| C:4.10 | made it so. Your thoughts have reviewed and reviewed again all the | pain that love has brought. It dwells on those occasions when love |

| C:18.23 | Determination of pleasure and | pain is made with the judgment of the separated self who not only |

| T3:13.5 | Remember now that pleasure and | pain as perceived by the body are from the same source. That source |
| T3:13.5 | yourself. You have believed pleasure to come at a cost, the cost of | pain. You have believed in the laws of man, laws that were made to |

| D:Day16.15 | hell or hell on earth. Love and fear existed simultaneously as did | paradise and hell. This became your world, which slowly grew from a |
| D:Day16.15 | your world, which slowly grew from a world primarily made up of | paradise and love, to a world primarily made up of hell and fear |
| D:Day16.15 | primarily made up of hell and fear because as more was expelled from | paradise, more was perceived as hellish or fearful. Less of love was |
| D:Day16.16 | everything—as love, which is everything—embraces it. This is | paradise re-found. |

| D:Day6.29 | Now let’s address this seeming | paradox. You have been told to do only what you can feel peaceful |

| T3:6.1 | a notion that would seem to suggest that the child is less than the | parent. Although you see yourself as the child of your mother and |

| C:P.28 | as it is meant to be; that you are not as you are meant to be. The | part of you that rages against injustice, pain, and horror does so |
| C:P.30 | from their family to begin their “own” life, so have you done as | part of God’s family. In the human family the separateness and |
| C:1.6 | It too does not matter. Remind yourself of this as well. This is | part of letting go of the old world to make way for the new. Realize |
| C:2.12 | tiniest fraction of what is true, if you but believe you are a small | part of God no bigger than a pinprick of light in a daunting sun, you |
| C:5.18 | your reality becomes. All that would join with you and become | part of the real world of your creation remains beyond your reach. |
| C:5.22 | within your world, a solution that requires no exertion on your | part, is seen to be of little value. The individual, you reason, is |
| C:5.30 | and thus fear of God. You can accept terror that reigns in another | part of the world because you feel no relationship to it. It is only |
| C:5.32 | of darkness. A day in which the sun shone on your world and you felt | part of everything. Every tree and every flower welcomed you. Every |
| C:6.20 | 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 you would deny in |
| C:8.4 | of remembering who you really are. It comes forth from the deepest | part of you, from the center in which you are joined with Christ. It |
| C:8.11 | all your seeking will not reveal the truth. And while there is a | part of you that knows this, you prefer instead of union a game of |
| C:9.38 | be achieved. You speak of balance, and try to find something for one | part of yourself in one place and something for another somewhere |
| C:10.3 | You cannot abandon one tenet and retain another because by retaining | part you retain all. This will lead to seeming failure to learn what |
| C:10.26 | You may laugh at yourself for taking | part in this silly experiment, but you will realize the desire to |
| C:10.27 | more aware of your surroundings, and more aware that your body is | part of everything that is happening. There is your body and six more |
| C:10.27 | of all the “others” traveling it with you. You will feel more a | part of everything rather than less, and be surprised by this feeling. |
| C:11.12 | It is true that your free will is powerful as it is | part, but only part, of what has allowed you to believe in your |
| C:11.12 | It is true that your free will is powerful as it is part, but only | part, of what has allowed you to believe in your separated state. |
| C:12.1 | The word love is | part of your problem with this Course. If I were to take the word |
| C:12.4 | of yourself. Yet you must understand that nothing that is not | part of God is worthy of joining, nor can join with you. What you |
| C:12.5 | of certainty, not of your mind but of your heart. There is a | part of you that thinks, “If I could just be sure…” and stops there, |
| C:12.7 | come of giving up your need to do so. Your desire for certainty is | part of your resistance to any ideas that seem to be about change. |
| C:12.8 | alone will all the others follow—and through no effort on your | part at all. And even this one change is not a change at all, for it |
| C:12.19 | the places in which it would occur or the people that would be | part of it. In short, the external aspects of the life. |
| C:13.5 | courage, and from another like gentleness, and while this is all | part of what you are encouraged to feel, it is simply asked that you |
| C:13.8 | memories that are of your own Self. For no spirit exists that is not | part of you, or you of it. If you find yourself distracted by these |
| C:14.2 | Is it not true that you have made an enemy of creation? Do you feel | part of it and at one with all within it? If not, you have made |
| C:14.2 | different from all the rest, and in this seeking proclaim that one | part of creation is better than another part. You thus seek to |
| C:14.2 | seeking proclaim that one part of creation is better than another | part. You thus seek to fragment creation as you have fragmented your |
| C:14.16 | meant to occur. Although you know not your purpose, at least a | part of you believes that this is true, for there must be some reason |
| C:14.18 | to say that you think otherwise. Yet, since only what you know is | part of your universe, do you not see that it depends on you, and if |
| C:17.2 | that you would fill as your own Self is held for you by another | part of your consciousness that has never left it. It is the reunion |
| C:17.14 | is added to 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 |
| C:18.2 | Imagine that you are | part of a chain of bodies holding hands and encircling the globe. I |
| C:18.3 | of a universal nature. It is simply less obvious that you are | part of what has established and keeps a universal order, part of a |
| C:18.3 | you are part of what has established and keeps a universal order, | part of a whole that would be a completely different whole without |
| C:18.8 | its sights and sounds, joys and sorrows. And yet you are also | part of the projection, and this is where your awareness now abides, |
| C:19.7 | I was | part of this means, but only part. Fulfillment can be provided by |
| C:19.7 | I was part of this means, but only | part. Fulfillment can be provided by each and every one of your |
| C:19.17 | exists it is highly prized. God is thus “God” due, at least in | part, to what you view as His singularity. You view those who worship |
| C:19.17 | Still, oneness and unity go together, the unity of creation being | part of the oneness of God, and the oneness of God part of the unity |
| C:19.17 | of creation being part of the oneness of God, and the oneness of God | part of the unity of creation. A mind trained by separation can have |
| C:19.24 | you have made between mind and heart are their ability to keep one | part of yourself blameless. Whatever happens, your divided notion of |
| C:19.24 | both protect and conceal. Fault always lies elsewhere. The guiltless | part of you is always free to redeem the guilt-filled self. This idea |
| C:20.17 | exist apart from God. The heartbeat of the world is thus alive and | part of you. This heart connection is what we seek to return you to. |
| C:22.10 | Further, it is the | part of you through which everything within your world passes and |
| C:22.23 | This intimacy itself will allow you to see your “self” as an integral | part of all that exists within your world rather than as the small |
| C:22.23 | You will find that you fulfill a grand purpose, and have a wonderful | part to play in a grand design. You will not feel cheated by losing |
| C:25.14 | invulnerability can only be claimed by those who recognize it as | part of their true identity. Invulnerability will then serve you and |
| C:25.22 | for change that does not necessarily require action on your | part, you will feel some relief. |
| C:26.1 | some amazement that I lived a short life, preached for only a small | part of it, traveled not very far, had few possessions or influential |
| C:27.11 | to all the rest. You matter, and you matter as an interactive | part of the relationship that is life. You are already accomplished |
| C:29.11 | While this is neither good nor bad, this attitude of life as toil is | part of your rebellion against ideas of service. You have no time for |
| C:30.3 | little children, and inhale the world around you in order to make it | part of your Self. Be like the little children, and learn in order to |
| C:31.8 | countries, various cities, but all of you rely on the one Earth as | part of a sameness and interdependence you accept. You are aware that |
| C:31.8 | the cosmos too is something that the Earth and all on the Earth are | part of. You believe fully that you are inseparable from the Earth, |
| C:31.9 | nature of perfection and your own Self as Creator and Created. Being | part of the whole that is your known universe has made you and no |
| C:31.11 | able, in your limited view of yourself, to come up with. There is a | part of you that knows that you have higher thoughts, and knows that |
| C:31.14 | The ego is that | part of yourself that clings to the idea of separation, and thus |
| C:31.26 | you are. What you have learned in truth resides in your mind as a | part of you. What you have not yet learned from awaits your learning |
| T1:2.14 | The sunset is a gift of God. It is what it is. This is the first | part of this example. |
| T1:2.15 | The second | part is its reception. A gift has been given. What is your response? |
| T1:2.16 | The sunset is | part of your human experience. In the lower order of that experience |
| T1:2.17 | is acknowledged. It is a fact of your existence as a human being, a | part of the natural world, a gift of the Creator. Secondly, it is |
| T1:2.21 | God is to be present as a divine being having a human experience. No | part of being is negated. All senses and feelings of the human being |
| T1:5.4 | The second aspect of this fear is fear of the divine. A | part of this fear of the divine is related to the fear of the human |
| T1:5.4 | actually grow stronger as you get closer to the truth. This is the | part of you that believes this communication itself is insane, that |
| T1:5.6 | A | part of you is aware of this and as fearful of the all of everything |
| T1:7.2 | here, as these may not see suffering as pain but only as a natural | part of being human that calls for acceptance. They thus find peace |
| T1:9.4 | of gestation, which is the prelude to resurrection. What was once | part of the mother and father, what would have died without the |
| T2:1.1 | becomes instead something regarded as an ability and later as simply | part of your identity. This is what we are going to explore in this |
| T2:4.2 | You are not only | part of creation, but as has been said many times, a creator, and as |
| T2:4.15 | until it is no longer needed. Anything continuous and ongoing is | part of creation. Thus the very act of undoing old patterns is an act |
| T2:6.5 | abilities within time. You believe that your treasures only become | part of your identity when you have passed beyond the time it takes |
| T2:6.6 | would place on the concept of something being what it is, must be | part of this discussion. |
| T2:6.7 | be what it is, a known fact, an object with an identity, but also | part of the ongoing nature of creation. Could this be true of a chair |
| T2:9.7 | also inherently knows that needs and the fulfillment of needs are | part of the same fabric—they are like puzzle pieces that fit |
| T2:12.10 | it to flourish and show its abundance. The gardener knows she is | part of the relationship that is the garden. A true gardener believes |
| T3:1.6 | unreal reality. It is as if you have been an actor upon a stage, the | part you play as unreal as the setting on which you play it. Yet |
| T3:1.6 | on which you play it. Yet there is a “you” who has been playing the | part, a part that, while developed under the ego’s direction, still |
| T3:1.6 | you play it. Yet there is a “you” who has been playing the part, a | part that, while developed under the ego’s direction, still allowed |
| T3:1.7 | system of unity and you are left, perhaps, feeling unsure of the | part you are now to play. There is not one of you who has not begun |
| T3:2.4 | discuss the ego’s thought system. What you believe about yourself is | part of the foundation that has been built around this system. Now, |
| T3:3.9 | Whether you think such thoughts consciously or not, there is a | part of you that still believes you are not good enough to be the |
| T3:5.4 | walls to ash or a flood that would wash them away, was as much a | part of the survival mechanism of your real Self as was the rush to |
| T3:5.4 | survival mechanism of your real Self as was the rush to rebuild a | part of the survival mechanism of the ego-self. |
| T3:6.5 | or unrecognizable. But it has become, like the ego, so much a | part of your reality that it must, like the ego, be consciously left |
| T3:8.13 | Has not a | part of you always known that suffering does not have to be even |
| T3:14.12 | nature and look upon nature’s ability to correct itself. You are a | part of nature. Your body can correct or heal itself, and so can your |
| T3:16.16 | that only seem to have the ability to build upon each other. Let one | part go and soon all the remaining parts will crumble into the dust |
| T3:18.2 | Observation, the ability to observe what the Self expresses, was | part of the original choice for physical form. The word observance |
| T3:18.3 | observer and this relationship causes an effect. Because this was | part of the original choice for the physical experience, it is a |
| T3:21.12 | than these things, although this hasn’t as often been considered as | part of what makes you certain of your personal self, are the |
| T3:21.12 | among you rarely count what you have acquired in form as | part of your identity. What you have acquired that is not of form, |
| T3:21.12 | you hold certain. A degree earned or talent developed is seen as | part of your identity, as part of who you are. |
| T3:21.12 | earned or talent developed is seen as part of your identity, as | part of who you are. |
| T3:21.13 | the parameters of your belief system. You think of these things as | part of what make up the totality of who you are, of your personal |
| T4:2.23 | that are likely to have an impact on your life or on your | part of the world. But unless you believe in the ability for what |
| T4:4.8 | Changing form is | part of the pattern of life-everlasting. The change in the form you |
| T4:4.8 | spoken of as that of elevation of the personal self, is a natural | part of the pattern of life-everlasting. It is long over-due. It is |
| T4:5.7 | Just as your finger is but one | part of your body, without being separate from your body, or other |
| T4:5.7 | being separate from your body, or other than your body, you are | part of the body of Christ, the body of energy that makes up the |
| T4:6.1 | Now I ask you to consider the | part you play in the creation of this all-encompassing consciousness. |
| T4:6.1 | you alive or dead, asleep or awake, literally or figuratively, is a | part of the consciousness that is Christ-consciousness. This is why |
| T4:8.12 | rebellion against the constraints of your nature in form thus became | part of the pattern of creation because it was the created’s |
| T4:12.4 | you will realize that it also addresses you individually and as | part of the collectivity of the whole. This dialogue will, however, |
| T4:12.16 | rebellion was the effect of the cause of learned wisdom. It became | part of the nature of the human experience by becoming so consistent |
| T4:12.27 | was known to you in the pattern of that design, a pattern that was | part of the pattern of your thoughts, even after the ego came to rule |
| T4:12.27 | ego could have succeeded in becoming the ruler of the personal self. | Part of this design and pattern was the freedom of free will. |
| T4:12.33 | of the design or pattern that reveals our lack of separation is | part of the creation that is before us. It will be mutually decided |
| T4:12.34 | Creation of the new has begun. We are an interactive | part of this creative act of a loving Creator. Creation is a |
| D:2.23 | This is the agreement God asks of you, your | part of the shared agreement that will fulfill the promises of your |
| D:4.11 | without accepting that a divine design exists and that you are | part of it. Remember that our goal here is to deny the old and accept |
| D:4.11 | that the universe exists in divine order, and that your life is | part of that divine design. |
| D:4.15 | have accepted as the truth. Some of these systems of thought were | part of the divine pattern. Contrast is one such system. As a |
| D:4.16 | Other systems of thought were not | part of the divine pattern. The ego is one such system. It may seem |
| D:4.16 | systems, built as they were upon patterns now being recreated, are | part of the old. |
| D:4.29 | is the return of wholeness. This return is not selfish on your | part, but magnanimous. It returns wholeness to you and wholeness to |
| D:4.30 | fail. This will not bring suffering but will end suffering. Your | part is to invite it and accept it when it comes. State your |
| D:6.13 | a grand facilitator of the human spirit’s quest for the truth and is | part of what brought you, finally, to the quest to know your Self. |
| D:7.3 | rise or set to separate day into night. Resting and waking will be | part of the same continuum of being. |
| D:7.23 | adaptation, and evolution moves with them. But evolution in time is | part of the old that needs to be left behind. It is a provision of |
| D:8.4 | one of the primary factors leading to this realization because a | part of you has always known this ability was a “given.” That you are |
| D:13.11 | We come now to the second | part of what we are exploring together here, the idea that what you |
| D:Day1.21 | you. When it occurred within me, it occurred within all. It became | part of the continuing story of creation, of creation acted out |
| D:Day1.22 | The story came after the fact. Thus the fulfillment was always | part of the story of creation. It was always part of you as it was |
| D:Day1.22 | fulfillment was always part of the story of creation. It was always | part of you as it was always part of me. |
| D:Day1.22 | of the story of creation. It was always part of you as it was always | part of me. |
| D:Day1.24 | it and made it real for you. You must accept me because I am the | part of you that can guide you beyond what I accomplished to the |

| D:Day2.8 | arises from erroneous ideas that remain regarding your unworthiness. | Part of this feeling arises from the erroneous idea that you can |
| D:Day2.9 | judgments, judgments that arise from your conscience, from that | part of you that has compared your actions to the laws of man and God |
| D:Day3.59 | this Course, this is a matter of all or nothing. You cannot accept | part of one reality and part of another. You cannot accept, for |
| D:Day3.59 | matter of all or nothing. You cannot accept part of one reality and | part of another. You cannot accept, for instance, the compassionate |
| D:Day4.1 | here all the “arguments” that I needed to present in the early | part of this Course just to convince you that you are not alone and |
| D:Day4.6 | The divine design of learning was a given and a natural | part of you, much like breathing. You have no choice about breathing, |
| D:Day4.54 | have to be accepting. Accepting of all that you are. Fear is not a | part of what you are, which is why it cannot remain with you as the |
| D:Day5.9 | as the center of the Self rather than the pump that functions as | part of your body, it will be helpful to have identified this chosen |
| D:Day5.15 | Realize here that although you are now a | part of a community seeking the same goal, the realization, or |
| D:Day10.17 | Part of the difficulty you find in accepting reliance on your Self is | |
| D:Day13.7 | you become completely fearless and totally spacious, for fear is | part of the density of form, being a lack of love. |
| D:Day16.6 | all that has been rejected or ejected. All that has been expelled is | part of the wholeness of the self. As what was ejected or rejected |
| D:Day16.10 | grief, 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 |
| D:Day19.5 | their brothers and sisters called to “do,” do not have a specific | part to play in establishing the world in which all are able to be |
| D:Day25.2 | within this stillness, however. As it envelopes you, there is a | part of you that will fight back. If there is nothing new to record, |
| D:Day25.2 | new to record, nothing new to learn, no new divine inspiration, a | part of your mind will attempt to create from this nothingness. Allow |
| D:Day28.17 | exist within thought systems that have been externalized and are | part of the world on level ground. These external systems are based, |
| D:Day28.20 | by the variable of time. Said in another way, eternity and time are | part of the same continuum as are properties such as hot and cold. |
| D:Day28.20 | the same continuum as are properties such as hot and cold. They are | part of the same whole that is the constant of all that is whole— |
| D:Day29.5 | so newly discovered and yet always existing within you, has been a | part of the process that has allowed you access to two levels of |
| D:Day29.6 | Your familiarity with your spacious self has also been | part of the process and part of the experience of merging wholeness |
| D:Day29.6 | with your spacious self has also been part of the process and | part of the experience of merging wholeness and separation. While you |
| D:Day30.2 | order for a common denominator to be found, more than one (fraction, | part, or variable) must exist. The purpose of finding a common |
| D:Day37.27 | You have seen this as being separate, or at most as being “a” | part of God—as if you are a drop of water in the ocean—and in |
| D:Day39.11 | behind, are not done away with but only transformed. Relationship is | part of life. Inescapable. Acceptance that our relationship is and |
| A.24 | another’s. It is also not about being selfless. These ideas too are | part of the unlearning of this Course and are to be discouraged. |
| A.42 | will realize that your participation in the world as Who You Are is | part of an on-going dialogue, and that it is an on-going aspect of |

| C:3.10 | continue to believe you are the effect and not the cause. This is | partially due to your concept of the mind. What you conceive it to |

| D:7.28 | that has become a favorite park or lake or beach that you consider | partially yours. You have a route to and from your work or other |

participant (4) |
||
| D:3.16 | As the Self, you are giver and receiver. Your Self is a full | participant in this dialogue. You as the Self are the truth. You as |
| D:Day8.14 | may know that you dislike gossip only because you have been both a | participant and a victim of it. It may still call up feelings of |
| D:Day10.24 | a monologue, but we are having a dialogue in which you are a full | participant. As much of what you read in these dialogues comes from |
| A.42 | You are not a “student” of The Dialogues but a full | participant in The Dialogues. You have entered the final stages of |
participate (6) |
||
| C:12.21 | ability to be more than what it was, except for as the son chose to | participate in it. |
| T4:12.4 | dialogue will, however, be ongoing, and this is your invitation to | participate in this dialogue. No matter where you are, no matter what |
| D:14.4 | your invulnerability in order to be a real explorer, and to fully | participate in the discovery that lies beyond the body and mind, form |
| D:Day8.9 | taking place in a present moment situation, will enable you not to | participate, judge, or appear to accept that which you do not truly |
| D:Day18.1 | to anchoring the new within the web of reality. Still others will | participate in both, following their innate desire to facilitate the |
| D:Day29.1 | be separate. Remember that you have already realized the ability to | participate in two levels of experience simultaneously and that |
participated (2) |
||
| C:18.14 | now is a choice of participation. In unity, all that you desired was | participated in fully by a mind and heart combined in |
| D:7.21 | Evolution is the time-bound way in which the body has | participated in creation. This is why you have been told that you are |
participating (7) |
||
| C:8.18 | Now that you are standing back from your body, | participating in this experiment to recognize the surface element of |
| C:10.31 | will find yourself, at times that seem to be “against your will,” | participating in it despite your determination not to do so. Once you |
| C:12.19 | vacation when brought to fruition might reshape the life of the one | participating in it, it would not change who that person was, or who |
| D:6.1 | so that you would not forget the purpose of the learning you were | participating in. Eventually your learning reached an end point as |
| D:6.27 | true Self is fully aware of the elevated Self of form and is fully | participating in its experiences and feelings. The elevated Self of |
| D:Day27.9 | The two levels of experience which you have been | participating in are the joint cornerstones for the biggest |
| D:Day27.14 | This is what we move toward as we practice | participating in two levels of experience simultaneously. We practice |
participation (9) |

| C:9.41 | glory. You run the race as long as you can and, win or lose, your | participation in the race was but the required offering to the idol |
| C:10.26 | as the sense of fun that prompted it, will come without the body’s | participation. |
| C:12.22 | Thus, the son’s | participation in the idea of separation seemed to bring about a |
| C:12.22 | destiny different than that which had already been written. Yet this | participation could not but proceed from the original idea and could |
| C:18.14 | in relationship to its creator. All that remains now is a choice of | participation. In unity, all that you desired was participated in |
| C:24.4 | with life. This engagement is a promise, a commitment. It requires | participation, involvement, attention, being present. These are the |
| C:25.2 | serving and being served by love. Devotion is a particular type of | participation. It cannot be faked. But it can be practiced. |
| C:25.15 | Involvement flows from | participation and engagement. While it may conjure up notions of |
| A.42 | and live as Who You Are in the world. You will realize that your | participation in the world as Who You Are is part of an on-going |

| D:Day32.8 | a unifying factor. God is closer, within this idea, to being a | participatory being, but still falls short. Man lives and has free |

| C:P.26 | the same bloodline. Within that bloodline are genes that carry | particular traits and predispositions. A child of one family may |
| C:P.39 | are able to see yourself—as man or woman, as a being existing in a | particular time in history. This one- or at best three-dimensional |
| C:P.39 | If you cannot see yourself “other than” as man or woman living in a | particular place in a particular time, you cannot see your Self. Thus |
| C:P.39 | “other than” as man or woman living in a particular place in a | particular time, you cannot see your Self. Thus Jesus comes to you |

| D:7.14 | Loving all that you are, including your body, is not love of the | particular but universal love. The old way in which you related to |

| D:Day10.21 | can be joined. That you, as man or woman, existing in this | particular time and space, can join with Christ-consciousness. You |
| D:Day10.28 | Let’s continue with this idea a while longer as you consider a | particular person you fondly remember from life and how you have |
| D:Day14.9 | never about escape or rejection. Pass-through is about releasing the | particular while maintaining the relationship. It is what happens in |
| D:Day18.2 | the world without. Christ-consciousness is God within you, your | particular manifestation of God and relationship with the God within. |

| C:17.17 | You may ask then why this Course has treated them as separate | parts of you. This is simply because this is the way you see them, |
| C:21.2 | your imagined reliance on the particular. The particular is about | parts and parts are all you see. I remind you of what was said |
| C:21.2 | reliance on the particular. The particular is about parts and | parts are all you see. I remind you of what was said earlier |

