wait (17) |

C:P.18 | It is the difference between wanting to know God now, and wanting to | wait to know God until you have decided you are worthy or until some |
C:9.48 | only two desires, the desire to love and the desire to be loved. Why | wait to see that these desires are all that call you to the strange |
C:10.3 | you readily embrace and others that you do not understand and would | wait awhile before implementing. What you truly do not understand is |
C:14.15 | your world love, everything that you consider valuable you could not | wait to share. Perhaps you think the desire to keep things for |
C:25.22 | way things are and were. You will want to force change rather than | wait for it to arrive. If you acknowledge your impatience as a sign |
C:26.18 | from love. And I assure you, there is no need to sit about and | wait for the time of the celebration to come. This is the invitation |
C:28.11 | is often compounded by a feeling of wondering what is next as you | wait in anticipation for a calling of some kind, so certain are you |
D:5.17 | long gone unfulfilled that now that you are close you cannot bear to | wait another day, another hour. You want release from your prison |
D:5.19 | new reality you have desired. To live as who you are in form. To not | wait for death’s release but to find release while still living in |
D:5.22 | no longer. Let your willingness exceed your trepidation. No longer | wait to be told more before you accept what you have already been |
D:5.22 | told more before you accept what you have already been told. Do not | wait for a grander call before you accept the call that has already |
D:Day3.46 | of you who would claim to know this anger not, who would claim to | wait in trusting silence for God’s provision, are still waiting for |

D:Day28.1 | must begin to face as we begin our descent from the mountain top. To | wait until level ground is reached to begin to view the choices |

C:9.9 | prepare you for. As you are prepared, you walk alongside he who has | waited for you with a single purpose instead of alongside the |
T1:9.8 | it seems there must be one to give and one to receive. You have long | waited to receive what you have thought could come only from some |
D:Day10.38 | be. Yet I know you and what you want to hear. I know you have long | waited for your feelings to be addressed in a more personal way. But |
D:Day22.5 | but a function of union. This is the very function that you have | waited to have revealed to you, the function you have known you are |

C:5.29 | What your human self has forgotten, your real Self retains for you, | waiting only for your welcome to make it known to you once more. |
C:7.23 | will allow for the possibility of a new truth to be revealed to your | waiting heart. Hold in your heart the idea that as you read these |

C:26.15 | These words the prelude to the explosion. It is as if you have been | waiting for someone to whisper: Now! The whisper has come. The time |
C:26.18 | disappointment at these words, and feel as if you have been | waiting to be invited to a party and that the invitation hasn’t come. |
C:27.12 | bidden to turn to your heart for the truth that is hidden there yet | waiting to be revealed. Your heart knows of unity and knows not any |
C:30.11 | receiving is thus never complete, and the certainty you seek always | waiting for something you do not yet have—some information, some |
T2:4.17 | as one although you recognize it not as such. It is not a process of | waiting until one thing is accomplished for another to begin. What is |
T2:4.18 | calling even though some of you may feel as if you are in a time of | waiting for you hear no such call. The call is to be who you are and |
T2:7.2 | life in ways you would not choose. Others represent the accidents | waiting to happen, love that is not returned, the withholding of |
T2:7.16 | seen as being an active one. Your attitude toward trust is one of | waiting, as if an active stance toward trust would be distrustful. |
T2:7.20 | the function of time as you know it. There is not a period of | waiting or a period of time between giving and receiving. There is |
T2:12.9 | have previously only perceived, is the relationship and the miracle | waiting to happen. As we spoke within A Course of Love of |
T3:10.3 | need to find a place where blame can be placed. You who have been | waiting to get to the “hard part” of this Course may find it here. |
D:17.10 | by expectation. To expect is to await, and you are no longer | waiting. You have arrived. You have passed through the stage of |
D:Day1.6 | arrived here and left behind the state of the initiate, the time of | waiting. You have chosen. You are merely asked now to look at what |
D:Day1.25 | so too is the story of creation. As history proceeds with gaps only | waiting to be fulfilled in current time, so too is it with the story |
D:Day3.46 | claim to wait in trusting silence for God’s provision, are still | waiting for provision. Even those of you who have asked God for |
D:Day9.22 | their sameness, or of their difference, to the world, but hold it in | waiting for such a time as the ideal is reached. |
D:Day22.10 | real here and now. There is no other time. There is no “higher” self | waiting to do what only you can do. There is no one else who knows |
D:Day25.7 | This is a time of preparation, not a time of | waiting. What you need to know now cannot be gathered except by your |

C:6.18 | that peace abides and heaven is. It is from wholeness that heaven | waits for you. |
C:19.8 | of the role I played so that you can better understand the role that | waits for you. I came in the fulfillment of scripture. All this |

waking (3) |

C:4.7 | Love alone has the power to turn this dream of death into a | waking awareness of life eternal. |
C:8.20 | as your home. There it goes again, one more time, sleeping and | waking. One more time fueling itself with energy. One more time |

C:P.20 | that the Christ in you provides the bridge that you need only | walk across to bridge the distance between heaven and hell, between |
C:P.25 | 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 your helper, as the Holy |

C:4.21 | and leaving out the rest, and here you gain the strength you need to | walk outside those doors again another day. You spend your life |
C:9.1 | more so than your mind it seems to lead you astray, forcing you to | walk through paths full of danger and treachery into the deepest |
C:9.9 | what your heart will now prepare you for. As you are prepared, you | walk alongside he who has waited for you with a single purpose |
C:10.14 | your belief in the body. To believe you are not your body while you | walk around within it is something quite different than believing in |
C:10.23 | hands go about their work or the shadow form on the ground as you | walk to and fro, you will be learning the only separation that can be |
C:10.27 | which you can “see”—your arms and legs, your shadow falling as you | walk—but more and more you will come to see the body as a whole. |
C:22.20 | simply. Go from the broad to the specific. For example, when you | walk out your door in the morning you might generally think, “What a |

T2:13.6 | Let who you are shine through the personal self who continues to | walk this world a while longer. Listen for my voice as I guide you to |
T2:13.6 | to share love. This is not such a frightening task. Let fear go and | walk with me now. Our journey together is just beginning as we return |
T3:20.6 | facts, and you begin, along with the one whom you observe, the long | walk toward death’s door. All of these actions could be called your |
T4:8.7 | you not see that you would have to learn to breathe, to speak, to | walk, much as a baby learns to do these things, and that these things |
D:4.22 | no joy and allows you not to be who you are, then you are called to | walk away. If you are tempted by a relationship in which you cannot |
D:Day2.17 | It is difficult for you to believe that by following me you will not | walk in my footsteps. Perhaps you will be granted eternal life, but |
D:Day6.2 | it is being handled in this way partially because to ask you to | walk away from your “normal” life for forty days and forty nights |
D:Day8.13 | the fear to the love that will dispel it. You are not called to | walk away in disgust, showing your righteous contempt for the actions |

C:P.27 | have accepted that Jesus was God’s son before he was born, while he | walked the earth, and after he died and resurrected. Whether this is |
C:3.6 | in you. In Jesus Christ, the Son of God became the son of man. He | walked the world with a face much like your own, a body with two legs |
C:5.32 | and your feet hardly seemed to touch the soft ground on which you | walked. This is what awaits you as you join with what you see. This |

T3:7.6 | explosion happening there. For a moment, the floorboards shook, the | walls quaked, the lights dimmed. All those within the house became |

T3:9.5 | the time of such work, for you, is past. Many remain to shake the | walls of illusion. Few stand beyond it to beckon to those within. |

C:2.9 | This forgetting is the work of your ego. Your true Self does not | want to forget, and cannot for even the tiniest fraction of a second. |

C:5.26 | to these words, the strength of your resistance. Give up what you | want? This is surely what you have expected God to ask of you and |

C:5.27 | You do | want little, and only when you realize this can you proceed to |
C:6.1 | reality before you can understand it is the only one you would | want to have. You have to forgive this reality for being different |
C:6.15 | How can I convince you that peace is what you | want when you do not know what peace is? Those who once worshiped |

C:10.31 | take the game too seriously. There will be times when you will not | want to laugh when the urge to do so comes upon you, and other times |
C:10.32 | rebel here thinking this is not what you signed on for. You just | want to read about this Course, perhaps, and not be required to take |
C:10.32 | about this Course, perhaps, and not be required to take it. You will | want to keep it theoretical and not apply it. You will ask for the |
C:13.3 | practice, however, it will soon become routine to you, for you will | want to continuously experience the pleasure that it brings. |
C:13.5 | You will soon find that what you recall of spirit is love. You will | want to give it many names at first, and might not even recognize it |
C:13.9 | you know, and let your real Self guide you gently back to where you | want to be and already are in truth. |
C:14.14 | concerns us now, for the return of love is coming and you do not | want to make the same response again. |
C:14.15 | Everything that you consider valuable you | want to keep. This makes perfect sense to you because the foundation |
C:14.19 | when you find a respite, a place of rest and beauty and of love, you | want to claim it for your own lest it get away! It too must be |
C:15.1 | of everyone, for without specialness to feed, there would be neither | want nor hunger. Without a desire for specialness there would be no |
C:15.4 | make a difference to many—or possibly even to anyone. You just | want to love your mate and children, your parents or your friends, |
C:16.2 | now why it doesn’t seem so, and the only answer is that you do not | want it to. You perceive but what you wish for, and your wish for |
C:16.9 | important it is that you listen to your heart! Your heart does not | want to see with judgment or with fear. It calls to you to accept |
C:16.21 | have no power but that which they make from their own selves. You | want power to come only through legitimate channels and do not want |
C:16.21 | You want power to come only through legitimate channels and do not | want those who have no power to possess it through the same weapons |
C:16.21 | or might that you claim make those in authority powerful. While you | want those you have given power to protect you, you also fear them, |
C:16.24 | yourself a sacrificial lamb, an offering onto God that God does not | want. You look back on stories of sacrifice from the Bible and think |
C:16.25 | not how important it is for it to be reclaimed. As good as you may | want to be, you would still go meekly through your life trying to |
C:16.25 | are only fair in deciding that if everyone cannot do what they would | want, then you, too, must abdicate your wishes for the common good. |
C:23.7 | how much you grow to love another, that love does not cause you to | want to be the other person. That love causes you to want to have a |
C:23.7 | cause you to want to be the other person. That love causes you to | want to have a relationship with the other person. This should tell |
C:23.8 | When obsessively in love you may | want the other person to be you, but rarely the other way around. |
C:24.1 | you would term emotionalism. You may feel as if everything makes you | want to cry because everything will touch you, each lesson will feel |
C:25.5 | of which you cannot help but be aware, is a signal to you that you | want something. When you become aware that you want something, you |
C:25.5 | to you that you want something. When you become aware that you | want something, you are also becoming aware that you feel you lack |
C:25.20 | a place in which to reside. It will be looking for identity. It will | want to say: “This is who I am.” This is an exciting sign, for it |
C:25.22 | but rather an impatience with the way things are and were. You will | want to force change rather than wait for it to arrive. If you |
C:26.11 | that have promised you a series of steps to take to get where you | want to go, only to realize you know not where that is? |
C:31.15 | that you are your future, your glory, your potential. You neither | want to share your most negative nor your most positive thoughts |
C:31.18 | as a way of letting go and getting rid of that which you do not | want. Some of you believe this can be done and others don’t. Those |
C:31.29 | constantly reflecting back what you think your brothers and sisters | want to see, they can learn nothing from you. If your truth about who |
T1:3.9 | choose a miracle at all, which many of you will balk at doing, you | want to choose the “right” miracle. Some of you may think through |
T1:3.11 | I do not | want to lose any of you here, but such is your fear that you can |
T1:3.22 | you do not know what miracles are and thus cannot perform them. You | want a definition first. What is an appropriate miracle? For whom |
T1:3.23 | to end so much suffering in so many places. Surely you wouldn’t | want that even if it could come to be. Indeed this would require the |
T1:10.2 | You will wonder at the lack of extremes in your feelings and | want to bring them back. You will experience this loss of extremes as |
T1:10.2 | and fully experiencing the moment. You will think this is what you | want. And I say again that it will not matter whether it be joy or |
T2:3.1 | The only difference between the life you are living and the life you | want lies in your willingness to express who you are. |
T2:7.10 | to situations you would have be different than they are. You will | want to be a change-agent. You will want to move into the world and |
T2:7.10 | than they are. You will want to be a change-agent. You will | want to move into the world and be an active force within it. These |
T2:9.4 | running smoothly and needs are being continuously met, you begin to | want to hang on to the relationships that you feel met these needs |
T2:9.10 | in order to attain something is the extent to which your belief in | want or lack is revealed. This is the purview of special |
T2:10.3 | say something such as “my brain just isn’t working right today.” I | want you now to keep this example in mind as we explore learning in |
T2:10.4 | to some and intriguing to others, how many of you would not | want to replace your ability to know with the ability of that of a |
T2:11.1 | such a way, and second in forgiving a world that has taught you to | want to be other than who you are. Now our aim is to show you how to |

T4:1.26 | the ego-self will be perceived clearly by these, and they will not | want it for their identity but only will accept it until another |

D:5.17 | you are close you cannot bear to wait another day, another hour. You | want release from your prison now, and so you should. |
D:14.3 | unity. This is why the key to unlocking the secrets of all you might | want to know before beginning the creation of the new are the ideas |
D:17.5 | Little can be had without desire. Desire, unlike | want, asks for a response rather than a provision. Desire is a |
D:17.7 | that this takes nothing from your feeling of accomplishment. You | want to share it with the whole world. From the top of the mountain, |
D:17.17 | response. Earlier it was said that desire asks for a response while | want asks for provision. What is the difference we speak of here? |
D:17.18 | preparation for future needs. This is an appropriate response to | want, but it is an inappropriate response to desire. It is an |
D:17.26 | forty nights here together, at the top of the mountain, fasting from | want, becoming aware of desire, responding to desire. This is the |
D:Day1.28 | Lay aside your | want of other answers, other stories, and accept the story we share. |
D:Day3.8 | this spiritual context is capable of bringing you the lack of | want you associate most strongly with money. |

D:Day3.28 | The condition of | want, like all conditions of learning, ended with the end of |
D:Day3.28 | of learning, ended with the end of learning. The condition of | want was a learning device—not one of divine design, but one of the |

D:Day3.59 | no longer have to learn and accept the condition of learning that is | want. |
D:Day4.13 | unity a “place” exists that is your natural state, a state free from | want, a state free from suffering, a state free from learning, a |
D:Day4.34 | that I fasted. You have been told that you are here to fast from | want. You know that you are here to experience both the old |
D:Day4.43 | wish to go back transformed into the elevated Self of form? Do you | want to know this place of access and carry it within you, or do you |
D:Day4.43 | only to have to return when you have once again become a glutton of | want, when you once again feel the lack that you would pray for? |
D:Day4.44 | either begins or is once again delayed. Here is where you say, I | want it all, desire it all, accept it all—for you cannot have of |
D:Day5.18 | Realize here that while you | want to know the specifics of how this thing called access to unity |

D:Day5.20 | tired of learning. You are tired here, after your climb. You simply | want to rest and have whatever transformation is to come to you to |
D:Day6.13 | this creative process while remaining embroiled in daily life—I | want to acknowledge the difficulty some of you will seem to be |
D:Day6.19 | you are currently experiencing is the only elevation you would | want. As within, so without is the operative phrase here. It is not |
D:Day8.8 | of who you are in the present. Not through acceptance of the way you | want to be but of the way you are now. There will be many things |
D:Day8.16 | term or word certainty as it was used in the past, but you will not | want to confuse the term and the condition. You may think that taking |
D:Day9.1 | Freedom from | want, freedom from lack, freedom from repression, are what we will |

C:15.12 | You who still fantasize that you can have it both | ways, give up your fantasy and realize that real choice lies before |
C:16.3 | familiar with the “problem” child who seeks love and attention in | ways deemed inappropriate. You know this child is no less than any |
C:16.25 | abdicate your wishes for the common good. You thus behave in “noble” | ways that serve no purpose. |
C:21.4 | mind does not need this assistance. To begin to conceptualize in | ways that touch your heart will free your mind of its reliance on |
C:21.7 | a problem of meaning. Mind and heart interpret meaning in different | ways. You do not even begin to understand the enormity of this |
C:21.7 | you that as long as mind and heart interpret meaning in different | ways you will not find peace. You have, in the past, accepted these |
C:21.7 | different interpretations as natural. You see that there are two | ways of viewing a situation, even if you do not label one way of |
C:23.12 | is critical to how you live with form. We are speaking here of | ways of thinking similar to those which you term induction and |
C:25.24 | When you are guided to act in | ways that are contrary to usual patterns of action you have taken in |
C:27.4 | The purpose of this Course has been stated in many | ways and is stated again here: The purpose of this Course is to |
C:29.11 | is to rebel against it and to seek for ease in getting it done or | ways to avoid doing it at all. Thus have your paper plates and |
C:30.11 | be secure, if you are “good” you will prosper. You do not see these | ways of thinking as ideas associated with gain and loss, but they |
C:32.1 | are. As we have stated repeatedly, the form of your world in many | ways reflects the content of who you are. It also reflects the |
C:32.4 | specific exercises are not required. This Course has succeeded in | ways you do not yet understand and have no need to understand. These |
T1:1.1 | than that of peace is conflicted by the desire for peace and the | ways in which peace is seen as being approachable. Peace is seen as |
T1:5.11 | the abolishing of the ego-mind, as stated many times and in many | ways, must now be brought to completion. |
T1:7.4 | way of learning is needed and is here. To continue to rely on the | ways of old, no matter how effective they were and no matter how much |
T1:9.4 | You are used to creating in outward | ways. One of the few exceptions to this outward creation is the act |
T1:10.3 | be tempted to give yourself over once again in this most human of | ways. You will cry and laugh for the poignancy of the human |
T2:1.2 | Treasure is most often seen in one of two | ways—as something valuable to be sought and found or as something |
T2:7.2 | those who can influence the course of your day or your life in | ways you would not choose. Others represent the accidents waiting to |
T2:9.17 | you are tempted to think that your needs can only be met in special | ways by special relationships, remember this example of holding your |
T2:9.19 | ability and a timesaving measure of great magnitude. As these old | ways of thinking leave you, you will be left as who you are in truth. |
T2:10.2 | Thinking that needs can be met only in certain | ways is akin to another belief that has been replaced. This belief |
T2:10.14 | This voice speaks to you in a thousand | ways. It is the voice of love, the voice of creation, the voice of |
T2:11.1 | for this truth. This forgiveness has now extended in two distinct | ways. First in forgiving your Creator for creating you in such a way, |
T2:11.15 | within you and you will see yourself as doing battle in countless | ways and forms. There will never actually be a battle going on |
T3:2.7 | And yet the truth has as many | ways of being represented as does illusion. |
T3:10.7 | This relates to our exercise on forgetting for you must forget the | ways in which you have formerly reacted to every situation. Not one |
T3:12.10 | self, able to express itself from within the House of Truth in | ways consistent with peace and love is the next step in creation, the |
T3:16.3 | state of knowing that for which it is you plan. These have been the | ways of creation in the thought system of the ego, ways that have |
T3:16.3 | have been the ways of creation in the thought system of the ego, | ways that have brought much advancement to the forms you occupy |
T3:16.4 | than you have ever been. While your life may not have changed in | ways that you would like and while its limitations may seem even more |
T3:19.10 | body’s response to the new thought system will be different in many | ways, none of which will lead you to feel that you have lost anything |
T3:19.11 | to be. Thus those continuing to express themselves in harmful | ways are deeply entrenched in false beliefs about themselves. Because |
T3:19.16 | It is a choice to live in truth or in illusion. There are many | ways that can still be found to come to the truth. But a way of |
T3:20.9 | While you need not act in | ways inconsistent with compassion or even verbalize your new beliefs, |
T3:20.15 | and sisters in Christ, let nothing call you to return to the | ways of old. They do not work! To minister to those within the house |
T3:20.17 | love. See not what love would not have you see. Turn from the dark | ways of illusion and shine the light of truth for all to see. Remain |
T3:21.24 | truth and to observance of the truth. That you each will do this in | ways unique to who you are must be further addressed and seen as it |
T3:22.2 | you will find the sharing of this Course to be among the easiest of | ways to share what you have learned. You will almost certainly feel |
T4:1.2 | however, be conclusive. It will separate truth from illusion in | ways that will make some uncomfortable. It will continue to challenge |
T4:2.29 | but only need be steadily aware that you can only see in one of two | ways—with love or fear. |
T4:2.31 | me in Christ-consciousness? Have you suspected that you might see in | ways literally different? That you might see auras or halos, signs |
T4:5.11 | You do not die to choice. At the time of death you are assisted in | ways not formerly possible to you in form, to make the choice to be |
T4:5.11 | you in form, to make the choice to be who you are. You are shown in | ways that the body’s eyes were unable to see, the glory of your true |
T4:9.5 | that all messages of the truth say the same thing but in different | ways. There seems to be nothing new to be said, nothing to move you |
T4:9.5 | seems to leave you ready to change and able to change in certain | ways that make life easier or more peaceful, but certainly not able |
T4:12.26 | This is akin to being stranded in a foreign land with none of the | ways you learned how to adapt in the past being of service to you. |
D:2.2 | —and you are asked to refuse to accept who you are not and the | ways of life that allowed you to live within the world as a false |
D:5.18 | You have died to the old. But surely it would seem easier in some | ways to have literally died and been released from the prison of the |
D:6.4 | you rejoice. Your true Self is beginning to reveal itself to you in | ways of which you will become increasingly aware. As you identify |

D:10.3 | you think in error and limit your expression in much the same | ways that the effort of teaching and learning limits them. It is your |
D:11.17 | self, but only illusion. Illusion can be described in many different | ways that lead to many paths of seeking, but illusion can provide no |
D:Day1.4 | does not mean the married woman will not relate to many men in many | ways, have many male friends, teachers, guides. It means that one is |

D:Day5.16 | a laying on of hands. Similarly, you might say healing is one of the | ways the healer expresses love. In truth healing and love are the |

D:Day19.8 | Each demonstrated the creative aspect of that function in different | ways. But the function remained one of direct union with God. This is |
D:Day19.11 | neither acclaim nor obscurity will matter to those following these | ways. Being true to the self and the calling of the One Self is all |
D:Day19.11 | and obscurity will be no more. But at this time of transition, both | ways are needed to demonstrate the means of coming to know, which are |
D:Day19.12 | found the self. They fear losing the known to the unknown. The two | ways of demonstration make the unknown known. One makes the unknown |
D:Day19.16 | for comparison and judgment. Thus it is realistic to see the two | ways as intertwined circles existing in support and harmony with one |
D:Day22.2 | unknown becoming known, it is important to discuss this in as many | ways as possible to make this idea clear to you. You are life, and |
D:Day22.9 | expressed here, that say so many similar things in so many different | ways, are words that are simply calling you to realization of your |

C:P.8 | of who He is. In order to end the need for learning, you must know | who you are and what this means. Where the original Course in |
C:P.9 | want it to be. This is why, while the ego remains, you cannot know | who you are. The only glory is of God and His creations. That you are |
C:P.10 | about yourselves. It is possible to do much good without recognizing | who you are, but it is impossible to be who you are, and you are what |
C:P.10 | good without recognizing who you are, but it is impossible to be | who you are, and you are what the world is for. Your recognition of |
C:P.13 | do good, a belief that clearly demonstrates that you have rejected | who you are. |
C:P.15 | By rejecting | who you are, you are demonstrating that you think you can believe in |
C:P.21 | to heaven, for your acceptance of your birthright, for you to be | who you are. |
C:P.36 | Jesus, united with the Christ in you, is he who can teach you | who you are and how to live as who you are in a new world. He can |
C:P.36 | in you, is he who can teach you who you are and how to live as | who you are in a new world. He can open heaven to you and walk you |
C:2.8 | think the opposite is true insanity. Given even your limited view of | who you are, could this really be true? |
C:2.16 | all else that you are. Thus you can know without that knowing being | who you are. You think you can love without love being who you are. |
C:2.16 | knowing being who you are. You think you can love without love being | who you are. Nothing stands apart from your being. Nothing stands |
C:4.4 | recognize as well your longing for your Self. Why would you wonder | who you are and what your purpose here is all about, if not for your |
C:4.5 | All fear is based on your inability to recognize love and thus | who you are and who God is. How could you not have been fearful with |
C:4.6 | turns endlessly into night in a long march toward death. Recognize | who you are and God’s light goes before you, illuminating every path |
C:5.9 | the right idea, yet it is so sadly displaced as to make a mockery of | who you are. Love does mark your place—but in eternity, not here. |
C:6.20 | the next as stories often will. It is but part of your awareness of | who you are, an awareness you would deny in favor of thoughts of |
C:7.7 | to freely give away. This is the only Self that holds the light of | who you are in truth, the Self that is joined with the Christ in you. |
C:7.18 | broken or full, it rests in wholeness within you at the center of | who you are. |
C:8.15 | have recognized what is not the truth. Your body is not the truth of | who you are, no matter how much it appears to be. For now, let’s |
C:8.16 | it would be the truth. If your body and what lies within it are not | who you are, you feel as if you are left homeless. This feeling of |
C:10.25 | you will realize anew that your thoughts more accurately define | who you are than your body does. Whether they wander aimlessly or are |
C:11.15 | a willingness to receive love from your Source and to be loved for | who you are. Is this so much to ask? |
C:14.1 | creation. Now your united purpose must change to that of remembering | who you are within God’s creation, rather than in the world that you |
C:14.28 | freely and without fear. In this state your memory returns to you of | who you are, and you are innocent and joyous and one with love |
C:16.23 | not their birthright. Your birthright is simply the right to be | who you are, and there is nothing in the world that has the power to |
C:16.24 | would surely call it a waste, and yet you give up your power to be | who you are and think it is just the way life is. You give away your |
C:17.1 | Being | who you are is no luxury reserved for the idle rich, or the very |
C:17.1 | luxury reserved for the idle rich, or the very young or old. Being | who you are is necessary for the completion of the universe. Without |
C:18.21 | as communion, or union of the highest level, and of remembrance of | who you are being the means by which communion can return to you. So |
C:20.28 | Power is the expression of | who you are. Because you are changeless and boundless, you are |
C:20.28 | to powerlessness. No true expression is possible until you know | who you are. To know who you are and not to express who you are with |
C:20.28 | No true expression is possible until you know who you are. To know | who you are and not to express who you are with your full power is |
C:20.28 | until you know who you are. To know who you are and not to express | who you are with your full power is the result of fear. To know the |
C:20.37 | It is not about plans. It is about moment-by-moment knowing exactly | who you are and acting out of that loving identity, and it is about |
C:20.42 | You would not be other than | who you are. You may know that this is true or you may dwell in |
C:20.42 | you know it is true or not, it is true: You would not be other than | who you are. Herein lie your peace and your perfection. If you would |
C:22.16 | Would you still be the same person in a laboratory? Are you still | who you are when another takes you into his or her mind and assigns |
C:23.22 | frees space for the new. It allows your form to reflect what and | who you are now in terms that coincide with the “you” whom you have |
C:27.10 | than singular 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 |
C:27.11 | of the relationship that is life. You are already accomplished as | who you are. All is accomplished in unity. In separation you merely |
C:27.11 | Relationship is unity, and relationship is your natural state. It is | who you are. |
C:27.13 | Living in relationship is living in love and is living as | who you are. Living in relationship is living in the present. How do |
C:30.3 | and learn in order to claim your learning for your Self. Learn | who you are through each experience rather than learning in order to |
C:30.3 | through each experience rather than learning in order to find out | who you are or what your contribution will eventually be. |
C:31.17 | But because you are in a state of unremembering, you must relearn | who you are. You can only relearn who you are by being who you are. |
C:31.17 | of unremembering, you must relearn who you are. You can only relearn | who you are by being who you are. You can only be who you are by |
C:31.17 | must relearn who you are. You can only relearn who you are by being | who you are. You can only be who you are by sharing who you are. |
C:31.17 | can only relearn who you are by being who you are. You can only be | who you are by sharing who you are. |
C:31.17 | you are by being who you are. You can only be who you are by sharing | who you are. |
C:31.18 | idea of confessing is an idea of sharing. Rather than thinking of | who you are being all tied up with sin and a need for forgiveness, |
C:31.19 | But in order to remember your Self, you need a means of learning | who you are. Everything that has ever happened in your life has |
C:31.19 | in your life has happened as a learning device to help you remember | who you are. Those things about which you feel guilt and shame are |
C:31.20 | Who you are is love, and all things brought to love are seen in a new | |
C:31.20 | light, a light that keeps what you would learn to help you remember | who you are, and in that remembrance transforms the rest, leaving you |
C:31.20 | nothing to keep hidden, leaving you with nothing but the truth of | who you are. Thus, what you give through sharing you gain in truth. |
C:31.21 | and simply become the truth that has always existed about | who you are. |
C:31.23 | everything that exists, as it lies within you. As you learn that | who you are is love, no deception is possible, and you can only be |
C:31.23 | who you are is love, no deception is possible, and you can only be | who you are in truth. |
C:31.26 | Your past has nothing to do with the truth about | who you are, except in the degree to which it has or has not helped |
C:31.26 | in the degree to which it has or has not helped you to remember | who you are. What you have learned in truth resides in your mind as a |
C:31.34 | receiving as one is called relationship. It allows you to experience | who you are and thus to know, or remember, who you are. It is in your |
C:31.34 | allows you to experience who you are and thus to know, or remember, | who you are. It is in your recognition of the truth about your |
C:32.1 | is not one aspect of it that is not designed to help you to remember | who you are. As we have stated repeatedly, the form of your world in |
C:32.1 | the form of your world in many ways reflects the content of | who you are. It also reflects the content of who you are not. It is |
C:32.1 | reflects the content of who you are. It also reflects the content of | who you are not. It is in telling the difference between the two that |
T1:2.7 | entrenched the ego-mind. To think that you could learn the truth of | who you are through these same means was the fallacy that the early |
T1:3.1 | to replace illusion with the truth so that the truth of | who you are is all that remains. |
T1:3.8 | what kind of miracle is needed to get you to change your mind about | who you are and thus about the nature of your thoughts. |
T1:3.14 | choice, this choice to leave fear behind for good and to become | who you are. |
T1:3.15 | Who you are is a miracle worker. This is not all that you are but is | |
T1:3.15 | a miracle worker. This is not all that you are but is a measure of | who you are. This is not all that you are but this is the quickest |
T1:3.15 | is not all that you are but this is the quickest means of realizing | who you are. As was said in A Course in Miracles, miracles are |
T1:4.1 | By asking you to request a miracle, I am honoring | who you are and inviting you into the state of mind that is |
T1:4.2 | all your thoughts to become the miracles that express the truth of | who you are. This Treatise will put your instruction fully under my |
T1:4.16 | a miracle is but a request to you to hear Creation’s response to | who you are. What might such a response sound like? Feel like? Look |
T1:4.18 | A response is not an interpretation. A response is an expression of | who you are rather than of what you believe something else to be. |
T1:4.19 | of situations and the feelings they have aroused have defined | who you are, think again. Be willing to apply the art of thought |
T1:5.9 | where the real Self abides. There is nothing else that will free | who you are but freedom from the ego’s thought system. That the ego’s |
T1:5.11 | and this experience is all that makes you believe you are other than | who you are. Thus the abolishing of the ego-mind, as stated many |
T1:5.14 | of God with the laws of man. Through mindfulness you will remember | who you are. Through wholeheartedness you will be who are. |
T1:7.1 | of this world because the world is seen as a world in which | who you are can never be accomplished. You have perceived this |
T1:7.1 | can never be accomplished. You have perceived this inability to be | who you are in terms of not being able to do as you would desire to |
T1:10.9 | of profound learning. You will think that you would not be | who you are now without experiences such as this one. You will think |
T2:1.4 | desire. Despite many exhortations that your purpose here is to be | who you are, you may have determined that exploring your internal |
T2:1.4 | You may well be feeling a sense of relief in having learned that | who you are right now is a being of perfection, and you may find in |
T2:1.4 | hoped to have become abilities. You think this willingness to accept | who you are now is what this Course has led you to and evidence of |
T2:2.9 | You think that what prevents you from being | who you are is far broader than this simple idea of hearing and |
T2:2.9 | a calling would indicate. You think what prevents you from being | who you are is far broader than a division between mind and heart. |
T2:3.1 | are living and the life you want lies in your willingness to express | who you are. |
T2:4.3 | to act within the world as who you think you are rather than as | who you are, you have not integrated these two pieces of learning. |
T2:4.4 | addresses. This Treatise is attempting to show you how to live as | who you are, how to act within the world as the new Self you have |
T2:4.4 | of moving on land, so too is the new way of acting out or expressing | who you are quite inconsistent with the way in which you have |
T2:4.4 | with the way in which you have formerly acted out or expressed | who you are. This is, of course, because you formerly acted out of a |
T2:4.12 | you thought would bring you fulfillment. This is about recognizing | who you are now. This is not a quick fix that calls you to what might |
T2:4.12 | are concerned with who you have thought yourself to be, not with | who you are. They do not recognize the difference between thinking |
T2:4.13 | Being | who you are is what you are called to do. You are here asked to live |
T2:4.13 | air. You are asked to live a life where there is no division between | who you are and what you do. This place of no division is the place |
T2:4.14 | now. However, to accept where you are is not the same as accepting | who you are. Accepting where you are, as if it is a static place at |
T2:4.14 | which you have arrived, is not the goal that has been set. Accepting | who you are includes acceptance of creation. The acceptance of |
T2:4.18 | in a time of waiting for you hear no such call. The call is to be | who you are and this is happening at lightning speed, a speed that |
T2:5.1 | present where response is able to be given. All call you “back” to | who you are. |
T2:5.7 | that assist you in integrating this learning and making it one with | who you are. These lessons will bring who you are into focus within |
T2:5.7 | and making it one with who you are. These lessons will bring | who you are into focus within your mind through the vehicle of your |
T2:6.6 | that presumes a future in which you will be someone other than | who you are in the present. Unity exists only in the here and now of |
T2:6.9 | world. You are changing from who you have thought yourself to be to | who you are. |
T2:7.10 | has not called you to a static state of sameness, an acceptance of | who you are that does not allow for change. But once you have become |
T2:7.10 | does not allow for change. But once you have become happier with | who you are, you will, if left un-schooled, turn your attention to |
T2:7.11 | prevent this is your ability to go out into the world and remain | who you are. This relates to giving and receiving being one in truth |
T2:7.13 | to do good. This is not about doing good works. This is about being | who you are and seeing the truth rather than the illusion that |
T2:7.16 | from who you truly are. Real trust requires the discipline of being | who you are in every circumstance and in every relationship. Real |
T2:7.18 | Who you are cannot be denied in favor of who you “will be.” Needs | |
T2:7.19 | The discipline required to be | who you are is a discipline that requires trust in Self and honesty |
T2:7.21 | simply an aspect of your identity and accepted as the nature of | who you are in truth. |
T2:8.1 | are special. Your loyalty must be totally to the truth of | who you are and not continue to be split by special relationships. |
T2:8.2 | ground on which you now stand. All that prevents you from being | who you are within these relationships must be let go. All that will |
T2:8.2 | within these relationships must be let go. All that will complement | who you are must be received. Thus the nature of many relationships |
T2:8.3 | While your dedication to the goal of being | who you are may at first seem selfish, it will soon be revealed to be |
T2:8.3 | form of relationship. Relationship based on anything other than | who you are is but a mockery of relationship. The calls that come to |
T2:8.3 | as signs and demands will not only aid you in your realization of | who you are and your ability to live as who you are, but will aid all |
T2:8.3 | you in your realization of who you are and your ability to live as | who you are, but will aid all others. This is giving and receiving as |
T2:8.4 | and but take the form of honesty for a brief time as the truth of | who you are is revealed to you and through your relationships to all. |
T2:8.6 | A Course of Love that the truth does not change. Thus the truth of | who you are has not changed and you are as you were created. Form and |
T2:8.6 | behavior are, however, subject to change, as are your expressions of | who you are. This distinction must be fully realized here in order |
T2:8.6 | must be fully realized here in order for you to accept the truth of | who you are and to come to an acceptance of the unchangeable nature |
T2:8.6 | realm of the already accomplished. This is home. Your expression of | who you are may lead you to many new adventures but never again to |
T2:8.6 | your true Self. Never again will you be away from home for home is | who you are, a “place” you carry within you, a place that is you. |
T2:9.11 | you have arises. This is true of knowledge, or what you know, and of | who you are, just as much as it is of special relationships and what |
T2:9.19 | As these old ways of thinking leave you, you will be left as | who you are in truth. |
T2:10.10 | The learning you are in need of is the learning that will call | who you are back to your united mind and heart. This is the knowing |
T2:10.14 | you to move through each day and all the experiences within it as | who you are in truth. It releases you from the feeling of needing to |
T2:11.1 | is how you were created and how you remain. This is the truth of | who you are and even, in your own terms, a fact of your existence. |
T2:11.1 | Earlier this was pointed out to you so that you would come to accept | who you are and so that you would extend forgiveness to yourself and |
T2:11.1 | in forgiving a world that has taught you to want to be other than | who you are. Now our aim is to show you how to integrate the belief |
T2:11.2 | Even though you no longer want to be other than | who you are, and even though you now have a much clearer |
T2:11.2 | are, and even though you now have a much clearer understanding of | who you are, you will find living as who you are in the world |
T2:11.2 | a much clearer understanding of who you are, you will find living as | who you are in the world difficult as long as you perceive of others |
T2:11.16 | to both identities the world will not change and you will not know | who you are. You may think you know, and you may waste much time in |
T2:12.6 | the end for the need of miracles. For as you live in the world as | who you are, you become a miracle and the constant expression of the |
T2:12.11 | the ego would tell you that you are, it still would thwart you being | who you are through its denial of the relationships essential to that |
T2:12.13 | one with you so that they enable you to live and express and act as | who you are in every moment and in every circumstance. Let these |
T2:12.13 | brothers and sisters. Let this way of living be the expression of | who you are and all that you now remember. Let this remembrance grow |
T2:13.6 | is of the ego. Drape your persona in a mantle of peace and joy. Let | who you are shine through the personal self who continues to walk |
T3:1.1 | personal self again and present to others a true representation of | who you are. |
T3:1.4 | personal self becomes a representation of the truth it will become | who you are in truth. |
T3:1.6 | under the ego’s direction, still allowed for bits and pieces of | who you are to be seen, felt and acknowledged. |
T3:1.8 | will be acknowledged as what it is and as the truth of | who you are, to erroneously have seen your former representation of |
T3:1.8 | have seen your former representation of illusion as the truth of | who you are is what has led to your perception of the world of |
T3:2.1 | in relationship. They are not expressions that remain contained to | who you are or who you think yourself to be. They are not expressions |
T3:2.6 | behind. It is only this one, unaltered Self that is the truth of | who you are and who your brothers and sisters are as well. This is |
T3:3.8 | to the new life that calls to you. You can only get there by being | who you are in truth. |
T3:3.10 | The Self that I recognize as You, is not other than | who you are, but who you are. All that was ever other than who you |
T3:3.10 | The Self that I recognize as You, is not other than who you are, but | who you are. All that was ever other than who you are was the ego. |
T3:3.10 | than who you are, but who you are. All that was ever other than | who you are was the ego. The ego is gone. The ego was simply your |
T3:4.6 | it not make sense that the only error possible is that of not being | who you are? |
T3:7.2 | to the truth. Since 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 |
T3:7.4 | You are | who you are and remain endlessly who you are, even here within the |
T3:7.4 | You are who you are and remain endlessly | who you are, even here within the human experience. This is the idea |
T3:7.5 | within the human experience that made you incapable of representing | who you are in truth was the ego. The only thing within the human |
T3:7.5 | the ego gone, you are perfectly capable of representing the truth of | who you are and returning to an existence that is meaningful. |
T3:7.6 | You have formerly been capable of representing | who you are only within illusion for this was the abode in which you |
T3:11.16 | the thought system of the truth, that having remembered the truth of | who you are, you are called to forget the personal self who would |
T3:12.8 | choice that was made for the human experience, the choice to express | who you are in the realm of physicality. You were not “better” or |
T3:12.8 | the result of fear, some the result of love. The choice to express | who you are in physical terms was not a choice made of fear but made |
T3:13.1 | our new purpose, that of the miracle that will allow you to exist as | who you are in human form, we may proceed unencumbered by any doubt |
T3:13.2 | the peace of God draw you from the state in which you are aware of | who you are, and so cause you to be aware only of a self of human |
T3:14.3 | if you refuse to live by what you know—if you refuse to live as | who you are. |
T3:14.5 | of good news you may have forgotten: You would not be other than | who you are. This is a key idea that will help you immeasurably in |
T3:14.5 | your old thought system was based, you still would not be other than | who you are. What this means to the learning stage you are at now is |
T3:14.5 | them to be other than who they are. There is nothing wrong with | who you are! |
T3:15.17 | While you would not be other than | who you are, who you are is not limited to the concept of human being |
T3:15.17 | While you would not be other than who you are, | who you are is not limited to the concept of human being nor to the |
T3:16.8 | the world as The Accomplished and cease struggling to be other than | who you are in truth. This struggling to be other than who you are in |
T3:16.8 | be other than who you are in truth. This struggling to be other than | who you are in truth is a temptation of the human experience. It will |
T3:16.15 | of love’s embrace. If you but live by the idea that representing | who you are in truth will create a new heaven on earth, you can lay |
T3:17.6 | But again let me remind you that the Holy Spirit is not other than | who you are but an aspect of who you are and Who God Is. Let me |
T3:17.6 | that the Holy Spirit 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 |
T3:18.3 | serve our new purpose of the miracle that will allow you to exist as | who you are in human form. See what perfect sense this makes as your |
T3:18.4 | Expressing | who you are in physical form will return remembrance to the minds of |
T3:19.11 | to arise from bodily temptations. Although you will now represent | who you are in physical form in a new way, you can still see that |
T3:19.14 | moved to believe that they mean anything at all about the nature of | who you are. This is why no more time can be wasted and why so many |
T3:20.4 | you that the miracle is the most effective way of convincing you of | who you are. |
T3:20.11 | to be lived by. Not because you desire an outcome, but because it is | who you are and because you realize you can no longer be, live, or |
T3:20.11 | you realize you can no longer be, live, or think as other than | who you are in truth. This is how thorough your learning must be. It |
T3:20.17 | ways of illusion and shine the light of truth for all to see. Remain | who you are and continue to live by the laws of love in every |
T3:21.12 | or talent developed is seen as part of your identity, as part of | who you are. |
T3:21.13 | You think of these things as part of what make up the totality of | who you are, of your personal self. |
T3:21.19 | purpose, the purpose of the miracle that will allow you to exist as | who you are in human form. How, you might rightly ask, can you cease |
T3:21.24 | of the truth. That you each will do this in ways unique to | who you are must be further addressed and seen as it relates to the |
T3:22.4 | Since your personal self was always meant to represent the truth of | who you are, the seeds of who you are, are planted there, right |
T3:22.4 | was always meant to represent the truth of who you are, the seeds of | who you are, are planted there, right within the self you have always |
T3:22.4 | been within you, however, a creative tension between accepting | who you are and becoming who you want to be. This tension will |
T4:2.7 | accomplished than anyone has been or is or will be. The truth of | who you are is as accomplished as the truth of all of your brothers |
T4:2.15 | of this Course, you are not other than whom you have always been. | Who you are now was there when you were a child, and there in all the |
T4:3.5 | effort that has continued the cycle of fear. To have to try to be | who you are and to express who you are is the result of the |
T4:3.5 | the cycle of fear. To have to try to be who you are and to express | who you are is the result of the displacement of the nature of love |
T4:5.9 | It is thus probable that you will use your free will in order to be | who you are. But it is not guaranteed! It is your choice and your |
T4:5.11 | upon the death of your human form. When you die, you do not die to | who you are or who you think you are. You do not die to choice. At |
T4:5.11 | ways not formerly possible to you in form, to make the choice to be | who you are. You are shown in ways that the body’s eyes were unable |
T4:8.14 | of expansion and enrichment of your being. If it is only in sharing | who you are through expression of who you are that you come to know |
T4:8.14 | being. If it is only in sharing who you are through expression of | who you are that you come to know who you are, then this is true of |
T4:8.14 | who you are through expression of who you are that you come to know | who you are, then this is true of God as well. God could not be the |
T4:8.16 | only instance in which this is the truth is in regards to learning | who you are. |
T4:9.4 | and desire. Now is the time to move out of the time of becoming | who you are to the time of being who you are. |
T4:9.4 | to move out of the time of becoming who you are to the time of being | who you are. |
T4:10.11 | now ready to do. Learning was what was necessary in order to know | who you are and how to express who you are. No longer learning, or |
T4:10.11 | what was necessary in order to know who you are and how to express | who you are. No longer learning, or being accomplished, is synonymous |
T4:10.11 | longer learning, or being accomplished, is synonymous with knowing | who you are and the ability to express who you are in truth. |
T4:10.11 | is synonymous with knowing who you are and the ability to express | who you are in truth. |
T4:10.14 | about who you were and who others were, but you cannot learn anymore | who you are or who those are who have joined you in |
T4:10.14 | are who have joined you in Christ-consciousness, for you have become | who you are and move on from this starting point to creating who you |
T4:10.14 | become who you are and move on from this starting point to creating | who you are anew in unity and relationship. You can learn from the |
T4:12.10 | the release of this idea will make in your capacity to express | who you are. As long as you continue to invite learning, you will |
T4:12.34 | sense when you realize that creation, like God, is not “other than” | who you are? How could creation proceed on to the new without you? |
D:1.26 | identity cannot be taught but is the condition necessary for being | who you are and the realization that learning is no longer necessary. |
D:2.2 | and effect are one. You are asked to accept or receive the truth of | who you are and the revelations that will show you how to live as who |
D:2.2 | of who you are and the revelations that will show you how to live as | who you are within the world—and you are asked to refuse to accept |
D:2.2 | who you are within the world—and you are asked to refuse to accept | who you are not and the ways of life that allowed you to live within |
D:2.4 | of this pattern will but interfere with your full acceptance of | who you are in truth. |
D:2.6 | have now completed, learning that has revealed the true nature of | who you are, your inability to realize your completion and claim your |
D:2.19 | world without. These systems were attempts to learn the nature of | who you are through external means—the means of learning the nature |
D:3.12 | receiving are one in truth. A shared consciousness is the truth of | who you are. The elevation of the personal self, however, requires |
D:3.13 | Helping you to achieve full awareness of | who you are is different than helping you to learn. As was said |
D:4.6 | I tell you truthfully that until you are living as | who you are and are doing what you love, you are in prison. This |
D:4.20 | keep you safe. Do not seek someone to tell you anew what to do with | who you are now that you are no longer a prisoner. Do not give keys |
D:4.22 | living by doing work that brings you no joy and allows you not to be | who you are, then you are called to walk away. If you are tempted by |
D:4.22 | security, and are called to turn away. If you are lured away from | who you are by a drive to succeed, if you fear doing what you want to |
D:4.31 | fully accept that your right to your inheritance, your right to be | who you are, and your commitment to the Covenant of the New, are one |
D:5.8 | The ego but seemed to be who you were for a time. Now that you know | who you are in truth, the ego does not remain, a separate entity with |
D:5.11 | acceptance of what is given. All was given to you to remind you of | who you are in the time of learning that is now passing away. Thus |
D:5.11 | return to being as it was intended and will represent the truth of | who you are. This true representation, being of the truth, returns |
D:5.19 | as what it is. This is the new reality you have desired. To live as | who you are in form. To not wait for death’s release but to find |
D:6.22 | it is also the form that is now serving to represent the truth of | who you are. How might this change the “laws” of the body, the laws |
D:7.6 | in other words from the state in which there is no division between | who you are and what you do. “Right” action comes from the state of |
D:7.17 | self of form. It is a step toward full acceptance and awareness of | who you are now and what this means as you become the elevated Self |
D:8.4 | time of learning as coming from the content of the wider circle of | who you are to infiltrate the dot of the body, or, conversely, as the |
D:9.3 | You continue to think that your desire to know | who you are calls you to think about who you are and in that thinking |
D:9.3 | think that your desire to know who you are calls you to think about | who you are and in that thinking to come up with a definition of who |
D:9.3 | who you are and in that thinking to come up with a definition of | who you are, a truth of who you are, a certainty about who you are. |
D:9.3 | thinking to come up with a definition of who you are, a truth of | who you are, a certainty about who you are. You have been led to see |
D:9.3 | definition of who you are, a truth of who you are, a certainty about | who you are. You have been led to see that this desire has always |
D:9.4 | But you have thought about this desire to know | who you are in one way or another all of your life without reaching |
D:9.6 | it remains the truth, can now be presented in a way that speaks to | who you are now rather than who you were when you began A Course of |
D:11.6 | now no longer serves you? If you reach a state of full acceptance of | who you are, and in that state, fully accept that your contribution |
D:11.11 | and prevents it from going from being an ability to simply being | who you are, is your thoughts—thoughts that need an explanation for |
D:11.13 | give evidence of who I am because they give evidence that I know | who you are. That these words give evidence that I know who you are |
D:11.13 | that I know who you are. That these words give evidence that I know | who you are and that they give the same evidence to your brothers and |
D:11.13 | that I know who they are, will tell you something of the nature of | who you are if you but let this idea dwell within you and take up |
D:13.2 | those who remain in a separate state except through the sharing of | who you are and who you know others to be. There are two issues of |
D:13.11 | those who remain in a separate state except through the sharing of | who you are and who you know others to be. All this means is that |
D:13.12 | is what negates the need for such intermediary functions. By being | who you are, and seeing others as who they truly are, you create the |
D:14.12 | of birthing new aspects of the self, all without becoming more fully | who you are. |
D:16.1 | are now in the final stage of the state of becoming. You now know | who you are, and so now you can begin the work, or the relationship |
D:16.1 | work, or the relationship of this final stage: The stage of becoming | who you are. This is the stage in which movement, being, and |
D:16.9 | without allowing spirit to move you, without allowing yourself to be | who you are, without allowing for self-expression. You might think |
D:16.10 | the New”, that “Now is the time to move out of the time of becoming | who you are to the time of being who you are,” it was not said that |
D:16.10 | to move out of the time of becoming who you are to the time of being | who you are,” it was not said that this time of becoming was |
D:16.13 | you can create a new world. The new you is the elevated Self of form | who you are in the process of becoming. This time of becoming is the |
D:16.13 | the movement, being, and expression of unity, you are being | who you are. At other times, you are becoming who you are. |
D:16.13 | unity, you are being who you are. At other times, you are becoming | who you are. |
D:16.15 | form; that times still exist in which you are not wholly present as | who you are. |
D:16.16 | When you are not wholly present as | who you are, you are experiencing, still, the image or after-image of |
D:16.16 | you are, you are experiencing, still, the image or after-image of | who you are. This image is like a lingering shadow. It encompasses |
D:16.17 | as in clay, or a reflection, as in a mirror. It is as removed from | who you are as is the picture of an ancestor or a landscape that |
D:16.20 | you are not fully here, not whole, not complete. You are at times | who you are, but you also are, at times, but an image of who you have |
D:17.14 | now no longer serves you? If you reach a state of full acceptance of | who you are, and in that state, fully accept that your contribution |
D:Day1.3 | Without your acceptance of who I am, you will not fully accept | who you are. Without your willingness to achieve this acceptance, you |
D:Day2.21 | is symbolic of the idea put forth here that until you are aware of | who you are, your life has not literally or symbolically begun. |
D:Day4.27 | To know the basic truth of | who you are—that you are a being who exists in unity rather than in |
D:Day4.27 | the access that you seek. As all that exists in truth, the truth of | who you are is means and end as well. |
D:Day4.29 | longing and desire. For this access is not a tool but a function of | who you are. This access is, like breathing, something that is |
D:Day4.53 | love, you will have realized there is nothing unacceptable about | who you are except fear. |
D:Day5.14 | of union that your Self will come to wholeness and you will be fully | who you are and able to express love fully. |
D:Day5.17 | Who you are now, what your desires are, and where your talents have | |
D:Day5.17 | or one specific type of idealized holy person. Union is being fully | who you are and expressing fully who you are. This is the miracle, |
D:Day5.17 | holy person. Union is being fully who you are and expressing fully | who you are. This is the miracle, the goal, the accomplishment that |
D:Day6.11 | there is no distinction between Creator and created. You are being | who you are right now and eliciting the expression that will take you |
D:Day6.30 | growth of your ability to do whatever you do peacefully and to be | who you are in any situation in which you find yourself. There is no |
D:Day6.31 | through you as you allow for and accept where you are right now and | who you are right now. |
D:Day8.2 | normal, ordinary, life into extraordinary life. Loving exactly | who you are and where you are in every moment is what will cause the |
D:Day8.8 | acceptance—not acceptance of the way things are, but acceptance of | who you are in the present. Not through acceptance of the way you |
D:Day8.10 | specific action but it will lead to action that is consistent with | who you are when you are fully comfortable in your acceptance of who |
D:Day8.10 | who you are when you are fully comfortable in your acceptance of | who you are. Understand, however, that this eventual outcome will |
D:Day8.13 | your righteous contempt for the actions of others, but to accept | who you are within the relationship of that present moment. |
D:Day8.14 | will find yourself adhering to a standard rather than acting from | who you are. You will, in fact, have returned to judgment because you |
D:Day8.17 | you are—for only by doing so will you come to full acceptance of | who you are and be able to allow the Self of unity to merge with the |
D:Day8.22 | forth that feeling. It is in the expression of that feeling that | who you are is revealed, not in the feeling itself. The feeling is |
D:Day8.28 | you to expression of your true Self! To true representation of | who you are—who you are now! |
D:Day8.28 | of your true Self! To true representation of who you are— | who you are now! |
D:Day9.15 | called the future. As with all messages of the ego, it but says that | who you are is not good enough. |
D:Day9.25 | the givens that combined create the wholeness and the holiness of | who you are. A creator who desired only sameness would not have |
D:Day9.25 | form that is perfect for your expression of the beauty and truth of | who you are. You cannot express the beauty and truth of who another |
D:Day9.25 | truth of a future self. You can only express the beauty and truth of | who you are now, in the present. And you do. You just have not |
D:Day9.27 | has been able to keep you from expressing the beauty and truth of | who you are. You came into the world of form incapable of not |
D:Day9.27 | world of form incapable of not expressing the beauty and truth of | who you are. That you are is an expression of beauty and truth. You |
D:Day9.27 | expression of beauty and truth. You express the beauty and truth of | who you are by being alive. It has only been your inability to accept |
D:Day9.27 | In a certain sense, your ability to express the beauty and truth of | who you are has been taught out of you by learning practices that |
D:Day9.30 | and the will to fan the flames of your desire to be, and to express, | who you are in truth. |
D:Day16.7 | feelings, rather than your thoughts about your feelings, reflect | who you are, and that by acting on them, you will act in accord with |
D:Day16.7 | who you are, and that by acting on them, you will act in accord with | who you are and thus in accord with the universe. The reintegration |
D:Day16.10 | anger, and all else that you feel because these feelings are part of | who you are in the present moment. When you remain in the present |
D:Day17.3 | the time, once again, for you to claim your identity. Although being | who you are has been discussed in many ways, many of you still await |
D:Day17.3 | discussed in many ways, many of you still await being different than | who you are. This is because you realize that being your true Self is |
D:Day19.1 | a way of living as the ultimate accomplishment. You see living as | who you are in the world as the accomplishment that is needed from |
D:Day19.4 | Being content is being fulfilled by the way in which you express | who you are—by the way you express your content—your wholeness. |
D:Day19.5 | The ultimate accomplishment is living as | who you are within the world. But in what kind of world? This is the |
D:Day19.6 | lies in the simple statement of as within, so without. By living as | who you are in the world, you create change in the world. You create |
D:Day23.1 | Forget not that | who you are is what you are here to make known and thus you must be a |
D:Day27.8 | lose its dualistic seeming nature and become as intrinsic to | who you are as is breathing. In this same way, the dualistic seeming |
D:Day27.13 | That you are | who you are and that you have always been the accomplished is a |
D:Day27.13 | and an aspect of wholeness. The variability of how you experience | who you are is also a constant within the aspect of separation. Merge |
D:Day29.1 | God and man, life and the individuated self, what you do and | who you are, the eternal and the temporal, joy and sadness, sickness |
D:Day29.4 | reality in which you exist. Another way of saying this is bringing | who you are into wholeness, which can be interpreted both as bringing |
D:Day29.7 | reality. It is linked with your notion of who and where you are, for | who you are and where you find yourself, and experience yourself, are |
D:Day33.5 | that make up your world appeal. It is in your response that | who you are being is revealed. |
D:Day33.7 | You might think of being as what you are, and responding as | who you are. You have been told that these words are being given to |
D:Day33.10 | way that you can do this is by always knowing and never forgetting | who you are. You are being in relationship: The creator of events as |
D:Day33.10 | this is so. It is when you know that this is so, and you also know | who you are, that you know with certainty that the only response is |
D:Day33.14 | power of being. The power to individuate the Self. The power to be | who you are. This is power and the source of power. This is the force |
D:Day35.20 | to create in unity and relationship, you will do so by simply being | who you are being, just as you have “created” during the time of your |
D:Day36.19 | together is coming to an end and your acceptance of the truth of | who you are and who you can be is essential to the accomplishment of |
D:Day36.19 | stands in the way of your creatorship is your final acceptance of | who you are in unity and relationship. |
D:Day37.2 | that God is being. Yet the fact that you are being does not define | who you are any better than the earlier example of your experiences |
D:Day37.2 | any better than the earlier example of your experiences would define | who you are, because being, by itself, does not differentiate or |
D:Day37.3 | separate being, you only relate to other separate things. In short, | who you are being is all predicated, first and foremost, by the |

