C:8.26 can think of at least one long remembered incident that when  given to the light of truth revealed a lie of outlandish proportions.
C:8.27 and yet the details mask the truth so thoroughly that all truth is  given over to illusion.
C:9.16 Fear, like all the rest of your emotions, comes in many guises and is  given many names, but there are really only two emotions: one is
C:9.41 be like you.” To these you look for a vicarious fulfillment, having  given up any hope for real fulfillment. Here you are entertained,
C:10.9 than your brother. You will stay until you realize that God has  given everything already to everyone.
C:11.1 that you do not really desire it. What you desire is what cannot be  given from anywhere but your own Source. Again you realize this
C:11.9 as all you have that God cannot take away from you, you have not yet  given up its protection. It does not matter to you that it is insane
C:11.9 It does not matter to you that it is insane to think that He who has  given you everything seeks to take anything away from you. While you
C:11.9 blame Him for others. Yes, perhaps this God you think you know has  given you everything, but He can also take it all away, and in the
C:11.15 is it that you are asked to give? It can come in many manners and be  given many forms. It can be called a willingness to change your mind,
C:14.19 in their design, and dress it up to look like sacrifice and gifts  given, but all with the same purpose in mind. What none realize is
C:14.21 yet the greatest fear of all is that of loss of love. You who have  given everything to be alone and separate fear most of all that which
C:14.21 to be alone and separate fear most of all that which you have  given everything to attain. For what is loss of love but confirmation
C:16.7 Judgment is the function the separated mind has  given itself. This is where all of its energy is expended, for
C:16.21 make those in authority powerful. While you want those you have  given power to protect you, you also fear them, and they in turn fear
C:16.21 who is not is not determined by might or any authority that can be  given and taken away. Power is possessed by those who claim it. By
C:16.24 You give away your power and then bow down to those whom you have  given it to, for you are afraid of nothing more than your own power.
C:17.9 Receiving implies that something is being  given. Receiving implies a willingness to accept what is given. This
C:17.9 is being given. Receiving implies a willingness to accept what is  given. This willingness is what you do not offer. Yet this is due to
C:17.14 Love’s gifts are gifts of creation or extension, gifts you have both  given and received. Each act of love is added to the space in the
C:17.17 it has allowed me to address the different functions you have  given them.
C:18.6 then you can begin to see it as what it is, a learning device  given you by a loving creator. Before the idea of separation, there
C:20.3 mother, nameless and beyond naming. No “I” resides here. You have  given up the vision of your eyes and the “I” of your ego. You are

C:20.35 hope to have moments of clarity concerning what you are doing in a  given moment, what you have done, what you hope to do in the future.
C:20.40 and the rain falls on the good and evil alike. All gifts of God are  given equally and distributed equally. It is your belief that this is

C:20.41 What you each have been  given is that which will serve your purpose. You could have no more
C:20.45 are welcome to all the gifts of the universe and that they can be  given, through you, to others as well. It implies willingness rather
C:22.9 as one of assigning meaning to that which intersects with you in a  given way that you deem as purposeful. Yet it is in the passing
C:22.19 without the “I.” Yet this you must learn to do, and this task is  given you as an exercise.
C:23.18 you. The ability to imagine is such a capability, freely and equally  given to all. Imagination is linked to true vision, for it exercises
C:23.21 You then can move forward again, taking form beyond its  given parameters and becoming a miracle worker.
C:23.23 of unlearning you may feel tested. You are not being tested but  given opportunities for unlearning. To learn that a previously held
C:25.11 continues, all special relationships continue because they are  given validity. The holy relationship of unity depends on the release
C:26.3 in the life of the tragic hero, excluding those who are posthumously  given such a title, the tragedy is most often considered a fall from

C:28.11 of an impending challenge to action, of some necessary form to be  given to what you carry within.
C:29.1 for focus and readiness and a request for service that can only be  given in the present by a mind and heart available to the
C:29.17 relationship, as the nature of relationship is joy. Once you have  given up your belief in separation this will be known to you.
C:29.25 to understand the reciprocal nature of giftedness? That what God has  given only needs to be received? That what you have received only
C:29.25 needs to be received? That what you have received only needs to be  given? The indivisibleness of God is simply this: an unbroken chain
C:29.26 the future and the past is but a worry about the return of gifts  given. What gift of opportunity did you not accept in the past, might
C:30.2 your Self, for some purpose other than your Self. Thus was service  given another route for being separated from the Self and your
C:30.9 to have traveled far from words of love, words promised and words  given in truth. For no love is finite in nature. Love has no
C:30.13 made in God’s own image, as was all creation. You are God’s image  given form, as is all creation. We, all of us together, are the
C:31.5 fear of oneness, and it is an unfounded fear, though understandable  given your concept of what is the same and what is different. Yet, as
C:31.11 and lower thoughts, you have aggrandized all your thoughts and  given them an identity we have called the ego. Without dislodging
C:32.3 Thus we end this Course with love  given and love received in truth. You are the learner here until you
T1:2.3 but here is where it lies. It is yours to give and can only be  given to love from love. Only in giving is it received.
T1:2.7 in this training of the ego-mind worldly rewards have long been  given. These people attain degrees and skills and then further apply
T1:2.15 The second part is its reception. A gift has been  given. What is your response?
T1:2.19 the call for a response, and the nature of all gifts as being  given to all.
T1:4.6 the call for a response, and the nature of all gifts as being  given to all. This is thus a call to realize that you exist in
T1:4.6 that your relationship calls for a response, and that you are  given to all as all are given to you.
T1:4.6 calls for a response, and that you are given to all as all are  given to you.
T1:4.13 implies needs that would not be met without you. Response is  given and thus genuine. It is a natural act of giving and receiving
T1:4.16 pure appreciation and love. It is always available. It is the gift  given in everything you look upon and see without the obstacle of the
T1:4.19 who have thought that your interpretation of events and feelings has  given them their meaning—think again. Their meaning exists already
T1:7.2 on the other hand there is light. One or the other must exist at a  given time, but never both. Thus the absence of good health is
T1:8.5 my resurrection rather than upon my birth. This will seem confusing  given your definition of incarnation as the Word made flesh. You took
T1:9.9 As I awaited my death I was  given the gift of knowing what would come to be through my
T1:10.2 My peace is yours. You have asked for it and it has been  given to you. To not have it, you will have to choose not to have it.
T1:10.3 and how often have you been fully engaged in it? How often have you  given yourself over to those highs and lows? You will be tempted to
T1:10.15 is here. You who have found peace—live in peace. You have been  given the Peace of God—go in Peace. Spread peace throughout the
T2:1.9 may have once identified as hoping to develop into abilities, are  given a structure and form in your thinking of them. A desire to
T2:2.7 of following such a call, seek for proof they have already been  given. The call itself is proof. It is proof of the heart’s ability
T2:3.4 the truth that it is the Christ in you that learns may have been  given little attention as you began your learning, it cannot now be
T2:4.8 obligation. One set of thoughts recognizes that something has been  given. The other set recognizes that something has been asked. The
T2:5.1 demands. All call you to the present where response is able to be  given. All call you “back” to who you are.
T2:6.6 Accomplishment is not an end point but a  given. It is not an outcome but a certainty. It says I am rather than
T2:7.10 Here is an idea not heretofore  given much attention, the idea of the desire for change. Certainly
T2:11.4 your perception of your body as your identity and your home has  given way to an idea of it as a form that can be of service to you
T2:11.4 there is no service the ego can do you. The ego is the one untruth,  given many names and many faces and the only thing given by you the
T2:11.4 the one untruth, given many names and many faces and the only thing  given by you the power to do battle with the truth, or with God.
T2:11.14 forever and foremost in your mind. Here, that relationship has been  given a name, as we have given your relationship with your separate
T2:11.14 your mind. Here, that relationship has been given a name, as we have  given your relationship with your separate identity the name of ego.
T2:13.5 between us now. The light of heaven shines not down upon you but is  given and received in equal exchange by all who in creation exist
T3:1.6 You who have spent most of your life representing the ego have but  given a face to illusion and made it seem real. When I say that you
T3:2.11 not been a reason for you to do so? Realize that a reason has been  given here and that this reason, while perfectly believable, is not
T3:5.6 much in evidence, was how mighty could God’s love be if it were  given to a people who suffered. The answer was that God’s love was so
T3:5.7 of sacrifice but one of gift giving. The greatest gift of all was  given, the gift of redemption. The gift of redemption was the gift of
T3:5.7 one true Self, the one true son of God. The gift of redemption was  given once and for all. It is the gift of restoration to original
T3:6.1 you do is based upon desire for reward. This is your desire to be  given to in return for what you give. This stems from your idea of
T3:6.3 to comparison as well, as lack of reward in one instance and reward  given in another, is the cause of much of the bitterness that exists
T3:6.4 the process of learning that your Self is not vengeful. The ego has  given you many reasons to be distrustful of your Self, beginning with
T3:8.6 the history, both ancient and recent, that you think you would have  given anything to change? Do you look upon the ill and blame them for
T3:9.3 you will find yourself gently corrected and when this correction is  given you will not doubt it but will remember that it is the truth
T3:10.1 Now we must talk about forgetting. While nothing need be  given up to enter the House of Truth, or to encounter the truth, you
T3:10.3 others and your inclination to place blame upon yourself must be  given up as well. When it is said that you are the cause it is not
T3:10.9 The thoughts of the ego-mind will come as disguises to certainty.  Given just a little practice, these disguises will be easily seen
T3:20.6 are surely seen as being worse than others—encouragement is  given despite the “fact” that it is unwarranted. Yet even while you
T3:20.7 or able to cause effect. You can’t imagine not feeling “bad”  given such circumstances. You cannot imagine not offering sympathy.
T3:20.17 and have no willingness to offer. Just know these aren’t the ones  given you to bring to love and trust that none will remain forever
T3:21.15 you feel you have chosen to be within that world. Whether you have  given thought to the interconnection of these ideas you hold about
T3:22.8 Plans will only interfere with your response to what you are  given to observe. The act of observation that you are able to do with
T4:1.7 An elementary example might be useful. In many countries, all are  given the opportunity to go to school. This might be as easily stated
T4:1.21 can be learned from this state of consciousness and that you have  given your willingness to learn in a new way. The new way is here. If
T4:2.11 there will be a second and a third. That attention and respect is  given to those who first achieve anything of merit is but a way of
T4:5.3 one body through Christ-consciousness. The one body is one energy  given many expressions in form. The same life-force courses through
T4:5.11 eyes were unable to see, the glory of your true nature. You are  given the chance, just as you are being given the chance now, to
T4:5.11 of your true nature. 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 the time of the intermediary and to begin to learn directly, you are  given the same opportunity that was formerly reserved for you only
T4:12.8 nature of this dialogue is that it exists in unity. It is  given and received in unity. Intermediary steps were needed only for
T4:12.36 to embrace the new. But also make no mistake that what is  given to us is everything. All the power of creation is released onto
D:1.17 of the separated self’s return to unity. These lessons have been  given. They can be reviewed and reviewed again. They can be used as
D:3.7 now through surrender, an active and total acceptance of what is  given.
D:3.15 form, are a continual representation of what is continuously being  given and received, what is continuously being shared. You are a
D:3.15 representation of the truth. You are a representation of all that is  given and received in truth. You are a representation of creation. A
D:3.23 create the new is available within you. The power of the universe is  given and received constantly in support of the creation of the new.
D:4.6 are the actual prison systems that developed when shape and form was  given to what you fear and what you believe will protect you.
D:4.16 seen as a system in and of itself. It is thought externalized and  given an identity you but falsely believed to be yourself. From this
D:4.18 we are left with is divine design. All we are left with is what was  given: A divine universe, a divine existence. That divine universe,
D:4.24 of giving and receiving as one. Let the authority of the new be  given and received. Become the author of your own life. Live it as
D:4.29 You accept that what has been  given is available. You accept and you receive. You realize that the
D:5.7 you do represent your drives, but they simply represent what was  given to help you remember and return to who you truly are.
D:5.10 have thought of as inconsequential in the light of truth. Everything  given represents the truth.
D:5.11 much misinterpretation and misrepresentation. Acceptance of what is  given is acceptance of what is given. All was given to you to remind
D:5.11 Acceptance of what is given is acceptance of what is  given. All was given to you to remind you of who you are in the time
D:5.11 Acceptance of what is given is acceptance of what is given. All was  given to you to remind you of who you are in the time of learning
D:5.11 are in the time of learning that is now passing away. Thus all was  given to you to represent what is rather than to be what is. Now, as
D:5.12 Love and the loving patterns  given in the time of learning are all that exist in all you see. But
D:6.4 as the false representation of the ego as the self, the body,  given your choice to return to who you truly are while still in form,
D:6.13 the “truth,” as you should bless them for the certainty they have  given you in an uncertain world. Even if it has been a false
D:6.18 will suffice. These modes of behavior concerning the body were  given to teach and to represent. What you have done is turn them into
D:6.20 all the systems you believe in, it is a system too, an internal idea  given a name, externalized, and blamed for all that you do not
D:6.22 Let us return now to the beginning and start with the body as a  given. It is what it is in terms of flesh and bone, and it is also
D:6.23 design of the joining provided through sexual intercourse—a design  given to lead the way to desire for oneness and completion.
D:6.26 the embodiment of love, the embodiment of divinity. Its existence is  given as it was always given. But now the very nature of its
D:6.26 the embodiment of divinity. Its existence is given as it was always  given. But now the very nature of its existence has changed. I say
D:8.2 to be the “best” despite your natural talent or ability, and have  given up “working hard” to be the best. Others who have achieved the
D:8.4 has always known this ability was a “given.” That you are gifted—  given to—and able to receive. And despite what science might have
D:8.7 from which to start building your awareness of what is available or  given—of what is but awaiting your discovery and conscious
D:8.10 ability or talent you did not have to learn, to that which was  given and available just a step beyond where the separated self could
D:8.12 the place of wholeness. The natural ability that you recognize as a  given and unlearned aspect of your Self is the doorway. Step through
D:9.12 that exist apart from learning. Ideas “come to you.” They are  given and received. They are surprising and pleasing in nature. You
D:10.3 accomplished state of these givens that allows expression of what is  given to truly come through you and express the Self, because joyous
D:10.5 You are called to realize your relationship with what is  given from unity. It is in that relationship, the relationship
D:10.6 with personal or individual understanding or experience of what is  given is to not complete the cycle of giving and receiving as one.
D:10.6 is to not complete the cycle of giving and receiving as one. What is  given must be received. What is received must be given. This is the
D:10.6 as one. What is given must be received. What is received must be  given. This is the way of increase and multiplication. This is the
D:11.8 for if you can fully accept the way in which these words have been  given and received, you will see that you can fully accept the way of
D:11.13 of spirit, from the shared consciousness from which these words are  given and received.
D:12.16 or of something that has not yet occurred but that you are  given the certainty to know will occur. But once you have felt this
D:13.5 is whole. Therefore the knowing that will be coming to you will be  given in a state of wholeness. You have previously learned of
D:13.11 or union, in other words, precedes the sharing of what can only be  given and received in relationship.
D:14.4 Let me remind you again of your invulnerability and the cautions  given within this Course concerning testing this invulnerability. In
D:16.8 Love, like God, like Creation, is the giver of the givens. Life was  given through the extension and the expression of God, of Love, of
D:16.11 occur in unison or in union. Becoming is movement. Movement is  given and becomes movement in form. Being is given and becomes being
D:16.11 movement. Movement is given and becomes movement in form. Being is  given and becomes being in form. Expression is given and becomes
D:16.11 in form. Being is given and becomes being in form. Expression is  given and becomes expression in form. Since you were conceived in
D:Day1.9 space. This would be akin to non-acceptance of the way that has been  given to bring your desire to fruition. The spacecraft could be seen
D:Day3.9 life and thus a life of limits of which you are more accepting. But  given time to consider such an idea, you are likely to become more
D:Day3.40 had, that the knowing of unity is available to you. You may not have  given great consideration to the access through which that
D:Day3.57 active function? Acceptance is an active function. It is something  given you to do. You think it is difficult, but it is only difficult
D:Day4.3 are the only choices that have been known to you? Thus you must be  given the opportunity here to see what other choices might be before
D:Day4.6 The divine design of learning was a  given and a natural part of you, much like breathing. You have no
D:Day4.8 And yet 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,
D:Day4.8 Learning was designed, like the intake of breath, to be taken in and  given out. Inhaled and exhaled. Inhaled and expressed.
D:Day4.9 The ability to learn is  given to all in like measure. The conformity of learning, however, is
D:Day5.8 Thus, access too is the same. It exists. It is there for you. It is  given. It cannot be denied unless you deny it. It is only because you
D:Day5.11 and love and that difference would seem to be love’s ability to be  given away.
D:Day5.12 unity is known through its effects. All the benefits of union can be  given away to any willing to receive.
D:Day5.17 desires are, and where your talents have been recognized, are as  given as the goal you now desire to realize. Again I remind you that
D:Day5.20 you and apply no effort to what you read here. Just accept what is  given. All that is being given is the helpful hints you have desired
D:Day5.20 to what you read here. Just accept what is given. All that is being  given is the helpful hints you have desired from an older brother who
D:Day5.22 as translated by the ego, was about turning everything that was  given into what “you” could only work hard to attain, and thereby
D:Day5.22 while it remains, you will not realize full access to what you are  given. We are speaking here of letting your form serve union and
D:Day6.27 As your belief grows in our ability to accomplish together our  given task, you are almost surely feeling this devotion extend to
D:Day7.2 is degenerating. Nothing about fear is life giving. You thus were  given life only to have it become degenerated by fear.
D:Day7.12 in a state of grace, meeting grace with grace by accepting what is  given for your regeneration.
D:Day7.18 concerned about now is the present. It is here, in this present and  given time on the mountain that you must realize that the conditions
D:Day9.25 to release the beauty of expression in all its forms. You have a  given form that is perfect for your expression of the beauty and
D:Day13.4 love of God. There is no other love. God’s love is constantly being  given, received, and felt in relationship. God’s love is your love.
D:Day14.6 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 within
D:Day15.25 not exclude while also making choices about where your attention is  given. Just as you respect the boundaries of those who are still in
D:Day17.2 masculine, the “identity” of God, or in other words, the All of All  given an identity. God holds you within Himself. Christ is held
D:Day17.8 is superfluous, but only of the necessary in the sense that all the  given components are necessary for wholeness. Representation of the
D:Day18.5 for in their renewal they fully realize the necessity of what can be  given only through expression of what is within them. They realize
D:Day19.16 circles existing in support and harmony with one another. As those  given specific functions fulfill those functions, they move naturally
D:Day21.6 perhaps think in terms of receiving meaning that there is something  given from a source beyond the self, but this is the “thought” that
D:Day21.7 self where it is learned and then regurgitated or even applied, has  given way to an interaction that begins within and extends outward.
D:Day22.2 as simply an idea of expressing, but an idea of expression that is  given and received, received and given. When the word channeling has
D:Day22.2 but an idea of expression that is given and received, received and  given. When the word channeling has been used in reference to
D:Day23.1 dialogue is meant to give you the means to carry what you have been  given.
D:Day23.2 her child, this is how you are meant to carry what you have been  given. What you have been given is meant to accompany you, propel
D:Day23.2 you are meant to carry what you have been given. What you have been  given is meant to accompany you, propel you, and be supported by you.
D:Day23.2 be supported by you. You are not separate from what you have been  given, and you do carry what you have received within you.
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
D:Day23.3 of the means by which you will carry what you have been  given down from the mountain and onto level ground, the ground of the
D:Day32.18 of holy relationship? Could not the instructions that you have been  given—such as those of access to unity, and becoming a spacious
D:Day33.7 as who you are. You have been told that these words are being  given to you so that you do not respond to love in the same way
D:Day36.5 the people you met. You started with what you believed you had been  given, the self that you saw yourself to be—the self you considered
D:Day36.7 When you start over, knowing that what you have been  given is everything, your creatorship of your experience is a totally
D:Day36.12 As a simple being doing your best to live the life you’ve been  given? All the choices in the world save this one before you now,
D:Day36.17 God remains God who is one in being with all, and God also is  given form, or is, in other words, differentiated. God is All in All.
D:Day39.35 has no attributes. Love is creation’s genesis, the unattributable  given the attributes of form.
D:Day40.4 love—only when love is in relationship with being—that love is  given its nature. Realize that it is only when love is in
A.49 This is all that is asked of you. This is the gift you have been  given and the gift you bring the world: your own voice, the voice of