| T4:2.23 | you have with others. You have watched the news and developments in | parts of the world far away from you and at times are aware of |
| T4:5.6 | or the Body of Christ, as all that makes up the seemingly individual | parts of the All of everything. Christ-consciousness is your |
| D:13.5 | a state of wholeness. You have previously learned of everything in | parts and details and particulars. While you are perfectly capable of |
| D:14.10 | learning is incremental and discovery is not. Learning took place in | parts in an effort to lead to wholeness. Discovery comes to you in |
| D:14.10 | Discovery comes to you in wholeness. So these steps are not about | parts or levels but about the expansion of your awareness of what is. |

| C:22.4 | A second and equally worthy image is that of a needle | passing through material. Of itself, it can hold two pieces of |
| C:22.5 | value in terms of purpose, it provides an image of a straight line | passing through not one, but many layers of another substance. |
| C:22.6 | among. The illustrations used here, however, concentrate upon a | passing through rather than upon an idea of division, and they help |
| C:22.8 | to have no function or purpose are deemed meaningless. The act of | passing through is, of itself, seen as of little consequence. |
| C:22.9 | Yet it is the | passing through that creates the intersection. Everything within your |
| C:22.9 | you in a given way that you deem as purposeful. Yet it is in the | passing through that meaning occurs of itself. |
| C:22.10 | to pass through layers with a seeming lack of purpose for the | passing through. |
| C:22.13 | that these things have not passed through you and in the act of | passing through formed a relationship and a partnership with you. |
| C:22.14 | While | passing through would seem to imply an entry and exit point, the |
| C:22.14 | developed during the pass-through continues. Just as wind or water | passing through an entry and exit point has an impact and a motion, |
| C:22.20 | Begin to imagine life | passing through you rather than getting stopped for examination at |
| T1:3.11 | and one you can pass or fail. And what’s more, not only would your | passing of this test require you to contemplate your power, but your |
| T2:13.5 | in which you exist here and remain forever beyond all time and the | passing of all form. It is an attitude of praise and thankfulness |
| T3:5.8 | not what you have taken it to mean, an endless series of generations | passing. What this means is that in each the ego will die and the |
| T3:12.11 | creation but there are stages of growth and change. Humankind is now | passing through a tremendous stage of growth and change. Are you |
| T4:4.4 | the state of over-population, this idea was much in evidence. The | passing of a parent was seen, particularly historically, as the time |
| T4:4.5 | times. Inherent within the idea of inheritance was an idea of | passing as well as an idea of continuity. What belonged to the Father |

| D:5.11 | you to remind you of who you are in the time of learning that is now | passing away. Thus all was given to you to represent what is rather |
| D:15.12 | Expression, movement, and being are about what is eternal | passing through what is temporal. Thus I return you to the lesson on |
| D:16.3 | what animated form with life did not remain. The belief that in the | passing through, a relationship did not form. But as can be easily |
| D:17.5 | comes after the embrace of homecoming, and what comes before the | passing of desire and the reverence that replaces it. It acknowledges |
| D:Day4.24 | What many forgot, after the | passing of the first of my disciples, was that they had access to |

| C:2.15 | Look not to figures from the | past to show you the way beyond illusions to the present. Look within |
| C:8.22 | Although you cannot observe it, you will become aware of how the | past walks through your days with you, and the future too. Both are |
| C:8.23 | Where lives this | past and future? Where does day go when it is night? What are you to |
| C:11.4 | fear of failing, and earnest attempts at trying hard have long been | past. Each exercise is but an idea, and ideas leave not their source. |
| C:13.4 | or defined in the same way you have defined their bodies in the | past. |
| C:13.12 | of others and yourself, for your memory will contain no hint of | past misdeeds, errors or mistakes. No one will have leveled any hurts |
| C:16.6 | there is no cause for conflict. Judgment makes different. It looks | past what is the same and sees it not and sees instead what it is |
| C:16.12 | the wrongs you would enumerate. True forgiveness simply looks | past illusion to the truth where there are no sins to be forgiven, no |
| C:19.20 | it is the last such review that will be required before letting the | past go completely. All your previous attempts to go back have been |
| C:19.21 | You need not go in search of it, and in truth, cannot, for the | past does not abide in you. What you need rather do is strive for a |
| C:21.7 | meaning in different ways you will not find peace. You have, in the | past, accepted these different interpretations as natural. You see |
| C:23.4 | side of the country, separated by distance, or previous choices, or | past hurts, and yet a relationship continues. |
| C:23.12 | similar to those which you term induction and deduction. In the | past, exercises have most often begun with an alteration of beliefs |
| C:25.16 | from love. Living from love is what will reverse the lessons of the | past. Reversing the lessons of the past is what will allow you to |
| C:25.16 | will reverse the lessons of the past. Reversing the lessons of the | past is what will allow you to live in love in every instance. |
| C:25.17 | and holding resentments. There are no “parts” of Self living in the | past or the future. There is not a “mindful” Self living separately |
| C:25.24 | that are contrary to usual patterns of action you have taken in the | past, you will often meet resistance. Try to be lighthearted at such |
| C:26.20 | stock answer. This is why all answers have disappointed you in the | past. Your answer is not the same as any other. No matter how filled |
| C:27.14 | what “should” be happening rather than what is happening. It looks | past perception of “others” to relationship and wholeness. To live in |
| C:27.18 | power that is not of this world? Will you see the future and the | past, be cognizant of destiny and of fate? You do have power that is |
| C:27.19 | have lacked. The typical fears you have experienced in the | past will not arise within this knowing. |
| C:29.3 | by your military service. You have no notion, as did people of the | past, of being of service to God. This is a symptom of the reign of |
| C:29.26 | of giving and receiving. All your worry over the future and the | past is but a worry about the return of gifts given. What gift of |
| C:29.26 | of gifts given. What gift of opportunity did you not accept in the | past, might you not recognize in the future? What gift of fortune, |
| C:29.26 | truly realized, that all gifts come but once and are forever? The | past nor the future matter not. All is available in the here and now |
| C:29.27 | exists, but in the present. Can you replace your attention to the | past and future with an attention to the present? |
| C:30.4 | as an instruction that relates to time. You think of present time, | past time, future time. We have spoken of these modes of keeping time |
| C:31.15 | from who you truly are. On the one hand, you think that you are your | past, your shame, your guilt; on the other that you are your future, |
| C:31.26 | Your | past has nothing to do with the truth about who you are, except in |
| T1:2.7 | Your only recourse to this situation in the | past was focus. You thus applied your thoughts to learning subjects |
| T1:6.7 | next. Thus memory allows relationship. Memory, or how you relate to | past experiences, is what makes each individual unique. A family can |
| T1:6.8 | So what happens when memories of | past experiences are revisited under the all-encompassing umbrella of |
| T1:8.4 | come to you now to reveal the one truth that has existed for the | past two thousand years without your comprehension of it. The nature |
| T1:9.15 | have placed your highest value and are thus most vulnerable. In the | past your response would have been to protect and use that which you |
| T1:10.10 | sway over you that you would choose not the Peace of God. But look | past what you have remembered to what was truly there. No moment of |
| T2:4.10 | of your thoughts and feelings. A second step is willingness to move | past both ambiguity and conflict to union. |
| T2:4.12 | that peace to what you feel called to do. This is not about the | past and all those things that at one time or another you thought |
| T2:5.3 | Such a call signals an end to learning from the lessons of the | past and a beginning of learning from the new. This Course itself is |
| T2:5.6 | is not. They represent the remnants of learning from the | past, the final breaking of old patterns. They may seem to signal |
| T3:1.11 | self has only existed as the self you presented to others in the | past is quite a different statement and has a totally different |
| T3:1.11 | were” was a self who existed in time, a self who believed that the | past made up the self of the present and that the self of the present |
| T3:1.11 | self of the future. The personal self you presented to others in the | past was a chosen self and never a whole self as evidenced by the |
| T3:1.11 | variety of selves you saw yourself to be. The personal self of the | past was a self of roles, each one as learned as that which an actor |
| T3:1.11 | in one role and a friend in another, than you did in defining a | past self, a present self and a future self. The greatest distinction |
| T3:1.13 | undone. This is atonement. We work now to correct the errors of the | past in the present, the only place where such work can be done. We |
| T3:3.5 | blame could be rightly placed. Your depression was blamed on the | past. Even your successes were often claimed to be at the expense of |
| T3:4.1 | tenets you can become good. It gives no credence and no blame to any | past cause for your depression, anxiety, meanness, illness or |
| T3:5.1 | to be feared. Yet it is this fear of emptiness that has, in the | past, made those who have experienced it rush to find the easiest and |
| T3:5.3 | things you have brought to yourself for they have been the only way | past the ego’s guarded gate. |
| T3:8.4 | comprised of the one identity you now hold or the identity of many | past lives, the identity you hold in this time and this place still |
| T3:8.5 | a suffering for which you see no rationale. Those who believe in | past lives have also often adopted beliefs regarding choice and |
| T3:8.5 | suffering were made for some greater good or to repay debts of the | past. The only choice that has been made is that of attachment to the |
| T3:9.5 | of many who came before you but the time of such work, for you, is | past. Many remain to shake the walls of illusion. Few stand beyond it |
| T3:10.6 | that all lessons are gifts. What you have struggled to learn in the | past you have struggled with only because you did not realize the |
| T3:10.7 | Not one situation coming to you now will be a repeat of the | past. How can it be when the past was lived in the house of illusion |
| T3:10.7 | to you now will be a repeat of the past. How can it be when the | past was lived in the house of illusion and the present is lived in |
| T3:10.7 | realized. You have passed through your time of unlearning what the | past but seemed to teach you. Now, while life may seem much unchanged |
| T3:10.10 | This feeling will remain only as long as you remember your | past uncertainty. Uncertainty, like all the rest of the ego’s thought |
| T3:10.10 | Thus you are called, as well, to forget the uncertainty of the | past. |
| T3:10.11 | of certainty. Realize that this is how you have learned in the | past and that all that is from the past is what you are being called |
| T3:10.11 | is how you have learned in the past and that all that is from the | past is what you are being called to forget. Thus when uncertainty |
| T3:10.11 | you need but remind yourself that the time for uncertainty is | past. Uncertainty will not now come to teach you lessons you have |
| T3:10.11 | you have already learned but will only visit you as an echo from the | past. It is a habit, a pattern of the old thought system. All you |
| T3:14.11 | choice to explore the why behind it or to look for remedies for the | past. The choice now is whether you want suffering to continue or |
| T3:14.12 | are allowed to do so. A time-bound consciousness that hangs onto the | past as if it were the truth, allows not correction to take place. |
| T3:14.12 | as if it were the truth, allows not correction to take place. The | past is no more and neither the present nor the future can be built |
| T3:14.13 | must be total to be at all. Can you see why you cannot hang onto the | past? The new cannot have historical precedents. This is why you have |
| T3:14.13 | to is a life so new that you cannot even imagine it. Imagine not the | past and make for yourself no cause to prolong it. The past is but a |
| T3:14.13 | not the past and make for yourself no cause to prolong it. The | past is but a starting point for the future. Just as we talked of the |
| T3:14.13 | of all that proceeds from the idea of blame, so too is it with the | past. Like a story yet to be written, that which follows the first |
| T3:15.1 | relationship of marriage have had occasion to choose to forgive the | past and begin again to build a new relationship. Others, in a |
| T3:15.1 | Others, in a similar relationship, might have chosen to let the | past go and enter into new relationships. Parents have welcomed home |
| T3:15.3 | concerning the relationship, a set of criteria based upon the | past that is most often what prevents new beginnings from truly being |
| T3:15.4 | are offered or considered “in spite of” circumstances of the | past that would seem to make them foolish. There is always some |
| T3:15.4 | contingent upon whom they have represented themselves to be in the | past. |
| T3:15.5 | can approach each day with faith while keeping fresh memories of | past abuse or humiliation in the hopes that they will discourage a |
| T3:15.6 | Everyone believes they carry the baggage of the | past, not only their own but that of all the special relationships in |
| T3:15.7 | up the idea that this core or center has been represented by the | past. You must forget the idea that the future cannot be different |
| T3:15.7 | must forget the idea that the future cannot be different than the | past. |
| T3:15.11 | learn the truth through the same methods that have been used in the | past to learn illusion. This Course teaches that love cannot be |
| T3:15.14 | why you cannot approach this new beginning as you have those of the | past. What will assist you most, as the translation of the old |
| T3:15.17 | still the same being that you have represented yourself to be in the | past, you will not be living by the truth but by illusion. |
| T3:19.11 | form in a new way, you can still see that your actions of the | past represented who you believed yourself to be. Thus those |
| T3:19.14 | Just think of how many saints and miracles you have heard of in the | past without being moved to believe that they mean anything at all |
| T4:1.3 | that some are not chosen now and that many were not chosen in the | past. |
| T4:1.13 | this excitement grow, your loyalty to your race, species, and the | past, hinders your excitement. If what you are beginning to believe |
| T4:1.13 | you as failures? Has the seed of the future lain dormant in the | past? Could it have been activated hundreds or thousands of years |
| T4:1.16 | come to live by the truth. It is in this way that the truth of the | past still lives and that the illusion of the past never was. |
| T4:1.16 | that the truth of the past still lives and that the illusion of the | past never was. |
| T4:1.23 | and more obscure. Some have yearned for a return to days not long | past, days during which distinctions between right and wrong did seem |
| T4:2.14 | It is difficult for you, because of the patterns of the | past, to believe that you are chosen to be the pioneers into a new |
| T4:2.15 | Your awareness of the Self that you are now was not present in the | past, but you can truly now, with the devotion of the observant, see |
| T4:2.30 | to see bodies and events moving through your days as you have in the | past. And yet your vision has already changed, although you are not |
| T4:6.7 | You can exist in Christ-consciousness, as have many others of the | past, and through your existence in Christ-consciousness, affect much |

| T4:8.4 | us dwell again, for just a moment before we let this dwelling in the | past go forever, on what has “gone wrong” with God’s expression of |
| T4:8.17 | is fast approaching. Coming to know through learning will be of the | past as soon as Christ-consciousness is sustainable and you begin to |
| T4:9.1 | comes to an end. It comes to an end here and now as we move | past study and learning to observation, vision, and revelation. |
| T4:10.3 | the illness has come to bring you. You have learned anew from your | past. Learned from your dreams. Learned from art and music. In all of |
| T4:10.3 | the learner. You may not have studied your problems, illness, your | past, your dreams, or art and music as you studied the lessons that |
| T4:10.14 | who you are anew in unity and relationship. You can learn from the | past but not from the future. When you build upon what you can learn |
| T4:10.14 | future. When you build upon what you can learn you build upon the | past and create not the future but an extension of the past. You who |
| T4:10.14 | upon the past and create not the future but an extension of the | past. You who are called to leave learning behind are called to |
| T4:12.10 | All you must remember now is that the time of learning is | past. While you are still encountering concerns and questions, you |
| T4:12.11 | vigilant of, dear brothers and sisters, is the learned wisdom of the | past. Let me give you an example that relates to the state of |
| T4:12.18 | Think and speak no more of the suffering of the | past. Spread the joyous news! Tell only joyous stories. Advance the |
| T4:12.18 | allow for all the creativity you have put into challenges of the | past but without the struggle. Let not the idea of struggle take hold |
| T4:12.26 | a foreign land with none of the ways you learned how to adapt in the | past being of service to you. That is how new this is—and more. But |
| T4:12.32 | the future, the time of the creation of a future not based upon the | past. |
| D:2.10 | the modes of learning, even when they seemed to work for you in the | past. That they seemed to work is the illusion that will give way as |
| D:3.2 | It is not a death knell but a call to life. It is not of the | past or the future but of the eternal now. It is within you as we |
| D:5.18 | of your mind and the thoughts that so confuse you, the prison of | past and future and a now that isn’t changing fast enough to suit the |
| D:6.21 | as that of blaming a friend for your hurt feelings, or blaming the | past for the present. And yet, what ridding your mind of ideas of |
| D:8.10 | of the Self. Thus where you have desired to express yourself in the | past is very likely linked to the natural ability or talent you did |
| D:12.15 | as soon as the truth came into your mind, how seldom in the | past you have been sure of anything. You may have been amazed at this |
| D:13.7 | overly concern you as it will not affect you as it did those of the | past because you are living in the time of Christ, a time when no |
| D:14.2 | the Self is far more than you have experienced as yourself in the | past. |
| D:Day2.10 | wish that you had acted differently? Can you see a way to change the | past or to “make up for” what occurred in the past? |
| D:Day2.10 | a way to change the past or to “make up for” what occurred in the | past? |
| D:Day3.19 | you will not feel this, and if you are among those few, do not skip | past this dialogue, but join in so that you understand, as do those |
| D:Day3.49 | now, as opposed to your idea of the wrong-actions of the | past, in order to bring money or abundance flowing to you. All that |
| D:Day4.21 | in the here and now, but to an inaccurate world-view of the | past, of the hereafter, of me, and of God. Not only has your mind |
| D:Day7.20 | present. Realize you may say you are certain of the future or the | past but that you cannot make it so. Thus your ability to maintain |
| D:Day8.16 | consistent 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. |
| D:Day8.17 | of a personal self who had not yet unlearned the lessons of the | past or taken these steps toward elevation. Now, however, it is |
| D:Day8.21 | They will no longer be the source of the misdirection of the | past if you accept your feelings in present time and begin to be |
| D:Day8.26 | keep your true Self hidden. You are used to hiding the self of the | past about whom you are not well pleased, and you are used to hiding |
| D:Day9.1 | of freedom you have experienced there. I am your refuge from the | past, your gate of entry to the present. You have fled the foreign |
| D:Day9.32 | now only because of the consistency with which you did so in the | past. In the past you moved quickly from one learning challenge to |

| D:Day10.14 | Because you believe that your feelings have misled you in the | past, you now still doubt your feelings. Because you have doubted |
| D:Day10.14 | still doubt your feelings. Because you have doubted yourself in the | past, you now still look for reassurances and proof that you are |

| T3:22.8 | closed is the observation of what is. This will relate to the future | pattern of creating that we will speak of more in the next Treatise. |
| T3:22.15 | but that you also might not. Realize that this game of chance is a | pattern of the old thought system that needs to be replaced by |
| T4:2.22 | you separated yourself from relationship with the wholeness of the | pattern of creation. You have believed in God and perhaps in some |
| T4:2.22 | God, or the possibility that your life is a direct experience of the | pattern of unity or oneness that is creation. |
| T4:2.23 | Think of this denial now, for it is still evident in the | pattern of your thinking. We have spoken of this within the text of A |
| T4:3.2 | to do with what cannot be elevated. Vision has to do with the divine | pattern, the unity that binds all living things. Observation is the |
| T4:3.2 | all living things. Observation is the means of seeing this binding | pattern in physical form. |
| T4:4.1 | Everywhere within your world you see the | pattern of life-everlasting. Where there is a pattern of |
| T4:4.1 | your world you see the pattern of life-everlasting. Where there is a | pattern of life-everlasting, there is everlasting life. Means and end |
| T4:4.2 | The | pattern of life-everlasting is one of changing form. It is one that |
| T4:4.2 | and renewal, seasons of growth and seasons of decline. This is the | pattern of creation taken to extremes. Inherent within the extreme is |
| T4:4.2 | was a day of rest spoken of. Creation balanced with rest is the | pattern that has been taken to extremes within your world. You think |
| T4:4.7 | creation. Like begets like. Life begets life. Thus is revealed the | pattern of life-everlasting. |
| T4:4.8 | Changing form is part of the | pattern of life-everlasting. The change in the form you now occupy, |
| T4:4.8 | as that of elevation of the personal self, is a natural part of the | pattern of life-everlasting. It is long over-due. It is long over-due |
| T4:8.11 | you rebelled against God’s original design, the design that is the | pattern of creation. Yet your rebellion was not with God, although |
| T4:8.12 | the constraints of your nature in form thus became part of the | pattern of creation because it was the created’s response. It was |
| T4:12.20 | though you are abiding now in the state of Christ-consciousness, the | pattern of the old thoughts will continue until they are replaced by |
| T4:12.20 | of the old thoughts will continue until they are replaced by a new | pattern. That self-doubt arises in your thought patterns will not |
| T4:12.21 | you share in unity with God. You will be the co-creator of the new | pattern of consciousness that is sharing in unity and relationship, |
| T4:12.21 | in unity and relationship, as you were once the co-creator of the | pattern of consciousness that was learning. |
| T4:12.24 | You now exist within a shared consciousness. The | pattern of a shared consciousness is one of sharing in unity and |
| T4:12.24 | is one of sharing in unity and relationship. There is no | pattern within it for learning (which is individual), for individual |
| T4:12.27 | and what we are speaking of when we talk of patterns. There was a | pattern to the process of learning that was shared by all learners |
| T4:12.27 | inherent to your natures. The means were different for each, but the | pattern was the same. There was an overall design that ensured |
| T4:12.27 | ensured optimal learning and that design was known to you in the | pattern of that design, a pattern that was part of the pattern of |
| T4:12.27 | and that design was known to you in the pattern of that design, a | pattern that was part of the pattern of your thoughts, even after the |
| T4:12.27 | to you in the pattern of that design, a pattern that was part of the | pattern of your thoughts, even after the ego came to rule your |
| T4:12.27 | even after the ego came to rule your thought system. Without this | pattern, the ego could have succeeded in becoming the ruler of the |
| T4:12.27 | in becoming the ruler of the personal 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 continues. The individual or |
| T4:12.28 | appropriate to the time of learning does not continue. Thus the new | pattern is one of creation in relationship and unity rather than |
| T4:12.33 | and space no longer separate us, and the creation of the design or | pattern that reveals our lack of separation is part of the creation |
| D:1.3 | the personal self. As long as you “see” such visions, you “see” the | pattern of the personal self going forth much as it did before. You |
| D:1.15 | not accept what you “know” to be the truth is a continuation of the | pattern of insanity that must be replaced with a pattern of sanity. |
| D:1.15 | continuation of the pattern of insanity that must be replaced with a | pattern of sanity. |