D:Day37.18 | can find great joy in feeling “as if” someone knows how you feel and | who you are. But you have felt doomed to never being known and to |
D:Day38.13 | Who I Am to you, and | who you are to me, is all that matters. Our relationship can only be |
D:Day39.3 | extension of I Am into form. Through your extension, you can become | who you are to me, instead of who I have been to you. |
D:Day39.30 | celebrity, intellect? Then these things have become the content of | who you are. Science, money, fame, celebrity, intellect or any other |
D:Day39.34 | will you carry with you now that you know that I Am is who I am and | who you are? What memory has this Course and this Dialogue returned |
D:Day39.36 | Who Am I to you? Only | who you are to yourself. Now it is time for you to be not who you |
D:Day39.36 | Now it is time for you to be not who you have been to yourself, but | who you are, and have been, to me. |
D:Day39.37 | Here is where we must return to paradox, to knowing | who you are and who I Am and to constantly discovering who you are |
D:Day39.37 | to knowing who you are and who I Am and to constantly discovering | who you are and who I Am, because who you are and who I Am are the |
D:Day39.37 | I Am and to constantly discovering who you are and who I Am, because | who you are and who I Am are the same being in the constant creative |
D:Day39.38 | This is a time of knowing | who you are and who I Am while at the same time, holding, or |
D:Day40.1 | union, you complete a circuit, a circle of wholeness, and I become | who you are to me. Thus giving and receiving are one. Cause and |
D:Day40.2 | All that being is was extended into | who you are. |
D:Day40.6 | of your being, what you might call your personality or even | who you are. As has been said before, you saw these attributes of |
D:Day40.8 | You extend your being into form. That form then becomes. It becomes | who you are. Both beings and thus both extensions are the same. The |
D:Day40.15 | to you am I God. Only in your relationship to me are you | who you are in truth. |
D:Day40.16 | or son, husband or wife, sister or brother, friend or foe? You are | who you are in relationship. I Am who I Am in relationship as well. |
D:Day40.17 | You would perhaps beg to differ now, and ask of me, “Are you not | who you are ‘separately’ from relationship?” Separately from |
D:Day40.18 | beg to differ here, and say that regardless of what I say, you are | who you are outside of your relationships. You are not just the |
D:Day40.25 | now, as you contemplate leaving behind who you have been for being | who you are to me? |
D:Day40.26 | yesterday’s discussion of who I Am to you and today’s discussion of | who you are to me, that one has not been discussed without the other. |
D:Day40.27 | I Am everything being love? This is not the same as saying you are | who you are in relationship to your mother, and your mother who she |
D:Day40.27 | who she is in relationship to you. This is saying that you are | who you are in relationship to all that is love. This is saying that |
D:Day40.27 | are in relationship to all that is love. This is saying that this is | who you are and that this is who I Am. |
D:Day40.28 | Further, this is saying that | who you are being in relationship to all that is love is up to you. |
D:Day40.28 | knowing being to all that you are in relationship with, you extend | who you are. This is saying that through the application of your |
D:Day40.29 | Who you are being in union and relationship with me, is me, as well | |
D:Day40.30 | gift of all. It is the end of becoming and the beginning of being | who you are. With this gift comes the ability to be known and to |
D:Day40.34 | to level ground—to the place of completion and demonstration of | who you are being? |
E.2 | gone, never to be asked again. Why? Because now that you are being | who you are in unity and relationship, these questions will make no |
E.9 | desire arises, into all-being. Mainly you will enjoy being—being | who you are. You will be happy. You will be content. And you will |
E.14 | You will no longer need to “think” about | who you are and what you will do, and your willingness to give up |
E.20 | Do not be afraid now to be | who you are. Do not think you need to be something different, |
E.22 | If you will but let it come, you will see that you are being | who you are being for a reason, for a purpose, a purpose that will be |
E.22 | will be so clear to you that you will joyously accept yourself for | who you are being. So be it. |
A.14 | You begin to trust and as you begin to trust you begin to extend | who you are. True giving and receiving as one begins to take place. |
A.40 | exchange between “two or more gathered together” reveals. It reveals | Who You Are. |
A.42 | in The Dialogues. You have entered the final stages of revelation of | Who You Are. When Who You Are is fully revealed you will realize that |
A.42 | You have entered the final stages of revelation of Who You Are. When | Who You Are is fully revealed you will realize that it is time to |
A.42 | you will realize that it is time to leave the classroom and live as | Who You Are in the world. You will realize that your participation in |
A.42 | the world. You will realize that your participation in the world as | Who You Are is part of an on-going dialogue, and that it is an |
A.43 | now will be your relationship to this work that has returned you to | Who You Are? Your relationship to this work continues as you live and |
A.43 | Your relationship to this work continues as you live and express | Who You Are being in the world. For some of you this may mean |
A.44 | For each, being | Who You Are will be an expression of unity and oneness that only you |
A.49 | given and the gift you bring the world: your own voice, the voice of | Who You Are. This is not a voice of separation or of the separated |

C:P.5 | The world as a state of being, as a | whole, has entered a time, brought on largely by A Course in |
C:6.4 | we are not separate. God created the universe as an interrelated | whole. That the universe is an interrelated whole is no longer |
C:6.4 | as an interrelated whole. That the universe is an interrelated | whole is no longer disputed even by science. What you have made to |
C:6.18 | brow to change the world: it takes only love. A forgiven world is | whole, and in its wholeness one with you. It is here, in wholeness, |
C:7.18 | of your heart. Your heart already sees in a manner much more | whole than the perception of your split mind. Even your language and |
C:9.38 | accomplished. You believe that by putting various parts together a | whole can be achieved. You speak of balance, and try to find |
C:9.45 | you to use the things that you have made in ways that benefit the | whole, and this is the distinction between proper and improper use, |
C:9.49 | for. Instead of recognizing your union, a state in which you are | whole and complete because you are joined with all, you have |
C:10.2 | obliteration of one thing to make another—joining makes each one | whole, and in this wholeness one with all. This union has never |
C:10.27 | as you walk—but more and more you will come to see the body as a | whole. You will see it from behind as you follow it about its day, |
C:17.14 | the space in the universe that is yours and has become part of the | whole along with you. All that has proceeded from fear is nothing, |
C:17.17 | this: heart and mind are not separate. A united mind and heart is a | whole heart, or wholeheartedness. You may ask then why this Course |
C:18.3 | part of what has established and keeps a universal order, part of a | whole that would be a completely different whole without your |
C:18.3 | order, part of a whole that would be a completely different | whole without your presence, just as the universe would be a |

C:20.39 | All fear that what is good for one may not be good for the | whole is replaced by an understanding that each one is worthy of his |
C:20.47 | personal relationships, you are separating yourself from the | whole. These concerns are a matter of perception, and are things your |

C:31.9 | and your own Self as Creator and Created. Being part of the | whole that is your known universe has made you and no other being |
C:31.9 | and no one argues this point, yet you allow yourself to resist the | whole idea of God because you believe that what is one cannot also be |

T1:4.10 | concerns associated with the survival of the body, they will miss a | whole aspect of concerns associated with keeping others other. You |
T1:5.7 | The | whole of life could in fact be seen as the illusion of an in-between |
T2:4.1 | is not an aspect of this world alone. Creation is an aspect of the | whole, the all of all, the alpha and the omega, eternity and |
T3:1.11 | you presented to others in the past was a chosen self and never a | whole self as evidenced by the variety of selves you saw yourself to |
T3:1.12 | To become a | whole Self, with no parts hidden, a Self with no parts in truth, is |
T3:16.17 | the truth builds upon itself and forms a real and true interrelated | whole. What forms the House of Truth is love eternal and it has |
T4:2.30 | see each person and event as separate, with no relation to the | whole. You are beginning to see the connections that exist and this |
T4:5.2 | can express yourself within the relationship of unity that is the | whole of the choir and the orchestra. So that you can realize your |
T4:5.8 | the heart that beats. Your finger does not act independently of the | whole. You might say that your finger does not, then, have free will. |
T4:5.8 | then, have free will. It cannot express itself independently of the | whole. |
T4:5.9 | is true of you! You cannot express yourself independently of the | whole! It is as impossible as it would be for the finger to do so. |
T4:12.4 | addresses you individually and as part of the collectivity of the | whole. This dialogue will, however, be ongoing, and this is your |
D:4.2 | and alone, you are now called to see no more. In unity you are | whole and inseparable, one living organism now raised above the level |
D:6.26 | to join with the Self in the unity of shared consciousness. You are | whole once again and your form will merely represent one aspect of |
D:7.6 | what you do. “Right” action comes from the state of wholeness. Being | whole is being all you are. Being all you are is what the elevated |
D:7.9 | The content of all living things is, in other words, | whole. By seeing only aspects of wholeness you have not seen content |
D:11.15 | a contribution such as this? Is not your unique expression of the | whole enough for you? Is it not infinitely greater than the |
D:12.19 | than you. Union includes you, just as the All of Everything, the | whole of wholeness, the one of oneness, include you. We are, in |
D:13.5 | What comes of unity is in union and thus is | whole. Therefore the knowing that will be coming to you will be given |
D:13.9 | mark of your perspective, and that is why partial truth is never the | whole truth, and why the whole truth is the only truth. |
D:13.9 | and that is why partial truth is never the whole truth, and why the | whole truth is the only truth. |
D:14.12 | a recognition that what you are is not complete, has not yet become | whole, has not been fully birthed. Your forms are complete in the |

D:17.7 | from your feeling of accomplishment. You want to share it with the | whole world. From the top of the mountain, arms outstretched, this |
D:Day2.3 | a new “haunting” to some of you. Your life is being seen more as a | whole now. The parts are fitting together. You can see how you have |

D:Day10.13 | self is a mental construct, and not a simple mental construct but a | whole set of thoughts, beliefs, and mental pictures. |
D:Day14.4 | as one’s own and held within the spaciousness of the One Self, the | whole Self. |
D:Day14.14 | your access to unity, the manifestation, in form, of the healed and | whole and thus spacious Self. |
D:Day15.15 | other and benefited from its healing properties. To heal is to make | whole. To make whole is to become the spacious Self. To become the |
D:Day15.15 | from its healing properties. To heal is to make whole. To make | whole is to become the spacious Self. To become the spacious Self is |
D:Day16.10 | expel, project, and separate. If you respond with love you remain | whole. You realize that you have no feelings that are bad. You |
D:Day16.16 | the spacious Self embraces them with love, the spacious Self will be | whole, for it will embrace everything—as love, which is everything |
D:Day27.9 | nature can be experienced as different levels of experience of one | whole. You might consider this by again picturing the mountain-top. |

D:Day28.24 | of all that we have talked about will begin to fit together. A | whole will form within your mind much as if you have been following a |

D:Day30.2 | denominator is found. The common denominator is not by itself the | whole, but is, in combination, the whole. In order for a common |
D:Day30.2 | denominator is not by itself the whole, but is, in combination, the | whole. In order for a common denominator to be found, more than one |
D:Day30.3 | is to name. “In the beginning” the separate expressions of the | whole were named. This naming was an act of creation, stating simply |
D:Day33.7 | is being said is that being and relationship are of one piece, one | whole, and that whole is love. In other words, every relationship, |
D:Day33.7 | is that being and relationship are of one piece, one whole, and that | whole is love. In other words, every relationship, everything that |
D:Day37.11 | just as the numbers of simple mathematics remain, one with the | whole. You have seen yourself as capable of being divisible from that |
wholehearted (39) |

C:18.18 | You do not realize what a | wholehearted choice in regards to experiencing separation did. |
C:19.4 | but it is still heaven because heaven must be where you are. A | wholehearted choice to abandon all ideas of glorifying the separated |
C:19.7 | for it to be fulfilled. It is not the means that are lacking but the | wholehearted desire. |
C:21.9 | not change. While only you can determine meaning, and while only a | wholehearted approach will determine true meaning, the truth is the |

T1:1.2 | of what to look for as your learning continues, or how to identify | wholehearted responses from those of a split mind. Its further |
T1:2.12 | is referred to here as the “art” of thought in order to call your | wholehearted attention to the continual act of creation that is the |

T2:4.6 | back to your real Self. It requires remembrance, trust, and a | wholehearted approach that allows the body, mind and heart to act in |
T2:4.6 | approach that allows the body, mind and heart to act in unison. This | wholehearted approach is the condition from which unity is |
T2:4.8 | given. The other set recognizes that something has been asked. The | wholehearted response is one that recognizes that giving and |

D:17.12 | That response is | wholehearted desire, which is the power that A Course of Love came to |
D:17.12 | of Love came to return to you. You were told within this Course that | wholehearted desire for union would return union to you and return |

C:I.11 | of the One Heart. We are one heart. We are one mind. Joined in | wholeheartedness we are the heaven of the world. We replace |

C:18.16 | rules, and mind and heart are one. We will proceed by calling this | wholeheartedness rather than mind or heart. |
C:18.18 | a wholehearted choice in regards to experiencing separation did. | Wholeheartedness is but a full expression of your power. A full |
C:19.7 | a pure yearning—untainted by fear and judgment and approached with | wholeheartedness—for it to be fulfilled. It is not the means that |
C:19.12 | without the reunion of mind and heart that produces the state of | wholeheartedness. This state was not achieved at all times by all |

C:25.15 | it is putting into practice the lessons of joining mind and heart in | wholeheartedness. |

C:I.7 | in form that accepts oneness and union, to a humanity restored to | wholeness, is through the heart of the mind. |

C:6.18 | world is whole, and in its wholeness one with you. It is here, in | wholeness, that peace abides and heaven is. It is from wholeness that |

C:7.13 | is joined cannot be parceled out and scattered, but must remain in | wholeness. What is joined resides in peace and knows no grievance. |
C:7.17 | that is specific and not generalizable. All relationship exists in | wholeness. The small examples used earlier were meant to help you |
C:7.18 | your image of your brain. Let this image go and concentrate on the | wholeness of your heart, no matter how you view its current |
C:7.18 | condition. Be it wounded, bleeding, broken or full, it rests in | wholeness within you at the center of who you are. |
C:7.20 | center that you will come to understand that relationship exists in | wholeness. We have begun to dislodge your idea that you stand |
C:8.4 | here, wears no faces, and bears no symbols. It is a memory of | wholeness, of all to all. |
C:8.13 | Do you see now why unity and | wholeness go hand in hand? Why you cannot withhold a piece of |
C:8.13 | would you withhold for? And whom would you withhold from? Unity is | wholeness. All for all. |
C:8.15 | does not abide in it and nor do you. Separate bodies cannot unite in | wholeness. They were made to keep wholeness from you and to convince |
C:8.15 | Separate bodies cannot unite in wholeness. They were made to keep | wholeness from you and to convince you of the illusion of your |
C:9.37 | What is missing in you is found in another and together a sense of | wholeness is achieved. |
C:9.38 | Again this is but a distortion of creation. You remember that | wholeness is achieved through union, but not how to accomplish it. |

C:10.3 | What you truly do not understand is wholeness. All things exist in | wholeness, including the thought system that you made to protect the |

C:17.17 | your learning as we move to wholeness. The first move toward | wholeness is but to understand this: heart and mind are not separate. |
C:18.5 | if it is just an illustration, it illustrates that none of us leave | wholeness or each other. |
C:18.8 | that cannot take you away from the internal world where you exist in | wholeness, a link in the chain of creation. Imagine again this chain |
C:20.12 | into the embrace, the source of all beginnings, the kernel and the | wholeness of all life. The whole exists untroubled by what it will |
C:20.20 | Is it possible to have a concept of | wholeness, of all, and for it not to exist? And how could it exist |
C:20.26 | a peace that implies an absence but a peace that implies a fullness. | Wholeness is peaceful. Only separation creates conflict. |
C:25.21 | the whole. Comprehension of the whole is aided by a return to | wholeness of the Self. Until wholeness of the Self is complete, |
C:25.21 | of the whole is aided by a return to wholeness of the Self. Until | wholeness of the Self is complete, discernment is necessary. |
C:27.14 | happening. It looks past perception of “others” to relationship and | wholeness. To live in relationship is to live in harmony even with |

C:29.14 | No | wholeness will be possible for you while you look at life in terms of |

C:31.30 | because you are seeking to complete yourself. You are seeking | wholeness. And you are even correct in seeking it from your brothers |
T1:1.2 | While A Course of Love has led you to a state of | wholeness of mind and heart, or wholeheartedness, your realization of |
T1:9.12 | you need to free you from the ego’s reign, you have turned toward | wholeness. In the same way that embracing both the male and female |
T1:9.12 | male and female attributes within you causes a merging of both and a | wholeness to be achieved, so too does a wholeness then come about |
T1:9.12 | a merging of both and a wholeness to be achieved, so too does a | wholeness then come about with conception and action, inspiration and |

T1:9.16 | different attributes are merged, male and female will be no more and | wholeness will reign. |
T4:2.22 | with God, just as you separated yourself from relationship with the | wholeness of the pattern of creation. You have believed in God and |
D:4.14 | how you live arises. The truth is a system of thought. It exists in | wholeness and has always been available. |
D:4.29 | it is a life of meaning and purpose. This return is the return of | wholeness. This return is not selfish on your part, but magnanimous. |
D:4.29 | This return is not selfish on your part, but magnanimous. It returns | wholeness to you and wholeness to the divine design. It returns |
D:4.29 | on your part, but magnanimous. It returns wholeness to you and | wholeness to the divine design. It returns creation to what it is. |
D:6.26 | once again and your form will merely represent one aspect of your | wholeness in the field of time. |
D:7.6 | who you are and what you do. “Right” action comes from the state of | wholeness. Being whole is being all you are. Being all you are is |
D:7.9 | living things is, in other words, whole. By seeing only aspects of | wholeness you have not seen content nor matter truly. You have not |
D:7.14 | with the separated self. Now, because your relationship is with | wholeness, you can transfer love from the particular to the universal |
D:8.11 | where all you desire is already accomplished in the fullness and | wholeness of the undivided Self. |
D:8.12 | of no division, the place of shared consciousness, the place of | wholeness. The natural ability that you recognize as a given and |
D:12.19 | you. Union includes you, just as the All of Everything, the whole of | wholeness, the one of oneness, include you. We are, in unity, one |
D:13.5 | the knowing that will be coming to you will be given in a state of | wholeness. You have previously learned of everything in parts and |
D:13.5 | particulars. While you are perfectly capable of coming to know in | wholeness, a way that is actually natural to you, it will seem so |
D:14.10 | is not. Learning took place in parts in an effort to lead to | wholeness. Discovery comes to you in wholeness. So these steps are |
D:14.10 | parts in an effort to lead to wholeness. Discovery comes to you in | wholeness. So these steps are not about parts or levels but about the |
D:14.17 | This | wholeness of being is what lies beyond body and mind, form and time. |
D:15.6 | however, separate principles, but a single unifying principle of | wholeness: Movement, being, expression. One did not occur before the |
D:15.6 | which is why these principles of unity must be seen as the undivided | wholeness of the principle of unity before creation of the new can |
D:16.1 | movement, being, and expression come together into the recreation of | wholeness that will be expressed in the elevated Self of form. |
D:16.2 | of creation moves inevitably to join with the accomplishment and | wholeness that already exist in unity. Creation occurs in each of us, |
D:16.2 | is the extension or expression of that identity into the creation of | wholeness in form. |
D:16.3 | is to be empty. Empty is the opposite of full, the opposite of | wholeness. It is the perceived condition of lack. It is the belief |
D:16.4 | You can be an expression of being and yet not express the | wholeness of being. This is a description of the state of becoming. |
D:16.6 | than it is an attribute. This is because love remains in eternal | wholeness. Love cannot be learned, and so has stood apart from the |
D:16.7 | All of All because it is whole and rests in eternal completion and | wholeness. Love is the state of unity, the only relationship through |
D:16.8 | expression of God, of Love, of Creation—through the extension of | wholeness—into the seemingly separate identities of form. The way |
D:16.10 | happening to you. Creation’s purpose, creation’s cause and effect is | wholeness and the continuing expression of wholeness. While it was |
D:16.10 | cause and effect is wholeness and the continuing expression of | wholeness. While it was said in “A Treatise on the New”, that “Now is |
D:17.19 | to move into the state of communion with God, full oneness with God, | wholeness. |
D:Day1.25 | joining together of all of the parts of the creation story into the | wholeness of the story’s end. As a story is seen to move from one |
D:Day1.29 | end of the story that is to be fulfilled, brought to completion and | wholeness in you and in me, so that together we bring about the |
D:Day4.54 | the Self of unity. You are about to achieve your first glimpse of | wholeness, of oneness with God. To know the truth of your inheritance. |
D:Day5.14 | be in your unique expression of union that your Self will come to | wholeness and you will be fully who you are and able to express love |
D:Day9.25 | or inspired ideas, but all the givens that combined create the | wholeness and the holiness of who you are. A creator who desired only |
D:Day10.17 | unity. This was purposeful. Now, however, you are asked to return to | wholeness, a state in which you are not separate from me or from the |
D:Day14.1 | as the sick, the chaos and the peace. Thus we heal now by calling on | wholeness, accepting the healed self’s ability to be chosen while not |
D:Day14.6 | power. Your power is the power of the many and the one that exist in | wholeness within the spacious Self. |
D:Day15.10 | thus the joining of the self with the spacious Self in oneness and | wholeness must precede this step. This power cannot be misused |
D:Day15.21 | you through the exchange of dialogue. While you are asked to promote | wholeness and the sustainability of Christ-consciousness with others |
D:Day16.6 | been rejected or ejected. All that has been expelled is part of the | wholeness of the self. As what was ejected or rejected and became |
D:Day16.9 | fully aware of the present. The present is the time of no time, | wholeness, where all that is real and all that was ever real exists. |
D:Day17.8 | in the sense that all the given components are necessary for | wholeness. Representation of the power of Christ-consciousness in |
D:Day18.2 | ways are rather complementary and symbiotic. Together they return | wholeness and will bring about the completion of the time of Christ. |
D:Day19.4 | you express who you are—by the way you express your content—your | wholeness. Those who use their gifts to create the truth they see are |
D:Day24.2 | What is unaltered remains unaltered despite its many manifestations. | Wholeness exists in every cell, in each of every smallest particle of |
D:Day24.2 | in every cell, in each of every smallest particle of existence. | Wholeness exists in you. Nothing can take wholeness from you. It is |
D:Day24.2 | particle of existence. Wholeness exists in you. Nothing can take | wholeness from you. It is as natural to you as it is to all of |
D:Day24.4 | you allow your potential to be released, your true nature in all its | wholeness will be revealed. |
D:Day24.5 | in other words, a necessity for each step in the accomplishment of | wholeness, even while wholeness has always existed as potential. Do |
D:Day24.5 | for each step in the accomplishment of wholeness, even while | wholeness has always existed as potential. Do not forget, however, |
D:Day24.5 | has always existed as potential. Do not forget, however, that | wholeness has always existed, that potential is that which exists, or |
D:Day27.12 | The degree of your separation from | wholeness can be seen much as the degree of separation between hot |
D:Day27.12 | of separation between hot and cold. If you were to perceive of | wholeness as an ideal temperature, you might think for a moment, just |
D:Day27.12 | of separation that you chose. Because you never chose union, or | wholeness, you did not experience lack of body temperature or the |
D:Day27.12 | kind of temperature is thus a constant. A constant is an aspect of | wholeness. A variable is an aspect of separation. The constant does |
D:Day27.13 | you have always been the accomplished is a constant and an aspect of | wholeness. The variability of how you experience who you are is also |
D:Day27.14 | practice in order to move toward an experience of variability within | wholeness rather than within separation. It can be done. |
D:Day27.15 | form will be the expression of new life lived within the constant of | wholeness but continuing to experience the variability of separation. |
D:Day27.16 | self, have always been variables that exist within the constant of | wholeness. What you have experienced, however, has not been wholeness |
D:Day27.16 | of wholeness. What you have experienced, however, has not been | wholeness or the experience of wholeness, but the experience of |
D:Day27.16 | experienced, however, has not been wholeness or the experience of | wholeness, but the experience of separation. What we are speaking of |
D:Day27.16 | separation. What we are speaking of now is being able to experience | wholeness and the variability of experience that has come through the |
D:Day28.8 | was most recently spoken of, that of apprehending the new reality of | wholeness. It is not wholeness that is new, but the reality of |
D:Day28.8 | of, that of apprehending the new reality of wholeness. It is not | wholeness that is new, but the reality of wholeness that is new. The |
D:Day28.8 | of wholeness. It is not wholeness that is new, but the reality of | wholeness that is new. The reality of being able to experience the |
D:Day28.8 | to experience the variability of separation from within the state of | wholeness is what is new. |
D:Day28.12 | This is | wholeness. |
D:Day28.18 | moved out of the realm of separation and into the realm of union or | wholeness, new conditions will apply. This is why it has been said |
D:Day28.22 | To move to internally directed experience is to make the move into | wholeness that will cause the “shift of the ages,” the experience of |
D:Day28.22 | cause the “shift of the ages,” the experience of variability within | wholeness. |
D:Day28.24 | As you move toward | wholeness, all the pieces of all that we have talked about will begin |
D:Day28.24 | The thread represents your own journey to truth, your own journey to | wholeness. |
D:Day29.1 | sight of concepts of duality—where they cease to be real for us. | Wholeness and separation, God and man, life and the individuated |
D:Day29.1 | this same, simultaneous way. If you can integrate all that opposes | wholeness into one level of experience, you will be able to |
D:Day29.1 | you will be able to experience life from within the reality of | wholeness rather than from within the reality of separation. |
D:Day29.3 | final joining, the joining that will end duality and return you to | wholeness—to who you truly are—in the reality in which you truly |
D:Day29.4 | you exist. Another way of saying this is bringing who you are into | wholeness, which can be interpreted both as bringing all that you are |
D:Day29.5 | It is your access to two levels of experience—the experience of | wholeness and the experience of separation. While you may have seen |
D:Day29.6 | also been part of the process and part of the experience of merging | wholeness and separation. While you may have seen it as a new means |
D:Day29.7 | find a place in which it could become the common denominator between | wholeness and separation. Once you experience yourself in wholeness |
D:Day29.7 | between wholeness and separation. Once you experience yourself in | wholeness and find yourself in union, you have made of yourself the |
D:Day29.7 | the common denominator upon which experience can find anchor in | wholeness and union. |
D:Day30.1 | the whole. Just as simple fractions can be added together to achieve | wholeness once a common denominator is found, your own fractiousness |
D:Day30.1 | a common denominator is found, your own fractiousness can yield to | wholeness through the common denominator of the self. A common |
D:Day30.1 | of the self. A common denominator is simply that which yields to | wholeness. This yielding is a natural process. To yield is to give |
D:Day30.2 | is to translate what is more than one into one. An assumption of | wholeness is “common” in every denominator. |
D:Day30.3 | simply the existence of what was named or denominated. Existence and | wholeness are the same. Thus your existence, the existence of the |
D:Day30.3 | the existence of the self, is, or can be, a common denominator of | wholeness. In our act of saying it is so, we name or denominate the |
D:Day30.3 | saying it is so, we name or denominate the Self as what is common to | wholeness. Despite unlimited variations being available, commonality |
D:Day30.3 | no matter how fractious are the separate selves, commonality and | wholeness always exist and have always existed. |
D:Day30.4 | Wholeness cannot be achieved without joining, thus the commonly known | |
D:Day30.4 | two or more are needed in order for knowing to occur. To not know | wholeness would be to be in a state of nothingness. Thus the joining |
D:Day30.4 | nothingness. Thus the joining of two or more are needed in order for | wholeness to be known and thus to exist as a state of conscious |
D:Day30.5 | follows then, that to not experience joining is to not experience | wholeness. Stated another way, the self cannot know the Self without |
D:Day31.3 | joining is the point of the experience and the key to experiencing | wholeness. |
D:Day31.4 | As has already been stated, | wholeness could not be experienced without division. Wholeness and |
D:Day31.4 | been stated, wholeness could not be experienced without division. | Wholeness and oneness are the same. You are one in being with your |
D:Day31.7 | By knowing the One in the many, experience can be achieved within | wholeness. |
D:Day31.8 | from the Self. Self and God are one and experiencing together in | wholeness. For the individuated Self to experience separately from |
D:Day31.8 | of what is is the Source of union and the ability to experience in | wholeness. |
D:Day34.1 | same continuum as are hot and cold, darkness and light. Seeing in | wholeness includes seeing the opposites that seem to exist at these |
D:Day34.4 | rather than the difference of being in relationship—the | wholeness of being in relationship rather than the separation of |
D:Day35.6 | the power to call upon the mountain top experience and the view of | wholeness we have achieved here. You will carry it within you, and |
D:Day35.16 | Creation itself, which stands apart from particulars but united with | wholeness, has led to this time of opposites becoming one and |
D:Day35.16 | with wholeness, has led to this time of opposites becoming one and | wholeness becoming actual rather than probable. Wholeness is actual. |
D:Day35.16 | becoming one and wholeness becoming actual rather than probable. | Wholeness is actual. All that is left to be created is awareness that |
D:Day35.18 | from all others. Thus what you have “created” has stood apart from | wholeness. What is not created in unity could be said to have been |
D:Day39.6 | of individuation in union and relationship. This is the beginning of | wholeness. What you strive for here is revelation. For only through |
D:Day39.41 | in you is that which, upon this final acceptance, returns your | wholeness to you. |
D:Day40.1 | of your being into union, you complete a circuit, a circle of | wholeness, and I become who you are to me. Thus giving and receiving |
A.44 | in unity and relationship, creation of the new will proceed and | wholeness and healing renew the world in which you live. |

C:9.48 | as only two desires, the desire to love and the desire to be loved. | Why wait to see that these desires are all that call you to the |
C:10.20 | back longingly at times of happiness and wonder what went wrong and | why you could not maintain that happy state. There might be many |
C:10.20 | that comes with its loss you will wonder, at least briefly, | why the choice for practicality needed to be made. Yet if the |
C:10.25 | as you conduct your experiment in detachment from the body. This is | why we conduct this experiment. Whether you term yourself successful |
C:11.3 | that those who would instruct you know more than you now know, and | why you begin each new course of learning by feeling as if you have |
C:11.13 | Your protectiveness of your free will is | why we must separate willingness from your perception of free will. |
C:12.1 | If I were to say you know not of this sophisticated term and this is | why you have believed in your separation rather than in your unity |
C:12.8 | Uncertainty of any kind is doubt about your self. This is | why this Course aims to establish your identity, for from it all the |
C:14.6 | if a creation such as this could contain any reason whatsoever. | Why then do you believe in it? |
C:14.25 | This is | why this Course cannot just talk of love and bring you any closer to |
C:16.2 | You may ask now | why it doesn’t seem so, and the only answer is that you do not want |
C:16.10 | on its own apart from what your mind would bid it do, and this is | why you fear it even while you yearn for it. This is what the split |
C:16.22 | power on your side turn not to your own power, and then you wonder | why those most spiritual, both currently and historically, seem to |
C:16.22 | elsewhere. Your perception but looks at power backward and wonders | why God has forsaken a people who seem to be so godly. |
C:17.5 | the reason that you use is loyal to the world you see. This is | why even Heaven, which you would label good, is not wholly good in |
C:17.5 | you would label good, is not wholly good in your estimation of it. | Why is it not wholly good? Because you have defined it as lacking |
C:17.12 | See you now | why those who judge cannot enter heaven? Judgment proceeds from the |
C:17.17 | and heart is a whole heart, or wholeheartedness. You may ask then | why this Course has treated them as separate parts of you. This is |
C:18.12 | time are needed before change of a lasting nature can occur. This is | why miracles save time, for they integrate all levels, temporarily |
C:19.4 | The solution lies in transformation, and that is | why you are still needed here. Beneath the world of illusion that you |
C:19.10 | order and relearn communion, the language of the heart. This is | why you have been asked to experience the spirit of your brothers and |
C:19.14 | This is, in essence, | why the greatest thinkers have not been able to decipher the riddle, |
C:19.14 | been able to decipher the riddle, the mystery, of the divine, and | why they conclude that God is unknowable. God is knowable from within |
C:19.14 | all needs are fulfilled the instant they become needs, which is | why there are no needs. If everything you need has been provided, |
C:19.15 | Philosophy applies thought to mystery and that is | why philosophy becomes such a muddle of words. It is difficult for |
C:23.12 | If form is an extension of belief you can see | why what you believe is critical to how you live with form. We are |
C:25.18 | You will see little in what you do that matters. You will wonder | why you are unconcerned about many of the things you have been |
C:25.24 | You will soon learn that this is so. You will also soon realize | why this time of engagement with life is necessary. Experience is |
C:26.20 | you can hear. There is no mold, no form, no stock answer. This is | why all answers have disappointed you in the past. Your answer is not |
C:27.1 | be fulfilled when the only answer to life seems to be death? This is | why and how my death and resurrection provided an answer and an end |
C:27.4 | purpose cannot be underestimated. Let us address the question of | why this is so important. |
C:27.12 | think in terms of singularity rather than in terms of unity. This is | why this Course has not concentrated on your thinking. Again you are |
C:28.10 | that is not human in origin. Knowing is alien to you, and that is | why you seek validation. Each validation is seen and felt as a |
C:29.7 | this goal for all, for all are one in me and one in unity. This is | why you have no need to concern yourself with anything other than |
C:30.11 | then that” nature is thinking in terms of gain and loss. This is | why we have worked to leave thinking behind. This belief in gain and |
C:31.13 | to the thoughts of a split mind you are devoted to nothing. This is | why so many attempts at understanding fail. Trying to come to |
C:31.13 | is impossible. Impossible learning goals lead to depression. This is | why we must learn anew with a mind and heart joined in |
C:31.18 | and sharing being about some need to confess, think a moment about | why you are worried. The idea of confessing is an idea of sharing. |
T1:3.5 | discounted one by one. And yet you dare not try to live without it. | Why? Because of the thoughts of the ego-mind. The ego-mind is |
T1:3.9 | as you think through this question. Can you remove all fear from it? | Why should it be that fear is what you encounter? The bigger the |
T1:5.1 | Why, when a God of Love was revealed so long ago and in so many times | |
T1:5.9 | the truly real, but is actually present within the illusion. This is | why all seeking must turn within, toward the heart where the real |
T1:5.12 | This is | why I have asked you to choose the manner in which you would be once |
T1:6.1 | The thought system of the ego-mind is a learned system and this is | why it can be unlearned. The thought system of the truth is always |
T1:7.6 | This is | why we must speak now of being human in a new way. We must reconcile |
T1:9.6 | Let us consider | why birth has been the purview of women and males have been incapable |
T1:10.12 | lessons are needed? What quiet knowing cannot come to you in peace? | Why would you believe you can learn from the turmoil of extremes what |
T1:10.13 | This is what you have believed and | why you have not chosen yet to accept your inheritance. Yet let the |
T2:2.1 | Why would we begin “A Treatise on Unity” by talking of treasure? To | |
T2:4.5 | be likened to trying to move within water as you would on land. | Why, when moving freely through the water would you suddenly try to |
T2:4.18 | This is | why you do not have to “wait” to hear your calling even though some |
T2:10.1 | is not occurring within it. This is a living Course. This is | why you are called to live it rather than to take it. This is why you |
T2:10.1 | is why you are called to live it rather than to take it. This is | why you are called to be a teacher and a learner both. This is how |
T2:10.11 | Why, then, is this called learning? Learning simply means to come to | |
T2:10.15 | that the Christ in you is in need of learning. Think a moment of | why this should be so. Is there ever a moment in which coming to know |
T2:11.7 | This is | why we spent a fair amount of time addressing needs in a way we had |
T2:12.7 | upon the same power of intercession that is the miracle. This is | why we also devoted a fair amount of this Treatise to a discussion of |
T3:2.11 | for you to have done so. How many times have you asked yourself | why you would have chosen separation if there had not been a reason |
T3:2.11 | 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 paradise |
T3:8.1 | a worthy goal and many of you have reached this power. You can see | why this power has been necessary and continues to be necessary. But |
T3:8.8 | of suffering you would, but to try and fail is too heartbreaking. | Why should you not be bitter when you and all of those you love will |
T3:8.8 | you and all of those you love will surely suffer and eventually die? | Why should you not be bitter when you believe you are powerless? How |
T3:8.11 | was found. If what was looked for were means of making life easier, | why not the idea of machinery and tools that would seem to do so? If |
T3:8.11 | looked for was a means of finding simple pleasures in a harsh world, | why not ideas of entertainment that would seem to provide them? |
T3:8.11 | that would seem to provide them? People suffering from disease: | Why not cures for those diseases? |
T3:8.12 | have looked for what they have imagined it was possible to find. | Why would you look for an end to suffering if you felt this was |
T3:10.16 | This is | why we have called these lessons in forgetting practical lessons for |
T3:11.14 | are not being asked to see anything that is not the truth. This is | why the word see is consciously used here and why we now refrain from |
T3:11.14 | not the truth. This is why the word see is consciously used here and | why we now refrain from use of the word perceive. Perception is gone |
T3:14.7 | This is precisely | why you must choose not to keep the life of discomfort caused by |
T3:14.11 | has been mighty. The choice now is not a choice to explore the | why behind it or to look for remedies for the past. The choice now is |
T3:14.12 | and neither the present nor the future can be built upon it. This is | why we have spent so much time unlearning and why we continue with |
T3:14.12 | built upon it. This is why we have spent so much time unlearning and | why we continue with lessons of forgetting. |
T3:14.13 | Resurrection or rebirth must be total to be at all. Can you see | why you cannot hang onto the past? The new cannot have historical |
T3:14.13 | onto the past? The new cannot have historical precedents. This is | why you have been assured that what you are called to is a life so |
T3:15.14 | ideas about new beginnings have simply been used to demonstrate | why you cannot approach this new beginning as you have those of the |
T3:17.1 | Why would you ever have chosen to obscure the truth? As we have | |
T3:17.2 | and all other things in creation that existed with the self. This is | why the story of creation includes the naming of creatures. It was |
T3:18.2 | truth, will now accept and learn from observable truth. This is | why you must become that observable truth. |
T3:19.14 | they mean anything at all about the nature of who you are. This is | why no more time can be wasted and why so many are being called in |
T3:19.14 | nature of who you are. This is why no more time can be wasted and | why so many are being called in the strongest manner it is possible |
T3:20.6 | can be “fought.” You are likely to hear questions concerning | why the illness or suffering has come to be and to hear or offer |
T3:20.8 | illusion call for the same response, the response of love to love. | Why think you it is loving to believe in suffering? Do you not begin |
T3:21.21 | and far more than the oceans that separate east from west. This is | why this call to return to your Self is being sounded far and wide |
T3:21.21 | this call to return to your Self is being sounded far and wide and | why it goes out to humble and ordinary people like yourself. There is |
T4:1.6 | Why, you might ask, is a word such as chosen used, when many other | |
T4:1.13 | If an end to suffering and fear has been possible, and is possible, | why has it not come to be? Why has it not been known? What could |
T4:1.13 | fear has been possible, and is possible, why has it not come to be? | Why has it not been known? What could possibly make you believe it |
T4:2.4 | I came as a representation or demonstration of The Way. This is | why I have been called “The Way, The Truth and The Light.” I came to |
T4:2.7 | are more or better than any other is not speaking the truth. This is | why we began with the chosen and will return again and again to the |
T4:2.19 | This is | why it has long been stated that you are not called to evangelize or |
T4:2.29 | mean, and do not yet recognize it when you experience it. This is | why you can still think of observance of what is as a game of make |
T4:3.12 | was and become the new nature of the created. There is no reason | why the original nature of your being cannot become a being the |
T4:3.12 | nature of which is form if you so choose it to be. There is a reason | why the original nature of your being cannot exist in a form |
T4:4.9 | This is | why this Treatise is called “A Treatise on the New.” There has not |
T4:4.9 | the inheritance of God the Father was accepted, save by me. This is | why this time is spoken of as the time of fullness. It is the time |
T4:6.1 | is a part of the consciousness that is Christ-consciousness. This is | why you hear differing reports of the afterlife from those who have |
T4:6.1 | the afterlife from those who have experienced temporary death. It is | why you hear differing words and scenarios attributed to me and other |
T4:7.5 | This is | why all fear, including the fear of death, needs to be removed from |
T4:7.5 | cannot sustain Christ-consciousness while judgment remains in you. | Why? Because it is not in the nature of Christ, it is not in the |
T4:7.8 | full variety of the human experience even after it is unnecessary. | Why? Because it is a choice, pure and simple. But because it is an |
T4:8.16 | of there being nothing you do not know about something. This is | why you study subjects—so that you can come to this completion and |
T4:9.1 | Learning is not meant to last. This is | why even this coursework comes to an end. It comes to an end here and |
T4:11.1 | The future is yet to be created. This is | why I stated at the onset of this Treatise that this Treatise would |
T4:12.7 | written word will be less necessary. In the meantime, let me explain | why these written words are not the acts of an intermediary and why |
T4:12.7 | why these written words are not the acts of an intermediary and | why they represent direct learning. |
T4:12.10 | in unity. Learning is a condition of the separated self, which is | why it is no longer needed. You will not fully realize unity while |
T4:12.14 | Why was this so? You eagerly awaited each learning challenge in the | |
T4:12.17 | we shall! We are creators of the new and we must start somewhere. | Why not here? |
D:3.7 | aspects of life that were needed in the time of learning. This is | why we began quite truthfully and simply with an acceptance of the |
D:3.8 | address your true nature as a being existing in union, and this is | why we call them ideas to carry forward. These are new ideas to you |
D:3.17 | This is | why I will often repeat that I am no longer your teacher. You must |
D:4.18 | Self is all that learning was for. Let us not dwell any longer on | why this has taken so long or on the suffering that occurred during |
D:6.2 | learning passes. The thought reversal of which we recently spoke is | why I bring this up. During your time of learning, I used a method of |
D:6.27 | in “time” although they are already accomplished in unity. This is | why we have spoken of miracles and of the collapse of time the |
D:7.16 | what is in time. Your envisioning too is bound to time and that is | why so many of you think of envisioning as envisioning the future. |
D:7.21 | way in which the body has participated in creation. This is | why you have been told that you are not called to evolution. |
D:9.1 | and a greater means of imprisonment than bars and walls. They are | why you do not see what is and are the reason that you continue to |
D:9.8 | Treatise on the Art of Thought”. If thought is what imprisons you, | why would the “art of thought” be taught? You must continually |
D:11.15 | its unique expression, through the elevated Self of form. | Why would you retain your desire to make an individual contribution, |
D:12.6 | This is | why we work now on your awareness and acceptance of your changed |
D:13.9 | you also do not come to the knowing of the state of unity alone. | Why then would you think that you could come to full expression of |
D:13.9 | expression will bear the mark of your perspective, and that is | why partial truth is never the whole truth, and why the whole truth |
D:13.9 | and that is why partial truth is never the whole truth, and | why the whole truth is the only truth. |
D:13.12 | This is | why you were told specifically not to evangelize or attempt to |
D:14.3 | in the physical world or anything in the state of unity. This is | why the key to unlocking the secrets of all you might want to know |
D:14.3 | how what is not of the body can still be known to you. And this is | why this exploration and discovery needs to be invited and |
D:15.6 | building upon each other. This is not the way of creation, which is | why these principles of unity must be seen as the undivided wholeness |
D:15.21 | idea enter you now. You have left behind the conditions of learning. | Why? Because they are no longer needed. The time of learning has |
D:16.12 | learning has not quite been accomplished in you. This is precisely | why we now discuss this state of becoming, this movement from image |
D:16.17 | your ego self, or your separated self, come to reclaim you. This is | why we have also described this as an after-image. This is but a |
D:17.16 | The only reason | why this might be so is that it is meant to be so. Something is still |
D:17.25 | This is | why you have been told the time of parables, or stories, has ended. |
D:17.25 | have been told the time of parables, or stories, has ended. This is | why you have been told: “As within, so without.” This is why you have |
D:17.25 | This is why you have been told: “As within, so without.” This is | why you have been taken to the top of the mountain without leaving |
D:Day1.1 | your ability, an acceptance that there is no real cause to request. | Why must Jesus be accepted? Why cannot the truth be accepted? Why |
D:Day1.1 | that there is no real cause to request. Why must Jesus be accepted? | Why cannot the truth be accepted? Why cannot everyone hold their |
D:Day1.1 | Why must Jesus be accepted? Why cannot the truth be accepted? | Why cannot everyone hold their distinct beliefs as long as they are |
D:Day1.4 | Why should this be so important? Why not leave well enough alone? If | |
D:Day1.4 | Why should this be so important? | Why not leave well enough alone? If acceptance of Jesus is a |
D:Day1.4 | enough alone? If acceptance of Jesus is a stumbling block for many, | why should it be required? A college education has requirements. If |
D:Day1.6 | the thought system of the ego self, you look back on it and realize | why you could not know your Self while the ego was your guide. You |
D:Day1.8 | Why are we so linked that your ability to know your Self is | |
D:Day1.11 | of the healer. Some of you may see this example as an example of | why you should not need to accept me. You may claim that you |
D:Day1.11 | of giving new life to a limb withered or broken. You may wonder | why it should matter whether this power be called Buddha or Allah, |
D:Day2.13 | you wish you could change. These actions are unchangeable. This is | why simple acceptance is needed. |
D:Day2.27 | This is | why you first needed to accept me. To accept me is to accept the end |
D:Day3.39 | with the pattern of learning through the mind, you can perhaps see | why these first revelations of union would come to you in a way |
D:Day3.50 | Where, you may ask, is the lack of struggle that has been promised? | Why do you still have to try so hard? Work so long? Endure so much? |
D:Day3.50 | Why do you still have to try so hard? Work so long? Endure so much? | Why isn’t the end in sight? |
D:Day4.9 | for discovery? And to find out that you were “taught” incorrectly! | Why should you not be angry? |
D:Day4.16 | time and that it is still challenging the world-view of your time. | Why might this be? |
D:Day4.31 | task he is about to perform, fails to perform with excellence. | Why? Because a film of the unnatural is placed over the natural. |
D:Day4.34 | world. You are on top of the mountain. What is this all about? | Why have we gathered together here? It is said that during my forty |
D:Day4.40 | to the towns and cities, the green grass and the blue sea below? | Why are we here but to show you these two choices? From where else |
D:Day4.41 | But what, you might ask, of the elevated Self of form? | Why is this suddenly a choice between one or the other? It is the |
D:Day4.51 | of union is what you are here coming to know once again, which is | why the time of fear, and along with it the time of learning, can |
D:Day4.54 | of all that you are. Fear is not a part of what you are, which is | why it cannot remain with you as the way opens for you to fully know |
D:Day5.22 | service is effortless for it is the way of creation. Again, this is | why the “effort” of learning must cease. |
D:Day5.23 | thwarted, for if not, the pattern of learning will remain. This is | why there have always seemed to be “secrets” held among the great |
D:Day6.16 | this by facilitating the acceptance of life as it is. This is | why this dialogue is occurring on the holy mountain without taking |
D:Day6.28 | life you still seem so deeply involved in is disturbing to you. Yet | why should this be disturbing? Why should you continue to desire the |
D:Day6.28 | involved in is disturbing to you. Yet why should this be disturbing? | Why should you continue to desire the life you have had? |
D:Day8.19 | and will create an attitude that will not be compassionate. This is | why we talk specifically here of dislikes. While you are prone to |
D:Day10.2 | See you now | why the certainty of union must be combined with the confidence of |
D:Day10.12 | work with what is as well as with the new and the forgotten. This is | why it has been said that the certainty that comes from access to |
D:Day10.26 | much room for feelings of the type you currently experience. This is | why we have recently spoken of anger and of those things which you |
D:Day10.26 | recently spoken of anger and of those things which you dislike— | why we have spoken, in short, of the feelings you would think would |
D:Day11.1 | could our lives be capable of experiencing no loss but only gain? | Why else would we have to share ourselves to know ourselves? |
D:Day14.1 | escape is not possible. Everything that is, is with us, which is | why we are the accomplished as well as the void, the healed as well |
D:Day14.6 | This is | why, after learning to disclaim all that you have called your “own,” |
D:Day14.12 | a means of coming to know. These words are only one means, which is | why this is called a dialogue. Realize now that this is but one voice |
D:Day15.11 | who have reached this level of neutrality along with you. This is | why observation is not being replaced. Observation is needed until |
D:Day15.13 | This cannot be explained in great detail, which is | why it must be practiced. It is to your own authority only that you |
D:Day15.22 | in need of them and not offer more than can be received. This is | why practice among those who are ready to be boundary-less and |
D:Day17.3 | Why do we return to this now, repeating what has been said before? | |
D:Day17.4 | learning to a new means of knowing? Christ-consciousness. This is | why it was said in the beginning pages of the Course that the Christ |
D:Day17.4 | aware that you exist and always been in search of an answer as to | why you exist. You have always been aware of the world around you and |
D:Day17.6 | This is | why we return now to your identity and the individuation of your |
D:Day17.7 | maintenance to sustenance of Christ-consciousness. Let’s consider | why this representation should be necessary. |
D:Day17.12 | Jesus represented or demonstrated has now been realized, which is | why this is called the time of Christ. The “time” of Christ, whom so |
D:Day18.6 | claim and with it the claim of all that is temporary. This is | why we have spent time on the idea of sickness and other unwanted |
D:Day19.5 | the world. Until they realize the power of reflection, they wonder | why they, unlike their brothers and sisters called to “do,” do not |
D:Day19.14 | discover, reflecting the way to their brothers and sisters. This is | why this is not a place or state of non-interaction but of great |
D:Day20.7 | This is | why you can “know” while always coming to know. Why you can know |
D:Day20.7 | This is why you can “know” while always coming to know. | Why you can know yourself and constantly be coming to know. The only |
D:Day28.18 | the realm of union or wholeness, new conditions will apply. This is | why it has been said that the changes that are to come are not about |
D:Day29.7 | find yourself, and experience yourself, are your reality. This is | why experience has needed to find a place in which it could become |
D:Day31.2 | level of experience you have been either knower or known. This is | why experience has seemed to exist apart from you. You say, “I had |
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 example life for |
D:Day35.4 | reach awareness of the state of unity, you can’t not share. This is | why. |
D:Day35.11 | is, in a sense, creation, or recreation of yourself. This is | why you return to the ground-level of humanity with the heights of |
D:Day35.11 | with the heights of divinity fresh in your minds and hearts. This is | why you return accepting of yourself rather than in a quest for self |
D:Day36.19 | You can see, now, perhaps, | why we have had to build your awareness slowly in order for you to be |
D:Day37.2 | If you no longer believe in God as a supreme and separate being, | why should it be difficult to see that God is being? This is not much |
D:Day37.17 | know, and your separate being “knows” of this impossibility. This is | why this Course has had, as its main objective, returning you to true |
D:Day39.10 | This is | why you must discover your own relationship with me. Discovering your |
D:Day39.41 | you do not have to learn all that the Christ in you learned. This is | why we have had to enter the time of non-learning—so that you |
D:Day39.41 | accept that you do not have to try to learn the unlearnable. This is | why we have left the time of becoming behind, why you stand ready to |
D:Day39.41 | unlearnable. This is why we have left the time of becoming behind, | why you stand ready to enter the time of being in union and |
D:Day40.3 | within the embrace of the attributelessness of love. This is | why my being has been capable of accepting your projections—because |
D:Day40.10 | as she begins that she but tries to bring form to the formless. | Why? Because the nature of a being of love is to extend. The nature |
D:Day40.11 | within the embrace of the attributelessness of love. This is | why my being has been capable of accepting your projections—because |
D:Day40.14 | you and me is that I am being God and also love, being. This is | why I am all and nothing, the attribute-laden God and the |
D:Day40.14 | nothing, the attribute-laden God and the attributeless love. This is | why it can be rightly said that God is Love and Love is God. But I am |
D:Day40.22 | within you the Christ, who is the relationship with love. This is | why individuation has become the conflict between, or the tension of, |
E.2 | and very soon, they will be entirely gone, never to be asked again. | Why? Because now that you are being who you are in unity and |
E.6 | will be as if it is the only path in the world and you will wonder | why you didn’t see it all along. Expect this. And it will be. So be |
E.7 | you onto the world. There will be no projections at all and this is | why you will see so clearly. You will see what is. You will create |
E.17 | You do not as yet think you know how to just be, and this is | why, in a sense, this dialogue, in this form, must come to an end. |
A.18 | To give up effort for receptivity is more than some can accept. | Why? Because it is too difficult. It goes against all you have |

