to replace the temporal.
D:15.15 to be. Continual and unblocked and aware pass-through is what we  now consider.
D:15.19 of your relationship with unity. You have experienced unity  now and you wish it to continue to serve you. You thus must strive to
D:15.21 Let this idea enter you  now. You have left behind the conditions of learning. Why? Because
D:15.22 accustomed to the thinner air, the view from above, to what you  now can see. You catch your breath and let the wind of spirit fill
D:16.1 that existed before the onset of the state of becoming. You are  now in the final stage of the state of becoming. You now know who you
D:16.1 You are now in the final stage of the state of becoming. You  now know who you are, and so now you can begin the work, or the
D:16.1 stage of the state of becoming. You now know who you are, and so  now you can begin the work, or the relationship of this final stage:
D:16.2 The creation story is occurring, right  now, in each of you who have reached this final stage of becoming.
D:16.12 has not quite been accomplished in you. This is precisely why we  now discuss this state of becoming, this movement from image to
D:16.18 your former self, the image of your best self, who you may imagine  now, through the grace of God, you finally are. But this may also at
D:17.10 said within this Course, is a condition of the initiate. You have  now passed hope by as you have moved beyond the state of initiation.
D:17.11 You stand  now at the threshold. The stimulus has been provided, the journey
D:17.11 The stimulus has been provided, the journey taken. You are present.  Now is the time for your response.
D:17.13 What is different  now is that your wholeheartedness, as well as your desire, has moved
D:17.14 that were asked of you earlier, for they are even more pertinent  now. Do you think desire will still be with you when you have
D:17.14 of a time in which desire will no longer serve you, just as learning  now no longer serves you? If you reach a state of full acceptance of
D:17.15 Your heart is a full well. It is because you have  now turned to your heart, instead of to your thinking, that you feel
D:17.18 response to desire. It is an assumption of needs unfulfilled. You  now stand in fulfillment. This is the secret of succession.
D:17.19 Desire asks for a response. From where is this response sought? You  now must understand the fullness of the well of your heart, the
D:17.20 You have realized  now that you remain in a state of becoming, and any disappointment
D:Day1.6  Now that you have moved beyond the thought system of the ego self,
D:Day1.6 initiate, the time of waiting. You have chosen. You are merely asked  now to look at what you have chosen and to understand what you
D:Day1.11 Many people  now are discovering the power of healing. Some think this power comes
D:Day1.14 and lived the teachings that have brought you to this point which I  now would like to lead you beyond, the world would be a different
D:Day1.21 This fulfillment of scripture has  now occurred within you. When it occurred within me, it occurred
D:Day1.28 the story we share. The Bible and all holy texts can be seen clearly  now as one creation story. One story of one beginning. One story with
D:Day2.1 of me. Acceptance of your Self is acceptance of your inheritance.  Now is the time to come into full acceptance of the human self as
D:Day2.2 go the ego, re-viewed your life, unlearned previous patterns, and  now see the difference between the image you hold of yourself and
D:Day2.3 been reconciled. You can see the pattern of your life as clearly  now as if a masterful biography had been written of it. It is this
D:Day2.3 “haunting” to some of you. Your life is being seen more as a whole  now. The parts are fitting together. You can see how you have moved
D:Day2.4 many hardships over many projects that did not come to fruition, and  now has succeeded in inventing just what was always envisioned. This
D:Day2.6 shame; but the hurts you have done others may weigh heavily on you  now. It is as if, at this mountain peak, you have discovered a
D:Day2.10 Let me ask you  now, are these feelings—feelings that are attached to your belief
D:Day2.11  Now is the time for acceptance, even of these actions that you would
D:Day2.18 that it did not occur in time and space, just as yours is occurring  now in time and space. What this means is that what occurs in time
D:Day2.26 Willingness is  now upon humankind. What my life demonstrated but needs to be
D:Day3.1 is anger. We have already spoken of denial, albeit in a new way.  Now we will speak of anger, in both an old and a new way. Let me
D:Day3.2 for only through them did you learn. You are beginning to see  now that this learning was not a choice but only the way you knew