| D:2.4 | Patterns are both learned systems and systems of design. The | pattern of learning was a pattern of divine design, created in unity |
| D:2.4 | learned systems and systems of design. The pattern of learning was a | pattern of divine design, created in unity and cooperation to enable |
| D:2.4 | created in unity and cooperation to enable the return to unity. This | pattern has achieved its desired end and so is no longer needed nor |
| D:2.4 | end and so is no longer needed nor appropriate. While it was once a | pattern whose design was perfect for the desired end, continuation of |
| D:2.4 | whose design was perfect for the desired end, continuation of this | pattern will but interfere with your full acceptance of who you are |
| D:2.5 | An example of a | pattern whose design was perfect for the desired end is that of |
| D:2.11 | If you will examine this | pattern of what you have believed “works for you,” you will find that |
| D:2.11 | “works 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 |
| D:2.11 | or outcome in one instance would tend to be seen as a “successful | pattern,” and would be repeated until such a time as the pattern |
| D:2.11 | “successful pattern,” and would be repeated until such a time as the | pattern failed to achieve the successful grade or outcome in another |
| D:2.12 | concept of trial and error. No sure results are counted on. When a | pattern of thought or behavior has been found to work in more cases |
| D:2.12 | in more cases than not, it is clung to as a “sure thing”—a proven | pattern or way. |
| D:2.14 | desired outcomes. Either way, control is seen as a powerful | pattern. |
| D:2.18 | system that is not foolproof is based on a faulty design, a faulty | pattern. Your misperceptions of the world have allowed for the |
| D:2.19 | to deal fairly with a hostile environment and then to develop a | pattern based on what was learned so that learning would not need to |
| D:2.20 | just tell me what that new way is!” You would say, “Teach me the new | pattern and I will put it into effect.” |
| D:2.21 | What this points out is a | pattern in itself. It is a pattern of reaction rather than cause. It |
| D:2.21 | What this points out is a pattern in itself. It is a | pattern of reaction rather than cause. It is a pattern of looking |
| D:2.21 | in itself. It is a pattern of reaction rather than cause. It is a | pattern of looking without and wondering what to do about what you |
| D:2.21 | without and wondering what to do about what you see rather than a | pattern of changing what you see by looking within. |
| D:4.12 | to the stem of a plant to the workings of the human brain, a divine | pattern is evident and should not be beyond your belief. Despite the |
| D:4.12 | in what you see, think, and feel, there is but one external divine | pattern that created the observable world, and only one internal |
| D:4.12 | that created the observable world, and only one internal divine | pattern that created the internal world. The internal divine pattern |
| D:4.12 | divine pattern that created the internal world. The internal divine | pattern was that of learning. |
| D:4.13 | now entering. Thus far, we are merely working together to create a | pattern of acceptance to replace the pattern of learning. |
| D:4.13 | working together to create a pattern of acceptance to replace the | pattern of learning. |
| D:4.14 | In such a way of thinking, one would take the internal thought | pattern, enhance it with the external pattern, and by seeing the |
| D:4.14 | take the internal thought pattern, enhance it with the external | pattern, and by seeing the unity and cooperation of all, understand |
| D:4.15 | the truth. Some of these systems of thought were part of the divine | pattern. Contrast is one such system. As a learning being, you |
| D:4.16 | Other systems of thought were not part of the divine | pattern. The ego is one such system. It may seem peculiar to think of |
| D:4.16 | falsely believed to be yourself. From this one externalized thought | pattern came most of your false ideas, ideas that made it difficult |
| D:4.18 | has been freed. Let us simply create a new structure around the new | pattern of acceptance, a structure that will provide you with the |
| D:4.24 | “act” of acceptance rather than learning. Turn to this as the new | pattern and to the thought system of giving and receiving as one. Let |
| D:5.5 | example that illustrates how one aspect of what was created in the | pattern of learning, while not being seen in the way it was intended, |
| D:6.14 | new. For in this time of revelation, discovery is the new divine | pattern that will replace the “thought” systems we have spoken of. To |
| D:6.24 | We have talked of but one replacement for the | pattern of learning—the pattern of acceptance. What might the body |
| D:6.24 | have talked of but one replacement for the pattern of learning—the | pattern of acceptance. What might the body be called to accept? This |
| D:7.15 | to be ready to accept revelation works hand in hand with the new | pattern of discovery, but discovery is less time bound. Let me |
| D:9.4 | now, when you have learned all that you are in need of learning, the | pattern, even of your wholeheartedness, remains one of thought. This |
| D:9.4 | pattern, even of your wholeheartedness, remains one of thought. This | pattern is what the new patterns of acceptance and discovery that we |
| D:9.5 | Thought is a practice and a | pattern of the separated and thus learning self. When it was said |
| D:10.1 | ways of knowing that come to you, and through you, outside of the | pattern of learning. |
| D:10.7 | always existed. When put into practice and allowed to replace the | pattern of learning, this way of discovery will be a constant coming |
| D:12.11 | The first is that thinking, with or without the ego, is a | pattern of the separated self and does not serve you. The way in |
| D:12.11 | the ego ruled or may seem only minimally improved, but it is the | pattern, not the ego, that is still with you. The second point is |
| D:17.13 | your wholeheartedness, as well as your desire, has moved beyond the | pattern of thought. |
| D:Day2.3 | your mistakes and poor choices have been reconciled. You can see the | pattern of your life as clearly now as if a masterful biography had |
| D:Day3.14 | you no longer think in such a way, they are there in the learned | pattern and you know this too. They are what prevent you from |
| D:Day3.14 | unable to replace, in application, the false with the true, the | pattern of the false remains. |
| D:Day3.24 | This is the way fears operate. They operate in the | pattern of the ego, a pattern that was learned, a pattern that was |
| D:Day3.24 | is the way fears operate. They operate in the pattern of the ego, a | pattern that was learned, a pattern that was emphasized and |
| D:Day3.24 | operate in the pattern of the ego, a pattern that was learned, a | pattern that was emphasized and reemphasized through external events |
| D:Day3.24 | until this attitude of wanting seemed impossible to unlearn. It is a | pattern of survival, but not of your survival. It is the pattern of |
| D:Day3.24 | It is a pattern of survival, but not of your survival. It is the | pattern of the ego’s survival, and even though the ego is no longer |
| D:Day3.24 | ego’s survival, and even though the ego is no longer with you, the | pattern remains because what you learned, and the way in which you |
| D:Day3.39 | learning through the mind because of your familiarity with the | pattern of learning through the mind, you can perhaps see why these |
| D:Day4.5 | learning has not been a choice. Both as divine design and as a | pattern of the thought system of the ego, learning has been with you |
| D:Day4.5 | design of the time of learning is being recreated, the ceaseless | pattern of learning remains. |
| D:Day5.19 | to desire specifics. This is because you are still entrenched in the | pattern of learning, as your earnest effort to leave effort behind |
| D:Day5.23 | to teach or learn “how to” heal must be thwarted, for if not, the | pattern of learning will remain. This is why there have always seemed |
| D:Day7.5 | You must realize here that the | pattern of learning is now all that is left that can be degenerating |
| D:Day7.5 | not one of support but one of effort. You must accept, now, that the | pattern of learning is an extension of fear and be willing and |
| D:Day7.5 | extension of fear and be willing and vigilant in replacing it with a | pattern of acceptance. I say this because so many of you still do not |
| D:Day8.21 | will prevent you from “reacting” to feelings out of your previous | pattern. |
| D:Day9.32 | just completed a monumental learning challenge and so your natural | pattern would be to keep going now, to use the momentum of this |
| D:Day9.33 | This | pattern will be easily replaced, however, as your acceptance of |
| D:Day18.7 | The truth represented by Jesus and Mary was represented as a visual | pattern that would aide understanding of the invisible. This is what |
| D:Day18.10 | The new visual | pattern is that of spirit resurrected in form. It is the ascension of |
| D:Day18.10 | or elevation of the self of form. You are called to demonstrate this | pattern. The choice is to demonstrate this pattern through |
| D:Day18.10 | to demonstrate this pattern. The choice is to demonstrate this | pattern through interaction with the world, or through incarnation |
| D:Day18.11 | You are called to demonstrate this new visual | pattern. What is meant here by the word demonstrate, is to show your |
| D:Day19.10 | are asked to become. This is an act of incarnation, and is a new | pattern, a pattern of what can be imagined being made real, not |
| D:Day19.10 | to become. This is an act of incarnation, and is a new pattern, a | pattern of what can be imagined being made real, not through doing, |
| D:Day19.13 | by holding open this door to creation. They, in truth, create a new | pattern and begin to weave it into the web of reality, anchoring it |
| D:Day21.2 | This was true even within the | pattern of learning you have been so familiar with, for in order to |
| D:Day21.6 | but made it seem as if some had more and others less. But even the | pattern of learning had as its outcome the sameness of teacher and |
| D:Day25.4 | to come into the practice of letting the new come. It is in the new | pattern of stillness combined with non-resistance that the new will |
| D:Day25.5 | thoughts. Let go your resistance to thoughts that seem of the old | pattern. That you know they are of the old pattern is enough. Let |

| T3:14.3 | in the house of the truth, you are capable of bringing with you old | patterns of behavior. Once the translation of the new thought system |
| T3:14.5 | This is a key idea that will help you immeasurably in leaving behind | patterns of behavior based on the old thought system of fear. Despite |
| T3:14.8 | the new thought system. If you but let go the old, and with it the | patterns of behavior caused by fear, the new will reveal to you all |

| T3:16.8 | related to the intrigue of the challenge and actually be couched in | patterns that have you attempting to “accomplish” set goals in life. |
| T3:16.10 | to gain from some “other.” Again, this will be related to old | patterns of dissatisfaction with the self. It has to do with any |
| T3:16.16 | worked together in the thought system of the ego and created | patterns that caused them to only seem to be intertwined and all |
| T4:2.13 | certain of your Self and in your uncertainty, still subject to the | patterns of thought of the old. Many of these patterns do not concern |
| T4:2.13 | still subject to the patterns of thought of the old. Many of these | patterns do not concern me for they will fall away of themselves as |
| T4:2.14 | It is difficult for you, because of the | patterns of the past, to believe that you are chosen to be the |
| T4:12.10 | way to do so is to, for a short while, be vigilant of your thought | patterns so that you eradicate the idea of learning in separation and |
| T4:12.20 | replaced by a new pattern. That self-doubt arises in your thought | patterns will not mean that you have cause for self-doubt. You have |
| T4:12.21 | imperative creation with which to begin our new work is that of new | patterns. The patterns of old were patterns designed for the optimal |

| T4:12.21 | were patterns designed for the optimal benefit of learning. These | patterns were created by the one mind and heart that you share in |
| T4:12.21 | by the one mind and heart that you share in unity with God. The new | patterns of sharing in unity and relationship and thus creating unity |
| T4:12.23 | you, as a being of singular consciousness, could learn the thought | patterns of a singular consciousness because it was a finite |
| T4:12.27 | that concerns you now and what we are speaking of when we talk of | patterns. There was a pattern to the process of learning that was |
| T4:12.30 | Christ-consciousness, is coming to know the new design, and the new | patterns that reveal the design. This new design, and the new |
| T4:12.30 | new patterns that reveal the design. This new design, and the new | patterns that will be helpful to you in its sustainability, are what |
| T4:12.31 | you are accustomed. It will help us together to establish the new | patterns by which you and those who come after you, will more fully |
| D:2.1 | the work that is being continued here, the work of replacing the old | patterns of learning with the new pattern of acceptance. |
| D:2.3 | The | patterns of the new will begin to arise naturally when you deny the |
| D:2.3 | patterns of the new will begin to arise naturally when you deny the | patterns of the old. As you have been told, you now “know what you |
| D:2.3 | must understand that you do know, and you will know, as soon as the | patterns of old have been denied. Denial is the correct word here, |
| D:2.3 | word here, for I do not want you combating or resisting the old | patterns. Patterns are not in quite the same category as the false |
| D:2.3 | here, for I do not want you combating or resisting the old patterns. | Patterns are not in quite the same category as the false remembering |
| D:2.4 | Patterns are both learned systems and systems of design. The pattern | |
| D:2.9 | It is because the | patterns of old have at times provided you with a false certainty |
| D:2.13 | are often those matters that are beyond your personal control and so | patterns of personal control have become particularly entrenched. |
| D:2.15 | Although they may not have seemed so, all | patterns have had to do with learning because you were, as a |
| D:2.15 | into the self of form, or the elevation of the personal self, new | patterns are needed. |
| D:2.16 | Systems are the result of your attempts to externalize | patterns. Patterns are contained within. Looking at the patterns you |
| D:2.16 | Systems are the result of your attempts to externalize patterns. | Patterns are contained within. Looking at the patterns you have |
| D:2.16 | externalize patterns. Patterns are contained within. Looking at the | patterns you have attempted to externalize can help you to understand |
| D:2.16 | attempted to externalize can help you to understand the nature of | patterns. |
| D:2.19 | would not need to be endlessly repeated. Now these systems and | patterns have become so entrenched that no new learning is seen as |
| D:2.19 | is seen as possible or desirable even though the systems and | patterns are known not to work. In truth, no new learning or new |
| D:2.19 | work. In truth, no new learning or new systems based on the learning | patterns of old will work. Thus we begin anew. |
| D:2.22 | is where you find the power of creation, the power to create the | patterns of the new. Looking within is not an attempt to find the |
| D:3.9 | self in union with all, are the ideas that will allow new | patterns to emerge and the design of the future to be created. These |
| D:3.20 | being? Are your systems life-giving and life-supporting? The | patterns of the new will create only such life-giving and |
| D:3.20 | only such life-giving and life-supporting systems—as long as the | patterns of the new are accepted and lived with your full awareness. |
| D:4.9 | you may recall, are the result of your attempts to externalize the | patterns contained within. Patterns are both of learning and of |
| D:4.9 | of your attempts to externalize the patterns contained within. | Patterns are both of learning and of design. |
| D:4.12 | Divine | patterns are the patterns that made your existence in form possible |
| D:4.12 | Divine patterns are the | patterns that made your existence in form possible as well as the |
| D:4.12 | patterns that made your existence in form possible as well as the | patterns that have made your return to your true identity possible. |
| D:4.12 | that have made your return to your true identity possible. These | patterns are both external and internal. External divine patterns |
| D:4.12 | These patterns are both external and internal. External divine | patterns include the observable forms that make up your world, |
| D:4.13 | The two | patterns, the internal and the external, were created together to |
| D:4.13 | together to exist in a complementary fashion. Both of these divine | patterns are being newly recreated and we will talk much more of them |
| D:4.16 | the learning loop. Obviously these systems, built as they were upon | patterns now being recreated, are part of the old. |
| D:4.17 | Externalized | patterns, or systems, were also built from the systems of thought |
| D:4.18 | That divine universe, our divine existence, is now recreating the | patterns that served the time of learning. What was learned in the |
| D:4.28 | all, draws from the well of divine design. You need not turn to old | patterns or systems to accomplish your release. You can only turn to |
| D:4.28 | release. You can only turn to what is, to what is left now that the | patterns and systems of learning are no longer. |
| D:5.12 | Love and the loving | patterns given in the time of learning are all that exist in all you |
| D:5.12 | are all that exist in all you see. But what now will become of these | patterns that are no longer needed as your learning and that of those |
| D:5.21 | with your being. You will wonder how, if you are done learning, the | patterns of learning will change to help you embrace the acceptance |
| D:7.16 | join with what you observe until your vision is released from old | patterns and guides you more truly. |
| D:8.8 | it was done. But you do not yet know how to rid yourself of former | patterns. Your mind, while it no longer wants to cling to known |
| D:8.8 | patterns. Your mind, while it no longer wants to cling to known | patterns, is confronted with them constantly. Thus your heart still |
| D:9.4 | remains one of thought. This pattern is what the new | patterns of acceptance and discovery that we are beginning to lay out |
| D:9.6 | But your reality has changed, and with that change, new | patterns apply. This does not mean that the truth has changed, but |
| D:12.12 | to become aware and comfortable with the idea that, released of old | patterns, the self will join with unity more and more frequently, |
| D:12.13 | One of the primary ideas that will assist you in leaving | patterns of thinking behind is the idea that thought as we are |
| D:15.1 | principles that govern creation. These principles are like unto the | patterns that were created for your time of learning and that will be |
| D:15.1 | of learning and that will be applied anew to the creation of new | patterns for the new time that is upon us. |
| D:16.16 | It encompasses all of your former ideas about yourself, all of the | patterns of the time of learning, all of the moments in which you |
| D:Day2.2 | You have let go the ego, re-viewed your life, unlearned previous | patterns, and now see the difference between the image you hold of |
| D:Day10.12 | it before than to do something completely new. This is because old | patterns or habits must be done away with before achievement of a new |
| D:Day14.8 | occurs because there are no blocks or boundaries, no holding | patterns, no mental interferences. |
| D:Day17.5 | There have always been individuals who challenged the predominant | patterns of learning because of the strength of their connection to |
| D:Day21.2 | If it did not do so, learning did not occur. In traditional learning | patterns, the wisdom, guidance, or information sought moved from a |
| D:Day28.16 | Most of what is not the truth has been identified as old thought | patterns. This is all that the notion of a giver and a receiver is: |
| D:Day28.17 | Thought | patterns exist within thought systems that have been externalized and |
| E.2 | you not feel it? The questions remain only as questions of the old | patterns of thought, patterns that you need only be aware of before |
| E.2 | questions remain only as questions of the old patterns of thought, | patterns that you need only be aware of before choosing to have them |

| A.32 | Assisting individuals with the recognition of | patterns is also a highly valuable service that facilitators and |

| T1:1.1 | are sought for the union of being with that which will provide for | peace. Knowing not what this is, is the source of conflict and of all |

| T1:7.2 | both. Thus the absence of good health is disease; the absence of | peace is conflict, the absence of truth illusion. This belief does |
| T1:10.1 | Now let me address the issue of the | peace you have been experiencing as well as your reactions to this |
| T1:10.1 | peace you have been experiencing as well as your reactions to this | peace. It is so foreign to each of you that you can’t quite imagine |
| T1:10.1 | that it is what you are supposed to be feeling. There is a core of | peace at the center of your Self now and the issues that you choose |
| T1:10.1 | the issues that you choose to deal with will not affect that core of | peace at all. While you may find this almost disturbing, you will not |
| T1:10.1 | this almost disturbing, you will not go to extremes to break this | peace. |
| T1:10.2 | My | peace is yours. You have asked for it and it has been given to you. |
| T1:10.2 | alive. Whether it 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 |
| T1:10.3 | you will be tempted not to give up. If you can’t be moved from your | peace by the greatest of these experiences, the most profound sorrow |
| T1:10.4 | the human experience. This is what you continue to choose over the | Peace of God. This is not a right or wrong choice but it is a choice. |
| T1:10.5 | the human experience. Now are you willing to use it to choose the | Peace of God instead? Can you wholeheartedly choose peace? Can you |
| T1:10.5 | it to choose the Peace of God instead? Can you wholeheartedly choose | peace? Can you choose peace long enough to become accustomed to joy |
| T1:10.5 | of God instead? Can you wholeheartedly choose peace? Can you choose | peace long enough to become accustomed to joy without sorrow? If you |
| T1:10.6 | a lifetime. 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 |
| T1:10.6 | life and still carry the Peace of God within you. As you live in | peace you can be an example to your brothers and sisters, an example |
| T1:10.7 | up extremes? Yes. You are being asked to give up all that would take | peace from you. But as you have been told before, you will be giving |
| T1:10.7 | not partake and you cannot partake if you are going to carry the | Peace of God within you. |
| T1:10.8 | have been made to God not seeing suffering. God exists with you in | peace. When you feel peace, you feel the Peace of God. There is no |
| T1:10.8 | not seeing suffering. God exists with you in peace. When you feel | peace, you feel the Peace of God. There is no other peace. There is |
| T1:10.8 | God exists with you in peace. When you feel peace, you feel the | Peace of God. There is no other peace. There is no other God. Whether |
| T1:10.8 | When you feel peace, you feel the Peace of God. There is no other | peace. There is no other God. Whether you believe it now or not, I |
| T1:10.8 | 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 human |
| T1:10.10 | events that hold such sway over you that you would choose not the | Peace of God. But look past what you have remembered to what was |
| T1:10.10 | was truly there. No moment of true learning ever arrived without the | Peace of God for without the Peace of God no true learning is |
| T1:10.10 | true learning ever arrived without the Peace of God for without the | Peace of God no true learning is possible. |
| T1:10.11 | you can look forward to rather than back upon if you but choose the | Peace of God. |
| T1:10.12 | further lessons are needed? What quiet knowing cannot come to you in | peace? Why would you believe you can learn from the turmoil of |
| T1:10.12 | you can learn from the turmoil of extremes what you cannot learn in | peace eternal? |
| T1:10.13 | 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 do not pause |
| T1:10.13 | do not pause now and accept that it is here, you will not know the | Peace of God that is your own Self. |
| T1:10.14 | Peace, in whatever way you find it, in whatever expression it takes, | |
| T1:10.14 | use to describe it, is your answer to God and God’s answer to you. | Peace is the inheritance I left you. Peace of body, mind and heart. |
| T1:10.14 | to God and God’s answer to you. Peace is the inheritance I left you. | Peace of body, mind and heart. Peace is the realm of miracles, the |

| T1:10.14 | of heaven, the abode of Christ. Peace has come to you and you to | Peace. |
| T1:10.15 | Now your final instruction is here. You who have found | peace—live in peace. You have been given the Peace of God—go in |

| T2:1.5 | you would soon return to your old ideas of heaven and see | peace as a state of being for those too weary to fully live. Done |
| T2:1.6 | truly learned, is a state of being in which struggle has ceased and | peace has triumphed over chaos, love has triumphed over fear. |
| T2:1.7 | You may still see but two choices: | peace or struggle. But with such an attitude, you would soon be |
| T2:1.7 | with such an attitude, you would soon be struggling to maintain your | peace. There is another choice, and it lies within. |
| T2:1.8 | may have come to be viewed as a place at which you can arrive. Like | peace, it may feel like a bubble of protection, something that sets |
| T2:3.4 | your learning is capable of bringing to your life. You have felt the | peace and love of the embrace. You know that you are experiencing |
| T2:4.9 | two sets of thoughts and feelings exist, the only way to come to | peace with them is through an acceptance of ambiguity. While an |
| T2:4.12 | You who have so recently felt the | peace of true acceptance are not asked to leave that peace to go in |
| T2:4.12 | felt the peace of true acceptance are not asked to leave that | peace to go in search of calling but are rather asked to listen from |
| T2:4.12 | 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 the past and |
| T2:7.8 | Is it not clear how important it is to living in | peace that this pattern be broken? Will you live in peace only until |
| T2:7.8 | is to living in peace that this pattern be broken? Will you live in | peace only until some “other” breaks your peace? Only until some |
| T2:7.8 | broken? Will you live in peace only until some “other” breaks your | peace? Only until some circumstance beyond your control brings an |
| T2:11.4 | You are called to | peace, a peace that begins and ends with ceasing to do battle with |

| T3:11.3 | These words, truth and | peace and love, are interchangeable in the House of Truth as their |
| T3:11.6 | I was aware of the truth and lived by the truth. I was aware of the | Peace of God and lived within the Peace of God. I was aware of the |

| T3:11.7 | do: Be aware that the love of God lives within you. Live within the | Peace of God. Live by the truth. |
| T3:11.8 | This could be restated as you are love, you live in | peace, you live by or in accord with the truth. |
| T3:11.9 | the Kingdom of God the House of Truth rather than the House of | Peace for a reason. What you are learning is no longer that the |
| T3:12.10 | itself from within the House of Truth in ways consistent with | peace and love is the next step in creation, the rebirth of the Son |
| T3:13.2 | human experience, saying that these things that draw you from the | peace of God draw you from the state in which you are aware of who |
| T3:13.2 | to God during such times, you will not be dwelling within the | peace of God. Your Self and God will be but memories to you while |
| T3:14.2 | of some others, accept your current status and begin to feel more | peace and joy within it. If you are not well, you may cope more |

| T3:15.11 | teaches that love cannot be learned. I have said here that love, | peace, and truth are interchangeable ideas within the new thought |
| T3:15.18 | hardly empty-handed. The truth goes with you as does the love and | peace of God. |
| T3:18.6 | observe health rather than disease, abundance rather than poverty, | peace rather than conflict, happiness rather than sadness—disease, |
| T3:18.10 | You can observe by having an idea of another’s health, abundance, | peace, and happiness. You can observe this within yourself because it |

| T3:20.14 | the world. But I call to you from peace and ask for you to remain in | peace with me and let not the suffering of the world call you from |
| T3:20.14 | it. When these things of the world threaten to call you from your | peace, you must remind yourself that it is only from within the Peace |
| T3:20.14 | your peace, you must remind yourself that it is only from within the | Peace of God that your wholeheartedness and our unity is accomplished. |
| T4:12.13 | and should not last? That lasting contentment, like unto a lasting | peace, would somehow stunt your growth? Can you see that your idea of |
| D:9.3 | allow you to be who you truly are, end your confusion, and give you | peace to usher in the new. |