T3:21.21 | is why this call to return to your Self is being sounded far and | wide and why it goes out to humble and ordinary people like yourself. |
T4:12.18 | Let not the idea of judgment take hold in the new. Announce far and | wide freedom from the old ideas, the learned wisdom of old. What |

C:P.17 | turn your back on your Self and God as well. Your good intentions | will not overcome the world and bring an end to hell. In all the |

C:P.20 | a bridge I would build a bridge, and this is likely true. Yet you | will not become the bridge. You refuse to recognize that the Christ |
C:P.26 | of God in terms of the family of man, in terms, in short, that you | will recognize. In the family of man, there are many families but it |
C:P.28 | another part of you that knows this is not true. Think back, and you | will remember that, from the earliest of ages you have known that |
C:P.28 | pain, and horror does so from a place that does not accept and | will never accept that these things are what are meant for you or for |
C:P.28 | this world with you. And yet your history, in which you so believe, | will tell you that the world has always been thus and that there is |
C:P.36 | this world at last for your true home. But it is not your body that | will pass through heaven’s gates, nor your body’s eyes that will view |
C:P.36 | that will pass through heaven’s gates, nor your body’s eyes that | will view the new world you will behold and take with you. To view a |
C:P.36 | gates, nor your body’s eyes that will view the new world you | will behold and take with you. To view a physical world of dimension, |

C:P.39 | mean the same thing, as oneness is what was always shared and always | will be. You are eternally one with Christ. The only way you can |
C:P.41 | but until your body’s eyes can behold the proof, this is what it | will remain. This is the insanity of the nightmare you choose not to |
C:P.41 | you choose not to awaken from. It is as if you have said, I | will not open my eyes until someone proves to me that they will see |
C:P.41 | said, I will not open my eyes until someone proves to me that they | will see when they are opened. You sit in darkness awaiting proof |

C:1.10 | as your own teacher. Accept me as your teacher and accept that I | will teach you the truth. Find no shame in this. You cannot learn |
C:1.10 | You have tried in countless ways and can try still again. But you | will not succeed. Not because you are not smart enough. Not because |
C:1.10 | not succeed. Not because you are not smart enough. Not because you | will not try hard enough. But because it is impossible. It is |
C:1.13 | with what you are and with what you can do on your own, only then | will your autonomy and your learning be complete, for this is all |
C:1.13 | is for you to stand on your own, complete within yourself. This goal | will never be reached, and only when you give up trying to reach it |
C:1.14 | a loss through failure to engage. Although you are well aware you | will not win the game you play here, you see the effort to do so, no |
C:2.2 | While you look for a God with a physical form you | will not recognize God. Everything real is of God. Nothing unreal |
C:2.8 | is the most you have any hope of doing, and few of you believe you | will succeed. Others refuse to think of life in terms of purpose and |
C:2.8 | one option to the next, giving up on one and hoping that the other | will bring them some peace. To think that these are the only options |
C:2.11 | other illusions to change what never was into something that never | will be. |
C:2.19 | to have you claim that living with such fantasies does not work and | will not ever be possible here. |
C:2.21 | Do not believe that all that you have learned | will not do what it was given you to do. Do not believe in your |
C:2.22 | We | will begin by working on a state of neutrality in which the war is no |
C:2.22 | has been waved and dropped upon a hallowed ground where neutrality | will for a short time reign before peace breaks out with glad |
C:3.1 | It is neither alive nor dead. And thus it always was and always | will be. It is not particular to you as human beings. It is in |
C:3.5 | can close your eyes and believe that you are in the dark, but you | will not believe that you are no longer real. Close your eyes on all |
C:3.5 | your eyes on all that you have become accustomed to seeing. And you | will see the light. |
C:3.6 | In the light that comes only to eyes that no longer see, you | will find the Christ who abides in you. In Jesus Christ, the Son of |
C:3.7 | and so you do not even see the form as it is but only as what it | will do for you. You imprison form within your meaning, and still |
C:3.9 | An idea of love is planted now, in a garden rich with what | will make it grow. |
C:3.10 | due to your concept of the mind. What you conceive it to be, it | will be to you. While many teachings have attempted to dislodge this |
C:3.11 | of it in the same way. You seek to gather it together so that it | will provide an improvement to what has been before. You look for |
C:3.11 | that shows that if you behave in a certain way certain things | will happen as a result. Like a child learning not to touch a stove |
C:3.11 | a child learning not to touch a stove because it is hot and a burn | will result, or learning that a warm blanket is comforting, you |
C:3.11 | on your senses and your judgment. While you believe you know what | will hurt you and what you will find comforting, you subject what |
C:3.11 | judgment. While you believe you know what will hurt you and what you | will find comforting, you subject what cannot be compared to the |
C:3.14 | be aware your heart, for this is where this learning enters and | will stay. Your heart is now your eyes and ears. Your mind can remain |
C:3.15 | What this | will mean to you goes far beyond the learning of this Course. One |
C:3.15 | of this Course. One such concept, given up and not replaced, | will free you beyond your deepest imaginings and free your sisters |
C:3.18 | to you again: take heart. Such foolishness as your heart’s desires | will save you now. Remember it is your heart that yearns for home. |
C:3.18 | remembered. Your heart that leads the way that, should you follow, | will set you certainly on the path for home. |
C:3.23 | the proof we have been given of love’s strength. For this we | will return to again and again as we learn to recognize what love is. |
C:4.2 | can love for love’s sake. What is a false idol? What you think love | will get you. You are entitled to all that love would give but not to |
C:4.2 | entitled to all that love would give but not to what you think love | will provide for you through its acquisition. This is a classic |
C:4.8 | all these things that you have made to replace what you already have | will lead you back as surely as they can lead you astray. Where what |
C:4.8 | back as surely as they can lead you astray. Where what you have made | will lead rests only on your decision. Your decision, couched in many |
C:4.12 | time is right. For that kind and gentle stance you do not believe | will serve you now, that blindness and self-sacrifice is something to |
C:4.15 | beauty and the trappings of good upbringing. Those most insecure | will believe in a partner who would shower him or her with praise and |
C:4.15 | in good health, not too demanding, a companion and a lover who | will be convenient within a busy life. |
C:4.16 | You hope to be a winner in this game you play, a chosen one who | will have each ounce of love that is given returned in kind. This is |
C:4.17 | you have set; you expect that a certain amount of prestige | will follow certain accomplishments; you accept that some tasks have |
C:4.17 | that some tasks have to be done for survival’s sake. You hope there | will be some fairness here in what you give and what you are given |
C:4.17 | what you give and what you are given back. You hope your hard work | will produce results, the dinner you prepared be eaten with delight, |
C:4.17 | spend your days. For spend your days you do, and soon that spending | will deplete the limited number of days in store for you and you will |
C:4.17 | will deplete the limited number of days in store for you and you | will die. Life is not fair, nor meant to be, you claim. But love is |
C:4.18 | has no resemblance to how you spend your days or the way your days | will end. Love is all that is set apart in your perception from what |
C:4.21 | place you have made of love in a world of madness, and hope that you | will live to see the day when you can leave the madness behind, and |
C:4.21 | to see the day when you can leave the madness behind, and that you | will still find love behind the doors you have passed through so many |
C:4.24 | abides the Host who loves all dearly. Within you is the light that | will show you what love is and keep it not set apart from life any |
C:4.24 | to love. But love can allow a new world to be seen, a world that | will allow you to abide within love’s presence. |
C:4.26 | not that this joining is a metaphor, a string of pleasant words that | will bring you comfort if you heed them, one more sentiment in a |
C:4.27 | home. This foreign world where you have been so lonely and afraid | will linger for a while where it can terrify you no longer, until |
C:4.27 | for a while where it can terrify you no longer, until finally it | will fade away into the nothingness from which it came as a new world |
C:5.5 | between one body and another, and while you think this is so, you | will not understand relationship or union or come to recognize love |
C:5.12 | that you enter into a relationship with it, for it is there you | will find love. It is in every joining, every entering into, that |
C:5.13 | the rise and fall of many armies. What armies of destruction | will rock the world when they are brought to love? |
C:5.20 | about what to replace your senseless thoughts with, as your heart | will intercede by fulfilling its longing for union as soon as you |
C:5.21 | in your creation of the world. The only meaning possible for free | will is this: what you choose to join with you, and what you choose |
C:5.23 | real. Rather than feeling as if you have gained, feelings of loss | will now be what you fight to overcome. What have you done wrong, you |
C:5.24 | one accomplishment with another, sure that the next one or the next | will be the one to do the trick. |
C:5.25 | A trick this is indeed, for what has once failed to work | will surely fail again. Stop now and give up what you think you want. |
C:5.29 | but are made so by your choice, the choice to achieve what you | will on your own. This is all the difference there is between union |
C:6.1 | hard they try. Forgive them. Forgive yourself. Forgive God. Then you | will be ready to begin learning just how different it really is to |
C:6.2 | is here for. And when you have learned what it would teach you, you | will have need of it no more, and you will gently let it go and find |
C:6.2 | what it would teach you, you will have need of it no more, and you | will gently let it go and find heaven in its place. |
C:6.4 | been, with the help of the Holy Spirit, being turned into that which | will help you learn what your reality really is. Yet you still refuse |
C:6.6 | one with everything that has been created. This simple realization | will start you on the path to learning what your heart would have you |
C:6.9 | Choose again! And let go your fear of what the truth | will bring. What could be more insane than that which you now call |
C:6.10 | when you are old and have grown weary of the world. Then perhaps you | will sit in the sun. |
C:6.12 | is still to come is what you live for, with the undying hope that it | will not be that which came before. For every challenge faced is but |
C:6.12 | next. And each one comes to replace the old with hope that this one | will be the one—and equal hope that it will not. |
C:6.12 | old with hope that this one will be the one—and equal hope that it | will not. |
C:6.20 | mind, between who they were and who they are after death? In honesty | will you admit an envy, an awareness that they still exist, but |
C:6.20 | those who claim not to believe in God or an afterlife of any sort | will, when prompted to be truthful, admit this is an image that |
C:6.20 | fantasy, nor did it pass from one mind to the next as stories often | will. It is but part of your awareness of who you are, an awareness |
C:6.21 | you to a life of such unhappiness. Thoughts of terror and of sin you | will embrace, but thoughts of resurrection and new life you still |
C:6.22 | only yourself, and your deception has not changed what is nor | will it ever succeed in doing so. Only God and His appointed helpers |
C:7.1 | on. It has been stated and emphasized countless times before, and it | will be here as well: What you give you will receive in truth. What |
C:7.1 | times before, and it will be here as well: What you give you | will receive in truth. What you do not receive is a measure of what |
C:7.2 | own Self. Your giving must be total for you to receive in truth. We | will concentrate more now, however, on withholding than on giving for |
C:7.2 | As the awareness of your withholding dawns upon your heart, you | will begin to realize what you do not give, and with that |
C:7.5 | is held within your heart, and it is this piece with which we now | will work. |
C:7.6 | down. Life is seen as a constant taking away and this, you claim, | will never be taken from you. For those whose lives are threatened, |
C:7.6 | from you. For those whose lives are threatened, it is called the | will to live. For those whose identity is threatened, it is called |
C:7.6 | is the call to create, and for still others the call to love. Some | will not give up hope to cynicism. Others label it ethics, morals, |
C:7.6 | Others label it ethics, morals, values, and say this is the line I | will never cross. It is the cry that says, “I will not sell my soul.” |
C:7.6 | say this is the line I will never cross. It is the cry that says, “I | will not sell my soul.” |
C:7.7 | Rejoice that there is something in this world that you | will not bargain with, something you hold sacrosanct. This is your |
C:7.7 | This is your Self. Yet this Self that you hold so dear that you | will never let it go is precisely what you must be willing to freely |
C:7.8 | yourself that you won’t let go. As you learn that what you give you | will receive in truth, you will see that what abides within your |
C:7.8 | go. As you learn that what you give you will receive in truth, you | will see that what abides within your heart is all that is worthy of |
C:7.9 | When you believe that this is so and that what you give away you | will receive in truth, you will throw open the doors to this safe |
C:7.9 | is so and that what you give away you will receive in truth, you | will throw open the doors to this safe house, and all the joy you |
C:7.9 | to this safe house, and all the joy you have kept from yourself | will return. A great exchange will happen as a powerful wind sweeps |
C:7.9 | the joy you have kept from yourself will return. A great exchange | will happen as a powerful wind sweeps through your heart, and all the |

C:7.9 | not a corner of the universe untouched. In an instant the eternal | will be upon you. Death will be a dream as the wind of life reunited |
C:7.9 | untouched. In an instant the eternal will be upon you. Death | will be a dream as the wind of life reunited with itself gathers from |
C:7.9 | into what has so long been locked away. After this a gentle breeze | will come, never again to leave you, as life breathes as one. |
C:7.15 | insist be paid, the homage you claim is due, that without which you | will withhold what you have. And you are thankful for these things |
C:7.16 | from the world. In every situation what you would keep is what you | will not have, because you keep it only from yourself. |
C:7.19 | It is from this center that truth | will light your way. |
C:7.20 | It is from this center that you | will come to understand that relationship exists in wholeness. We |
C:7.20 | of all that has led to this misperception is not yet complete, nor | will it be until your understanding is greater than it is now. For |
C:7.21 | sure thing that permeates your existence: the knowledge that death | will claim you and all of those you love. |
C:7.23 | Accept a new authority, even if only for the little while that it | will take you to read these words. Start with this idea: You will |
C:7.23 | that it will take you to read these words. Start with this idea: You | will allow for the possibility of a new truth to be revealed to your |
C:7.23 | these words—and when you finish reading these words—their truth | will be revealed to you. Let your heart be open to a new kind of |
C:7.23 | source. Remind yourself that when love comes to fill your heart, you | will deny it not, nor its source. You do not need to believe that |
C:7.23 | deny it not, nor its source. You do not need to believe that this | will happen, but only to allow for the possibility of it happening. |
C:8.1 | as your own Self. Emotions, the thoughts of your heart, are what we | will now work with, separating as we do the truth from your |
C:8.3 | Communion is union that we | will speak of here as being of the highest level, though in truth, no |
C:8.3 | all. As a learning being, the idea of levels is helpful to you and | will aid you in seeing that you progress from one step, or one level |
C:8.3 | This is more a process of remembering than learning, and this you | will understand as memory begins to return to you. Your heart will |
C:8.3 | you will understand as memory begins to return to you. Your heart | will aid you in replacing thinking with remembering. In this way, |
C:8.5 | higher purpose when your purpose is in union with that of spirit. We | will thus examine a new way of looking at emotions, a way that will |
C:8.5 | We will thus examine a new way of looking at emotions, a way that | will allow them to assist you in your learning rather than block you |
C:8.11 | hidden recesses of a heart or mind? Without union all your seeking | will not reveal the truth. And while there is a part of you that |
C:8.16 | We | will go one step further as well, for many of you are thinking still |
C:8.18 | and time. As you stand back and observe your body, this is what you | will see: a form moving through time and place. You may be more aware |
C:8.19 | to not observe with your mind, but with your heart. This observance | will contain a holiness, a gift of sight beyond that of your normal |
C:8.21 | magnitude of all that with you occupies the world. Some days this | will make you feel like one of many, a tiny peon of little |
C:8.21 | one of many, a tiny peon of little significance. On other days you | will feel quite superior, the ultimate achievement of the world and |
C:8.21 | of the world and all its years of evolution. There are days you | will feel quite of the earth, as if this is your natural home and |
C:8.21 | natural home and heaven to your soul. On other days your feeling | will be quite the opposite, and you will wonder where you are. Yes, |
C:8.21 | soul. On other days your feeling will be quite the opposite, and you | will wonder where you are. Yes, there your body is, but where are you? |
C:8.22 | Although you cannot observe it, you | will become aware of how the past walks through your days with you, |
C:8.29 | Your days are but evidence of this truth. What your eyes behold | will one day deceive you while what your heart beholds will the next |
C:8.29 | eyes behold will one day deceive you while what your heart beholds | will the next day see through the deception. And so one day lived in |
C:9.4 | your existence and to make things happen. This use of relationship | will never provide the proof or the action you seek, because |
C:9.9 | it. This you are not ready yet to do, but this is what your heart | will now prepare you for. As you are prepared, you walk alongside he |
C:9.10 | to return you to your real Self, and the new purpose you establish | will change its conditions as well as its usefulness to you. |
C:9.11 | on the simple idea that you do not have what you need. You | will continue to believe this while your allegiance remains split. |
C:9.11 | split. Until you have withdrawn all faith in what you have made, you | will believe that what you made remains useful to you. Since this is |
C:9.11 | total willingness to change it—a willingness not yet complete—we | will, instead of trying to ignore what you have made, use it in a new |
C:9.12 | perception of your heart. Your illusions concerning it, when undone, | will quickly reveal to you the truth because your misperceptions |
C:9.12 | heart are the strongest and purest that exist, and their remembrance | will help to still your mind and reveal the rest. |
C:9.15 | back the first level of what your eyes allow you to observe and you | will find fear lurking there. The next level, depending on your |
C:9.21 | would not want to have, you have accomplished much. But a warm fire | will only provide warmth as long as it is stoked. A meal will provide |
C:9.21 | a warm fire will only provide warmth as long as it is stoked. A meal | will provide fullness only until the next is needed. Your closed door |
C:9.24 | The only replacement that can occur that | will accomplish what you seek is the replacement of illusion with the |
C:9.24 | continue on in this fashion, always hoping that the next replacement | will be the one that succeeds in bringing you what you desire, or you |
C:9.24 | what you desire, or you can choose instead the only replacement that | will work. |
C:9.33 | God’s | will for you is happiness, and never has it been otherwise. God’s |
C:9.33 | memory would tell you that your Creator did. God alone can give free | will. In giving your power to things like your body and to ideas like |
C:9.33 | your body and to ideas like time your imitation of the gift of free | will is so falsely placed in illusion that you cannot see this |
C:9.34 | The free | will that God gave you is what has allowed you to make of yourself |
C:9.34 | is what has allowed you to make of yourself and your world what you | will. Now you look upon this world with guilt and see it as evidence |
C:9.35 | As long as you do not want to be forgiven you | will not feel the gentle touch of forgiveness upon you and your |
C:9.38 | individual.” As long as more than this is not sought, more than this | will not be realized. |
C:9.39 | something is. One thing alone is sure: When you have found it you | will know that it has been found. This is what will bring you |
C:9.39 | you have found it you will know that it has been found. This is what | will bring you happiness and peace, contentment and a sense of |
C:9.39 | and peace, contentment and a sense of belonging. This is what | will cause you to feel as if your time here has not been in vain. You |
C:9.39 | if on your deathbed you have not found what you have sought, you | will not leave in deepest peace but in dark despair and fear. You |
C:9.39 | will not leave in deepest peace but in dark despair and fear. You | will have no hope for what lies beyond life, for you will have found |
C:9.39 | and fear. You will have no hope for what lies beyond life, for you | will have found no hope in life. |
C:9.41 | is for the living, not the dead. But while you run the race you | will know it not. Competition that leads to individual achievement |
C:9.43 | you would use, and you supply a store with capital that its owner | will use. If you are gifted with beauty or athletic or artistic |
C:9.47 | world so lovely and so peaceful that when you see it once again you | will cry with joy and forget your sadness in an instant. There will |

C:9.47 | be a glad “Aha!” as what was long forgotten is returned to you. You | will but smile at the childish games you played, and have no more |

C:9.48 | All your vast wanderings | will be seen for what they are. All that you desired will be revealed |
C:9.48 | vast wanderings will be seen for what they are. All that you desired | will be revealed as only two desires, the desire to love and the |
C:10.1 | long as you attribute the body with bringing you pleasure, the body | will bring you pain as well. You cannot choose one without the other, |
C:10.2 | save you countless years of seeking where the truth is not, if you | will but seek where I bid you find. |
C:10.3 | and retain another because by retaining part you retain all. This | will lead to seeming failure to learn what I would have you learn. |

C:10.6 | That you are not ready yet does not mean you | will not be ready, just as having lost something does not mean it no |
C:10.6 | that what it has taught you is to be separate. Be warned that it | will constantly try to interfere as long as you place any merit in |