D:Day3.5 anger is a product of the condition of learning. It always was, but  now this is being revealed to you not just through my words, but by
D:Day3.12 learned during the time of learning that letting it go, even  now, still torments you with worry and anger. It is the idea of an
D:Day3.18 This resentment and envy fills you with anger. If you feel any anger  now, pay attention to its effect on you. You can feel, perhaps, the
D:Day3.25 true. What you learned is insane. But to realize the truth you must  now fully reject the untruths that you learned. You must fully reject
D:Day3.26 the teachings of A Course of Love. But beyond learning is where we  now stand. We now stand at the place of the rejection of learning—
D:Day3.26 of A Course of Love. But beyond learning is where we now stand. We  now stand at the place of the rejection of learning—the rejection
D:Day3.40 You have accepted  now, because of whatever experiences of unity you have had, that the
D:Day3.40 new source of entry. But these points do not advance our discussion  now and can be returned to later. The point here is your “concept” or
D:Day3.49 still and not worrying about money, or taking actions, right-actions  now, as opposed to your idea of the wrong-actions of the past, in
D:Day3.54 You might argue  now that what you do with great ideas and great talent is of
D:Day4.1 my arguments were not fed by anger, the arguments that arise  now for you will be and as such are actually appropriate to this
D:Day4.7 You all begin life without the ability to think in the terms you  now associate almost exclusively with thinking, the terms of having
D:Day4.10 You are here  now not to relearn or be taught what life is all about, not to
D:Day4.17 was purposeful. That challenge was meant then, and continues to mean  now, a call to a new choice. It asks that you challenge your
D:Day4.21 you have learned led to an inaccurate world-view in the here and  now, but to an inaccurate world-view of the past, of the hereafter,
D:Day4.34 There is a similar type of focus that will serve you  now. It is not a tool, as is meditation, for you are no longer in
D:Day4.36 We acknowledged that your desire is stronger than ever before.  Now is the time to focus on this desire and fulfillment, to stretch
D:Day4.42 Smile with me  now, as you think of yourself in this elevated place. You are still
D:Day4.46 love is. It means that you will resurrect to eternal life here and  now. It means no turning back, no return to fear or anger, no return
D:Day4.51 that you have not moved through the stages to full acceptance answer  now as to what is stopping you. Do you choose to dwell or to accept?
D:Day4.52 not so directly linked fear and the time of learning before, but  now you need to see their connection, for if you do not, you will not
D:Day5.1 than sustain the state of unity. This point of access will thus  now be discussed, both as an initial entry point and as a continued
D:Day5.3 what originates “within” coming from a point beyond the body is not  now too unbelievable to contemplate.
D:Day5.6 What we have focused on for some time  now is love. Love never changes. It thus is the same for each of us.
D:Day5.6 in exactly the same way as another. This is important to remember  now as you begin to work with your access to unity.
D:Day5.15 Realize here that although you are  now a part of a community seeking the same goal, the realization, or
D:Day5.17 Who you are  now, what your desires are, and where your talents have been
D:Day5.17 your talents have been recognized, are as given as the goal you  now desire to realize. Again I remind you that the sameness of union
D:Day5.21 focus on access. Wherever your chosen point of access lies, imagine  now the needle that was discussed as passing through the onion in the
D:Day5.21 intersection connecting with your chosen access point. Imagine this  now, not as a needle but as the wisdom you seek. Imagine this wisdom
D:Day5.26 this is when full access is attained. So we will continue our work  now in releasing you from those things that would still block your
D:Day6.1 We  now will discuss being the true Self while becoming the true Self—
D:Day6.11 between Creator and created. You are being who you are right  now and eliciting the expression that will take you to the final
D:Day6.12 You are not separate  now from who you will be when you reach completion! You are in and
D:Day6.13  Now, in returning to one of the main themes of this chapter—the
D:Day6.20 I had attained. The temptations of the human experience are the same  now as they were then. They are the same on the mountain top as they
D:Day6.29  Now let’s address this seeming paradox. You have been told to do only
D:Day6.30 and pass-through. This is it! Right here in your life as it is right  now.