| T1:3.11 | As great as the fear of miracles is, the fear of not being able to | perform is greater. You think of this as a test and one you can pass |

| D:Day2.17 | to believe that by following me you will not walk in my footsteps. | Perhaps you will be granted eternal life, but not until you have |
| D:Day3.18 | any anger now, pay attention to its effect on you. You can feel, | perhaps, the strain and tension in your stomach, back and neck. |

| D:Day4.25 | available to you, even within your religious institutions. You feel, | perhaps, that you did not try hard enough, or pay enough attention to |
| D:Day5.2 | For each of you this access point will in truth be the same, but | perhaps quite different in the action which you use in order to enter |

| D:Day19.1 | manifest in the world. In other words, you know not what to do. You | perhaps see no “specific” accomplishment in your future, but see |
| D:Day19.1 | in the world and accomplish certain functions within the world. You | perhaps feel function-less and purposeless at times, while at other |

| D:Day20.4 | When you read what has been written here, you | perhaps think this is a contradiction, for surely you have been told |

| D:Day20.4 | The way in which you are hearing and responding to these truths is | perhaps new, but that way too is of the human being receiving it, in |
| D:Day21.6 | itself is a channel and that you are constantly receiving. You still | perhaps think in terms of receiving meaning that there is something |
| D:Day22.2 | been used to indicate an intermediary function. The channeler was | perhaps seen as a mediator between the living and the dead or the |
| D:Day32.5 | You might think of God granting free will to His creations. Then, | perhaps, you might think of God resting, or standing back and |

| C:20.19 | and exists along with you? And is the you who shed such tears a | personal being? A thing? A mass of flesh and bone? Or are you, like |
| C:20.19 | Or are you, like the world you cry for, devoid of thingness and a | personal self? And when you have leapt for joy at the world’s beauty, |
| C:20.24 | Forget yourself and memory will return to you. Beyond your | personal self and the identity you have given your personal self is |

| C:20.47 | You must understand that when you think of your personal life, | personal concerns, personal relationships, you are separating |
| C:20.47 | that when you think of your personal life, personal concerns, | personal relationships, you are separating yourself from the whole. |
| C:20.47 | everything. You cannot effect world peace. You can barely keep your | personal concerns in order. Your effort to do so is all that stands |
| C:22.18 | is what we are talking of here, the finding of a definition, a | personal meaning. Can you see the difference? |
| C:22.19 | The | personal and individual is the “I” we are dispelling. Think a moment |
| C:22.19 | small “I.” “I saw.” “I felt.” “I thought.” “I did.” The individual, | personal, separated self is at the center of all such stories. One |
| C:22.20 | you. Begin to imagine seeing the world without the emphasis on your | personal self. Begin to form sentences and eventually to tell stories |
| C:22.22 | This removal of the | personal “I” is but a first step to returning you to the |
| C:22.23 | exists within your world rather than as the small and insignificant | personal self you generally accept as your “self.” By eliminating the |
| C:22.23 | self you generally accept as your “self.” By eliminating the | personal, the universal becomes available. As the universal becomes |
| C:22.23 | As the universal becomes available, you will have no desire for the | personal. Even so, you will find that what you consider your |
| C:23.10 | of the body, which is an extension, in form, of your belief in the | personal “I.” |
| C:25.16 | This first joining is a choice made from love without regard for the | personal self. You begin to live from love when the personal self |
| C:25.16 | regard for the personal self. You begin to live from love when the | personal self gets out of the way. And when the personal self gets |

| C:27.5 | another as a function of the divine. You become confused between the | personal self and a true Self only because you have not as yet |

| C:28.4 | brought about by innocence more so than by wisdom. This sharing of | personal testimony has reached its zenith and will no longer be as |
| C:31.2 | of a higher order, or spiritual thought. Thoughts related to your | personal self and the “laws” of the body, such as those of survival, |
| T2:13.1 | of this Treatise is, in contrast to those put forth previously, a | personal call from me to you. By now you have seen that your fears of |
| T2:13.2 | Self. Now that you have been made ready, it is time for us to have a | personal relationship. We have, within these lessons, taken you far |
| T2:13.2 | relationship. We have, within these lessons, taken you far from your | personal self, and I, as your teacher, have all but discounted the |
| T2:13.2 | personal self, and I, as your teacher, have all but discounted the | personal self I experience in relationship with you. Now, in unity, |
| T2:13.2 | in relationship with you. Now, in unity, we are ready to be | personal again. |
| T2:13.3 | While the | personal self is the subject of the next Treatise, this is my |
| T2:13.3 | this is my invitation to you, specifically, to enter into a holy and | personal relationship with me, specifically. While you are here, you |
| T2:13.6 | in a mantle of peace and joy. Let who you are shine through the | personal self who continues to walk this world a while longer. Listen |
| T3:1.1 | The | personal self exists as the self you present to others. This is the |
| T3:1.1 | as the self you present to others. This is the only way in which the | personal self will continue to exist following the completion and the |
| T3:1.1 | the completion and the integration of this Course. Previously, the | personal self that you presented to others represented an ego-self |
| T3:1.1 | you believed yourself to be. Now the ego has been separated from the | personal self so that you may claim your personal self again and |
| T3:1.1 | has been separated from the personal self so that you may claim your | personal self again and present to others a true representation of |
| T3:1.4 | the truth reveals only illusion and becomes illusion. Thus, as your | personal self becomes a representation of the truth it will become |
| T3:1.6 | I say that you have represented the ego, what I mean is that the | personal self, as represented by your body, while adhering to the |
| T3:1.8 | I began this Treatise by saying that the | personal self exists as the self you present to others and that this |
| T3:1.8 | you present to others and that this is the only way in which the | personal self will now continue to exist. This statement implies and |
| T3:1.8 | This statement implies and acknowledges your previous belief in a | personal self who existed as more than a representation. While when |
| T3:1.9 | coming about has to do with awareness. When you become aware of the | personal self as a representation, you become aware of the Self whom |
| T3:1.9 | self as a representation, you become aware of the Self whom the | personal self is representing. To have believed that the personal |
| T3:1.9 | whom the personal self is representing. To have believed that the | personal self, as a representation of the ego, was who you were, was |
| T3:1.10 | To say that the | personal self will now exist only as the self you present to others |
| T3:1.10 | now exist only as the self you present to others is to say that the | personal self will now cease to be seen as your reality. |
| T3:1.11 | To say that the | personal self has only existed as the self you presented to others in |
| T3:1.11 | quite a different statement and has a totally different meaning. The | personal self you once presented to others as “who you were” was a |
| T3:1.11 | and that the self of the present made up the self of the future. The | personal self you presented to others in the past was a chosen self |
| T3:1.11 | as evidenced by the variety of selves you saw yourself to be. The | personal self of the past was a self of roles, each one as learned as |
| T3:1.12 | has abolished the ego-self and allows us to begin the lessons of the | personal self. |
| T3:1.13 | been unable, without the lessons of this Course, to distinguish the | personal self from the ego-self. There is a danger even now in |
| T3:2.6 | blameless. It is from this blameless or unaltered state that your | personal self can begin to represent the truth for it leaves untruth, |
| T3:2.10 | you await is an idea, a remembrance of the original idea about your | personal self. |
| T3:3.1 | Your | personal self is dear to you and dear to me as well. I have always |
| T3:3.1 | you have always been. Here is where you need realize that the | personal self that is dear to you is not your ego-self and never has |
| T3:3.2 | All of your | personal characteristics are nothing more than a persona that has |
| T3:5.7 | was a gift meant to empty the world of the ego-self and to allow the | personal self to live on as the one true Self, the one true son of |
| T3:8.4 | into this category. Bitterness is an idea intrinsically tied to the | personal self and the experience of the personal self. Whether you |
| T3:8.4 | intrinsically tied to the personal self and the experience of the | personal self. Whether you believe the personal self is comprised of |
| T3:8.4 | and the experience of the personal self. Whether you believe the | personal self is comprised of the one identity you now hold or the |
| T3:11.1 | stated as those who exist in the house of illusion are aware of the | personal self alone and believe the personal self to be who they are. |
| T3:11.1 | of illusion are aware of the personal self alone and believe the | personal self to be who they are. Further, they believe the personal |
| T3:11.1 | the personal self to be who they are. Further, they believe the | personal self to be the truth of the statement, “I am.” |
| T3:11.2 | they no longer feel the statement of “I am” as a statement of the | personal self or the self alone. For those existing in the House of |
| T3:11.4 | The house of illusion is a construction meant to shield the | personal self from all that it would fear. The House of Truth is the |
| T3:11.16 | remembered the truth of who you are, you are called to forget the | personal self who would find this cause for righteousness. You are |
| T3:12.1 | the creation of the Self. The Self preceded the establishment of the | personal self. |
| T3:12.2 | You exist within the time of consciousness of the | personal self. Thus we begin our work with the personal self while |
| T3:12.2 | consciousness of the personal self. Thus we begin our work with the | personal self while also realizing that the personal self is a step |
| T3:12.2 | begin our work with the personal self while also realizing that the | personal self is a step in the chain of consciousness. The steps that |
| T3:12.2 | the chain of consciousness. The steps that came before that of the | personal self did not come within time. The creation of time was |
| T3:12.2 | time. The creation of time was simultaneous with the creation of the | personal self. Because the steps that came before that of the |
| T3:12.2 | of the personal self. Because the steps that came before that of the | personal self did not come in time, they are eternal, eternal levels |
| T3:12.3 | remove the time-bound temptations of the human experience of the | personal self. |
| T3:12.4 | cannot be bound by time and be a House of Truth. How then can the | personal self begin to realize the human experience outside of time? |
| T3:12.4 | of time? The answer is thus: by changing the consciousness of the | personal self from a time-bound state of consciousness to an eternal |
| T3:12.9 | became a life of suffering and strife only because the physical or | personal self forgot that it exists in relationship and believed |
| T3:13.2 | so cause you to be aware only of a self of human experience, or a | personal self. While you may still feel a connection to God during |
| T3:13.2 | while your reality remains that of the physical experience and the | personal self. In such times you can conceive only of a God outside |
| T3:13.14 | or images originating from the Self and being represented by the | personal self. It is only in this way that the personal self will be |
| T3:13.14 | represented by the personal self. It is only in this way that the | personal self will be able to represent the Self in truth. |
| T3:21.6 | Your | personal self exists in illusion. It is called a personal self |
| T3:21.6 | Your personal self exists in illusion. It is called a | personal self because it is attached to a person. A person is a being |
| T3:21.7 | The only means for the | personal self and the true Self to exist together is for the truth to |
| T3:21.10 | this Course has disproved. This identity has been seen as your | personal self. Thus your personal self is the only place in which you |
| T3:21.10 | This identity has been seen as your personal self. Thus your | personal self is the only place in which you have experience that can |
| T3:21.11 | things upon which you draw to feel the certainty you feel about your | personal self. You identify yourself as male or female, married or |
| T3:21.11 | Chinese or Lebanese or American, black or white or Indian. Your | personal self may be deeply affected by these things you call |
| T3:21.12 | as often been considered as part of what makes you certain of your | personal self, are the thoughts of your mind, thoughts that while |
| T3:21.13 | things as part of what make up the totality of who you are, of your | personal self. |
| T3:21.14 | So it can be seen that there are several aspects to your | personal self: a historical aspect, an aspect we will call |
| T3:21.15 | yourself or not, they exist. Your world-view, and your view of your | personal self, are inextricably bound together. In other words, the |
| T3:21.16 | understanding or knowing your brothers and sisters, those whose | personal selves and world view cannot help but be different than your |
| T3:21.17 | to accept your true identity even while you retain the form of your | personal self. As your true identity is that of a Self who exists in |
| T3:21.17 | is that of a Self who exists in unity and the identity of your | personal self is that of a self who exists in separation, this would |
| T3:21.18 | Thus, certain things about your | personal self must be accepted as aspects of your form and cease to |
| T3:21.18 | time while you carry observance forward into observance of your | personal self. As was said at the beginning of this Treatise, by the |
| T3:21.18 | Treatise, by the time the learning of this Treatise is complete, the | personal self will continue to exist only as the self you present to |
| T3:21.20 | answer. One is that your certainty regarding the identity of your | personal self will be useful as that certainty is translated to the |
| T3:21.21 | The world is quite simply bigger now and the identities of your | personal selves split by far more than history and far more than the |
| T3:21.22 | seen. What I am saying is that you can remain confident in your | personal self, knowing that your personal self will serve those you |
| T3:21.22 | you can remain confident in your personal self, knowing that your | personal self will serve those you are meant to serve. What you have |
| T3:21.24 | addressed and seen as it relates to the relationship between the | personal self and the Self; the truth and its representation and |
| T3:22.4 | Since your | personal self was always meant to represent the truth of who you are, |
| T3:22.9 | within you. You are ready to be done with the concerns of the | personal self, and your attention has begun to wander from this topic |
| T3:22.10 | the realization will come to you that you are ready to leave the | personal self and the concerns of the personal self behind. You have |
| T3:22.10 | you are ready to leave the personal self and the concerns of the | personal self behind. You have needed to become bored with what has |
| T3:22.10 | has been, tired of the way things were, uninterested in matters of a | personal nature. This very readiness is what I now call your |
| T3:22.16 | with the old and the observation, the final observation, of the | personal self. You have created your personal self, and only you can |
| T3:22.16 | the final observation, of the personal self. You have created your | personal self, and only you can look upon this personal self with the |
| T3:22.16 | You have created your personal self, and only you can look upon this | personal self with the vision of creation, creating the personal self |
| T3:22.16 | upon this personal self with the vision of creation, creating the | personal self anew, seeing within it all that will serve the new, and |
| T3:22.17 | Observe the | personal self with one last act of love and devotion, and in so doing |
| T3:22.17 | one last act of love and devotion, and in so doing transform the | personal self into a representation of the truth. Realize that what |
| T3:22.17 | eyes” observation is really the observation of a Self beyond the | personal self. To call forth observance is to call forth the sight of |
| T4:1.12 | As was said within “A Treatise on the | Personal Self,” even the house of illusion is held within the embrace |
| T4:1.16 | As was said within “A Treatise on the | Personal Self,” all notions of blame must be gone from you. Thus, you |
| T4:1.22 | for the new. It is what has caused your growing impatience with the | personal self, with acquiring all that your new learning in science |
| T4:2.10 | the definition of observation provided in “A Treatise on the | Personal Self.” |
| T4:3.2 | but not the same. Observation has to do with the elevation of the | personal self. Vision has to do with what cannot be elevated. Vision |
| T4:3.3 | The | personal self is still in need of being elevated—elevated to its |
| T4:3.4 | form. This original intent or cause formed the true nature of the | personal self capable of being observed in relationship. The |
| T4:3.4 | it did not change the original cause, formed a false nature for the | personal self. This displacement of the original intent can be simply |
| T4:3.9 | vision, the vision of love. What is new is the elevation of the | personal self that will be caused by the return of your natural state |
| T4:3.10 | exists within it truly. Observation will allow you to elevate the | personal self to its rightful place within the nature of a world of |
| T4:4.8 | now occupy, the change I have spoken of as that of elevation of the | personal self, is a natural part of the pattern of life-everlasting. |
| T4:4.16 | believe that you are mortal is to believe that you must die to the | personal self of form in order to be reborn as a true Self. This is |
| T4:4.16 | The joining of heart and mind in relationship is the joining of the | personal self with the true Self in the reality in which you exist |
| T4:5.13 | Christ-consciousness and direct revelation. The elevation of the | personal self in this time of Christ can be the new choice. |

| T4:12.27 | pattern, the ego could have succeeded in becoming the ruler of the | personal self. Part of this design and pattern was the freedom of |
| T4:12.32 | me a teacher and you a student. The answers to the elevation of the | personal self and the living of Christ-consciousness in form are yet |
| D:1.2 | to represent with your physical form. I come to you today not as a | personal self who is “other” than you, but as a divine Self who is |
| D:1.3 | What this means in practical terms is that you let the | personal self step back and the true Self step forward. Realize that |
| D:1.3 | step forward. Realize that all of your “concerns” are still for the | personal self, a self whom you continue to believe can fail to |

| D:1.3 | personal self in the forefront rather than allowing and aiding the | personal self in the stepping back that is required in order for the |

| D:2.22 | the new. Looking within is not an attempt to find the answers of the | personal self of old, the separated self who depended on learned |

| D:4.5 | those who are incarcerated there. Each of you has had an imprisoned | personal self. Each of you who have entered Christ-consciousness has |
| D:5.3 | world to its true representation. As was said in “A Treatise on the | Personal Self”, there is a huge difference between a true |
| D:6.24 | the body to accept the indwelling of Christ. You have replaced the | personal self, the self of learning, with the true Self. You have |
| D:9.10 | meant to lead beyond the need for beliefs, and “A Treatise on the | Personal Self” meant to lead beyond the personal self. Thus the |
| D:9.10 | and “A Treatise on the Personal Self” meant to lead beyond the | personal self. Thus the Treatises were not inconsistent with our aims |
| D:10.1 | What is found outside of the boundary of the | personal self in the wider circle of unity is timeless. What comes to |
| D:10.3 | the self of separation, the Self of elevated form rather than the | personal self. |
| D:10.4 | to think of this in any other way will leave you with no individual, | personal accomplishment, nothing to be proud of, nothing to call your |
| D:10.6 | to “Go forth and multiply.” It is about increase. To be content with | personal or individual understanding or experience of what is given |
| D:11.16 | that arise from the well of spirit. To seek importance for the | personal self would be akin to placing the importance of Jesus on the |
| D:12.18 | Some of you will have credited your | personal or individual self with the “figuring out” of this truth. |
| D:12.18 | this coming to know of the truth wasn’t quite “of” the “you” of the | personal self. |
| D:13.8 | is all you have known. This perceived state is synonymous with the | personal self, with the idea of individuality, with separate |

| D:Day10.13 | the feelings of the personal self. This is because your image of the | personal self is based on the past and the feelings of the past. This |
| D:Day10.13 | and the feelings of the past. This is also because your image of the | personal self is a mental construct, and not a simple mental |