C:10.9 | something for itself and all its effort. This is but a stage you | will pass through, though some may linger long here. You will stay |
C:10.9 | a stage you will pass through, though some may linger long here. You | will stay until you realize that all are good and that you cannot |
C:10.9 | you cannot earn more of God’s good graces than your brother. You | will stay until you realize that God has given everything already to |
C:10.10 | and the rewards you would choose here are as dust to those you | will become aware of as you proceed. |
C:10.11 | do miracles on your own. In the early stages of your learning, you | will be tempted to play a game of make believe. You will not believe |
C:10.11 | learning, you will be tempted to play a game of make believe. You | will not believe that you are not your body, but you would make |
C:10.11 | yourself is welcomed by your separated self who knows pretending | will not make it so. |
C:10.12 | in me, in heaven and in an afterlife is that you do not think you | will be proven wrong here. If you are wrong, you will merely rot away |
C:10.12 | do not think you will be proven wrong here. If you are wrong, you | will merely rot away after you have died and no one will know how |
C:10.12 | are wrong, you will merely rot away after you have died and no one | will know how wrong you were! If you are wrong, at least you believed |
C:10.13 | either union or your neighbor is something else. This belief | will not necessarily bring you comfort or do you no harm. What if you |
C:10.15 | the mystery of faith: Christ has died, Christ has risen, Christ | will come again. What is missing from this recitation? Christ was |
C:10.16 | is a choice you need not make. As your learning advances you | will see that this is possible, but there may be reasons not to |
C:10.17 | Nothing happens to the Son of God by accident. This observation | will help to put the responsibility of your life back into your |
C:10.17 | yourself, What choice might lead to happiness instead of this, you | will begin to see a difference in your body’s response to what appear |
C:10.18 | to find some happiness within it. These instructions to your heart | will begin to make a difference to your state of mind. |
C:10.20 | demise, but in the loneliness that comes with its loss you | will wonder, at least briefly, why the choice for practicality needed |
C:10.20 | can look back and see that it chose being right over being happy, it | will congratulate itself despite its unhappiness and say, “I did the |
C:10.20 | itself despite its unhappiness and say, “I did the right thing.” It | will see itself as victor over the foolish dreams of happiness and |
C:10.21 | so fulfilling that once you have experienced it you say, “I | will take this despair no more.” For others this threshold is the |
C:10.21 | to the separated self’s reality. If they cannot leave it, they | will block it out. Some, at this threshold, turn back. They deny |
C:10.23 | work or the shadow form on the ground as you walk to and fro, you | will be learning the only separation that can be useful to you. |
C:10.24 | Your first realization of significance | will be that all you hear does not come through your ears. You will |
C:10.24 | will be that all you hear does not come through your ears. You | will find that you are full of thoughts—thoughts about your body, |
C:10.24 | of thoughts you might have of someone else’s body. The difference | will be that these thoughts will not seem to have originated in your |
C:10.24 | of someone else’s body. The difference will be that these thoughts | will not seem to have originated in your head. You may realize for |
C:10.25 | successful or a hopeless failure at conducting this experiment, you | will realize anew that your thoughts more accurately define who you |
C:10.26 | laugh at yourself for taking part in this silly experiment, but you | will realize the desire to laugh at yourself is quite genuine and not |
C:10.26 | at yourself is quite genuine and not conceived from meanness. There | will be a happier self who seems to think this game is rather fun, |
C:10.26 | This laughter too, as well as the sense of fun that prompted it, | will come without the body’s participation. |
C:10.27 | You | will soon develop an ability to see without your body’s eyes. This, |
C:10.27 | soon develop an ability to see without your body’s eyes. This, too, | will seem like a silly game at first, a trick of your imagination. |
C:10.27 | seem like a silly game at first, a trick of your imagination. You | will, at first, observe only that which you can “see”—your arms and |
C:10.27 | and legs, your shadow falling as you walk—but more and more you | will come to see the body as a whole. You will see it from behind as |
C:10.27 | —but more and more you will come to see the body as a whole. You | will see it from behind as you follow it about its day, without, at |
C:10.27 | without, at first even being aware that this is happening. And you | will find that as you observe, you are more aware of your |
C:10.27 | is your body sitting at a desk in a building with many others. You | will realize how seldom before you were aware of the street you |
C:10.27 | the open sky above, of all the “others” traveling it with you. You | will feel more a part of everything rather than less, and be |
C:10.30 | What you | will be feeling as you proceed is the feeling of the tunnel vision of |
C:10.30 | expanded vision of the unified Self. As you feel this happening, you | will begin to be aware of feelings too that are not bound to the |
C:10.30 | see nor hear with your body’s eyes or ears, these feelings too | will not depend upon your body’s senses. |
C:10.31 | You | will find quite a bit of resistance to this experiment. You will find |
C:10.31 | You will find quite a bit of resistance to this experiment. You | will find you are too serious to play this game and that you have |
C:10.31 | to do. Yet as much as you resist, the idea has been planted and you | will find yourself, at times that seem to be “against your will,” |
C:10.31 | and you will find yourself, at times that seem to be “against your | will,” participating in it despite your determination not to do so. |
C:10.31 | to do so. Once you begin to feel the effects of the experiment you | will also encounter fear, especially if you take the game too |
C:10.31 | encounter fear, especially if you take the game too seriously. There | will be times when you will not want to laugh when the urge to do so |
C:10.31 | if you take the game too seriously. There will be times when you | will not want to laugh when the urge to do so comes upon you, and |
C:10.31 | other times that after the slightest moment of expanded vision you | will welcome back your tunnel vision with gratitude. You will feel |
C:10.31 | vision you will welcome back your tunnel vision with gratitude. You | will feel relieved that your feet still touch the ground and that the |
C:10.31 | ground and that the boundary of your body is still intact. But you | will remember the urge to laugh gently at yourself and the expanded |
C:10.31 | to laugh gently at yourself and the expanded vision as well. You | will remember that for a moment your body did not seem to be a |
C:10.31 | a boundary that kept you contained within its limitations. Then you | will remember that this is but a Course in remembering and that |
C:10.32 | Many of you | will rebel here thinking this is not what you signed on for. You just |
C:10.32 | read about this Course, perhaps, and not be required to take it. You | will want to keep it theoretical and not apply it. You will ask for |
C:10.32 | take it. You will want to keep it theoretical and not apply it. You | will ask for the information, and say you would really rather not |
C:10.32 | heart cannot. A tiny glimmering of memory has returned to you and | will not leave you to the chaos you seem to prefer. It will keep |
C:10.32 | to you and will not leave you to the chaos you seem to prefer. It | will keep calling you to acknowledge it and let it grow. It will tug |
C:10.32 | It will keep calling you to acknowledge it and let it grow. It | will tug at your heart in the most gentle of ways. Its whisper will |
C:10.32 | It will tug at your heart in the most gentle of ways. Its whisper | will be heard within your thoughts. Its melody will play within your |
C:10.32 | of ways. Its whisper will be heard within your thoughts. Its melody | will play within your mind. “Come back, come back,” it will say to |
C:10.32 | Its melody will play within your mind. “Come back, come back,” it | will say to you. “Come home, come home,” it will sing. You will know |
C:10.32 | back, come back,” it will say to you. “Come home, come home,” it | will sing. You will know there is a place within yourself where you |
C:10.32 | back,” it will say to you. “Come home, come home,” it will sing. You | will know there is a place within yourself where you are missed and |
C:11.4 | have sought to limit by limiting the exercises to a simple few that | will stay with you when all hurrying, fear of failing, and earnest |
C:11.4 | are but ideas of union come to replace ideas of separation. This | will happen of its own without your understanding as long as you |
C:11.4 | love is. Neither can happen. And your perception that either can | will shut out all ideas of union. |
C:11.6 | be. Willingness and faith go together. What you have faith in, you | will see. This Course asks for your willingness to have faith in |
C:11.7 | of openness, not necessarily of firm belief. You see free | will and willingness together and while they are the same, their |
C:11.8 | Your free | will you guard most closely, knowing this is what made the separation |
C:11.9 | is insane, and you know that this is so. But because you view free | will as all you have that God cannot take away from you, you have not |
C:11.9 | but He can also take it all away, and in the end He surely | will. He then will judge you and determine if you should be rewarded |
C:11.9 | He can also take it all away, and in the end He surely will. He then | will judge you and determine if you should be rewarded for a life of |
C:11.10 | And so you give to God a little faith and cherish your free | will, the true god of the separated self. You think at times that |
C:11.10 | that you live. But your strongest perception of your free | will is of its power. No matter what God wants of you, you can use |
C:11.10 | of its power. No matter what God wants of you, you can use your free | will to rebel and to make your own choices, choices different than |
C:11.11 | You do not 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 |
C:11.12 | It is true that your free | will is powerful as it is part, but only part, of what has allowed |
C:11.12 | believe in your separated state. While you could have used your free | will to create like unto your Father, by choosing to make yourself |
C:11.12 | occur—you have chosen instead to do nothing at all with your free | will but make this one insane choice. Your willingness to make a new |
C:11.12 | one insane choice. Your willingness to make a new choice is what | will once again make your free will like unto your Father’s will, |
C:11.12 | to make a new choice is what will once again make your free | will like unto your Father’s will, which is one with it in truth. |
C:11.12 | is what will once again make your free will like unto your Father’s | will, which is one with it in truth. |
C:11.13 | Your protectiveness of your free | will is why we must separate willingness from your perception of free |
C:11.13 | is why we must separate willingness from your perception of free | will. Your free will is the last bastion of your separate army, the |
C:11.13 | separate willingness from your perception of free will. Your free | will is the last bastion of your separate army, the final line of |
C:11.13 | army, the final line of defense, the site where the final battle | will take place. Before this final battle is reached your willingness |
C:11.14 | God | will never wrestle your free will from you, or fight battles to win |
C:11.14 | God will never wrestle your free | will from you, or fight battles to win it for Himself. This final |
C:11.14 | you have made go, and realize that willingness does not negate free | will. Yet even while you cannot yet quite give up your guardianship |
C:11.14 | sufficient to begin with a temporary choice, though a lasting choice | will be required before you will feel the shift of cause and quit |
C:11.14 | choice, though a lasting choice will be required before you | will feel the shift of cause and quit worrying about effect. For now |
C:11.14 | that can be rescinded at any time. Your temporary willingness | will be enough to begin to effect cause and in so doing bring some |
C:11.16 | that goes out to truth and not illusion. It is a call whose answer | will come to you quickly on the wings of angels, a fluttering your |
C:11.16 | come to you quickly on the wings of angels, a fluttering your heart | will feel, for angels too are one with you. It may feel like |
C:11.17 | love is. You need not concentrate on where to find love, for love | will find you. You need not concentrate on giving love, for you |
C:11.17 | do not yet know, and when you know it you need not give it, for it | will extend from you naturally in miracles called love. Love is all |
C:11.17 | extend from you naturally in miracles called love. Love is all that | will fill your emptiness, and all that will never leave you empty |
C:11.17 | called love. Love is all that will fill your emptiness, and all that | will never leave you empty again as it extends from you to your |
C:11.17 | it extends from you to your brothers and sisters. Love is all that | will not leave you wanting. Love is all that will replace use with |
C:11.17 | Love is all that will not leave you wanting. Love is all that | will replace use with unity. |
C:12.4 | We have said before the only meaning possible for your free | will is your choice of what to join with and your choice of what to |
C:12.6 | God’s | will for you is happiness, and of this you can be certain. To align |
C:12.6 | for you is 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 |
C:12.6 | This is but a wish come true, and when it is all you wish for it | will come to be. And in the granting of this wish will come your rest |
C:12.6 | you wish for it will come to be. And in the granting of this wish | will come your rest and the laying down of every heavy burden you |
C:12.7 | of your illusion in its place, you would understand the rest that | will simply come of giving up your need to do so. Your desire for |
C:12.8 | Course aims to establish your identity, for from it all the rest | will come. As such, this Course seems to ask for change at every |
C:12.8 | to ask for change at every level, and yet from one change alone | will all the others follow—and through no effort on your part at |
C:12.9 | in you. Re-establishing your relationship with your brother is what | will show your Self to you. You have one brother who wears but many |
C:12.14 | For what alone in all creation could be affected by your free | will but your own self? But one was needed to, of his own free will, |
C:12.14 | free will but your own self? But one was needed to, of his own free | will, join his will with his Father’s for it to be done for all. This |
C:12.14 | your own self? But one was needed to, of his own free will, join his | will with his Father’s for it to be done for all. This is all |
C:12.17 | on their own apart from you. Imagine this occurring and you | will see how senseless this situation would be. Could a trip happen |
C:13.1 | You | will never fully understand what unity means, but you will come to |
C:13.1 | You will never fully understand what unity means, but you | will come to feel what unity means, and this I promise you. This is |
C:13.1 | this Course, for once you have experienced the feeling of unity, you | will need no understanding of it. This is all the exercises that call |
C:13.1 | and is merely an extension of the first. In this exercise you | will begin to realize that your brothers and sisters are not their |
C:13.1 | to interact with others and as you observe this interaction, you | will “see” yourself and others in a new light. Your body will seem |
C:13.1 | you will “see” yourself and others in a new light. Your body | will seem more connected with those of the others it interacts with, |
C:13.1 | more connected with those of the others it interacts with, for they | will be grouped together in your observation of them. It will not be |
C:13.1 | for they will be grouped together in your observation of them. It | will not be only others you observe but yourself and others, placing |
C:13.1 | This seeming togetherness of bodies is just a first step that | will take you beyond the illusion of bodies to togetherness of spirit. |
C:13.2 | what you already know of the spirit of the person you observe. You | will be amazed at the knowledge you already have and the joy it |
C:13.3 | recollection, and the more you practice them the more true memory | will return to you. Do not apply any effort to these exercises, |
C:13.3 | exercise just the tiniest bit of consistent practice, however, it | will soon become routine to you, for you will want to continuously |
C:13.3 | practice, however, it will soon become routine to you, for you | will want to continuously experience the pleasure that it brings. |
C:13.4 | It is best to leave words off this experience as, if you do not, you | will soon be ascribing some attributes to one spirit and not to |
C:13.5 | You | will soon find that what you recall of spirit is love. You will want |
C:13.5 | You will soon find that what you recall of spirit is love. You | will want to give it many names at first, and might not even |
C:13.5 | many names at first, and might not even recognize it as love, for it | will come without all the longing and sadness you so often associate |
C:13.5 | come and with them the realization that while no two spirits | will seem exactly the same, they also are not “different.” The love |
C:13.5 | exactly the same, they also are not “different.” The love from each | will fill you with happiness because it is already complete and has |
C:13.5 | sense of longing or sadness of any kind. Because it is complete, it | will ask nothing of you, but will seem to offer you a warm welcome, |
C:13.5 | of any kind. Because it is complete, it will ask nothing of you, but | will seem to offer you a warm welcome, as if you are a long lost |
C:13.6 | This is the new “proof” that, while not scientific or verifiable, | will offer you the evidence you seek to confirm the truth of what you |
C:13.8 | While you | will not realize it at first, because you have no experience but only |
C:13.8 | no experience but only memory of feeling yourself in such a way, you | will eventually realize that the memories you recall of the spirit of |
C:13.10 | Your ego | will strongly resist your attempts to listen to your heart, and will |
C:13.10 | ego will strongly resist your attempts to listen to your heart, and | will call this every kind of foolishness, a waste of time that could |
C:13.11 | of others and yourself be shattered? Oh yes, and rightly so. Gladly | will you let them go and, if you trust yourself, all the evidence |
C:13.11 | against your brother that you have stored up in your lifetime | will be let go as well. |
C:13.12 | Each of you | will initially find it difficult to accept the innocence and |
C:13.12 | innocence and sinlessness of others and yourself, for your memory | will contain no hint of past misdeeds, errors or mistakes. No one |
C:13.12 | will contain no hint of past misdeeds, errors or mistakes. No one | will have leveled any hurts on you or anyone else. No reason for |
C:13.12 | have leveled any hurts on you or anyone else. No reason for guilt | will exist within this memory. No shame or fear is here, and no |
C:14.1 | in the world that you have made. Think but a minute of this, and you | will begin to see the enormity of the difference in these two |
C:14.12 | look at it with eyes that truly see. It is the magnifying glass that | will allow you to see your world in all its mad confusion. For what |
C:14.18 | And when you cease to exist, so does your universe. The lights | will be turned out upon it and it will be no more. |
C:14.18 | so does your universe. The lights will be turned out upon it and it | will be no more. |
C:14.19 | it get away! It too must be maintained within your universe, or you | will know it not and its benefits will escape and be lost to you. You |
C:14.19 | within your universe, or you will know it not and its benefits | will escape and be lost to you. You wish that you could join with it |
C:14.19 | one rich in oil, another in grain, you set up dependencies that | will keep you linked. Some of you do this quite obviously, and over |
C:14.23 | be gained by some and not by others, a pinnacle of achievement that | will prove your rightness and your success after you are gone. Love |
C:14.26 | While your purpose remains to make yourself and others special, you | will not put an end to the separation. And you cannot just let go of |
C:14.29 | love with the special ones on whom you choose to bestow it, you | will know love not. What you will know is specialness, raised to the |
C:14.29 | on whom you choose to bestow it, you will know love not. What you | will know is specialness, raised to the level of the Almighty and set |
C:15.3 | While you desire specialness for yourself, your true Self | will remain hidden and unknown, and since this is a Course that seeks |
C:15.3 | true identity, specialness must be seen for what it is so that you | will desire it no longer. You can have specialness or your true Self, |
C:15.3 | and deception. Be truthful as you examine yourself and you | will see that this is so. |
C:15.10 | something new, something worthy of your diligence and something that | will not leave behind your brothers and your sisters to a life of |
C:15.11 | you must leave behind. And there is a way to do so, a way that | will not harm any of those you love even while betraying all they |
C:15.12 | join with him and with your Father. In this choice lies one united | will for glory that knows neither specialness nor separation. In this |
C:16.6 | instead what it is looking for. What you are looking for is what you | will find, but finding it does not make it the truth, except as it is |
C:16.11 | judge, and only your split mind that has made of this memory what | will serve its purpose. What it calls a deficiency is your saving |
C:16.13 | self, and if you do not watch out for your own safety, surely you | will perish. Yet while you watch vigilantly you know that you cannot |
C:16.15 | it, you live as if you believe that what has never worked before | will somehow miraculously work in the future. You have nothing but |
C:16.20 | know the saying not believe in the tenets it represents. This, you | will claim, you have evidence for. It is all around you. The strong |
C:16.22 | suffer hardship. Yet it is often only those who suffer hardship who | will rise up and claim the power that is their own instead of looking |
C:17.2 | that has never left it. It is the reunion of these two selves that | will bring about the completion of the universe and the return of |
C:17.3 | know what was previously unknown to you can remove the fear, if you | will let it. |
C:17.4 | of it as if it would change the nature of the universe itself. It | will change your perception of it. This is both what you desire and |
C:17.5 | you would rather not know, and therefore must be bad, are what | will be revealed. And yet all the evidence of your own thoughts will |
C:17.5 | what will be revealed. And yet all the evidence of your own thoughts | will reveal to you your willingness to accept the bad about yourself |
C:17.16 | your heart is to only give thought to forgiveness. This many of you | will give, even to deciding to forgive despite your better judgment. |
C:18.9 | heart, or wholeheartedness. A half-hearted approach to this learning | will not work, nor will the attention of a split mind. It cannot be |
C:18.9 | A half-hearted approach to this learning will not work, nor | will the attention of a split mind. It cannot be emphasized strongly |
C:18.9 | would be like any more than you can now imagine what a united world | will be like. You did not understand, from unity’s standpoint, what |
C:18.11 | The experience of unity | will alter your belief system and that of others, for what you learn |
C:18.16 | your orientation from mind to heart. This is a first step in what | will seem now like an attempt to balance two separate things, but is |
C:18.16 | is but a mind in which love rules, and mind and heart are one. We | will proceed by calling this wholeheartedness rather than mind or |
C:19.1 | and you could not fully experience anything without your free | will. A separate self with a free will operating in an external |
C:19.1 | anything without your free will. A separate self with a free | will operating in an external world, as well as a spirit self |
C:19.3 | experience rejoice, for you can choose a new experience. Your free | will has not been taken from you, nor has the power of creation |
C:19.4 | of glorifying the separated self and to let the world be what it is | will begin the transformation. This requires the first unification, |
C:19.12 | Your belief in your brothers and sisters | will not be total, however, without the reunion of mind and heart |
C:19.15 | to know your own Self—it is obvious that another’s experience | will not bring this knowledge to you, not even my experience. If this |
C:19.16 | you remain here, even experiences beyond thoughts and words you | will apply word and thought to. Yet love has often brought you close |
C:19.18 | and thus of training before you can be aware of the answer you | will receive. It is clear you can ask for what you know not. This is |
C:19.18 | the separate self and to believe in the possibility of response, you | will find yourself more afraid to ask. All your asking or prayer |
C:19.20 | all you long for is nearer than ever before. To talk of going “back” | will undoubtedly make you feel impatient, but this is not a going |
C:19.20 | make you feel impatient, but this is not a going back that | will in any way resemble the “going back” that you have tried to do |
C:19.20 | a request to review your life, it is the last such review that | will be required before letting the past go completely. All your |
C:19.20 | attempts to go back have been like attempts to pay a debt that | will never go away. This going back will leave you debt free and thus |
C:19.20 | like attempts to pay a debt that will never go away. This going back | will leave you debt free and thus free in truth. |
C:19.21 | reflection arising from a deep pool. Here what is in need of healing | will but briefly come to the surface and leave the hidden depths |
C:19.21 | glance of compassion, the merest moment of reflection, before it | will dissipate and show a new reflection. |
C:19.22 | of truth from illusion. Despite the similarity between what this | will call forth and the description of the final judgment, judgment |
C:19.23 | of right-mindedness. Your willingness to accept me as your teacher | will help you to accept my sight as your own and thus to be |
C:19.23 | back in judgment is not what is required here. Only the opposite | will advance our aim of uniting mind and heart. |
C:19.24 | is light, and the only light in which you can truly see. You | will not truly desire to unite your mind and heart in |
C:20.2 | head against my breast as I stroke your hair and assure you that it | will be all right. Realize that this is the whole world, the |
C:20.12 | the wholeness of all life. The whole exists untroubled by what it | will be. It is. |
C:20.17 | the one identity. When you realize the oneness of your identity you | will be one with Christ. Christ is synonymous with oneness. |
C:20.24 | Forget yourself and memory | will return to you. Beyond your personal self and the identity you |
C:20.31 | Your actions and the results of your actions in a universe of love | will naturally be different from your actions and the results of your |
C:20.32 | true power is acceptance of your God-given authority via your free | will. When I beseeched my Father, saying, “They know not what they |
C:20.33 | The rest of the universe, existing in a state of compassionate free | will devoid of fear, knows what it does. There are no opposing forces |
C:20.34 | this may seem to be metaphorical language it is not. Listen and you | will hear. Hear, and you cannot help but rejoice in the dance. |
C:20.35 | you do comes from existing within the embrace. You know you do the | will of God because you are at one with that will. |
C:20.35 | You know you do the will of God because you are at one with that | will. |
C:20.36 | have in the “if onlys” of fear, all the certainty I have spoken of | will be yours. |
C:20.38 | flow from love. Hope is a willingness to ask for help, believing it | will come. Hope is the reason and the outcome for which we pray. Hope |
C:20.41 | What you each have been given is that which | will serve your purpose. You could have no more perfect gifts, for |
C:20.41 | are except when you give in to making judgments. Look deeply and you | will see that what you would call your imperfections are as chosen |
C:20.43 | beings of perfection. When you begin to see them as such, what you | will receive from them is far grander than anything you would before |
C:20.44 | Your thinking | will begin to change to reflect your recognition of reception. |
C:20.44 | of reception. Reception and welcome are highly linked. You | will find you are welcome to all the gifts you recognize in your |
C:20.44 | gifts you recognize in your brothers and sisters just as you freely | will offer yours to serve them. To serve rather than to use is an |
C:20.44 | to use is an enormous change in thinking, feeling, and acting. It | will immediately make the world a kinder, gentler place. And it is |
C:20.45 | remain cognizant of this distinction between serving and service. It | will be helpful if you keep in mind that the idea of to serve is |
C:20.45 | resistance to expecting willingness is another key change that | will lead toward wholeheartedness. When you change your actions from |
C:20.45 | and use to those of being willing to serve and be served, it | will assist not only you and your peacefulness, but will bring |
C:20.45 | be served, it will assist not only you and your peacefulness, but | will bring peacefulness to the world as well. |
C:21.2 | of parts that the holiness of what is in-between is found. This | will be discussed in more detail later, but for now, I return you, |
C:21.4 | assistance. To begin to conceptualize in ways that touch your heart | will free your mind of its reliance on thought concepts, thus |
C:21.7 | as long as mind and heart interpret meaning in different ways you | will not find peace. You have, in the past, accepted these different |
C:21.7 | path you follow, the path of the mind or the path of the heart, you | will not get where you are wanting to go until they are joined. You |
C:21.7 | wholeheartedness. The path of neither mind nor heart alone | will take you where the path of unity will take you, and the journey |
C:21.7 | neither mind nor heart alone will take you where the path of unity | will take you, and the journey will not be the same. |
C:21.7 | will take you where the path of unity will take you, and the journey | will not be the same. |
C:21.9 | you can determine meaning, and while only a wholehearted approach | will determine true meaning, the truth is the truth and does not |
C:22.1 | We | will talk much more of imagining now, and you may, at first, be |
C:22.1 | for such activity. Your thoughts regarding imagining and imagination | will change with your change in perspective on use. You will no |
C:22.1 | imagination will change with your change in perspective on use. You | will no longer be using your imagination but letting your imagination |
C:22.2 | We | will be letting images serve as learning devices. They will enhance |
C:22.2 | We will be letting images serve as learning devices. They | will enhance our use of language so that our language becomes one for |
C:22.2 | so that our language becomes one for both head and heart. We | will begin by discussing the concept of intersection and look at it |
C:22.2 | as yet discussed how this relationship is provided in form. Now we | will do so. |
C:22.12 | and all that is sitting as that to which you have determined you | will, at some later date, get around to assigning meaning. |
C:22.20 | eventually to tell stories without the use of the “I” pronoun. This | will seem, at first, as if it is depersonalizing the world and making |
C:22.20 | if it is depersonalizing the world and making it less intimate. It | will seem as if you are shirking some primal responsibility to assign |
C:22.22 | as definition to meaning as truth. As odd and impersonal as it | will seem at first, I assure you the feeling of impersonality will be |
C:22.22 | as it will seem at first, I assure you the feeling of impersonality | will be replaced quickly with an intimacy with your surroundings that |
C:22.23 | This intimacy itself | will allow you to see your “self” as an integral part of all that |
C:22.23 | universal becomes available. As the universal becomes available, you | will have no desire for the personal. Even so, you will find that |
C:22.23 | available, you will have no desire for the personal. Even so, you | will find that what you consider your individuality or uniqueness is |
C:22.23 | but that it is different than you have always imagined it to be. You | will find that you fulfill a grand purpose, and have a wonderful part |
C:22.23 | purpose, and have a wonderful part to play in a grand design. You | will not feel cheated by losing your separated self. You will feel |
C:22.23 | design. You will not feel cheated by losing your separated self. You | will feel free. |
C:23.2 | The lessons learned from love | will go a long way in assuaging your remaining fears about the loss |
C:23.2 | fears about the loss of your individuality that you believe | will accompany the loss of your separated self. For, as each of you |
C:23.10 | as well. Think of the way in which the word body is used and this | will be clear. The body politic. A body of knowledge. Belief fostered |
C:23.13 | is required to cause this to be so. It is what is necessary now. It | will change the world. |
C:23.15 | are free of this misperception, this inaccurate belief, your body | will be freed. It will no longer be an object of use but a means of |
C:23.15 | misperception, this inaccurate belief, your body will be freed. It | will no longer be an object of use but a means of service. |
C:23.16 | Freeing your perception from your nearly immutable belief in form | will allow for all changes in form required by the miracle. Form is |
C:23.22 | the belief. It is the composite of your beliefs, the totality. It | will continue to hold former beliefs as well as new beliefs until old |
C:23.24 | opportunities call for a period of engagement with life. Many of you | will have begun to experience unlearning opportunities even while |
C:23.24 | with life cannot be avoided, however, and your attempts to avoid it | will only cause an increase in feelings generated by experiences of |
C:23.24 | of duality. While you hold conflicting beliefs within you, you | will be conflicted and affected by polarity. Unlearning allows you to |
C:23.25 | From this point forward, I assure you, all experiences | will be thus until unlearning is no longer needed. If you will |
C:23.25 | will be thus until unlearning is no longer needed. If you | will remember that the one exercise for your mind is dedicating all |
C:23.25 | one exercise for your mind is dedicating all thought to union, you | will keep your mind engaged and less resistant to unlearning. When |
C:23.25 | to unlearning. When you feel resistance—and of course your mind | will resist unlearning what it has striven to learn—return your |
C:23.26 | What | will happen when you look at each situation as a challenge to your |
C:23.26 | not remember that you are involved in a process of unlearning that | will lead to the conviction you have so long sought, you will indeed |
C:23.26 | that will lead to the conviction you have so long sought, you | will indeed feel tested and will try to take control of the learning |
C:23.26 | conviction you have so long sought, you will indeed feel tested and | will try to take control of the learning situation. Not taking |
C:23.26 | beliefs. As long as you attempt to remain in control, old beliefs | will not be purged. |
C:23.29 | learn previously? What are the lessons? What is the curriculum? How | will you know when you have achieved a learning objective? Yet how |
C:23.29 | and translated into beliefs. Only your own life experiences | will reverse the process. |
C:24.1 | Where you learned to hate, you | will learn to love. Where you learned to fear, you will learn safety. |
C:24.1 | to hate, you will learn to love. Where you learned to fear, you | will learn safety. Where you learned to distrust, you will learn |
C:24.1 | to fear, you will learn safety. Where you learned to distrust, you | will learn trust. And each learning experience will be a learning |
C:24.1 | to distrust, you will learn trust. And each learning experience | will be a learning experience because it will touch your heart. It |
C:24.1 | each learning experience will be a learning experience because it | will touch your heart. It may be as simple as a smile from a child |
C:24.1 | may feel as if everything makes you want to cry because everything | will touch you, each lesson will feel tender. Unlearning has no |
C:24.1 | makes you want to cry because everything will touch you, each lesson | will feel tender. Unlearning has no harshness about it. If you simply |
C:24.1 | has no harshness about it. If you simply allow it to come, it | will reward you constantly with what can best be described as |
C:24.4 | love touch your heart. No lessons that do not touch your heart | will accomplish anything. The purpose of the final lessons are both |
C:24.4 | attention, being present. These are the lessons with which we | will conclude. |
C:25.6 | have projected your fear onto them. Only when you cease to do this | will you feel true devotion. |
C:25.8 | devotion is practiced, is useful during the time of tenderness. It | will lead to the understanding of oneness as completion, an |
C:25.9 | Course and no longer feel duped by life. All of your contests of | will are supported by your contention that you have been misled. It |
C:25.10 | to acquire some perceived ideal separated state, then all action | will be out of harmony. If, however, you have accepted the basic |
C:25.10 | Course and believe you are here to realize unity, then all action | will be in harmony. If you believe you and your brothers and sisters |
C:25.10 | in a state of reprisal, having fallen from grace, then all action | will be out of harmony. If you believe you and all other living |
C:25.10 | other living things are here in a state of grace, then all action | will be in harmony. If you believe one living thing is more important |
C:25.10 | one living thing is more important than any other, then all action | will be out of harmony. If you believe all are essential, then all |
C:25.10 | be out of harmony. If you believe all are essential, then all action | will be in harmony. |
C:25.12 | separated and vulnerable state. During the time of tenderness, you | will learn, through the practice of devotion, to identify and reject |
C:25.13 | time of tenderness is a time of healing, and as you are healed you | will realize you are no longer vulnerable to being wounded. Fear of |
C:25.13 | While you think you can remain disappointed or disillusioned, you | will not be invulnerable. There is always, behind every |
C:25.13 | believe feelings of lack of love come from anywhere but within, you | will not be invulnerable. |
C:25.14 | or an excuse to challenge the mighty forces of humanity or nature, | will eventually lose the game they play. True invulnerability can |
C:25.14 | who recognize it as part of their true identity. Invulnerability | will then serve you and your brothers and sisters. Its service is one |
C:25.16 | this Course is about. Living from love. Living from love is what | will reverse the lessons of the past. Reversing the lessons of the |
C:25.16 | the lessons of the past. Reversing the lessons of the past is what | will allow you to live in love in every instance. |
C:25.18 | you begin to live love, a reverse of what you might expect to happen | will happen. While you may expect that everything will take on |
C:25.18 | expect to happen will happen. While you may expect that everything | will take on greater importance, the reverse will at first be true. |
C:25.18 | expect that everything will take on greater importance, the reverse | will at first be true. You will see little in what you do that |
C:25.18 | take on greater importance, the reverse will at first be true. You | will see little in what you do that matters. You will wonder why you |
C:25.18 | first be true. You will see little in what you do that matters. You | will wonder why you are unconcerned about many of the things you have |
C:25.18 | seem to have less purpose. You may begin to wonder what to do. You | will almost certainly question what you do for a “living.” You will |
C:25.18 | You will almost certainly question what you do for a “living.” You | will question many patterns and habits. |
C:25.19 | be tinged with anxiety, anger, confusion, perplexity, even rage. You | will doubt that these are the proper feelings of a person living |
C:25.19 | common feelings of unlearning, and should be accepted as such. You | will learn that while some things you have done and will continue to |
C:25.19 | as such. You will learn that while some things you have done and | will continue to do may not matter, they may still be done with |
C:25.19 | matter, they may still be done with patience, grace, and love. You | will learn that other things you have done, beliefs you have held, |
C:25.19 | beliefs you have held, patterns and habits that have occupied you, | will not accompany you into your life of love. These you will leave |
C:25.19 | you, will not accompany you into your life of love. These you | will leave behind. |
C:25.20 | created, and a desire to create anew. At this stage, this desire | will come from a feeling of needing to reassert the self. This need |
C:25.20 | will come from a feeling of needing to reassert the self. This need | will arise as you realize that you can take no credit for your life. |
C:25.20 | desire to create may be linked with ego as well. Your personal self | will be looking for a place in which to reside. It will be looking |
C:25.20 | personal self will be looking for a place in which to reside. It | will be looking for identity. It will want to say: “This is who I |
C:25.20 | for a place in which to reside. It will be looking for identity. It | will want to say: “This is who I am.” This is an exciting sign, for |
C:25.20 | is losing hold. Be patient during this time, and your new identity | will emerge. If the urge to create is strong, certainly let it serve |
C:25.20 | for praise or acknowledgment of your creations at this time. You | will soon realize that creation is not of, or for, the personal self. |
C:25.21 | This | will be a time of discernment. You may feel it as a time of decision |
C:25.21 | you attempt to make conscious decisions the quicker your unlearning | will take place and the lessons of discernment occur. Discernment is |
C:25.22 | being still and awaiting wisdom. Your feeling of being identity-less | will make decision-making and choices of all kinds appear to be |
C:25.22 | of unlearning. At the same time, however, decisions and choices | will seem to need to be made with increasing frequency. Your feeling |
C:25.22 | Your feeling of needing to make new choices, while strong, | will not necessarily reflect real need but rather an impatience with |
C:25.22 | need but rather an impatience with the way things are and were. You | will want to force change rather than wait for it to arrive. If you |
C:25.22 | change that does not necessarily require action on your part, you | will feel some relief. |
C:25.23 | posing the question or concern that is in need of appropriate action | will suffice. When an answer comes to you, acknowledge that it is an |
C:25.23 | from your new identity and express appreciation for it. While you | will at times doubt that you have received an answer or that the |
C:25.23 | an answer or that the answer you have received is correct, you | will soon learn to trust this quiet process of discernment. You will |
C:25.23 | you will soon learn to trust this quiet process of discernment. You | will know you have succeeded when you truly feel as if you have |
C:25.24 | contrary to usual patterns of action you have taken in the past, you | will often meet resistance. Try to be lighthearted at such times and |
C:25.24 | try the new way. Remind yourself that you have nothing to lose. You | will soon learn that this is so. You will also soon realize why this |
C:25.24 | you have nothing to lose. You will soon learn that this is so. You | will also soon realize why this time of engagement with life is |
C:26.1 | and adventure, friendships, or financial security. Most of you | will think of having a long life. |
C:26.8 | to become involved with life. I say we because I am with you and | will not leave your side. I say we because your first involvement is |
C:26.9 | You do not yet, but | will soon realize the happiness that is ours. Your mind can just not |
C:26.10 | might mean, who strive to find the clues to what they ask you to do, | will find it difficult to cease your struggle and your striving. You |
C:26.12 | by the day? Are you not anxious to say: “Tell me what to do and I | will do it?” Are you not ready for certainty above all else? Are you |
C:26.20 | I cannot tell you here what you | will hear. How can I, when each of you will hear the answer of your |
C:26.20 | cannot tell you here what you will hear. How can I, when each of you | will hear the answer of your heart? The calling of love to love |
C:26.22 | invention or artistic idea is the completion of the pattern that | will make that idea a masterpiece. An idea is irrevocably linked with |
C:26.24 | it not. Your life here is much like a search for your story. Where | will this chapter lead? What will the end be like? Was one event a |
C:26.24 | like a search for your story. Where will this chapter lead? What | will the end be like? Was one event a mistake and another a blessing |
C:26.25 | spend each day in review or speculation. What has happened and what | will happen next? You attempt to rewrite previous chapters and to |
C:27.5 | Self. Once you have identified your true Self all such confusion | will end. |
C:27.7 | through relationship, your concerns about concentration on the self | will end. Life is not a matter of self versus other. Life is a matter |
C:27.8 | of unity. Thus your relationship with Christ always was and always | will be. Your task here is to come to know that relationship once |
C:27.16 | you pray whether you should pray for specific outcomes or for God’s | Will to be done. You fear being a miracle worker because you do not |
C:27.16 | You fear being a miracle worker because you do not think that you | will ever know what is called for. |
C:27.17 | As you learn to live in relationship in the present, this confusion | will pass. Your relationship will guide you surely to the proper |
C:27.17 | in the present, this confusion will pass. Your relationship | will guide you surely to the proper response. I use the term “proper” |
C:27.18 | Does an understanding of the relationship of all things mean that you | will have power that is not of this world? Will you see the future |
C:27.18 | all things mean that you will have power that is not of this world? | Will you see the future and the past, be cognizant of destiny and of |
C:27.19 | to be. It is a knowing felt within the heart for which there still | will be no proof, but for which there will be the certainty you |
C:27.19 | heart for which there still will be no proof, but for which there | will be the certainty you heretofore have lacked. The typical fears |
C:27.19 | have lacked. The typical fears you have experienced in the past | will not arise within this knowing. |
C:27.20 | How | will you know when you have achieved the state of grace in which you |
C:27.20 | which you were created, and that you are living in relationship? You | will know by the certainty you feel. If you do not feel this |
C:27.21 | You are ready now, and all that | will you prevent you from living a life of love is unwillingness to |
C:27.21 | is only one remaining source of such unwillingness. Your willingness | will now depend on whether or not you trust. Do you trust these |
C:28.4 | This sharing of personal testimony has reached its zenith and | will no longer be as welcomed or appreciated, so even were the intent |
C:28.12 | now, “Are you saying to do nothing?” At the thought of this you | will be aghast and, what is more, bitterly disappointed. Again, as in |
C:28.13 | is where you are supposed to be. The path to follow to all changes | will be shown to you if you will but be attentive. If you follow the |
C:28.13 | to be. The path to follow to all changes will be shown to you if you | will but be attentive. If you follow the way that is shown to you, |
C:28.13 | If you follow the way that is shown to you, all uncertainty | will end. Uncertainty is where difficulty lies. Certainty and ease as |
C:28.13 | for you to make. There is only a call for a dedicated and devoted | will, a will dedicated to the present moment, to those who are sent |
C:28.13 | to make. There is only a call for a dedicated and devoted will, a | will dedicated to the present moment, to those who are sent to you |
C:28.13 | are sent to you and to how you are guided to respond to them. One | will be a teacher, another a student. The difference will be clear if |
C:28.13 | to them. One will be a teacher, another a student. The difference | will be clear if you listen with your heart. |
C:29.2 | with subjugation, particularly the idea of service to a higher | Will or higher Cause. Some of you associate it with a lack of free |
C:29.2 | Will or higher Cause. Some of you associate it with a lack of free | will, a lack of choice, a course that will lead you to a subservient |
C:29.2 | it with a lack of free will, a lack of choice, a course that | will lead you to a subservient stature. Others think of it in terms |
C:29.4 | your goals. These adjustments in your attitude toward service | will bring about the completion of the cycle of giving and receiving, |
C:29.6 | 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 seeks for you, |
C:29.9 | colors of life. Life, not death, assures your approach. God Himself | will guide your entry. |
C:29.10 | falsely that which you would imitate from creation. In work too you | will find an example of this. For you all know that work and service |
C:29.14 | No wholeness | will be possible for you while you look at life in terms of |
C:29.14 | schedules, plans, time-tables, or things to get done. No wholeness | will be possible for you while you compartmentalize your life into |
C:29.17 | is joy. Once you have given up your belief in separation this | will be known to you. |
C:30.3 | learning in order to find out who you are or what your contribution | will eventually be. |
C:30.5 | toward what might be called universal consciousness, though you | will not know it when it is at first achieved. For universal |
C:30.11 | the Course is speaking of now, in essence, is gain without loss. You | will never be aware of gain without loss while you believe in what is |
C:30.11 | some proof or validation. You might think if you are “right” you | will be successful, if you are “successful” you will be secure, if |
C:30.11 | you are “right” you will be successful, if you are “successful” you | will be secure, if you are “good” you will prosper. You do not see |
C:30.11 | if you are “successful” you will be secure, if you are “good” you | will prosper. You do not see these ways of thinking as ideas |
C:31.1 | There is only one Mind, just as there is only one | Will. This you are afraid of, as you believe this statement threatens |
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 God can you |
C:31.11 | the ego. Without dislodging your belief in your ego as yourself you | will never realize your true identity. |
C:31.14 | of giving and receiving that, being finally and totally understood, | will free you to be wholehearted. |
C:31.16 | safe, acceptable, presentable. The portion that your ego has deemed | will cause you no risk. It is the ego that asks: Are you certain that |
C:31.16 | ego that asks: Are you certain that if you share that feeling, you | will still be loved? Are you certain that if you reveal that secret, |
C:31.16 | still be loved? Are you certain that if you reveal that secret, you | will still be safe? Are you certain that if you try something new, |
C:31.16 | still be safe? Are you certain that if you try something new, you | will still be accepted? It is the ego that deems honesty a game; the |
C:31.28 | If you but change what you look for, what you see and what you learn | will also change. |
C:31.36 | You also seek to know your brothers and sisters so that you | will come to know what to expect from them. Once you have determined |
C:32.2 | learning mode you are most comfortable. All learning modes, however, | will eventually return you to the Source, which is Love. The |
C:32.2 | are of one Mind and one Heart, and that regardless of this truth you | will not, in coming to know and experience this, lose your Self. The |
C:32.3 | join in wholeheartedness in the embrace. You are home, and there you | will forever stay. |
C:32.5 | away. Give to me the thoughts that remain to trouble you and I | will return them to you transformed by Love. Do not grieve your |
C:32.5 | your thoughts or believe in loss of anything of any kind. Thus | will all you have already received be remembered in this time of the |
T1:1.1 | and the means are sought for the union of being with that which | will provide for peace. Knowing not what this is, is the source of |
T1:1.2 | of this state of being requires further guidance. Thus this Treatise | will attempt to give specific examples of what to look for as your |
T1:1.2 | responses from those of a split mind. Its further purpose | will be to identify the service that you can provide once your |
T1:1.4 | and learned from. It is in the present-moment experience that you | will receive the blessing of being able to respond differently to |
T1:1.5 | is that of separating illusion from the truth. This act | will require no effort for what you have learned in this Course has |
T1:1.5 | situation that re-enacts a previous learning experience arises, you | will, if you trust your heart, be perfectly able to identify illusion |
T1:1.5 | recognizing meaning. All that you believe you learned from illusion | will have no meaning to you now and will allow you to give up any |
T1:1.5 | you learned from illusion will have no meaning to you now and | will allow you to give up any remnants of false learning you |
T1:1.5 | All that you learned in error from identifying love incorrectly | will be relearned as love is properly identified. |
T1:1.6 | instructed you to trust in your heart, your reunited mind and heart | will now be called to act in unison. That A Course of Love instructed |
T1:1.10 | The joy that | will come to you from the thoughts of a mind joined in union will be |
T1:1.10 | that will come to you from the thoughts of a mind joined in union | will be unparalleled in your experience here. “Ah,” you will say with |
T1:1.10 | in union will be unparalleled in your experience here. “Ah,” you | will say with a relief and joy that knows no bounds, “this is what it |
T1:1.10 | only illusion and called it reality, the mind joined in union | will now, more and more, recognize only truth and experience only the |
T1:1.11 | You can already imagine what an extensive change this | will bring, and, as you are still experiencing change in time, |
T1:2.10 | It is only your attention to the existence of this higher order that | will reveal its laws to you. These are the laws of God or the laws of |
T1:2.12 | but a dialogue to which you have not responded. The art of thought | will free you to respond. |
T1:2.17 | higher world and the eternal. It binds you to all those who have and | will experience the sunset by being a shared experience. It is there |
T1:2.20 | in relation to a sunset, its application to all areas of life | will at first seem quite demanding. But what is elementary remains |
T1:3.1 | to memory in terms of your experience here. In other words they | will relate to the re-experiencing of all that you believe has shaped |
T1:3.9 | you would feel that you had not requested a bigger miracle. You | will almost feel panic at the thought of such a choice being put |
T1:3.9 | panic at the thought of such a choice being put before you. If you | will agree to choose a miracle at all, which many of you will balk at |
T1:3.9 | you. If you will agree to choose a miracle at all, which many of you | will balk at doing, you want to choose the “right” miracle. Some of |
T1:3.9 | otherwise about yourself. If you ask for a cure for a disease, how | will you know that this cure is a miracle and not the result of |
T1:3.12 | no idle request. Whatever is necessary to convince you now is what I | will provide. Such is the urgency of the time, the urgency for the |
T1:3.14 | hold this thought within your mind. What is needed to convince you | will be provided. Such is the urgency of your return to unity. If not |
T1:3.14 | is the urgency of your return to unity. If not now, then soon, you | will be asked to make this final choice, this choice to leave fear |
T1:3.16 | consider your objections to miracles one-by-one for in so doing we | will uncover the source of all your fears as well as the Source of |
T1:3.17 | First you | will say you have no objections to miracles, only to having them |
T1:3.17 | through you. Your lack of willingness to perform miracles, you | will say, stems from your unworthiness to perform miracles. Your |
T1:3.23 | Although many more fears might prevail upon you, we | will consider only one further fear, the fear of making the wrong |
T1:4.2 | the miracles that express the truth of who you are. This Treatise | will put your instruction fully under my guidance and allow you to |
T1:4.10 | Think of all you now feel responsible for and this lesson | will become more clear. While your first thoughts will automatically |
T1:4.10 | and this lesson will become more clear. While your first thoughts | will automatically go to a lengthy list of those concerns associated |
T1:4.10 | of those concerns associated with the survival of the body, they | will miss a whole aspect of concerns associated with keeping others |
T1:4.14 | Would not this kind of a creator be at odds with the concept of free | will? |
T1:4.17 | are an independent thinker, something you have prized. Some of you | will accept another’s interpretation of meaning if it is helpful to |
T1:4.20 | that is uniquely your own is as nothing compared to the joy that | will come to you from a response that is uniquely you. But you must |
T1:4.20 | interpretation before you can learn to respond. I realize that this | will concern you while you continue to not realize the difference |
T1:4.21 | stated, the first opportunities for you to learn the art of thought | will be provided through what we have called the re-experiencing of |
T1:4.21 | to re-experience the lessons your life has brought you. You | will experience the same lessons in the same way, rather than in a |
T1:4.21 | thought rather than the thinking of the ego-mind. The art of thought | will reveal the truth to you. The thinking of the ego-mind would |
T1:4.26 | of this confusion sink in, for this is the reversal in thinking that | will pave the way for all the rest. Because of this confusion you |
T1:4.27 | has not been reconciled with your experience here. This is what we | will now seek to do by putting an end to fear and ushering in, with |
T1:5.8 | is real. Nothing is as real as everything, and is what some of you | will or have experienced as a “dark night of the soul.” To realize |
T1:5.9 | the heart where the real Self abides. There is nothing else that | will free who you are but freedom from the ego’s thought system. That |
T1:5.9 | of study and the reason, when you have freed your self, that you | will look back and see how easy this one choice really is. |
T1:5.12 | You must experience the reality of the new thought system or it | will remain forever theoretical. You must let go of the foundation of |
T1:5.13 | system by being willing to replace the old with the new. While this | will at first be a learned activity, and as such have its moments of |
T1:5.13 | it is learned only in the sense of practicing the mindfulness that | will allow the memory of it to return to you. |
T1:5.14 | different expressions of the union of mind and heart. Mindfulness | will aid you in remembering. Wholeheartedness will aid you in |
T1:5.14 | and heart. Mindfulness will aid you in remembering. Wholeheartedness | will aid you in reconciling the laws of God with the laws of man. |
T1:5.14 | the laws of God with the laws of man. Through mindfulness you | will remember who you are. Through wholeheartedness you will be who |
T1:5.14 | you will remember who you are. Through wholeheartedness you | will be who are. |
T1:5.15 | It is in this way that you | will enter a time of miracles, put an end to suffering, and thus |
T1:6.1 | truth is always present and can be neither learned nor unlearned. It | will thus be revealed to you as soon as the learned thought system |
T1:6.2 | How is this revelation to take place? It | will begin by learning the art of thought as the act of prayer. We |
T1:6.9 | of heaven through the second coming of Christ, the energy that | will bridge the two worlds. |
T1:7.1 | be, and the feeling of not being able to be accomplished or complete | will still be with you. Recall the many times you felt certain that a |
T1:7.4 | how effective they were and no matter how much they spoke the truth | will be to not learn the new. |
T1:7.5 | possible. If you do not let what you have attained serve you, you | will not realize what this new learning has been for. You may reach |
T1:7.5 | You may reach an ideal of human satisfaction and happiness, but you | will not go beyond what is human. |
T1:8.1 | the 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. |
T1:8.2 | the life.” 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 |
T1:8.2 | Thus too have you been. God is the giver of life, thus life is God’s | Will. But with my resurrection, which was accomplished for all, the |
T1:8.5 | Word incarnate upon my resurrection rather than upon my birth. This | will seem confusing given your definition of incarnation as the Word |
T1:8.17 | and mind. Lest you think that this union is not all-encompassing, we | will reflect a moment here on how the art of thought brings all you |
T1:9.1 | virgin or unaltered self. The practice of the art of thought is what | will complete the return begun through the coursework in A Course of |
T1:9.1 | the return begun through the coursework in A Course of Love. This | will bring about the union of the male and female, of conception and |
T1:9.11 | What | will it mean to bring about the union of the male and female, of |
T1:9.11 | of conception and action, of inspiration and manifestation? It | will mean union and a time of miracles. It will mean that you are the |
T1:9.11 | and manifestation? It will mean union and a time of miracles. It | will mean that you are the living Body of Christ. |
T1:9.13 | Lest you fight these ideas as stereotypical, I | will give just a few brief examples. These I ask you to cull from |
T1:9.14 | questions to answer as your initial reaction and your response | will likely have taken on different forms. You may for instance, have |
T1:9.14 | old pattern, or the pattern of the ego. What breaks the ego’s hold | will be the second reaction, or the turning away from the old. |
T1:9.15 | a sense of diminished self-esteem or worthiness. The first | will feel like an intellectual position. The second like a feeling |
T1:9.15 | Turning away from the intellectual position to one of feeling | will most readily and quickly solve the first. The second will be |
T1:9.15 | of feeling will most readily and quickly solve the first. The second | will be most readily and quickly overcome by a turn toward reason or |
T1:9.15 | by a turn toward reason or the intellect. The perceived attack | will have entered at the place where you have placed your highest |
T1:9.15 | protect and use that which you have most valued. Now your response | will have been changing. You will not see so much to value in what |
T1:9.15 | you have most valued. Now your response will have been changing. You | will not see so much to value in what has called your ego into action |
T1:9.15 | not see so much to value in what has called your ego into action and | will turn away from it. |
T1:9.16 | When the different attributes are merged, male and female | will be no more and wholeness will reign. |
T1:9.16 | attributes are merged, male and female will be no more and wholeness | will reign. |
T1:10.1 | center of your Self now and the issues that you choose to deal with | will not affect that core of peace at all. While you may find this |
T1:10.1 | core of peace at all. While you may find this almost disturbing, you | will not go to extremes to break this peace. |
T1:10.2 | have asked for it and it has been given to you. To not have it, you | will have to choose not to have it. And this will be tempting on |
T1:10.2 | To not have it, you will have to choose not to have it. And this | will be tempting on occasion. You will wonder at the lack of extremes |
T1:10.2 | to choose not to have it. And this will be tempting on occasion. You | will wonder at the lack of extremes in your feelings and want to |
T1:10.2 | lack of extremes in your feelings and want to bring them back. You | will experience this loss of extremes as a lack. You will think |
T1:10.2 | them back. You will experience this loss of extremes as a lack. You | will think something is wrong. You will feel this particularly when |
T1:10.2 | loss of extremes as a lack. You will think something is wrong. You | will feel this particularly when others around you experience |
T1:10.2 | A friend is experiencing feelings on an extreme level and this | will seem to tell you that this friend is really alive. Whether it be |
T1:10.2 | that this friend is really alive. Whether it be joy or sorrow, it | will seem real in a way that peace does not. It will seem so human |
T1:10.2 | be joy or sorrow, it will seem real in a way that peace does not. It | will seem so human that a wave of desire to be fully human will wash |
T1:10.2 | not. It will seem so human that a wave of desire to be fully human | will wash over you. You will think that this human who has caught |
T1:10.2 | that a wave of desire to be fully human will wash over you. You | will think that this human who has caught your attention is fully |
T1:10.2 | attention is fully engaged and fully experiencing the moment. You | will think this is what you want. And I say again that it will not |
T1:10.2 | You will think this is what you want. And I say again that it | will not matter whether it be joy or sorrow for you are, or have |
T1:10.3 | How often have you given yourself over to those highs and lows? You | will be tempted to give yourself over once again in this most human |
T1:10.3 | to give yourself over once again in this most human of ways. You | will cry and laugh for the poignancy of the human experience. This is |
T1:10.3 | the poignancy of the human experience. This is the known that you | will be tempted not to give up. If you can’t be moved from your peace |
T1:10.3 | the most profound sorrow or the most all-encompassing joy, you | will feel inhuman. You will think that this cannot be where you are |
T1:10.3 | sorrow or the most all-encompassing joy, you will feel inhuman. You | will think that this cannot be where you are meant to be, what you |
T1:10.3 | cannot be where you are meant to be, what you are meant to feel. You | will wonder what is wrong with you. |
T1:10.4 | is not a right or wrong choice but it is a choice. It is your free | will to continue to make this choice. |
T1:10.5 | You used your free | will to choose the human experience. Now are you willing to use it to |
T1:10.5 | to become accustomed to joy without sorrow? If you cannot, you | will continue to create hell as well as heaven and will continue the |
T1:10.5 | you cannot, you will continue to create hell as well as heaven and | will continue the separation between the divine and the human. Is |
T1:10.7 | would take peace from you. But as you have been told before, you | will be giving up nothing. It will seem as if it is so for a while |
T1:10.7 | But as you have been told before, you will be giving up nothing. It | will seem as if it is so for a while perhaps. You will continue to be |
T1:10.7 | up nothing. It will seem as if it is so for a while perhaps. You | will continue to be attracted to those living at the extremes and |
T1:10.9 | Each of you | will have an experience you look back on, an experience of profound |
T1:10.9 | or grief that also became an experience of profound learning. You | will think that you would not be who you are now without experiences |
T1:10.9 | not be who you are now without experiences such as this one. You | will think that I cannot possibly be asking you to give up these |
T1:10.13 | Yet let the memory of the truth return to you now and you | will see that peace is all you have sought learning to attain. If you |
T1:10.13 | to attain. If you do not pause now and accept that it is here, you | will not know the Peace of God that is your own Self. |
T2:1.1 | not as yet recognize is going to be recognized. Once recognized it | will begin to be regarded as an ability. And finally, through |
T2:1.1 | to be regarded as an ability. And finally, through experience, it | will become your identity. We will begin by discussing the nature of |
T2:1.1 | And finally, through experience, it will become your identity. We | will begin by discussing the nature of treasure. |
T2:1.3 | value. As this Treatise is not concerned with material treasure, we | will not explore the dimensions of physical treasure except to say |
T2:1.3 | is capable of being a treasure or being treasured are of the ego. We | will instead assume that you have moved beyond these ego concerns and |
T2:1.5 | No matter how peaceful this place of rest may at first seem, it | will soon become stagnant and unsatisfying. Left in such a place |
T2:1.9 | performances in a magnificent concert hall or a little spinet that | will grace a living room and invite friends and family to gather |
T2:1.11 | to any thoughts you have had before. Your thoughts of a grand piano | will never create a grand piano. What kind of thoughts, then, would |
T2:1.13 | goal, such as that of music lessons or the purchase of a piano, you | will never reach the goals associated with those tangible steps. |
T2:1.13 | make an instrument unnecessary for a musician or mean that a painter | will not eventually put a brush to a canvas. But it does mean that |
T2:1.14 | This change in thinking in regards to treasures you do recognize | will pave the way for recognition of treasures you heretofore have |
T2:2.7 | to recognize the unseen and to imagine the existence of that which | will reveal its true nature and its joy. |
T2:3.5 | in the world as your Christ-Self rather than as your ego-self that | will aid you in expression. Without expression, the return to unity |
T2:3.5 | Without expression, the return to unity that has been accomplished | will not be realized. |
T2:4.5 | You | will almost literally continue to “bump in” to who you think you are |
T2:4.19 | your awareness of it grows, it is going to raise it to a level you | will come to think of as an ability. As your old way of responding to |
T2:4.19 | replaces that old pattern with a new pattern of response, you | will begin to see that each new response is the answer to a call that |
T2:5.1 | request to make of you, as in a call to be a minister, nor that it | will come in but one form, as in a call to action. We have talked |
T2:5.1 | shone into the darkness and is revelatory in nature. Other calls | will come as announcements, signs, or even as seeming demands. All |
T2:5.2 | basic level, a means of communication. If you are not listening, you | will not hear the calls that are meant for you. If you are looking |
T2:5.2 | for you. If you are looking only for a specific type of call, you | will miss many unlearning and learning opportunities. Thus |
T2:5.7 | fully integrated the truth that giving and receiving are one, you | will not fully believe that needs are not lacks. Until you have fully |
T2:5.7 | fully integrated the truth that giving and receiving are one, you | will not realize that dependency is a matter of the interdependency |
T2:5.7 | Thus, all the calls that come to you in the form of signs or demands | will be calls that assist you in integrating this learning and making |
T2:5.7 | this learning and making it one with who you are. These lessons | will bring who you are into focus within your mind through the |
T2:6.2 | without the barriers of time you but place upon your thinking, you | will advance this process and more quickly bring about the end of the |
T2:6.5 | accomplishing anything without taking into account the time that it | will take? Relate this question to our discussion of treasure and you |
T2:6.5 | take? Relate this question to our discussion of treasure and you | will understand what it is of which I speak. You believe that your |
T2:6.6 | It is not an outcome but a certainty. It says I am rather than I | will be. I will be is a statement that presumes a future in which you |
T2:6.6 | an outcome but a certainty. It says I am rather than I will be. I | will be is a statement that presumes a future in which you will be |
T2:6.6 | be. I will be is a statement that presumes a future in which you | will be someone other than who you are in the present. Unity exists |
T2:6.6 | Unity exists only in the here and now of the present. There is no | will be in unity. There is only what is. Thus the limits you would |
T2:6.10 | you think you are, you can begin to see that this change in thinking | will release your heart, returning it to its natural realm. Thus does |
T2:7.6 | This source is the ego. Even now, the ego | will take every opportunity that arises to prove to you that |
T2:7.6 | that independence is a far better state than that of dependence. It | will work diligently to convince you that any course that tries to |
T2:7.6 | be resisted. As long as you continue to listen to your ego you | will not understand giving and receiving as one and will not believe |
T2:7.6 | to your ego you will not understand giving and receiving as one and | will not believe in it. |
T2:7.7 | into the living of your life. Each time another thwarts you, you | will be tempted to believe that giving and receiving as one is not |
T2:7.7 | as one is not taking place. Your previous pattern of behavior | will be quick to assert itself and you will feel resentment and claim |
T2:7.7 | previous pattern of behavior will be quick to assert itself and you | will feel resentment and claim that the situation is unfair. You will |
T2:7.7 | you will feel resentment and claim that the situation is unfair. You | will be tempted to withhold as others withhold from you. |
T2:7.8 | how important it is to living in peace that this pattern be broken? | Will you live in peace only until some “other” breaks your peace? |
T2:7.10 | much attention, the idea of the desire for change. Certainly there | will continue to be things within your life that are in need of |
T2:7.10 | for change. But once you have become happier with who you are, you | will, if left un-schooled, turn your attention to others and to |
T2:7.10 | and to situations you would have be different than they are. You | will want to be a change-agent. You will want to move into the world |
T2:7.10 | be different than they are. You will want to be a change-agent. You | will want to move into the world and be an active force within it. |
T2:7.10 | are aims consistent with the teachings of this Course, but what | will prevent you from following the patterns of old as you go out |
T2:7.11 | The only thing that | will prevent this is your ability to go out into the world and remain |
T2:7.13 | be of service. For as long as you believe in your independence you | will not accept your dependence. You will not accept giving and |
T2:7.13 | in your independence you will not accept your dependence. You | will not accept giving and receiving as one if you feel able only to |
T2:7.14 | and receiving as one. You believe, in other words, that your needs | will be provided for, thus ceasing to be needs. To deny that you are |
T2:7.15 | not only about choosing what good and helpful parts of yourself you | will share with the world. It is also about giving the world the |
T2:7.15 | that if you have a need for money or time or honesty or love, it | will be provided. |
T2:7.16 | as if an active stance toward trust would be distrustful. You thus | will often say that you trust when what you are doing is hoping for a |
T2:7.21 | While as stated previously, this belief | will at times seem difficult to put into practice, and while your |
T2:7.21 | you experience giving and receiving being one in truth, your belief | will become true conviction. Your ability to recognize giving and |
T2:8.1 | to be split by special relationships. While your love relationships | will provide a rich learning ground for you now, they must also now |
T2:8.2 | who you are within these relationships must be let go. All that | will complement who you are must be received. Thus the nature of many |
T2:8.2 | to change. Remember now that there is no loss but only gain, or you | will feel threatened by what you will imagine to be loss. Remember |
T2:8.2 | is no loss but only gain, or you will feel threatened by what you | will imagine to be loss. Remember too the practice of devotion for in |
T2:8.3 | to the goal of being who you are may at first seem selfish, it | will soon be revealed to be the most sincere form of relationship. |
T2:8.3 | of relationship. The calls that come to you now as signs and demands | will not only aid you in your realization of who you are and your |
T2:8.3 | of who you are and your ability to live as who you are, but | will aid all others. This is giving and receiving as one. What you |
T2:8.3 | aid all others. This is giving and receiving as one. What you gain | will take nothing from anyone. What another is able to give you will |
T2:8.3 | gain will take nothing from anyone. What another is able to give you | will take nothing from them, and what you are able to give another |
T2:8.3 | will take nothing from them, and what you are able to give another | will take nothing from you. |
T2:8.5 | that you know your own truth and an acceptance that that truth | will not change. As we have said that you are not called to a static |
T2:8.6 | onto the paths of seeking. The truth of yourself that you reveal now | will not become a new truth as you take a new path. Your path now is |
T2:8.6 | that would take you away from your true Self. Never again | will you be away from home for home is who you are, a “place” you |
T2:8.7 | How much time | will be saved by an end to empty seeking? You have already arrived |
T2:8.7 | arrived and need no time to journey any longer. How much time | will be saved by an end to the maintenance required by special |
T2:9.3 | aspect of treasure relates to your ability to let go. As many of you | will find the idea of letting go of special relationships among the |
T2:9.8 | already have as the already accomplished. All that you would give | will take nothing away from you. |
T2:9.14 | thinking has momentarily returned. This does not mean that you | will never be at rest or that you will be constantly seeking to |
T2:9.14 | This does not mean that you will never be at rest or that you | will be constantly seeking to arrive. As has already been said, you |
T2:9.15 | you are lacking. Once this perception has shifted, your ego-mind | will cease to be fed by these concerns. What is food for the ego-mind |
T2:9.15 | food for the ego-mind is fear and the removal of these final fears | will quite literally starve the ego-mind out of existence. |
T2:9.16 | An understanding of the mutuality of needs | will aid you in being honest about your needs, thus allowing them to |
T2:9.16 | and ongoing fulfillment is complete. Once this trust is realized you | will no longer think in terms of needs at all. Once you are no longer |
T2:9.16 | you are no longer concerned with needs and the meeting of needs you | will no longer be concerned with special relationships. You will |
T2:9.16 | you will no longer be concerned with special relationships. You | will realize that there is no loss but only gain involved in letting |
T2:9.17 | Holding on to what you think | will meet your needs is like holding your breath. Your breath cannot |
T2:9.18 | experience on which trust can grow. Once this trust is realized you | will no longer think of trust just as you will no longer think of |
T2:9.18 | this trust is realized you will no longer think of trust just as you | will no longer think of needs. |
T2:9.19 | Ceasing to think in these terms | will soon be seen as a valuable ability and a timesaving measure of |
T2:9.19 | of great magnitude. As these old ways of thinking leave you, you | will be left as who you are in truth. |
T2:10.1 | to turn the lessons of this Course into a tool, but many of you | will not tire of this work until you succeed. This is how truths |
T2:10.4 | is contained. The technology that has created super-computers | will immediately come to mind from this illustration. While this |
T2:10.10 | the universe. The learning you are in need of is the learning that | will call who you are back to your united mind and heart. This is the |
T2:10.12 | to learn in the same way that you have previously learned, you | will not learn because the “you” that will be involved in the |
T2:10.12 | have previously learned, you will not learn because the “you” that | will be involved in the learning process will not be the real you. |
T2:10.12 | because the “you” that will be involved in the learning process | will not be the real you. |
T2:11.2 | though you now have a much clearer understanding of who you are, you | will find living as who you are in the world difficult as long as you |
T2:11.2 | old rules, the laws of man rather than the laws of God or love. It | will seem all but impossible to live in relationship when those |
T2:11.2 | convinced of their separation and still seeking to glorify it. You | will still perceive of the world as operating under the laws of man |
T2:11.2 | of man and as long as you perceive of the world in such a way you | will be forced to live by its laws. This will cause struggle and, as |
T2:11.2 | the world in such a way you will be forced to live by its laws. This | will cause struggle and, as you now know that struggle of any kind |
T2:11.2 | that struggle of any kind alerts you to the presence of ego, you | will continue to do battle with the ego rather than leaving it |
T2:11.4 | the ego has been the known identity of your existence until now, it | will, in a sense, be forever with you, much as the body that is your |
T2:11.4 | in a sense, be forever with you, much as the body that is your form | will remain with you until your death. But while your perception of |
T2:11.8 | said, the ego, having been with you from your earliest remembering, | will continue to be with you, in the way that all learned behaviors |
T2:11.10 | this total reversal of thought concerning yourself and your world | will be difficult you are listening to your ego. The Christ in you |
T2:11.15 | the ego is real. As long as you believe that the ego is real, you | will feel as if there are two identities that exist within you and |
T2:11.15 | feel as if there are two identities that exist within you and you | will see yourself as doing battle in countless ways and forms. There |
T2:11.15 | will see yourself as doing battle in countless ways and forms. There | will never actually be a battle going on between Christ and the ego, |
T2:11.15 | actually be a battle going on between Christ and the ego, but you | will perceive that such battles exist. You will be prone to calling |
T2:11.15 | and the ego, but you will perceive that such battles exist. You | will be prone to calling upon the Christ as your higher self to |
T2:11.15 | world. This battle of good and evil, while you believe in it still, | will be demonstrated before you just as it has been from time |
T2:11.16 | replacement. As long as you hang on to both identities the world | will not change and you will not know who you are. You may think you |
T2:11.16 | as you hang on to both identities the world will not change and you | will not know who you are. You may think you know, and you may waste |
T2:11.17 | I have said that the ego | will remain with you as the identity you have learned since birth |
T2:11.17 | and wondering, if you have not yet replaced it, how this miracle | will come about. This replacement is indeed a miracle and the very |
T2:12.3 | here is the service I offer you, the precursor of the service you | will offer to others. |
T2:12.4 | As such they are agreements. They do not take away free | will but free the will to respond to truth. They are the ultimate |
T2:12.4 | they are agreements. They do not take away free will but free the | will to respond to truth. They are the ultimate acceptance of giving |
T2:12.5 | While you continue to feel as if you do not understand miracles, you | will be reluctant to believe in them or to see yourself as a miracle |
T2:12.10 | and water, light and air. The gardener knows that tending the garden | will help it to flourish and show its abundance. The gardener knows |
T2:13.4 | as a thinking being. Think not that I was different than you and you | will realize that we are truly one in being with our Father. As you |
T2:13.4 | forth in this Treatise. Know that, in the time of unity, the truth | will be shared by all. |
T3:1.1 | present to others. This is the only way in which the personal self | will continue to exist following the completion and the integration |
T3:1.3 | of the Self that you are is what we work toward in this Treatise and | will lead to true vision and to a new world. |
T3:1.4 | Thus, as your personal self becomes a representation of the truth it | will become who you are in truth. |
T3:1.8 | to others and that this is the only way in which the personal self | will now continue to exist. This statement implies and acknowledges |
T3:1.8 | While when joined with the truth, this representation | will be acknowledged as what it is and as the truth of who you are, |
T3:1.10 | To say that the personal self | will now exist only as the self you present to others is to say that |
T3:1.10 | as the self you present to others is to say that the personal self | will now cease to be seen as your reality. |
T3:2.3 | you have accepted in much the same way you have accepted your free | will as that which allows you to be separate from and independent of |
T3:2.9 | how much one might try to read meaning into the meaningless, it | will not be found there. The meaningless has no ability to change the |
T3:2.13 | quickly replaced with a new idea about yourself or its hold on you | will remain. |
T3:3.2 | “Love me in spite of these traits that are not loveable and then I | will know your love is true.” You make this same statement to |
T3:3.9 | continue to see the call of this Course as a call to goodness, you | will surely fail. |
T3:4.1 | own teacher is the only way to learn a new curriculum. This Course | will not call you to effort of any kind. It will not tell you to |
T3:4.1 | curriculum. This Course will not call you to effort of any kind. It | will not tell you to leave behind your addictions or to go on a diet |
T3:4.1 | you to leave behind your addictions or to go on a diet or a fast. It | will not even tell you to be kind. It does not tell you to be |
T3:4.7 | civilizations. But as we have said before, the only replacement that | will work is the replacement of illusion with the truth. The very |
T3:4.8 | I repeat, and | will do so again and again, that the ego-self is gone from you. |
T3:4.8 | things: to proceed toward love or fear. If you proceed with fear you | will assemble a new ego-self, an ego-self that perhaps will seem |
T3:4.8 | with fear you will assemble a new ego-self, an ego-self that perhaps | will seem superior to the old, but which will nonetheless still be an |
T3:4.8 | an ego-self that perhaps will seem superior to the old, but which | will nonetheless still be an ego-self. If you proceed with love, you |
T3:4.8 | will nonetheless still be an ego-self. If you proceed with love, you | will come to know your Christ-Self. |
T3:5.8 | in time, in time extending both forward and back. Each father’s son | will die. This means not what you have taken it to mean, an endless |
T3:5.8 | of generations passing. What this means is that in each the ego | will die and the Self be reborn to life eternal. Without rebirth of |
T3:5.8 | purpose cannot go unfulfilled. What this means is that the illusion | will be no more and truth will reign. Such is the reign of God. |
T3:5.8 | What this means is that the illusion will be no more and truth | will reign. Such is the reign of God. |
T3:6.2 | the meaning of life and death. But this is one of the key ideas that | will keep you from yourself and has much to do with your former |
T3:6.4 | must still be discussed. While bitterness remains, vengeance | will remain. You have been shown that God is not a God of vengeance |
T3:6.5 | bitterness is all that you have forced, through sheer strength of | will, to pierce the holiness of your hearts. Bitterness and the idea |
T3:6.6 | Bring bitterness no longer to the dwelling place of Christ and we | will seal the place of its entrance with the sweetness of love so |
T3:6.6 | place of its entrance with the sweetness of love so that bitterness | will be no more. |
T3:8.1 | now beyond representations to meaning so that what you represent | will move beyond representations to the truth. Realize here the |
T3:8.2 | forgotten this, despite the many repetitions of our aim, and you | will be more aware of your resistance and your need to let it go. |
T3:8.3 | thought system. As long as you carry this bitterness within you, you | will remain in the house of illusion for your feelings are as real to |
T3:8.3 | other than the truth remains real to you, your house of illusion | will remain a real structure, a structure that keeps you from the |
T3:8.8 | Why should you not be bitter when you and all of those you love | will surely suffer and eventually die? Why should you not be bitter |
T3:8.8 | bring about. While such a thought remains inconceivable to you it | will not come to be. |
T3:8.9 | the representation of the true Self within the House of Truth | will cause the creation of the new. |
T3:9.1 | idea that says that if you live from love and within love’s laws you | will create only love. It is an idea that accepts that this can be |
T3:9.2 | While you cannot now see the chain of events that | will make these ideas into a new reality, you can trust that they |
T3:9.2 | will make these ideas into a new reality, you can trust that they | will be there, spreading out like a web, much as the ego’s ideas of |
T3:9.2 | separation once did. Yet, as these ideas are not learned ideas, they | will not take time, as did the ego’s ideas, to spread through |
T3:9.3 | blocks of knowledge, as if learning a new alphabet. Yet you soon | will find that this new reality is known to you and requires no new |
T3:9.3 | new reality is known to you and requires no new learning at all. You | will be tempted, at first, to see things that are like unto those |
T3:9.3 | and call them what you called them once before. But here you | will find yourself gently corrected and when this correction is given |
T3:9.3 | find yourself gently corrected and when this correction is given you | will not doubt it but will remember that it is the truth you had |
T3:9.3 | and when this correction is given you will not doubt it but | will remember that it is the truth you had forgotten. |
T3:9.4 | You | will see that the house of illusion was just a structure built within |
T3:9.4 | benevolent embrace. No one stands beyond the embrace of love and you | will be glad to see that those who remain within the house of |
T3:9.5 | You | will be tempted, nonetheless, to re-enter the house of illusion, if |
T3:9.5 | hands of those you love and gently tug them through its doors. You | will be able to take note of the explosions happening within and will |
T3:9.5 | You will be able to take note of the explosions happening within and | will want to return to add your own to those going on inside, |
T3:9.5 | on inside, thinking that with the force of one more, maybe the walls | will finally come tumbling down and those inside be held within |
T3:10.1 | must realize that while meaninglessness exists within your mind, you | will be working still to replace it with meaning rather than allowing |
T3:10.1 | lessons needed in regard to the life of the body that you now | will let serve our cause of creating heaven on earth. |
T3:10.4 | Taking away the idea of placing blame | will change your thought processes beyond your wildest imagining. You |
T3:10.4 | change your thought processes beyond your wildest imagining. You | will be surprised at how many times you recognize blame where before |
T3:10.5 | easier if a replacement were offered, for ridding your mind of blame | will leave an empty space you will long to fill. This act of |
T3:10.5 | for ridding your mind of blame will leave an empty space you | will long to fill. This act of consciously choosing not to place |
T3:10.5 | long to fill. This act of consciously choosing not to place blame | will short-circuit the many thoughts that you would attach to this |
T3:10.5 | idea of blame. Although I offer it not as a replacement, what you | will find will come in the place of blame is an idea of acceptance of |
T3:10.5 | blame. Although I offer it not as a replacement, what you will find | will come in the place of blame is an idea of acceptance of what is, |
T3:10.6 | may come in forms that make them seem like lessons of old, they | will not be repeats of lessons that have come before. They will not |
T3:10.6 | old, they will not be repeats of lessons that have come before. They | will not be lessons that you find difficult or distressing if you |
T3:10.7 | reacted to every situation. Not one situation coming to you now | will be a repeat of the past. How can it be when the past was lived |
T3:10.7 | the simultaneous learning and unlearning that was spoken of earlier | will be able to be realized. You have passed through your time of |
T3:10.8 | Along with forgetting there is another practice that | will help you to become aware of this change. While much the same as |
T3:10.8 | to become aware of this change. While much the same as forgetting it | will seem to have a different process in practice. This is the |
T3:10.8 | rest, be forgotten. The process of forgetting these thought patterns | will be only slightly different from forgetting your former reactions |
T3:10.9 | distinct from the thoughts of your right mind or Christ-mind. This | will be easy because the thoughts of the ego-mind were always harsh |
T3:10.9 | and the thoughts that come from the voice of the Christ-mind | will be gentle. The thoughts of the ego-mind will come as disguises |
T3:10.9 | of the Christ-mind will be gentle. The thoughts of the ego-mind | will come as disguises to certainty. Given just a little practice, |
T3:10.9 | to certainty. Given just a little practice, these disguises | will be easily seen through and the uncertainty behind them revealed. |
T3:10.9 | the uncertainty behind them revealed. Thoughts of the Christ-mind | will hold a certainty that cannot be disguised. Remember that all |
T3:10.10 | You | will feel for a while as if constant certainty is impossible. This |
T3:10.10 | for a while as if constant certainty is impossible. This feeling | will remain only as long as you remember your past uncertainty. |
T3:10.11 | remind yourself that the time for uncertainty is past. Uncertainty | will not now come to teach you lessons you have already learned but |
T3:10.11 | will not now come to teach you lessons you have already learned but | will only visit you as an echo from the past. It is a habit, a |
T3:10.11 | old thought system. All you must do is not listen to it. Its voice | will not be gentle or full of love. Its voice will hold the |
T3:10.11 | to it. Its voice will not be gentle or full of love. Its voice | will hold the unmistakable edge of fear. |
T3:10.12 | Remember that, while gentle, these are and | will, be practical lessons that simply come to show you a new way of |
T3:10.12 | a new way of living, the way of living in the House of Truth. You | will not need to learn a foreign language to dwell in this new house, |
T3:10.12 | need to learn a foreign language to dwell in this new house, but you | will need to learn what will at first seem to you a foreign thought |
T3:10.12 | language to dwell in this new house, but you will need to learn what | will at first seem to you a foreign thought system. This thought |
T3:10.12 | is the thought system of unity. It is your true thought system and | will be easily remembered once you begin to let it automatically |
T3:10.14 | the ego thought system, the thought system of your true Self | will quite simply return to your memory. You will soon forget the |
T3:10.14 | of your true Self will quite simply return to your memory. You | will soon forget the thought system of the ego-self even though, when |
T3:10.14 | when encountering those who still use that thought system, you | will be able to communicate with them. Yet the ease with which you |
T3:10.14 | with them. Yet the ease with which you communicate with them | will diminish over time. You will find yourself continuously teaching |
T3:10.14 | with which you communicate with them will diminish over time. You | will find yourself continuously teaching the language, if you will, |
T3:10.14 | You will find yourself continuously teaching the language, if you | will, of the new thought system, for you will have no desire to |
T3:10.14 | the language, if you will, of the new thought system, for you | will have no desire to communicate with anything less. |
T3:10.15 | You | will find that your new language will gather people to you in much |
T3:10.15 | You will find that your new language | will gather people to you in much the way people will gravitate |
T3:10.15 | your new language will gather people to you in much the way people | will gravitate toward beautiful music. Many will be eager to learn |
T3:10.15 | in much the way people will gravitate toward beautiful music. Many | will be eager to learn what you have remembered because they will |
T3:10.15 | Many will be eager to learn what you have remembered because they | will realize that the memory of this language exists within them as |
T3:10.15 | that the memory of this language exists within them as well. It | will come naturally to you to welcome these back to the common |
T3:10.15 | to the common language of the mind and heart joined in unity. You | will desire more than anything for everyone you encounter to share |
T3:10.15 | you encounter to share this remembered language. Some, however, | will be resistant. |
T3:10.16 | practical lessons for the life of the body. They are lessons that | will soon be translated in another way. These lessons that will enter |
T3:10.16 | that will soon be translated in another way. These lessons that | will enter your mind and heart will, of necessity, need to be |
T3:10.16 | in another way. These lessons that will enter your mind and heart | will, of necessity, need to be translated into the language of the |
T3:10.16 | the language of the body as well. While your human form remains, you | will be dwelling among those in human form. While the house of |
T3:10.16 | those in human form. While the house of illusion still exists, you | will continue to encounter those who exist within it. While you |
T3:10.16 | continue to encounter those who exist in the house of illusion you | will continue to encounter temptations of the human experience. These |
T3:10.16 | to encounter temptations of the human experience. These are what we | will now address. |
T3:11.10 | Their reality does not exist. Believing in the reality of illusion | will never make it the truth. |
T3:11.15 | You | will, of course, continue to be aware that very few realize that they |
T3:11.15 | that very few realize that they exist in the House of Truth. You | will, in truth, for quite some time, be striving to remain aware even |
T3:11.15 | As the old continues to help you to learn lessons of the new you | will be seeing how the lessons of the illusion can be useful in a new |
T3:11.16 | righteousness. You are not right and others wrong. This temptation | will not long be with you for once the old thought system is |
T3:11.16 | is thoroughly translated to the new, such ideas as right and wrong | will be no more. It is only for this transitional phase, that this |
T3:12.6 | body. Temptations do not originate from love. While some temptations | will seem to be of love they are not. |
T3:12.7 | once slumbering mind that change on a grand scale awaits you, you | will grow fearful if you do not realize that what is being proposed |
T3:12.7 | means is that all that in this human experience has come of love | will be retained. All that will be lost is what has come of fear. |
T3:12.7 | in this human experience has come of love will be retained. All that | will be lost is what has come of fear. |
T3:13.1 | your identity, and our new purpose, that of the miracle that | will allow you to exist as who you are in human form, we may proceed |
T3:13.2 | While you may still feel a connection to God during such times, you | will not be dwelling within the peace of God. Your Self and God will |
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 the |
T3:13.2 | experience of pain or of pleasure. You begin to fear that pleasure | will end or that pain will not end. Once fear has entered, doubt and |
T3:13.2 | of pleasure. You begin to fear that pleasure will end or that pain | will not end. Once fear has entered, doubt and guilt are never far |
T3:13.3 | These temptations | will concern you less and less as we uncover their true meaning by |
T3:13.4 | you the beginnings of a vision of a life in physical form that | will not include the very temptations we are beginning to lay out. |
T3:13.4 | between love and fear as cause is all that is important now as you | will create the new according to what you believe to be the truth and |
T3:13.7 | in concepts such as earning and paying. How you implement this idea | will be your choice. But the idea that you do not have to earn your |
T3:13.7 | way nor pay your way must be birthed and lived by. While most of you | will immediately think of your survival needs, this is far from the |
T3:13.8 | “I am safe and nothing that I do or do not do | will threaten my safety.” |
T3:13.9 | As you say these words you | will realize that you do believe in them. You believe, but you cannot |
T3:13.10 | begin by something as simple as choosing one thing a day that you | will change to reflect the fact that you have accepted this new idea. |
T3:13.10 | the fact that you have accepted this new idea. Choose an act that | will cause you no fear to begin with. For instance, you might tell |
T3:13.10 | that if I sleep as long as I feel I need to sleep in the morning, I | will awake refreshed and ready for my day and no dire consequences |
T3:13.10 | I will awake refreshed and ready for my day and no dire consequences | will befall me from this action.” Another act might be as simple as |
T3:13.10 | ordinarily would not spend, always with the idea in mind that this | will not affect your budget in any negative respect. |
T3:13.11 | If you remember that all of your ideas are to be based on love, you | will not fail to birth ideas of consequence. |
T3:13.12 | The second aspect of this lesson | will then be regarding your ideas about the consequences that seem to |
T3:13.14 | by the personal self. It is only in this way that the personal self | will be able to represent the Self in truth. |
T3:14.1 | thought system of truth. While the foundation of fear, like the ego, | will have left you now, a pattern of behaving fearfully may still |
T3:14.1 | long as these patterns of fear remain as deterrents to action, you | will not experience the freedom of living from the new thought |
T3:14.1 | of living from the new thought system. The new thought system | will still exist within your mind and heart, as nothing can now take |
T3:14.1 | from you, but to experience the new thought system as thought alone | will not bring about the changes you would so desire to have come |
T3:14.1 | You may live a more peaceful and meaningful life, but you | will not become the savior I ask you to be, or the architects of the |
T3:14.2 | thought system of the ego into the thought system of the truth, you | will begin to believe in such things as benevolence and abundance. |
T3:14.2 | things as benevolence and abundance. What this means is that you | will slowly translate all ideas of scarcity into ideas of abundance, |
T3:14.3 | translation of the new thought system for the old is complete, this | will no longer happen. But the translation cannot be completed if you |
T3:14.5 | I am, however, the bringer of Good News. Now I | will repeat to you a piece of good news you may have forgotten: You |
T3:14.5 | You would not be other than who you are. This is a key idea that | will help you immeasurably in leaving behind patterns of behavior |
T3:14.5 | to dwell in the House of Truth and see with the eyes of love, you | will see far less about the life you lead that you would change than |
T3:14.5 | take you, and for some great changes may surely await, but those who | will be visited by great change are but those who desire it. Yet even |
T3:14.5 | are but those who desire it. Yet even those who desire great change | will find these great changes will not cause them to be other than |
T3:14.5 | Yet even those who desire great change will find these great changes | will not cause them to be other than who they are. There is nothing |
T3:14.6 | As you see newly with the eyes of love, you | will be much more likely to see love everywhere within the life you |
T3:14.6 | you may be required to take, worry not! The changes that come to you | will be chosen changes. You will lose nothing you would keep. |
T3:14.6 | worry not! The changes that come to you will be chosen changes. You | will lose nothing you would keep. |
T3:14.7 | caused by perceived disrespect. It is only by your choice that you | will keep these things and only by your choice that these things will |
T3:14.7 | you will keep these things and only by your choice that these things | will leave you. |
T3:14.8 | It is only your old uncertainty that | will make you fear the matters of choice that lie before you. But |
T3:14.8 | old, and with it the patterns of behavior caused by fear, the new | will reveal to you all that you would keep and all that you would |
T3:14.9 | You | will clearly see all of the choices that throughout your life have |
T3:14.9 | in love and made of you a person you would not be other than. You | will also clearly see all of the choices that throughout your life |
T3:14.11 | your “sins.” While this is what you continue to choose, this is what | will continue to be evidenced in your world. This is the only act you |
T3:14.13 | Like a story yet to be written, that which follows the first page | will be based upon the first page. |
T3:15.2 | has concerned the occasions of birth and death. This is something we | will return to, but first let us look at other types of new |
T3:15.5 | a new beginning is possible, even while awaiting the lapse that | will surely prove to you that the new beginning is but an act and |
T3:15.5 | eager and confident in being able to succeed in the current year, | will continue to be plagued by memories of failure. The alcoholic can |
T3:15.5 | fresh memories of past abuse or humiliation in the hopes that they | will discourage a repeat of the old behavior. The loved one of an |
T3:15.8 | relationships too have breathed their last. As I said before, these | will seem to be remedial lessons. What they are, in truth, are aides |
T3:15.8 | they are, in truth, are aides to help you birth the new ideas that | will break the patterns of old. |
T3:15.9 | beginning that, like all others that you have offered or attempted, | will take place in relationship. The difference is that this new |
T3:15.9 | place in relationship. The difference is that this new beginning | will take place in holy, rather than special, relationship. |
T3:15.13 | That learning put an end to the old. Living what you have learned | will usher in the new. |
T3:15.14 | approach this new beginning as you have those of the past. What | will assist you most, as the translation of the old thought system |
T3:15.17 | same being that you have represented yourself to be in the past, you | will not be living by the truth but by illusion. |
T3:15.18 | of illusion with the truth is what the new thought system | will accomplish. Obviously, this replacement must be total. The means |
T3:16.2 | a plan and you do not need to know precisely what this new world | will look like. You simply need to be willing to live by the truth. |
T3:16.5 | acting as a trigger that would release all such impatience for what | will be. Impatience for what will be can only be satisfied by what is. |
T3:16.5 | release all such impatience for what will be. Impatience for what | will be can only be satisfied by what is. |
T3:16.6 | make it seem as if what is now is still awaiting replacement by what | will be, is a change that must occur within. As has already been |
T3:16.8 | who you are in truth is a temptation of the human experience. It | will come in many forms, all of which will be related to an old |
T3:16.8 | of the human experience. It will come in many forms, all of which | will be related to an old pattern of dissatisfaction with yourself. |
T3:16.8 | an old pattern of dissatisfaction with yourself. These temptations | will be related to the intrigue of the challenge and actually be |
T3:16.8 | Keeping this idea in the forefront of your mind and heart | will aid the translation of this aspect of the ego thought system to |
T3:16.10 | The belief in lack is a temptation of the human experience. This | will relate to all situations in which you feel you have something to |
T3:16.10 | you feel you have something to gain from some “other.” Again, this | will be related to old patterns of dissatisfaction with the self. It |
T3:16.14 | are temptations of the human experience. These temptations | will relate to any issues that you consider to be issues of |
T3:16.15 | If you but live by the idea that representing who you are in truth | will create a new heaven on earth, you can lay aside any fears that |
T3:16.15 | a new heaven on earth, you can lay aside any fears that others | will suffer due to the changes your new Self will create. As you live |
T3:16.15 | any fears that others will suffer due to the changes your new Self | will create. As you live with awareness of the love of God within |
T3:16.15 | As you live with awareness of the love of God within you, you | will see that you have no need for special love relationships. You |
T3:16.15 | will see that you have no need for special love relationships. You | will realize that the love and the Self you now have available to |
T3:16.15 | to share in relationship are all that you would share in truth. You | will recognize that no others have a need for you to make them |
T3:16.15 | that no others have a need for you to make them special for you | will see the truth of who they are rather than the illusion of who |
T3:16.16 | upon each other. Let one part go and soon all the remaining parts | will crumble into the dust from which they came. The cement that was |
T3:17.8 | in the House of Truth rather than the house of illusion, is what | will end the time of illusion. Just as the truth is the truth and |
T3:18.1 | rightly then, how those who have not learned by the Holy Spirit | will learn. They will now learn through observation. |
T3:18.1 | how those who have not learned by the Holy Spirit will learn. They | will now learn through observation. |
T3:18.2 | that have been unwilling to accept or learn an unobservable truth, | will now accept and learn from observable truth. This is why you must |
T3:18.3 | it is a natural choice to serve our new purpose of the miracle that | will allow you to exist as who you are in human form. See what |
T3:18.3 | form. It is thus from observable form that the final learning | will take place. This is the perfect example of using what you have |
T3:18.4 | Expressing who you are in physical form | will return remembrance to the minds of those who observe your |
T3:18.4 | expression. Further, your observance of your brothers and sisters | will return remembrance to their minds and hearts. It is, in fact, |
T3:18.6 | rather than sadness—disease, poverty, conflict and sadness | will be no more real to your brothers and sisters than it is to you. |
T3:18.8 | It | will seem at first as if you are asked to deny the facts that you see |
T3:18.9 | In this way, you | will join the mechanisms of your physical form to the new thought |
T3:18.9 | the truth. Your body, as has been often said, is a neutral form that | will serve you in the manner in which you choose to have it serve |
T3:18.9 | by the thought system of illusion, it is natural to realize that it | will now be instructed by the thought system of the truth. Thus your |
T3:18.9 | now be instructed by the thought system of the truth. Thus your eyes | will learn to observe only the truth, even unto seeing what before |
T3:19.1 | You must not fear the changes that | will occur within your physical form as it begins to be guided by the |
T3:19.1 | system of the truth rather than the thought system of illusion. You | will fear these changes less if you realize that all that has come of |
T3:19.1 | these changes less if you realize that all that has come of love | will be kept and that all that has come of fear will fall away. You |
T3:19.1 | has come of love will be kept and that all that has come of fear | will fall away. You have no need to fear that the end of the special |
T3:19.1 | You have no need to fear that the end of the special relationship | will separate you from your loved ones. You have no need to fear that |
T3:19.1 | You have no need to fear that the joys you have shared with others | will be no more. You have no more need to fear the loss of physical |
T3:19.6 | of the body have gone unquestioned and been held tantamount. The | will of the body to survive has thus been blamed for all actions that |
T3:19.6 | that have arisen from real and perceived lack. Yet the body has no | will and the survival of the true Self is not based upon it. |
T3:19.7 | Because the spiritual life has so often been linked with celibacy I | will mention sexual union specifically here to put behind you any |
T3:19.10 | body merely responded. The body’s response to the new thought system | will be different in many ways, none of which will lead you to feel |
T3:19.10 | the new thought system will be different in many ways, none of which | will lead you to feel that you have lost anything of value to you. |
T3:19.11 | others still remain tied to the old thought system, human behavior | will still reflect harmful actions that will seem to arise from |
T3:19.11 | system, human behavior will still reflect harmful actions that | will seem to arise from bodily temptations. Although you will now |
T3:19.11 | that will seem to arise from bodily temptations. Although you | will now represent who you are in physical form in a new way, you can |
T3:19.11 | of the meaningless acts of those living in illusion because they | will be unable to cause effect in the House of Truth. |
T3:19.12 | what it is. Just as we are telling you that new beliefs and ideas | will lead to a new reality, old beliefs and ideas led to the old |
T3:19.12 | old beliefs and ideas led to the old reality, a reality that | will still exist for some even after it changes completely for you. |
T3:19.13 | This | will seem even more inconsistent with a benevolent universe than it |
T3:19.13 | seen until it was represented in an observable manner, something you | will now do. |
T3:19.14 | and even rage-producing for those still living in illusion. But it | will be much more tempting to be divisive, uncomfortable and |
T3:19.14 | in the new. Many who observe the new from the house of illusion | will still be able to deny what they see. Just think of how many |
T3:19.14 | that it can no longer be denied that changes of a large scale | will begin to be seen. |
T3:19.15 | You | will be tempted to return to the house of illusion to gather those |
T3:19.15 | of Christ, a new time, a time without parallel or comparison, this | will not be possible. It has been said from the beginning that your |
T3:19.15 | not be possible. It has been said from the beginning that your role | will not be to evangelize or to be convincing. You cannot argue the |
T3:19.16 | While this would seem to leave some without hope, it | will leave no one without choice. It will make the one clear and only |
T3:19.16 | to leave some without hope, it will leave no one without choice. It | will make the one clear and only choice evident. It is a choice to |
T3:19.16 | be found to come to the truth. But a way of getting to the truth | will become so attractive that few will be able to resist. What will |
T3:19.16 | But a way of getting to the truth will become so attractive that few | will be able to resist. What will make this choice so attractive will |
T3:19.16 | will become so attractive that few will be able to resist. What | will make this choice so attractive will not be martyrs and saintly |
T3:19.16 | few will be able to resist. What will make this choice so attractive | will not be martyrs and saintly souls stricken with every calamity |
T3:19.16 | to tell those who would listen about the glory of God. What | will make this choice so attractive are ordinary people living |
T3:20.1 | no longer any time to be wasted on illusion we are saying that you | will no longer serve time but that time will serve you. Time was |
T3:20.1 | we are saying that you will no longer serve time but that time | will serve you. Time was wasted on illusion and so but seemed to |
T3:20.1 | no effects that exist in truth. Now, your every thought and action | will have effect, and the choices that lie before you will be choices |
T3:20.1 | and action will have effect, and the choices that lie before you | will be choices of where your thoughts and actions will have the |
T3:20.1 | lie before you will be choices of where your thoughts and actions | will have the greatest effect. |
T3:20.3 | learning the truth, you are learning how to live by the truth. This | will benefit you and in so doing benefit all others. |
T3:20.8 | You | will see it as quite difficult at first to respond to such situations |
T3:20.13 | Will those you love still suffer? Many may. But not with your help. | |
T3:20.13 | Will those you love still suffer? Many may. But not with your help. | Will many more, with your help, see an end to suffering? Many will. |
T3:20.13 | help. Will many more, with your help, see an end to suffering? Many | will. Will an end to suffering be what you work toward? No. This is |
T3:20.13 | Will many more, with your help, see an end to suffering? Many will. | Will an end to suffering be what you work toward? No. This is not |
T3:20.15 | when I call you to offer the eternal to the eternal. The new way | will work wherever it finds willingness. You cannot call others to |
T3:20.16 | go out from love to love. It is not the words of your mouth that | will be heard or the language of your mind that will be responded to. |
T3:20.16 | of your mouth that will be heard or the language of your mind that | will be responded to. It is the love within your heart that will |
T3:20.16 | that will be responded to. It is the love within your heart that | will sound the call. And when it is heard, and your brother or sister |
T3:20.17 | these aren’t the ones given you to bring to love and trust that none | will remain forever lost to his or her own Self. |
T3:20.18 | You are as pioneers to this new world. Its mere existence | will attract others and each will find the price of admission is |
T3:20.18 | to this new world. Its mere existence will attract others and each | will find the price of admission is their willingness to leave the |
T3:20.19 | is not different but the same as every other circumstance you | will encounter. You will encounter truth or illusion and nothing else |
T3:20.19 | but the same as every other circumstance you will encounter. You | will encounter truth or illusion and nothing else for there is |
T3:21.6 | is a being born into time, a being whose existence began in time and | will end in time. |
T3:21.9 | This | will sound intolerant to you. It is a stance intolerant of illusion. |
T3:21.14 | aspects to your personal self: a historical aspect, an aspect we | will call self-image, and an aspect that has to do with beliefs. |
T3:21.17 | that you exist in unity, all the things we have enumerated above | will act to challenge these beliefs unless you are able to see them |
T3:21.17 | and a sex that divides you from those “opposite” you, unity | will seem like a belief only. |
T3:21.18 | your form and cease to be accepted as aspects of your identity. This | will cause your existence to seem to have more of a dualistic nature |
T3:21.18 | time the learning of this Treatise is complete, the personal self | will continue to exist only as the self you present to others. It |
T3:21.18 | will continue to exist only as the self you present to others. It | will be a representation only. It will represent only the truth. It |
T3:21.18 | the self you present to others. It will be a representation only. It | will represent only the truth. It will no longer be seen as your |
T3:21.18 | will be a representation only. It will represent only the truth. It | will no longer be seen as your identity, but as representing your |
T3:21.19 | your identity for our new purpose, the purpose of the miracle that | will allow you to exist as who you are in human form. How, you might |
T3:21.20 | The answer too | will seem contradictory, for the answer lies in realizing that your |
T3:21.20 | your former identity does not matter, even while realizing that it | will serve your new purpose. Further, there are even two aspects to |
T3:21.20 | is that your certainty regarding the identity of your personal self | will be useful as that certainty is translated to the thought system |
T3:21.20 | The second is that the very differences that you seem to have | will be seen as sameness by some and will attract them to you and to |
T3:21.20 | that you seem to have will be seen as sameness by some and | will attract them to you and to the truth you now will represent. |
T3:21.20 | by some and will attract them to you and to the truth you now | will represent. |
T3:21.22 | In other words, it | will matter not that there will be no priest or guru for those who |
T3:21.22 | In other words, it will matter not that there | will be no priest or guru for those who seek the truth to turn to. It |
T3:21.22 | be no priest or guru for those who seek the truth to turn to. It | will matter not that a black man will not turn to a white man or a |
T3:21.22 | who seek the truth to turn to. It will matter not that a black man | will not turn to a white man or a Muslim to a Christian. It will not |
T3:21.22 | man will not turn to a white man or a Muslim to a Christian. It | will not matter if a young person looks to one his or her own age or |
T3:21.22 | to one his or her own age or turns to someone older. And yet it | will matter that someone will look at you and see that you are not so |
T3:21.22 | age or turns to someone older. And yet it will matter that someone | will look at you and see that you are not so different than he or |
T3:21.22 | look at you and see that you are not so different than he or she. It | will matter that someone will look at you and be drawn to the truth |
T3:21.22 | you are not so different than he or she. It will matter that someone | will look at you and be drawn to the truth of him- or herself that is |
T3:21.22 | confident in your personal self, knowing that your personal self | will serve those you are meant to serve. What you have seen as your |
T3:21.22 | valuable as are your successes and strengths. What has separated you | will also unite you. |
T3:21.23 | It is not being said that anyone should, or | will, remain blind to the unity that exists beyond all barriers of |
T3:21.23 | and religion. It is simply being said that they do not matter. It | will not matter if a person turns to someone “like” him- or herself |
T3:21.24 | or who are better examples of a good and saintly life are those who | will lead the way for others to follow. Do not give in to the idea |
T3:21.24 | to represent the truth and to observance of the truth. That you each | will do this in ways unique to who you are must be further addressed |
T3:22.1 | enough. You would like to know in what direction living by the truth | will take you, for surely your life must change. The very precepts |
T3:22.1 | that the internal affects the external, seem as evidence that you | will no longer be allowed the “separate” life, or private life that |
T3:22.2 | work. Those who feel this call are surely needed. And each of you | will find the sharing of this Course to be among the easiest of ways |
T3:22.2 | to be among the easiest of ways to share what you have learned. You | will almost certainly feel eagerness to share it and joy whenever and |
T3:22.2 | and joy whenever and wherever you are able to do so. But some of you | will find that you do no more than mention this Course as the one, or |
T3:22.3 | always dreamt of doing. Wherever you go, whatever you do, the truth | will go with you. You need no uniform nor title nor specific role for |
T3:22.4 | accepting who you are and becoming who you want to be. This tension | will continue if you are unable to integrate two precepts of this |
T3:22.7 | to know the proper response. It is in responding properly that you | will know what to do. |
T3:22.8 | Plans | will only interfere with your response to what you are given to |
T3:22.8 | able to do with your eyes closed is the observation of what is. This | will relate to the future pattern of creating that we will speak of |
T3:22.8 | what is. This will relate to the future pattern of creating that we | will speak of more in the next Treatise. |
T3:22.9 | get on to the next level, the level of something new, the level that | will engage you in something “to do,” the level that will give an |
T3:22.9 | the level that will engage you in something “to do,” the level that | will give an outlet for the excitement that has been building within |
T3:22.10 | This has been necessary so that the realization | will come to you that you are ready to leave the personal self and |
T3:22.11 | The ability to cease all acts of comparison | will arise out of this observation of your new Self, for you cannot |
T3:22.11 | The truth that has always existed is our oneness, and what you | will observe about your new Self you will observe about all. We will |
T3:22.11 | is our oneness, and what you will observe about your new Self you | will observe about all. We will be one body, one Self. No comparison |
T3:22.11 | you will observe about your new Self you will observe about all. We | will be one body, one Self. No comparison will be possible. You will |
T3:22.11 | will observe about all. We will be one body, one Self. No comparison | will be possible. You will realize that differences but lie in |
T3:22.11 | We will be one body, one Self. No comparison will be possible. You | will realize that differences but lie in expression and |
T3:22.12 | the tension that exists between accepting what is and desiring what | will be. Linking the words creative and tension is caused by the |
T3:22.12 | lived, a world wherein a lag time exists between what is and what | will be. You may have, upon reading those words, thought that this |
T3:22.12 | to give up. You do not know how to reach beyond what was for what | will be without this tension. You do not yet believe in what is. |
T3:22.13 | dualistic world of illusion where here and now is separate from what | will be. In the new world, the world where truth reigns, there is no |
T3:22.13 | there is no world of illusion where what is, is separate from what | will be. |
T3:22.14 | and seals out the world where what is, is separated from what | will be by your effort and the time that it will take you to, through |
T3:22.14 | is separated from what will be by your effort and the time that it | will take you to, through your effort, create the desired outcome. |
T3:22.14 | you would 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 |
T3:22.14 | of this Course, is the Will of God. What you desire now is the | Will of God because it is your true desire, your will and God’s |
T3:22.14 | desire now is the Will of God because it is your true desire, your | will and God’s joined as one. |
T3:22.16 | creation, creating the personal self anew, seeing within it all that | will serve the new, and only what will serve the new. |
T3:22.16 | anew, seeing within it all that will serve the new, and only what | will serve the new. |
T4:1.1 | Let me tell you what this Treatise | will not be about. It will not be predictive. It will leave no one |
T4:1.1 | Let me tell you what this Treatise will not be about. It | will not be predictive. It will leave no one out. It will not appeal |
T4:1.1 | what this Treatise will not be about. It will not be predictive. It | will leave no one out. It will not appeal to fear nor give you cause |
T4:1.1 | be about. It will not be predictive. It will leave no one out. It | will not appeal to fear nor give you cause for fear. It will not be |
T4:1.1 | one out. It will not appeal to fear nor give you cause for fear. It | will not be about tools or tell you that some have the tools for |
T4:1.1 | some have the tools for accomplishment and that others do not. It | will continue the view from within the embrace, an embrace and a view |
T4:1.2 | It | will, however, be conclusive. It will separate truth from illusion in |
T4:1.2 | It will, however, be conclusive. It | will separate truth from illusion in ways that will make some |
T4:1.2 | be conclusive. It will separate truth from illusion in ways that | will make some uncomfortable. It will continue to challenge your |
T4:1.2 | truth from illusion in ways that will make some uncomfortable. It | will continue to challenge your former ideas and beliefs as have the |
T4:1.2 | your former ideas and beliefs as have the previous Treatises. But it | will do this only to reach a conclusion of certainty from which you |
T4:1.3 | In doing so, it may seem to you as if some | will be left out and as if you are being told that you can achieve |
T4:1.3 | have tried and failed to achieve. These are the types of ideas that | will cause discomfort to many of you as you still find it hard to |
T4:1.3 | in your own chosenness. It is this idea of being chosen that | will cause your mind to conclude that some are not chosen now and |
T4:1.4 | are but related to this idea of choosing, a process of the free | will with which you all are endowed. |
T4:1.7 | of learning, and if they do not learn what is taught in school, they | will, by default, learn what is not taught in school. If you can |
T4:1.10 | This curriculum is mandatory and so some have rebelled and | will rebel against it. Those who do not choose to learn from the |
T4:1.10 | against it. Those who do not choose to learn from the curriculum, | will, like school children, learn through what is not of the |
T4:1.10 | is what is being spoken of here. But all means are for one end. All | will learn the same content, for all are chosen; and all learning, no |
T4:1.10 | for all are chosen; and all learning, no matter what the means, | will eventually lead them to the truth of who they are. |
T4:1.11 | now and later. What you must understand is that all choices | will lead to knowledge of Self and God, as no choices are offered |
T4:1.11 | time, it must be seen that your choice matters in time, even if all | will make the same choice eventually. |
T4:1.15 | This confusion is what this Treatise | will seek to dispel so that you are left with no confusion and only |
T4:1.15 | are left with no confusion and only certainty. The only thing that | will dispel this confusion and bring you the certainty that is needed |
T4:1.16 | truth exists within you. It is in this way that time is not real and | will no longer be real to you as you come to live by the truth. It is |
T4:1.25 | the truth, thinking still that the experience of the truth | will exclude much that they would want to try before they give into |
T4:1.26 | Those born into the time of Christ | will settle for nothing less than the truth and will soon begin |
T4:1.26 | the time of Christ will settle for nothing less than the truth and | will soon begin looking earnestly for it. Even the ego-self will be |
T4:1.26 | and will soon begin looking earnestly for it. Even the ego-self | will be perceived clearly by these, and they will not want it for |
T4:1.26 | it. Even the ego-self will be perceived clearly by these, and they | will not want it for their identity but only will accept it until |
T4:1.26 | by these, and they will not want it for their identity but only | will accept it until another identity is offered. |
T4:1.27 | and contrast. But this also means that the great majority | will become aware of the new state of consciousness and that learning |
T4:1.27 | become aware of the new state of consciousness and that learning | will pass through them directly through observation and direct |
T4:1.27 | means that the last generation born into the time of the Holy Spirit | will live out their lives and that soon all who remain on earth will |
T4:1.27 | will live out their lives and that soon all who remain on earth | will be those born into the time of Christ. |
T4:2.1 | It is happening. It is not predictive. I have never been and | will never be predictive, for I am Christ-consciousness. |
T4:2.1 | what is, an awareness that does not conceive of such as what was and | will be can peacefully coexist with the unity that is here and now in |
T4:2.6 | The production that has so long occupied you | will now serve you as you turn your productive and reproductive |
T4:2.7 | not exist; that there are others living among you in this time who | will not become aware of their true nature does not mean that it does |
T4:2.7 | them. You are no more accomplished than anyone has been or is or | will be. The truth of who you are is as accomplished as the truth of |
T4:2.7 | is not speaking the truth. This is why we began with the chosen and | will return again and again to the statement that all are chosen. |
T4:2.8 | judgment. While you continue to believe that a final judgment | will separate the good from the evil, you are carrying judgment. |
T4:2.10 | unity. If you proceed into this new time thinking that this new time | will separate you from others, or cause you, as the chosen, to be |
T4:2.10 | you from others, or cause you, as the chosen, to be separate, you | will not become fully aware of the new time. Full awareness of the |
T4:2.11 | fly a plane or land on the moon, being first implies only that there | will be a second and a third. That attention and respect is given to |
T4:2.12 | “place” they briefly hold is of a finite nature, that others | will soon do the same, and that those who follow in time will do so |
T4:2.12 | that others will soon do the same, and that those who follow in time | will do so more easily, with less effort, and with even greater |
T4:2.12 | themselves “better than” for a moment in time, but those who do | will be bitterly disappointed as their moment passes. Despite the |
T4:2.13 | of the old. Many of these patterns do not concern me for they | will fall away of themselves as your awareness of the new grows. But |
T4:2.13 | as your awareness of the new grows. But these few that I linger on | will prevent your awareness of the new from growing, and so must be |
T4:2.17 | It is about observing what is. The power to observe what is is what | will keep you unified with your brothers and sisters rather than |
T4:2.19 | rather than in terms of what already is. This type of thinking | will not serve the new or allow you full awareness of the new. |
T4:2.21 | Now I tell you something else and hope you | will remember it and bid it true. Each day is a creation and holy |
T4:2.25 | It exists and you are becoming aware of its existence. You | will increasingly be unable to deny it and you will not want to. As |
T4:2.25 | of its existence. You will increasingly be unable to deny it and you | will not want to. As you allow awareness of this relationship to grow |
T4:2.25 | to. As you allow awareness of this relationship to grow in you, you | will learn the lessons that are being spoken of within this Treatise. |
T4:2.27 | of union, returned to you through the joining of mind and heart, | will now reveal to you the truth of what was created and allow you to |
T4:2.29 | self for so long that you cannot imagine what shared vision | will mean, and do not yet recognize it when you experience it. This |
T4:2.29 | of observance of what is as a game of make believe and feel that you | will have to trick yourself into believing that you see love where |
T4:2.31 | other senses in your idea of sight? Have you thought your instincts | will be sharpened and that you will know with an inner knowing that |
T4:2.31 | Have you thought your instincts will be sharpened and that you | will know with an inner knowing that will aid the sight of your eyes? |
T4:2.31 | will be sharpened and that you will know with an inner knowing that | will aid the sight of your eyes? |
T4:2.32 | is one of union and relationship, and purpose—purpose that | will be revealed to you because you exist in union with the Source |
T4:3.3 | —by its original nature or intent. The devotion of the observant | will return you to your original purpose. The vision of |
T4:3.3 | you to your original purpose. The vision of Christ-consciousness | will take you beyond it. |
T4:3.7 | no more weighing of love against fear. God did not create fear and | will not be judged by it. All judgment is the cause of fear and this |
T4:3.8 | state of love is returned to you, judgment falls away because vision | will arise. With the onset of the vision of love, many of you will |
T4:3.8 | vision will arise. With the onset of the vision of love, many of you | will make one final judgment in which you find everything to be good |
T4:3.9 | The vision that | will arise in you now is not new. It is your natural vision, the |
T4:3.9 | of love. What is new is the elevation of the personal self that | will be caused by the return of your natural state of love. This is |
T4:3.10 | Vision | will allow you to see the nature of the world and all that exists |
T4:3.10 | nature of the world and all that exists within it truly. Observation | will allow you to elevate the personal self to its rightful place |
T4:3.12 | of the created becomes observable in physical form, physical form | will surpass what it once was and become the new nature of the |
T4:4.13 | If the unknown were not unknown faith would not be necessary. Faith | will become unnecessary, as life everlasting becomes known to you. |
T4:4.14 | This knowing | will come from the return of true vision. True vision sees |
T4:4.14 | has returned to you, the means of life-everlasting | will be understood as a choice. Because there was no relationship |
T4:4.14 | in form, the decision to continue in form or to not continue in form | will be yours. |
T4:4.15 | and thus eternal. If you can abide in unity while in human form, you | will have no cause, save your own choice, to leave human form. To |
T4:4.15 | is to abide in an unnatural state from which you eventually | will seek release. |
T4:4.17 | you not see the necessity of removing the idea that your true Self | will be returned to you only through death? What purpose would this |
T4:4.18 | What purpose | will death serve when your true Self has joined with your physical |
T4:4.18 | serve when your true Self has joined with your physical form? You | will see it simply as the transformation it has always been, the |
T4:4.18 | As form becomes a representation of Christ-consciousness, it | will take on the nature of Christ-consciousness, of which my life was |
T4:4.18 | of the human and the divine as a new state of being. This union | will take you beyond the goal of expressing your Self in form because |
T4:4.18 | of the human and the divine as a new state of being, this choice | will be eternally yours. It will be a choice of your creation, a |
T4:4.18 | as a new state of being, this choice will be eternally yours. It | will be a choice of your creation, a creation devoid of fear. It will |
T4:4.18 | It will be a choice of your creation, a creation devoid of fear. It | will be a new choice. |
T4:5.8 | the whole. You might say that your finger does not, then, have free | will. It cannot express itself independently of the whole. |
T4:5.9 | you think that this is possible and that this is the meaning of free | will. Free will does not make the impossible possible. It makes the |
T4:5.9 | this is possible and that this is the meaning of free will. Free | will does not make the impossible possible. It makes the possible |
T4:5.9 | It makes the possible probable. It is thus probable that you | will use your free will in order to be who you are. But it is not |
T4:5.9 | possible probable. It is thus probable that you will use your free | will in order to be who you are. But it is not guaranteed! It is your |
T4:5.9 | choice alone that is the only guarantee. This is the meaning of free | will. |
T4:5.10 | To align your | will with the Will of God is to make the choice for |
T4:5.10 | To align your will with the | Will of God is to make the choice for Christ-consciousness, to make |
T4:5.11 | given the chance now, to choose your true nature with your free | will. |
T4:5.12 | you chose direct revelation by God. Think about this now and you | will see that it is true. You hoped to live a good life and at the |
T4:5.12 | in that revelation, transformed you. The direct revelations that | will come to you now will transform you as surely as did those that |
T4:5.12 | transformed you. The direct revelations that will come to you now | will transform you as surely as did those that came to so many others |
T4:5.13 | the glory that is yours, that determines the way in which your life | will continue. The same is true right now! For this is the time of |
T4:6.3 | Those who believe that only some | will be chosen can create a scenario in which it appears that some |
T4:6.3 | from one another and the one life-giving energy that unites us all | will but continue life as it has been but in different form. The |
T4:6.3 | form. The realization of unity is the binding realization that | will return all, as one body, to the natural state of |
T4:6.4 | direct sharing, the probable future you imagine, envision, desire, | will be what you create. This is the power of the devotion of the |
T4:6.6 | you to a new choice with the full realization that your choice alone | will affect millions of your brothers and sisters, as long as—and |
T4:7.1 | Christ-consciousness | will be temporary or sustainable depending on your ability to refrain |
T4:7.1 | envision, imagine, desire with love must be without judgment or it | will be false envisioning, false imagining, false desire. This simply |
T4:7.1 | is itself no cause for judgment. It is simply an alternative that | will draw you out of Christ-consciousness and not allow it to be |
T4:7.2 | That you are living in the time of Christ does not mean that you | will automatically realize Christ-consciousness, just as living in |
T4:7.3 | vision of Christ-consciousness must realize the many choices that | will seem to lie before you and your brothers and sisters in this |
T4:7.3 | of the unity that creates and sustains all living things | will now be as close to the surface of consciousness as was, during |
T4:7.3 | themselves spiritual and those who consider themselves pragmatists, | will hold this understanding within their grasp. Many will be |
T4:7.3 | pragmatists, will hold this understanding within their grasp. Many | will be surprised by experiences of unity and know not what to make |
T4:7.3 | know not what to make of them. Those who attempt to figure them out | will come ever closer to the truth by means of science, technology, |
T4:7.3 | and literature. Those who allow themselves to experience revelation | will enter Christ-consciousness. |
T4:7.4 | Those who sustain Christ-consciousness | will abide within it free of judgment. They will not seek to create |
T4:7.4 | Christ-consciousness will abide within it free of judgment. They | will not seek to create their version of a perfect world and to force |
T4:7.4 | their version of a perfect world and to force it upon others, but | will abide within the perfect world that is in the vision of |
T4:7.4 | that is in the vision of Christ-consciousness. This perfect world | will be observable to them and in them. It will be revealed to them |
T4:7.4 | This perfect world will be observable to them and in them. It | will be revealed to them and through them. It will be revealed to |
T4:7.4 | them and in them. It will be revealed to them and through them. It | will be revealed to them through what they can envision, imagine and |
T4:7.4 | what they can envision, imagine and desire without judgment. It | will not take the effort of their bodies, but the freedom of a |
T4:7.5 | to you through a heart and mind joined in unity, your body too | will exist or abide within this natural state. It cannot help to, as |
T4:7.6 | in union have brought harmony to your body. Sustaining this harmony | will keep your body in perfect health, even while the manner of this |
T4:7.6 | health, even while the manner of this perfection of your health | will remain one of many options. |
T4:7.7 | You | will realize that what is is optimal to your learning. But you will |
T4:7.7 | You will realize that what is is optimal to your learning. But you | will also realize that an end to your learning is in sight. |
T4:7.7 | health and learning the lesson that it has come to impart to you, | will return you to good health. Your poor health is no cause for |
T4:7.8 | But let me again emphasize that the conditions of learning | will be no longer needed once learning has occurred. The student no |
T4:7.8 | own choice. Again let me remind you that no choice is wrong. Some | will choose to continue to learn through the full variety of the |
T4:7.8 | choice due to the learning that has already occurred, the choice | will be one guided by love and thus be a joyous choice and ensure a |
T4:7.8 | and thus be a joyous choice and ensure a joyous life. These choices | will change the world. |
T4:7.9 | But the choice many of you | will make—the choice to move from learning to creating—will |
T4:7.9 | of you will make—the choice to move from learning to creating— | will create a new world. |
T4:8.8 | your heart and still live. What could be disconnected was your | will—or in other words, your mind. Just as it is your nature to |
T4:8.10 | Rarely. What you do is realize the impossibility of imposing your | will and, because of this impossibility, you realize that you must |
T4:8.16 | learning complete, is an error. If you rethink this definition you | will see that even in regards to the learning of one subject it is |
T4:8.17 | and that end is fast approaching. Coming to know through learning | will be of the past as soon as Christ-consciousness is sustainable |
T4:9.9 | of the new. Be not afraid, for the glory that has been yours | will be as nothing to the glory that awaits you in the creation of |
T4:9.9 | nothing to the glory that awaits you in the creation of the new. You | will always be honored for what you have done. But do you want this |
T4:9.9 | phase of the journey, the journey out of the time of learning that | will usher in the fullness of time. |
T4:10.1 | to be willing to give up the role of learner and to believe that you | will become comfortable and more in your new role as the accomplished. |
T4:10.2 | because as you consider your willingness to give up learning you | will meet resistance and realize, for perhaps the first time, that |
T4:10.2 | is what your entire life has been about. You cannot imagine how you | will come to know anything new, or be anything beyond that which you |
T4:10.2 | stray to ideas about experiencing, rather than studying, and yet you | will quickly see that you merely think of experience as learning |
T4:10.10 | the production of unity and relationship and true meaning | will be revealed. |
T4:10.13 | As I said earlier, some | will not be willing to move out of the time of learning. Those who |
T4:10.13 | this Course would teach but do not move beyond the state of learning | will change the world. They will make the world a better place and |
T4:10.13 | do not move beyond the state of learning will change the world. They | will make the world a better place and see many of their students |
T4:10.14 | Those of you willing to leave learning behind | will create the new. This will not happen through learning but |
T4:10.14 | of you willing to leave learning behind will create the new. This | will not happen through learning but through sharing. You can learn |
T4:11.4 | Thus I | will conclude this Treatise with a prelude to the sharing that is our |
T4:11.4 | is beyond learning. I conclude this Treatise by sharing that which | will assist you in sustaining Christ-consciousness. |
T4:12.2 | From this time on, I | will respond to you through direct communication or dialogue rather |
T4:12.4 | This prelude | will address them individually and collectively, and as you join with |
T4:12.4 | and collectively, and as you join with them in unity, you | will realize that it also addresses you individually and as part of |
T4:12.4 | and as part of the collectivity of the whole. This dialogue | will, however, be ongoing, and this is your invitation to participate |
T4:12.4 | heart, no matter what questions are emanating from your mind, they | will be met with a response. |
T4:12.5 | you. The first is the end of learning, the ramifications of which | will only slowly occur to your mind and be surprising revelations |
T4:12.5 | is the beginning of sharing in unity, a change that your heart | will gladly accept but that your mind, once again, will be |
T4:12.5 | that your heart will gladly accept but that your mind, once again, | will be continuously surprised to encounter. |
T4:12.7 | are sustainable without need of the written word, the written word | will be less necessary. In the meantime, let me explain why these |
T4:12.9 | Thus, if you have been religious, abandon not your churches, for you | will find within them now, direct experiences of sharing. If you have |
T4:12.9 | the written word, abandon not the written word, for the written word | will now elicit direct experiences of sharing. If you have enjoyed |
T4:12.10 | past. While you are still encountering concerns and questions, you | will be prone to continue to think of yourself as a learning being. |
T4:12.10 | dialogues continue to address these same questions and concerns, you | will be prone to think of them as teaching dialogues and to consider |
T4:12.10 | yourself thus is simply a condition of the old for which you | will need to be vigilant. You will be again surprised, however, to |
T4:12.10 | a condition of the old for which you will need to be vigilant. You | will be again surprised, however, to find what an enormous difference |
T4:12.10 | to find what an enormous difference the release of this idea | will make in your capacity to express who you are. As long as you |
T4:12.10 | express who you are. As long as you continue to invite learning, you | will continue to invite the conditions of learning. These are the |
T4:12.10 | of the separated self, which is why it is no longer needed. You | will not fully realize unity while you continue to hang on to this |
T4:12.11 | Another thing that you | will want to be vigilant of, dear brothers and sisters, is the |
T4:12.12 | for you not to exist in continual contentment. Continual contentment | will not stunt your growth or prevent you from sharing or from |
T4:12.15 | the joy of sharing and the new challenges of creating the new! This | will be joyous journeying and your challenges will be joyous |
T4:12.15 | creating the new! This will be joyous journeying and your challenges | will be joyous challenges! |
T4:12.17 | that you do not continue to advance learned wisdom. Learned wisdom | will tell you to work hard. Learned wisdom will tell you that the |
T4:12.17 | wisdom. Learned wisdom will tell you to work hard. Learned wisdom | will tell you that the strong survive, the mighty prevail, the weak |
T4:12.19 | you still have questions, dear brothers and sisters. I know that you | will experience times of not knowing how to proceed. I know that you |
T4:12.19 | will experience times of not knowing how to proceed. I know that you | will occasionally have setbacks and choose the conditions of learning |
T4:12.20 | the state of Christ-consciousness, the pattern of the old thoughts | will continue until they are replaced by a new pattern. That |
T4:12.20 | by a new pattern. That self-doubt arises in your thought patterns | will not mean that you have cause for self-doubt. You have no cause |
T4:12.20 | for self-doubt because you have no cause for fear. To dwell in fear | will end your ability to dwell within the love that is |
T4:12.21 | 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 that is |
T4:12.26 | What you cannot learn you can remember. What you cannot learn | will simply be known through sharing. |
T4:12.27 | It is the way in which you | will come to remember and share in unity that concerns you now and |
T4:12.27 | self. Part of this design and pattern was the freedom of free | will. |
T4:12.28 | Free | will continues in the pattern of Christ-consciousness. Love |
T4:12.28 | in relationship and unity rather than learning. What this means | will be revealed to you and shared by all who abide within |
T4:12.30 | What | will help you to remain doubt-free and thus fear-free and continually |
T4:12.30 | that reveal the design. This new design, and the new patterns that | will be helpful to you in its sustainability, are what must be |
T4:12.31 | of Christ-consciousness. Once you have adapted to this nature you | will realize that what is communicated through our dialogues and |
T4:12.31 | and sisters, is simply communication of what already is. This | will help you to adapt to the revelations that replace learning. This |
T4:12.31 | help you to adapt to the revelations that replace learning. This | will help you to adapt to the truth of a sharing you will have |
T4:12.31 | learning. This will help you to adapt to the truth of a sharing you | will have received even before it is communicated through the means |
T4:12.31 | it is communicated through the means to which you are accustomed. It | will help us together to establish the new patterns by which you and |
T4:12.31 | the new patterns by which you and those who come after you, | will more fully come to awareness of all they have inherited and all |
T4:12.33 | our lack of separation is part of the creation that is before us. It | will be mutually decided through the coming revelations and our |
T4:12.34 | Creation is a dialogue. Creation—which is God and us in unity— | will respond to our responses. Will respond to what we envision, |
T4:12.34 | —which is God and us in unity—will respond to our responses. | Will respond to what we envision, imagine and desire. Creation of the |
T4:12.34 | that included the leaving behind of fear and judgment and a separate | will, was necessary to begin creation of the new. Your former |
T4:12.35 | What | will the future hold? It is up to us dear brothers and sisters. It is |
T4:12.35 | relationship, the only guarantees that are known to us is that it | will be a future of love, a future without fear, a future with |
D:1.5 | cannot fail to be prepared, for you are already accomplished. What | will it now take for your mind to accept this truth? For the mind’s |
D:1.13 | Open your heart, for the one who dwells there in union with all | will emerge from this opening. What was once a tiny pinprick of light |
D:1.15 | are for everyone because we exist in unity with everyone. No one | will be forced to join our conversation. Only those listening will be |
D:1.15 | No one will be forced to join our conversation. Only those listening | will be ready to hear. Only those ready to hear will listen. Remember |
D:1.15 | Only those listening will be ready to hear. Only those ready to hear | will listen. Remember that you cannot be taught what unity would |
D:1.16 | nature of untruth remains only as an acceptance of insanity. What I | will help you now to do is to reject this insanity and to accept the |
D:1.17 | Self you have learned that you are. But further learning is not what | will complete the transformation of the personal self to the elevated |
D:1.17 | transformation of the personal self to the elevated Self. Learning | will not sustain Christ-consciousness. |
D:1.18 | So what is it that we | will now do? If I do not teach, and you do not learn, what is our |
D:1.18 | for completing this transformation? As you have been shown, this | will not occur by means of preparation but by means of acceptance. |
D:1.18 | not occur by means of preparation but by means of acceptance. This | will not occur by means of trying but by means of surrender. |
D:1.22 | continued learning and a continuing relationship with a teacher who | will guide you through the application of what you have learned. You |
D:1.26 | you know not. This is not the case. When you fully accept this, you | will see that it is true. Like the acceptance of unity that could not |
D:2.1 | Obviously, when you consider this definition of acceptance, you | will see that this is not the way of the old. Willingness to receive |
D:2.2 | accept or receive the truth of who you are and the revelations that | will show you how to live as who you are within the world—and you |
D:2.3 | The patterns of the new | will begin to arise naturally when you deny the patterns of the old. |
D:2.3 | not what they do.” You must understand that you do know, and you | will know, as soon as the patterns of old have been denied. Denial is |
D:2.4 | design was perfect for the desired end, continuation of this pattern | will but interfere with your full acceptance of who you are in truth. |
D:2.8 | do not realize that you have learned all that you need to learn, you | will retain the consciousness of the separated self rather than |
D:2.10 | for you in the past. That they seemed to work is the illusion that | will give way as you deny yourself access to the old so that the new |
D:2.11 | If you | will examine this pattern of what you have believed “works for you,” |
D:2.11 | examine this pattern of what you have believed “works for you,” you | will find that you believe that each and every pattern will work in |
D:2.11 | for you,” you will find that you believe that each and every pattern | will work in one instance and not in another and that you make this |
D:2.12 | This | will not often prevent you from trying the same thing again although |
D:2.12 | prevent you from trying the same thing again although at times it | will. No matter what you try, however, it is based on this concept of |
D:2.13 | you learned ideas such as “when all else fails, plain old hard work | will see you through,” or that “safety is the absence of risk |
D:2.19 | no new learning or new systems based on the learning patterns of old | will work. Thus we begin anew. |
D:2.20 | “If the old way doesn’t work, teach me a new way.” You would say, “I | will work hard to learn and to implement the new if you will just |
D:2.20 | say, “I will work hard to learn and to implement the new if you | will just tell me what that new way is!” You would say, “Teach me the |
D:2.20 | that new way is!” You would say, “Teach me the new pattern and I | will put it into effect.” |
D:2.23 | agreement God asks of you, your part of the shared agreement that | will fulfill the promises of your inheritance. This is the Covenant |
D:3.1 | requires is the acceptance of the new and the denial of the old that | will allow for the sustainability of Christ-consciousness in form. |
D:3.3 | You are the ushers, the pioneers of the new. Your work, as | will be often repeated, is to accept the new, and deny or refuse to |
D:3.3 | the new, and deny or refuse to accept the old. Only in this way | will the new triumph over the old. |
D:3.4 | and triumph, words unusual to the body of this work but words that | will become usual in our normal conversation in this dialogue. I use |
D:3.5 | to your Self. In the same way, the mending of the rift of duality | will return the world to its Self. The mending of the rift of duality |
D:3.5 | and unity of Christ-consciousness. Sustaining Christ-consciousness | will accomplish the same thing in your world. |
D:3.9 | by the wholehearted self in union with all, are the ideas that | will allow new patterns to emerge and the design of the future to be |
D:3.10 | You | will notice that all of these ideas have in common a quality of |
D:3.10 | a quality of oneness. Oneness replaces duality or contrast. You | will be seeking now for replacements for that which formerly ordered |
D:3.10 | for replacements for that which formerly ordered your life. Thus we | will speak of these replacements. |
D:3.15 | mean to the elevated Self of form? Using this dialogue as an example | will serve to explain. This dialogue is continuous and ongoing. It is |
D:3.17 | This is why I | will often repeat that I am no longer your teacher. You must realize |
D:3.17 | as student. While you think of yourself as a learning being you | will still be looking to something or someone “other” than your Self |
D:3.18 | between the Self and the elevated Self of form. The Self was and | will always remain more than the body. The body, however, is also |
D:3.19 | birthed even though my Self was eternal. One of the major things we | will be seeing as we proceed is the difference between form and |
D:3.19 | and the difference in the way separate forms express content. It | will be challenging to become aware that different expressions do not |
D:3.20 | systems life-giving and life-supporting? The patterns of the new | will create only such life-giving and life-supporting systems—as |
D:3.21 | that this is just the first step revealed and that many of you | will feel already as if you are being asked to learn again and not |
D:4.3 | It is time now for this idea to be accepted, for if it is not, you | will remain in the prison you have created. |
D:4.5 | you remain incarcerated in a system that tells you when you | will awaken, how you will spend your day and when you will retire. |
D:4.5 | in a system that tells you when you will awaken, how you | will spend your day and when you will retire. You remain at the mercy |
D:4.5 | you when you will awaken, how you will spend your day and when you | will retire. You remain at the mercy of those who are incarcerated |
D:4.6 | when shape and form was given to what you fear and what you believe | will protect you. |
D:4.8 | is all any of you have known. An internally structured life | will quickly replace the life of the inmate if you will but let it do |
D:4.8 | structured life will quickly replace the life of the inmate if you | will but let it do so. Even those who actually are incarcerated in |
D:4.13 | Both of these divine patterns are being newly recreated and we | will talk much more of them and of the creative time we are now |
D:4.18 | new structure around the new pattern of acceptance, a structure that | will provide you with the home on Earth you have so long sought and |
D:4.19 | to follow in order to build the new—but as structure that | will provide you with parameters in which to begin to experience your |
D:4.22 | in which you cannot be fully yourself because of the security it | will provide, you are but tempted by a false security, and are called |
D:4.26 | proceed. But I tell you truthfully, your release is at hand and it | will come from your own authority and no place else. It is up to you |
D:4.27 | with yourself? That if you are unwilling to claim your freedom it | will not claim you? |
D:4.30 | Understand—this cannot be fearful. This cannot fail. This | will not bring suffering but will end suffering. Your part is to |
D:4.30 | be fearful. This cannot fail. This will not bring suffering but | will end suffering. Your part is to invite it and accept it when it |
D:4.31 | to the Covenant of the New, are one and the same, these reasons | will disappear. All the different reasons you would cite become what |
D:4.31 | cite become what they are—one reason, the same reason—and you | will see that what is one is neither the same nor different. You will |
D:4.31 | you will see that what is one is neither the same nor different. You | will see that there is one answer, an answer different for everyone |
D:5.4 | and surrounds you, the boundaries between the inner and outer world | will diminish and eventually cease to be. |
D:5.9 | in your world. Everywhere you look the lie of false representation | will be exposed and the truth will be represented once again. As was |
D:5.9 | look the lie of false representation will be exposed and the truth | will be represented once again. As was said earlier, this seeing of |
D:5.11 | that you are not called to reinterpret but to accept revelation. You | will not arrive at the truth through thinking about what everything |
D:5.11 | the truth, your representation, in the new time that is before us, | will be what is, in its representation. Simply put, this means that |
D:5.11 | be what is, in its representation. Simply put, this means that form | will never be all that you are, but will return to being as it was |
D:5.11 | Simply put, this means that form will never be all that you are, but | will return to being as it was intended and will represent the truth |
D:5.11 | be all that you are, but will return to being as it was intended and | will represent the truth of who you are. This true representation, |
D:5.12 | the time of learning are all that exist in all you see. But what now | will become of these patterns that are no longer needed as your |
D:5.12 | to represent what is and aid you in your return to what is, | will become what is once again. What you can see with your body’s |
D:5.12 | become what is once again. What you can see with your body’s eyes | will not be all that is but will represent all that is truly. |
D:5.12 | What you can see with your body’s eyes will not be all that is but | will represent all that is truly. |
D:5.13 | What was made of what was created in order to serve the ego | will cease to be, just as the ego has ceased to be. To outline and |
D:5.15 | ancient as the sea and stars, the elevated Self of form is new and | will create a new world. |
D:5.20 | approaching another thought reversal. Fear not that your confusion | will last, for with this thought reversal will come your final |
D:5.20 | not that your confusion will last, for with this thought reversal | will come your final release. |
D:5.21 | You | will soon wonder, if you haven’t already, just how it is going to be |
D:5.21 | a form, within a world that seems inconsistent with your being. You | will wonder how, if you are done learning, the patterns of learning |
D:5.21 | will wonder how, if you are done learning, the patterns of learning | will change to help you embrace the acceptance of this new time of no |
D:5.21 | to help you embrace the acceptance of this new time of no time. You | will wonder how to live in time as a being no longer bound by time. |
D:5.21 | I tell you truly, that once acceptance of what is is complete, we | will go on to these questions of the new and together we will find |
D:5.21 | we will go on to these questions of the new and together we | will find the answers. |
D:5.22 | heart. Let this be the day of your final surrender, the day that | will usher in a new day. |
D:6.2 | the text of your coursework was that of comparison, a method that | will be used less and less as the time of learning passes. The |
D:6.4 | true Self is beginning to reveal itself to you in ways of which you | will become increasingly aware. As you identify more intimately with |
D:6.5 | seen in a new way. It is thus with new ideas about the body that we | will begin the final thought reversal that will allow you to live in |
D:6.5 | about the body that we will begin the final thought reversal that | will allow you to live in form as who you truly are. |
D:6.11 | longer living in an “if this, then that” world, then the same laws | will naturally not apply. You developed an “if this, then that” world |
D:6.14 | into the new with your old ideas about your body, the old body | will be what you carry into the new with you. So let us begin with a |
D:6.14 | in this time of revelation, discovery is the new divine pattern that | will replace the “thought” systems we have spoken of. To discover is |
D:6.15 | Creation of the new | will be predicated on the discovery of what you did not previously |
D:6.15 | on the discovery of what you did not previously know. This | will not happen if you cling to “known” truths. Revelation cannot |
D:6.17 | and the “new” as a world in which giving and receiving are one, you | will begin to see the enormity of the thought reversal that now |
D:6.18 | that if you take care of the body in certain ways, then good health | will result. You have been taught that if your body expends energy, |
D:6.18 | You have been taught that if your body expends energy, then it | will need the refueling provided by food or rest. The list could be |
D:6.18 | by food or rest. The list could be endless, but these examples | will suffice. These modes of behavior concerning the body were given |
D:6.21 | When you remember that we have left blaming behind, you | will see that belief in fate is just as systematic and in need of |
D:6.21 | no longer need this type of learning device and to realize that it | will no longer serve you. |
D:6.26 | in time and outside of time. Remember, the elevated Self of form | will never be all that you are. This does not imply however, that |
D:6.26 | of shared consciousness. You are whole once again and your form | will merely represent one aspect of your wholeness in the field of |
D:7.2 | used because you were still, at that time, a learning being. Now we | will adjust our language somewhat to represent the new and restate |
D:7.3 | of form and unity. When Christ-consciousness is sustained, time | will collapse and the sun may not need to rise or set to separate day |