D:Day6.31 pass through you as you allow for and accept where you are right  now and who you are right now.
D:Day6.31 allow for and accept where you are right now and who you are right  now.
D:Day6.33 Let us speak  now of the conditions of the time of acceptance, for these will cheer
D:Day7.1 What does the idea of only  now coming to acceptance imply but that you were previously
D:Day7.3 love. Love is life giving and life supporting. There is thus nothing  now degenerating about life.
D:Day7.4 Life is  now supported. Support is thus a condition of the time of acceptance.
D:Day7.5 You must realize here that the pattern of learning is  now all that is left that can be degenerating to you. While you
D:Day7.5 learning was not one of support but one of effort. You must accept,  now, that the pattern of learning is an extension of fear and be
D:Day7.5 of abundance, you may still feel unsupported in form. Realize  now, that this makes no sense when our goal is the elevation of form.
D:Day7.7 of the time of acceptance that will be of great service to you  now is that of the different relationship that you will have with
D:Day7.7 is replaced by presence, by your ability to exist in the here and  now in acceptance and without fear.
D:Day7.10 and create a new universe. This condition of expansion is operative  now and beginning to find manifestation through the sharing we are
D:Day7.18 And yet what we are concerned about  now is the present. It is here, in this present and given time on the
D:Day8.1 conditions of the time of acceptance may not have cheered you fully.  Now, with the ideas of the conditions of the time of acceptance fresh
D:Day8.5 do not like your job, you have accepted your Self and where you are  now, rather than the external circumstance. We are not, when talking
D:Day8.7  Now you may have been thinking—again, at least subconsciously—
D:Day8.7 to an ideal self. Yet this ideal self is not the self you are right  now. You cannot accept only an ideal self. This is nonsense. Can you
D:Day8.8 through acceptance of the way you want to be but of the way you are  now. There will be many things within your life that will take some
D:Day8.16 This is the importance  now of accepting yourself in the present and of understanding
D:Day8.17 the lessons of the past or taken these steps toward elevation.  Now, however, it is crucial that you come to acceptance of yourself—
D:Day8.21  Now you must realize that you no longer have cause to fear your
D:Day8.22 If anger arises in you  now, it does not mean that you will react in whatever way anger once
D:Day8.22 the feeling itself. The feeling is provided by the body, a helpmate  now in your service as a route to true expression.
D:Day8.23 Remember always that we work  now to unite the Self of union with the self of form. The self of
D:Day8.23 of union with the self of form. The self of form cannot be denied  now. This is a continuation of the reversal of some of the ideas of
D:Day8.28 your true Self! To true representation of who you are—who you are  now!
D:Day8.30 I call you  now to embrace this freedom.
D:Day9.1 want, freedom from lack, freedom from repression, are what we will  now enjoy together on our mountain top retreat. We have not removed
D:Day9.2 Allow yourself,  now, to experience your arrival, your return to your true home, your
D:Day9.4 who do not as yet feel the freedom of the new, allow yourself  now, to do so. Allow freedom to reign, for it is your allowance, your
D:Day9.4 your permission, that will make it so. The only one who can stop you  now is yourself. The only permission you ever needed was your own.
D:Day9.7 Realize  now the truth of what you have just heard. While you know you have
D:Day9.10 your mind, no matter what form it takes, is still an image, and must  now be done without if you are going to realize freedom.
D:Day9.12 Realize  now that your ideal image, no matter how it was formed, is a product
D:Day9.21 This desire of “followers” to accept an image is less prevalent  now but still a common danger.
D:Day9.24 your ability to accept that you are your ideal self. Yes, even right  now, with all your seeming imperfections.