| T3:1.1 | as the self you present to others. This is the only way in which the | personal self will continue to exist following the completion and the |
| T3:1.1 | the completion and the integration of this Course. Previously, the | personal self that you presented to others represented an ego-self |
| T3:1.1 | you believed yourself to be. Now the ego has been separated from the | personal self so that you may claim your personal self again and |
| T3:1.1 | has been separated from the personal self so that you may claim your | personal self again and present to others a true representation of |
| T3:1.4 | the truth reveals only illusion and becomes illusion. Thus, as your | personal self becomes a representation of the truth it will become |
| T3:1.6 | I say that you have represented the ego, what I mean is that the | personal self, as represented by your body, while adhering to the |
| T3:1.8 | I began this Treatise by saying that the | personal self exists as the self you present to others and that this |
| T3:1.8 | you present to others and that this is the only way in which the | personal self will now continue to exist. This statement implies and |
| T3:1.8 | This statement implies and acknowledges your previous belief in a | personal self who existed as more than a representation. While when |
| T3:1.9 | coming about has to do with awareness. When you become aware of the | personal self as a representation, you become aware of the Self whom |
| T3:1.9 | self as a representation, you become aware of the Self whom the | personal self is representing. To have believed that the personal |
| T3:1.9 | whom the personal self is representing. To have believed that the | personal self, as a representation of the ego, was who you were, was |
| T3:1.10 | To say that the | personal self will now exist only as the self you present to others |
| T3:1.10 | now exist only as the self you present to others is to say that the | personal self will now cease to be seen as your reality. |
| T3:1.11 | To say that the | personal self has only existed as the self you presented to others in |
| T3:1.11 | quite a different statement and has a totally different meaning. The | personal self you once presented to others as “who you were” was a |
| T3:1.11 | and that the self of the present made up the self of the future. The | personal self you presented to others in the past was a chosen self |
| T3:1.11 | as evidenced by the variety of selves you saw yourself to be. The | personal self of the past was a self of roles, each one as learned as |
| T3:1.12 | has abolished the ego-self and allows us to begin the lessons of the | personal self. |
| T3:1.13 | been unable, without the lessons of this Course, to distinguish the | personal self from the ego-self. There is a danger even now in |
| T3:2.6 | blameless. It is from this blameless or unaltered state that your | personal self can begin to represent the truth for it leaves untruth, |
| T3:2.10 | you await is an idea, a remembrance of the original idea about your | personal self. |
| T3:3.1 | Your | personal self is dear to you and dear to me as well. I have always |
| T3:3.1 | you have always been. Here is where you need realize that the | personal self that is dear to you is not your ego-self and never has |
| T3:5.7 | was a gift meant to empty the world of the ego-self and to allow the | personal self to live on as the one true Self, the one true son of |
| T3:8.4 | into this category. Bitterness is an idea intrinsically tied to the | personal self and the experience of the personal self. Whether you |
| T3:8.4 | intrinsically tied to the personal self and the experience of the | personal self. Whether you believe the personal self is comprised of |
| T3:8.4 | and the experience of the personal self. Whether you believe the | personal self is comprised of the one identity you now hold or the |
| T3:11.1 | stated as those who exist in the house of illusion are aware of the | personal self alone and believe the personal self to be who they are. |
| T3:11.1 | of illusion are aware of the personal self alone and believe the | personal self to be who they are. Further, they believe the personal |
| T3:11.1 | the personal self to be who they are. Further, they believe the | personal self to be the truth of the statement, “I am.” |
| T3:11.2 | they no longer feel the statement of “I am” as a statement of the | personal self or the self alone. For those existing in the House of |
| T3:11.4 | The house of illusion is a construction meant to shield the | personal self from all that it would fear. The House of Truth is the |
| T3:11.16 | remembered the truth of who you are, you are called to forget the | personal self who would find this cause for righteousness. You are |
| T3:12.1 | the creation of the Self. The Self preceded the establishment of the | personal self. |
| T3:12.2 | You exist within the time of consciousness of the | personal self. Thus we begin our work with the personal self while |
| T3:12.2 | consciousness of the personal self. Thus we begin our work with the | personal self while also realizing that the personal self is a step |
| T3:12.2 | begin our work with the personal self while also realizing that the | personal self is a step in the chain of consciousness. The steps that |
| T3:12.2 | the chain of consciousness. The steps that came before that of the | personal self did not come within time. The creation of time was |
| T3:12.2 | time. The creation of time was simultaneous with the creation of the | personal self. Because the steps that came before that of the |
| T3:12.2 | of the personal self. Because the steps that came before that of the | personal self did not come in time, they are eternal, eternal levels |
| T3:12.3 | remove the time-bound temptations of the human experience of the | personal self. |
| T3:12.4 | cannot be bound by time and be a House of Truth. How then can the | personal self begin to realize the human experience outside of time? |
| T3:12.4 | of time? The answer is thus: by changing the consciousness of the | personal self from a time-bound state of consciousness to an eternal |
| T3:12.9 | became a life of suffering and strife only because the physical or | personal self forgot that it exists in relationship and believed |
| T3:13.2 | so cause you to be aware only of a self of human experience, or a | personal self. While you may still feel a connection to God during |
| T3:13.2 | while your reality remains that of the physical experience and the | personal self. In such times you can conceive only of a God outside |
| T3:13.14 | or images originating from the Self and being represented by the | personal self. It is only in this way that the personal self will be |
| T3:13.14 | represented by the personal self. It is only in this way that the | personal self will be able to represent the Self in truth. |
| T3:21.6 | Your | personal self exists in illusion. It is called a personal self |
| T3:21.6 | Your personal self exists in illusion. It is called a | personal self because it is attached to a person. A person is a being |
| T3:21.7 | The only means for the | personal self and the true Self to exist together is for the truth to |
| T3:21.10 | this Course has disproved. This identity has been seen as your | personal self. Thus your personal self is the only place in which you |
| T3:21.10 | This identity has been seen as your personal self. Thus your | personal self is the only place in which you have experience that can |
| T3:21.11 | things upon which you draw to feel the certainty you feel about your | personal self. You identify yourself as male or female, married or |
| T3:21.11 | Chinese or Lebanese or American, black or white or Indian. Your | personal self may be deeply affected by these things you call |
| T3:21.12 | as often been considered as part of what makes you certain of your | personal self, are the thoughts of your mind, thoughts that while |
| T3:21.13 | things as part of what make up the totality of who you are, of your | personal self. |
| T3:21.14 | So it can be seen that there are several aspects to your | personal self: a historical aspect, an aspect we will call |
| T3:21.15 | yourself or not, they exist. Your world-view, and your view of your | personal self, are inextricably bound together. In other words, the |
| T3:21.17 | to accept your true identity even while you retain the form of your | personal self. As your true identity is that of a Self who exists in |
| T3:21.17 | is that of a Self who exists in unity and the identity of your | personal self is that of a self who exists in separation, this would |
| T3:21.18 | Thus, certain things about your | personal self must be accepted as aspects of your form and cease to |
| T3:21.18 | time while you carry observance forward into observance of your | personal self. As was said at the beginning of this Treatise, by the |
| T3:21.18 | Treatise, by the time the learning of this Treatise is complete, the | personal self will continue to exist only as the self you present to |
| T3:21.20 | answer. One is that your certainty regarding the identity of your | personal self will be useful as that certainty is translated to the |
| T3:21.22 | seen. What I am saying is that you can remain confident in your | personal self, knowing that your personal self will serve those you |
| T3:21.22 | you can remain confident in your personal self, knowing that your | personal self will serve those you are meant to serve. What you have |
| T3:21.24 | addressed and seen as it relates to the relationship between the | personal self and the Self; the truth and its representation and |
| T3:22.4 | Since your | personal self was always meant to represent the truth of who you are, |
| T3:22.9 | within you. You are ready to be done with the concerns of the | personal self, and your attention has begun to wander from this topic |
| T3:22.10 | the realization will come to you that you are ready to leave the | personal self and the concerns of the personal self behind. You have |
| T3:22.10 | you are ready to leave the personal self and the concerns of the | personal self behind. You have needed to become bored with what has |
| T3:22.16 | with the old and the observation, the final observation, of the | personal self. You have created your personal self, and only you can |
| T3:22.16 | the final observation, of the personal self. You have created your | personal self, and only you can look upon this personal self with the |
| T3:22.16 | You have created your personal self, and only you can look upon this | personal self with the vision of creation, creating the personal self |
| T3:22.16 | upon this personal self with the vision of creation, creating the | personal self anew, seeing within it all that will serve the new, and |
| T3:22.17 | Observe the | personal self with one last act of love and devotion, and in so doing |
| T3:22.17 | one last act of love and devotion, and in so doing transform the | personal self into a representation of the truth. Realize that what |
| T3:22.17 | eyes” observation is really the observation of a Self beyond the | personal self. To call forth observance is to call forth the sight of |
| T4:1.12 | As was said within “A Treatise on the | Personal Self,” even the house of illusion is held within the embrace |
| T4:1.16 | As was said within “A Treatise on the | Personal Self,” all notions of blame must be gone from you. Thus, you |
| T4:1.22 | for the new. It is what has caused your growing impatience with the | personal self, with acquiring all that your new learning in science |
| T4:2.10 | the definition of observation provided in “A Treatise on the | Personal Self.” |
| T4:3.2 | but not the same. Observation has to do with the elevation of the | personal self. Vision has to do with what cannot be elevated. Vision |
| T4:3.3 | The | personal self is still in need of being elevated—elevated to its |
| T4:3.4 | form. This original intent or cause formed the true nature of the | personal self capable of being observed in relationship. The |
| T4:3.4 | it did not change the original cause, formed a false nature for the | personal self. This displacement of the original intent can be simply |
| T4:3.9 | vision, the vision of love. What is new is the elevation of the | personal self that will be caused by the return of your natural state |
| T4:3.10 | exists within it truly. Observation will allow you to elevate the | personal self to its rightful place within the nature of a world of |
| T4:4.8 | now occupy, the change I have spoken of as that of elevation of the | personal self, is a natural part of the pattern of life-everlasting. |
| T4:4.16 | believe that you are mortal is to believe that you must die to the | personal self of form in order to be reborn as a true Self. This is |
| T4:4.16 | The joining of heart and mind in relationship is the joining of the | personal self with the true Self in the reality in which you exist |
| T4:5.13 | Christ-consciousness and direct revelation. The elevation of the | personal self in this time of Christ can be the new choice. |
| T4:9.7 | have you been made ready finally to be loosed of the bounds of the | personal self. This time of concentration on the self is unheralded |
| T4:12.25 | return of unity! Pause a moment here, and celebrate this feat of the | personal self! The personal self, through the self-centeredness of |
| T4:12.25 | a moment here, and celebrate this feat of the personal self! The | personal self, through the self-centeredness of the final stages of |
| T4:12.27 | pattern, the ego could have succeeded in becoming the ruler of the | personal self. Part of this design and pattern was the freedom of |
| T4:12.32 | me a teacher and you a student. The answers to the elevation of the | personal self and the living of Christ-consciousness in form are yet |
| D:1.2 | to represent with your physical form. I come to you today not as a | personal self who is “other” than you, but as a divine Self who is |
| D:1.3 | What this means in practical terms is that you let the | personal self step back and the true Self step forward. Realize that |
| D:1.3 | step forward. Realize that all of your “concerns” are still for the | personal self, a self whom you continue to believe can fail to |
| D:1.3 | of intelligence—through lack, in other words, of abilities of the | personal self. As long as you “see” such visions, you “see” the |
| D:1.3 | As long as you “see” such visions, you “see” the pattern of the | personal self going forth much as it did before. You do not “see” the |
| D:1.3 | of the elevated Self. As long as you see in this way, you keep the | personal self in the forefront rather than allowing and aiding the |
| D:1.3 | personal self in the forefront rather than allowing and aiding the | personal self in the stepping back that is required in order for the |
| D:1.7 | This acceptance is crucial to the elevation of the | personal self. Without this acceptance the personal self must still |
| D:1.7 | to the elevation of the personal self. Without this acceptance the | personal self must still struggle and try, prepare and plan. It does |
| D:1.8 | This is the final surrender. The surrender of the control of the | personal self. Even with the ego gone, the personal self can continue |
| D:1.8 | of the control of the personal self. Even with the ego gone, the | personal self can continue to move about within the world, a faceless |
| D:1.10 | but the true Self has not been allowed as yet to dwell within the | personal self, thus elevating the personal self. You have thus been |
| D:1.10 | allowed as yet to dwell within the personal self, thus elevating the | personal self. You have thus been self-less for a time and the |
| D:1.10 | the personal self. You have thus been self-less for a time and the | personal self has floundered from this lack of identity. A person |
| D:1.10 | during this time from lack of identity, lack of cause. To die to the | personal self is not what is required any longer as we work instead |
| D:1.10 | is not what is required any longer as we work instead to elevate the | personal self. This elevation occurs through the acceptance of your |
| D:1.14 | I am no longer the | personal self who was separate and alone. I am my Christ Self. I |
| D:1.17 | further learning is not what will complete the transformation of the | personal self to the elevated Self. Learning will not sustain |
| D:2.15 | of your true identity into the self of form, or the elevation of the | personal self, new patterns are needed. |
| D:2.22 | the new. Looking within is not an attempt to find the answers of the | personal self of old, the separated self who depended on learned |
| D:3.12 | consciousness is the truth of who you are. The elevation of the | personal self, however, requires that this giving and receiving as |
| D:4.5 | those who are incarcerated there. Each of you has had an imprisoned | personal self. Each of you who have entered Christ-consciousness has |
| D:6.24 | the body to accept the indwelling of Christ. You have replaced the | personal self, the self of learning, with the true Self. You have |
| D:9.10 | and “A Treatise on the Personal Self” meant to lead beyond the | personal self. Thus the Treatises were not inconsistent with our aims |
| D:10.1 | What is found outside of the boundary of the | personal self in the wider circle of unity is timeless. What comes to |
| D:10.3 | the self of separation, the Self of elevated form rather than the | personal self. |
| D:11.16 | that arise from the well of spirit. To seek importance for the | personal self would be akin to placing the importance of Jesus on the |
| D:12.18 | this coming to know of the truth wasn’t quite “of” the “you” of the | personal self. |
| D:13.8 | is all you have known. This perceived state is synonymous with the | personal self, with the idea of individuality, with separate |
| D:16.17 | This is only an image. This is not your | personal self, your ego self, or your separated self, come to reclaim |
| D:Day8.17 | of your heart. It would have been to accept the feelings of a | personal self who had not yet unlearned the lessons of the past or |
| D:Day10.13 | to our discussion of image versus presence and to the image of your | personal self that was discussed at the beginning of our dialogue. |
| D:Day10.13 | the beginning of our dialogue. While you still hold an image of your | personal self, you still hold inaccurate ideas about the feelings of |
| D:Day10.13 | self, you still hold inaccurate ideas about the feelings of the | personal self. This is because your image of the personal self is |
| D:Day10.13 | the feelings of the personal self. This is because your image of the | personal self is based on the past and the feelings of the past. This |
| D:Day10.13 | and the feelings of the past. This is also because your image of the | personal self is a mental construct, and not a simple mental |
| D:Day10.17 | within this Course. As you “learned” to remove the ego and deny the | personal self, you transferred your reliance to me and to the state |

| T3:12.8 | 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 of love. A |
| T3:12.8 | in physical terms was not a choice made of fear but made of love. A | physical self is not inconsistent with the laws of God or of |
| T3:12.9 | The life of the | physical self became a life of suffering and strife only because the |
| T3:12.9 | physical self became a life of suffering and strife only because the | physical or personal self forgot that it exists in relationship and |
| T3:12.10 | What would be a greater step in all of creation than a | physical self able to choose to express the Self within the laws of |
| T3:12.10 | self able to choose to express the Self within the laws of love? A | physical self, able to express itself from within the House of Truth |
| T3:13.2 | will be but memories to you while your reality remains that of the | physical experience and the personal self. In such times you can |
| T3:13.4 | been made now, giving you the beginnings of a vision of a life in | physical form that will not include the very temptations we are |

| T3:13.14 | Taking action on your ideas forms a relationship between your | physical form and your Self as your physical self represents, in |
| T3:13.14 | a relationship between your physical form and your Self as your | physical self represents, in form, the thought or image produced |
| T3:14.1 | about the changes you would so desire to have come about within your | physical experience. You may live a more peaceful and meaningful |
| T3:17.1 | As we have already shown, to have chosen to express the Self in | physical form was a choice consistent with the laws of love. There |
| T3:17.4 | the learning of a new thought system, the thought system of the | physical, a thought system that was not needed before there was |
| T3:17.4 | the physical, a thought system that was not needed before there was | physical form. The creation story of Adam and Eve, as well as many |
| T3:17.5 | experience to learn the lessons of what was observable within the | physical realm, to have begun to forget the unobservable began a |
| T3:17.5 | exactly what has been learned during the time of your experience in | physical form. Since your true Self could not learn the untrue, a new |
| T3:18.2 | observe what the Self expresses, was part of the original choice for | physical form. The word observance has rightly been linked with |
| T3:18.3 | an effect. Because this was part of the original choice for the | physical experience, it is a natural choice to serve our new purpose |
| T3:18.4 | Expressing who you are in | physical form will return remembrance to the minds of those who |
| T3:18.9 | In this way, you will join the mechanisms of your | physical form to the new thought system of the truth. Your body, as |
| 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 system of the |
| T3:19.1 | others will be no more. You have no more need to fear the loss of | physical joys than you have to fear the loss of mental and spiritual |
| T3:19.2 | For ages man has thought that spiritual joy diminishes | physical joy. While there is no physical joy that is limited to the |
| T3:19.2 | that spiritual joy diminishes physical joy. While there is no | physical joy that is limited to the physical—no joy felt by the |
| T3:19.2 | physical joy. While there is no physical joy that is limited to the | physical—no joy felt by the physical form alone—the joy that |
| T3:19.2 | no physical joy that is limited to the physical—no joy felt by the | physical form alone—the joy that comes of things physical can |
| T3:19.2 | joy felt by the physical form alone—the joy that comes of things | physical can certainly still be experienced and expressed. This is no |

| T3:19.2 | call for judgment upon the physical. How could this be true when the | physical is now called upon to serve the greatest learning humankind |
| T3:19.4 | For ages | physical reality has been linked to temptations of the human |
| T3:19.4 | of the human experience. Let us now dispel this link. The | physical form has been blamed for choices made from lust and greed, |
| T3:19.4 | heart. As cause and effect are one, there is no effect to be seen in | physical form without a corresponding cause birthed in the ego |
| T3:19.7 | union may be called for. While some of you may have less desire for | physical joining as you become more aware of unity, some may have |
| T3:19.7 | as you become more aware of unity, some may have more desire for | physical joining as an expression of that union. Neither option is |
| T3:19.9 | goal. That goal is the original thought that began the experience in | physical form, the thought of expressing the Self in observable form. |
| T3:19.11 | bodily temptations. Although you will now represent who you are in | physical form in a new way, you can still see that your actions of |
| T3:21.18 | do with the thoughts of a separated mind or the circumstances of the | physical body. |
| T4:2.22 | first joining in unity, the joining of heart and mind, joins the | physical and the spiritual world in a relationship of which you can |
| T4:2.25 | I have revealed to you. A new relationship now exists between the | physical and spiritual. It is not an indirect relationship but a |
| T4:3.2 | things. Observation is the means of seeing this binding pattern in | physical form. |
| T4:3.11 | love. Observation is the natural means of sharing what is known in | physical form. |
| T4:3.12 | The | physical form is not the natural or original form of the created. |
| T4:3.12 | by which the original nature of the created can newly be seen in | physical form. Once the original nature of the created becomes |
| T4:3.12 | form. Once the original nature of the created becomes observable in | physical form, physical form will surpass what it once was and become |
| T4:3.12 | original nature of the created becomes observable in physical form, | physical form will surpass what it once was and become the new nature |
| T4:4.18 | purpose will death serve when your true Self has joined with your | physical form? You will see it simply as the transformation it has |
| T4:4.18 | temporary experience has been elongated because of the appeal of the | physical experience. What this Treatise is saying to you is that if |
| T4:4.18 | experience. What this Treatise is saying to you is that if the | physical experience appeals to you, and if you create the union of |
| T4:8.1 | without form who at some point in time chose to express love in | physical form, and so began this experience of human life. You are |
| T4:12.3 | are beginning to see that they share in means not confined to the | physical senses. |
| D:1.2 | of the Self you are and the Self you hope to represent with your | physical form. I come to you today not as a personal self who is |
| D:1.3 | of speech, through inappropriateness of attire, through lack of | physical stamina, through lack of intelligence—through lack, in |
| D:6.25 | with the extended life span came extended reasons for fear, and a | physical form that you came to believe needed greater and greater |
| D:7.28 | You might begin by imagining first your actual, | physical, home, then your neighborhood, community, city, state, |
| D:14.3 | The Self is not separate from anything, not from anything in the | physical world or anything in the state of unity. This is why the key |
| D:14.12 | whole, has not been fully birthed. Your forms are complete in the | physical sense of sustaining life. Your form was birthed and you have |
| D:Day3.47 | You still believe the truth of the situation to be the reality of | physical form and of what you have or have not within the confines of |
| D:Day5.3 | experiences come from your mind or from a place just beyond your | physical concept of the mind but, since you are not your body, the |
| D:Day5.5 | arises from the earth and as if it is just below the form of the | physical body. Some could feel it in their hands and others as if it |
| D:Day15.4 | to know and to make known without observation or observance of the | physical. This occurs through your relationship with the unknown. You |
| D:Day15.5 | see, was not real to you. Through the practice of observance of the | physical and the obvious, you began to be able to see beyond the |
| D:Day15.5 | the physical and the obvious, you began to be able to see beyond the | physical and the obvious to what could not be observed physically. |
| D:Day15.10 | This is the new realm of power that few in | physical form have practiced and that has never been practiced by |
| D:Day15.17 | to know the self. The on-going informing or animation of the | physical with the spiritual is just that—on-going. The easiest way |

| D:Day16.4 | consciousness is of physical form. The rejected feelings that became | physical were made separate from the self and yet were maintained |
| D:Day16.4 | feelings. The rejected feelings exist as separate and forgotten | physical manifestations until they are willfully remembered and |
| D:Day16.6 | ejected or rejected and became “real” is returned to the Self, the | physical manifestation dissolves, because the source, which was |
| D:Day16.6 | the spacious Self. The illness was but is no more. Because it was | physical it came only to pass. Because the feeling that generated the |
| D:Day16.6 | it came only to pass. Because the feeling that generated the | physical manifestation was not physical to begin with—was not of |
| D:Day16.6 | the feeling that generated the physical manifestation was not | physical to begin with—was not of the physical world—it returns |
| D:Day16.6 | manifestation was not physical to begin with—was not of the | physical world—it returns to its non-physical nature within the |
| D:Day16.8 | Without acceptance, the separation remains along with the | physical manifestation. |
| D:Day16.9 | where all that is real and all that was ever real exists. While the | physical manifestations of all that you feared and expelled were not |
| D:Day16.11 | is or will be. You predetermine, or decide, for instance, that a | physical symptom is bad, and then choose to find out what is “wrong,” |
| D:Day36.3 | it would say nothing about you if it related the experiences only as | physical events. Your experiences may, in their totality, be called |

| T2:3.2 | accomplished. Your link between the realm of unity and the realm of | physicality is your heart. Your heart tells you of the already |
| T2:3.2 | you of the already accomplished and bids you to express it with your | physicality, thus uniting the two realms through expression. |
| T2:3.7 | you, already accomplished but awaiting expression in this realm of | physicality. |
| T3:12.7 | in which only God’s laws of love exist even within the realm of | physicality. What this means is that all that in this human |
| T3:12.8 | human experience, the choice to express who you are in the realm of | physicality. You were not “better” or more “right” before this choice |
| T3:17.1 | of love could be created and observed within the realm of | physicality. |
| T3:17.4 | was chosen—the experience of existing within the realm of | physicality. As such, it was as much a new beginning as the new |
| T3:17.4 | but tell of a “mistake” in the learning of a thought system of | physicality, a mistake that became a building block for all that came |
| D:Day15.6 | could be understood as making the spirit known in the form of | physicality. It is not simply the bringing of spirit into form but |

| C:P.4 | assuming there would be such a state in which learning could take | place would be meaningless. |

| C:P.23 | hit a wall rather than come across a bridge. It is precisely the | place at which you stopped that you must return to. Those who |
| C:P.26 | the family together as one is love. The family is, in fact, the only | place where unconditional love is seen as acceptable. Thus, no matter |
| C:P.28 | of you that rages against injustice, pain, and horror does so from a | place that does not accept and will never accept that these things |
| C:P.36 | shape, and scope like unto the old and hope to transport it from one | place to another would be delusional. The new world does not have to |

| C:1.3 | human form your heart must beat for the life of your self to take | place. This is the nature of your reality. Love is as essential to |

| C:3.7 | or pleasant appearance, on popularity or on reputation. Each one you | place in relationship to yourself, and so you do not even see the |

| C:4.10 | nor can you earn more of God’s love than you have, or a better | place in Heaven. The mind, under the ego’s direction, has thrived on |