givens (18)

D:10.2 they can hinder as well as enhance the creative expression of these  givens.
D:10.3 You think that the use you put these  givens to, what you do with them, how you express them in the world,
D:10.3 your effort and struggle, that bring the expression of these  givens forward, you think in error and limit your expression in much
D:10.3 is your joyous acceptance of the already accomplished state of these  givens that allows expression of what is given to truly come through
D:10.4 Now you might be thinking, here, that while these  givens come from the realm of unity, your expression of these givens,
D:10.4 these givens come from the realm of unity, your expression of these  givens, since that expression exists in the realm of time and space
D:16.8 being, and expression are also what is because they are the  givens. Love, like God, like Creation, is the giver of the givens.
D:16.8 are the givens. Love, like God, like Creation, is the giver of the  givens. Life was given through the extension and the expression of
D:Day3.11 ideas. You do not, however, see that these are in truth linked as  givens, for you do not see that all are gifted.
D:Day3.12 some are gifted more abundantly than others that they can use the  givens of talent and inspired ideas to bring them wealth. This is the
D:Day5.5 these feelings or others that I have not named. Just consider them  givens and choose what feels most natural to you as a focal point for
D:Day5.24 Each gain from unity will only, in this way, be seen as the new  givens come to replace learning.
D:Day9.25 but your “differences?” Have we not spoken of these differences as  givens, as gifts? These are not just the givens of talents or
D:Day9.25 of these differences as givens, as gifts? These are not just the  givens of talents or inspired ideas, but all the givens that combined
D:Day9.25 are not just the givens of talents or inspired ideas, but all the  givens that combined create the wholeness and the holiness of who you

T1:8.2 in form, of the Will of God. Thus too have you been. God is the  giver of life, thus life is God’s Will. But with my resurrection,
T1:9.6 This is because, in your version of creation, there needed to be a  giver and a receiver. You knew that giving and receiving makes one in
T1:9.8 act of giving and receiving? In this birth of the Self, who is the  giver and who is the receiver? In order for the Self to be birthed,
D:3.16 As the Self, you are  giver and receiver. Your Self is a full participant in this dialogue.
D:11.2 to see me as a lecturer, or even as a great teacher? Am I but a  giver of information from whom another is capable of taking notes?
D:16.8 because they are the givens. Love, like God, like Creation, is the  giver of the givens. Life was given through the extension and the
D:Day21.2 or a parent or a friend—to a student, or in other words, from a  giver to a receiver.

T2:7.20 The recognition that  giving and receiving occur as one is a precondition for your

D:3.23 new. This is what creation is! The entire universe, the All of All,  giving and receiving as one. This is our power. And our power is

D:Day5.13 felt you “have” love to give. You thus have long known the truth of  giving and receiving as one within your own heart. You might think of
D:Day7.2 emotion of fear. Fear is degenerating. Nothing about fear is life  giving. You thus were given life only to have it become degenerated
D:Day7.3 longer denying unity. You have replaced fear with love. Love is life  giving and life supporting. There is thus nothing now degenerating
D:Day10.3 As with the states of maintenance and sustainability, I am  giving you cause for movement, the effect of which will be the

C:2.11 You have defined it unlike the compassion of God. To believe  God looks upon misery and responds with sympathy and concern and does
C:2.11 sympathy and concern and does not end the misery is to believe in a  God who is compassionate as you are compassionate. You think you
C:2.11 and yet you could no more end misery by making it real than could  God. There is no magic here of turning misery into delight and pain
C:2.12 To be compassionate as  God is compassionate is to see as God sees. Again, I stress to you,
C:2.12 To be compassionate as God is compassionate is to see as  God sees. Again, I stress to you, this is not about looking upon

C:2.13 sense than it did before. In this scenario a benevolent and loving  God who has extended His being into the creation of the universe has
C:2.15 in you who knows the way. Christ is within you and you rest within  God. I vowed to never leave you and to never leave you comfortless.
C:3.2 It is you. Imagine the ocean or the cheetah, the sun or the moon or  God Himself, attempting to learn what they are. They are the same as
C:3.4 You are not form, nor is your real world. You seek the face of  God in form as you seek for love in form. Both love and God are
C:3.4 the face of God in form as you seek for love in form. Both love and  God are there, but they are not the form that your body’s eyes see.
C:3.4 those you see and those you only can imagine. To seek the “face” of  God, even in the form of Christ, is to seek for what is forever
C:3.6 will find the Christ who abides in you. In Jesus Christ, the Son of  God became the son of man. He walked the world with a face much like

C:4.6 Child of  God, you are alien here but need not be alien to your Self. In your
C:4.9 Love is all that follows the law of  God in your world. All else assumes that what one has is denied

C:5.4 is impossible without God. God is union. Is this not like saying  God is Love? Love is impossible without union. The same is true of
C:5.4 Love is impossible without union. The same is true of relationship.  God creates all relationship. When you think of relationship, you
C:5.22 this desire to be separate and alone. Your entire resistance to  God is based on this. You think you have chosen to be separate from
C:5.22 God is based on this. You think you have chosen to be separate from  God so that you can make it on your own, and while you long to return
C:5.22 so that you can make it on your own, and while you long to return to  God and the heaven that is your home, you do not want to admit that
C:5.22 your efforts are futile. You cling to effort as if it is the way to  God, not wanting to believe all effort is in vain or that a simple
C:5.26 Give up what you want? This is surely what you have expected  God to ask of you and what you have spent your lifetime guarding
C:5.29 on your own. Union is all that you invite me into and share with  God. You cannot be alone nor without your Father, yet your invitation
C:5.30  God is known to you within relationships, as this is all that is real
C:5.30 known to you within relationships, as this is all that is real here.  God cannot be seen in illusion nor known to those who fear him. All

C:6.1 it is. Reality, the truly real, is relationship. You must forgive  God for creating a world in which you cannot be alone. You must

C:6.4 different than I. We are all the same because we are not separate.  God created the universe as an interrelated whole. That the universe
C:6.15 golden calves did so because they knew of no other choice. A  god of love was as foreign a concept to them as is a life of peace to
C:6.19 still be what it is: home to God’s beloved son and dwelling place of  God Himself? It is because God is not separate from anything that you
C:6.19 God’s beloved son and dwelling place of God Himself? It is because  God is not separate from anything that you cannot be. It is because
C:6.19 God is not separate from anything that you cannot be. It is because  God is not separate from anything that heaven is where you are. It is
C:6.19 separate from anything that heaven is where you are. It is because  God is love that all your relationships are holy, and from them you

C:6.22 has not changed what is nor will it ever succeed in doing so. Only  God and His appointed helpers can lead you from this self-deception
C:7.2 and you cannot receive a piece of heaven nor know a piece of  God or your own Self. Your giving must be total for you to receive in

C:8.24 is to see its reality. To see this reality is to see the image of  God you have created in God’s likeness. This image is based on your
C:8.25 to it. There are but two thought systems: the thought system of  God, and the thought system of the ego or the separated self. The
C:8.25 separated self sees everything in separation. The thought system of  God sees everything in unity. God’s thought system is one of

C:9.34 is like unto your banker rather than your Father. You would prove to  God that you can “make a go of it” before you would ask Him for His
C:9.46 that this is your misguided attempt to follow in creation’s way.  God gave all power to his creations, and you would choose to do this
C:9.46 self. As much as you have desired anonymity and autonomy from  God, still you blame God for creating a situation in which you think
C:9.46 as you have desired anonymity and autonomy from God, still you blame  God for creating a situation in which you think you have been allowed
C:9.46 in which you think you have been allowed to hurt yourself. How could  God allow all this suffering, you ask? Why does He tempt you with
C:9.46 such destructive forces? Forces beyond your control? Why did not  God create a world benign and unable to harm you?
C:9.47 Such is the world that  God did create: A world so lovely and so peaceful that when you see
C:9.47 out clearly here, and never again will you doubt that the world that  God created belongs to you and you to it.