D:7.9 | are. The body, rather than aiding you in learning as it once did, | will aid you now in this discovery. |
D:7.12 | but had forgotten. Memory has returned you to your Self. Discovery | will allow the new you to come into being by revealing what you do |
D:7.16 | observation because it is not about what your body’s eyes see, and | will increasingly join with what you observe until your vision is |
D:7.20 | time-bound field of creation of form. As your awareness grows, you | will begin to expand and express in new ways. Those ways thus now |
D:7.24 | to improve the fate of man. Everyone secretly fears that evolution | will not keep pace with the changing world and that man’s reign over |
D:7.24 | with the changing world and that man’s reign over his environment | will come to an abrupt and painful end. Some even fear an |
D:7.26 | you have learned to view your body in the field of time. This | will be helpful now as you begin to imagine the “more” that you are, |
D:7.27 | are rarely consciously aware of existing in this “larger” home, you | will not always be aware of this circle of the Self as the All of |
D:7.27 | be aware of this circle of the Self as the All of Everything, and it | will, in fact, be helpful as we begin, to imagine on a smaller scale. |
D:7.29 | Thus we | will begin once again with parameters, with a territory of shared |
D:7.29 | than with consciousness of the All of Everything. This territory we | will call the territory of your conscious awareness. This territory |
D:7.29 | your body exists within the larger territory of the planet Earth. We | will begin here, with the territory of your conscious awareness, |
D:7.29 | of your conscious awareness, knowing that discovery and revelation | will expand this territory, and realizing that no matter how small |
D:7.29 | realizing that no matter how small this cosmic territory may be, it | will still at times give way to awareness of the All of Everything. |
D:8.1 | space, no particularity. It is an area of unlimited freedom. Yet we | will begin with parameters that make this area as imaginable to you |
D:8.6 | This idea | will aid you too in your understanding of discovery, as your natural |
D:8.6 | in “A Treatise on the New”, these surprises of discovery have, and | will, cause you to laugh and be joyous. There was never any need, and |
D:8.6 | cause you to laugh and be joyous. There was never any need, and | will never be any need, to figure them out—for surprises cannot be |
D:8.7 | While discovery of the new | will naturally include much that goes beyond what you now think of as |
D:8.7 | an already existing awareness of the Source of unity beyond the body | will increase your comfort level, and will help establish it as the |
D:8.7 | of unity beyond the body will increase your comfort level, and | will help establish it as the first parameter in the territory of |
D:8.9 | dialogues. As the mind opens and accepts the new, the art of thought | will become your new means of thinking. What has been learned will |
D:8.9 | will become your new means of thinking. What has been learned | will become an ability to think wholeheartedly, or with mind and |
D:8.9 | or with mind and heart in union, and then that ability | will transcend ability and wholehearted will become what you are, and |
D:8.9 | union, and then that ability will transcend ability and wholehearted | will become what you are, and wholeheartedness your sole means of |