| C:4.21 | The lucky ones among you have made a | place resembling home within your world. It is where you keep love |
| C:4.21 | another day. You spend your life intent upon retiring to this safe | place you have made of love in a world of madness, and hope that you |
| C:4.27 | nothingness from which it came as a new world rises up to take its | place. |
| C:5.8 | from all the rest. In setting love apart, you recognized it had no | place here; but you went on to set yourself apart and all else that |
| C:5.9 | displaced as to make a mockery of who you are. Love does mark your | place—but in eternity, not here. What you leave behind is never |
| C:5.22 | of which you have conceived. Over all your longing for union you | place this desire to be separate and alone. Your entire resistance to |
| C:5.32 | awaits you as you join with what you see. This awaits you as you | place no judgment on the world, and in so doing join with everything |
| C:6.2 | of it no more, and you will gently let it go and find heaven in its | place. |
| C:6.17 | accomplishment. With peace, accomplishment is achieved in the only | place where it makes any sense to desire it. With your accomplishment |
| C:6.19 | Think about this now—for how could heaven be a separate | place? A piece of geography distinct from all the rest? How could it |
| C:6.19 | and still be what it is: home to God’s beloved son and dwelling | place of God Himself? It is because God is not separate from anything |
| C:7.21 | most predominate in your society. Thus the truth is different in one | place than it is in another and it even appears to be in conflict. |
| C:7.21 | even though you are aware of their instability in time as well as | place, and so you live with constant denial that even what is known |
| C:8.6 | You think of the heart as the | place of feeling, and thus you associate emotions with your heart. |
| C:8.8 | heart, where is love? If these illusions were real there would be no | place for love at all, but love abides where illusion cannot enter. |
| C:8.10 | hidden from you, your recognition that a truth is available in a | place other than on the surface is useful to us now, as is your |
| C:8.11 | You look from separation’s stance rather than from the grace-filled | place of union. Perhaps you are thinking now that if you knew how |
| C:8.18 | you are perhaps more aware than ever before of being in a particular | place and time. As you stand back and observe your body, this is what |
| C:8.18 | your body, this is what you will see: a form moving through time and | place. You may be more aware than ever of its actions and complaints, |
| C:9.13 | labeled this or that often are not content to stay where you would | place them. They seem to betray you, when it is you who betray them |
| C:9.14 | memories trying to reveal the truth to you. They call to you from a | place that you know not. The difficulty is that the only self that is |
| C:9.14 | of denial or contempt. It is your language that gives emotion its | place, one step behind fear, in your battle to control or protect |
| C:9.21 | that you could bring this one in from that dark and dangerous | place. She is cold, and you prepare a fire and give her a warm |
| C:9.28 | than 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 |
| C:9.30 | than that you are using it. You do so out of guilt in an attempt to | place your guilt outside yourself. “My body made me do it” is like |
| C:9.34 | and lay to ruin. The only thing that might succeed in proving your | place as that of royal inheritor would be if you could fix yourself |
| C:9.38 | balance, and try to find something for one part of yourself in one | place and something for another somewhere else. This one fulfills |
| C:9.41 | idolatry tells you that glory is for the few, and so you take your | place in line at the starting gate and make your bid for glory. You |
| C:9.44 | of use obvious to both the user and the usee, and so has its proper | place in our discussion here. Look at patterns of abuse, in |
| C:9.45 | destructive force of such abuse is easily apparent. Again you would | place the blame outside yourself and label drugs, alcohol, tobacco, |
| C:10.6 | Be warned that it will constantly try to interfere as long as you | place any merit in what it tells you. |
| C:10.21 | return impossible and count themselves lucky for not going to the | place from which change would become inevitable. |
| C:10.23 | fear lies beneath the surface, see the advantage of this exercise: | Place your body out in front of yourself where you can be its silent |
| C:10.32 | you. “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 |
| C:11.6 | you have made has been shaken now, and you realize you would like to | place your faith elsewhere. You would like to, but you have your |
| C:11.13 | the final line of defense, the site where the final battle will take | place. Before this final battle is reached your willingness to change |
| C:11.18 | obligation. But a dinner party where love is welcomed to take its | place becomes a celebration. Your table becomes an altar to the Lord |
| C:12.7 | the energy required to keep the world of your illusion in its | place, you would understand the rest that will simply come of giving |
| C:12.12 | is not what it was meant to be. On a lovely day and in a lovely | place you can see that creation’s paradise still exists, but nowhere |
| C:12.21 | The Father did not prevent the idea of separation from taking | place, and could not any more than you could prevent an idea from |
| C:14.3 | make yourself inferior, and you are always making for yourself a | place at one of these extremes. And all this effort and conflict |
| C:14.4 | God provided you with a paradise not of this world, a separate | place to honor your specialness and separation from all else that He |
| C:14.19 | is dependent upon you. And no wonder that when you find a respite, a | place of rest and beauty and of love, you want to claim it for your |
| C:14.19 | plot and plan for what they never have the opportunity to put into | place. Still others are more coy in their design, and dress it up to |
| C:15.12 | as well as his birthright and your own. You only need be open to the | place that no specialness can enter, and bid your brother choose for |
| C:16.10 | basis that it uses no judgment! Here you can see the value that you | place on judgment, even to the ridiculous notion that you can judge |
| C:16.16 | Your judgment has not made the world a better | place! If history proves anything, it proves the opposite of what you |
| C:16.16 | make themselves. For all of you here know that judgment is not your | place, and that it belongs to God and God alone. This is firmly |
| C:17.13 | of your body has prepared you for this. Step back now to the | place that has been held for you. You have not lost “your place in |
| C:17.13 | now to the place that has been held for you. You have not lost “your | place in line” because you wandered. It has been held for you by the |
| C:18.5 | This chain I have described helps you to imagine the | place I hold for you, as you held mine when I entered the world in |
| C:18.6 | as a curse, as a punishment from God, or as your home, a dwelling | place that keeps you separate, then you can begin to see it as what |
| C:18.8 | who comprise it, and imagine the life that you experience now taking | place much like that you would see projected on a movie screen. You |
| C:18.8 | you would see projected on a movie screen. You have not left your | place as you view this movie and experience its sights and sounds, |
| C:19.5 | on faith alone. Experience is needed to change your beliefs and to | place your faith securely in them. The first step in leading you to |
| C:19.12 | must learn to see yourself as you see your brothers and sisters, and | place your belief not in differences but in sameness. |
| C:19.21 | past does not abide in you. What you need rather do is strive for a | place of stillness from which what needs review can arise as if it |
| C:20.10 | imaginal, a dream that requires you not to leave your home, your | place of safety and of rest. You are cradled gently while your spirit |
| C:20.17 | people who would as soon do you harm as good. It is but the | place of your interaction with all that lives within you, sharing the |
| C:20.44 | and acting. It will immediately make the world a kinder, gentler | place. And it is only a beginning. |
| C:21.5 | one another might recognize that the other’s “heart is in the right | place.” The “right place” with two people—as with mind and heart— |
| C:21.5 | The “right place” with two people—as with mind and heart—is the | place of no division. The unification of mind and heart that produces |
| C:22.19 | a moment 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 |
| C:24.3 | can be seen as a sign. Let them alert you that unlearning is taking | place. Welcome them as harbingers of this good news. Know that the |
| C:25.19 | This is unlearning taking | place. It may feel frustrating and be tinged with anxiety, anger, |
| C:25.20 | be linked with ego as well. Your personal self will be looking for a | place in which to reside. It will be looking for identity. It will |
| C:25.21 | to make conscious decisions the quicker your unlearning will take | place and the lessons of discernment occur. Discernment is needed |
| C:26.19 | only that you be open and allow giving and receiving as one to take | place. It asks only that you be unoccupied with the old so that the |
| C:26.23 | the story that is you. Can you not see that you were birthed into a | place in the pattern of God’s creation? Or that you not only can know |
| C:26.23 | Or that you not only can know but have always known of this | place? |
| C:26.24 | This is not a | place of physical form but a place of holiness, an integral place in |
| C:26.24 | This is not a place of physical form but a | place of holiness, an integral place in the pattern that is oneness |
| C:26.24 | is not a place of physical form but a place of holiness, an integral | place in the pattern that is oneness with God. It is a place you have |
| C:26.24 | an integral place in the pattern that is oneness with God. It is a | place you have never left but that you long for, believing that you |
| C:26.25 | of God, you grew simultaneously with God’s thought. You knew your | place in the pattern of creation from the outset. A full life is |
| C:28.4 | Few are chosen to be prophets, and the plethora of testimony taking | place is brought about by innocence more so than by wisdom. This |
| C:29.12 | It is extremely important for you to realize that God’s work takes | place outside of time, as do all acts of true service or creation. |
| C:29.21 | to make choices is an act that comes from an entirely different | place than decision-making. Claiming is akin to prayer and is but an |
| C:31.6 | know that if you had to consciously cause these functions to take | place, you would surely die, for managing the workings of the body |
| C:31.12 | How the ego becomes dislodged matters not. What matters is where you | place your devotion. |
| C:31.33 | receiving being one in truth. Giving and receiving are both taking | place, both at the same time, as are seeking and finding, once you |
| T1:1.9 | ego-mind had to be circumvented in order for true learning to take | place. This is what A Course of Love accomplished. This learning was |
| T1:4.21 | but response. Response was what was required in the first | place and your inability to respond need not be repeated. You are |
| T1:5.6 | real to you. The lucky among you have made of this in-between | place an adventure, and are happy in your seeking. You do not care to |
| T1:5.7 | in-between you have created between all and nothing. This in-between | place is your comfort zone and, although you feel compelled to push |
| T1:6.2 | How is this revelation to take | place? It will begin by learning the art of thought as the act of |
| T1:8.3 | truth. There was only one truth at the time the event or change took | place, and there is only one truth in time or eternity regardless of |
| T1:9.15 | or the intellect. The perceived attack will have entered at the | place where you have placed your highest value and are thus most |
| T2:1.4 | of perfection, and you may find in this a somewhat peaceful resting | place to dwell in for a time. You may find that despite having |
| T2:1.5 | This resting | place is indeed hallowed ground and an earned respite, a demarcation |
| T2:1.5 | But it is not the end that is sought. No matter how peaceful this | place of rest may at first seem, it will soon become stagnant and |
| T2:1.5 | seem, it will soon become stagnant and unsatisfying. Left in such a | place without further instruction, you would soon return to your old |
| T2:1.6 | This | place is not life but neither is it death, for even death is not an |
| T2:1.6 | but neither is it death, for even death is not an eternal resting | place in the sense that you have imagined it. Even rest, once truly |
| T2:1.6 | Even rest, once truly learned, is simply rest. It is not a resting | place, a place to stop along the journey of life any more than it is |
| T2:1.6 | once truly learned, is simply rest. It is not a resting place, a | place to stop along the journey of life any more than it is a place |
| T2:1.6 | a place to stop along the journey of life any more than it is a | place at which life stops and death reigns. It is not a point at |
| T2:1.8 | of this Course, unity, like rest, may have come to be viewed as a | place at which you can arrive. Like peace, it may feel like a bubble |
| T2:1.8 | seems to reign there. You must realize that you think in terms of | place because you think in terms of form. Thus even I have often used |
| T2:1.8 | you think in terms of form. Thus even I have often used the idea of | place as a teaching aid. But you are ready now to begin to think |
| T2:1.9 | that you hang upon your wall. The time of painting becomes a | place. A room or studio is envisioned in which all the tools of the |
| T2:1.10 | Thought “forms” are the product of the separation. Unity is not a | place or a thing but the realm of the one heart and one mind; the |
| T2:3.2 | What I refer to so often here as being within, as if “within” is a | place in which something resides, is unity and it is the place where |
| T2:3.2 | is a place in which something resides, is unity and it is the | place where being resides. It is the place or realm of one heart and |
| T2:3.2 | resides, is unity and it is the place where being resides. It is the | place or realm of one heart and one mind. It is the place where |
| T2:3.2 | It is the place or realm of one heart and one mind. It is the | place where everything already exists fully realized. It is like a |
| T2:4.9 | the conflict of two opposing sets of thoughts and feelings to the | place of unity. |
| T2:4.13 | where there is no division between who you are and what you do. This | place of no division is the place of unity. |
| T2:4.13 | who you are and what you do. This place of no division is the | place of unity. |
| T2:4.14 | accepting who you are. Accepting where you are, as if it is a static | place at which you have arrived, is not the goal that has been set. |
| T2:6.1 | alerts you to the treasures that lie within. There is no time in the | place we are calling within and your heart knows not of time even |
| T2:6.1 | not of time even while it adheres to the rules of time you would | place upon yourself. Cease adhering to the rules of time and see how |
| T2:6.2 | If you can begin now to think without the barriers of time you but | place upon your thinking, you will advance this process and more |
| T2:6.6 | will be in unity. There is only what is. Thus the limits you would | place on the concept of something being what it is, must be part of |
| T2:7.7 | be tempted to believe that giving and receiving as one is not taking | place. Your previous pattern of behavior will be quick to assert |
| T2:7.19 | does mean that you bring the thoughts and feelings that arise to the | place within your heart that has been prepared for them. You do not |
| T2:7.19 | bring them first to your Self, to the Self joined in unity at the | place of your heart. From this place you learn to discriminate, to |
| T2:7.19 | to the Self joined in unity at the place of your heart. From this | place you learn to discriminate, to separate the false from the true, |
| T2:7.19 | from the true, for your ego thoughts cannot long abide in the holy | place of your heart. Then, with truth and illusion separated, you |
| T2:8.6 | 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. |
| T2:9.4 | to having a reaction to this meeting of a need as if it takes | place apart from you, or from outside of you. You assign the meeting |
| T2:13.4 | the time of separation and the beginning of the time of unity taking | place around you, practice the beliefs that have been put forth in |
| T2:13.5 | another in gratitude. This is the attitude of the wholehearted, the | place from which all calls are sounded and received, the place where |
| T2:13.5 | the place from which all calls are sounded and received, the | place where the true thinking of those united in mind and heart |
| T3:1.13 | work now to correct the errors of the past in the present, the only | place where such work can be done. We work with what we have, a form |
| T3:4.7 | You can dismantle the ego and build another in its | place and this has at times been done in the individual with great |
| T3:6.6 | bitterness itself behind. Bring bitterness no longer to the dwelling | place of Christ and we will seal the place of its entrance with the |
| T3:6.6 | no longer to the dwelling place of Christ and we will seal the | place of its entrance with the sweetness of love so that bitterness |
| T3:8.4 | of many past lives, the identity you hold in this time and this | place still believes in its own history and that of those who came |
| T3:9.3 | beyond its walls. You might think, at first, that you are in a | place so foreign that you must immediately begin to learn again, |
| T3:10.3 | The first thing I ask you to forget is your need to find a | place where blame can be placed. You who have been waiting to get to |
| T3:10.3 | yourself is as senseless as blaming others and your inclination to | place blame upon yourself must be given up as well. When it is said |
| T3:10.5 | space you will long to fill. This act of consciously choosing not to | place blame will short-circuit the many thoughts that you would |
| T3:10.5 | 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, an idea that is |
| T3:10.7 | to you to become aware of the total change that has, in truth, taken | place. |
| T3:10.8 | reactions to people and situations and much like forgetting to | place blame. |
| T3:11.3 | of Truth represent an awareness of a new reality, a new dwelling | place. |
| T3:11.4 | in the House of Truth does not represent a structure but a dwelling | place. The word house as used in the house of illusion does represent |
| T3:11.4 | self from all that it would fear. The House of Truth is the dwelling | place of those who no longer live in fear and thus have no need for a |
| T3:13.6 | This is a simple | place to start because each of you are tempted to hang on to this |
| T3:13.7 | I say this is a simple | place to start because you can put this new idea into practice today |
| T3:14.12 | onto the past as if it were the truth, allows not correction to take | place. The past is no more and neither the present nor the future can |
| T3:15.1 | others. For most mature adults, some form of new beginning has taken | place or been offered. Often, those within the relationship of |
| T3:15.2 | types of new beginnings and all that would hamper them from taking | place. |
| T3:15.9 | that, like all others that you have offered or attempted, will take | place in relationship. The difference is that this new beginning will |
| T3:15.9 | in relationship. The difference is that this new beginning will take | place in holy, rather than special, relationship. |
| T3:16.14 | be good, to help others, and to struggle to make the world a better | place, fall into this category. Your notions of wanting to protect or |
| T3:16.17 | Accept one “part” or tenet of the truth and see the reverse take | place. See how quickly the thought system of the truth builds upon |
| T3:17.5 | true, your true Self had to be appealed to for this learning to take | place. |
| T3:18.3 | It is thus from observable form that the final learning will take | place. This is the perfect example of using what you have made for a |
| T3:20.2 | is but a measurement of, it rightly follows that learning can take | place at a slow pace or a fast pace. There is no more or less to |
| T3:21.10 | been seen as your personal self. Thus your personal self is the only | place in which you have experience that can now be used for a new |
| T3:22.13 | both of yourself and of what you desire, is an act that takes | place in the here and now that is and brings what is into existence. |
| T3:22.13 | does not appear to exist with you in the here and now is not, and | place it in a separate category, a category that only exists in the |
| T4:1.23 | of your ancestors despite the advances of learning that have taken | place, it is a different world. You have not known the secret |
| T4:3.10 | will allow you to elevate the personal self to its rightful | place within the nature of a world of love. |
| T4:10.5 | the greatest teacher. Studying places the power of the teacher in a | place other than that of love. Relationship happens as it happens. |
| T4:10.13 | of learning will change the world. They will make the world a better | place and see many of their students advance beyond what they can |
| D:1.11 | Help is here. Be what you have been called to be. Open your dwelling | place to your true Self, your true identity. Imagine this opening and |
| D:4.19 | Thus without limiting this freedom at all, let us simply speak of a | place and a way to begin to experience it, and of a place and a way |
| D:4.19 | speak of a place and a way to begin to experience it, and of a | place and a way to begin to create the new. |
| D:4.20 | This | place and this way begins at the prison doors, begins, as we said |
| D:4.23 | I remind you that there is no authority to whom you can turn. But in | place of that “outside” authority, I give you your own authority, an |
| D:4.26 | release is at hand and it will come from your own authority and no | place else. It is up to you to accept that your release is possible, |
| D:6.1 | you that the time of “teaching” like the time of “learning” had its | place as well as its methods. |
| D:6.9 | impossible to repopulate the earth afterwards even if it had taken | place as described. |
| D:7.4 | Experiences of form take | place in time because experience, too, was designed for learning. Now |
| D:7.8 | of time and space. It may still exist in a particular time and | place, but this is simply the nature of one aspect of what you are. |
| D:7.13 | This discovery can only take | place in the reality of love. |
| D:7.16 | Observation takes | place in time. Even while you have been called to observe what is, |
| D:8.2 | Imagine this first as a | place where no learning is needed. Ah, you might say now, this you |
| D:8.7 | what you now think of as your natural talents or abilities, the | place or Source of your natural talents or abilities is a place from |
| D:8.7 | the place or Source of your natural talents or abilities is a | place from which to start building your awareness of what is |
| D:8.10 | The self and the expression of self that comes from any | place other than wholeheartedness is not the true Self or the true |
| D:8.12 | yearning for union with that from which it is divided. Enter the | place of no division, the place of shared consciousness, the place of |
| D:8.12 | that from which it is divided. Enter the place of no division, the | place of shared consciousness, the place of wholeness. The natural |
| D:8.12 | the place of no division, the place of shared consciousness, the | place of wholeness. The natural ability that you recognize as a given |
| D:9.4 | you are in one way or another all of your life without reaching the | place of fulfillment you have sought. Even now, when you have learned |
| D:11.17 | ways that lead to many paths of seeking, but illusion can provide no | place in which the seeking ends and the truth is found. |
| D:11.18 | In unity! Unity is where the heart and mind are joined. Unity is the | place from which the expression, the right-minded action of the |
| D:12.4 | capable of hearing the same language, you truly began to enter the | place of unity, to take the step outside of the dot of the body. |
| D:12.13 | coming to know of the Self joined in unity, enters you through the | place of mind and heart joined in wholeheartedness at the center of |
| D:12.13 | and heart joined in wholeheartedness at the center of yourself, a | place that has nothing to do with the body. That you listen, hear, |
| D:14.10 | for learning is incremental and discovery is not. Learning took | place in parts in an effort to lead to wholeness. Discovery comes to |
| D:15.22 | of the highest mountain. These dialogues might be seen as taking | place there, with the guide and the team of climbers who accompanied |
| D:16.4 | in which the unified principles of creation are seen to be taking | place as separate steps. This is so because of the condition of time. |
| D:17.24 | him home. To where he started from. In story form, this takes | place with movement. Years are spent traveling many paths and many |
| D:Day1.3 | my words, and these words are what have brought you here, not to a | place but to an ascended state. Without your acceptance of who I am, |
| D:Day1.14 | I now would like to lead you beyond, the world would be a different | place. Have I not called you to a new time in which the conditions of |
| D:Day1.14 | are banished, rejected, and a new world of love accepted in their | place? |
| D:Day2.11 | or a flood. Yes, this was different, but this difference does not | place these actions beyond the idea of acceptance. |
| D:Day3.17 | in the case of those “born” to money. Thus this is a good | place to start, since inheritance is that of which we speak. Let’s be |
| D:Day3.26 | Love. But beyond learning is where we now stand. We now stand at the | place of the rejection of learning—the rejection of all you learned. |
| D:Day3.39 | When you have felt the reality of union, you have felt the | place in which no want exists. You felt this through the |
| D:Day3.42 | which your desires are responded to. This does not mean that the | place of unity is a place that does not interact with the place of |
| D:Day3.42 | are responded to. This does not mean that the place of unity is a | place that does not interact with the place of form. It is |
| D:Day3.42 | that the place of unity is a place that does not interact with the | place of form. It is interacting with the world of form through you. |
| D:Day3.44 | you are being asked to do here, is to open the self of form to the | place of unity, thus allowing this divine flow of union into the |
| D:Day4.13 | free from learning, a state free from death. To be told that such a | place exists is no more comforting than consoling words if you do not |
| D:Day4.13 | than consoling words if you do not feel you have access to this | place. It is like being told that all of the treasure you might |
| D:Day4.25 | truth. On your own, only illusion can be learned, for your starting | place is illusion. |
| D:Day4.26 | treasure and the key to the treasure. Union is both access and the | place to which you desire access. As all that exists in truth, union |
| D:Day4.35 | You might think of the mountain top as symbolic of a | place close to God. If God was once seen as a figure in heaven, and |
| D:Day4.35 | to God. If God was once seen as a figure in heaven, and heaven as a | place beyond the clouds, then the mountain top was symbolic of |
| D:Day4.35 | the mountain top was symbolic of proximity. It was symbolic of a | place from which God was almost touchable. As if one could raise ones |
| D:Day4.35 | to all that lies beyond time and space, to all that exists in the | place of unity. |
| D:Day4.42 | Smile with me now, as you think of yourself in this elevated | place. You are still the self of form despite the truth that you are |
| D:Day4.42 | self of form despite the truth that you are literally with me in a | place of high elevation. Is this what you choose to remain? A self of |
| D:Day4.43 | transformed into the elevated Self of form? Do you want to know this | place of access and carry it within you, or do you only wish the |

| D:Day8.19 | temptation of those who live in peace, a temptation unlike the more | pleasant temptations that were spoken of earlier. This temptation |
please (7) |

| C:P.20 | to self because this is your chosen way to abolish ego and to | please God. This is not unlike the attitude of a good mother who |
| C:P.21 | Your good intentions neither | please nor displease God. God simply waits for your return to heaven, |
| C:22.1 | parts of your life and for certain times that you deem appropriate. | Please assure yourself, as I assure you, that now is an appropriate |
| C:22.9 | While you might think of this as everything outside of yourself, | please, when thinking of this, use the words I have provided: |

||
| C:18.23 | of feelings of lack of love, and that all you have experienced as | pleasurable are feelings of love. This would seem to contradict what |
| D:5.7 | of love and called it “making love.” If it were painful rather than | pleasurable, if you did not lose yourself and experience completion, |

| C:9.6 | what goes in and what goes out. It is as susceptible to pain as to | pleasure. It contains the means for joining, but for joining that is |
| C:9.7 | is reflected in the body: self-aggrandizement and self-effacement, | pleasure and pain, violence and gentleness. A desire to know |
| C:10.1 | is neutral. But as long as you attribute the body with bringing you | pleasure, the body will bring you pain as well. You cannot choose one |
| C:13.3 | routine to you, for you will want to continuously experience the | pleasure that it brings. |
| C:18.22 | of the body as a learning device. Your body seems to experience both | pleasure and pain, yet as a learning device, it is neutral. It does |
| C:18.22 | nor that you can reject the experience of it. The same is true of | pleasure. |
| C:18.23 | Determination of | pleasure and pain is made with the judgment of the separated self who |

| T3:13.2 | an extreme experience of pain or of pleasure. You begin to fear that | pleasure will end or that pain will not end. Once fear has entered, |
| T3:13.5 | Remember now that | pleasure and pain as perceived by the body are from the same source. |
| T3:13.5 | but your beliefs about your body and yourself. You have believed | pleasure to come at a cost, the cost of pain. You have believed in |
| D:5.7 | completion, you would not desire it. Sex, experienced for this | pleasure and completion, regardless of emotional attachment or |
| D:Day18.5 | individuation of the One Self amongst the many. They find renewed | pleasure in being who they are because they have been renewed through |
pleasures (3) |
||
| T3:8.11 | seem to do so? If what was looked for was a means of finding simple | pleasures in a harsh world, why not ideas of entertainment that would |
| D:Day3.22 | them with ideas of having more time, more fulfilling work, simpler | pleasures, and yet you still see your new state as one that does not |
| D:Day3.33 | answer, just as you might think that money spent on the more lasting | pleasures such as the things described above is the secret. |