C:10.10 stage and to the next. Be encouraged rather than discouraged that  God does not grant all your desires here. For these are not yet your
C:10.12 Belief is not your problem. Understanding is. While you believe in  God, you do not understand God. While you believe in me, you do not
C:10.12 Understanding is. While you believe in God, you do not understand  God. While you believe in me, you do not understand how these words
C:10.12 about what you believe. The convenient thing about your belief in  God, in me, in heaven and in an afterlife is that you do not think
C:10.13 with your brothers and sisters, right now, today. To believe in  God without understanding God is one thing. To believe in your union
C:10.13 sisters, right now, today. To believe in God without understanding  God is one thing. To believe in your union with your neighbor without
C:10.14 walk around within it is something quite different than believing in  God. Here all the proof available would say that you are wrong. All
C:10.15 the earth I was a body, or do you believe that I was the Son of  God before I was born into human form, during the time I existed in
C:10.17 is always involved before the fact. Nothing happens to the Son of  God by accident. This observation will help to put the responsibility
C:11.8 the separation possible. You regard it as your one protection from  God, the one thing that allows you to be other than what God would
C:11.8 from God, the one thing that allows you to be other than what  God would have you be. It is your “God given” right of independence,
C:11.9 To think you must protect anything from  God is insane, and you know that this is so. But because you view
C:11.9 that this is so. But because you view free will as all you have that  God cannot take away from you, you have not yet given up its
C:11.9 you still view yourself as a body, you cannot help but think of  God as a vengeful God whose final vengeance is your own death. While
C:11.9 yourself as a body, you cannot help but think of God as a vengeful  God whose final vengeance is your own death. While you still think of
C:11.9 to Him for some things and blame Him for others. Yes, perhaps this  God you think you know has given you everything, but He can also take
C:11.9 for a life of evil. He might accept you back, but He might not. A  God such as this would seem to have little faith in you and to
C:11.10 And so you give to  God a little faith and cherish your free will, the true god of the
C:11.10 you give to God a little faith and cherish your free will, the true  god of the separated self. You think at times that this was God’s
C:11.10 perception of your free will is of its power. No matter what  God wants of you, you can use your free will to rebel and to make
C:11.10 to make your own decisions, and the power to flaunt them before  God, is all that makes your little separated self feel powerful at
C:11.11 see that what you choose to do with your free will matters not to  God at all, for what you have chosen to use it for is the one thing
C:11.14  God will never wrestle your free will from you, or fight battles to
C:12.4 yourself. Yet you must understand that nothing that is not part of  God is worthy of joining, nor can join with you. What you have sought
C:12.12 creation’s paradise still exists, but nowhere can you find the being  God created in His image.
C:12.23 mean to those who did not believe in separation? Do you believe that  God believes in separation? He knows it not, and because He knows it
C:12.24 benevolent and kind, or just another name for love, but such it is.  God is but creation’s starting point, the creator of creation and yet
C:12.24 Spirit, like unto Creation, proceeded from the starting point of  God. God is the Son and Holy Spirit’s starting point as well, the
C:12.24 like unto Creation, proceeded from the starting point of God.  God is the Son and Holy Spirit’s starting point as well, the Creator
C:14.4 your death would prove the victor. For if after death your creator  God provided you with a paradise not of this world, a separate place
C:14.6 such as this and still believe in it, then you must believe in a  god who is insane. You—who pride yourself on reason and
C:14.7 You who have made a  god of reason and of intellect, think carefully now of what your

C:27.10 lies in relationship, can you be other than relationship itself? Can  God? Can you imagine relationship rather than singular objects and
C:27.10 objects and bodies, as all that exists, and thus who you are and who  God is? Is it such a huge leap to go from saying you only exist in
C:27.21 whether or not you trust. Do you trust these words? Do you trust in  God? Can you trust in your Self?
C:29.3 have no notion, as did people of the past, of being of service to  God. This is a symptom of the reign of the ego and its ability to
C:29.3 your notion of yourself, and to minimize it. To be of service to  God is not to be a slave to God but to attend to God. To give God
C:29.3 and to minimize it. To be of service to God is not to be a slave to  God but to attend to God. To give God your attention and your care.

C:29.6 If  God were to speak to you Himself and tell you of what means your
C:29.6 would be to Him, He would but tell you this: My child, return to me.  God has no Will apart from yours. Your return to unity is all God
C:29.6 to me. God has no Will apart from yours. Your return to unity is all  God seeks for you, for Himself, and for all His children. The return
C:29.9 with the colors of life. Life, not death, assures your approach.  God Himself will guide your entry.
C:29.10 as your Father’s work is his service to you. As you cannot imagine  God toiling, so you should cease to imagine your Self doing thus.

C:29.15 Life is service to God.  God is service to life. You are God in life. Thus you are both life
C:29.15 Life is service to God. God is service to life. You are  God in life. Thus you are both life and service to life, both God and

C:29.15 Thus you are both life and service to life, both God and service to  God. All of the vast universe was created the same: to live and to

C:29.15 same: to live and to serve life, to be of God and be of service to  God. To be served and to serve. To be provided for and to provide. To

C:29.25 come to understand the reciprocal nature of giftedness? That what  God has given only needs to be received? That what you have received
C:29.25 you have received only needs to be given? The indivisibleness of  God is simply this: an unbroken chain of giving and receiving. Thus
C:30.7 identity of the Self no longer lives in a dualistic position with  God, but in a monistic state with Him. The difference is in realizing
C:30.10 All relationship is relationship with  God Who Is Love.
C:30.11 existence because you have made it ruler by abandoning the laws of  God.
C:30.12 The laws of  God are laws of Love. Within the laws of love there is no loss, but
C:30.13 world. Without unity we would not be. Without our Source, which is  God, we would not be.
C:30.14 do not change, and thus the laws of man have not usurped the laws of  God. It is only in your perception that the laws of man take
C:30.14 perception that the laws of man take precedence over the laws of  God. Since perception arises from the mind, we must now discuss the
C:31.9 this point, yet you allow yourself to resist the whole idea of  God because you believe that what is one cannot also be many.
C:31.10 Give up this notion of losing your Self to  God, and you will be done for all time with resisting God. Only in
C:31.10 your Self to God, and you will be done for all time with resisting  God. Only in God can you find your Self. This is known to you, and is
C:31.10 God, and you will be done for all time with resisting God. Only in  God can you find your Self. This is known to you, and is the reason