D:Day9.25 self. You can only express the beauty and truth of who you are  now, in the present. And you do. You just have not realized that you
D:Day9.30  Now we must return to you the freedom and the will to fan the flames
D:Day9.31 would long for in a place outside of, or beyond, the self you are  now.
D:Day9.32 is all these are—learning challenges. You seek learning challenges  now only because of the consistency with which you did so in the
D:Day9.32 challenge and so your natural pattern would be to keep going  now, to use the momentum of this learning success to achieve another.
D:Day10.2 See you  now why the certainty of union must be combined with the confidence
D:Day10.3 willingness to experience its cause and its effect. I am asking you  now to be willing to move from conviction to reliance. I am not
D:Day10.11 thought. This lack of trust works both for you and against you  now. It works for you in that you do not have to resist and reject an
D:Day10.12 was the perfect vehicle for learning in the time of learning, it is  now being transformed into the perfect vehicle for the realization of
D:Day10.14 you believe that your feelings have misled you in the past, you  now still doubt your feelings. Because you have doubted yourself in
D:Day10.14 your feelings. Because you have doubted yourself in the past, you  now still look for reassurances and proof that you are “right” before
D:Day10.17 your reliance to me and to the state of unity. This was purposeful.  Now, however, you are asked to return to wholeness, a state in which
D:Day10.18 the distinction between your Self and the man or woman you are.  Now you are called to forget what you have “learned” and to let all
D:Day10.20 ago will aide you in realizing that this is the voice that will  now animate the elevated Self of form, or in other words, you.
D:Day10.21 You can be both/and, rather than either/or. As I speak to you  now as the voice of Christ-consciousness—as your own true Self—
D:Day10.27 reigns and the spirit is free of the body. Yet if you were to think  now of a person whom you know who has died, you would not be likely
D:Day10.27 the elevated Self of form, as not much different than you are  now, but peaceful and free of the constraints of the body.
D:Day10.28 all honesty, think that even in whatever form or lack of form they  now occupy, they do not like it, even now, even beyond the grave?
D:Day10.28 form or lack of form they now occupy, they do not like it, even  now, even beyond the grave?
D:Day10.31 the times in which I lived? Or do you not see that it is the same  now as then?
D:Day10.32 to call for extreme measures. The only extreme measure called for  now is the same extreme measure that I called for during my life. It
D:Day10.36 pursued separately from one another and from God—until recently.  Now unity is being sought and unity is being found.
D:Day10.38 As you can see, it is difficult for me, even  now, even in this final address to you as the man Jesus, to speak of
D:Day10.38 by love and to let all the feelings of love flowing through you  now find their expression. I desire, more than anything, your
D:Day10.39 inheritance. This is the gift of love I came to give and give newly  now, to you. Blessed brother and sister, we feel the same love, the
D:Day12.1  Now we listen to feelings. Now we listen to feelings and understand
D:Day12.1 Now we listen to feelings.  Now we listen to feelings and understand what they have to say to us.
D:Day12.1 we listen to feelings and understand what they have to say to us.  Now we listen with a new ear, the ear of the heart. Now we recognize
D:Day12.1 to say to us. Now we listen with a new ear, the ear of the heart.  Now we recognize the thoughts that would censor our feelings, calling
D:Day12.2 form but the reverse is true and has always been true. The body is  now ready to know that it is embodied, enclosed, surrounded, taken
D:Day12.2 surrounded, taken up, by consciousness. It is your feelings that  now will be the sense organs of this spaciousness. Not feelings of
D:Day12.2 or touch, but feelings of love of Self. Feelings of love of Self are  now what hold open the space of the Self, allowing the space to be.
D:Day12.5 imaginable. All you must do is listen to your Self. Your Self is  now a feeling, conscious space, unhindered by any obstacles of form.
D:Day13.1 The many selves who have come and gone since the beginning of time  now know themselves as the many and the one, the individual and the
D:Day13.1 This is the knowing in relationship that is available to you  now.