point (127) |

| C:P.8 | was a course in thought reversal and mind training, a course to | point out the insanity of the identity crisis and dislodge the ego’s |
| C:P.22 | the spectrum, with a concentration on self that seems to have no end | point and no limit to the interest it generates. While forgiveness |
| C:P.22 | of gifts and what leads to joy cannot be done without, they are the | point only to the extent of making one ready for a new choice. |
| C:7.17 | ideas you have, especially those that might make of this a trivial | point or one that is specific and not generalizable. All relationship |
| C:9.41 | was but the required offering to the idol you have made. And at some | point, when you can run the race no more, you bow down to those who |
| C:10.3 | take what you will and leave the rest. Thus we will continue to | point out the differences in the two thought systems so that your |
| C:10.5 | body to prove to you that it is insurmountable. Many people at this | point try to think these maladies away, and when they do not succeed |
| C:10.6 | evidence of its failure to be other than separate and be quick to | point out to you the impossibility of being other than what you are— |
| C:10.16 | is possible, but there may be reasons not to choose this. At this | point, however, all that is asked is that your body is seen as what |
| C:11.14 | the effects you would have come about. This matters not at this | point. You are offered the opportunity to make a temporary decision |
| C:12.10 | it is but a separation from your Self. This is the most difficult | point to get across, because in it lies a contradiction, the one |
| C:12.15 | at all, but all-one-mind. What this Course is saying is that at some | point that does not exist in time, God’s son made the choice for |
| C:12.24 | name for love, but such it is. God is but creation’s starting | point, the creator of creation and yet Creation itself. The Son and |
| C:12.24 | Son and Holy Spirit, like unto Creation, proceeded from the starting | point of God. God is the Son and Holy Spirit’s starting point as |
| C:12.24 | the starting point of God. God is the Son and Holy Spirit’s starting | point as well, the Creator of the Son and Holy Spirit, yet He also is |
| C:14.2 | creation as you have fragmented your own self. And from the vantage | point you have established in which you view yourself as the epitome |
| C:14.13 | We must begin with what is obvious, a simple | point that some of you have denied and that some of you could not. |
| C:15.4 | be made to feel special—and you along with them—then what is the | point of being here at all? For this is indeed the point you have |
| C:15.4 | then what is the point of being here at all? For this is indeed the | point you have made of your life. |
| C:15.11 | be loyal to both, and herein lies your problem. For at the turning | point you look back and see one other you cannot betray, and one |
| C:19.15 | have learned much of others, this type of learning is but a starting | point, a gateway to experience. |
| C:21.6 | The embrace can now be likened to the starting | point of a shared language, a language shared by mind and heart and |
| C:22.7 | The image of intersection is simply meant to represent the | point where the world intersects with you—where your path crosses |
| C:22.7 | cause you to feel or believe in a certain way—and it is at this | point of intersection that not only relationship, but partnership is |
| C:22.14 | While passing through would seem to imply an entry and exit | point, the relationship developed during the pass-through continues. |
| C:22.14 | continues. Just as wind or water passing through an entry and exit | point has an impact and a motion, so does what passes through you |
| C:23.25 | There is no trick to identifying unlearning opportunities. From this | point forward, I assure you, all experiences will be thus until |
| C:25.16 | personal self gets out of the way in any instance, it is the turning | point. It is the signal that you are ready to live from love. This is |
| C:28.9 | attempt to turn bearing witness into a convincing argument for your | point of view, no matter what that point of view may be, makes what |
| C:28.9 | a convincing argument for your point of view, no matter what that | point of view may be, makes what you have come to know pointless to |
| C:28.12 | your belief, the need to give form to what is beyond form misses the | point of what you have gained. You may be asking now, “Are you saying |
| C:31.9 | even one life. Each life is irreplaceable and no one argues this | point, yet you allow yourself to resist the whole idea of God because |
| T1:4.27 | and not due miracles or any other thing or being. I bring up this | point to assure you that this confusion is nothing new, but a |
| T1:5.6 | much to be learned from the in-between. It is, however, a starting | point only. |
| T1:9.14 | then have been either an emotional one or an intellectual one. The | point here is that the one that is most comfortable and that is |
| T2:1.6 | than it is a place at which life stops and death reigns. It is not a | point at which you arrive, never to depart. Rest, when truly learned, |
| T2:6.6 | Accomplishment is not an end | point but a given. It is not an outcome but a certainty. It says I am |
| T3:2.12 | This is such an important | point for you to grasp that I return you to our comparison of the |
| T3:5.7 | of enormous proportions; the greatest sacrifice of all. The | point of the story, however, was not one of sacrifice but one of gift |
| T3:12.5 | Realize that prior to this | point, our goal was returning to your awareness the truth of your |
| T3:14.10 | If there are things that you, at this | point, still hold to yourself and call unforgivable, now is the time |
| T3:14.13 | make for yourself no cause to prolong it. The past is but a starting | point for the future. Just as we talked of the consequences of blame |
| T3:17.8 | time of illusion is now called to an end. What is finite has an end | point and this is that end point for the time of illusion. The return |
| T3:17.8 | to an end. What is finite has an end point and this is that end | point for the time of illusion. The return of Christ, or your ability |
| T3:21.23 | the truth. As has been said many times, willingness is the starting | point and as can be surely understood, where one is willing another |
| T4:2.8 | I belabor this | point because you literally cannot proceed to full awareness while |
| T4:2.9 | I also belabor this | point because those of you familiar with the Bible, upon hearing |
| T4:2.25 | Yet we have strayed here from the overriding | point of what I have revealed to you. A new relationship now exists |
| T4:8.1 | was not some separate “you” or some species without form who at some | point in time chose to express love in physical form, and so began |
| T4:8.5 | Creation in form had a starting | point. This is the nature of everything that lives in form. It has a |
| T4:8.5 | is the nature of everything that lives in form. It has a starting | point from which it grows into its time of fullness. Creation on the |
| T4:9.5 | time coming. You have realized that your learning has reached an end | point. The excitement of new learning is not lasting because it is |
| T4:9.5 | seems to be nothing new to be said, nothing to move you beyond this | point that you have reached in your understanding of the truth. All |
| T4:10.14 | for you have become who you are and move on from this starting | point to creating who you are anew in unity and relationship. You can |
| T4:12.2 | all new means of doing anything, this dialogue must have a starting | point. This is it. |
| T4:12.17 | This is just a beginning | point of your ability to see what learned wisdom has wrought. This is |
| T4:12.17 | to see what learned wisdom has wrought. This is a necessary end | point of your review of your experience here so that you do not |
| D:5.6 | is to desire joining. This desire was created to remind you—to | point the way—to your true desire for your true identity as a being |
| D:5.9 | the return to what is and we but proceed from this starting | point. |
| D:5.19 | rather than as you have perceived it to be. From this starting | point only can we move forward to the future we create together. |
| D:6.1 | you were participating in. Eventually your learning reached an end | point as the learning goal of this Course was met, and this you were |
| D:6.2 | to the unreal, the false to the true, fear to love—in order to | point out the insanity of your perception and the perfect sanity of |
| D:11.16 | an important man among many important men. Those who do so miss the | point of the life of Jesus just as they miss the point of their own |
| D:11.16 | who do so miss the point of the life of Jesus just as they miss the | point of their own lives. Those who do so seek to make individual |
| D:12.11 | it is the pattern, not the ego, that is still with you. The second | point is that although thinking does not serve you, you do have, |
| D:15.22 | of climbers who accompanied you on your ascent. And at this highest | point of the highest peak of the highest mountain, you pause and |
| D:16.12 | a cause for disappointment. Perhaps you thought you were beyond this | point of becoming. And yet, as you have begun your practice of |
| D:Day1.14 | accepted, and lived the teachings that have brought you to this | point which I now would like to lead you beyond, the world would be a |
| D:Day2.13 | I could give thousands of examples here, but the | point is that we are not looking for degrees of wrong-actions, or |
| D:Day3.5 | So our first | point of discussion in the realm of anger is that no matter where |
| D:Day3.30 | health while at the same time dreading the disease that may at any | point take it from you, those of you who have money see it in the |
| D:Day3.40 | an association in regards to entry, you would likely say the entry | point was the mind. This is, in a sense, true, as wholeheartedness is |
| D:Day3.40 | do not advance our discussion now and can be returned to later. The | point here is your “concept” or idea about what you have gained from |
| D:Day3.43 | Do you not see? You are the entry | point, the only channel through which all that is available in unity |
| D:Day4.58 | Here is the beginning | point from which we continue to burn away the remnants of attachment |
| D:Day5.1 | A | point of access will no longer be needed once full entry is attained, |
| D:Day5.1 | Even though it will not be permanently needed, however, this | point of access will remain crucial as long as you maintain rather |
| D:Day5.1 | as long as you maintain rather than sustain the state of unity. This | point of access will thus now be discussed, both as an initial entry |
| D:Day5.1 | point of access will thus now be discussed, both as an initial entry | point and as a continued entry point so that it is available to you |
| D:Day5.1 | discussed, both as an initial entry point and as a continued entry | point so that it is available to you until it is no longer needed. |
| D:Day5.2 | For each of you this access | point will in truth be the same, but perhaps quite different in the |
| D:Day5.2 | you use in order to enter it. For those of you who have felt the | point of entry to be the mind in experiences already registered, |
| D:Day5.3 | not your body, the idea of what originates “within” coming from a | point beyond the body is not now too unbelievable to contemplate. |
| D:Day5.4 | Thus we begin with what feels natural to you. We give access a focal | point in the realm of form. |
| D:Day5.5 | This focal | point must be of your own choosing. Your point of access may be your |
| D:Day5.5 | This focal point must be of your own choosing. Your | point of access may be your head, or a place just above or to the |
| D:Day5.5 | them givens and choose what feels most natural to you as a focal | point for your focus on access. |
| D:Day5.9 | your body, it will be helpful to have identified this chosen access | point for unity even while remembering it is not of the body alone. |
| D:Day5.13 | While you do not consider yourself as having or needing an “access” | point to love, and while you may treat love still as an individual |
| D:Day5.16 | A “healer” for instance, might, thus, feel her access | point as being the hands and express what is gained through unity by |
| D:Day5.21 | more specifically to our focus on access. Wherever your chosen | point of access lies, imagine now the needle that was discussed as |
| D:Day5.21 | the onion in the Course chapter “The Intersection,” and imagine the | point of intersection connecting with your chosen access point. |
| D:Day5.21 | imagine the point of intersection connecting with your chosen access | point. Imagine this now, not as a needle but as the wisdom you seek. |
| D:Day5.21 | thinking and feeling that we used the onion to illustrate, but as a | point of entry and pass-through. What comes of unity enters you and |
| D:Day5.25 | awareness of breath that comes from the focus of meditation. A focus | point is a point of convergence. A focal point is a point of |
| D:Day5.25 | breath that comes from the focus of meditation. A focus point is a | point of convergence. A focal point is a point of intersection that |
| D:Day5.25 | of meditation. A focus point is a point of convergence. A focal | point is a point of intersection that gives rise to a clear image. |
| D:Day5.25 | A focus point is a point of convergence. A focal point is a | point of intersection that gives rise to a clear image. |
| D:Day5.26 | here is that of pass-through. Although we have spoken of this focal | point as an entryway, this does not imply that something that is not |
| D:Day6.1 | We are in an in-between state of time. We stand at the intersection | point of the finite and the infinite in order to complete the |
| D:Day6.4 | and expression coming together. We have further spoken of your | point of access to unity as one of convergence, intersection, and |
| D:Day6.7 | that inspires the creator to see these words as lyrics. At some | point after this gestation within the mind and heart, the artist puts |
| D:Day6.7 | step of the process, or only late in its development. But at some | point, the sharing will take place, and the reactions of those with |
| D:Day6.7 | or to be more determined than ever to see the piece through to the | point where it will be appreciated. Finishing touches will be put on |
| D:Day6.8 | piece of art that comes to completion includes a choice. At some | point along the way a commitment is made between the artist and the |
| D:Day6.14 | experience nothing but our relationship, focus on nothing but your | point of access, have a chance to really begin to invite abundance |
| D:Day6.18 | life. Changes you feel called to make are not discouraged here. The | point being made is simply that removal from life is not possible or |
| D:Day6.22 | The | point here, however, is this: Quit trying to remove yourself from |
| D:Day6.30 | or think you learn, the qualities that will allow this. This is the | point of movement, being, and expression coming together. The point |
| D:Day6.30 | is the point of movement, being, and expression coming together. The | point of convergence, intersection, and pass-through. This is it! |
| D:Day8.3 | But here is the | point that needs clearing up. This is not about acceptance of what |
| D:Day10.9 | of insight—intuition that causes you to make connections between | point A and point B, be point A and point B distinct points in a |
| D:Day10.9 | —intuition that causes you to make connections between point A and | point B, be point A and point B distinct points in a scientific |
| D:Day10.9 | that causes you to make connections between point A and point B, be | point A and point B distinct points in a scientific puzzle or murky |
| D:Day10.9 | you to make connections between point A and point B, be point A and | point B distinct points in a scientific puzzle or murky points about |
| D:Day10.19 | Thus I will speak to you from this | point onward as the voice of Christ-consciousness, the voice of your |
| D:Day10.19 | consciousness of the man I once was because you were, prior to this | point, unready to give up image for presence, the individual for the |
| D:Day10.19 | yourself, Jesus for Christ-consciousness. You needed the reference | point of a “person,” of a being who had lived and breathed and met |
| D:Day10.22 | is what both of these statements mean. This is the culmination | point of these two great objectives coming together in you and your |
| D:Day10.23 | I will still be with you to | point the way, but if you can cease to think of this as the wisdom of |
| D:Day14.13 | 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 voice of the |
| D:Day15.11 | necessary to this next step. One reason is that it allows a starting | point for your practice. While it is possible to practice observance |
| D:Day31.3 | and the experiencer, the knower and the known. This joining is the | point of the experience and the key to experiencing wholeness. |
| D:Day32.14 | teacher and was used as the example life for this work. This is the | point that this work has striven to get across. That man and God are |
| A.28 | At this | point, groups may need to become more flexible, meet less frequently, |
| A.39 | is between you and I more so than has been the coursework up to this | point. It is a time of realizing that “I” am speaking to “you” |
| A.45 | in every dialogue and will not leave you comfortless. It has no end | point in its benefits and associations. |

| C:11.2 | idea that what created you cannot be one with you. Again this only | points to your lack of recognition of what creation really is. And |
| D:2.21 | What this | points out is a pattern in itself. It is a pattern of reaction rather |

| D:12.11 | think in the same way as before. I am about to make the two main | points of this discussion: The first is that thinking, with or |

| D:Day15.13 | step is to access your own readiness. Are you able to be a clear | pool? If not, what prevents you? Do not be too hard on yourself now, |

| T1:9.15 | first reaction might be to puff oneself up with pride, bolster one’s | position, think one’s way through, argue, manipulate, or chastise |
| T1:9.15 | self-esteem or worthiness. The first will feel like an intellectual | position. The second like a feeling position. Turning away from the |

| D:Day38.8 | This is the meaning of the embrace—the | possession, the ownership of belonging—of carrying, or holding |

| D:Day38.9 | return to this ownership, this possession of relationship and union. | Possession and ownership are words that have become faulty ideas in |
| D:Day38.10 | fully known love. To claim something as your own is simply to claim | possession for your own Self. Now it is time to see me as your own |

possibilities (4) |

| C:11.15 | to change your mind, or to allow yourself to be open to new | possibilities. It can be called a change of heart, or a willingness |

| C:6.14 | be a failure if it were possible for it to be so. Yet even this | possibility you would cling to, for with no chance of failure is no |
| C:7.23 | to read these words. Start with this idea: You will allow for the | possibility of a new truth to be revealed to your waiting heart. Hold |
| C:7.23 | not need to believe that this will happen, but only to allow for the | possibility of it happening. Do not turn your back on the hope |
| C:18.7 | This is the error birthed by perception, before which there was no | possibility of misinterpretation, because there was no external world |
| C:19.18 | to shed the concept of the separate self and to believe in the | possibility of response, you will find yourself more afraid to ask. |
| C:19.19 | Out of the deepest, darkest chaos of your mind comes the | possibility of light. It is a bit like traveling backward, or the |
| C:26.3 | punished for such folly. Such fear of greatness and glory, of the | possibility of a fall from greatness and glory, results in many |
| T4:2.22 | some concept of unity or oneness, but you have also denied even the | possibility of experiencing your own direct relationship with God, or |
| T4:2.22 | of experiencing your own direct relationship with God, or the | possibility that your life is a direct experience of the pattern of |
| D:14.11 | a new continent to “discover” first became aware “within” of the | possibility of the discovery of something more. The awareness |

| C:P.10 | glory, without having any grand ideas about yourselves. It is | possible to do much good without recognizing who you are, but it is |
| C:P.11 | in hell rather than choosing heaven. You accept what you view as | possible and reject what you perceive as impossible. You thus cling |
| C:P.14 | before but still governed by insanity, a world in which it seems | possible to help a few others but certainly not all others, but to |
| C:2.4 | Love is the name you give to much you fear. You think that it is | possible to choose it as a means to buy your safety and security. You |
| C:2.5 | cannot be taught but only recognized, how is this recognition made | possible? Through love’s effects. For cause and effect are one. |
| C:2.19 | that living with such fantasies does not work and will not ever be | possible here. |
| C:4.6 | of terror and confusion so rampant that no toehold of security is | possible, and day turns endlessly into night in a long march toward |
| C:5.15 | you see as real is the one you keep outside of yourself, making it | possible to look upon it with your body’s eyes. The one you do not |
| C:5.21 | which you make real in your creation of the world. The only meaning | possible for free will is this: what you choose to join with you, and |
| C:6.2 | what is impossible until the end of your days but you cannot make it | possible. Why not forgive the world for being other than what you |
| C:6.3 | world have come to teach you, stated as simply and directly as is | possible. You are neither separate nor alone and never were and never |
| C:6.14 | most. To not succeed at life would indeed be a failure if it were | possible for it to be so. Yet even this possibility you would cling |
| C:6.14 | come to see in your separated state makes only either/or situations | possible. While a choice for heaven is indeed a choice to renounce |
| C:7.17 | We must return now to relationship and correct as quickly as | possible any erroneous ideas you have, especially those that might |
| C:8.13 | a piece of yourself and realize the unity that is your home? Were it | possible to exist in unity and still withhold, unity would be a |
| C:10.8 | but to encourage you not to give up. Your purpose now is the holiest | possible and all of heaven is with you. All that is needed is your |
| C:10.16 | need not make. As your learning advances you will see that this is | possible, but there may be reasons not to choose this. At this point, |
| C:11.8 | you guard most closely, knowing this is what made the separation | possible. You regard it as your one protection from God, the one |
| C:12.4 | We have said before the only meaning | possible for your free will is your choice of what to join with and |
| C:17.10 | that has happened in creation. This is how the impossible has become | possible. If you were not so determined to believe correction cannot |
| C:18.4 | think that you have changed the nature of the universe and made it | possible for life to exist separately and alone with no relationship, |

| C:23.17 | History has shown you that what you believe is possible becomes | possible. Science has proven the link between researcher and research |
| C:23.17 | findings. Still you find it difficult to believe that what is | possible depends upon what you can imagine being possible. You must |
| C:23.17 | that what is possible depends upon what you can imagine being | possible. You must cease to see the difficulty and begin to see the |
| C:25.9 | Devotion leads to harmony through action. This is | possible for you now only if you have integrated the most basic |
| C:29.14 | No wholeness will be | possible for you while you look at life in terms of schedules, plans, |
| C:29.14 | plans, time-tables, or things to get done. No wholeness will be | possible for you while you compartmentalize your life into designated |
| C:31.3 | the truth? Fear of the truth is like a fear of the impossible being | possible. Like the fear of death, it is the product of upside-down |
| C:31.20 | you give through sharing you gain in truth. No other type of gain is | possible. |
| C:31.23 | within you. As you learn that who you are is love, no deception is | possible, and you can only be who you are in truth. |
| T1:3.23 | Surely to believe that where one miracle worked another might be | possible would be to have ideas of grandeur not meant for you. Here |
| T1:4.5 | When the sun has remained but an object to you, no effect is | possible from the sunset. The sun, even during the most blazing |
| T1:5.1 | remain forever countless, has fear of God remained? The only answer | possible is because fear of the Self has remained. |
| T1:7.2 | you accept suffering. Even those who understand as completely as | possible the truth of who they are accept suffering. My use of the |
| T1:7.5 | ability to perceive differently, in order to make this new learning | possible. If you do not let what you have attained serve you, you |
| T1:9.1 | The art of thought is not | possible without a return to the virgin or unaltered self. The |
| T1:10.10 | the Peace of God for without the Peace of God no true learning is | possible. |
| T3:3.3 | of you carefully constructed your lives to leave as little room as | possible for disappointment to affect it or others you hold dear. |
| T3:4.6 | for it is the one error. Does it not make sense that the only error | possible is that of not being who you are? |
| T3:6.3 | taking care of, or surviving, the many details that seem to make it | possible for you to live within your world. The idea of reward |
| T3:8.12 | People have looked for what they have imagined it was | possible to find. Why would you look for an end to suffering if you |
| T3:10.2 | first lesson 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 |
| T3:14.2 | old would not be broken. Suffering and strife would still seem to be | possible. You would merely look back after the interlude had passed |
| T3:15.5 | new beginning, you often act “as if” you believe a new beginning is | possible, even while awaiting the lapse that will surely prove to you |
| T3:16.3 | the idea that you can create the new from the old. If this were | possible, you would indeed be called to effort and to struggle, to |
| T3:19.14 | and why so many are being called in the strongest manner it is | possible to call them. It is only when what is observable is so |
| T3:19.15 | a new time, a time without parallel or comparison, this will not be | possible. It has been said from the beginning that your role will not |
| T3:22.11 | about all. We will be one body, one Self. No comparison will be | possible. You will realize that differences but lie in expression and |
| T4:1.13 | to become excited by the feeling that something different is | possible; that you might just be able to achieve what others have |
| T4:1.13 | your excitement. If what you are beginning to believe might be | possible is possible, and has been possible, are you to look on all |
| T4:1.13 | If what you are beginning to believe might be possible is | possible, and has been possible, are you to look on all of those who |
| T4:1.13 | are beginning to believe might be possible is possible, and has been | possible, are you to look on all of those who have come before you as |
| T4:1.13 | What a perverse God. If an end to suffering and fear has been | possible, and is possible, why has it not come to be? Why has it not |
| T4:1.13 | God. 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 |
| T4:1.27 | achieve a state of consciousness in which direct communication was | possible, to come to know themselves and God directly, and to pass on |
| T4:2.32 | All of these things are | possible. But true vision is seeing relationship and union. It is the |
| T4:5.9 | it would be for the finger to do so. And yet you think that this is | possible and that this is the meaning of free will. Free will does |
| T4:5.9 | is the meaning of free will. Free will does not make the impossible | possible. It makes the possible probable. It is thus probable that |
| T4:5.9 | will. Free will does not make the impossible possible. It makes the | possible probable. It is thus probable that you will use your free |
| T4:5.11 | choice. At the time of death you are assisted in ways not formerly | possible to you in form, to make the choice to be who you are. You |
| T4:6.1 | and currently. What you envision, imagine, desire, hold as being | possible, is possible, because you make it so. It is your |
| T4:6.1 | What you envision, imagine, desire, hold as being possible, is | possible, because you make it so. It is your interaction, both |