C:31.10 man’s quest for God throughout all time. Man may think he looks to  God for answers, for release from pain, for reward, or for an
C:31.10 pain, for reward, or for an afterlife. But man has always looked to  God for his own Self. Not looking to God to find your Self would be
C:31.10 But man has always looked to God for his own Self. Not looking to  God to find your Self would be akin to searching everywhere but the
C:31.28 Just as you look to  God for your Self, knowing not what it is you seek, so too do you
C:32.6 end all need of miracles, the only accomplishment of the only Son of  God. For what your heart has shared with your mind is shared with all
T1:1.10 is what it is to create, for this is what it is like to think as  God thinks.” Where once you recognized only illusion and called it
T1:2.4 the answer of the Created to the Creator, the answer of the Self to  God.
T1:2.10 higher order that will reveal its laws to you. These are the laws of  God or the laws of love.
T1:2.11 The laws of  God or the laws of love can be summarized by the simple statement of
T1:2.14 The sunset is a gift of  God. It is what it is. This is the first part of this example.
T1:2.21 To experience what is and to acknowledge what is as being a gift of  God is to be present as a divine being having a human experience. No
T1:3.17 stems from your belief that you are “only” human. You are not  God. You are not a holy person. Thus miracles should not flow through
T1:3.20 Fourth, you might balk at the suggestion that  God would grant miracles on such a whim, such a fanciful idea as that
T1:3.20 Even were you to possess such power, surely it is a power that is of  God and needs not you for its accomplishment. Better not to mess with
T1:4.4 of the Creator. Recall the sunset. Are you any less the glory of  God than the sun? This is a call to be as aware of your Self as you
T1:4.9 Your responsibilities shift completely under the laws of  God. Your thoughts are released from their concentration on what
T1:4.11 sprang from the ego-mind that would usurp the power of  God. What kind of gift arrives with a demand for the receiver to be
T1:4.14 Is this not the kind of thinking that has caused you to blame  God for what you have labeled “bad” as well as to praise God for what
T1:4.14 to blame God for what you have labeled “bad” as well as to praise  God for what you have labeled “good”? Would not this kind of a
T1:4.24 Revelation is direct communication with  God in the sense that it is direct communication from a Self you have
T1:4.26 expand upon this thought, for doubt about your Self is doubt about  God. While God is nothing but the Source of Love, you have, in your
T1:4.26 this 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
T1:4.26 is nothing but the Source of Love, you have, in your doubt, made of  God the source of fear. Pause a moment here and let the enormity of
T1:4.27 of fear. A Course in Miracles told you that awe is the providence of  God and not due miracles or any other thing or being. I bring up this
T1:4.27 as human being. From time immemorial, fear has been associated with  God. This was the thinking I came to reverse. While I succeeded in
T1:4.27 was the thinking I came to reverse. While I succeeded in revealing a  God of love, this revelation has not been reconciled with your
T1:5.1 Why, when a  God of Love was revealed so long ago and in so many times and in so
T1:5.1 forms since then that they remain forever countless, has fear of  God remained? The only answer possible is because fear of the Self
T1:5.5 This fear of all and nothingness is fear of  God, fear of Life, fear of Creation, fear of Self. For there is only
T1:5.14 Wholeheartedness will aid you in reconciling the laws of  God with the laws of man. Through mindfulness you will remember who
T1:6.4 It is your union with your Self. Union with your Self is union with  God. Thus your concentration must not stray back to old concepts of
T1:6.4 must not stray back to old concepts of prayer or of reaching  God through the intercession of prayer as if God were separate from
T1:6.4 prayer or of reaching God through the intercession of prayer as if  God were separate from you and accessible only through a specific
T1:6.5 To use prayer only as a means of reaching out to a  god seen as separate is to attempt to use what cannot be used. Such
T1:6.5 those who are ready to walk through them to a real relationship with  God and Self. But this is not the concept of prayer of which we speak
T1:8.1 union of the human and the divine, the manifestation of the Will of  God. I have told you that you are no different than I was. Now I call
T1:8.2 What I was in life was the manifestation, in form, of the Will of  God. Thus too have you been. God is the giver of life, thus life is
T1:8.2 manifestation, in form, of the Will of God. Thus too have you been.  God is the giver of life, thus life is God’s Will. But with my
T1:8.6 this relate to your thinking? You have been reborn as god-man, as  God and man united. The resurrection is the cause and effect of the
T1:8.8 joined in union accomplished the reunion of the separated self with  God. The resurrection was evidence of this accomplishment. It laid
T1:8.9 of these and know instead the example of woman, of Mary, Mother of  God.
T1:8.13 a state in which what is begotten is begotten through union with  God. It is from this unaltered state that you are free to resurrect,
T1:10.4 experience. This is what you continue to choose over the Peace of  God. This is not a right or wrong choice but it is a choice. It is
T1:10.5 experience. Now are you willing to use it to choose the Peace of  God instead? Can you wholeheartedly choose peace? Can you choose
T1:10.6 You can continue to experience life and still carry the Peace of  God within you. As you live in peace you can be an example to your
T1:10.7 and you cannot partake if you are going to carry the Peace of  God within you.
T1:10.8 is what has been meant by the many references that have been made to  God not seeing suffering. God exists with you in peace. When you feel
T1:10.8 the many references that have been made to God not seeing suffering.  God exists with you in peace. When you feel peace, you feel the Peace
T1:10.8 exists with you in peace. When you feel peace, you feel the Peace of  God. There is no other peace. There is no other God. Whether you
T1:10.8 feel the Peace of God. There is no other peace. There is no other  God. Whether you believe it now or not, I assure you, within the
T1:10.8 Whether you believe it now or not, I assure you, within the Peace of  God is all the joy of what you have known as the human experience and
T1:10.10 that hold such sway over you that you would choose not the Peace of  God. But look past what you have remembered to what was truly there.
T1:10.10 there. No moment of true learning ever arrived without the Peace of  God for without the Peace of God no true learning is possible.
T1:10.10 ever arrived without the Peace of God for without the Peace of  God no true learning is possible.
T1:10.11 look forward to rather than back upon if you but choose the Peace of  God.
T1:10.13 pause now and accept that it is here, you will not know the Peace of  God that is your own Self.
T1:10.14 no matter what words you use to describe it, is your answer to  God and God’s answer to you. Peace is the inheritance I left you.
T1:10.15 have found peace—live in peace. You have been given the Peace of  God—go in Peace. Spread peace throughout the land. Go out in peace
T2:3.1 with the one mind and one heart, in union, in other words, with  God. Everything you have ever wanted to be is. Everything you have
T2:3.3 It is the Christ in you that learns to walk the earth as child of  God, as who you really are.
T2:6.10 and now, so that you exist—even within form—as the only Son of  God, the Christ, the word made flesh. Remember that the phrase, the
T2:6.10 Christ, the word made flesh. Remember that the phrase, the Son of  God, and the name Christ, but represent the original creation and are
T2:11.2 living under the old rules, the laws of man rather than the laws of  God or love. It will seem all but impossible to live in relationship
T2:11.4 thing given 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
T2:11.4 with the truth, or with God. Remember now and always that you and  God are one and that what you invite to do battle with God you but
T2:11.4 that you and God are one and that what you invite to do battle with  God you but battle yourself.
T2:11.5 A  God of love does not do battle for truth needs no protection. The
T2:11.12 this choice was not available and did not overturn the laws of  God. The ego is but your belief that this has occurred; that what
T2:13.1 to you. By now you have seen that your fears of losing yourself to  God were unfounded. By now you have seen that yourself does not need
T3:2.3 will as that which allows you to be separate from and independent of  God. Once this assumption was accepted, the duality of your existence
T3:2.3 relationship, of self and others. You chose a means of creation—as  God chose a means of creation. That means of creation is separation,
T3:2.5 step in the advancement of your separated state was a step away from  God and your real Self. This belief was based in logic, but the logic
T3:2.5 of the illusion—in which you believed you chose to separate from  God out of defiance and a desire to be one with God no longer. This
T3:2.5 to separate from God out of defiance and a desire to be one with  God no longer. This could not be further from the truth and is the
T3:2.5 step toward independence came a corresponding step away from  God. As independence seemed to be your purpose here, you could not
T3:2.11 not allowed you to imagine being able to take steps “back” to the  God you believe you left in defiance, or the Self you believe you
T3:2.11 speak of here is known to you. Realize that you know that it is not  God who abandoned you, but you who abandoned your Self and God. Give
T3:2.11 it is not God who abandoned you, but you who abandoned your Self and  God. Give up your desire to think that if you did such a thing there
T3:2.11 believable, is not one that includes a need to abandon your Self or  God. Why should you be more inclined to believe that you left a
T3:2.11 long to return? The only alternative has seemed to be a belief in a  God that would banish you from paradise for your sins. We have
T3:2.11 sins. 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
T3:2.12 I return you to our comparison of the family of man to the family of  God, as well as to our discussion of the return of the prodigal sons
T3:2.12 our discussion of the return of the prodigal sons and daughters of  God. This discussion may have seemed to accept the idea of a self as
T3:3.7 Both  God and Love are found in relationship where the truth becomes known
T3:3.7 becomes known to you. When the truth becomes known to you, you know  God for you know love. Beliefs, and especially the changed beliefs we
T3:5.2 filled you and emptied of the ego-self in moments of connection with  God.
T3:5.6 that continues even now. I walked the earth in order to reveal a  God of love. The question of the time, a question still much in
T3:5.7 personal self to live on as the one true Self, the one true son of  God. The gift of redemption was given once and for all. It is the
T3:5.8 rebirth of the Self, the original purpose goes unfulfilled. Since  God is original purpose, original cause, the origin of self and of
T3:5.8 illusion will be no more and truth will reign. Such is the reign of  God.
T3:6.1 what you give. This stems from your idea of yourself as a “child” of  God, and a notion that would seem to suggest that the child is less
T3:6.1 this is not the same as the “rewards” you seek—some of you from  God, some from life, some from fate. No matter who it is you think is
T3:6.2 the lofty heights we have just traveled, discussing the reign of  God and the meaning of life and death. But this is one of the key
T3:6.2 you from yourself and has much to do with your former notions of  God and your own self. It is an idea that has been transferred to all
T3:6.4 bitterness remains, vengeance will remain. You have been shown that  God is not a God of vengeance but that you are still in the process
T3:6.4 vengeance will remain. You have been shown that God is not a  God of vengeance but that you are still in the process of learning
T3:7.1 there a corresponding belief system that formed around the idea of  God?
T3:7.2 there are no beliefs that represent the truth of who you are and who  God is, we speak now of ideas or thoughts. If you believe that God
T3:7.2 who God is, we speak now of ideas or thoughts. If you believe that  God created you with a thought or idea, then you can begin to see the
T3:8.1 The Kingdom of  God is the House of Truth. Or better said, the House of Truth has
T3:8.1 Or better said, the House of Truth has been called the Kingdom of  God. I remind you, once again, that what you have called things are
T3:8.4 beliefs hold the seeds of bitterness, the angst you feel towards  God and brothers and sisters both alive and dead.
T3:11.6 of the truth and lived by the truth. I was aware of the Peace of  God and lived within the Peace of God. I was aware of the Love of God
T3:11.6 truth. I was aware of the Peace of God and lived within the Peace of  God. I was aware of the Love of God and the Love of God lived within
T3:11.6 of God and lived within the Peace of God. I was aware of the Love of  God and the Love of God lived within me.
T3:11.6 the Peace of God. I was aware of the Love of God and the Love of  God lived within me.
T3:11.7 This is what you are now called to do: Be aware that the love of  God lives within you. Live within the Peace of God. Live by the truth.
T3:11.7 that the love of God lives within you. Live within the Peace of  God. Live by the truth.
T3:11.9 I have called the Kingdom of  God the House of Truth rather than the House of Peace for a reason.
T3:11.9 for a reason. What you are learning is no longer that the Kingdom of  God or the House of Truth exists, but how to live within it. The
T3:11.13 with its reality judgment would be upon you—not any judgment of  God, but judgment of your own mind.
T3:12.8 made of love. A physical self is not inconsistent with the laws of  God or of creation. It is simply a choice.
T3:12.9 Knowing it existed in a state inconsistent with that of the laws of  God, it made of God a being to be feared, thus continuing, and being
T3:12.9 in a state inconsistent with that of the laws of God, it made of  God a being to be feared, thus continuing, and being unable to find
T3:12.10 and love is the next step in creation, the rebirth of the Son of  God known as the resurrection.
T3:13.2 experience, saying that these things that draw you from the peace of  God draw you from the state in which you are aware of who you are,
T3:13.2 or a personal self. While you may still feel a connection to  God during such times, you will not be dwelling within the peace of
T3:13.2 God during such times, you will not be dwelling within the peace of  God. Your Self and God will be but memories to you while your reality
T3:13.2 you will not be dwelling within the peace of God. Your Self and  God will be but memories to you while your reality remains that of
T3:13.2 and the personal self. In such times you can conceive only of a  God outside of yourself and trust not in the benevolence of the
T3:14.12 Atonement, or correction, is not of you but of  God. You might think of this in terms of nature and look upon
T3:15.18 empty-handed. The truth goes with you as does the love and peace of  God.
T3:16.1 to live by the truth is the only offering you are asked to make to  God. You need make no other offerings. No sacrifices need be made and
T3:16.1 need be made and sacrifices are, in truth, unacceptable to  God. You are asked to give up nothing but unwillingness.
T3:16.15 your new Self will create. As you live with awareness of the love of  God within you, you will see that you have no need for special love
T3:17.5 That mistake was seeing  God as “other than” and separate from the self. While it was
T3:17.6 is not other than who you are but an aspect of who you are and Who  God Is. Let me remind you also that names, such as Holy Spirit, are
T3:17.8 The Holy Spirit, unlike  God the Creator, has known the existence of the illusion and the
T3:19.16 and yet remaining to tell those who would listen about the glory of  God. What will make this choice so attractive are ordinary people
T3:20.7 or for drugs that would ease suffering, and you might pray that  God spare this one from a future seemingly already written, and think
T3:20.12 are called not to return. To turn your back not on the truth nor on  God or love.
T3:20.14 you must remind yourself that it is only from within the Peace of  God that your wholeheartedness and our unity is accomplished.
T3:22.14 of what you desire is observation of what is, for your desire is of  God and what you desire now, contrary to what you would have desired
T3:22.14 have desired in 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
T3:22.14 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 God’s joined as one.
T4:1.5 Are you willing to be chosen? Are you willing to be the chosen of  God? All are asked. What is your answer?
T4:1.6 Many different groups believe they are the chosen people of  God, or Buddha, or Muhammad. Many of this generation believe they are
T4:1.11 if 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 is the same as being asked if you are willing to be the chosen of  God. This is the same question that has been asked throughout the
T4:1.11 existence of time. Some have chosen to come to know themselves and  God directly. Others have chosen to come to know themselves and God
T4:1.11 and God directly. Others have chosen to come to know themselves and  God indirectly. These are the only two choices, the choices between
T4:1.11 understand is that all choices will lead to knowledge of Self and  God, as no choices are offered that are not such. All are chosen and
T4:1.12 even the house of illusion is held within the embrace of love, of  God, of the truth. Does this sound exclusive to you? The embrace is
T4:1.13 seem in your imaginings. What a fickle universe. What a perverse  God. If an end to suffering and fear has been possible, and is
T4:1.18 You have completed God’s act of choosing you by choosing  God. This is all the chosen people are in time—those who have
T4:1.18 This is all the chosen people are in time—those who have chosen  God as God has chosen them. That you have chosen God and chosen a new
T4:1.18 is all the chosen people are in time—those who have chosen God as  God has chosen them. That you have chosen God and chosen a new means
T4:1.18 who have chosen God as God has chosen them. That you have chosen  God and chosen a new means of coming to know the truth—the means of
T4:1.27 of the Holy Spirit, some were able to come to know themselves and  God through the indirect means of this state of consciousness and to
T4:1.27 direct communication was possible, to come to know themselves and  God directly, and to pass on this learning through direct means. What
T4:1.27 unaware of the new consciousness to come to know themselves and  God, and to continue to pass their learning on indirectly, or through
T4:2.3 proponent of The Way of Christ-consciousness as The Way to Self and  God.
T4:2.4 There was no Way or path or process back to  God and Self before me. It was the time of man wandering in the
T4:2.4 I came to show The Way to Christ-consciousness, which is The Way to  God and Self. But I also came to provide an intermediary, for this is
T4:2.4 self with the spirit of the divine or remembered Self. Although  God never abandoned the humans who seeded the Earth, the humans, in
T4:2.4 the humans, in the state of the forgotten self, could not know  God because of their fear. I revealed a God of Love and the Holy
T4:2.4 self, could not know God because of their fear. I revealed a  God of Love and the Holy Spirit provided for indirect and less
T4:2.4 indirect and less fearful means of communion or communication with  God.
T4:2.5 as well as all that was created, have always been the beloved of  God because Love was and is the means of creation. The people of the
T4:2.22 is a new relationship. Unity always existed. Oneness always existed.  God always existed. But you separated yourself from direct awareness
T4:2.22 awareness of your relationship with unity, with oneness, and with  God, just as you separated yourself from relationship with the
T4:2.22 with the wholeness of the pattern of creation. You have believed in  God and perhaps in some concept of unity or oneness, but you have
T4:2.22 the possibility of experiencing your own direct relationship with  God, or the possibility that your life is a direct experience of the
T4:3.6 Even the most loving parent, like unto your most loving image of  God, having brought a child into a fearful world, became subject to
T4:3.6 a world of effort with all things in it and beyond it, including  God, weighed and balanced against the idea of fear.
T4:3.7 a world of love, there can be no more weighing of love against fear.  God did not create fear and will not be judged by it. All judgment is
T4:3.7 and live in a world the nature of which was fear, you could not know  God. You could not know God because you judged God from within the
T4:3.7 nature of which was fear, you could not know God. You could not know  God because you judged God from within the nature of fear, believing
T4:3.7 you could not know God. You could not know God because you judged  God from within the nature of fear, believing it to be your natural
T4:4.5 This is one of the reasons that I came in the form of the “son of  God.” In the time in which I lived, the idea of inheritance was an
T4:4.9 New.” There has not been a time on Earth in which the inheritance of  God the Father was accepted, save by me. This is why this time is
T4:5.1 not your only choice. As many of you believed that I was the Son of  God and more than a man before my birth, during my lifetime and after
T4:5.1 came before me and all who came after me. All that being a Son of  God means is that you represent the continuity of creation and that
T4:5.2 This could as easily be stated as your being a Song of  God. You are God’s harmony, God’s expression, God’s melody. You, and
T4:5.4 Energy of Love, the Energy of Creation, the Source that is known as  God. Since you are clearly alive, this Energy exists within you as it
T4:5.4 not required for Its existence or expression. How could form contain  God? How could form contain the Energy of Creation?
T4:5.5 Your form does not contain your heart, or the energy of creation, or  God. Your form is but an extension of this energy, a representation
T4:5.5 living matter that exists within the ocean has no need to search for  God. It lives in God. So do you.
T4:5.5 exists within the ocean has no need to search for God. It lives in  God. So do you.
T4:5.6  God can thus be seen as the All of everything and life, or the Body
T4:5.10 To align your will with the Will of  God is to make the choice for Christ-consciousness, to make the
T4:5.12 formerly only after your death that you chose direct revelation by  God. Think about this now and you will see that it is true. You hoped
T4:5.12 You hoped to live a good life and at the end of that life to know  God. Your vision of the afterlife was one in which God revealed
T4:5.12 that life to know God. Your vision of the afterlife was one in which  God revealed Himself to you and, in that revelation, transformed you.
T4:7.2 the time of the Holy Spirit, your understanding of your Self and  God grew through the indirect means that were available to you,
T4:7.2 you, during the time of Christ, your understanding of your Self and  God cannot help but grow through the direct and observable means now
T4:8.1 life. You are now beginning to be able to understand that it was  God who made this choice. This was the Creator making a choice.
T4:8.2 any choice in the matter, or reverting to old ideas of blaming  God for all that has ensued since this choice. I say this because
T4:8.2 because only now are you beginning to be ready to hear that you and  God are the same. That when I say “God made a choice” I am not saying
T4:8.3 The heart of  God is the center of the universe, as your own heart is the center of
T4:8.3 universe, as your own heart is the center of your being. The mind of  God is the source of all ideas, just as “your” mind is the source of
T4:8.5 it grows into its time of fullness. Creation on the scale at which  God creates produced the universe, or in actuality, many universes.
T4:8.6 Each expression of God’s love, being of  God, continued to express love through expression of its nature,
T4:8.6 to express love through expression of its nature, which was of  God. What happened in the case of human beings, was a disconnect from
T4:8.6 love, which in turn caused a disconnect in your ability to know  God, because you did not know yourself.
T4:8.7 process that was as known to you and chosen by you as it was by  God, because you and God are one.
T4:8.7 as known to you and chosen by you as it was by God, because you and  God are one.
T4:8.8 You might ask how, if what I’m saying is true, could  God disconnect from himself? What God could not disconnect from was
T4:8.8 if what I’m saying is true, could God disconnect from himself? What  God could not disconnect from was the true nature of the being of
T4:8.8 God could not disconnect from was the true nature of the being of  God, which is love. What God could not disconnect from was the true
T4:8.8 from was the true nature of the being of God, which is love. What  God could not disconnect from was the true nature of creation, which
T4:8.8 disconnect from was the true nature of creation, which is love. What  God, in effect had to do, what you in effect had to do in order to
T4:8.8 to do in order to live in a nature inconsistent with that from which  God could not disconnect, was disconnect from God. Since God was the
T4:8.8 with that from which God could not disconnect, was disconnect from  God. Since God was the center of your being, it was impossible to
T4:8.8 from which God could not disconnect, was disconnect from God. Since  God was the center of your being, it was impossible to disconnect
T4:8.8 thus inconsistent with your nature, fearfulness is inconsistent with  God. Judgment is inconsistent with God. Bondage or lack of freedom is
T4:8.8 fearfulness is inconsistent with God. Judgment is inconsistent with  God. Bondage or lack of freedom is inconsistent with God.
T4:8.8 with God. Bondage or lack of freedom is inconsistent with  God.
T4:8.9  God always knew what your mind chose to rebel against: that creation
T4:8.9 to rebel against: that creation is perfect. Your mind, being of  God, was constrained by the learning limits of the body and chose to
T4:8.9 to explore new lands while still believing the Earth to be flat—  God saw and knew to be consistent with the nature of man, even while
T4:8.9 and struggle that this impatience generated was inconsistent with  God.
T4:8.10 Thus, what could  God then do? What does creation do with a storm arising on the
T4:8.11 that is the pattern of creation. Yet your rebellion was not with  God, although you came to see it as such. Your rebellion was not
T4:8.11 the most extreme of measures—this is what happened between you and  God.
T4:8.12 it was the created’s response. It was your response, and since  God is both the Creator and the Created, it was God’s response as
T4:8.13 to live as both the Created and the Creator, you expand and enrich  God. What other purpose would God ever have had for wanting to
T4:8.13 and the Creator, you expand and enrich God. What other purpose would  God ever have had for wanting to express the Love that is Himself in
T4:8.14 who you are that you come to know who you are, then this is true of  God as well. God could not be the only being in all of creation who
T4:8.14 that you come to know who you are, then this is true of God as well.  God could not be the only being in all of creation who remains static
T4:8.14 and identity is synonymous with creation? You like to think that  God knows everything, and God surely knows everything that is. But
T4:8.14 with creation? You like to think that God knows everything, and  God surely knows everything that is. But consciousness of what is,
T4:8.14 is, the Christ-consciousness that allows you to be in communion with  God, is not a static state. While consciousness of the truth is
T4:9.9 You who have provided a service cherished by  God, and who have risen in the esteem of your brothers and sisters,
T4:10.14 behind are called to return to your union and relationship with  God wherein you are creators along with God.
T4:10.14 union and relationship with God wherein you are creators along with  God.
T4:12.21 were created by the one mind and heart that you share in unity with  God. The new patterns of sharing in unity and relationship and thus
T4:12.21 being created by the one mind and heart that you share in unity with  God. You will be the co-creator of the new pattern of consciousness
T4:12.34 act of a loving Creator. Creation is a dialogue. Creation—which is  God and us in unity—will respond to our responses. Will respond to
T4:12.34 this not make perfect sense when you realize that creation, like  God, is not “other than” who you are? How could creation proceed on
D:1.2 is the same as you. In our union we bear the sameness of the Son of  God. In going forth with the vision of unity you become as I was
D:1.12 you now, today: The state of grace of the newly identified child of  God.
D:1.23 This is akin to thinking of a  god who exists outside or apart from yourself. If you fully accepted
D:2.23 This is the agreement  God asks of you, your part of the shared agreement that will fulfill
D:3.22 are the ideas of your brothers and sisters as much as they are of  God. I am teaching you nothing, nothing old and nothing new. I am
D:4.1 This Covenant is the fulfillment of the agreement between you and  God. The agreement is for you to be the new. As you are new, so too
D:4.1 The agreement is for you to be the new. As you are new, so too is  God, for you are one, if not the same. As you are new, so too is the
D:5.14 but to allow all that was created to show the way back to Self and  God to be what it is in truth. This is the return of love to love.
D:5.15 are going beyond simple recognition and acceptance of the Self as  God created the Self—to the living of this Self in form. This is an
D:5.15 form. This is an acceptance that recognizes that while the Self that  God created is eternal and the self of form as ancient as the sea and
D:6.10 What these laws of science do not take into account are the laws of  God. Although science is beginning to see much as it truly is,
D:7.10 nature associated with them—now can love all of your Self, all of  God, all of creation. You can respond to love with love.
D:7.18 Revelation is of  God. Observation, vision, and desire are steps leading you beyond
D:7.27 In truth, this circle is everything, the All of All, the universe,  God. But just as the Earth can be seen as your home, although you are
D:9.5 self. When it was said within this Course that you are an idea of  God, and when ideas were spoken of as if they were synonymous with
D:11.2 brothers and sisters, is insane. To think of the thought or idea of  God by which you were created as the same type of thought I have just
D:11.13 of unity. In our union we bear the sameness of the Son of  God. In going forth with the vision of unity you become as I was
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