D:Day14.1 healed as well as the sick, the chaos and the peace. Thus we heal  now by calling on wholeness, accepting the healed self’s ability to
D:Day14.6 learning to disclaim all that you have called your “own,” you are  now given the task of claiming your power as your own. All that is
D:Day14.7 to later, is the opposite of the holding within you are asked to do  now because those things that were held in a “holding pattern” were
D:Day14.10 Only  now, in your realization of your invisibility and spaciousness, do
D:Day14.12 are only one means, which is why this is called a dialogue. Realize  now that this is but one voice of the many. You have entered into the
D:Day14.13 You must  now own this dialogue—own it as you own the power that is yours.
D:Day15.13 pool? If not, what prevents you? Do not be too hard on yourself  now, for as has been said, the stones within your pools are like
D:Day15.27 and with all. This fallacy needs to be brought to your attention  now so that as you join in true spaciousness with those coming to
D:Day15.28 becoming self-less but about realizing your true identity. We have  now debunked your myths about your true identity being an idealized
D:Day15.28 myths about your true identity being an idealized form of the self.  Now are you ready, through your ability to view your own Self as well
D:Day16.7 course, a change in what you want to prove to yourself. All you may  now continue to seek proof of is that your feelings, rather than your
D:Day17.3 Why do we return to this  now, repeating what has been said before? Because we have reached the
D:Day17.6 This is why we return  now to your identity and the individuation of your identity.
D:Day17.12 What Jesus represented or demonstrated has  now been realized, which is why this is called the time of Christ.
D:Day17.12 Jesus. What could be taught and learned has been taught and learned.  Now it is time to move beyond what could be taught and learned to
D:Day17.12 and learned to what can only be realized through relationship.  Now is the time of the final revelation of what can be realized, or
D:Day18.1 even while moving into the new as they do so. Each way is as needed  now as it was two thousand years ago.
D:Day18.5 expression of what is within them. They realize that what is needed  now is needed in order to renew or resurrect the world and all who
D:Day18.7 that would aide understanding of the invisible. This is what you are  now called to do. Whether you demonstrate the myth of duality or the
D:Day18.9 that was able to occur to allow for a certain type of experience.  Now a new degree of union is occurring to allow for a new type of
D:Day20.1  Now we begin preparation for your transition to level ground. We
D:Day20.2 You have realized  now your relationship with the unknown and ceased to fear it. You
D:Day20.2 with the unknown and ceased to fear it. You are, perhaps, even eager  now, to move beyond the known to the unknown. You are perhaps eager
D:Day21.4 means, not the source. The source is oneness or union, a state you  now realize that you share and have access to.
D:Day21.6 You realize  now that life itself is a channel and that you are constantly
D:Day21.7  Now, however, there is no longer an “eventually.” Teacher and learner
D:Day21.7 thus neither are needed any longer. The “transfer” of knowledge is  now an act of giving and receiving as one. No intermediary is needed
D:Day21.9 consciousness you share in union and relationship with all. You have  now been told to own this dialogue and to realize that its wisdom is
D:Day22.1 to know yourself as channels without the need for these words.  Now we must speak of this, however, for there is a confusion that can
D:Day22.8 This awareness of union with God is what is  now within you awaiting your expression. Awareness of union with God
D:Day22.8 every blowing wind. It is there in each and every human being. It is  now time to quit acting as if it is not. It is time to be a channel
D:Day22.9 what we have been calling Christ-consciousness, but what you call it  now matters not. All the words that have been expressed here, that
D:Day22.10 through which union with God is expressed and made real here and  now. There is no other time. There is no “higher” self waiting to do
D:Day23.3 today we speak of being a carrier. Your instruction has been given.  Now the task before us is to come to understanding of the means by
D:Day23.4 have gently surrounded our time together on the mountain top must  now be surrendered, much as a woman surrenders her body to the growth
D:Day24.3 trigger of nature. It was meant to convey the action of a catalyst.  Now it is up to you whether you allow your true nature to be revealed.