D:8.13 | taken. What you will become aware of on the other side of that door | will require a new way of seeing, a new kind of awareness. |
D:9.8 | Treatise on the Art of Thought” was but a forerunner to what we now | will embrace together. It was a means and an end. |
D:9.9 | Its Recognition”. What was taught in order to aid your “recognition” | will clearly be different from what is revealed once that recognition |
D:9.14 | to see, on a small scale, the action that, on a large scale, | will become the new way. |
D:10.4 | individual self. You may feel that to think of this in any other way | will leave you with no individual, personal accomplishment, nothing |
D:10.7 | allowed to replace the pattern of learning, this way of discovery | will be a constant coming to know of what is as well as a constant |
D:11.6 | Let me ask you a question. Do you think desire | will still be with you when you have achieved what you have desired? |
D:11.6 | desired? Is it not possible to conceive of a time in which desire | will no longer serve you, just as learning now no longer serves you? |
D:11.6 | in that state, fully accept that your contribution is being made, | will desire still be with you? |
D:11.8 | the way in which these words have been given and received, you | will see that you can fully accept the way of unity. |
D:11.10 | is the same as your desire to make your thoughts into answers that | will provide you with direction. As was said earlier, you dare not, |
D:11.10 | seek again for answers when this has been accepted. Because you | will know and fully accept that the answers lie within. |
D:11.12 | The giving and receiving of these words | will never make sense within the terms of the world you have always |
D:11.12 | within the terms of the world you have always known. No explanation | will ever be good enough for those who set limits upon the truth. But |
D:11.12 | disbelief, the answer to the giving and receiving of these words | will provide the answer to the question your thoughts cannot quite |
D:11.13 | same evidence to your brothers and sisters that I know who they are, | will tell you something of the nature of who you are if you but let |
D:12.9 | distinction between thinking and thought. This distinction, while it | will not be consistent with your dictionary’s definition of these |
D:12.9 | shared with you in dialogue, but the thoughts. Thus this distinction | will suffice for our further discussion in this chapter. |
D:12.10 | come to you in a reflective moment at the end of the day. Again we | will see the idea of thoughts “coming to you” at such times. This is |
D:12.12 | comfortable with the idea that, released of old patterns, the self | will join with unity more and more frequently, until finally you will |
D:12.12 | will join with unity more and more frequently, until finally you | will sustain Christ consciousness and live in the world as the |
D:12.13 | One of the primary ideas that | will assist you in leaving patterns of thinking behind is the idea |
D:12.14 | of what the “thoughts” that come to you from unity may be like, you | will undoubtedly realize this: You have had such thoughts already, |
D:12.16 | has not yet occurred but that you are given the certainty to know | will occur. But once you have felt this certainty, you will never be |
D:12.16 | to know will occur. But once you have felt this certainty, you | will never be so sure again that you cannot know the truth. Adding |
D:12.16 | know the truth. Adding the phrase “beyond a shadow of a doubt” | will be something you no longer need add to your knowing of the truth |
D:12.16 | you no longer need add to your knowing of the truth because you | will realize its redundancy. |
D:12.18 | Some of you | will have credited your personal or individual self with the |
D:12.18 | individual self with the “figuring out” of this truth. Others of you | will have recognized the “voice” of authority with which this truth |
D:13.1 | There is no danger, in this time, that you | will know the truth and then discover that you were wrong. You know |
D:13.1 | of what you know. But this desire to proclaim what you know | will grow in you, and while you will not be “wrong” in what you know, |
D:13.1 | desire to proclaim what you know will grow in you, and while you | will not be “wrong” in what you know, you may have difficulty in |
D:13.2 | What you | will be coming to know in this new way of discovery will be coming to |
D:13.2 | What you will be coming to know in this new way of discovery | will be coming to you from the state of unity, from a state you share |
D:13.2 | two issues of great import contained within this statement, and we | will explore each separately. |
D:13.3 | The first is that what you | will be discovering, what you will be coming to know, will be coming |
D:13.3 | The first is that what you will be discovering, what you | will be coming to know, will be coming to you from the state of |
D:13.3 | that what you will be discovering, what you will be coming to know, | will be coming to you from the state of unity, which is a shared |
D:13.3 | from the state of unity, which is a shared state. Although what you | will be coming to know is already known to you, it will still come in |
D:13.3 | Although what you will be coming to know is already known to you, it | will still come in the form of a surprising discovery, a joyous |
D:13.3 | identity of the Self and all that lives along with you. This knowing | will, for a while yet, be surprising because it will be reversing the |
D:13.3 | you. This knowing will, for a while yet, be surprising because it | will be reversing the insanity of your life as you have known it thus |
D:13.3 | insanity of your life as you have known it thus far. These reversals | will be among the first revelations and will seem quite simple and |
D:13.3 | it thus far. These reversals will be among the first revelations and | will seem quite simple and pleasing as they enter your awareness, but |
D:13.4 | through the new means available to you within the state of unity | will still seem, at times, to need to be learned anew in daily |
D:13.4 | to need to be learned anew in daily living. This is knowing that | will often come in a flash, and is, in a sense, a humorous metaphor |
D:13.4 | another look at your Bible for many stories such as these, and you | will read account after account of people who did not know how to |
D:13.5 | of unity is in union and thus is whole. Therefore the knowing that | will be coming to you will be given in a state of wholeness. You have |
D:13.5 | and thus 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:13.5 | to know in wholeness, a way that is actually natural to you, it | will seem so foreign at times that you will feel “blinded” by the |
D:13.5 | actually natural to you, it will seem so foreign at times that you | will feel “blinded” by the light of knowing. You will realize that |
D:13.5 | at times that you will feel “blinded” by the light of knowing. You | will realize that you know something you did not know before in form, |
D:13.5 | know before in form, that it is important, monumental even; but you | will be unable to “see” this knowing, to envision it in the world of |
D:13.6 | You | will know that this knowing must be shared. And yet, you will not, at |
D:13.6 | You will know that this knowing must be shared. And yet, you | will not, at first, fully realize that this sharing is not needed so |
D:13.6 | attained a state of being able to sustain Christ consciousness, this | will no longer be a problem because you will constantly abide in |
D:13.6 | Christ consciousness, this will no longer be a problem because you | will constantly abide in awareness of the relationship of unity. But |
D:13.6 | of the relationship of unity. But until this state is achieved, you | will move in and out of states of awareness of the relationship of |
D:13.7 | This need not overly concern you as it | will not affect you as it did those of the past because you are |
D:13.8 | individuality, with separate thoughts, and with the idea that no one | will ever be able to truly know you. But join with others who are |
D:13.8 | experiencing the expanding awareness of the time of Christ, and you | will begin to see the evidence that things are different now. Join |
D:13.8 | to know through the state of unity, and the evidence to the contrary | will be overwhelming. You will begin to truly understand that you are |
D:13.8 | of unity, and the evidence to the contrary will be overwhelming. You | will begin to truly understand that you are not alone and separate, |
D:13.9 | relationship? Partial expression, yes. But that partial expression | will bear the mark of your perspective, and that is why partial truth |
D:13.11 | share or express the authority and truth you know it represents, you | will, by living according to what you know to be the truth, form the |
D:13.11 | you know to be the truth, form the very relationships and union that | will allow the truth to be shared. The relationship or union, in |
D:14.2 | Here it | will be helpful to keep in mind the idea of “as within, so without.” |
D:14.4 | to view your invulnerability as a testing ground against fate, you | will, to a certain extent, need to remember your invulnerability in |
D:14.4 | the discovery that lies beyond the body and mind, form and time. You | will need to put into practice the suspension of belief that was |
D:14.4 | practice the suspension of belief that was spoken of earlier. You | will need, in short, to set aside the known in order to discover the |
D:14.5 | by not worrying about it and allowing it to be and unfold as it | will?” Questions such as, “While I realize that the facts would tell |
D:14.8 | Your openness | will not only leave the way open for revelation but for cooperation. |
D:14.13 | not as yet recognize is going to be recognized. Once recognized it | will begin to be regarded as an ability. And finally, through |
D:14.13 | to be regarded as an ability. And finally, through experience, it | will become your identity.” That treasure is the new way of thought |
D:14.17 | and time. Becoming the elevated Self of form is becoming whole, and | will be the way in which source and cause transform body and mind, |
D:15.1 | way of creation as it is. It has not always been the same, and it | will not be the same in the future as it is now. But there are |
D:15.1 | the patterns that were created for your time of learning and that | will be applied anew to the creation of new patterns for the new time |
D:15.12 | passes through you. Now is the time when the fruit of those efforts | will be reaped. For what passes through you now is a relationship |
D:15.16 | been prepared for this by the realization that your thinking mind | will no longer be necessary as your access to unity, or |
D:15.18 | something of value, and that you wish to take care of it so that it | will continue to be of service to you. Maintenance implies a certain |
D:15.18 | vigilance, and anticipation, the value of what you seek to maintain | will be lost. Thus we look at maintenance as the work, or |
D:15.18 | is possible in this time. You realize that some breaks in service | will still occur, that maintenance will not make the connection |
D:15.18 | that some breaks in service will still occur, that maintenance | will not make the connection perfect, but that it will keep it of |
D:15.18 | that maintenance will not make the connection perfect, but that it | will keep it of service to you. |
D:15.19 | to serve you. You thus must strive to maintain the conditions that | will allow it to do so. This is, as with all maintenance, a temporary |
D:15.20 | need to maintain conditions that allow it to be present. Maintenance | will lead to sustenance. |
D:15.21 | of all that is available within unity, or Christ-consciousness, | will no longer be needed. This will be as big a step as was the step |
D:15.21 | unity, or Christ-consciousness, will no longer be needed. This | will be as big a step as was the step that left behind the conditions |
D:15.23 | that when you return to the level ground from which you climbed, you | will be different as a result of having made your ascent. The hard |
D:15.24 | What you | will have gained on your return will be the goal itself—the |
D:15.24 | What you will have gained on your return | will be the goal itself—the sustenance—for what you will have |
D:15.24 | your return will be the goal itself—the sustenance—for what you | will have gained will never leave you but will sustain you |
D:15.24 | be the goal itself—the sustenance—for what you will have gained | will never leave you but will sustain you forevermore. |
D:15.24 | sustenance—for what you will have gained will never leave you but | will sustain you forevermore. |
D:16.1 | and expression come together into the recreation of wholeness that | will be expressed in the elevated Self of form. |
D:16.4 | of the condition of time. Once these principles are unified, time | will have ended just as time was once begun. |
D:16.5 | you move from the state of becoming to the state of being whole, you | will have moved through the act of creation and you will have become |
D:16.5 | being whole, you will have moved through the act of creation and you | will have become a creator. You will be ready for creation of the new. |
D:16.5 | through the act of creation and you will have become a creator. You | will be ready for creation of the new. |
D:16.10 | you are not yet whole. When you are whole, creation’s principles | will be what you do and what you are rather than what is happening to |
D:16.13 | promised you. This is the creation of the new you that you were told | will precede the creation of the new world. This is what is meant by |
D:16.21 | the time of learning to be replaced with the only replacement that | will sustain Christ-consciousness, the replacement of learning with |
D:17.10 | beyond the state of initiation. You are no longer hopeful for what | will come. Hope is desire accompanied by expectation. To expect is to |
D:17.14 | earlier, for they are even more pertinent now. Do you think desire | will still be with you when you have achieved what you have desired? |
D:17.14 | desired? Is it not possible to conceive of a time in which desire | will no longer serve you, just as learning now no longer serves you? |
D:17.14 | in that state, fully accept that your contribution is being made, | will desire still be with you? |
D:17.26 | We | will spend forty days and forty nights here together, at the top of |
D:Day1.1 | is nothing new to those of you of the Christian faith. To others it | will seem an acceptance beyond your ability, an acceptance that there |
D:Day1.2 | continue to send your prayers to a god who is other than you, you | will not cross the threshold. |
D:Day1.3 | but to an ascended state. Without your acceptance of who I am, you | will not fully accept who you are. Without your willingness to |
D:Day1.3 | you are. Without your willingness to achieve this acceptance, you | will not receive the secret of succession presented here. You can |
D:Day1.3 | of succession presented here. You can read of it still, but it | will not convey to you what it will convey to those who have accepted |
D:Day1.3 | You can read of it still, but it will not convey to you what it | will convey to those who have accepted me. You will return to level |
D:Day1.3 | convey to you what it will convey to those who have accepted me. You | will return to level ground with eyes unopened and listen to parables |
D:Day1.4 | behind. This is required. This does not mean the married woman | will not relate to many men in many ways, have many male friends, |
D:Day1.7 | here. If you believe this mountain peak is merely metaphorical, you | will not realize that you have ascended or that you have left behind |
D:Day1.7 | of wisdom and that you can remain ambivalent about their source, you | will not know me nor accept me, and you will not know or accept your |
D:Day1.7 | about their source, you will not know me nor accept me, and you | will not know or accept your Self. |
D:Day1.10 | the spacecraft as necessary.” Lest this example fail to move you I | will continue. |
D:Day1.24 | of paradise and of your true Self and true home, in a form that | will take you beyond time to eternity. |
D:Day1.26 | You are living history. You are living what | will tomorrow be history. You are living creation. You are living |
D:Day1.26 | tomorrow be history. You are living creation. You are living what | will tomorrow be the story of creation. A chain of events is merely |
D:Day1.26 | of being into form and the movement of being beyond form. What | will be realized through the secret of succession is the elevation of |
D:Day2.6 | You continue to have a nagging feeling that this stone of regret | will always keep you anchored to the self you once were, that no |
D:Day2.6 | to the self you once were, that no matter how high you ascend, it | will continue to drag you back. |
D:Day2.7 | This is the feeling that | will prevent you from receiving the secret of succession. It is like |
D:Day2.7 | of succession. It is like the force of gravity, a feeling that you | will not be able to remain at this height long enough to benefit from |
D:Day2.7 | be able to remain at this height long enough to benefit from what | will be shared here. |
D:Day2.15 | to accept yourself. This unconditional acceptance is necessary. I | will give you one final example in order to make our discussion as |
D:Day2.17 | symbolic of the end of yours when so much suffering has continued. I | will add here the example of my resurrection. It is hard for you to |
D:Day2.17 | my time. It is difficult for you to believe that by following me you | will not walk in my footsteps. Perhaps you will be granted eternal |
D:Day2.17 | that by following me you will not walk in my footsteps. Perhaps you | will be granted eternal life, but not until you have suffered as I |
D:Day2.23 | all that suffering upon myself and kill it. To say, here is what we | will do with suffering. We will take it away once and for all. We |
D:Day2.23 | and kill it. To say, here is what we will do with suffering. We | will take it away once and for all. We will crucify it upon the cross |
D:Day2.23 | we will do with suffering. We will take it away once and for all. We | will crucify it upon the cross of time and space, bury it, so that it |
D:Day2.26 | my life demonstrated but needs to be demonstrated anew. But this | will not happen if you cling to suffering. If you do not accept your |
D:Day3.1 | anger. We have already spoken of denial, albeit in a new way. Now we | will speak of anger, in both an old and a new way. Let me suggest to |
D:Day3.4 | painful ways—said “no” to learning through the heart. Many of you | will admit to growing a bit angry with the beginning of this Course |
D:Day3.5 | felt a great deal of this anger yet, but it is there, and here we | will discuss its function. |
D:Day3.6 | abundance. Feel your body’s reaction to this statement. Some of you | will feel excitement at the idea of this issue being finally |
D:Day3.7 | associated with mind. It is through your mind that these new ideas | will change your actions and your life, your mind that, through |
D:Day3.7 | actions and your life, your mind that, through increased stillness, | will give you more peace, your mind that will accept comfort of a |
D:Day3.7 | increased stillness, will give you more peace, your mind that | will accept comfort of a certain type, even extending to a new |
D:Day3.8 | You may believe that having a spiritual context for your life | will assist you in feeling more loved and possibly even assist you in |
D:Day3.9 | Just posing the idea that having a spiritual context for your life | will assist you in living abundantly will cause you to think, “I |
D:Day3.9 | spiritual context for your life will assist you in living abundantly | will cause you to think, “I doubt it.” Or, “I’ll believe it when I |
D:Day3.12 | bartering, which we have spoken of before, or bargaining, which we | will speak more of here. It is the base idea that is behind all ideas |
D:Day3.19 | to be greater than that of your brothers and sisters. A few of you | will not feel this, and if you are among those few, do not skip past |
D:Day3.20 | those who do not experience abundance have done something wrong. We | will return to this, but first let’s continue with the denial of |
D:Day3.21 | even from a bank, is seen as a dire situation indeed. This asking | will likely be an ordeal of some consequence. Even those who are seen |
D:Day3.22 | upon this aspect of “reality.” The better life you might attain | will be a by-product rather than the effect of Cause. |
D:Day3.23 | as theirs. That while you admit you have “enough,” you are sure it | will not be enough for what the future holds. And if you ever need |
D:Day3.25 | the ideas that taught you that you do not have enough, that you | will only have what you can earn or learn, that only through effort |
D:Day3.25 | will only have what you can earn or learn, that only through effort | will you gain, and that with your gain will come another’s loss. In |
D:Day3.25 | that only through effort will you gain, and that with your gain | will come another’s loss. In other words, here is where you must |
D:Day3.31 | How can you have any peace when you live like this? What succor | will your inheritance provide if thoughts like these accompany your |
D:Day3.34 | that there is a secret you know not. There is, and it is a secret I | will try to share with you here, if you can let your disbelief and |
D:Day3.34 | away. I know you expect a flowery answer, and surely not one that | will be a “one, two, three steps to abundance” answer; but I will try |
D:Day3.34 | that will be a “one, two, three steps to abundance” answer; but I | will try to address you in an in-between tone, one that will not |
D:Day3.34 | but I will try to address you in an in-between tone, one that | will not cause you to feel spoken down to or incite your hostility. |
D:Day3.34 | cause you to feel spoken down to or incite your hostility. One that | will not only be truthful, but as practical as you need it to be. |
D:Day3.35 | God. It is only in knowing God that the relationship of abundance | will be made clear to you and break forever the chains of want. |
D:Day3.36 | It is only in relationship with the God within that the way | will become clear. |
D:Day3.40 | you once sought through learning, or through the mind, other means | will open to you. You may see, audibly hear, and interact with what |
D:Day3.45 | side and determined to be the one who is right, the one whose side | will win. What you hope to win, in this insane argument about |
D:Day3.49 | Many of you | will have already entered this step, this step of considering how |
D:Day3.50 | have been promised. But many of your ideas and actions at this stage | will be tinged with the anger that came before it. Here is where you |
D:Day3.58 | just another word, another concept, another trick of the mind, you | will not see it as the replacement of learning, and as such as an |
D:Day4.1 | While we | will broaden the focus of today’s dialogue beyond that of money or |
D:Day4.1 | the focus of today’s dialogue beyond that of money or abundance, we | will still be addressing this area of your concern, as well as all |
D:Day4.1 | as you begin to move through the steps toward acceptance. Your anger | will be serving you here as it brings attention to these areas most |
D:Day4.1 | separate. Although my arguments were not fed by anger, your response | will almost surely have been tinged with it at times. Although my |
D:Day4.1 | were not fed by anger, the arguments that arise now for you | will be and as such are actually appropriate to this stage of our |
D:Day4.2 | with the realization that we are on the same side. The arguments we | will be having will be meant to show you this: That on one side are |
D:Day4.2 | that we are on the same side. The arguments we will be having | will be meant to show you this: That on one side are the temptations |
D:Day4.2 | another way of saying all that you have learned; on the other side | will be the truth, the new temptations that will incite you to leave |
D:Day4.2 | on the other side will be the truth, the new temptations that | will incite you to leave behind the temptations of the human |
D:Day4.16 | If you | will contemplate for a moment what you know about the example left by |
D:Day4.16 | for a moment what you know about the example left by my life, you | will almost surely realize fairly quickly that my life challenged the |
D:Day4.31 | I am imparting to you the key to abundance and all the treasure that | will come with the end of the time of learning. You, on the other |
D:Day4.34 | There is a similar type of focus that | will serve you now. It is not a tool, as is meditation, for you are |
D:Day4.35 | just a little beyond where it is comfortable going, that there you | will find this access, this portal to all that lies beyond time and |
D:Day4.38 | replaced by love. If you fear to go where the portal of access | will take you, you will not go. Thus your desire needs to be greater |
D:Day4.38 | If you fear to go where the portal of access will take you, you | will not go. Thus your desire needs to be greater than your fear. |
D:Day4.39 | are, then our purpose of being together here on this mountain top | will go unfulfilled. |
D:Day4.44 | full access has been revealed, what is yours is everything. But you | will be different. |
D:Day4.46 | choice for you, for you know exactly what it means. It means you | will be as I am. It means you will live from love rather than from |
D:Day4.46 | exactly what it means. It means you will be as I am. It means you | will live from love rather than from fear. It means that you will |
D:Day4.46 | you will live from love rather than from fear. It means that you | will demonstrate what living from love is. It means that you will |
D:Day4.46 | you will demonstrate what living from love is. It means that you | will resurrect to eternal life here and now. It means no turning |
D:Day4.46 | It means no longer trying to leave these things behind for they | will be gone. It will mean no longer striving. It will mean no |
D:Day4.46 | longer trying to leave these things behind for they will be gone. It | will mean no longer striving. It will mean no specialness. It will |
D:Day4.46 | behind for they will be gone. It will mean no longer striving. It | will mean no specialness. It will mean the individual is gone, and |
D:Day4.46 | It will mean no longer striving. It will mean no specialness. It | will mean the individual is gone, and the self of union all that |
D:Day4.46 | is gone, and the self of union all that continues to exist. It | will mean peace, certainty, safety, and joy with no price. |
D:Day4.47 | The old challenges, the old reasons for existing | will be gone. All that will be left to do will be the creation of a |
D:Day4.47 | old challenges, the old reasons for existing will be gone. All that | will be left to do will be the creation of a new world in the only |
D:Day4.47 | old reasons for existing will be gone. All that will be left to do | will be the creation of a new world in the only way that it can come |

D:Day4.48 | make this choice with wholehearted desire, it will be done, and we | will continue our dialogue so that you know more of the difference |
D:Day4.48 | you have chosen. Once this difference is wholly known to you, we | will begin true discussion of creation of the new, for you will be |
D:Day4.48 | you, we will begin true discussion of creation of the new, for you | will be done with becoming. |
D:Day4.49 | your choice and have full realization of your access to unity. You | will be able, of course, to continue on without making this |
D:Day4.49 | to continue on without making this wholehearted choice, but you | will read only to learn and learning will not transform you. If you |
D:Day4.49 | wholehearted choice, but you will read only to learn and learning | will not transform you. If you do not truly and wholeheartedly desire |
D:Day4.49 | truly and wholeheartedly meet the condition of being fearless, you | will know this, and you will pass through the time of coming to |
D:Day4.49 | meet the condition of being fearless, you will know this, and you | will pass through the time of coming to acceptance again and again |
D:Day4.52 | but now you need to see their connection, for if you do not, you | will not realize that fear is all that needs to be left behind. You |
D:Day4.52 | will not realize that fear is all that needs to be left behind. You | will still think you have more to learn because you are angry, |
D:Day4.53 | you can move forward. If you can move forward without fear, you | will move forward only with love. If you move forward only with love, |
D:Day4.53 | move forward only with love. If you move forward only with love, you | will have realized there is nothing unacceptable about who you are |
D:Day4.56 | To truly experience relationship. It is from this beginning that you | will come to be as I am. |
D:Day4.58 | depression, or nostalgia for the way things were. These things | will not leave you before you leave them. But you will leave them. |
D:Day4.58 | were. These things will not leave you before you leave them. But you | will leave them. |
D:Day4.59 | Join me in this choice, and we | will leave behind the old and continue our movement toward creation |
D:Day4.60 | however. But one is needed to begin this movement. Followers | will naturally succeed the first although this will occur with no |
D:Day4.60 | movement. Followers will naturally succeed the first although this | will occur with no fanfare and no “one” to follow. The first will |
D:Day4.60 | this will occur with no fanfare and no “one” to follow. The first | will create a series. Thus will the secret of succession be returned |
D:Day4.60 | fanfare and no “one” to follow. The first will create a series. Thus | will the secret of succession be returned to you and put behind us |
D:Day5.1 | A point of access | will no longer be needed once full entry is attained, just as a key |
D:Day5.1 | once a door has been unlocked and passed through. Even though it | will not be permanently needed, however, this point of access will |
D:Day5.1 | it will not be permanently needed, however, this point of access | will remain crucial as long as you maintain rather than sustain the |
D:Day5.1 | rather than sustain the state of unity. This point of access | will thus now be discussed, both as an initial entry point and as a |
D:Day5.2 | For each of you this access point | will in truth be the same, but perhaps quite different in the action |
D:Day5.9 | Self rather than the pump that functions as part of your body, it | will be helpful to have identified this chosen access point for unity |
D:Day5.10 | is still fine-tuning to your understanding to be done, and this | will be done as you come to know what unity is, and so more fully |
D:Day5.12 | Access to unity | will seem, at first, a quite individual accomplishment, something one |
D:Day5.14 | Like love, unity has one source and many expressions. It | will be in your unique expression of union that your Self will come |
D:Day5.14 | It will be in your unique expression of union that your Self | will come to wholeness and you will be fully who you are and able to |
D:Day5.14 | expression of union that your Self will come to wholeness and you | will be fully who you are and able to express love fully. |
D:Day5.15 | or “making real” of your accomplishment, and its expression, | will not look the same way twice. What you each desire from union |
D:Day5.15 | not look the same way twice. What you each desire from union most | will be what finds the greatest expression through you. |
D:Day5.18 | want to know the specifics of how this thing called access to unity | will work, you are also impatient with specifics. You want immediate |
D:Day5.18 | relief and an end to effort, not another lesson to learn that you | will be told is not a lesson. Not another cause for seeming effort in |
D:Day5.19 | order to understand the way in which that movement is achieved, you | will almost surely once again have doubts. Doubts are never more |
D:Day5.22 | No longer | will what enters you get stopped by layers of defenses. No longer |
D:Day5.22 | will what enters you get stopped by layers of defenses. No longer | will it meet the road-block of your thinking, your effort, your |
D:Day5.22 | While the ego is gone, effort remains, and while it remains, you | will not realize full access to what you are given. We are speaking |
D:Day5.23 | to the image of the healer that was discussed earlier. While many | will heal, all attempts to teach or learn “how to” heal must be |
D:Day5.23 | “how to” heal must be thwarted, for if not, the pattern of learning | will remain. This is why there have always seemed to be “secrets” |
D:Day5.24 | remain as what it is—untaught and unlearned. Each gain from unity | will only, in this way, be seen as the new givens come to replace |
D:Day5.26 | you are fully aware of this is when full access is attained. So we | will continue our work now in releasing you from those things that |
D:Day6.1 | We now | will discuss being the true Self while becoming the true Self—the |
D:Day6.3 | must address this time so that any confusion it seems to be causing | will not delay your progress. |
D:Day6.4 | between the creation of art and the work we are doing here, we | will return to this example. We have spoken of becoming as the time |
D:Day6.7 | or only late in its development. But at some point, the sharing | will take place, and the reactions of those with whom the music is |
D:Day6.7 | take place, and the reactions of those with whom the music is shared | will impact the artist and the piece. Positive reactions might |
D:Day6.7 | determined than ever to see the piece through to the point where it | will be appreciated. Finishing touches will be put on the piece. Some |
D:Day6.7 | through to the point where it will be appreciated. Finishing touches | will be put on the piece. Some collaboration might take place to get |
D:Day6.8 | piece, but determining to see the project through, knowing that it | will make the next piece or the next a better piece of music. |
D:Day6.9 | completed rhythm, lyrics without notes, or a completed work that | will qualify more as practice than as art, the piece exists. In each |
D:Day6.9 | and full, and true expression of the artist’s idea, however, | will it and the artist be one. |
D:Day6.11 | of becoming. You have committed to completion of the becoming that | will create oneness between Creator and created. You have developed |
D:Day6.11 | are being who you are right now and eliciting the expression that | will take you to the final stage of being who you will be in oneness. |
D:Day6.11 | expression that will take you to the final stage of being who you | will be in oneness. |
D:Day6.12 | You are not separate now from who you | will be when you reach completion! You are in and within the |
D:Day6.13 | in daily life—I want to acknowledge the difficulty some of you | will seem to be experiencing even while pointing out to you that life |
D:Day6.15 | rebel and find many reasons not to make it so. And so, abundance | will have to come first, lack of cause for worry will have to come |
D:Day6.15 | And so, abundance will have to come first, lack of cause for worry | will have to come first, an ability to focus on other than daily life |
D:Day6.15 | have to come first, an ability to focus on other than daily life | will have to come first. These are what these continuing dialogues |
D:Day6.15 | will have to come first. These are what these continuing dialogues | will facilitate. |
D:Day6.16 | They | will facilitate this by facilitating the acceptance of life as it is. |
D:Day6.18 | It also does not mean that many of you | will not have changed or will be changing the very fabric of your |
D:Day6.18 | It also does not mean that many of you will not have changed or | will be changing the very fabric of your daily life. Changes you feel |
D:Day6.19 | other way around. You cannot find a place outside of yourself that | will allow for the elevation of which we speak. There are no hallowed |
D:Day6.19 | of which we speak. There are no hallowed halls of learning that | will accomplish this. There is no mountain top in any location on |
D:Day6.19 | relationship we are developing in this elevated place within that | will bring to your full realization and manifestation without the |
D:Day6.27 | not creating new special relationships but the true devotion that | will replace special relationships forever. |
D:Day6.30 | time to wait while you learn, or think you learn, the qualities that | will allow this. This is the point of movement, being, and expression |
D:Day6.31 | life. Realize that this is just what we work toward! This difficulty | will pass through you as you allow for and accept where you are right |
D:Day6.32 | are not the conditions of the time of learning, and so you | will soon see that the difficulty of the time of learning truly is |
D:Day6.33 | us speak now of the conditions of the time of acceptance, for these | will cheer you. |
D:Day7.6 | and is life-generating rather than life-degenerating. Your bodies | will thus regenerate rather than degenerate. Love is, of course, not |
D:Day7.6 | attribute, but the effect of living from love rather than from fear | will have a major transformative effect on form in this time of |
D:Day7.7 | Another condition of the time of acceptance that | will be of great service to you now is that of the different |
D:Day7.7 | service to you now is that of the different relationship that you | will have with time. This is a time of convergence, intersection, and |
D:Day7.7 | you, as within, so without. As you let go of time’s hold on you, it | will let go of you. Time will seem to expand but will actually be |
D:Day7.7 | As you let go of time’s hold on you, it will let go of you. Time | will seem to expand but will actually be contracting into |
D:Day7.7 | hold on you, it will let go of you. Time will seem to expand but | will actually be contracting into nothingness. Time is replaced by |
D:Day7.9 | the time of learning. Thus it is the mind’s acceptance of love that | will lead the body to exhibit the effects of love in the time of |
D:Day7.10 | little world and created its own universe. The elevated Self of form | will expand into the world and create a new universe. This condition |
D:Day7.13 | conditions and your relationship with each of these new conditions | will become clear to you. |
D:Day7.14 | or access to union is of supreme importance, since all else | will come of this. However, this is not an “if this, then that” |
D:Day7.14 | Your access to union sustains real life, the life of the Self, and | will come to sustain the elevated Self of form in a way as natural to |
D:Day7.15 | Access to unity is a phrase that | will only be used in this in-between time. You have always existed in |
D:Day7.15 | You have always existed in unity and once this is fully realized you | will no more need access to unity than you need access to breathing. |
D:Day7.15 | more need access to unity than you need access to breathing. Unity | will be your natural state. |
D:Day7.16 | the time of acceptance, like the conditions of the time of learning, | will pass. There are no conditions in the state of union as there are |
D:Day7.17 | There | will be, however, a new stage following the time of acceptance in |
D:Day7.17 | following the time of acceptance in which the elevated Self of form | will be created and come into full manifestation. |
D:Day7.20 | The condition of the time of acceptance that | will most clearly reveal to you your status in regard to maintaining |
D:Day7.20 | status in regard to maintaining or sustaining your access to union | will be that of the replacement of doubt with certainty. Certainty is |
D:Day7.21 | sense of certainty that some of you may be experiencing. Thus these | will be the subject of our next dialogue. |
D:Day8.2 | it. Love yourself. Love yourself enough to accept yourself. Love | will transform normal, ordinary, life into extraordinary life. Loving |
D:Day8.2 | Loving exactly who you are and where you are in every moment is what | will cause the transformation that will end your desire to remove |
D:Day8.2 | you are in every moment is what will cause the transformation that | will end your desire to remove yourself from life. All those |
D:Day8.6 | your job, to assume that the conditions you did not like yesterday | will be the same today. |
D:Day8.8 | of the way you want to be but of the way you are now. There | will be many things within your life that will take some time to |
D:Day8.8 | the way you are now. There will be many things within your life that | will take some time to change, but many others that can change |
D:Day8.8 | that can change instantly through this radical acceptance. You | will find, once you have begun to practice acceptance of the present, |
D:Day8.8 | you have begun to practice acceptance of the present, that there | will be far fewer things you do not like, and that you will be shown, |
D:Day8.8 | that there will be far fewer things you do not like, and that you | will be shown, in the relationship you have in the present, the |
D:Day8.9 | do not like the gossip taking place in a present moment situation, | will enable you not to participate, judge, or appear to accept that |
D:Day8.10 | Not all situations | will seem as easy as this example. Acceptance does not require any |
D:Day8.10 | this example. Acceptance does not require any specific action but it | will lead to action that is consistent with who you are when you are |
D:Day8.10 | of who you are. Understand, however, that this eventual outcome | will never occur without the initial acceptance. |
D:Day8.11 | This acceptance is the only thing that | will truly prevent judgment, for it does not require you to be your |
D:Day8.12 | Will knowing your dislikes cause you to be intolerant? This is an | |
D:Day8.12 | to others. Once acceptance of the Self begins to be practiced, you | will realize that the self of intolerance was the self of fear. |
D:Day8.13 | Remember that you have been told that your real Self | will be intolerant only of illusion and that this intolerance will |
D:Day8.13 | Self will be intolerant only of illusion and that this intolerance | will take the form of seeing only the truth rather than attempting to |
D:Day8.13 | —to the fear that feeds it, and beyond the fear to the love that | will dispel it. You are not called to walk away in disgust, showing |
D:Day8.14 | Even this type of seeing | will have remnants of righteousness attached to it if you do not |
D:Day8.14 | do not like it without accepting the feelings associated with it, | will make of it a mental construct, a rule you have set up for your |
D:Day8.14 | set up for your new self to follow. If this becomes the case, you | will find yourself adhering to a standard rather than acting from who |
D:Day8.14 | adhering to a standard rather than acting from who you are. You | will, in fact, have returned to judgment because you will have made a |
D:Day8.14 | you are. You will, in fact, have returned to judgment because you | will have made a predetermination, just as in saying you do not like |
D:Day8.15 | mental construct or rule that says you do not tolerate it, then you | will become intolerant. And because you will then act from a |
D:Day8.15 | do not tolerate it, then you will become intolerant. And because you | will then act from a predetermined standard rather than feeling the |
D:Day8.15 | the feelings associated with gossip in the present moment, you | will soon find that a bit of gossip will crop up in your own speech, |
D:Day8.15 | in the present moment, you will soon find that a bit of gossip | will crop up in your own speech, couched as something else, something |
D:Day8.15 | couched as something else, something even worse than gossip. You | will sigh, and reference something someone said or did that but shows |
D:Day8.16 | with the term or word certainty as it was used in the past, but you | will not want to confuse the term and the condition. You may think |
D:Day8.16 | away the type of certainty associated with the “term” of certainty | will cause you to be even less certain than you were before. You will |
D:Day8.16 | will cause you to be even less certain than you were before. You | will be less certain in your judgments and opinions, but this is |
D:Day8.17 | of yourself—in the present, as you are—for only by doing so | will you come to full acceptance of who you are and be able to allow |
D:Day8.17 | to merge with the self of form, thus elevating the self of form. You | will also, only in this way, come to true expression of the elevated |
D:Day8.18 | higher path to enlightenment. In denying your own feelings you | will tend also to deny the feelings of others. You will think that |
D:Day8.18 | own feelings you will tend also to deny the feelings of others. You | will think that you know the real from the unreal, truth from |
D:Day8.18 | that you know the real from the unreal, truth from illusion, and so | will disregard the feelings of others as if they do not matter. This |
D:Day8.18 | will disregard the feelings of others as if they do not matter. This | will only happen if you allow yourself to deny and thus become |
D:Day8.19 | of your own feelings, is not living in the present and | will create an attitude that will not be compassionate. This is why |
D:Day8.19 | is not living in the present and will create an attitude that | will not be compassionate. This is why we talk specifically here of |
D:Day8.20 | of a present moment situation, but see a future where the true Self | will be more evolved, evolved enough not to feel the anger or hurt, |
D:Day8.21 | realize that you no longer have cause to fear your feelings. They | will no longer be the source of the misdirection of the past if you |
D:Day8.21 | your feelings are of the truth. This is certainty. This is all that | will prevent you from “reacting” to feelings out of your previous |
D:Day8.22 | If anger arises in you now, it does not mean that you | will react in whatever way anger once called you to react and it does |
D:Day8.24 | It is about observing what is. The power to observe what is, is what | will keep you unified with your brothers and sisters rather than |
D:Day8.26 | in a state of non-acceptance and whatever peace you are feeling | will not last. Whatever access to unity you have experienced will not |
D:Day8.26 | feeling will not last. Whatever access to unity you have experienced | will not last because you will not be choosing the time of acceptance. |
D:Day8.26 | access to unity you have experienced will not last because you | will not be choosing the time of acceptance. |
D:Day8.27 | on unity when you are still in need of this full acceptance or you | will not reach the place of sustainability. Every situation and every |
D:Day8.27 | Every situation and every feeling that you do not like | will pull you from union toward separation. All feelings of |
D:Day8.27 | that which you do not like, or “how to” create a situation that you | will like. It is the bypassing of this “how to” function—a function |
D:Day8.28 | Realize how freeing it | will be to not go through the gyrations of attempting to figure out |
D:Day8.28 | “how to” reach acceptance of what you do not like! How freeing it | will be to realize you have no need to do this! How freeing it will |
D:Day8.28 | it will be to realize you have no need to do this! How freeing it | will be to accept all of your feelings and not to puzzle over which |
D:Day9.1 | from want, freedom from lack, freedom from repression, are what we | will now enjoy together on our mountain top retreat. We have not |
D:Day9.4 | reign, for it is your allowance, your choice, your permission, that | will make it so. The only one who can stop you now is yourself. The |
D:Day9.5 | We | will practice here to build your confidence, a confidence sorely |
D:Day9.5 | for the elevation of the self of form to take place. What good | will be the certainty of unity if the self of form has no confidence |
D:Day9.17 | How | will you ever realize, or make real, the Self you are when you strive |
D:Day9.20 | believe that we are proceeding to some predetermined ideal state, we | will not succeed in the work we are doing here together. For if you |
D:Day9.20 | in the work we are doing here together. For if you believe this, you | will not accept your Self as you are. If you do not accept your Self |
D:Day9.20 | your Self as you are. If you do not accept your Self as you are, you | will not move from image to presence. If you do not move from image |
D:Day9.20 | image to presence. If you do not move from image to presence you | will never realize your freedom. If you do not realize your freedom, |
D:Day9.20 | never realize your freedom. If you do not realize your freedom, you | will not realize your power. |
D:Day9.23 | this, however, your unique expression of your accomplishment | will not be realized. |
D:Day9.30 | Now we must return to you the freedom and the | will to fan the flames of your desire to be, and to express, who you |
D:Day9.33 | This pattern | will be easily replaced, however, as your acceptance of yourself as |
D:Day9.33 | to grow and to build your confidence. Unity and your access to unity | will be your certainty. Trust in your own abilities—the abilities |
D:Day9.33 | —the abilities of the self of form joined with the Self of union— | will be your confidence. Only these combined abilities will release |
D:Day9.33 | of union—will be your confidence. Only these combined abilities | will release your power. |
D:Day10.3 | I am giving you cause for movement, the effect of which | will be the movement from conviction to reliance. |
D:Day10.5 | self-confidence. These needs are tied to your feelings and thus we | will return to a discussion of feelings in connection with the ideas |
D:Day10.6 | Confidence in your feelings | will lead to confidence in your Self. While you think it is your |
D:Day10.6 | in your Self. While you think it is your access to unity that | will be the more difficult to achieve and sustain, this will not be |
D:Day10.6 | unity that will be the more difficult to achieve and sustain, this | will not be the case for most of you, for the simple reason that the |
D:Day10.6 | you, for the simple reason that the certainty that comes from union | will seem to come, at least initially, from a place other than the |
D:Day10.6 | to come from a place “other than” or beyond the self of form, you | will instinctively have greater trust in it. You will believe it |
D:Day10.6 | self of form, you will instinctively have greater trust in it. You | will believe it comes from a place “other than” or beyond the self of |
D:Day10.10 | feeling, but even so, it is your feelings about such thoughts that | will often determine how you act upon them. Do you trust in your |
D:Day10.11 | or insights and your distrust of this knowledge and insight | will need to be overcome. |
D:Day10.14 | your feelings or seeking outside assurances of what you know | will lead to either confidence or certainty is foolish. |
D:Day10.15 | equal, you still hold an image of me as “other than” yourself. You | will never fully rely upon your Self while you hold these images. |
D:Day10.19 | Thus I | will speak to you from this point onward as the voice of |
D:Day10.20 | is the same voice that animated the man Jesus two thousand years ago | will aide you in realizing that this is the voice that will now |
D:Day10.20 | years ago will aide you in realizing that this is the voice that | will now animate the elevated Self of form, or in other words, you. |
D:Day10.21 | as the voice of Christ-consciousness—as your own true Self—you | will not have lost Jesus as your companion and helpmate but will only |
D:Day10.21 | —you will not have lost Jesus as your companion and helpmate but | will only know more fully the content of the man Jesus. As you join |
D:Day10.21 | Jesus. As you join with Christ-consciousness in this dialogue, you | will realize you have not lost your Self but will only know more |
D:Day10.21 | in this dialogue, you will realize you have not lost your Self but | will only know more fully the content of your Self. |
D:Day10.23 | I | will still be with you to point the way, but if you can cease to |
D:Day10.23 | sharing in relationship in which an exchange is taking place, you | will further your progress greatly. |
D:Day10.24 | as it may seem when presented in this way, is an exchange and | will only become more so as we proceed. I am not imparting wisdom |
D:Day10.32 | you are called, in unity, to respond to and with. But this response | will not be generated without the feelings that precede them! When |
D:Day10.33 | embrace your power. The power of love is the cause and effect that | will change the world by returning you, and all your brothers and |
D:Day10.33 | from within. It is the transformation that is caused within that | will affect the world without. |
D:Day10.37 | all these issues is fear. The cause and effect of love is all that | will replace these causes of fear with the means and end that will |
D:Day10.37 | that will replace these causes of fear with the means and end that | will transform them along with you. You are means and end. It is |
D:Day10.37 | power to be saviors of the world. It is from within that your power | will save the world. |
D:Day10.38 | your happiness, your peace, and your acceptance of the power that | will cause these things to come to be. Yet I know you and what you |
D:Day10.38 | your feelings in the way you might desire have worked. This | will work. |
D:Day10.39 | same tenderness for each other and the world. This is unity. This | will save us. This will save the world. |
D:Day10.39 | for each other and the world. This is unity. This will save us. This | will save the world. |
D:Day12.2 | surrounded, taken up, by consciousness. It is your feelings that now | will be the sense organs of this spaciousness. Not feelings of sight |
D:Day12.6 | self of form. Feel the love of the space that is you. All obstacles | will vanish. |
D:Day12.8 | Not all forms | will be met as obstacles. Forms are only as real as the perceiver |
D:Day12.8 | only as real as the perceiver perceives them to be. Thus your space | will effortlessly join with the space that is free and open to |
D:Day14.1 | wounded self. It is your acceptance that escape is not possible that | will lead you out of forgetfulness to remembrance. It is in the |
D:Day14.13 | it as you own the power that is yours. This one voice of the many | will continue to point the way for only a short time longer. Thus the |
D:Day15.1 | When you fully realize that sharing is necessary you | will have entered the dialogue. When you have fully surrendered to |
D:Day15.1 | surrendered to the fact that you can’t come to know on your own you | will have entered the dialogue. When you fully accept that the voice |
D:Day15.1 | that the voice of the one can be heard in the voice of the many you | will have entered the dialogue. When you fully realize that you are |
D:Day15.1 | that you are in-formed by everything and everyone in creation, you | will have entered the dialogue. |
D:Day15.9 | having your judgment alter natural cause and effect. This practice | will continue to serve you and will not be replaced, but supplemented |
D:Day15.9 | cause and effect. This practice will continue to serve you and | will not be replaced, but supplemented by the new practice of |