D:15.3 Life and the movement of being into form is what occurred when  God “spoke” and the Word came into being. Movement is energy, the
D:15.7 creation story of what was once my tradition as an example. Before  God “said” anything, a mighty wind swept over the wasteland and the
D:15.8 Then  God, a being, spoke. Here we have both the introduction of a being
D:16.5 Through the art of thought, these abilities become who we are.  God and Creation are synonymous, and you are reminded of that here as
D:16.5 are synonymous, and you are reminded of that here as you and  God become synonymous through Creation. Means and end are one. Cause
D:16.5 end are one. Cause and effect the same. Creation is means and end as  God is means and end. Creation is cause and effect as God is cause
D:16.5 and end as God is means and end. Creation is cause and effect as  God is cause and effect. When you move from the state of becoming to
D:16.7 is the spirit of the wind that animates all form. Love is spirit, is  God, is creation. Love is a description of the All of All because it
D:16.7 the state of unity, the only relationship through which the Self and  God become known to you. Love, God, Creation, are all that remained
D:16.7 through which the Self and God become known to you. Love,  God, Creation, are all that remained in union, in eternal completion,
D:16.8 expression are also what is because they are the givens. Love, like  God, like Creation, is the giver of the givens. Life was given
D:16.8 givens. Life was given through the extension and the expression of  God, of Love, of Creation—through the extension of wholeness—into
D:16.9 in choice. While you think that you can choose to stand apart from  God, apart from Love, apart from Creation, you cannot. But you can,
D:16.18 of your best self, who you may imagine now, through the grace of  God, you finally are. But this may also at times be an image of a
D:17.19 feel awe, which, it has been stated, is due nothing and no one but  God. To move beyond desire to reverence is to move into the state of
D:17.19 desire to reverence is to move into the state of communion with  God, full oneness with God, wholeness.
D:17.19 is to move into the state of communion with God, full oneness with  God, wholeness.
D:Day1.2 I care not in what form of the truth you believe, nor to what  god you believe you send your prayers; although if you do not believe
D:Day1.2 above a form of truth, and if you continue to send your prayers to a  god who is other than you, you will not cross the threshold.
D:Day1.11 accept me. You may claim that you understand that this power is of  God, whether it be the power of granting life to grow within the
D:Day1.11 matter whether this power be called Buddha or Allah, Muhammad or  God.
D:Day1.12 It matters not. The power of  God is not what is being spoken of here. It is our power that is
D:Day1.12 here. It is our power that is being spoken of here. The power of the  god man. The power of God brought into form. The power of who we are
D:Day1.12 that is being spoken of here. The power of the god man. The power of  God brought into form. The power of who we are rather than the power
D:Day1.12 into form. The power of who we are rather than the power of who  God is.
D:Day1.13  God cares not what you call Him. God knows who He is. It is man who

D:Day2.9 part of you that has compared your actions to the laws of man and  God and found yourself guilty.
D:Day3.20 There is still a commonly held belief that abundance is a favor of  God and, as such, those who do not experience abundance have done
D:Day3.35 Spirit, the time of a need for an intermediary between yourself and  God, is gone. You have been invited to know God directly, and to
D:Day3.35 between yourself and God, is gone. You have been invited to know  God directly, and to develop a relationship with God. It is only in
D:Day3.35 invited to know God directly, and to develop a relationship with  God. It is only in knowing God that the relationship of abundance

D:Day3.36 Use me not as an intermediary. It is only in relationship with the  God within that the way will become clear.
D:Day3.38 revealed to you, is a new way, the way of direct relationship with  God, the way of knowing through discovery. Remember always that
D:Day3.45 insane argument about abundance, is an acknowledgment, even from  God, that you do not have what you need, that you are lacking, and
D:Day3.46 are still waiting for provision. Even those of you who have asked  God for abundance, and opened yourselves to receive it, even those of
D:Day3.49 of considering how what you might do might affect the response of  God. You take this step without realizing that you are still acting
D:Day3.49 of it being an “if this, then that” world. You try to guess what  God might want you to do, be it being still and not worrying about
D:Day3.59 the compassionate and loving benevolence of the universe, of  God, of the All of All, and still accept the reality of lack. You
D:Day4.21 inaccurate world-view of the past, of the hereafter, of me, and of  God. Not only has your mind been misled, but your heart and soul as
D:Day4.35 You might think of the mountain top as symbolic of a place close to  God. If God was once seen as a figure in heaven, and heaven as a
D:Day4.35 think of the mountain top as symbolic of a place close to God. If  God was once seen as a figure in heaven, and heaven as a place beyond
D:Day4.35 top was symbolic of proximity. It was symbolic of a place from which  God was almost touchable. As if one could raise ones arms and touch
D:Day4.35 God was almost touchable. As if one could raise ones arms and touch  God, stretch just a little more and reach heaven. You thus may think
D:Day4.35 the mountain as a time of getting in touch with your own access to  God, your own access to heaven. You might think that if you stretch
D:Day4.52 denial asked of you, or because you still feel like bargaining with  God. These things are only reactions to faulty perceptions, only the

D:Day9.11 a goal, the achievement of an ideal image is to have created a false  god.

D:Day11.5 God is the oneness and the separation. Life is the relationship.  God is what is. Life is the relationship of what is with Its Self.
D:Day11.6 The All of Everything is unknowable. Thus you are the knowable of  God. You are the knowable because you are the relationship of All
D:Day11.7 is the awareness of existence through relationship. It is not  God. It is not man. It is the relationship that allows the awareness