D:Day25.1 Emptiness of mind will  now be something that may seem to plague many of you. Where once the
D:Day25.1 of you. Where once the mind was searching, yearning, questioning,  now it is likely to become still. From the stillness comes its
D:Day25.7 a time of preparation, not a time of waiting. What you need to know  now cannot be gathered except by your own hands. It cannot be sorted
D:Day26.3  Now let’s speak a moment of the Self as guide. This simply means that
D:Day27.1 Think  now not of being apprehensive in terms of being fearful of the rest
D:Day27.5 This is the quality of the inner-sight you  now will carry with you to level ground because you have practiced
D:Day27.6 and always have been both human and spirit, both form and content.  Now you contain within you the ability to combine both levels of
D:Day27.7  Now you are asked to apprehend—to understand, and to hold within
D:Day27.9 the joint cornerstones for the biggest revelations yet. All that is  now seen as dualistic in nature can be experienced as different
D:Day27.11 health are each just opposite ends of the same continuum, you can  now see that they are only distinguished by degrees of separation. So
D:Day27.16 wholeness, but the experience of separation. What we are speaking of  now is being able to experience wholeness and the variability of
D:Day28.8  Now something new awaits you. It is a choice so different and a means
D:Day28.15 these two attitudes, but will find that one is prevalent. You must  now get past all such notions or attitudes.
D:Day28.17 has been based upon what was previously externalized. This is what  now must change, and as can be seen, this change is essential to
D:Day28.24 within your mind much as if you have been following a thread and  now can see the tapestry. This tapestry will bear the mark of your
D:Day28.26 and the thread of the life from which you have not removed yourself.  Now you must begin to weave these two threads together into the
D:Day29.2 by their seeming separation, the spirit and the human self must  now do so also.
D:Day29.3 or remembered wholehearted desire—the source of your power.  Now this power is available to assist you in accomplishing the final
D:Day29.4 and you can accomplish this—in your reality. As you realize by  now, all this talk of accomplishment is merely about bringing forward
D:Day30.5  Now let us consider this in terms of experience. As knower and known
D:Day34.4 The wholehearted desire that is upon you  now is the desire to know and experience this oneness of being in
D:Day34.5 to leave striving for specialness and differences behind.  Now you need only realize that your wholehearted desire has made it
D:Day34.6 and your experience. This is your life and your experience of life.  Now you must believe that you are its creator and powerful in your
D:Day35.7 an idea of specialness, an idea of accomplishment and union here and  now come to replace all ideas of life after death.
D:Day35.16 for separation produced unawareness of union and relationship.  Now humankind’s desire for union and relationship has led to
D:Day36.5 you created in response to “reality” rather than creating reality.  Now you are called to create reality—a new reality.
D:Day36.6 This is where you begin again. Begin again with the Self you  now know yourself to be.
D:Day36.9 experience. This is starting over with the realization that you are  now the creator of your experience. You have always been creating
D:Day36.9 one in being with God who is endlessly creating. But you are only  now a creator in union and relationship.
D:Day36.12 been given? All the choices in the world save this one before you  now, have made no difference to your state of being. You have just
D:Day36.17 and All in Many. God is still the Creator of All, but God is also  now the Creator of One, the Creator of the experience of one life, or
D:Day36.19 You can see,  now, perhaps, why we have had to build your awareness slowly in order
D:Day37.16 in separation—between your separate self and the separate and  now dead self of the relative. This is not only a relationship in
D:Day37.20  Now let us talk of God.
D:Day38.2 We have not spoken much recently of love, but  now it is time to return to love. Do you know, can you feel as yet,
D:Day38.3  Now we set aside once again the “we” of Christ-consciousness, of our
D:Day38.4 your brief contemplation of these feelings that this is behind us  now. Know that we can be known and loved equally for who we are.
D:Day38.9 You are ready  now to return to this ownership, this possession of relationship and
D:Day38.10 as your own is simply to claim possession for your own Self.  Now it is time to see me as your own God as well as God of all. Now
D:Day38.10 Now it is time to see me as your own God as well as God of all.  Now it is time to call me who I Am.