D:Day15.13 | or is it the challenge of moving with the current that you know | will be generated by the joining of spacious Selves? Do you fear your |
D:Day15.14 | here for. There is no time to waste and no protracted length of time | will be required if your willingness is true. |
D:Day15.15 | here to make one another known and in so doing to know oneness. It | will be less difficult to know this voice as the voice of oneness |
D:Day15.16 | them that Christ-consciousness is a form of “group think.” Never | will you feel more like an individual than when you are made known |
D:Day15.20 | initial, or practice stage of movement, it is obvious that movement | will always be needed for the clear pool to not become a stagnant |
D:Day15.22 | knowing that you have entered the dialogue does not mean that you | will not have an awareness of those who would infringe upon, rather |
D:Day15.24 | ability to carry an undivided but spacious consciousness with you | will be paramount and will have many practical as well as spiritual |

D:Day15.26 | to embrace all while focusing on your own purpose in being here, | will begin a new process of individuation. The distinctness of your |
D:Day15.26 | a new process of individuation. The distinctness of your own path | will be made visible and you will see that it may be quite different |
D:Day15.26 | The distinctness of your own path will be made visible and you | will see that it may be quite different from the others with whom you |
D:Day15.26 | know, and perhaps quite different than you thought it would be. You | will be shown that you can enter the dialogue with all and still |
D:Day15.27 | of walking alone approaching, or a time of gathering with many. You | will realize that you have felt cocooned by the time on the mountain |
D:Day16.7 | your feelings, reflect who you are, and that by acting on them, you | will act in accord with who you are and thus in accord with the |
D:Day16.11 | time you predetermine, in advance of knowing, what something is or | will be. You predetermine, or decide, for instance, that a physical |
D:Day16.11 | for the better. Only when you accept that no feelings are bad | will you allow yourself to come to know what they truly are. |
D:Day16.13 | All that you predetermine you have come to know | will be cause only for suffering, arrogance, and righteousness if you |
D:Day16.16 | and the spacious Self embraces them with love, the spacious Self | will be whole, for it will embrace everything—as love, which is |
D:Day16.16 | embraces them with love, the spacious Self will be whole, for it | will embrace everything—as love, which is everything—embraces it. |
D:Day17.10 | know—which is Christ-consciousness—through individual choice or | will. |
D:Day17.11 | Christ-consciousness is your | will to know, to be, and to express. The time of Christ, and the |
D:Day18.1 | for the beginning of the fulfillment of the way of Mary. Many of you | will follow the way of Jesus to completion, beginning a stage of |
D:Day18.1 | of interaction with the world, an interaction with the miracles that | will aide in the dismantling of the old and with preparing the way |
D:Day18.1 | and with preparing the way for the birth of the new. Others of you | will follow your hearts to a bypassing of the final stage of the old |
D:Day18.1 | old and to anchoring the new within the web of reality. Still others | will participate in both, following their innate desire to facilitate |
D:Day18.2 | complementary and symbiotic. Together they return wholeness and | will bring about the completion of the time of Christ. This symbiotic |
D:Day18.2 | completion of the time of Christ. This symbiotic working together | will be essential for the birth of the new and in truth symbolizes it |
D:Day18.4 | well as sameness and of the necessity of each. It is a choice many | will be called to so that sameness is seen in difference, the one is |
D:Day19.10 | required to do in the sense of fulfilling a specific function that | will become manifest in the world, but are required to do in the |
D:Day19.11 | This is not to say that those called to the way of Jesus | will find acclaim and those called to the way of Mary will find |
D:Day19.11 | way of Jesus will find acclaim and those called to the way of Mary | will find obscurity. Many called to the way of Mary will “do” much |
D:Day19.11 | the way of Mary will find obscurity. Many called to the way of Mary | will “do” much that is greatly desired in the world but what they do |
D:Day19.11 | will “do” much that is greatly desired in the world but what they do | will be a byproduct of their way of being rather than a means of |
D:Day19.11 | a means of facilitating that way of being. Many of the way of Mary | will find acclaim, yet neither acclaim nor obscurity will matter to |
D:Day19.11 | the way of Mary will find acclaim, yet neither acclaim nor obscurity | will matter to those following these ways. Being true to the self and |
D:Day19.11 | and the calling of the One Self is all that matters. Eventually all | will follow the way of Mary and such ideas as acclaim and obscurity |
D:Day19.11 | will follow the way of Mary and such ideas as acclaim and obscurity | will be no more. But at this time of transition, both ways are needed |
D:Day20.10 | Apply the art of thought to this idea and you | will complete the first transition. |
D:Day21.8 | This | will seem like an incredible reversal and thus it is. This is the |
D:Day21.8 | an incredible reversal and thus it is. This is the reversal that | will make of you a creator. But it can only happen if you make the |
D:Day21.10 | transition and on the reversal of thought that it requires. Thus | will you carry this time forward with you into creation of the new. |
D:Day22.3 | from among everything, is allowed reception and expression. Some | will find many avenues of channeling available to them, both through |
D:Day22.6 | you put it into words, make it into images, tell it in a story? You | will feel as if you will burst if you cannot share the union that you |
D:Day22.6 | make it into images, tell it in a story? You will feel as if you | will burst if you cannot share the union that you touch when you |
D:Day22.10 | be made known through reception and expression. Call it what you | will for what you call it matters not. Throw out all the words that |
D:Day23.3 | task before us is to come to understanding of the means by which you | will carry what you have been given down from the mountain and onto |
D:Day23.5 | to the forces that move inside of you is surrendering to your own | will. It requires full acknowledgment that you hold within yourself a |
D:Day23.5 | It requires full acknowledgment that you hold within yourself a | will to know and to make known. This will is divine will, your will, |
D:Day23.5 | that you hold within yourself a will to know and to make known. This | will is divine will, your will, Christ-consciousness. It is alive |
D:Day23.5 | yourself a will to know and to make known. This will is divine | will, your will, Christ-consciousness. It is alive within you. All |
D:Day23.5 | a will to know and to make known. This will is divine will, your | will, Christ-consciousness. It is alive within you. All that is |
D:Day23.5 | is that you carry it with awareness, honor, willingness. From this | will the new be birthed. |
D:Day24.4 | your potential to be released, your true nature in all its wholeness | will be revealed. |
D:Day24.8 | Will activates potential. It is the greatest of all triggers. An | |
D:Day24.8 | potential. It is the greatest of all triggers. An activated | will realizes that you are the carrier of all the potential that |
D:Day24.8 | you are the carrier of all the potential that exists. An activated | will releases the power that is potential. Remember potential is that |
D:Day24.9 | carry your potential to the place of its birth through an activated | will, a will that is also carried within you. This merging of will |
D:Day24.9 | potential to the place of its birth through an activated will, a | will that is also carried within you. This merging of will and |
D:Day24.9 | will, a will that is also carried within you. This merging of | will and potential is the birth of your power and the birth of the |
D:Day25.1 | Emptiness of mind | will now be something that may seem to plague many of you. Where once |
D:Day25.2 | stillness, however. As it envelopes you, there is a part of you that | will fight back. If there is nothing new to record, nothing new to |
D:Day25.2 | nothing new to learn, no new divine inspiration, a part of your mind | will attempt to create from this nothingness. Allow this to happen. |
D:Day25.3 | moment, crystal clear in the next. Let them all come. Your thoughts | will slip from the sublime to the mundane. Let them come. |
D:Day25.4 | new pattern of stillness combined with non-resistance that the new | will come. |
D:Day25.7 | except by your own hands. It cannot be sorted except by your own | will. I remind you not to attempt this as a task to which you apply |
D:Day26.4 | These things too the Self can do if allowed to do so. The Self | will guide you if you will allow it to. Your Self will lead you down |
D:Day26.4 | the Self can do if allowed to do so. The Self will guide you if you | will allow it to. Your Self will lead you down from the mountain top |
D:Day26.4 | to do so. The Self will guide you if you will allow it to. Your Self | will lead you down from the mountain top and through the valleys of |
D:Day26.5 | You can trust in your Self. | Will you? By tending your garden you will develop this trust and |
D:Day26.5 | You can trust in your Self. Will you? By tending your garden you | will develop this trust and prepare for your descent to level ground. |
D:Day26.6 | Your self-guidance can be thought of as an internal compass. It | will not necessarily know the answers as each answer is sought, but |
D:Day26.6 | the answers as each answer is sought, but if paid attention to, it | will show you the way to knowing. |
D:Day27.2 | were capable of. This certainty is beginning to form within you but | will not come into its fullness except through experience. This |
D:Day27.5 | This is the quality of the inner-sight you now | will carry with you to level ground because you have practiced during |
D:Day27.7 | and a mountain top perspective. Your descent from the mountain top | will not mean that you no longer have the perspective gained there. |
D:Day27.8 | you continue to practice your apprehension of this new situation, it | will become more than a concept. As was spoken of in “A Treatise on |
D:Day27.8 | of in “A Treatise on the Nature of Unity and Its Recognition”, it | will become a trusted ability and, through practice, lose its |
D:Day27.8 | In this same way, the dualistic seeming nature of all of life | will be revealed to only seem to be so. |
D:Day27.15 | and variability through experience. The elevated Self of form | will be the expression of new life lived within the constant of |
D:Day27.16 | what you are beginning to do through your practice. Your proficiency | will change your experience, and your experience will change the |
D:Day27.16 | Your proficiency will change your experience, and your experience | will change the world. |
D:Day28.2 | Most of you have experienced several stages of awareness, and we | will speak here of those experienced during the years of what is |
D:Day28.2 | age, or the age of reason. These have been discussed before so this | will be kept brief and illustrate only what is needed for our |
D:Day28.6 | level, some people reach a crossroad that feels like a choice that | will move their lives in such a different direction that it is both |
D:Day28.6 | career path. Many simply reach a state of reasonable comfort and | will make no choices that will effect that comfort level. |
D:Day28.6 | reach a state of reasonable comfort and will make no choices that | will effect that comfort level. |
D:Day28.8 | It is a choice so different and a means so revolutionary that it | will take some getting used to. This change is predicated on all the |
D:Day28.13 | on the circumstances of your life, one of these two attitudes | will have a reverse side that will have a greater hold on you. Your |
D:Day28.13 | your life, one of these two attitudes will have a reverse side that | will have a greater hold on you. Your life may have shown you that |
D:Day28.14 | If the attitude you | will have greater need of reversing is that of God determining the |
D:Day28.15 | people feel at least some combination of these two attitudes, but | will find that one is prevalent. You must now get past all such |
D:Day28.18 | is where the power of transformation lies. This transformation | will, however, take you beyond time, because once experience is moved |
D:Day28.18 | separation and into the realm of union or wholeness, new conditions | will apply. This is why it has been said that the changes that are to |
D:Day28.20 | “Time outside of time” by itself | will not cause the shift that needs to occur, however. What will |
D:Day28.20 | itself will not cause the shift that needs to occur, however. What | will create the shift is the ability to experience “time outside of |
D:Day28.22 | directed experience is to make the move into wholeness that | will cause the “shift of the ages,” the experience of variability |
D:Day28.24 | toward wholeness, all the pieces of all that we have talked about | will begin to fit together. A whole will form within your mind much |
D:Day28.24 | of all that we have talked about will begin to fit together. A whole | will form within your mind much as if you have been following a |
D:Day28.24 | been following a thread and now can see the tapestry. This tapestry | will bear the mark of your experiences and will be like no other. The |
D:Day28.24 | tapestry. This tapestry will bear the mark of your experiences and | will be like no other. The thread represents your own journey to |
D:Day28.25 | Separation is desired no longer, but experience is. Your | will and God’s are one and thus it is being made so. |
D:Day28.26 | threads together into the tapestry of your new life. This weaving | will take place as you continue to intertwine the two experiences |
D:Day28.27 | This is what we | will continue to speak of as we conclude this dialogue. |
D:Day29.1 | all that opposes wholeness into one level of experience, you | will be able to experience life from within the reality of wholeness |
D:Day29.2 | Your “self” | will no longer be divided into a spirit Self and a human self, living |
D:Day29.3 | to assist you in accomplishing the final joining, the joining that | will end duality and return you to wholeness—to who you truly are— |
D:Day32.3 | for if you retain any notions of God that are inaccurate, they | will arise here. |
D:Day32.5 | First we | will look at the concept of God as Supreme Being—God as one being, |
D:Day32.5 | might think of God creating. You might think of God granting free | will to His creations. Then, perhaps, you might think of God resting, |
D:Day32.6 | here or there, perhaps, but no, He has already granted free | will so He can’t do that? If the original purpose was knowing |
D:Day32.8 | a participatory being, but still falls short. Man lives and has free | will. Animals abide by the laws of nature. God is still a concept. |
D:Day33.4 | the heart of the new way of seeing yourself—a way of seeing that | will create a new world. |
D:Day34.5 | you—it is being fulfilled in you. As it is fulfilled in you, you | will create a new world—a world based on sameness rather than |
D:Day34.7 | If you do not make real your power, you | will experience yourself as powerless. If you experience your being |
D:Day35.6 | has been asked in this way in order to remind you that while you | will return to level ground, you will also retain the mountain top |
D:Day35.6 | order to remind you that while you will return to level ground, you | will also retain the mountain top experience. As was said before, the |
D:Day35.6 | top experience. As was said before, the mountain came to you. You | will thus always have the power to call upon the mountain top |
D:Day35.6 | top experience and the view of wholeness we have achieved here. You | will carry it within you, and when you feel not its power, you will |
D:Day35.6 | You will carry it within you, and when you feel not its power, you | will be able to call it forth simply by asking for it to be so. |
D:Day35.8 | to life is what has caused life to be as it has been, this shift | will cause life to be different, or in other words, new. |
D:Day35.17 | then the original creation must have occurred in this way. We | will not return to previous discussions of original creation, but it |
D:Day35.18 | you have made. Your life as you know it is what you have made. You | will only fully realize the difference between what you have made and |
D:Day35.20 | oneness of being and begin to create in unity and relationship, you | will do so by simply being who you are being, just as you have |
D:Day35.21 | and begun to make choices. While it has just been said that you | will create in unity and relationship much as you “created” during |
D:Day35.21 | during the separation, your creation in unity and relationship | will be free of choice. Creation in unity and relationship is |
D:Day37.8 | You keep striving for differentiation in a way that simply | will not work—through separation! And what’s more, you keep |
D:Day37.11 | Subtract any sum from another and you | will realize that subtraction results in a new number, a remainder, |
D:Day39.34 | What memory of I Am | will you carry with you now that you know that I Am is who I am and |
D:Day39.39 | into direct relationship with me on your own and of your own free | will. |
D:Day39.44 | You | will realize as you enter union by means of the bridge of our direct |
D:Day39.44 | union by means of the bridge of our direct relationship that you | will not leave your humanity behind. You will realize that as you |
D:Day39.44 | relationship that you will not leave your humanity behind. You | will realize that as you enter union by means of the bridge of our |
D:Day39.44 | union by means of the bridge of our direct relationship that you | will no longer see me as an inhuman God. You will know I am as human |
D:Day39.44 | 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 as am I. |
D:Day39.46 | You | will realize as you enter union that the tension of opposites is the |
D:Day39.46 | to your brothers and sisters. They are your bridge to yourself. You | will also be the bridge between war and peace, sadness and joy, evil |
D:Day39.46 | and peace, sadness and joy, evil and good, sickness and health. You | will turn anger to gladness, tears to laughter, and replace weariness |
D:Day39.46 | tears to laughter, and replace weariness with rest. But you | will still know all of these. You will know the All of Everything and |
D:Day39.46 | weariness with rest. But you will still know all of these. You | will know the All of Everything and the emptiness of nothing and our |
D:Day39.46 | All of Everything and the emptiness of nothing and our relationship | will bridge the distance and become cause and effect, means and end. |
D:Day39.47 | You | will realize that as we individuate we are in a constant state of |
D:Day40.9 | since the beginning of time. It is creation in the making. What | will be created now, and the individuation that will occur now, will |
D:Day40.9 | in the making. What will be created now, and the individuation that | will occur now, will hold all the power of your experience as well as |
D:Day40.9 | What will be created now, and the individuation that will occur now, | will hold all the power of your experience as well as all the power |
D:Day40.9 | experience as well as all the power of your longing for return. This | will be a great power that you carry within you as you return to love |
D:Day40.32 | spoken to me, and I have responded. Love has responded. How, now, | will you respond to love? |
D:Day40.33 | When you turn the last page, | will you cry tears of sadness that our dialogue is complete, that you |
D:Day40.33 | you cry tears of sadness that our dialogue is complete, that you | will hear my voice no more? Or will you brave your own relationship |
D:Day40.33 | our dialogue is complete, that you will hear my voice no more? Or | will you brave your own relationship with me? Will you turn to your |
D:Day40.33 | my voice no more? Or will you brave your own relationship with me? | Will you turn to your brother and hear my voice in him? Will you be |
D:Day40.33 | with me? Will you turn to your brother and hear my voice in him? | Will you be my voice as you turn to your sister? Will you carry the |
D:Day40.33 | my voice in him? Will you be my voice as you turn to your sister? | Will you carry the fullness of our relationship within you? Will you |
D:Day40.33 | sister? Will you carry the fullness of our relationship within you? | Will you be one with me, and in being one with me never feel alone |
D:Day40.33 | you be one with me, and in being one with me never feel alone again? | Will you let the emptiness of separation leave you once and for all? |
D:Day40.34 | Will you continue this dialogue with me and with each other? Will you | |
D:Day40.34 | Will you continue this dialogue with me and with each other? | Will you carry it with you to level ground—to the place of |
D:Day40.35 | Will you be the relationship that returns love to all who share this | |
E.1 | Ah, imagine now what it | will be like to have nothing left to learn, nothing left to become. |
E.1 | able to forget all ideas of self-improvement, imagine how much time | will be saved by this quest coming to an end. But what now will you |
E.1 | much time will be saved by this quest coming to an end. But what now | will you do? What now will you be? |
E.1 | by this quest coming to an end. But what now will you do? What now | will you be? |
E.2 | Believe it or not, you | will find these questions arise less and less until soon, and very |
E.2 | these questions arise less and less until soon, and very soon, they | will be entirely gone, never to be asked again. Why? Because now that |
E.2 | you are being who you are in unity and relationship, these questions | will make no sense to you. They already have far less power. Can you |
E.2 | choosing to have them gone from you. This is the only choice you | will still have to make—the choice to leave behind the old in order |
E.3 | You are in relationship now only with love, and so nothing | will be hard for you. Desire an old pattern to be gone and it will be |
E.3 | will be hard for you. Desire an old pattern to be gone and it | will be gone. This little note added to the end of our mountain top |
E.3 | time together is only here to help you realize and accept that this | will be so. Do not expect difficulties and they will not arise. |
E.3 | and accept that this will be so. Do not expect difficulties and they | will not arise. |
E.4 | You have returned to your true nature. Perhaps you | will remember that within A Course of Love you were once asked to |
E.5 | Self, and as you begin to move more fully back into your life, you | will realize where the differences between this natural Self and your |
E.5 | differences between this natural Self and your former self lie. You | will realize that you know what to do. You will realize that there is |
E.5 | your former self lie. You will realize that you know what to do. You | will realize that there is no “will be.” That you are and that you |
E.5 | will realize that there is no “will be.” That you are and that you | will respond as easily to your surroundings as does the cheetah to |
E.6 | Expect heaven on earth you were told. This is what it is. There | will be no doubt, no indecision. Your path will be so clear to you it |
E.6 | This is what it is. There will be no doubt, no indecision. Your path | will be so clear to you it will be as if it is the only path in the |
E.6 | be no doubt, no indecision. Your path will be so clear to you it | will be as if it is the only path in the world and you will wonder |
E.6 | to you it will be as if it is the only path in the world and you | will wonder why you didn’t see it all along. Expect this. And it will |
E.6 | you will wonder why you didn’t see it all along. Expect this. And it | will be. So be it. |
E.7 | There is no becoming. As you are no longer becoming there | will be no becoming projected from you onto the world. There will be |
E.7 | there will be no becoming projected from you onto the world. There | will be no projections at all and this is why you will see so |
E.7 | the world. There will be no projections at all and this is why you | will see so clearly. You will see what is. You will create what will |
E.7 | no projections at all and this is why you will see so clearly. You | will see what is. You will create what will be through the extension |
E.7 | and this is why you will see so clearly. You will see what is. You | will create what will be through the extension of love. This is all. |
E.7 | you will see so clearly. You will see what is. You will create what | will be through the extension of love. This is all. So be it. |
E.9 | this knowing within yourself, this is how long the eternity of being | will be for you. There is no one to turn out the lights but you. |
E.9 | as gently and as your own desire arises, into all-being. Mainly you | will enjoy being—being who you are. You will be happy. You will be |
E.9 | into all-being. Mainly you will enjoy being—being who you are. You | will be happy. You will be content. And you will know, unerringly, |
E.9 | you will enjoy being—being who you are. You will be happy. You | will be content. And you will know, unerringly, how to act naturally |
E.9 | —being who you are. You will be happy. You will be content. And you | will know, unerringly, how to act naturally from your being. |
E.10 | this joy being selfish for there is no such thing in unity. You | will share your joy continuously just by sharing yourself. |
E.11 | You | will not realize that everything has changed until you “realize” or |
E.11 | revelation come to you. All you need do is expect it to come and it | will come. So be it. |
E.12 | You | will also not realize that you have chosen nothing until and unless |
E.14 | You | will no longer need to “think” about who you are and what you will |
E.14 | You will no longer need to “think” about who you are and what you | will do, and your willingness to give up this thinking will be |
E.14 | and what you will do, and your willingness to give up this thinking | will be paramount to your realization that everything has changed or |
E.17 | this dialogue, in this form, must come to an end. The dialogue you | will carry forward with you, with your realization of being, will be |
E.17 | you will carry forward with you, with your realization of being, | will be a different dialogue. |
E.19 | these words behind now, and bring only the dialogue with you. You | will unerringly find those who can engage in the new dialogue, those |
E.19 | the new, those who seek to share and exchange in harmony. Thus | will you begin and your numbers increase. |
E.20 | thoughts and notions of becoming. If you hang on to them, your being | will not have the chance to realize and make real its being. You will |
E.20 | will not have the chance to realize and make real its being. You | will be different, only if you allow and will yourself to realize and |
E.20 | make real its being. You will be different, only if you allow and | will yourself to realize and make real this difference. It is a |
E.21 | This difference, if you | will allow it to come, will take away all worry, all thought about |
E.21 | This difference, if you will allow it to come, | will take away all worry, all thought about how you could be better, |
E.21 | character flaws or faults, forget about them now. In being they | will be yours or they will not. You will be happy that you have these |
E.21 | faults, forget about them now. In being they will be yours or they | will not. You will be happy that you have these aspects of humanness |
E.21 | about them now. In being they will be yours or they will not. You | will be happy that you have these aspects of humanness or you will |
E.21 | You will be happy that you have these aspects of humanness or you | will not and they will be gone. Do not expect the same unhappiness |
E.21 | that you have these aspects of humanness or you will not and they | will be gone. Do not expect the same unhappiness with yourself. You |
E.22 | If you | will but let it come, you will see that you are being who you are |
E.22 | If you will but let it come, you | will see that you are being who you are being for a reason, for a |

A.26 | their desire to learn something that will feed their minds or egos | will seldom continue to this next level. The next level brings with |
A.26 | the reader encountered in receiving the Course, but the reader | will now encounter these situations in life. The reader is no longer |

A.34 | While they are looking for it to show up in an old way they | will miss the new ways that are being revealed to them. Remind them |
A.38 | “Listen and you | will hear.” But to what are you listening? Entering the dialogue is |
A.42 | of revelation of Who You Are. When Who You Are is fully revealed you | will realize that it is time to leave the classroom and live as Who |
A.42 | to leave the classroom and live as Who You Are in the world. You | will realize that your participation in the world as Who You Are is |
A.42 | and that it is an on-going aspect of creation by which the new | will be created. |
A.43 | What now | will be your relationship to this work that has returned you to Who |
A.43 | and a direct sharing of it with others. For many more of you it | will not. |
A.44 | For each, being Who You Are | will be an expression of unity and oneness that only you are able to |

C:11.13 | Your protectiveness of your free will is why we must separate | willingness from your perception of free will. Your free will is the |
C:11.13 | battle will take place. Before this final battle is reached your | willingness to change your mind about its need to be fought is what |
C:11.14 | you have made. Let this prophecy you have made go, and realize that | willingness does not negate free will. Yet even while you cannot yet |
C:11.14 | temporary decision that can be rescinded at any time. Your temporary | willingness will be enough to begin to effect cause and in so doing |
C:11.15 | What | willingness is it that you are asked to give? It can come in many |
C:11.15 | can come in many manners and be given many forms. It can be called a | willingness to change your mind, or to allow yourself to be open to |
C:11.15 | open to new possibilities. It can be called a change of heart, or a | willingness but to, for a little while, withdraw your fear and your |
C:11.15 | while, withdraw your fear and your protection from it. But what this | willingness really does is allow your call to be sounded, your call |
C:11.15 | your call to be sounded, your call to love and to be loved. It is a | willingness to receive love from your Source and to be loved for who |
C:17.5 | yet all the evidence of your own thoughts will reveal to you your | willingness to accept the bad about yourself and your world. And so |
C:17.9 | Receiving implies that something is being given. Receiving implies a | willingness to accept what is given. This willingness is what you do |
C:17.9 | given. Receiving implies a willingness to accept what is given. This | willingness is what you do not offer. Yet this is due to your lack of |
C:18.23 | what was said earlier about the pain experienced from love and your | willingness to cling to it despite the pain you are experiencing. Yet |
C:19.5 | The first step in leading you to experience of another kind is your | willingness to accept that you are here to learn, and that your body |
C:19.23 | changing your means of perception to that of right-mindedness. Your | willingness to accept me as your teacher will help you to accept my |
C:20.38 | best possible outcome you can imagine could truly occur. Hope is a | willingness to accept love and the grace and cooperation that flow |
C:20.38 | love and the grace and cooperation that flow from love. Hope is a | willingness to ask for help, believing it will come. Hope is the |
C:20.45 | that they can be given, through you, to others as well. It implies | willingness rather than resistance. To change your thinking and your |
C:20.45 | thinking and your feelings from expecting resistance to expecting | willingness is another key change that will lead toward |
C:20.46 | you naturally have reacted with resistance. You must replace your | willingness to believe in your inadequacy and smallness with your |
C:20.46 | willingness to believe in your inadequacy and smallness with your | willingness to believe in your ability and mightiness. Remember not |
C:27.14 | reality, and as a call to be in relationship with it. It is the | willingness to set aside judgment so that you are not contemplating |
C:27.17 | in which those who live in relationship become certain, and their | willingness to act unimpeded by uncertainty. All uncertainty is fear. |
C:27.21 | so. There is only one remaining source of such unwillingness. Your | willingness will now depend on whether or not you trust. Do you trust |

T1:3.17 | to miracles, only to having them performed through you. Your lack of | willingness to perform miracles, you will say, stems from your |
T2:1.4 | you had once hoped to have become abilities. You think this | willingness to accept who you are now is what this Course has led you |
T2:1.14 | is an elementary step and one easily accomplished with but a bit of | willingness. This change in thinking in regards to treasures you do |
T2:2.9 | ideas illustrate your belief that something other than your own | willingness is necessary. Only in your own willingness does anything |
T2:2.9 | other than your own willingness is necessary. Only in your own | willingness does anything exist because only in your willingness is |
T2:2.9 | in your own willingness does anything exist because only in your | willingness is the power of creation expressed. |
T2:3.1 | between the life you are living and the life you want lies in your | willingness to express who you are. |
T2:3.7 | is you. The power of creation is released through your choice, your | willingness to express that aspect of creation. It is quite literally |
T2:4.9 | rejection of your power. What is required to claim your power is the | willingness to move through the conflict of two opposing sets of |
T2:4.10 | the dualistic nature of your thoughts and feelings. A second step is | willingness to move past both ambiguity and conflict to union. |
T2:11.9 | the same. Your devotion to this learning must now be complete, your | willingness total, your way of learning that of a mind and heart |
T3:14.14 | Self of love. It begins with the birth of Christ in you and in your | willingness to live in the world as the Christ-Self. |
T3:16.1 | Willingness to live by the truth is the only offering you are asked | |
T3:16.2 | Saying that | willingness is the only offering that is required of you is the same |
T3:17.8 | for the time of illusion. The return of Christ, or your ability and | willingness to live as your true Self, to live in the House of Truth |
T3:20.15 | the eternal to the eternal. The new way will work wherever it finds | willingness. You cannot call others to abandon their willingness to |
T3:20.15 | it finds willingness. You cannot call others to abandon their | willingness to live in illusion by joining them there! You can only |
T3:20.15 | in illusion by joining them there! You can only call others to a | willingness to set illusion aside and to begin the journey home to |
T3:20.16 | or sister reaches out to you, all you need ask for is a little | willingness. All you need do is open the door through which love can |
T3:20.17 | neither dismayed nor discouraged by those who do not see and have no | willingness to offer. Just know these aren’t the ones given you to |
T3:20.18 | attract others and each will find the price of admission is their | willingness to leave the old behind. This is a price they must freely |
T3:21.23 | him- or herself to find the truth. As has been said many times, | willingness is the starting point and as can be surely understood, |
T4:1.21 | from this state of consciousness and that you have given your | willingness to learn in a new way. The new way is here. If you are |
T4:10.2 | This is hard for you to imagine because as you consider your | willingness to give up learning you will meet resistance and realize, |
T4:12.10 | you have experienced throughout your lifetime and have expressed a | willingness to leave behind. Only you can leave these conditions |
T4:12.34 | and desire. Creation of the new could not begin without you. Your | willingness for the new, a willingness that included the leaving |
T4:12.34 | the new could not begin without you. Your willingness for the new, a | willingness that included the leaving behind of the old, a |
T4:12.34 | new, a willingness that included the leaving behind of the old, a | willingness that included the leaving behind of fear and judgment and |
T4:12.34 | will, was necessary to begin creation of the new. Your former | willingness to accept the old but kept creation’s power harnessed to |
T4:12.36 | that what is asked of us is everything. What is asked is our total | willingness to abandon the old, our total willingness to embrace the |
T4:12.36 | What is asked is our total willingness to abandon the old, our total | willingness to embrace the new. But also make no mistake that what is |
D:2.1 | To accept the new and to deny the old. Acceptance is a | willingness to receive. Obviously, when you consider this definition |
D:2.1 | of acceptance, you will see that this is not the way of the old. | Willingness to receive is quite contrary to the attitudes and actions |
D:2.1 | led your life thus far. You were told within A Course of Love that | willingness was all that was necessary for you to be able to take |
D:2.1 | return you to your true identity. Those of you who found within this | willingness an ability to receive and left behind your effort to |
D:3.13 | awareness of what you know. Acceptance is easily achieved through | willingness. Full awareness in form of what has previously been |
D:4.30 | Your part is to invite it and accept it when it comes. State your | willingness, accept the coming of your release, and prepare to leave |
D:5.22 | to everything that is still to come. Hesitate no longer. Let your | willingness exceed your trepidation. No longer wait to be told more |

C:3.23 | based on how much love you have received and how much love has been | withheld from you. We begin by simply accepting the proof we have |
C:4.8 | toward love or to withdraw from it, to believe it is given or | withheld. |
C:15.1 | would be considered more sacred to some than others, no resources | withheld, no people deemed subservient. |

C:7.1 | receive in truth. What you do not receive is a measure of what you | withhold. Your heart is accustomed to giving in a way that your mind |
C:7.2 | And yet you would | withhold a piece of yourself even from love, and this is what we must |
C:7.2 | even from love, and this is what we must correct. For what you | withhold you cannot receive, and you cannot receive a piece of heaven |
C:7.2 | recognize what you have to give. You do, however, recognize what you | withhold and can begin to recognize this in every situation. As the |
C:7.4 | In order to identify yourself in this world, you have had to | withhold a piece of yourself and say of this piece, “This is what |
C:7.9 | Let us return now to what you would | withhold, and see the effects that this withholding has upon yourself |

C:7.11 | There are but two forms of withholding: what you | withhold of yourself from the world and what you withhold for |
C:7.11 | what you withhold of yourself from the world and what you | withhold for yourself from the world. A grievance is something you |
C:7.11 | to anyone when your day has already treated you so badly? You | withhold even a smile, because you have chosen grievances over love. |
C:7.13 | in every situation you encounter, and what you hold against them you | withhold from them. You have taken a piece of them and hold it |
C:7.14 | There is another way in which you | withhold pieces of relationships for yourself. This withholding is |
C:7.14 | is not of the form of grievances but of the form of specialness. You | withhold in order to make yourself special, always at another’s |
C:7.15 | it from someone else. You have now set yourself up in a position to | withhold your intelligence from others lest they profit from it. You |
C:7.15 | be paid, the homage you claim is due, that without which you will | withhold what you have. And you are thankful for these things with |
C:7.16 | These are examples of what you | withhold from the world for yourself. But what of that which you |
C:7.16 | you withhold from the world for yourself. But what of that which you | withhold from the world of yourself? Both these things are much the |
C:7.16 | nor can they buy you love or the success you seek. What you | withhold from the world you withhold from yourself, for you are not |
C:7.16 | love or the success you seek. What you withhold from the world you | withhold from yourself, for you are not separate from the world. In |
C:8.13 | you see now why unity and wholeness go hand in hand? Why you cannot | withhold a piece of yourself and realize the unity that is your home? |
C:8.13 | that is your home? Were it possible to exist in unity and still | withhold, unity would be a mockery. Who would you withhold for? And |
C:8.13 | in unity and still withhold, unity would be a mockery. Who would you | withhold for? And whom would you withhold from? Unity is wholeness. |
C:8.13 | would be a mockery. Who would you withhold for? And whom would you | withhold from? Unity is wholeness. All for all. |

C:7.2 | begin to recognize this in every situation. As the awareness of your | withholding dawns upon your heart, you will begin to realize what you |
C:7.9 | return now to what you would withhold, and see the effects that this | withholding has upon yourself and the world that seems to hold you |
C:7.9 | This is, indeed, the first and most general lesson in regard to | withholding: The world does not keep you separate. You keep yourself |
C:7.10 | Your | withholding takes on many forms that nonetheless are merely effects |
C:7.11 | There are but two forms of | withholding: what you withhold of yourself from the world and what |
C:7.11 | and righteousness. You are unaware that you choose this form of | withholding, sometimes dozens or even hundreds of times a day. An |
C:7.11 | in your mind, and there you build them into reasons for even further | withholding. Now you have an excuse—or several excuses—for a bad |
C:7.14 | way in which you withhold pieces of relationships for yourself. This | withholding is not of the form of grievances but of the form of |
C:7.15 | You do not see this as | withholding, but what you claim for yourself at another’s expense is |
C:7.15 | but what you claim for yourself at another’s expense is indeed | withholding, and in your world you know not how to claim anything for |
C:7.15 | your world you know not how to claim anything for yourself without | withholding it from someone else. You have now set yourself up in a |
T2:7.2 | the accidents waiting to happen, love that is not returned, the | withholding of things you deem important. This fear that you feel in |
within (736) |