D:Day17.2 You have been told Christ-consciousness is neither  God nor man but the relationship that allows the awareness that God
D:Day17.2 God nor man but the relationship that allows the awareness that  God is everything. You have been told Christ-consciousness has also
D:Day17.2 itself. It is both the feminine and masculine, the “identity” of  God, or in other words, the All of All given an identity. God holds
D:Day17.2 of God, or in other words, the All of All given an identity.  God holds you within Himself. Christ is held within you as the center
D:Day17.2 —as your identity and God’s identity. Christ is the “I Am” of  God, the expression of “I Am” in form, the animator and the animated,
D:Day17.2 of creation. Christ is that which anointed form with the “I Am” of  God. In many religious traditions, life is ritually or sacramentally
D:Day17.3 your true Self is being in union, undivided and inseparable from  God, the All of All. God is only the all-knowing because God is in
D:Day17.3 being in union, undivided and inseparable from God, the All of All.  God is only the all-knowing because God is in everything and
D:Day17.3 from God, the All of All. God is only the all-knowing because  God is in everything and everyone. Consciousness itself is not
D:Day17.3 and everyone. Consciousness itself is not knowing but awareness.  God is the creator of knowing because God created a means of coming
D:Day17.3 is not knowing but awareness. God is the creator of knowing because  God created a means of coming to know. This “part” of God, the
D:Day17.3 because God created a means of coming to know. This “part” of  God, the animator and informer, is Christ-consciousness.
D:Day17.10 The main ability of the individual is the ability to represent what  God created, the means of coming to know—which is
D:Day18.2 with the world. So do each of you. These two ways also represent  God and Christ-consciousness, the extension of God. God is everything
D:Day18.2 ways also represent God and Christ-consciousness, the extension of  God. God is everything in heaven and on earth and is in everything on
D:Day18.2 also represent God and Christ-consciousness, the extension of God.  God is everything in heaven and on earth and is in everything on
D:Day18.2 and on earth and is in everything on heaven and on earth. Thus,  God represents the world without. Christ-consciousness is God within
D:Day18.2 Thus, God represents the world without. Christ-consciousness is  God within you, your particular manifestation of God and relationship
D:Day18.2 is God within you, your particular manifestation of  God and relationship with the God within.
D:Day18.2 you, your particular manifestation of God and relationship with the  God within.
D:Day19.8 intermediary functions but demonstrated direct union with  God. Each demonstrated the creative aspect of that function in
D:Day19.8 different ways. But the function remained one of direct union with  God. This is quite literally the function of all in this new time.
D:Day22.5 known you are here to fulfill, the function of direct union with  God.
D:Day22.6 same function produces the same results. No one who is in union with  God is in union with the known. Yet it is as if through this union
D:Day22.6 that you touch when you fulfill your function of direct union with  God. How do you let it pass through you to the world?
D:Day22.8 This awareness of union with  God is what is now within you awaiting your expression. Awareness of
D:Day22.8 is now within you awaiting your expression. Awareness of union with  God exists in everything. It is there in every tree and every flower,
D:Day22.8 wind. It is time to be a channel for the awareness of union with  God that exists in every living being.
D:Day22.9 words that are simply calling you to realization of your union with  God and to the new world you can create once you accept and make real
D:Day22.10 You might think of yourself as a channel through which union with  God is expressed and made real here and now. There is no other time.
D:Day22.11 only the feeling that a place of union exists in which you know  God, in which you know love, in which you know of joy without sorrow,
D:Day28.11 You and  God are one. God is not the giver and you the receiver.
D:Day28.11 You and God are one.  God is not the giver and you the receiver.
D:Day28.14 If the attitude you will have greater need of reversing is that of  God determining the circumstances of your life, you have probably
D:Day28.14 of success or failure. Therefore, you think that you must take what  God has to “give.”
D:Day29.1 —where they cease to be real for us. Wholeness and separation,  God and man, life and the individuated self, what you do and who you
D:Day30.5 known, the experience and the experiencer. The quest to join with  God is this quest. The quest to be the knower and the known, the
D:Day31.8 Experience is not known separately from the Self. Self and  God are one and experiencing together in wholeness. For the
D:Day31.8 wholeness. For the individuated Self to experience separately from  God is to negate the purpose of the experience of the Self which is
D:Day31.8 God is to negate the purpose of the experience of the Self which is  God. To negate is to deny what is. The denial of what is is the
D:Day32.1 The experience of the Self is  God. It is not from God. It is not of God. It is God.
D:Day32.1 The experience of the Self is God. It is not from  God. It is not of God. It is God.
D:Day32.1 The experience of the Self is God. It is not from God. It is not of  God. It is God.
D:Day32.1 of the Self is God. It is not from God. It is not of God. It is  God.
D:Day32.2 If all of life is the oneness that is  God and God has chosen to experience that oneness through
D:Day32.2 If all of life is the oneness that is God and  God has chosen to experience that oneness through relationship, then
D:Day32.2 then you are also that experience and are in relationship with  God through that experience.
D:Day32.3 concepts of oneness and manyness for if you retain any notions of  God that are inaccurate, they will arise here.
D:Day32.4 Let us discuss, for a moment, the concept of  God because everyone has at least some sort of concept of God.
D:Day32.4 concept of God because everyone has at least some sort of concept of  God.
D:Day32.5 First we will look at the concept of  God as Supreme Being—God as one being, one entity. When thought of
D:Day32.5 First we will look at the concept of God as Supreme Being—  God as one being, one entity. When thought of in such a way, it is
D:Day32.5 When thought of in such a way, it is somewhat easier to relate to  God than when God is thought of in broader terms. You might think of
D:Day32.5 of in such a way, it is somewhat easier to relate to God than when  God is thought of in broader terms. You might think of God as you
D:Day32.5 God than when God is thought of in broader terms. You might think of  God as you think of yourself. When thinking of the ideas put forth
D:Day32.5 When thinking of the ideas put forth here, you might think of  God deciding to know Himself. You might think of God deciding to
D:Day32.5 you might think of God deciding to know Himself. You might think of  God deciding to create. You might think of God creating. You might
D:Day32.5 You might think of God deciding to create. You might think of  God creating. You might think of God granting free will to His
D:Day32.5 to create. You might think of God creating. You might think of  God granting free will to His creations. Then, perhaps, you might
D:Day32.5 free will to His creations. Then, perhaps, you might think of  God resting, or standing back and witnessing the unfolding of all
D:Day32.6 What would the purpose of this be? Would  God be standing back, judging Himself on the goodness of what He
D:Day32.7 Another concept of  God is that of Creator. This concept might have nothing to do with
D:Day32.7 of Creator. This concept might have nothing to do with the notion of  God wanting to know Himself. This concept may be quite amorphous and
D:Day32.7 than scientific notions of the source of life. Whether it be called  God or the Big Bang or evolution, this notion presents the concept of
D:Day32.8 Another idea of  God within the concept of a Creator God is of God existing in all of
D:Day32.8 Another idea of God within the concept of a Creator  God is of God existing in all of what has been created. God is,
D:Day32.8 Another idea of God within the concept of a Creator God is of  God existing in all of what has been created. God is, within this
D:Day32.8 of a Creator God is of God existing in all of what has been created.  God is, within this concept, seen as the spirit within all that lives
D:Day32.8 and also seen as an overriding spirit, a force, a unifying factor.  God is closer, within this idea, to being a participatory being, but
D:Day32.8 Man lives and has free will. Animals abide by the laws of nature.  God is still a concept.
D:Day32.9 Yet most religious beliefs encompass the concept of a living  God. How might God live? Could He live in time and space in a
D:Day32.9 religious beliefs encompass the concept of a living God. How might  God live? Could He live in time and space in a dimension we know not?
D:Day32.10 A concept of  God is not necessary. False concepts of God, however, are
D:Day32.10 A concept of God is not necessary. False concepts of  God, however, are compromising to God and to Self.
D:Day32.10 not necessary. False concepts of God, however, are compromising to  God and to Self.
D:Day32.11 to you of his life as an example life. Jesus was called the Son of  God and also God. Those who understand the meaning of any or all of
D:Day32.11 life as an example life. Jesus was called the Son of God and also  God. Those who understand the meaning of any or all of the example
D:Day32.11 any or all of the example lives that have come as revelations of who  God is, understand that those lives were not separate from God.
D:Day32.11 of who God is, understand that those lives were not separate from  God.
D:Day32.12 Yet to believe that  God is everyone can still make you feel as if you are not God. How
D:Day32.12 that God is everyone can still make you feel as if you are not  God. How can this be? This can be only because in your contemplation
D:Day32.12 of self. There is a rebellion, a negation of either the self or  God that occurs when these two concepts—concepts of the self and of
D:Day32.12 that occurs when these two concepts—concepts of the self and of  God—cannot be reconciled or joined in harmony. Either the self or
D:Day32.12 God—cannot be reconciled or joined in harmony. Either the self or  God takes precedence in all lives. All lives. There is no other
D:Day32.12 lives. All lives. There is no other choice as long as the self and  God are seen as separate.
D:Day32.13 Whether  God is seen as Creator or Supreme Being, God is still seen as the All
D:Day32.13 Whether God is seen as Creator or Supreme Being,  God is still seen as the All Powerful. While God is seen as the All
D:Day32.13 or Supreme Being, God is still seen as the All Powerful. While  God is seen as the All Powerful, man is disenfranchised. Even while
D:Day32.13 God is seen as the All Powerful, man is disenfranchised. Even while  God is perhaps seen in all things, or as the spirit by which all that
D:Day32.13 seen in all things, or as the spirit by which all that lives, lives,  God is still seen as having what man has not. The list of what one
D:Day32.13 as having what man has not. The list of what one can imagine makes  God powerful and man not could be endless, just as one could make an
D:Day32.13 one could make an endless list of what they believe differentiates  God from man. The example lives in which the power of God was
D:Day32.13 differentiates God from man. The example lives in which the power of  God was demonstrated in the lives of men and women are seen as little
D:Day32.13 as little more than pass-through situations in which the power of  God passed through men and women to other men and women.
D:Day32.14 Only Jesus was known as the Son of  God and as God. This is why Jesus came as your teacher and was used
D:Day32.14 Only Jesus was known as the Son of God and as  God. This is why Jesus came as your teacher and was used as the
D:Day32.14 is the point that this work has striven to get across. That man and  God are one. Not only is man God. But God is man and woman and child.
D:Day32.14 has striven to get across. That man and God are one. Not only is man  God. But God is man and woman and child. God is.
D:Day32.14 to get across. That man and God are one. Not only is man God. But  God is man and woman and child. God is.
D:Day32.14 are one. Not only is man God. But God is man and woman and child.  God is.
D:Day32.15 And yet,  God could not be all that is, or God would not be in relationship. If
D:Day32.15 And yet, God could not be all that is, or  God would not be in relationship. If the natural world around you has
D:Day32.15 around you has revealed anything to you of the nature of life and  God, it has revealed to you the truth of relationship. As has been
D:Day32.15 truly exist. Each entity or being would be singular and alone. Yet  God has been referred to as the All of All. How could God be the All
D:Day32.15 and alone. Yet God has been referred to as the All of All. How could  God be the All of All and not also be man? How can God be all that is
D:Day32.15 of All. How could God be the All of All and not also be man? How can  God be all that is and at the same time not all that is? How can God
D:Day32.15 can God be all that is and at the same time not all that is? How can  God be the All Powerful and Living God and also be lowly and
D:Day32.15 time not all that is? How can God be the All Powerful and Living  God and also be lowly and powerless man?
D:Day32.16  God has also been referred to within this work as relationship
D:Day32.17 The claimed relationship of  God to Jesus was that of Father to Son but also as one in being. One
D:Day32.18 Could  God be one in being, but different in relationship, to each of us?
D:Day32.18 Could not God’s relationship to everything be what differentiates  God from us and us from God? So that we are both one in being and
D:Day32.18 to everything be what differentiates God from us and us from  God? So that we are both one in being and different? Could it be that
D:Day32.18 being and different? Could it be that while we are one in being with  God we can also become more god-like through the practice of holy
D:Day32.18 time together, be attempts to show you how you can be more like unto  God in relationship, even while you are God in being?
D:Day32.18 you can be more like unto God in relationship, even while you are  God in being?
D:Day32.19 Would this answer your questions concerning how  God is both different and the same? Would this answer your questions
D:Day32.19 without relationship. You are one in being with your Father, with  God, with the Creator and with all of creation. You are also,
D:Day32.20  God is the being and the relationship. You are capable of all the
D:Day32.20 capable of all the power of God’s being but you are powerful only as  God is powerful—in relationship. Because God is in relationship
D:Day32.20 you are powerful only as God is powerful—in relationship. Because  God is in relationship with everything, God is All Powerful. Because
D:Day32.20 —in relationship. Because God is in relationship with everything,  God is All Powerful. Because you are in a state of limited
D:Day32.20 relationship, you have limited power. This is the difference between  God and man. This difference, however, can be diminished as you
D:Day32.20 As you embrace holy relationship you can become powerful as  God is powerful.
D:Day33.1 powerless is to embrace an idea laden with conflict. The power of  God exists within everyone because all are one in being with God. And
D:Day33.1 of God exists within everyone because all are one in being with  God. And yet this power cannot be used. It can only serve. What does
D:Day33.7 comes to you, every event, every situation, is of being, which is  God, which is love.
D:Day33.11 All relationship is with love because all relationship is with  God, who is one in being with you.
D:Day33.12 In the time of Jesus, the powerful were seen as being blessed by  God and the powerless as not being so blessed. This way of seeing has
D:Day34.7 experience your being as powerless, you are negating the power of  God who is one in being with you.
D:Day34.8 of sameness of being. Are you willing to experience the power of  God? To let it flow through you? Realize how many have said no to
D:Day35.1 In your relationship to  God, who is your being, you can know relationship to everything,
D:Day35.3 end of relationship. You have always existed in relationship with  God who is your being. But while it has been said that you are one in
D:Day35.3 are one in being and different in relationship, relationship is also  God. God is the relationship of everything to everything.
D:Day35.3 in being and different in relationship, relationship is also God.  God is the relationship of everything to everything.
D:Day35.4 to yourself and others, without realizing that your being is  God, that others are one with you, that God is the relationship of
D:Day35.4 realizing that your being is God, that others are one with you, that  God is the relationship of everything to everything, or that you are
D:Day35.4 to everything, or that you are the relationship of everything to  God. Everything that is shared with God is shared with all because
D:Day35.4 relationship of everything to God. Everything that is shared with  God is shared with all because God is in relationship with
D:Day35.4 God. Everything that is shared with God is shared with all because  God is in relationship with everything. It has been said that when
D:Day35.5 being that you were not sharing the relationship of everything with  God? As long as you have known that you are a self, as long as you
D:Day35.5 as you have been aware of your own existence, you have been aware of  God. Your awareness of Self is God. God’s awareness of you is Self.
D:Day35.5 own existence, you have been aware of God. Your awareness of Self is  God. God’s awareness of you is Self. This awareness exists in
D:Day35.19 is as different from creating in unity as has been your concept of  God and man. Few of you have even thought of creating as God creates.
D:Day35.19 concept of God and man. Few of you have even thought of creating as  God creates. You have barely been able to accept the thought of the
D:Day35.21 some role in the creation of your life. You may feel that at times  God has intervened, or that at times you have been a victim of fate,
D:Day36.9 always been creating because you have always been one in being with  God who is endlessly creating. But you are only now a creator in
D:Day36.10 Without your awareness of unity and relationship, it was as if  God was everything and you were nothing, or as if you were everything
D:Day36.10 everything and you were nothing, or as if you were everything and  God was nothing. But just as with all and nothing, there was no
D:Day36.10 and God’s being without relationship. You could conceive of self and  God in different ways, but you could not truly create difference but
D:Day36.10 perceive of difference. You thus always remained one in being with  God, yet continued to relate only to a world and to experiences you
D:Day36.10 to experiences you perceived as being either created by a separate  God or created by your separate self. You experienced the power of
D:Day36.11 There is only difference between your being and  God in relationship. This is the example that the ideas of Father,
D:Day36.11 ideas of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as a trinity representing one  God were meant to portray. The Son could only be God in relationship
D:Day36.11 representing one God were meant to portray. The Son could only be  God in relationship to God. The Holy Spirit could only be God in
D:Day36.11 were meant to portray. The Son could only be God in relationship to  God. The Holy Spirit could only be God in relationship to God. The
D:Day36.11 only be God in relationship to God. The Holy Spirit could only be  God in relationship to God. The Father could only be God in
D:Day36.11 to God. The Holy Spirit could only be God in relationship to  God. The Father could only be God in relationship to God. God could
D:Day36.11 could only be God in relationship to God. The Father could only be  God in relationship to God. God could only be the Father, Son, and
D:Day36.11 relationship to God. The Father could only be God in relationship to  God. God could only be the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in
D:Day36.11 to God. The Father could only be God in relationship to God.  God could only be the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in relationship.
D:Day36.11 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in relationship. Without relationship,  God is simply all—being. Without relationship, what is not God is
D:Day36.11 God is simply all—being. Without relationship, what is not  God is simply being—simply existing at the opposite end of the
D:Day36.12 is this simple nothingness of existence without relationship to  God, and thus existence without relationship to the power of
D:Day36.14 Because you have always been one in being with  God, this power—this power of being—has always been yours. The
D:Day36.15 creativity and knowing or perception is to be one in being with  God. Accept this, for this is what God is and what you are. This is
D:Day36.15 is to be one in being with God. Accept this, for this is what  God is and what you are. This is being. To be one in being with God
D:Day36.15 what God is and what you are. This is being. To be one in being with  God and yet to exist outside of the powerful state of relationship
D:Day36.16 When you realize that you are one in being with  God and different in relationship you accept the power of being, or
D:Day36.16 in relationship you accept the power of being, or individuating  God. You accept the power of God. You become powerful.
D:Day36.16 the power of being, or individuating God. You accept the power of  God. You become powerful.
D:Day36.17  God remains God who is one in being with all, and God also is given
D:Day36.17 God remains  God who is one in being with all, and God also is given form, or is,
D:Day36.17 God remains God who is one in being with all, and  God also is given form, or is, in other words, differentiated. God is
D:Day36.17 and God also is given form, or is, in other words, differentiated.  God is All in All. And God is also All in One and All in Many. God is
D:Day36.17 form, or is, in other words, differentiated. God is All in All. And  God is also All in One and All in Many. God is still the Creator of
D:Day36.17 God is All in All. And God is also All in One and All in Many.  God is still the Creator of All, but God is also now the Creator of
D:Day36.17 All in One 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
D:Day36.17 the experience and the experiencer of life. Through differentiation,  God is you as you are God. God retains oneness of being and also
D:Day36.17 experiencer of life. Through differentiation, God is you as you are  God. God retains oneness of being and also becomes a being in union
D:Day36.17 of life. Through differentiation, God is you as you are God.  God retains oneness of being and also becomes a being in union and
D:Day36.18 Yet you do not disappear or cease to be. You are not replaced by  God whom you have always been one with in being. You simply accept
D:Day37.1 What we have just done is replaced an old idea of  God with a new idea of God.
D:Day37.1 we have just done is replaced an old idea of God with a new idea of  God.
D:Day37.2 If you no longer believe in  God as a supreme and separate being, why should it be difficult to
D:Day37.2 a supreme and separate being, why should it be difficult to see that  God is being? This is not much different than saying that the most
D:Day37.2 you is that you are being—and that the most basic truth about  God is that God is being. Yet the fact that you are being does not
D:Day37.2 that you are being—and that the most basic truth about God is that  God is being. Yet the fact that you are being does not define who you
D:Day37.6 Relationship and union are the way of  God. The way of heart and mind, body and soul, heaven and earth. God
D:Day37.6 of God. The way of heart and mind, body and soul, heaven and earth.  God is being in unity and relationship. So are you.
D:Day37.7 How then, you might ask, are you distinct from  God? Is your body distinct from your aliveness? You keep looking for
D:Day37.7 distinct from your aliveness? You keep looking for distinction from  God as if distinction means separation—as if God is a separate
D:Day37.7 for distinction from God as if distinction means separation—as if  God is a separate being. If this were all this idea was, it would not
D:Day37.7 difficult to dislodge, but the difficulty lies in that you think of  God in your image, and the image you hold of yourself has been
D:Day37.7 been inaccurate. Because you believe you are separate, you created  God as a particular and separate being.
D:Day37.8 continue a certain reliance. Your differentiation from the being of  God can only come through the relationship and unity that you would
D:Day37.8 be like demanding to be a body and not a mind! Your reliance on  God can only come through the relationship and unity that you would
D:Day37.9 as intent as you have been on your idea of a separate and particular  God is that you want to believe that there is a compassionate being
D:Day37.9 everything, looking out for you, there to help when you are in need.  God is all compassionate being everywhere—not one being of
D:Day37.9 you to become the one being of compassion that you already are in  God.
D:Day37.10 And then you realize that Jesus was being  God and was called Jesus Christ because he lived within
D:Day37.10 consciousness that you share. You realize that the man, the  God, the historical figure who has been called Jesus Christ was not
D:Day37.12 for a moment at what and who you have been being and what and who  God has been being.
D:Day37.13 been being. The simple truth that you are a being makes you one with  God, who is being. This truth, however, has escaped you. So you have
D:Day37.13 seen as separate rather than distinct from the divine being who is  God. Because you are being, however, (and note here that you are
D:Day37.13 you are being, however, (and note here that you are being, and  God is being, and that it is not being said that either you or God
D:Day37.13 and God is being, and that it is not being said that either you or  God are “a” being) you have power—the power of being which is the
D:Day37.14 either that you are in complete control of your life, or that  God or fate have as much control as you do. You may believe yourself,
D:Day37.14 or fate have as much control as you do. You may believe yourself,  God, and fate to be benevolent, or you may believe that everything,
D:Day37.15 than even all of this, you might ask, if you are one in being with  God, is it being said that you are being God? That you have been
D:Day37.15 you are one in being with God, is it being said that you are being  God? That you have been being God even within the limited parameters
D:Day37.15 is it being said that you are being God? That you have been being  God even within the limited parameters of life as you have known it?
D:Day37.16 human being having a separate and distinct relationship with  God, by which you mean a relationship like no other. And if you see
D:Day37.17 to be a tree blowing in the wind, what it would be like to know  God, but you cannot know, and your separate being “knows” of this
D:Day37.20 Now let us talk of  God.
D:Day37.21  God is being in unity and relationship with everything. Thus God
D:Day37.21 God is being in unity and relationship with everything. Thus  God knows you. God is one in being with you because you are one
D:Day37.21 being in unity and relationship with everything. Thus God knows you.  God is one in being with you because you are one aspect of
D:Day37.21 everything. As one being in unity and relationship with everything  God is one with every thought and every feeling. God is one with
D:Day37.21 with everything God is one with every thought and every feeling.  God is one with every creation. God is all knowing. God is, in short,
D:Day37.21 every thought and every feeling. God is one with every creation.  God is all knowing. God is, in short, the collective consciousness
D:Day37.21 every feeling. God is one with every creation. God is all knowing.  God is, in short, the collective consciousness and the collective
D:Day37.22 also be called the “being” that you appeal to when you appeal to  God. Knowing what you are coming to know about the true nature of God
D:Day37.22 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 can feel
D:Day37.22 the true nature of God should thus not leave you feeling bereft of a  God you can feel close to, appeal to, thank and praise. But doing so
D:Day37.22 But doing so can also be confusing if it leads to thoughts of  God as a particular being. Yet the idea of God as Father, introduced
D:Day37.22 it leads to thoughts of God as a particular being. Yet the idea of  God as Father, introduced and championed by Jesus Christ, was also
D:Day37.22 was also created by Jesus Christ. Thus is the power of man and  God together, the power of creation. What this is saying is that
D:Day37.22 the power of creation. What this is saying is that there is a  God the Father to relate to and that this God the Father does not
D:Day37.22 saying is that there is a God the Father to relate to and that this  God the Father does not negate God, nor does God negate God the
D:Day37.22 the Father to relate to and that this God the Father does not negate  God, nor does God negate God the Father.
D:Day37.22 relate to and that this God the Father does not negate God, nor does  God negate God the Father.
D:Day37.22 that this God the Father does not negate God, nor does God negate  God the Father.
D:Day37.23  God the Father is an idea that was created and thus exists much as
D:Day37.23 is an idea that was created and thus exists much as other ideas of  God were created and thus exist. But this creation, like the creation
D:Day37.23 creation, like the creation of Jesus Christ himself, is not all of  God, while at the same time it is all of God just as Jesus was and is
D:Day37.23 himself, is not all of God, while at the same time it is all of  God just as Jesus was and is all of God. In union and relationship,
D:Day37.23 at the same time it is all of God just as Jesus was and is all of  God. In union and relationship, God is all and God is differentiated.
D:Day37.23 God just as Jesus was and is all of God. In union and relationship,  God is all and God is differentiated.
D:Day37.23 was and is all of God. In union and relationship, God is all and  God is differentiated.
D:Day37.24 Jesus, the example life used throughout this Course, was both man and  God. He was being in unity and relationship. Being God did not negate
D:Day37.24 was both man and God. He was being in unity and relationship. Being  God did not negate his being Jesus. And being Jesus did not negate
D:Day37.24 God did not negate his being Jesus. And being Jesus did not negate  God being God. Jesus could create God the Father, could create a
D:Day37.24 not negate his being Jesus. And being Jesus did not negate God being  God. Jesus could create God the Father, could create a being
D:Day37.24 And being Jesus did not negate God being God. Jesus could create  God the Father, could create a being consistent with his being,
D:Day37.25 Jesus was all of  God and God was all of Jesus while at the same time each was
D:Day37.25 Jesus was all of God and  God was all of Jesus while at the same time each was different or
D:Day37.26 The only real difference that exists or has ever existed between  God and man is that man sees difference in a way that makes no sense.
D:Day37.26 of creation. To differentiate in union and relationship is to be  God in form—to give expression to “all” that exists in union and
D:Day37.27 By simply being, you have been “part” of  God but you have not seen this as what it really means either. You
D:Day37.27 have seen this as being separate, or at most as being “a” part of  God—as if you are a drop of water in the ocean—and in this
D:Day37.27 in the ocean—and in this example reemphasized the mightiness of  God and the lowliness of man. The “part” of God you have been being
D:Day37.27 the mightiness of God and the lowliness of man. The “part” of  God you have been being is being. You have been a feeling, thinking,
D:Day37.27 been a feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving being. The “part” of  God you have not been being is union. Remember, God is being in union
D:Day37.27 being. The “part” of God you have not been being is union. Remember,  God is being in union and relationship. This is what God is. God is
D:Day37.27 Remember, God is being in union and relationship. This is what  God is. God is being. God is relationship. God is union.
D:Day37.27 God is being in union and relationship. This is what God is.  God is being. God is relationship. God is union.
D:Day37.27 being in union and relationship. This is what God is. God is being.  God is relationship. God is union.
D:Day37.27 This is what God is. God is being. God is relationship.  God is union.
D:Day38.3 I ask you to be attentive, to the relationship that you feel with  God.
D:Day38.5 Call me  God the Father, call me God the Mother, call me Creator, or Great
D:Day38.5 Call me God the Father, call me  God the Mother, call me Creator, or Great Spirit, Yahweh or Allah,
D:Day38.10 possession for your own Self. 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:Day38.10 your own Self. 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:Day39.5 of knowing, and your embrace of mystery. Of knowing me as your  God and as God of all. Of knowing you are no longer being on your own
D:Day39.5 and your embrace of mystery. Of knowing me as your God and as  God of all. Of knowing you are no longer being on your own and yet of
D:Day39.7 necessary link between the separate and each other, between all and  God. Yet if the time of Christ is about the end of the need for the