D:Day39.2 It is time  now to come to your own discovery of who I Am to you. No one can give
D:Day39.9 and individuation requires relationship. Thus you must  now accept yourself as Christ, or as the bridge of relationship
D:Day39.15 What must occur  now must occur between you and me. Your willingness is all that is
D:Day39.34 What memory of I Am will you carry with you  now that you know that I Am is who I am and who you are? What memory
D:Day39.36 Who Am I to you? Only who you are to yourself.  Now it is time for you to be not who you have been to yourself, but
D:Day39.48 wants to be known in time but can only be known in eternity. You  now are the bridge between time and eternity.
D:Day40.8 have known fear and have been forced to reconcile fear with love.  Now, in coming back to relationship and union with me you have
D:Day40.8 and union with me you have realized that you are not separate and  now have striven against the “opposing” force of separation. With the
D:Day40.8 of separation, for you no longer know it. The creative tension that  now remains in our relationship is the tension of individuation or
D:Day40.9 of time. It is creation in the making. What will be created  now, and the individuation that will occur now, will hold all the
D:Day40.9 What will be created now, and the individuation that will occur  now, will hold all the power of your experience as well as all the
D:Day40.12 You have been being separate—a separate being with attributes.  Now you are being in union and relationship—an individuated being
D:Day40.17 You would perhaps beg to differ  now, and ask of me, “Are you not who you are ‘separately’ from
D:Day40.23  Now, as you recognize, acknowledge, and accept the Christ as the Self
D:Day40.25 that I am an individual? That I have feelings?” Are you saying this  now, as you contemplate leaving behind who you have been for being
D:Day40.31 the questions, the longing, the doubts that you would have, before  now, called uniquely yours? Has it not spoken to you as if it knows
D:Day40.32 has spoken to me, and I have responded. Love has responded. How,  now, will you respond to love?
E.1 Ah, imagine  now what it will be like to have nothing left to learn, nothing left
E.1 The alchemy has occurred. The coal has become a diamond. Ah, imagine  now being able to forget all ideas of self-improvement, imagine how
E.1 how much time will be saved by this quest coming to an end. But what  now will you do? What now will you be?
E.1 saved by this quest coming to an end. But what now will you do? What  now will you be?
E.2 they will be entirely gone, never to be asked again. Why? Because  now that you are being who you are in unity and relationship, these
E.3 You are in relationship  now only with love, and so nothing will be hard for you. Desire an
E.13 What you “realize”  now you truly “make real” as your being applies love’s extension to
E.16 cooperative relationship of all with everything abides within you  now. You do not, and cannot decide what to do with it, you can only
E.19 Leave these words behind  now, and bring only the dialogue with you. You will unerringly find
E.20 Do not be afraid  now to be who you are. Do not think you need to be something
E.21 that you would consider character flaws or faults, forget about them  now. In being they will be yours or they will not. You will be happy
E.24 when you meet that which would oppose love, remember that you are  now the bridge between this creative tension of opposites becoming
E.29 Be happy that there is no end in sight to this road you travel  now. It is simply the road of what is endlessly creating like unto
E.30 You  now know how to respond to love, for you are love, being. So be it.
A.9  Now you may feel quite compelled to share your experience of the
A.13 your mind finds difficult to accept, your heart accepts with ease.  Now you are ready to question what you must. Now you are ready to
A.13 accepts with ease. Now you are ready to question what you must.  Now you are ready to hear the answer that arises in your own heart or
A.13 own heart or from the voice of the man or woman sitting next to you.  Now you are ready to hear all the voices around you without judgment,
A.13 so anxious to say what you are thinking that you forget to listen.  Now you are ready to let understanding come without the

A.26 has extended beyond reading and beyond the classroom situation.  Now a time may come when studying truly seems to be in order. The
A.27 than being in a standard learning situation, what the reader who is  now experiencing life in a new way is doing is attempting to