C:I.5 | The mind cannot hold open the doors of the heart and yet we turn | within, turn to the mind, and show it where its openness lies, where |
C:P.14 | others, but to awaken to a new world. If all that you see changed | within your world is a little less insanity than before, then you |
C:P.26 | the family of man. It is called one species, the human species. | Within this family of man are individual families, and among them, |
C:P.26 | members are descended from the same ancestors, the same bloodline. | Within that bloodline are genes that carry particular traits and |
C:P.27 | an offspring, who must exist in some form like unto the Father. | Within the story of the human race there is a story about the coming |
C:P.37 | could get on a bus and be transported there? Yet each of you holds | within you the power to reach heaven. Knowing your Self as who you |
C:1.12 | healed, to create like your Creator. This yearning exists naturally | within you and cannot be diminished or satiated. |
C:1.13 | The goal of this world is for you to stand on your own, complete | within yourself. This goal will never be reached, and only when you |
C:1.13 | it can you begin to learn anything of value. You are complete only | within God, where you endlessly abide. Striving to be that which you |
C:2.15 | the past to show you the way beyond illusions to the present. Look | within to the one in you who knows the way. Christ is within you and |
C:2.15 | present. Look within to the one in you who knows the way. Christ is | within you and you rest within God. I vowed to never leave you and to |
C:2.15 | the one 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 |
C:2.21 | of the outcome of your learning. Your perception of an outcome | within your control is all that needs to change. Remember that cause |
C:3.2 | to learn what they are. They are the same as you. All exist | within you. You are the universe itself. |
C:3.7 | form as it is but only as what it will do for you. You imprison form | within your meaning, and still your meaning is truer than its form. |
C:3.10 | that has been manifested in your world was first conceived | within the mind. While you know this is true, you continue to believe |
C:3.14 | stay. Your heart is now your eyes and ears. Your mind can remain | within your concept of the brain, for we bypass it now and send it no |
C:3.16 | in a new way and in our learning realize that our light shines from | within our heart, our altar to the Lord. Here the Christ in us abides |
C:3.17 | the weak of body and of mind. Our hearts are not so easily contained | within the casing of our flesh and bone. Our hearts take wing with |
C:4.12 | to guide others must be earned through the acquisition of wisdom not | within your reach. |
C:4.15 | not too demanding, a companion and a lover who will be convenient | within a busy life. |
C:4.17 | that do not interest or fulfill you. You accept what you are paid | within certain boundaries you have set; you expect that a certain |
C:4.20 | have made but must have another where you are at home and can abide | within love’s presence. |
C:4.21 | The lucky ones among you have made a place resembling home | within your world. It is where you keep love locked away behind |
C:4.24 | Thus has your perception of love prepared you for what love is. For | within you is the altar for your worship, within you has love’s |
C:4.24 | you for what love is. For within you is the altar for your worship, | within you has love’s holiness been protected, within you abides the |
C:4.24 | for your worship, within you has love’s holiness been protected, | within you abides the Host who loves all dearly. Within you is the |
C:4.24 | been protected, within you abides the Host who loves all dearly. | Within you is the light that will show you what love is and keep it |
C:4.24 | allow a new world to be seen, a world that will allow you to abide | within love’s presence. |
C:4.25 | love has joined the world. For love does join the world, and it is | within this joining that love abides, holy as itself. |
C:4.26 | for everything that goes on outside yourself and nothing that occurs | within. Yet it is a joining that occurs within that brings about the |
C:4.26 | and nothing that occurs within. Yet it is a joining that occurs | within that brings about the joining of all the world for all the |
C:4.26 | of all the world for all the world to see. This joining of the world | within is but your recognition of what love is, safe and secure |
C:4.26 | within is but your recognition of what love is, safe and secure | within you and your brother, as you join together in truth. Think you |
C:4.27 | to the world outside of you, but every relation to the world | within, where in love’s presence both outer and inner worlds become |
C:5.8 | as palaces to your love and no longer see the golden calves hiding | within the palace walls. |
C:5.14 | Within you is all the world safe, sure, and secure. No terror reigns. | |
C:5.14 | the night. Let me give you once again the difference between what is | within and what is without: Within is all that has joined with you. |
C:5.14 | again the difference between what is within and what is without: | Within is all that has joined with you. Without is all that you would |
C:5.14 | has joined with you. Without is all that you would keep separate. | Within you is every relationship you have ever had with anything. |
C:5.16 | your safety found. This comparison is not idly drawn. Your home is | within and it is real, as real as the home you have made within the |
C:5.16 | home is within and it is real, as real as the home you have made | within the world seems to be. You can say the real world is somewhere |
C:5.20 | The first and only exercise for your mind | within this Course has already been stated: Dedicate your thought to |
C:5.22 | is in vain or that a simple solution exists. A simple solution | within your world, a solution that requires no exertion on your part, |
C:5.23 | after it with single-minded determination, believing the only choice | within your control is what to work hard to obtain. If you let all |
C:5.30 | God is known to you | within relationships, as this is all that is real here. God cannot be |
C:6.2 | you from your brother. This is reality. Your mind is not contained | within your body but is one with God and shared equally with all |
C:6.15 | this: you seek to make sense of an insane world, to find meaning | within meaninglessness, purpose among the purposeless. |
C:6.21 | disappointment. All that you have wished for and have not acquired | within your life is the evidence you would use to deny yourself hope |
C:7.1 | ideas do come to fruition and succeed in getting desirable things | within this world. “I had that idea,” you lament when another |
C:7.5 | you have set aside you allow it not to claim. This piece is held | within your heart, and it is this piece with which we now will work. |
C:7.8 | To this Self is this appeal put forth. Let it be heard and held | within your heart. Hold it joyously alongside what already occupies |
C:7.8 | you give you will receive in truth, you will see that what abides | within your heart is all that is worthy of your giving and all you |
C:7.18 | Be it wounded, bleeding, broken or full, it rests in wholeness | within you at the center of who you are. |
C:8.8 | surface, but keeping it not from fulfilling its function or carrying | within itself that which keeps you safe upon this raging sea. |
C:8.9 | Safe | within your heart lies love’s reality, a reality so foreign to you |
C:8.9 | remember it not. Yet it is to this reality we head as we travel deep | within you to the center of your Self. |
C:8.16 | as well, for many of you are thinking still that it is what is | within the body that is real: your brain and heart, your thoughts and |
C:8.16 | the truth, it would be the truth. If your body and what lies | within it are not who you are, you feel as if you are left homeless. |
C:8.16 | your return to your real home, for were you locked up and contained | within your body, and were you to accept this container as your home, |
C:9.3 | protect? Thus, all of your love—the love that you imagine you keep | within yourself, and the love that you imagine you receive and give— |
C:9.20 | not that outward signs of fear are but reflections of what you keep | within. |
C:9.25 | How could you fail to provide the next meal for yourself and those | within your care? You do not see all that these distractions of |
C:9.26 | are yourself, and they are your only means to grasp eternity even | within this false reality you have made. |
C:9.28 | what it is? Have you not seen this kind of distortion take place | within the reality you do see? Is this not the story of the gifted |
C:9.30 | of an imaginary friend, the child announces that his body is not | within his control. What is your ego but an imaginary friend to you? |
C:9.44 | only these, rather than being reflected by the group, are reflected | within the individual. The individual with issues of abuse would do a |
C:9.49 | of the world must change, and the stimulus for this change lies | within you. All use ends with joining, for use is what you have |
C:10.14 | in the body. To believe you are not your body while you walk around | within it is something quite different than believing in God. Here |
C:10.18 | you do not like, again offer your willingness to find some happiness | within it. These instructions to your heart will begin to make a |
C:10.31 | your body did not seem to be a boundary that kept you contained | within its limitations. Then you will remember that this is but a |
C:10.32 | at your heart in the most gentle of ways. Its whisper will be heard | within your thoughts. Its melody will play within your mind. “Come |
C:10.32 | Its whisper will be heard within your thoughts. Its melody will play | within your mind. “Come back, come back,” it will say to you. “Come |
C:10.32 | “Come home, come home,” it will sing. You will know there is a place | within yourself where you are missed and longed for and safe and |
C:11.1 | The exercises in this Course of Love are few, and they are contained | within the Course itself rather than separated from it. There are but |
C:11.3 | failing one more time. Even those who feel the power of these words | within their hearts and vow to go slowly and carefully through each |
C:11.4 | understanding as long as you remain willing for the ideas to dwell | within you, and you do not try to shut them out. Realize that the |
C:12.9 | Your Self rests totally unchanged | within the Christ in you. Re-establishing your relationship with your |
C:12.12 | from a form different than that which you inhabit now; but certainly | within the laws of evolution, you have changed as little as the birds |
C:12.13 | and gone and left this void forever more unfilled? A gaping hole | within the universe itself? |
C:12.16 | than the Son, and accepted the Holy Spirit as something largely not | within your understanding, only exemplifies the nature of the error |
C:12.16 | we continue, realizing that these words can express the truth only | within their ability as symbols, and that farther than where these |
C:12.16 | that farther than where these symbols can take you, the truth lies | within your Self. |
C:12.17 | you could never keep track of them all, and yet they still exist | within you and do not splinter off and become something on their own |
C:12.19 | change would be the shape of his life, the things that would happen | within it, perhaps the places in which it would occur or the people |
C:12.24 | into an external world is quite real, it is all that is truly real | within it. The son could not create unlike the Father who created |
C:13.7 | do is to become aware of spirit and to allow this awareness to abide | within you. If you feel resistance to attempting this exercise, |
C:13.12 | any hurts on you or anyone else. No reason for guilt will exist | within this memory. No shame or fear is here, and no grievances of |
C:14.1 | your united purpose must change to that of remembering who you are | within God’s creation, rather than in the world that you have made. |
C:14.2 | an enemy of creation? Do you feel part of it and at one with all | within it? If not, you have made yourself creation’s enemy. You seek |
C:14.11 | relationship’s configuration, it was one that truly brought you joy. | Within it you were happy and felt as if you needed nothing more than |
C:14.16 | lost to the world? You are alone and irreplaceable: one of a kind. | Within you lie all that you would hope to contribute and create. |
C:14.16 | Within you lie all that you would hope to contribute and create. | Within the actions and interactions of your lifetime lie all the |
C:14.17 | of it, and so it must be unique. Everything that would happen | within the universe would depend upon it. |
C:14.18 | You think that you are quite aware of your small space | within the universe, and that it is foolishness to say that you think |
C:14.19 | to claim it for your own lest it get away! It too must be maintained | within your universe, or you will know it not and its benefits will |
C:14.24 | is what you have ascribed it to be. The purpose you give each thing | within your world is what makes it what it is to you. And as each |
C:15.2 | What harm is there in specialness? Only all the harm you see | within the world. |
C:15.4 | in the wider world you think you are anonymous and so are they. If | within the small sphere of those they love they cannot be made to |
C:15.5 | And so | within this small sphere you do what is necessary to maintain your |
C:15.5 | is necessary to maintain your specialness and that of the others | within it. Depending on your culture what is necessary may mean few |
C:15.5 | look, lifestyle, or attitude, you might risk being seen as special | within this group, and your choices might affect your ability to make |
C:15.6 | How many rest | within this sphere of influence? Twenty, fifty, one hundred? And how |
C:16.1 | way you think it is. Love has but one source! That this source lies | within each of you does not make it many sources, for the many of you |
C:17.1 | of the universe. Without the real you in it, there would be a void | within the universe—and this would be impossible. And yet there is |
C:17.3 | yet you know you cannot claim that you are aware of all that exists | within the universe, or even that you fully know your own Self. What |
C:17.18 | united function we have established—returning to you your identity | within God’s creation. |
C:18.13 | of the idea of learning from unity in order for it to come from | within and leave not its source. An idea of mine can only become an |
C:19.3 | been taken from you, nor has the power of creation abandoned you. | Within creation’s own laws does the solution rest. |
C:19.14 | and why they conclude that God is unknowable. God is knowable from | within the mystery of non-duality itself. It would be impossible for |
C:20.8 | longer looking out but looking in. All landscapes and horizons form | within the embrace. All beauty resides there. All light is fused and |
C:20.8 | embrace. All beauty resides there. All light is fused and infused | within the embrace. Within the embrace our sight clears and what we |
C:20.8 | resides there. All light is fused and infused within the embrace. | Within the embrace our sight clears and what we see is known rather |
C:20.12 | indivisible and curved inward upon each other. Love grows from | within as a child grows within its mother’s womb. Inward, inward, |
C:20.12 | inward upon each other. Love grows from within as a child grows | within its mother’s womb. Inward, inward, into the embrace, the |
C:20.14 | Christ reigns in the kingdom in which I live just as Christ reigned | within me on earth. In the cave on this earth where my dead body was |
C:20.15 | None are dead. All share the heartbeat of the world and are at rest | within each other, within each other’s embrace and the embrace of |
C:20.15 | share the heartbeat of the world and are at rest within each other, | within each other’s embrace and the embrace of God’s love, God’s |
C:20.16 | for the feeling of abandonment so many of you have felt. You are now | within the embrace where all such hurts are healed. |
C:20.17 | as good. It is but the place of your interaction with all that lives | within you, sharing the one heartbeat. The heartbeat of the world |
C:20.18 | Who could be left out of the embrace? And who from | within the embrace could be separate and alone? |
C:20.21 | it can be simple, as simple as realizing the oneness of the embrace. | Within the embrace you can let all thought go. Within the embrace, |
C:20.21 | of the embrace. Within the embrace you can let all thought go. | Within the embrace, you can quit thinking even of holy things, holy |
C:20.21 | ocean and her surf, all live by the universal heartbeat and exist | within the embrace. Is not all you can imagine holy when you imagine |
C:20.22 | Sanctity is all that exists | within the embrace. How could you be less than sacred? You exist in |
C:20.25 | all that you are. You are the beauty of the world and peace abides | within you. |
C:20.29 | as acts of cooperation. Holiness cannot be contained, and it is not | within your power to limit it. To feel the holiness of the embrace is |
C:20.35 | any relation to the whole. Knowing what you do comes from existing | within the embrace. You know you do the will of God because you are |
C:20.36 | condition of the initiate, new to the realization of having a home | within the embrace. It is the response that says to all you have just |
C:20.47 | among the reasons for your belief in your inability to effect change | within your own life and certainly within the greater life of the |
C:20.47 | your inability to effect change within your own life and certainly | within the greater life of the universe. You must understand that |
C:20.47 | and are things your mind has been trained to see as being | within its scope. It is as if you have cordoned off a little section |
C:20.48 | heart has a different scope, a different view. It is the view from | within the embrace, the view from love’s angle. It is the view of the |
C:21.8 | thing to do but acting instead on what is the accepted thing to do | within his or her community. In such an instance the external and |
C:22.9 | it is the passing through that creates the intersection. Everything | within your world and your day must pass through you in order to gain |
C:22.9 | when thinking of this, use the words I have provided: everything | within your world. In the act of pass-through you assign meaning to |
C:22.9 | world. In the act of pass-through you assign meaning to everything | within your world. The meaning you assign becomes the reality of the |
C:22.10 | Further, it is the part of you through which everything | within your world passes and your awareness of it that determines the |
C:22.10 | like unto the layers of the onion than the globe, with everything | within your world needing to pass through layers with a seeming lack |
C:22.16 | brought to such a halt and examined apart from everything else | within your world. Anyone wanting to learn anything about you would |
C:22.16 | to learn anything about you would be wiser to observe you as you are | within your world. Would you still be the same person in a |
C:22.17 | away. This is the scenario that separates you from everything else | within your world. Everything has meaning only according to what it |
C:22.19 | of how you tell a story or report on events that have taken place | within your life. You personalize. You are likely to report on what a |
C:22.23 | allow you to see your “self” as an integral part of all that exists | within your world rather than as the small and insignificant personal |
C:23.24 | by experiences of duality. While you hold conflicting beliefs | within you, you will be conflicted and affected by polarity. |
C:23.24 | to purge old beliefs so that only one set of beliefs is operative | within you. This is the only route to the certainty you seek, and |
C:25.5 | than the perceived. Each time you feel a lack of love, it comes from | within yourself. This lack of love, or “faked” love of which you |
C:25.7 | which you can purify your engagement with life and all you encounter | within it. Devotion is synonymous with true service. True service |
C:25.13 | While you believe feelings of lack of love come from anywhere but | within, you will not be invulnerable. |
C:25.15 | pure joining is its objective. The first joining comes from | within and it is putting into practice the lessons of joining mind |
C:26.7 | To have no meaning to attach to your life is the tragedy you see | within it and attempt to keep hidden from yourself. This fear goes |
C:26.18 | This is the invitation to greet your Self and to find your Self | within this day. |
C:26.22 | be the same as saying that there was no idea brought to completion | within the pages or on the film. In God’s idea of you is all that is |
C:26.22 | idea. In God’s idea of you is the pattern of the universe, much as | within a novel, movie, piece of music, invention or artistic idea is |
C:27.15 | of what those situations entail. It is rather the you in and | within the relationship that responds out of the knowledge gained |
C:27.19 | simple knowing of a way things are meant to be. It is a knowing felt | within the heart for which there still will be no proof, but for |
C:27.19 | The typical fears you have experienced in the past will not arise | within this knowing. |
C:28.11 | to action, of some necessary form to be given to what you carry | within. |
C:29.8 | gain, it is not. A return to unity is a return to unity. From | within the center, the core of unity, your accomplishment goes out to |
C:29.16 | thus: Life exists in relationship. Relationship is the interaction | within which service occurs. The replacement of the idea of service |
C:30.12 | The laws of God are laws of Love. | Within the laws of love there is no loss, but only gain. |
C:31.23 | you have with everything is revealed in truth. This truth lies | within everything that exists, as it lies within you. As you learn |
C:31.23 | in truth. This truth lies within everything that exists, as it lies | within you. As you learn that who you are is love, no deception is |
C:31.26 | experience to truth, and thus to your mind. Only the truth abides | within your mind, for only it can enter the holy altar you share with |
C:31.29 | If you can look for your Self | within your brothers and sisters, however, they must also be able to |
T1:1.3 | seek no more. All that you are in need of knowing has been provided | within A Course of Love. That your learning does not feel complete is |
T1:2.2 | We identified much for you to leave behind | within the pages of A Course of Love. These many things which seemed |
T1:2.5 | cause of this freedom being accomplished in you. What was spoken of | within A Course of Love as unlearning has begun and continues here. |
T1:2.5 | Love as unlearning has begun and continues here. What was spoken of | within A Course of Love as new learning has begun and continues here |
T1:2.11 | seem indicated. All of these implications have been touched upon | within A Course of Love. The most essential of these implications is |
T1:3.10 | As was said | within A Course of Love, willingness does not require conviction but |
T1:3.14 | your fear is mightier than your willingness. But hold this thought | within your mind. What is needed to convince you will be provided. |
T1:4.9 | to give and is all you are asked to give. This response comes from | within the Self—the rightly identified and acknowledged Self. |
T1:4.12 | You may answer that there are many, even | within this Course’s definition of gift, the most obvious of which |
T1:4.13 | response, a necessary response, an obligation. Response happens from | within. Responsibility is all about dealing with an outside world. |
T1:4.26 | As was said | within A Course of Love, all fear is doubt about your self. Now we |
T1:5.3 | When it was said | within A Course of Love that the great paradox of creation is that, |
T1:5.3 | is that, while creation is perfect, something has gone wrong | within it, this fear in relation to the human experience is of what |
T1:5.3 | of what it was I spoke. The choice for suffering that has been made | within the human condition is what I speak of specifically here. |
T1:5.4 | How can you not be fearful of creation when such suffering occurs | within it? But there is another aspect that relates to the fear of |
T1:5.4 | that relates to the fear of union we spent much time discussing | within A Course of Love. It is a fear of the human mind that cannot |
T1:5.7 | to be capable of offering resistance. Your search for “something” | within the in-between, if it leads not beyond the in-between, but |
T1:5.9 | existence that is real. Your heart as we have defined it many times | within this Course, must exist in the thought system that is real to |
T1:5.9 | not present in the realm of the truly real, but is actually present | within the illusion. This is why all seeking must turn within, toward |
T1:5.9 | present within the illusion. This is why all seeking must turn | within, toward the heart where the real Self abides. There is nothing |
T1:6.2 | state of “all” from the unreal state of the in-between. Only from | within a state that is real can anything happen in truth. |
T1:7.2 | part of being human that calls for acceptance. They thus find peace | within suffering rather than abolishing suffering. This acceptance is |
T1:8.11 | not as myth and reality have no concrete distinction in the illusion | within which you live. In other words you live as much by myth as by |
T1:9.4 | manifestations, but reflects inner change. The growth of a new being | within the womb of another is a visible manifestation of gestation, |
T1:9.4 | and father, what would have died without the joining that occurred | within, becomes new life. |
T1:9.8 | for you this receiving or communion. Only through the Christ | within you does this giving and receiving become one in truth. |
T1:9.9 | into a new form, you would also; that this new form would exist | within you; that you would become the Body of Christ and giving and |
T1:9.12 | to serve you through the intercession of the Holy Spirit. In turning | within rather than without to find what you need to free you from the |
T1:9.12 | In the same way that embracing both the male and female attributes | within you causes a merging of both and a wholeness to be achieved, |
T1:10.6 | They have cracked open hearts and minds to the divine presence | within. You have chosen them for just this reason. But you can now be |
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 no other God. 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 |
T1:10.11 | follow occasions of happiness or trauma, but they do not happen | within them. Peak experiences are what you can look forward to rather |
T2:1.1 | are all aware, at least at times, that there are treasures that lie | within you. What was once regarded as treasure, such as a talent that |
T2:1.4 | when realized, might feed the ego. Despite many observations | within this Course regarding desire, you may still fear your desire. |
T2:1.7 | to maintain your peace. There is another choice, and it lies | within. |
T2:1.8 | The treasure that lies | within that you do not yet fully recognize is that of unity. As you |
T2:1.8 | fully recognize is that of unity. As you have learned much of unity | within the context of this Course, unity, like rest, may have come to |
T2:2.1 | What is it in you that recognizes talents that lie fully realized | within? The practical mind is not the source of such imagination. The |
T2:3.1 | of creation. It was created. All of it. It exists, fully realized | within you. Your work here is to express it. You are far more than |
T2:3.2 | for expression. Life is the desire to express outwardly what exists | within. What I refer to so often here as being within, as if “within” |
T2:3.2 | outwardly what exists within. What I refer to so often here as being | within, as if “within” is a place in which something resides, is |
T2:3.4 | something real and learning something that is of relevance even | within the daily life you currently move through. Now you must fully |
T2:3.7 | to explain. If the ability to create beautiful music already exists | within you, you do not have to learn what beautiful music is, only |
T2:3.7 | what beautiful music is, only how to express it. If you see beauty | within, you do not have to learn what beauty is, only how to express |
T2:3.7 | quite literally true that the seeds of much of creation lie dormant | within you, already accomplished but awaiting expression in this |
T2:3.8 | identity in the broadest sense imaginable. Christ is your identity | within the unity that is creation. |
T2:4.3 | of Love work hand-in-hand because the change of thinking taught | within A Course in Miracles was a change of thinking about yourself. |
T2:4.3 | order to reveal to you who you truly are. While you continue to act | within the world as who you think you are rather than as who you are, |
T2:4.4 | is attempting to show you how to live as who you are, how to act | within the world as the new Self you have identified. Just like |
T2:4.5 | in to who you think you are could be likened to trying to move | within water as you would on land. Why, when moving freely through |
T2:4.7 | This applies directly to your reaction to all that occurs | within your life. Let us look now at your reaction to the idea put |
T2:4.12 | peace to go in search of calling but are rather asked to listen from | within that peace to what you feel called to do. This is not about |
T2:4.18 | cannot be measured because of its simultaneous nature. As was said | within A Course of Love, time is but a measurement of the “time” it |
T2:5.1 | to action. We have talked heretofore about a calling you feel from | within, as if you are listening to a new voice that would reveal your |
T2:5.5 | to come in the form of demands are often calls that come to you from | within the teaching and learning ground of relationships. You may be |
T2:5.7 | with who you are. These lessons will bring who you are into focus | within your mind through the vehicle of your heart. |
T2:6.1 | is your heart. It is what alerts you to the treasures that lie | within. There is no time in the place we are calling within and your |
T2:6.1 | that lie within. There is no time in the place we are calling | within and your heart knows not of time even while it adheres to the |
T2:6.5 | You believe that your treasures only become accomplished abilities | within time. You believe that your treasures only become part of your |
T2:6.8 | that needs adjustment now. As a tree exists fully accomplished | within its seed and yet grows and changes, you exist fully |
T2:6.8 | its seed and yet grows and changes, you exist fully accomplished | within the seed that is the Christ in you even while you continue to |
T2:6.8 | and action of all kinds are but expressions of what already exist | within the seed of the already accomplished. |
T2:6.10 | unity in the present, in the here and now, so that you exist—even | within form—as the only Son of God, the Christ, the word made |
T2:7.4 | idea of “relationship” that has been so often defined and repeated | within this Course. In order to believe in giving and receiving as |
T2:7.10 | of the desire for change. Certainly there will continue to be things | within your life that are in need of change. As was stated in the |
T2:7.10 | You will want to move into the world and be an active force | within it. These are aims consistent with the teachings of this |
T2:7.13 | You cannot effect change without, without having effected change | within. You cannot be independent and still be of service. For as |
T2:7.19 | that you bring the thoughts and feelings that arise to the place | within your heart that has been prepared for them. You do not deny |
T2:8.2 | As was said | within A Course of Love, the one you come to know through |
T2:8.2 | on which you now stand. All that prevents you from being who you are | within these relationships must be let go. All that will complement |
T2:8.6 | It was said often | within A Course of Love that the truth does not change. Thus the |
T2:8.6 | you be away from home for home is who you are, a “place” you carry | within you, a place that is you. This is the home of unity. |
T2:9.10 | your needs makes the difference in your connection or separation | within relationship. The extent to which you are willing to abdicate |
T2:9.13 | So how do you remain | within the constant creative flux or flow of creation without either |
T2:10.1 | static state is not a living state because creation is not occurring | within it. This is a living Course. This is why you are called to |
T2:10.3 | a hand swats away a fly. You know that the information is contained | within you and yet you are often forced to accept an inability to |
T2:10.14 | that allows you to move through each day and all the experiences | within it as who you are in truth. It releases you from the feeling |
T2:11.1 | The Christ in you is relationship. As you were told | within the pages of A Course of Love, you are a being who exists in |
T2:11.15 | ego is real, you will feel as if there are two identities that exist | within you and you will see yourself as doing battle in countless |
T2:11.15 | of conflict is the source of all conflict that seems real to you | within your world. This battle of good and evil, while you believe in |
T2:11.17 | is indeed a miracle and the very miracle you have been prepared for | within this course of learning. |
T2:12.8 | If callings come to alert you to the treasure | within, how can it be that you, as a miracle-minded being, are not |
T2:12.9 | is the relationship and the miracle waiting to happen. As we spoke | within A Course of Love of relationship being not one thing or |
T2:12.9 | you is the real you, then this all-encompassing relationship, both | within you and without you, both you and all you are in relationship |
T2:12.10 | The gardener knows that although the plant exists fully realized | within its seed, it also needs the relationship of earth and water, |
T2:12.11 | of struggle. The ego would hang on to what is already accomplished | within you, never to let it express, through relationship, all that |
T2:12.12 | then, of the all-encompassing holy relationship that exists | within you and without you, both in all you are and all you are in |
T2:12.14 | Recognize now that unity is | within you and without you, in all you are and all you are in |
T2:13.2 | ready, it is time for us to have a personal relationship. We have, | within these lessons, taken you far from your personal self, and I, |
T3:1.11 | yourself to be could be two completely different selves. Even | within the illusion in which you existed there was a self kept hidden. |
T3:2.3 | only means you saw of deciphering the world around you and your role | within it. Separation, aloneness, independence, individuality—these |
T3:2.4 | While much time was spent | within this Course, discussing the choice you but think you made, |
T3:2.5 | shaped your dualistic view of the world and all that exists with you | within it. For every “glory,” gift, or success you have achieved you |
T3:2.5 | from the truth and is the cause of all your suffering, for contained | within this belief was the belief that with each successful step |
T3:2.11 | This memory lies | within your heart and has the ability to turn the image you have made |
T3:2.11 | This thought system has allowed only the acceptance of a reality | within certain parameters, for it has not allowed you to imagine |
T3:6.3 | the many details that seem to make it possible for you to live | within your world. The idea of reward transfers to ideas related to |
T3:6.3 | given in another, is the cause of much of the bitterness that exists | within your hearts. |
T3:6.4 | self and a learned self, there has always been just enough room | within the ego’s thought system to keep within you the idea of a self |
T3:6.4 | always been just enough room within the ego’s thought system to keep | within you the idea of a self the ego is not. Thus has the ego had a |
T3:6.4 | as time itself and the cause of bitterness being able to exist, even | within your hearts. |
T3:7.3 | and thus your inaccurate ideas about yourself have their cause | within you, as does your ability to change this cause and its effects. |
T3:7.4 | You are who you are and remain endlessly who you are, even here | within the human experience. This is the idea that is beyond compare |
T3:7.4 | is the only idea that holds true meaning and so all meaning is found | within it. Thus we start with this idea. |
T3:7.5 | The only thing | within the human experience that made you incapable of representing |
T3:7.5 | of representing who you are in truth was the ego. The only thing | within the human experience that deprived the human experience of |
T3:7.6 | You have formerly been capable of representing who you are only | within illusion for this was the abode in which you resided. Illusion |
T3:7.6 | of representing your true Self. This representation of the true Self | within the house of illusion was like an explosion happening there. |
T3:7.6 | floorboards shook, the walls quaked, the lights dimmed. All those | within the house became aware of something happening there. All |
T3:7.8 | Thus has been the best of what you call life | within the illusion. |
T3:7.9 | is a reason for this. The reason is that the Source cannot be found | within the house of illusion. The Source can only be found from |
T3:7.9 | within the house of illusion. The Source can only be found from | within the House of Truth. |
T3:7.10 | The home of truth is | within you and we have just unlocked its doors. |
T3:8.2 | If the Source of Truth is | within you, then it is your own revelation toward which we work. |
T3:8.3 | blocks for its thought system. As long as you carry this bitterness | within you, you will remain in the house of illusion for your |
T3:8.3 | that keeps you from the truth as surely as would iron bars keep you | within its rooms. |
T3:8.6 | well as the choice to leave suffering behind, has always been found | within? Who then are you to be angry with for all that has occurred? |
T3:8.7 | in A Course of Love, the idea of suffering is what has gone so wrong | within God’s creation. As was said in “A Treatise on the Art of |
T3:8.9 | As the representations of the true Self | within the house of illusion caused explosions and a fallout of |
T3:8.9 | and a fallout of treasure, the representation of the true Self | within the House of Truth will cause the creation of the new. |
T3:8.11 | Within the fallout of treasure, what was looked for was found. If | |
T3:9.1 | from love is real. It is an idea that says only that which fits | within the laws of love is reality. It is an idea that says all that |
T3:9.1 | not exist. It is an idea that says that if you live from love and | within love’s laws you will create only love. It is an idea that |
T3:9.3 | are joined in unity and exist in relationship. All of the ideas | within the house of illusion were contained within it and held |
T3:9.3 | All of the ideas within the house of illusion were contained | within it and held together by the learned ideas of the ego thought |
T3:9.3 | will be tempted, at first, to see things that are like unto those | within the house of illusion and call them what you called them once |
T3:9.4 | You will see that the house of illusion was just a structure built | within the universe of truth and that the universe of truth contains |
T3:9.4 | universe of truth and that the universe of truth contains everything | within its benevolent embrace. No one stands beyond the embrace of |
T3:9.4 | embrace of love and you will be glad to see that those who remain | within the house of illusion could not escape love’s presence. |
T3:9.5 | its doors. You will be able to take note of the explosions happening | within and will want to return to add your own to those going on |
T3:9.5 | the walls will finally come tumbling down and those inside be held | within illusion no more. This was the work of many who came before |
T3:9.5 | shake the walls of illusion. Few stand beyond it to beckon to those | within. |
T3:10.1 | the truth, you must realize that while meaninglessness exists | within your mind, you will be working still to replace it with |
T3:10.2 | is offered as an exercise in forgetting. As often as is possible | within your daily life, I ask you to forget as much of what you have |
T3:10.8 | voice of the ego. While the ego is gone, many of its messages remain | within your thoughts, like echoes of a former time. These thoughts |
T3:10.13 | forgotten. However, if you were to return to a dwelling where those | within it spoke only Spanish, soon your knowledge of Spanish would |
T3:10.15 | because they will realize that the memory of this language exists | within them as well. It will come naturally to you to welcome these |
T3:10.16 | still exists, you will continue to encounter those who exist | within it. While you continue to encounter those who exist in the |
T3:11.1 | been seen as a statement of awareness of the self. Those existing | within the house of illusion are aware of the self but are unaware |
T3:11.2 | Those existing | within the House of Truth also feel an awareness of Self. Without |
T3:11.6 | 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 and the Love |
T3:11.6 | of God. I was aware of the Love of God and the Love of God lived | within me. |
T3:11.7 | 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 | called to do: Be aware that the love of God lives within you. Live | within the Peace of God. Live by the truth. |
T3:11.9 | the Kingdom of God or the House of Truth exists, but how to live | within it. The question of how to live within it is best addressed by |
T3:11.9 | Truth exists, but how to live within it. The question of how to live | within it is best addressed by concentrating on living according to |
T3:11.12 | All exist in the House of Truth. The house of illusion exists | within the House of Truth because it is where your brothers and |
T3:11.12 | heaven. Choice and the awareness of the power of choice that exists | within is all that differentiates one from the other. |
T3:11.13 | You must not see your brothers and sisters | within the house of illusion but must see them where they truly are— |
T3:11.13 | the house of illusion but must see them where they truly are— | within the House of Truth. As soon as you would “see” the house of |
T3:11.15 | to produce a new outcome. Do not be afraid to use anything available | within the house of illusion to promote the recognition of truth. Do |
T3:12.2 | You exist | within the time of consciousness of the personal self. Thus we begin |
T3:12.2 | The steps that came before that of the personal self did not come | within time. The creation of time was simultaneous with the creation |
T3:12.7 | to dream of is a state in which only God’s laws of love exist even | within the realm of physicality. What this means is that all that in |
T3:12.10 | of creation than a physical self able to choose to express the Self | within the laws of love? A physical self, able to express itself from |
T3:12.10 | the laws of love? A physical self, able to express itself from | within the House of Truth in ways consistent with peace and love is |
T3:12.11 | While this would seem to say that mistakes may occur | within creation, remember that creation is about change and growth. |
T3:12.11 | that creation is about change and growth. There is no right or wrong | within creation but there are stages of growth and change. Humankind |
T3:13.2 | feel a connection to God during such times, you will not be dwelling | within the peace of God. Your Self and God will be but memories to |
T3:13.14 | physical self represents, in form, the thought or image produced | within the Self. Ideas, in the context in which we are speaking of |
T3:14.1 | from the new thought system. The new thought system will still exist | within your mind and heart, as nothing can now take this memory from |
T3:14.1 | not bring about the changes you would so desire to have come about | within your physical experience. You may live a more peaceful and |
T3:14.2 | accept your current status and begin to feel more peace and joy | within it. If you are not well, you may cope more easily with your |
T3:14.6 | eyes of love, you will be much more likely to see love everywhere | within the life you currently live than to see the need to change |
T3:15.1 | form of new beginning has taken place or been offered. Often, those | within the relationship of marriage have had occasion to choose to |
T3:15.2 | What hampers new beginnings of all kinds | within the human experience are ideas that things cannot be different |
T3:15.3 | certain behavior—and expectations of continued special treatment | within the relationship. Even, and sometimes especially, what is |
T3:15.3 | behavior can come to be an expectation difficult to deviate from | within the special relationship. But whether the expectation is of |
T3:15.10 | is with the Self, the Self that abides in unity with all | within the House of Truth. This relationship makes the Self one with |
T3:15.11 | have said here that love, peace, and truth are interchangeable ideas | within the new thought system. Thus, truth, like love, is not |
T3:15.11 | News is that you have no need to learn the truth. The truth exists | within you and you are now aware of its reality. |
T3:15.12 | How then, do you access and live | within this new reality, this new beginning? Through living by the |
T3:15.15 | and receiving are one in truth. There is no loss but only gain | within the laws of love. Special relationships have been replaced by |
T3:16.4 | before, I am also confident in saying that a hope has been instilled | within you, a hope for the very changes that you feel you need in |
T3:16.4 | for the very changes that you feel you need in order to reflect, | within your daily life, the new Self you have become. |
T3:16.5 | We spoke once before | within A Course of Love of your impatience and of this Course acting |
T3:16.6 | awaiting replacement by what will be, is a change that must occur | within. As has already been said, this change has to do with the |
T3:16.11 | There is no loss but only gain | within the laws of love. |
T3:16.12 | By saying that there is no loss but only gain | within the laws of love, you are being told to have no fear. Fear of |
T3:16.12 | resistance at all but the idea that there is no loss but only gain | within the laws of love. |
T3:16.15 | is the idea of the holy relationship in which all exist in unity and | within the protection of love’s embrace. If you but live by the idea |
T3:16.15 | 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 |
T3:17.1 | was simply so that expressions of love could be created and observed | within the realm of physicality. |
T3:17.4 | to occur. A new experience was chosen—the experience of existing | within the realm of physicality. As such, it was as much a new |
T3:17.5 | the desired experience to learn the lessons of what was observable | within the physical realm, to have begun to forget the unobservable |
T3:17.7 | names have represented the truth and in so doing dispelled illusion | within themselves and those who followed their teachings and example. |
T3:17.7 | those who followed their teachings and example. This has occurred | within the time of the Holy Spirit. |
T3:17.8 | and the thought system of the ego-self and been able to communicate | within that illusion. Without this means of communication with the |
T3:18.10 | health, abundance, peace, and happiness. You can observe this | within yourself because it exists within your Self. What exists |
T3:18.10 | happiness. You can observe this within yourself because it exists | within your Self. What exists within you is shared by all. This is |
T3:18.10 | this within yourself because it exists within your Self. What exists | within you is shared by all. This is the relationship of the truth |
T3:19.1 | You must not fear the changes that will occur | within your physical form as it begins to be guided by the thought |
T3:19.10 | The true source of these temptations has been revealed to lie | within the faulty beliefs to which the body merely responded. The |
T3:19.12 | These lessons could not be taught while blame remained | within your thought system. No victim is to blame for the violence |
T3:19.12 | violence done to them. No sick person is to blame for the illness | within them. But you must be able to look at and see reality for what |
T3:19.15 | will be tempted to return to the house of illusion to gather those | within and bid them join you in the reality of the truth. But in this |
T3:20.2 | there was no sense to be made of concepts such as more or less | within illusion, and although more or less are concepts also foreign |
T3:20.8 | first to respond to such situations in a new way, but all situations | within the house of illusion call for the same response, the response |
T3:20.12 | longer return to the house of illusion, not even to cause explosions | within it. You have stepped out of this house and are called not to |
T3:20.14 | you from your peace, you must remind yourself that it is only from | within the Peace of God that your wholeheartedness and our unity is |
T3:20.15 | to return to the ways of old. They do not work! To minister to those | within the house of illusion is to offer the temporary to the |
T3:20.16 | the language of your mind that will be responded to. It is the love | within your heart that will sound the call. And when it is heard, and |
T3:21.13 | beliefs are subject to change, hold yourself to behaviors that fall | within the parameters of your belief system. You think of these |
T3:21.15 | you live in and the “type” of person you feel you have chosen to be | within that world. Whether you have given thought to the |
T3:21.15 | that of all other human beings. And what’s more, your experiences | within that world are also different than the experiences of all |
T3:22.1 | you, for surely your life must change. The very precepts put forth | within this Course, precepts that say that the internal affects the |
T3:22.4 | of who you are, the seeds of who you are, are planted there, right | within the self you have always been. There has always been within |
T3:22.4 | right within the self you have always been. There has always been | within you, however, a creative tension between accepting who you are |
T3:22.9 | that will give an outlet for the excitement that has been building | within you. You are ready to be done with the concerns of the |
T3:22.16 | with the vision of creation, creating the personal self anew, seeing | within it all that will serve the new, and only what will serve the |
T4:1.1 | and that others do not. It will continue the view from | within the embrace, an embrace and a view that is inclusive of all. |
T4:1.12 | As was said | within “A Treatise on the Personal Self,” even the house of illusion |
T4:1.12 | Treatise on the Personal Self,” even the house of illusion is held | within the embrace of love, of God, of the truth. Does this sound |
T4:1.14 | different about this time, the capabilities of those existing | within it. It must be your science or technology, your advanced |
T4:1.15 | create the new world is an understanding of creation and your role | within it, both as Creators and Created. |
T4:1.16 | As was said | within “A Treatise on the Personal Self,” all notions of blame must |
T4:1.16 | exists in the present. This is the same as saying the truth exists | within you. It is in this way that time is not real and will no |
T4:1.23 | While the state of the world and the people | within it may not outwardly seem much changed from the world of your |
T4:1.24 | to maturity have been born into the time of Christ, and do not fit | within the time or the consciousness of the Holy Spirit. |
T4:1.25 | numbing activities in order to block it out, having chosen to die | within the state of consciousness in which they have lived. Others do |
T4:2.2 | my statements: where once you turned outward in your seeking and saw | within what you perceived without, now you turn inward and reflect |
T4:2.2 | perceived without, now you turn inward and reflect what you discover | within outward. What you discover within is in a way that what you |
T4:2.2 | and reflect what you discover within outward. What you discover | within is in a way that what you perceive without is not. |
T4:2.7 | aware of their true nature does not mean that it does not exist | within them. You are no more accomplished than anyone has been or is |
T4:2.16 | the power of cause and its effect. This is the power you now have | within you, the power to observe the truth rather than illusion. This |
T4:2.21 | day is a creation and holy too. Not one day is meant to be lived | within a struggle with what it brings. The power to observe what is |
T4:2.23 | evident in the pattern of your thinking. We have spoken of this | within the text of A Course of Love as your inability to realize the |
T4:2.25 | to grow in you, you will learn the lessons that are being spoken of | within this Treatise. |
T4:2.27 | Let this idea gestate a moment | within you and reveal to you the truth of which it speaks. The |
T4:3.5 | continually reacting to fear. While the original intent remained | within you and caused you to attempt to express a Self of love |
T4:3.7 | not know God. You could not know God because you judged God from | within the nature of fear, believing it to be your natural state. |
T4:3.10 | will allow you to see the nature of the world and all that exists | within it truly. Observation will allow you to elevate the personal |
T4:3.10 | will allow you to elevate the personal self to its rightful place | within the nature of a world of love. |
T4:4.1 | Everywhere | within your world you see the pattern of life-everlasting. Where |
T4:4.2 | decline. This is the pattern of creation taken to extremes. Inherent | within the extreme is the balance. Even in the biblical description |
T4:4.2 | balanced with rest is the pattern that has been taken to extremes | within your world. You think of birth as creation and death as rest. |
T4:4.5 | idea, an idea with much more power than in current times. Inherent | within the idea of inheritance was an idea of passing as well as an |
T4:4.7 | an idea consistent with that of creation. There is no discontinuity | within creation. Like begets like. Life begets life. Thus is revealed |
T4:4.9 | of as the time of fullness. It is the time during which you have | within your awareness the ability to come into your time of fullness |
T4:5.2 | again be in harmony with creation. So that you can express yourself | within the relationship of unity that is the whole of the choir and |
T4:5.4 | is known as God. Since you are clearly alive, this Energy exists | within you as it exists in all else that lives. It is one Energy |
T4:5.5 | spark of the energy that has created a living universe existing | within you and uniting you to all that has been created. You are the |
T4:5.5 | in you. This energy is the form and content of the embrace. It is | within you and It surrounds and It encompasses you. It is you and all |
T4:5.5 | unto what the water of the ocean is to the living matter that exists | within it. The living matter that exists within the ocean has no need |
T4:5.5 | living matter that exists within it. The living matter that exists | within the ocean has no need to search for God. It lives in God. So |
T4:7.3 | who consider themselves pragmatists, will hold this understanding | within their grasp. Many will be surprised by experiences of unity |
T4:7.4 | Those who sustain Christ-consciousness will abide | within it free of judgment. They will not seek to create their |
T4:7.4 | of a perfect world and to force it upon others, but will abide | within the perfect world that is in the vision of |
T4:7.5 | a heart and mind joined in unity, your body too will exist or abide | within this natural state. It cannot help to, as it, just like your |
T4:8.2 | mean is that you are only now reaching a stage wherein you can know, | within your inner being, that this is the truth. I say this because |
T4:8.2 | I am not saying that you did not. I am saying that a choice was made | within the one mind, the one heart, and that this was your choice as |
T4:8.7 | learns to do these things, and that these things were loving acts | within a loving universe, a love-filled learning process. A learning |
T4:10.5 | happens in the present moment. Studying takes up residence | within the student; there to be mulled over, committed to memory, |
T4:12.4 | No matter where you are, no matter what concerns you still hold | within your heart, no matter what questions are emanating from your |
T4:12.9 | have been religious, abandon not your churches, for you will find | within them now, direct experiences of sharing. If you have found |
T4:12.11 | an example that relates to the state of rebellion that was discussed | within the text of this Treatise. |
T4:12.12 | and scholar who spoke of how he knew, as soon as he was content | within the life of the monastery, that it was time to once again move |
T4:12.16 | part of the nature of the human experience by becoming so consistent | within you that it came, through the passing down of the human |
T4:12.20 | no cause for fear. To dwell in fear will end your ability to dwell | within the love that is Christ-consciousness. As there is no longer |
T4:12.24 | You now exist | within a shared consciousness. The pattern of a shared consciousness |
T4:12.24 | is one of sharing in unity and relationship. There is no pattern | within it for learning (which is individual), for individual gain, or |
T4:12.28 | What this means will be revealed to you and shared by all who abide | within Christ-consciousness because you abide in a consciousness of |
T4:12.31 | fully come to awareness of all they have inherited and all it is | within their power to create. |
D:1.8 | Even with the ego gone, the personal self can continue to move about | within the world, a faceless and nameless entity, a being without an |
D:1.10 | ego is gone but the true Self has not been allowed as yet to dwell | within the personal self, thus elevating the personal self. You have |
D:1.12 | here. We go beyond what can be symbolized to what can only be known | within. It is to this state of grace that I call you now, today: The |
D:1.13 | you open your heart and allow your true identity to be what is, even | within your form. You are in grace and union with the Source and |
D:1.14 | Now I remember who I Am. Now I go forth To live as who I Am | within the world To make cause and effect as one, and Union with the |
D:2.1 | actions with which you have led your life thus far. You were told | within A Course of Love that willingness was all that was necessary |
D:2.1 | and let it return you to your true identity. Those of you who found | within this willingness an ability to receive and left behind your |
D:2.2 | and the revelations that will show you how to live as who you are | within the world—and you are asked to refuse to accept who you are |
D:2.2 | accept who you are not and the ways of life that allowed you to live | within the world as a false self. |
D:2.14 | Many of you have believed that the more details of life you have | within your control, the more likely you are to control outcome. |
D:2.16 | of your attempts to externalize patterns. Patterns are contained | within. Looking at the patterns you have attempted to externalize can |
D:2.19 | your desire to understand the world around you rather than the world | within you. If you were to understand the world within, you would |
D:2.19 | than the world within you. If you were to understand the world | within, you would need no systems to understand or manage the world |
D:2.21 | you see rather than a pattern of changing what you see by looking | within. |
D:2.22 | Within is where the real world and all your brothers and sisters | |
D:2.22 | and sisters exist in the unity of Christ-consciousness. Change | within effects change without, not the other way around! Within is |
D:2.22 | Change within effects change without, not the other way around! | Within is where you look to your own heart, rather than to any other |
D:2.22 | heart, rather than to any other authority, for advice or guidance. | Within is where you find the knowing of Christ-consciousness, the |
D:2.22 | the knowing of Christ-consciousness, the consciousness of unity. | Within is where you find the power of creation, the power to create |
D:2.22 | of creation, the power to create the patterns of the new. Looking | within is not an attempt to find the answers of the personal self of |
D:2.22 | separated self who depended on learned wisdom for answers. Looking | within is turning to the real Self and the consciousness shared by |
D:3.2 | It is not of the past or the future but of the eternal now. It is | within you as we speak, the tone and timbre of this dialogue. |
D:3.5 | As the wholehearted, you have it | within your ability to do what those who live their lives with a |
D:3.5 | who live their lives with a split mind could never do. You have it | within your ability to mend the rift of duality, a state that was |
D:3.8 | of the idea of giving and receiving as one that was introduced | within A Course of Love and taught quite thoroughly in “A Treatise on |
D:3.8 | new ideas, however, but rather ideas of who you truly are birthed | within the self of form so that the Self and the elevated Self of |
D:3.12 | that exists apart from form. Giving and receiving are thus one | within the shared consciousness of unity, which is the same as saying |
D:3.17 | “other” than your Self rather than seeking the awareness that exists | within. |
D:3.19 | expressions do not make different. These differences were spoken of | within this Course as unique expressions of the selfsame love that |
D:3.21 | the truth of giving and receiving being one. This awareness exists | within you and you cannot any longer claim to be unaware of it |
D:3.23 | All—all—that you need in order to create the new is available | within you. The power of the universe is given and received |
D:4.9 | the result of your attempts to externalize the patterns contained | within. Patterns are both of learning and of design. |
D:4.20 | its old structure or the false security you came to feel at times | within it. Do not look for a new structure with barred windows and |
D:4.21 | in it, just as you would have had you literally spent your life | within a prison’s walls. Breathe the sweet air of freedom. Be aware |
D:4.29 | to your Self, now your life must be returned to where it fits | within the divine design, to where it is a life of meaning and |
D:5.1 | Within this Course your “imitation” of creation was often spoken of. | |
D:5.4 | The world without was created as a true representation of the world | within, and as you become aware of the truth represented in all that |
D:5.21 | inconsistent with your being, while still in a form that exists | within a form, within a world that seems inconsistent with your |
D:5.21 | with your being, while still in a form that exists within a form, | within a world that seems inconsistent with your being. You will |
D:6.1 | Within the text of the coursework provided you heard many ideas that | |
D:6.2 | One of the methods employed by your teacher | within the text of your coursework was that of comparison, a method |
D:7.2 | You were told | within this Course that what you learn in unity is shared. This |
D:7.3 | You were also told | within this Course that because you were learning in separation, |
D:7.28 | this is your territory, it is a shared territory and a territory | within the territory of planet Earth. |
D:7.29 | live and work nearby. This territory of conscious awareness exists | within the larger consciousness of unity, just as the territory of |
D:7.29 | consciousness of unity, just as the territory of your body exists | within the larger territory of the planet Earth. We will begin here, |
D:8.1 | Continuing to imagine your body as the dot | within the circle, I ask you to imagine now being able to take a step |
D:9.5 | a pattern of the separated and thus learning self. When it was said | within this Course that you are an idea of God, and when ideas were |
D:9.12 | Like the natural abilities you discovered existed | within you prior to the time of learning, ideas are also discoveries |
D:9.12 | cause for talent, but what is heredity but that which already exists | within you? So too is it with an idea. An idea already exists within |
D:9.12 | exists within you? So too is it with an idea. An idea already exists | within you, but is awaiting its birth through you. |
D:11.5 | has lit a bonfire in your heart and begun a stampede of thoughts | within your mind. Again, is this not what we spoke of in the |
D:11.10 | These answers lie | within you, at the heart or center of your Self, as do all answers. |
D:11.10 | Because you will know and fully accept that the answers lie | within. |
D:11.12 | The giving and receiving of these words will never make sense | within the terms of the world you have always known. No explanation |
D:11.13 | of the nature of who you are if you but let this idea dwell | within you and take up residence in your heart. We are the sacred |
D:11.14 | In other words, the elevated Self of form does not remain contained | within the dot of the body but draws its sustenance from the larger |
D:12.1 | your mind and are themselves the product of your brain, which lies | within your body. Since it is believed that a cessation of brain |
D:12.1 | thought, you accept this as proof that your thoughts originate from | within your brain. |
D:12.4 | brain, they do not, nor did the words of this Course. You were told | within this Course and you are reminded now that these words enter |
D:12.13 | as it may sound, that this access and entryway already exists | within you, and that you have already benefited from moments of |
D:12.16 | truth, another’s reaction to this truth, or simple doubt that arose | within your thinking, but regardless of this fading of your |
D:12.16 | but regardless of this fading of your certainty, you still carry | within you the moment of realization—the moment in which the truth |
D:13.2 | know others to be. There are two issues of great import contained | within this statement, and we will explore each separately. |
D:13.4 | is known to you in an instant through the new means available to you | within the state of unity will still seem, at times, to need to be |
D:13.4 | they came to know, with what was received in a “ray of light” from | within the state of unity. |
D:14.1 | words, consistent with the action and the adventure of discovery | within the world around you. |
D:14.2 | Here it will be helpful to keep in mind the idea of “as | within, so without.” We are not leaving the Self to explore, because |
D:14.4 | me remind you again of your invulnerability and the cautions given | within this Course concerning testing this invulnerability. In a |
D:14.11 | to increase, to become. It is, for us, about bringing “out” what is | within. As you become aware “within” your Self, you enable the |
D:14.11 | your Self, you enable the expansion of awareness into the world. As | within, so without. An explorer seeking a new continent to “discover” |
D:14.15 | must precede creation of the new world. For as it has been said: As | within, so without. |
D:15.12 | I return you to the lesson on “pass through” which was contained | within this Course. The Course sought to teach you to develop a |
D:15.21 | that allow your acceptance and discovery of all that is available | within unity, or Christ-consciousness, will no longer be needed. This |
D:16.5 | The unified principles of creation, once unified | within each of us, bring light to each of us; they bring the ability |
D:16.6 | You were told | within this Course that being is as love is. Here you are told that |
D:16.13 | precede the creation of the new world. This is what is meant by “as | within, so without.” Only a new you can create a new world. The new |
D:16.18 | thinking that you are “acting” as if you have changed, while even | within your new actions you see archetypes of the previously known |
D:17.10 | Hope, as was said | within this Course, is a condition of the initiate. You have now |
D:17.12 | the power that A Course of Love came to return to you. You were told | within this Course that wholehearted desire for union would return |
D:17.25 | parables, or stories, has ended. This is why you have been told: “As | within, so without.” This is why you have been taken to the top of |
D:Day1.11 | power is of God, whether it be the power of granting life to grow | within the womb, or the power of giving new life to a limb withered |
D:Day1.18 | birth into what is beyond form. Adam and Eve represent what occurred | within you at the beginning of the story of your creation. I |
D:Day1.18 | beginning of the story of your creation. I represent what occurred | within you recently, the story of your rebirth through this Course. |
D:Day1.19 | The story of Adam and Eve, and the story of Jesus, are | within you. As within, so without. In each of you is Adam and Eve |
D:Day1.19 | The story of Adam and Eve, and the story of Jesus, are within you. As | within, so without. In each of you is Adam and Eve represented in |
D:Day1.21 | This fulfillment of scripture has now occurred | within you. When it occurred within me, it occurred within all. It |
D:Day1.21 | of scripture has now occurred within you. When it occurred | within me, it occurred within all. It became part of the continuing |
D:Day1.21 | has now occurred within you. When it occurred within me, it occurred | within all. It became part of the continuing story of creation, of |
D:Day1.21 | part of the continuing story of creation, of creation acted out | within the created. |
D:Day1.24 | return to paradise, to your true Self and your true home, is written | within you. It only needs to be lived to become real. You must accept |
D:Day2.2 | which you would desire peace, memories of your life continue to play | within your mind, often still bringing you sadness and regrets. |
D:Day2.6 | mountain peak, you have discovered a lightness of being, and yet | within it is this stone of regret. You continue to have a nagging |
D:Day2.18 | As was said | within this Course, my life is the example life. The way in which I |
D:Day3.12 | then that” world. An idea of a world in which the beliefs set forth | within this Course are neither seen nor lived by. |
D:Day3.18 | These are those who are resented most | within your world. And yet envied. This resentment and envy fills you |
D:Day3.26 | things. They were learned, to the degree that you could learn them | within the teachings of A Course of Love. But beyond learning is |
D:Day3.36 | me not as an intermediary. It is only in relationship with the God | within that the way will become clear. |
D:Day3.41 | of a responsive relationship with unity that does not exist only | within the mind of the wholehearted. |
D:Day3.47 | to be the reality of physical form and of what you have or have not | within the confines of that form. This would be like still seeing the |
D:Day3.50 | is not without value. You may have many good and even inspired ideas | within this time. You may feel as if you are on the right track, that |
D:Day3.59 | Like all that was taught | within this Course, this is a matter of all or nothing. You cannot |
D:Day4.5 | of the thought system of the ego, learning has been with you and | within you. Although the divine design of the time of learning is |
D:Day4.9 | insanity of the world and of your anger with the way things “are” | within the world. This is an anger that stems from lack of choice. |
D:Day4.20 | to live by the rules it would have them obey. Much progress was made | within these institutions, but also much misleading was done. |
D:Day4.25 | how many of the truths I expressed were still available to you, even | within your religious institutions. You feel, perhaps, that you did |
D:Day4.28 | Within you is the access that you seek, just as within you is the | |
D:Day4.28 | Within you is the access that you seek, just as | within you is the Kingdom of Heaven. |
D:Day4.30 | its training. Thus, a major key to your discovery of all that exists | within you in the state of unity, is an end to thinking as you know |
D:Day4.32 | Access simply exists | within your natural state, much like breathing is simply a fact of |
D:Day4.36 | the while realizing that its fulfillment lies already accomplished | within, in the access that lies within. |
D:Day4.36 | lies already accomplished within, in the access that lies | within. |
D:Day4.43 | Self of form? Do you want to know this place of access and carry it | within you, or do you only wish the opportunity to revisit it when |
D:Day4.51 | separation was the cause, but separation into form, had it occurred | within the realization of continuing relationship, would not have |
D:Day4.57 | the acknowledgments of the accomplishment that has always existed | within you and all of your brothers and sisters. |
D:Day5.7 | Unity and Love—as we have | within this work shown them to be—are the same. |
D:Day5.13 | You thus have long known the truth of giving and receiving as one | within your own heart. You might think of access in the same way—as |
D:Day6.7 | to see these words as lyrics. At some point after this gestation | within the mind and heart, the artist puts pen to paper, or picks up |
D:Day6.11 | developed the creative relationship that is union. You are in and | within the movement of the creative process where there is no |
D:Day6.12 | now from who you will be when you reach completion! You are in and | within the relationship of creation in which created and creator |
D:Day6.17 | We are having our dialogue on the holy mountain while you remain | within your life for the very purpose of not allowing this to happen. |
D:Day6.19 | are currently experiencing is the only elevation you would want. As | within, so without is the operative phrase here. It is not the other |
D:Day6.19 |