D:Day39.23 Have I been a distant  God who does not show his love for you or others? Then you have been
D:Day39.24 Have I been a  God you have sought and never found? Then you have not found yourself.
D:Day39.25 Have I been a fair  God? Then you have been fair and the world has treated you fairly.
D:Day39.26 Have I been the  God of your religion? Then you have been religious.
D:Day39.27 Have I been a  God of vengeance? Then you have been vengeful.

D:Day39.30 fame, celebrity, intellect or any other concept that has become your  God can be a tough task master, or a fair friend, loving or unloving,
D:Day39.30 yourself and others or bring you closer to yourself and others. No  god who has been projected is without attributes, even gods such as
D:Day39.31 Have you had no  god, no science, no beauty, no wealth, but only a meager and hopeless
D:Day39.31 no beauty, no wealth, but only a meager and hopeless life? Then your  god has been the god of defeat.

D:Day39.32 but only a life of hate and violence? Then your god has been the  god of bitterness.
D:Day39.33 Everyone has a  god because everyone has a being and an identity for that being.
D:Day39.44 our direct relationship that you will no longer see me as an inhuman  God. You will know I am as human as are you and that you are as godly
D:Day40.11 —because I am attributeless being. I am love, being. But in being  God, as in being human, being takes on attributes. As was said
D:Day40.11 process rather than the process of separation. In being  God, I Am. In being love there is no I Am, but only love being.
D:Day40.13 is the awareness of existence through relationship. It is not  God. It is not man. It is the relationship that allows the awareness
D:Day40.13 It is not man. It is the relationship that allows the awareness that  God is everything. It has been called wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is
D:Day40.13 It has been called wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is that without which  God would not know God. It is that which differentiates All from
D:Day40.13 wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is that without which God would not know  God. It is that which differentiates All from nothing. Because it is
D:Day40.14 The difference between you and me is that I am being  God and also love, being. This is why I am all and nothing, the
D:Day40.14 love, being. This is why I am all and nothing, the attribute-laden  God and the attributeless love. This is why it can be rightly said
D:Day40.14 and the attributeless love. This is why it can be rightly said that  God is Love and Love is God. But I am also an extension of love, just
D:Day40.14 This is why it can be rightly said that God is Love and Love is  God. But I am also an extension of love, just as you are. This is all

D:Day40.16 that in their totality would define your life, so have I, as  God, had many “separate” relationships with you and your brothers and
D:Day40.16 different, many of you have gone on quests to find the “one, true,  God.” Do you not see that this would be like going on a quest to find
D:Day40.20 has kept you as intrigued with the idea of self as with the idea of  God. You have searched for a “one, true, self” as you have searched
D:Day40.20 for a “one, true, self” as you have searched for a “one, true,  God.” This search only makes sense to the separated self, who
D:Day40.20 things are separate and thus believes that its self, as well as its  God, must be separate from what it is being. It doesn’t understand,
D:Day40.21  God is a relationship with love. This relationship with love is all
D:Day40.21 This relationship with love is all that provides for the I Am of  God.
E.4 asked to “Imagine the ocean or the cheetah, the sun or the moon or  God Himself, attempting to learn what they are. They are the same as
A.1 of Christ, a time of direct learning in union and relationship with  God. The word learning is loosely used here for no learning is needed
A.33 unity or as if they are no closer to knowing themselves or  God. They may feel as if this Course of study that seemed to be

C:P.24 The Course speaks of patience that is infinite.  God is patient, but the world is not. God is patient for God sees you
C:P.24 of patience that is infinite. God is patient, but the world is not.  God is patient for God sees you only as you are. The Christ in you is
C:P.27 Obviously the nature of  God is different than the nature of man. God does not have physical
C:P.34 The content of  God is love. Jesus embodied God by embodying love. He came to reverse
C:2.8 that these are the only options available to creatures of a loving  God is insane. Yet you believe that to think the opposite is true
C:2.11 you have made of it. The Bible instructs you to be compassionate as  God is compassionate. You have defined it unlike the compassion of
C:2.12 To be compassionate as  God is compassionate is to see as God sees. Again, I stress to you,
C:4.5 on your inability to recognize love and thus who you are and who  God is. How could you not have been fearful with doubt as powerful as
C:5.4 Union is impossible without God.  God is union. Is this not like saying God is Love? Love is impossible
C:5.4 is impossible without God. God is union. Is this not like saying  God is Love? Love is impossible without union. The same is true of
C:5.22 this desire to be separate and alone. Your entire resistance to  God is based on this. You think you have chosen to be separate from
C:5.30  God is known to you within relationships, as this is all that is real
C:6.19 God’s beloved son and dwelling place of God Himself? It is because  God is not separate from anything that you cannot be. It is because
C:6.19 God is not separate from anything that you cannot be. It is because  God is not separate from anything that heaven is where you are. It is
C:6.19 separate from anything that heaven is where you are. It is because  God is love that all your relationships are holy, and from them you
C:8.17 terms that set your reality in a location, on a planet, in a body.  God is here and you belong to God. This is the only sense in which

C:9.34 to a previous condition that you imagine you know. In this scenario  God is like unto your banker rather than your Father. You would prove
C:10.13 sisters, right now, today. To believe in God without understanding  God is one thing. To believe in your union with your neighbor without
C:11.9 To think you must protect anything from  God is insane, and you know that this is so. But because you view
C:12.4 yourself. Yet you must understand that nothing that is not part of  God is worthy of joining, nor can join with you. What you have sought
C:12.24 benevolent and kind, or just another name for love, but such it is.  God is but creation’s starting point, the creator of creation and yet
C:12.24 like unto Creation, proceeded from the starting point of God.  God is the Son and Holy Spirit’s starting point as well, the Creator
C:16.16 to your memory of creation. To wrestle the right to judge away from  God is an act against God, and like a child who has dared to defy his
C:17.2 as well as in regard to relationship. Your choice to separate from  God is but a separation from your own Self, and this is truly the

C:19.14 the riddle, the mystery, of the divine, and why they conclude that  God is unknowable. God is knowable from within the mystery of

C:19.17 other hand, when only one of anything exists it is highly prized.  God is thus “God” due, at least in part, to what you view as His
C:23.6 consuming. Yet, while God transcends knowing, your relationship with  God is how you know both God and your Self.
C:27.10 objects and bodies, as all that exists, and thus who you are and who  God is? Is it such a huge leap to go from saying you only exist in
C:29.3 your notion of yourself, and to minimize it. To be of service to  God is not to be a slave to God but to attend to God. To give God
C:29.15 Life is service to God.  God is service to life. You are God in life. Thus you are both life
C:29.25 you have received only needs to be given? The indivisibleness of  God is simply this: an unbroken chain of giving and receiving. Thus
T1:2.21 To experience what is and to acknowledge what is as being a gift of  God is to be present as a divine being having a human experience. No
T1:4.26 this 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
T1:8.2 manifestation, in form, of the Will of God. Thus too have you been.  God is the giver of life, thus life is God’s Will. But with my
T1:10.8 Whether you believe it now or not, I assure you, within the Peace of  God is all the joy of what you have known as the human experience and
T3:5.8 rebirth of the Self, the original purpose goes unfulfilled. Since  God is original purpose, original cause, the origin of self and of
T3:6.4 bitterness remains, vengeance will remain. You have been shown that  God is not a God of vengeance but that you are still in the process
T3:7.2 there are no beliefs that represent the truth of who you are and who  God is, we speak now of ideas or thoughts. If you believe that God
T3:8.1 The Kingdom of  God is the House of Truth. Or better said, the House of Truth has
T3:17.6 is not other than who you are but an aspect of who you are and Who  God Is. Let me remind you also that names, such as Holy Spirit, are
T4:5.10 To align your will with the Will of  God is to make the choice for Christ-consciousness, to make the
T4:8.3 The heart of  God is the center of the universe, as your own heart is the center of
T4:8.3 universe, as your own heart is the center of your being. The mind of  God is the source of all ideas, just as “your” mind is the source of
T4:8.12 it was the created’s response. It was your response, and since  God is both the Creator and the Created, it was God’s response as
D:14.7 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 distant from
D:16.5 end are one. Cause and effect the same. Creation is means and end as  God is means and end. Creation is cause and effect as God is cause
D:16.5 and end as God is means and end. Creation is cause and effect as  God is cause and effect. When you move from the state of becoming to
D:Day1.12 It matters not. The power of  God is not what is being spoken of here. It is our power that is
D:Day1.12 into form. The power of who we are rather than the power of who  God is.
D:Day11.5 the observed. This is as true of God as it is of the self of form.  God is the oneness and the separation. Life is the relationship. God
D:Day11.5 God is the oneness and the separation. Life is the relationship.  God is what is. Life is the relationship of what is with Its Self.
D:Day11.7 It is not man. It is the relationship that allows the awareness that  God is everything. It has been called wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is
D:Day13.4 relationship. God’s love is your love. Your love is the love of God.  God is love.
D:Day14.11 the spacious Self. God has been described as the “all knowing” for  God is the relationship. Relationship is the known. The unknown, like
D:Day17.2 God nor man but the relationship that allows the awareness that  God is everything. You have been told Christ-consciousness has also
D:Day17.3 being in union, undivided and inseparable from God, the All of All.  God is only the all-knowing because God is in everything and
D:Day17.3 from God, the All of All. God is only the all-knowing because  God is in everything and everyone. Consciousness itself is not
D:Day17.3 and everyone. Consciousness itself is not knowing but awareness.  God is the creator of knowing because God created a means of coming
D:Day18.2 also represent God and Christ-consciousness, the extension of God.  God is everything in heaven and on earth and is in everything on
D:Day22.6 same function produces the same results. No one who is in union with  God is in union with the known. Yet it is as if through this union
D:Day22.8 This awareness of union with  God is what is now within you awaiting your expression. Awareness of
D:Day22.10 You might think of yourself as a channel through which union with  God is expressed and made real here and now. There is no other time.
D:Day28.11 You and God are one.  God is not the giver and you the receiver.
D:Day30.5 known, the experience and the experiencer. The quest to join with  God is this quest. The quest to be the knower and the known, the
D:Day31.8 wholeness. For the individuated Self to experience separately from  God is to negate the purpose of the experience of the Self which is
D:Day32.5 of in such a way, it is somewhat easier to relate to God than when  God is thought of in broader terms. You might think of God as you
D:Day32.7 Another concept of  God is that of Creator. This concept might have nothing to do with
D:Day32.8 Another idea of God within the concept of a Creator  God is of God existing in all of what has been created. God is,
D:Day32.8 of a Creator God is of God existing in all of what has been created.  God is, within this concept, seen as the spirit within all that lives
D:Day32.8 and also seen as an overriding spirit, a force, a unifying factor.  God is closer, within this idea, to being a participatory being, but
D:Day32.8 Man lives and has free will. Animals abide by the laws of nature.  God is still a concept.
D:Day32.10 A concept of  God is not necessary. False concepts of God, however, are
D:Day32.11 any or all of the example lives that have come as revelations of who  God is, understand that those lives were not separate from God.
D:Day32.12 Yet to believe that  God is everyone can still make you feel as if you are not God. How
D:Day32.13 Whether  God is seen as Creator or Supreme Being, God is still seen as the All
D:Day32.13 Whether God is seen as Creator or Supreme Being,  God is still seen as the All Powerful. While God is seen as the All
D:Day32.13 or Supreme Being, God is still seen as the All Powerful. While  God is seen as the All Powerful, man is disenfranchised. Even while
D:Day32.13 God is seen as the All Powerful, man is disenfranchised. Even while  God is perhaps seen in all things, or as the spirit by which all that
D:Day32.13 seen in all things, or as the spirit by which all that lives, lives,  God is still seen as having what man has not. The list of what one
D:Day32.14 to get across. That man and God are one. Not only is man God. But  God is man and woman and child. God is.
D:Day32.14 are one. Not only is man God. But God is man and woman and child.  God is.
D:Day32.19 Would this answer your questions concerning how  God is both different and the same? Would this answer your questions
D:Day32.20  God is the being and the relationship. You are capable of all the
D:Day32.20 capable of all the power of God’s being but you are powerful only as  God is powerful—in relationship. Because God is in relationship
D:Day32.20 you are powerful only as God is powerful—in relationship. Because  God is in relationship with everything, God is All Powerful. Because
D:Day32.20 —in relationship. Because God is in relationship with everything,  God is All Powerful. Because you are in a state of limited
D:Day32.20 As you embrace holy relationship you can become powerful as  God is powerful.
D:Day35.3 in being and different in relationship, relationship is also God.  God is the relationship of everything to everything.
D:Day35.4 realizing that your being is God, that others are one with you, that  God is the relationship of everything to everything, or that you are
D:Day35.4 relationship of everything to God. Everything that is shared with  God is shared with all because God is in relationship with
D:Day35.4 God. Everything that is shared with God is shared with all because  God is in relationship with everything. It has been said that when
D:Day36.11 Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in relationship. Without relationship,  God is simply all—being. Without relationship, what is not God is
D:Day36.11 God is simply all—being. Without relationship, what is not  God is simply being—simply existing at the opposite end of the
D:Day36.15 is to be one in being with God. Accept this, for this is what  God is and what you are. This is being. To be one in being with God
D:Day36.17 and God also is given form, or is, in other words, differentiated.  God is All in All. And God is also All in One and All in Many. God is
D:Day36.17 form, or is, in other words, differentiated. God is All in All. And  God is also All in One and All in Many. God is still the Creator of
D:Day36.17 God is All in All. And God is also All in One and All in Many.  God is still the Creator of All, but God is also now the Creator of
D:Day36.17 All in One 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
D:Day36.17 the experience and the experiencer of life. Through differentiation,  God is you as you are God. God retains oneness of being and also
D:Day37.2 a supreme and separate being, why should it be difficult to see that  God is being? This is not much different than saying that the most
D:Day37.2 you is that you are being—and that the most basic truth about  God is that God is being. Yet the fact that you are being does not
D:Day37.2 that you are being—and that the most basic truth about God is that  God is being. Yet the fact that you are being does not define who you
D:Day37.6 of God. The way of heart and mind, body and soul, heaven and earth.  God is being in unity and relationship. So are you.
D:Day37.7 for distinction from God as if distinction means separation—as if  God is a separate being. If this were all this idea was, it would not
D:Day37.9 as intent as you have been on your idea of a separate and particular  God is that you want to believe that there is a compassionate being
D:Day37.9 everything, looking out for you, there to help when you are in need.  God is all compassionate being everywhere—not one being of
D:Day37.13 you are being, however, (and note here that you are being, and  God is being, and that it is not being said that either you or God
D:Day37.21  God is being in unity and relationship with everything. Thus God
D:Day37.21 being in unity and relationship with everything. Thus God knows you.  God is one in being with you because you are one aspect of
D:Day37.21 everything. As one being in unity and relationship with everything  God is one with every thought and every feeling. God is one with
D:Day37.21 with everything God is one with every thought and every feeling.  God is one with every creation. God is all knowing. God is, in short,
D:Day37.21 every thought and every feeling. God is one with every creation.  God is all knowing. God is, in short, the collective consciousness
D:Day37.21 every feeling. God is one with every creation. God is all knowing.  God is, in short, the collective consciousness and the collective
D:Day37.23 God just as Jesus was and is all of God. In union and relationship,  God is all and God is differentiated.
D:Day37.23 was and is all of God. In union and relationship, God is all and  God is differentiated.
D:Day37.27 being. The “part” of God you have not been being is union. Remember,  God is being in union and relationship. This is what God is. God is
D:Day37.27 Remember, God is being in union and relationship. This is what  God is. God is being. God is relationship. God is union.
D:Day37.27 God is being in union and relationship. This is what God is.  God is being. God is relationship. God is union.
D:Day37.27 being in union and relationship. This is what God is. God is being.  God is relationship. God is union.
D:Day37.27 This is what God is. God is being. God is relationship.  God is union.
D:Day40.13 It is not man. It is the relationship that allows the awareness that  God is everything. It has been called wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is
D:Day40.14 and the attributeless love. This is why it can be rightly said that  God is Love and Love is God. But I am also an extension of love, just
D:Day40.21  God is a relationship with love. This relationship with love is all

God within (7)

T1:10.6 You can continue to experience life and still carry the Peace of  God within you. As you live in peace you can be an example to your
T1:10.7 and you cannot partake if you are going to carry the Peace of  God within you.
T3:16.15 your new Self will create. As you live with awareness of the love of  God within you, you will see that you have no need for special love
D:Day3.36 Use me not as an intermediary. It is only in relationship with the  God within that the way will become clear.
D:Day18.2 Thus, God represents the world without. Christ-consciousness is  God within you, your particular manifestation of God and relationship
D:Day18.2 you, your particular manifestation of God and relationship with the  God within.
D:Day32.8 Another idea of  God within the concept of a Creator God is of God existing in all of

C:P.9 can lay aside the idea that to think of themselves in the light of  God’s thought of them rather than their own is arrogance. This is
C:P.25 the Christ in you, through the One who knows what it is to be  God’s child and also to walk the earth as child of man. This is not
C:P.27 the story of the human race there is a story about the coming of  God’s son, Jesus Christ, who was born, grew into a man, died and rose
C:P.27 of a man. Those who believe the story have accepted that Jesus was  God’s son before he was born, while he walked the earth, and after he
C:P.27 the example life, the life that demonstrated what it means to be  God’s child.
C:P.30 their family to begin their “own” life, so have you done as part of  God’s family. In the human family the separateness and independence
C:1.4  God’s only thought is love. It is a thought without limit, endlessly
C:1.4 without limit, endlessly creating. Because of the extension of  God’s thought of love, you exist. I exist with you in this selfsame
C:4.4 All your long search for proof of  God’s existence ends here when you recognize what love is. And with
C:4.6 into night in a long march toward death. Recognize who you are and  God’s light goes before you, illuminating every path and shining away
C:4.10 There are no losers and no winners under  God’s law. Not one is given more than another. God cannot love you
C:4.10 cannot love you more than your neighbor, nor can you earn more of  God’s love than you have, or a better place in Heaven. The mind,
C:4.16 is given returned in kind. This is a balancing act you play with  God’s most holy gift, resenting giving love that gains you little in
C:6.19 could it not encompass everything and still be what it is: home to  God’s beloved son and dwelling place of God Himself? It is because
C:8.24 To see this reality is to see the image of God you have created in  God’s likeness. This image is based on your memory of the truth of
C:8.24 God’s likeness. This image is based on your memory of the truth of  God’s creation and your desire to create like your Father. It is the
C:8.25 in separation. The thought system of God sees everything in unity.  God’s thought system is one of continuous creation, rebirth and
C:8.27 Thus your memory of  God’s creation is a memory you retain to the smallest detail, and yet
C:8.28 day you feel despair? How can it be that what was created so like to  God’s creation can be so opposite to it? How can memory so deceive
C:9.33  God’s will for you is happiness, and never has it been otherwise.
C:9.33 God’s will for you is happiness, and never has it been otherwise.  God’s creation is for eternity and has no use for time. Time too is
C:10.9 until you realize that all are good and that you cannot earn more of  God’s good graces than your brother. You will stay until you realize
C:11.8 “God given” right of independence, that which allowed you to leave  God’s side the way a child reaching the age of adulthood has the
C:11.9 body, it is easier to accept that your banishment from paradise was  God’s decision, not your own. You think you can be grateful to Him
C:11.10 the true god of the separated self. You think at times that this was  God’s mistake, the one weakness in His plan, and one that you would
C:11.10 one that you would use. At other times you think that this was but  God’s curse on you, a thing to tempt you to the life of desperation
C:12.6  God’s will for you is happiness, and of this you can be certain. To
C:12.6 happiness, and of this you can be certain. To align your will with  God’s is but to make this certain state your home. This is but a wish
C:12.8 seeks to remove all the changes you but think that you have made to  God’s creation. This change seeks but to restore you to your Self.
C:12.10 live. Although it is impossible for something to have gone wrong in  God’s creation, something has gone wrong! All you need do is look
C:12.13 once upon a time there walked upon the earth those who did reveal  God’s image, and that when they ceased to be seen here God’s image
C:12.13 did reveal God’s image, and that when they ceased to be seen here  God’s image was lost to earth forever? Could even one have come and
C:12.15 Course is saying is that at some point that does not exist in time,  God’s son made the choice for separation. Whether God’s son had one
C:12.15 not exist in time, God’s son made the choice for separation. Whether  God’s son had one form or many at that time matters not, for one form
C:12.15 not, for one form or many, there was still one mind, the mind of  God’s son joined in unity with that of his Father. Many of you have
C:12.19 this is what occurred: An idea of separation entered the mind of  God’s son. Like any idea of yours, this idea did not leave its Source
C:12.25 Now, carry this pattern forward, for the pattern of  God’s extension is the pattern of creation and thus the pattern of

C:14.1 united purpose must change to that of remembering who you are within  God’s creation, rather than in the world that you have made. Think
C:14.2 you have established in which you view yourself as the epitome of  God’s creation, you see the rest of creation as being meant to serve
C:17.18 function we have established—returning to you your identity within  God’s creation.
C:18.1 Many of you believe  God’s creation included the fall from paradise as described in the

C:P.10 Many of you desire to be “foot soldiers,” to just live the  good life without claiming glory, without having any grand ideas

C:P.19 What are  good intentions but a choice to do what you can, alone, by yourself,
C:P.19 do what you can, alone, by yourself, against great odds? This is why  good intentions so often fail to come to be at all, and why, when
C:P.19 cannot earn your way to heaven or to God with your effort or your  good intentions. You cannot earn, and will not ever feel as if you

C:4.12 Love is not being nice when you are feeling surly. Love is not doing  good deeds of charity and service. Love is not throwing logic to the

C:16.25 would want, then you, too, must abdicate your wishes for the common  good. You thus behave in “noble” ways that serve no purpose.
C:17.5 There is an underlying assumption that you know all that is  good for you to know, and that to know more is going to mean that
C:17.5 of evidence. Yet, in your estimation, the unknown cannot be fully  good or worthy of your knowing because the reason that you use is

T1:3.14 to make this final choice, this choice to leave fear behind for  good and to become who you are.
T1:7.2 accepts learning through contrast, that evil is seen in relation to  good, peace in relation to chaos, love in relation to fear. This
T1:7.2 must exist at a given time, but never both. Thus the absence of  good health is disease; the absence of peace is conflict, the absence

T2:7.13 the illusion that surrounds you. You cannot, in other words, be a  good person in a bad world. You cannot effect change without, without
T2:7.15 Giving is not only about choosing what  good and helpful parts of yourself you will share with the world. It
T2:9.12 which your needs are met creates a static level, that no matter how  good or right or meaningful, loses its creative nature by remaining
T2:11.15 is how the notion of Christ as savior arose. This is the belief in a  good self and a bad self with Christ acting as conscience and
T2:11.15 self and a bad self with Christ acting as conscience and defender of  good and the ego acting as devil and defender of evil. This is
T2:11.15 conflict that seems real to you within your world. This battle of  good and evil, while you believe in it still, will be demonstrated
T2:11.16 you may waste much time in perceived battles, valiantly fighting for  good to win out over evil. But this is not the new way and the lack
T3:2.9 There is no right or wrong in art, and there is no right or wrong, no  good or bad in regards to the self but only accurate or inaccurate
T3:3.2 source has still been the ego. These traits, whether you see them as  good or bad or somewhere in between are what you have seen as making
T3:3.3 trying. Most of you fall somewhere in between, living a life full of  good intentions and effort and being surprised neither by what seems
T3:3.9 or not, there is a part of you that still believes you are not  good enough to be the “good” self you believe this Course calls you
T3:3.9 always and eventually calls you back to the idea that you are not  good enough or that you do not want to put the effort into being good
T3:3.9 not good enough or that you do not want to put the effort into being  good enough. Like a person who believes she has a weight problem and
T3:3.10 idea of who you were. This idea was a complex set of judgments, of  good and bad, right and wrong, worthy and unworthy, a list as endless
T3:4.1 you were once bad but that by following these tenets you can become  good. It gives no credence and no blame to any past cause for your
T3:6.3 Reward is intricately tied to your notions of being  good, performing deeds of merit, and taking care of, or surviving,

T3:15.11 Thus, truth, like love, is not something that you can learn. The  Good News is that you have no need to learn the truth. The truth

T3:16.14 idea of special relationships. All of your plans to do good and be  good, to help others, and to struggle to make the world a better

T3:22.12 words, thought that this creative tension would not necessarily be a  good thing to give up. You do not know how to reach beyond what was
T4:1.20 learning through contrast—provided contrast through dissent. The  good in which one believed became the evil that another fought and in

T4:2.8 you continue to believe that a final judgment will separate the  good from the evil, you are carrying judgment.
T4:2.29 To see without judgment is to see truly. You need not look for  good or bad, but only need be steadily aware that you can only see in
T4:3.8 you will make one final judgment in which you find everything to be  good and full of love. Once all has been judged with the vision of
T4:5.12 about this now and you will see that it is true. You hoped to live a  good life and at the end of that life to know God. Your vision of the
T4:7.7 the lesson that it has come to impart to you, will return you to  good health. Your poor health is no cause for judgment, as it is the
T4:12.13 Is this not a  good example of the learned wisdom that needs to be left behind? But

D:3.6 you learned through contrast. You learned from the contrast of  good and evil, weak and strong, right and wrong. You learned from the

D:Day3.36 Learning is no longer the way for  good reason. It exemplifies the difference between information and

D:Day4.50 focus on acceptance of one thing over another. You are not to label  good or bad. Just to accept. Accept all. You do not have to hesitate
D:Day8.4 truly. Only when you have accepted how you feel do you quit labeling  good or bad; only then can you deal with anything from a place of

T3:3.9 While you continue to see the call of this Course as a call to  goodness, you will surely fail.
T3:4.3 Ideas are the foundation of the self. You cannot have an idea of  goodness without having an idea of evil. You cannot have an idea of