| T4:12.25 | mourn this as a loss, that you have already achieved all that was | possible to achieve as an individual. The purpose of individual |
| T4:12.25 | the final stages of learning, has achieved the ultimate achievement | possible! Let yourself be grateful for the learning you have |
| D:2.19 | patterns have become so entrenched that no new learning is seen as | possible or desirable even though the systems and patterns are known |
| D:4.12 | Divine patterns are the patterns that made your existence in form | possible as well as the patterns that have made your return to your |
| D:4.12 | as the patterns that have made your return to your true identity | possible. These patterns are both external and internal. External |
| D:4.26 | and no place else. It is up to you to accept that your release is | possible, to desire it without fear, to call it into being. |
| D:5.8 | you have been told that the ego has represented a false self—it is | possible to misrepresent. But the new world you have entered need not |
| D:5.17 | While the question of what is not has been answered as fully as is | possible, your questions and my answers in regard to what is are |
| D:5.21 | will soon wonder, if you haven’t already, just how it is going to be | possible to live as your new Self while still in form, while still in |
| D:6.9 | you were to pose to a scientist whether or not these miracles were | possible, they would tell you of all the “laws” of science that would |
| D:8.1 | begin with parameters that make this area as imaginable to you as | possible, because here is where all that you can imagine can become |
| D:8.2 | “working hard” to be the best. Others who have achieved the highest | possible acclaim for their talents find this acclaim unfulfilling |
| D:11.6 | be with you when you have achieved what you have desired? Is it not | possible to conceive of a time in which desire will no longer serve |
| D:11.15 | you? Is it not infinitely greater than the contributions that are | possible for the individual, separated self to make? Is not the |
| D:15.18 | you give in order to receive the maximum connection to unity that is | possible in this time. You realize that some breaks in service will |
| D:17.14 | be with you when you have achieved what you have desired? Is it not | possible to conceive of a time in which desire will no longer serve |
| D:Day2.15 | But just as you are called here to accept me despite | possible misgivings such as religious beliefs, you are called to |
| D:Day2.15 | you one final example in order to make our discussion as clear as | possible. |
| D:Day6.18 | here. The point being made is simply that removal from life is not | possible or desirable. |
| D:Day9.11 | As was said earlier, all of your images are false images. Isn’t it | possible that none are more false than this image of an ideal self? |
| D:Day10.12 | or habits must be done away with before achievement of a new way is | possible. |
| D:Day13.8 | Once fear is gone, true relationship is not only | possible but inevitable. True relationship exists naturally in the |
| D:Day14.1 | in the spacious Self. Acceptance is necessary because escape is not | possible. Everything that is, is with us, which is why we are the |
| D:Day14.1 | the sick or wounded self. It is your acceptance that escape is not | possible that will lead you out of forgetfulness to remembrance. It |
| D:Day15.11 | is that it allows a starting point for your practice. While it is | possible to practice observance in every situation, it is necessary |
| D:Day21.3 | it has always been the action of the receiver that made learning | possible. The receiver was thus also the source because the receiver |
| D:Day22.2 | 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 you are |
| D:Day28.18 | within time because only within time is the experience of separation | possible, and experience is where the power of transformation lies. |
| D:Day28.23 | The key to this movement is the simple realization that it is | possible. This is what our time on the mountain has provided you |

| C:16.24 | God wants no sacrifice from you, yet when you give away your | power you make of yourself a sacrificial lamb, an offering onto God |
| C:16.24 | but in different form. If a talented physician were to give up his | power to heal you would surely call it a waste, and yet you give up |

| T2:11.7 | understanding that all that is real is shared does the ego lose its | power. The ego was made from the belief in separation and all that |
| T2:11.15 | have continue? Does this not but reveal to you a fraction of the | power of your thinking and its ability to shape the world you see? |
| T2:12.2 | the false from the true, you were not able to receive the | power of miracles. |

| D:Day8.24 | Let me repeat a passage from that Treatise here, a passage about the | power to observe what is. “It is not about observing a potential for |
| D:Day8.24 | way that has been shown to you. It is about observing what is. The | power to observe what is, is what will keep you unified with your |
| D:Day8.24 | and sisters rather than separating you from them. There is no | power without this unity. You cannot see ‘others’ as other than who |
| D:Day8.24 | You cannot see ‘others’ as other than who they are and know your | power.” |

| D:Day9.33 | be your confidence. Only these combined abilities will release your | power. |
| D:Day10.1 | Power is the ability to be cause and effect. It is the ability to | |
| D:Day10.1 | cause and effect. It is the ability to harness the cause and effect | power of love. It is a quality of form as well as a quality of union. |
| D:Day10.1 | well as a quality of union. Form is the ultimate expression of the | power of creation. The power of creation, harnessed by form in the |
| D:Day10.1 | union. Form is the ultimate expression of the power of creation. The | power of creation, harnessed by form in the service of form is the |
| D:Day10.1 | form in the service of form is the next step in the expansion of the | power of creation. It is the power of the elevated Self of form. |
| D:Day10.1 | the next step in the expansion of the power of creation. It is the | power of the elevated Self of form. |
| D:Day10.2 | the confidence of the self of form? Certainty is knowing that this | power exists. Confidence is the expression of your reliance upon it. |
| D:Day10.2 | is the expression of your reliance upon it. To rely on your own | power is to rely on the connection that exists between the self of |
| D:Day10.24 | for it is a key to your understanding of your Self and your | power. This dialogue, as one-sided as it may seem when presented in |
| D:Day10.31 | love. As a man, I took a stand for the powerless and called them to | power. I am still doing so. Not because any of you are powerless but |
| D:Day10.31 | because any of you are powerless but because you do not know your | power. If there is one thing associated with my life more so than any |
| D:Day10.31 | than any other, it was this. I was an advocate for all to know their | power. Do you think that my advocacy was a social statement for the |
| D:Day10.32 | that I called for during my life. It is the call to embrace your | power. |
| D:Day10.33 | they lead you, remember one thing only. Remember to embrace your | power. The power of love is the cause and effect that will change the |
| D:Day10.33 | you, remember one thing only. Remember to embrace your power. The | power of love is the cause and effect that will change the world by |

| D:Day10.35 | sought with the tenacity with which these other sources of seeming | power have been sought. This is what has occurred. This is the time |

| D:Day10.38 | anything, your happiness, your peace, and your acceptance of the | power that will cause these things to come to be. Yet I know you and |
| D:Day14.6 | have called your “own,” you are now given the task of claiming your | power as your own. All that is within your power is within your |

| D:Day14.6 | your power as your own. All that is within your power is within your | power. Your power is the power of the many and the one that exist in |

| D:Day15.11 | state for full-scale interaction with the world. Although this | power cannot be misused, to have access to this power in one instance |
| D:Day15.11 | world. Although this power cannot be misused, to have access to this | power in one instance and not another as you move in and out of the |

| D:Day17.8 | given components are necessary for wholeness. Representation of the | power of Christ-consciousness in human form was necessary to complete |
| D:Day18.5 | light. Those who accept completion of the way of Jesus accept their | power to be generators of light in darkness without judging or |
| D:Day18.5 | in darkness without judging or expelling darkness. They accept their | power to represent both the known and the unknown and to reveal the |
| D:Day19.5 | to live as who they are within the world. Until they realize the | power of reflection, they wonder why they, unlike their brothers and |
| D:Day20.9 | of the One Self can be made known, then you are the source and the | power of coming to know and making known. |
| D:Day24.3 | Potential is that which exists. It exists as the | power and energy, the spirit within you. It does not await. It simply |
| D:Day24.3 | you. It does not await. It simply is. It can remain as the untapped | power of transformation, or it can be released. The choice is and is |
| D:Day24.3 | or it can be released. The choice is and is not yours. This | power is a force of nature that exists, not separately from you, but |
| D:Day24.8 | of all the potential that exists. An activated will releases the | power that is potential. Remember potential is that which exists, |
| D:Day24.9 | within you. This merging of will and potential is the birth of your | power and the birth of the new. |
| D:Day26.1 | It has been said that you are the source and the | power of coming to know and making known. It naturally follows, then, |
| D:Day28.18 | the experience of separation possible, and experience is where the | power of transformation lies. This transformation will, however, take |
| D:Day29.1 | joy and sadness, sickness and health, all cease to have the limited | power that all such concepts have formerly held. When they cease to |

| D:Day32.19 | great power when compared to your own? Could you see that God’s | power stems from His relationship to everything rather than from His |
| D:Day32.19 | This is the easiest way to say this, if not quite accurate. Being is | power. But being, like oneness, cannot know itself without |
| D:Day32.20 | God is the being and the relationship. You are capable of all the | power of God’s being but you are powerful only as God is powerful— |
| D:Day32.20 | Because you are in a state of limited relationship, you have limited | power. This is the difference between God and man. This difference, |
| D:Day33.1 | As we begin to speak of | power, we must return to the initial idea put forth in “A Treatise on |
| D:Day33.1 | on the New”: That all are chosen. To embrace an idea of some having | power while others remain powerless is to embrace an idea laden with |
| D:Day33.1 | remain powerless is to embrace an idea laden with conflict. The | power of God exists within everyone because all are one in being with |
| D:Day33.1 | within everyone because all are one in being with God. And yet this | power cannot be used. It can only serve. What does it serve? The |
| D:Day33.12 | Being is | power. Relationship is powerful. In other words, relationship is the |
| D:Day33.12 | is powerful. In other words, relationship is the expression of | power—all the different expressions of power. In the time of Jesus, |
| D:Day33.12 | is the expression of power—all the different expressions of | power. In the time of Jesus, the powerful were seen as being blessed |
| D:Day33.12 | since all are powerful only in relationship, your relationship to | power must be realized. Those who are powerful have realized their |
| D:Day33.12 | realized. Those who are powerful have realized their relationship to | power. Those who see themselves as powerless have not realized their |
| D:Day33.12 | see themselves as powerless have not realized their relationship to | power. They have not made it real and so it has not served them. |
| D:Day33.13 | no one can exist outside of relationship and relationship is where | power is expressed, everyone does have a relationship with power. |
| D:Day33.13 | is where power is expressed, everyone does have a relationship with | power. Power is one in being with each and every one of us. Every |
| D:Day33.13 | power is expressed, everyone does have a relationship with power. | Power is one in being with each and every one of us. Every single |
| D:Day33.13 | and every one of us. Every single individual has within them the | power to affect, change, or recreate the world. Every single |
| D:Day33.13 | single individual does so to the extent to which they realize their | power. A baby realizes the power of its cry within moments of being |
| D:Day33.13 | to the extent to which they realize their power. A baby realizes the | power of its cry within moments of being born. Many a teenager |
| D:Day33.13 | of being born. Many a teenager develops full realization of the | power of their independence. In other words, you each have claimed |
| D:Day33.13 | independence. In other words, you each have claimed some type of | power for yourself, some means of exerting that power, which is the |
| D:Day33.13 | claimed some type of power for yourself, some means of exerting that | power, which is the same as saying some means of individuating the |
| D:Day33.14 | This is the | power of being. The power to individuate the Self. The power to be |
| D:Day33.14 | This is the power of being. The | power to individuate the Self. The power to be who you are. This is |
| D:Day33.14 | This is the 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 |
| D:Day33.14 | power to individuate the Self. The power to be who you are. This is | power and the source of power. This is the force of creation, the |
| D:Day33.14 | Self. The power to be who you are. This is power and the source of | power. This is the force of creation, the only true power. |
| D:Day33.14 | the source of power. This is the force of creation, the only true | power. |
| D:Day33.15 | But again, despite that we each hold the | power of creation within us, it is only in relationship that it is |
| D:Day33.15 | and everyone all of the time, is to realize the full extent of your | power. You cannot realize that you are in relationship with |
| D:Day33.15 | and everyone all of the time and retain the desire to use your | power. This is impossible. The realization that you are in |
| D:Day34.1 | Power is of creation, not of destruction. Yet creation and | |
| D:Day34.7 | If you do not make real your | power, you will experience yourself as powerless. If you experience |
| D:Day34.7 | If you experience your being as powerless, you are negating the | power of God who is one in being with you. |

| D:Day34.8 | our time together by asking each other to experience our power—the | power of sameness of being. Are you willing to experience the power |
| D:Day34.8 | —the power of sameness of being. Are you willing to experience the | power of God? To let it flow through you? Realize how many have said |
| D:Day34.8 | many have said no to this request. Realize the importance and the | power of your willingness to say yes. |
| D:Day35.6 | said before, the mountain came to you. You will thus always have the | power to call upon the mountain top experience and the view of |
| D:Day35.6 | here. 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 |
| D:Day35.11 | knowing you are one in being with your Creator and accepting your | power to create. You return to create unity and relationship, through |
| D:Day35.12 | only be created. To proceed relying upon anything other than your | power to create would be to only attempt to repair or replace. |
| D:Day35.18 | you have made and what you can create when you have accepted your | power and begin to create in unity and relationship. |
| D:Day35.19 | between made and create thus does not fully do justice to the | power you have always retained. But creating in separation is as |
| D:Day36.1 | The exercise of your | power is in the creation of your experience. |
| D:Day36.4 | Powerlessness is moving through life as a being without the | power to create. |
| D:Day36.7 | Creator and creation are one. You are one in being with the | power of creation and different in your relationship to and |
| D:Day36.7 | and different in your relationship to and expression of that | power. |
| D:Day36.9 | that giving and receiving are one and that both are within your | power. This is starting over with the realization that you can give |
| D:Day36.10 | a separate God or created by your separate self. You experienced the | power of being because you were a being who existed, but you did not |
| D:Day36.12 | relationship to God, and thus existence without relationship to the | power of creation. The illusion is an illusion of simply being. Is |

| D:Day37.14 | on a limited scale. You have often not exercised even this limited | power, believing that life just “happens” to you, and then responding |
| D:Day37.22 | by Jesus Christ, was also created by Jesus Christ. Thus is the | power of man and God together, the power of creation. What this is |
| D:Day37.22 | by Jesus Christ. Thus is the power of man and God together, the | power of creation. What this is saying is that there is a God the |

| C:19.17 | be trained to do this. Thus your training begins. And begins with | prayer. |
| C:19.18 | you will find yourself more afraid to ask. All your asking or | prayer awaits is but your belief in the love without fear that has |
| C:29.21 | entirely different place than decision-making. Claiming is akin to | prayer and is but an asking, an asking for your true inheritance. You |
| T1:4.3 | in Miracles began with a definition of miracles. Both are the same. | Prayer and the art of thought are the same. This should serve to make |
| T1:6.2 | place? It will begin by learning the art of thought as the act of | prayer. We have spoken already of memory here, and have presented the |
| T1:6.2 | and recollecting that are involved with memory as acts of creation. | Prayer is but reproducing and recollecting a divine memory and divine |
| T1:6.2 | cannot help but produce a divine outcome. Said in another way, | prayer reproduces the truth and allows the truth to exist as it is. |
| T1:6.2 | prayer reproduces the truth and allows the truth to exist as it is. | Prayer does this because it is the act of consciously choosing union. |
| T1:6.3 | Thus | prayer must be redefined as the act of consciously choosing union. |
| T1:6.3 | union. With this definition, you can see how your life can become a | prayer. This does not negate the fact that a prayer is also a |
| T1:6.3 | your life can become a prayer. This does not negate the fact that a | prayer is also a constant dialogue of asking, being answered, and |
| T1:6.3 | of asking, being answered, and responding. This is the aspect of | prayer that makes of it an act of creation. |
| T1:6.4 | Prayer and miracles work hand-in-hand once both are seen for what | |
| T1:6.4 | God. Thus your concentration must not stray back to old concepts of | prayer or of reaching God through the intercession of prayer as if |
| T1:6.4 | concepts of prayer or of reaching God through the intercession of | prayer as if God were separate from you and accessible only through a |
| T1:6.4 | of communication. You can see, perhaps, how this attitude toward | prayer came about, as it is, like much you have learned, close to the |
| T1:6.5 | To use | prayer only as a means of reaching out to a god seen as separate is |
| T1:6.5 | as separate is to attempt to use what cannot be used. Such ideas of | prayer have had credence because this reaching out does at least |
| T1:6.5 | recognize that there is something to reach out to. Such ideas of | prayer have long been opening doors for those who are ready to walk |
| T1:6.5 | real relationship with God and Self. But this is not the concept of | prayer of which we speak nor one that can reasonably be called a way |
| T1:6.6 | To pray out of fear is not to pray at all, because such | prayer chooses not the union that is the prerequisite. To pray out of |
| T1:6.6 | of lack for what is seen as missing or desired. In contrast, true | prayer, formed in union, is a means of creating, recollecting, or |
| T2:11.15 | against the ego-self. This is highly akin to your former notion of | prayer and assumes that there is something real that you need defense |
| T2:12.7 | The power of thought and the power of | prayer, once aligned, call constantly upon the same power of |
| T3:22.14 | we have referred to as “closed eyes” observation, can be likened to | prayer and thus to the miracle. This is the very miracle that closes |
| D:1.21 | These Dialogues begin with | prayer to remind you of what you have learned in unity, a learning |
| D:6.11 | that what is proven can be disproved—and often is. Thus the | prayer of the Native Americans who thank the sun for rising each day |
| D:6.11 | of the Native Americans who thank the sun for rising each day is a | prayer that acknowledges that the sun may not rise. This is not a |
| D:6.27 | redefined the miracle as the art of thought, or the continual act of | prayer that sustains the unity of Christ-consciousness. |
| D:Day1.2 | spoken of here. Acceptance is. Acceptance is not belief, it is not | prayer. I care not in what form of the truth you believe, nor to what |
| D:Day8.5 | externals, but of internals. We are not talking of the old adage or | prayer that calls you to “accept what you cannot change” but of |
| D:Day37.16 | heaven and earth, and even some possibility of communication through | prayer or other experiential means. But this is still a relationship |
prayerful (2) |
||
| C:25.1 | to an objective is a vow to accomplish. To be devoted is to be | prayerful. As we said in the beginning, to pray is to ask for all to |
prayerfulness (1) |
||
| C:9.38 | In one activity you express your creativity and in another your | prayerfulness. Like a diversified investment portfolio, you think |
prayers (4) |
||
| T1:6.5 | reasonably be called a way of life or likened to the art of thought. | Prayers such as these emanate from either heart or mind and have not |
| T1:6.5 | either heart or mind and have not the power of the wholehearted. | Prayers such as these emanate from the state of fear that is the |
| D:Day1.2 | of the truth you believe, nor to what god you believe you send your | prayers; although if you do not believe in your Self above a form of |
| D:Day1.2 | in your Self above a form of truth, and if you continue to send your | prayers to a god who is other than you, you will not cross the |
praying (3) |
||
| C:P.2 | readiness: asking for all to be included in what we do here. By | praying for all those in need of miracles you are praying for all to |
| C:P.2 | we do here. By praying for all those in need of miracles you are | praying for all to learn as you learn, you are asking to link your |
| C:19.18 | As was said in the beginning, | praying is asking. You but asked for your separated state and it was |

| C:12.2 | is the answer, as if it has not been said before. This message was | preached long ago and still the world remains the same. How could |

precede (5) |

| D:14.15 | the time of becoming, the time of becoming the new you which must | precede creation of the new world. For as it has been said: As |
| D:16.13 | 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 “as |

| D:Day10.32 | But this response will not be generated without the feelings that | precede them! When speaking of gossip we used a simple example of a |

| T3:12.1 | of consciousness. Awareness preceded the statement of “I am.” “I am” | preceded the creation of the Self. The Self preceded the |
| T3:12.1 | of “I am.” “I am” preceded the creation of the Self. The Self | preceded the establishment of the personal self. |
| D:Day1.27 | succeeded my baptism and my acknowledgment as the Son of God, and | preceded my time of living as my Self in the world. So too does it |

| T3:22.4 | to be. This tension will continue if you are unable to integrate two | precepts of this course of learning into your new reality. One is the |
precipice (2) |
||
| C:P.16 | your path and the end of the journey is in sight. You stand at the | precipice with a view of the new world glittering with all the beauty |
| C:P.23 | Seekers are but another category of those who at the | precipice act as if they have hit a wall rather than come across a |

| C:P.23 | as if they have hit a wall rather than come across a bridge. It is | precisely the place at which you stopped that you must return to. |
| C:2.9 | forget, and cannot for even the tiniest fraction of a second. It is | precisely the inability of your true Self to forget that gives you |
| C:7.7 | Yet this Self that you hold so dear that you will never let it go is | precisely what you must be willing to freely give away. This is the |
| C:9.22 | be thinking now that what I have just told you is not an answer is | precisely what the Bible has instructed you to do. I am recorded as |
| T3:14.7 | This is | precisely why you must choose not to keep the life of discomfort |
| T3:16.2 | create. You do not need to have a plan and you do not need to know | precisely what this new world will look like. You simply need to be |
| D:16.12 | feel as if learning has not quite been accomplished in you. This is | precisely why we now discuss this state of becoming, this movement |

precision (1) |
||
| C:I.4 | language and so you regress to the language of the mind with its | precision. The mind so hates to be confused, to be open, to remain |

| T2:11.12 | For even while you have chosen separation, this choice did not | preclude the existence of relationship and it is in relationship that |

| T2:7.20 | The recognition that giving and receiving occur as one is a | precondition for your recognition of the state of unity. As with the |
| D:Day7.2 | Denial of yourself was the | precondition that set the stage for the time of learning. The time of |
| D:Day7.3 | Acceptance of your Self is the | precondition for the time of acceptance. You are no longer denying |

| T4:2.33 | This Treatise is here to help you do so. Learning to see anew is the | precursor of learning to create anew. Creating anew is the precursor |
| T4:2.33 | is the precursor of learning to create anew. Creating anew is the | precursor of the coming of the new world. Remember, only from a |
| D:14.10 | Coming to know is the | precursor of coming to be. The precursor to manifestation. The |
| D:14.10 | Coming to know is the precursor of coming to be. The | precursor to manifestation. The precursor to creation of the new. It |

predetermination (2) |

| D:Day8.14 | in fact, have returned to judgment because you will have made a | predetermination, just as in saying you do not like your job, you |
| D:Day9.20 | in your understanding that our use of these terms is not a cause for | predetermination that we can proceed. For if you believe that we are |
predeterminations (2) |

| D:Day9.18 | image, like a rule, is a mental construct. All mental constructs are | predeterminations. |
| D:Day9.19 | of advancement or enlightenment are mental constructs. They are | predeterminations. |
predetermine (5) |

| D:Day8.14 | a predetermination, just as in saying you do not like your job, you | predetermine a continuing dislike. Soon, you might see a group of |
| D:Day8.16 | certainty. Certainty cannot be predetermined, just as you cannot | predetermine either your likes or dislikes. Being aware of how you |

| D:6.15 | Creation of the new will be | predicated on the discovery of what you did not previously know. This |
| D:Day28.8 | revolutionary that it will take some getting used to. This change is | predicated on all the changes that have come before it, including, |
| D:Day37.3 | relate to other separate things. In short, who you are being is all | predicated, first and foremost, by the relationship that you see |
predicted (1) |
||
| C:I.12 | is not that which has always existed. It is not that which can be | predicted. It is not that which can be formed and held inviolate. The |
predictions (2) |
||
| T4:2.9 | words such as the end of time or the fullness of time, think of the | predictions of the biblical end of time. I speak of this because it |
| T4:11.1 | of this Treatise that this Treatise would not be predictive. Many | predictions of the future have been made, and many of them have been |
predictive (4) |
||
| 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 to fear nor |
| T4:2.1 | externally as well as internally. It is happening. It is not | predictive. I have never been and will never be predictive, for I am |
| T4:2.1 | happening. It is not predictive. I have never been and will never be | predictive, for I am Christ-consciousness. Christ-consciousness is |
| T4:11.1 | stated at the onset of this Treatise that this Treatise would not be | predictive. Many predictions of the future have been made, and many |
predispositions (1) |
||
| C:P.26 | Within that bloodline are genes that carry particular traits and | predispositions. A child of one family may resemble the child of |
predominant (2) |
||
| D:Day17.4 | approach to knowing, which was called learning, was previously the | predominant approach. As this approach became more and more centered |
| D:Day17.5 | There have always been individuals who challenged the | predominant patterns of learning because of the strength of their |

||
| C:7.21 | sake you choose to believe in the version of the truth most | predominate in your society. Thus the truth is different in one place |

| C:P.20 | self and union with God and all your brothers and sisters. You | prefer to think a good deed here, a bit of charity there, is more |
| C:P.20 | a good deed here, a bit of charity there, is more important. You | prefer to give up on yourself and to help others, without realizing |
| C:P.20 | that you can help no others until you have helped yourself. You | prefer selflessness to self because this is your chosen way to |
| C:6.4 | really is. Yet you still refuse to listen and to learn. You still | prefer things to be other than what they are and, through your |
| C:6.10 | need to stoke the fire put behind them. But not you. You, you think, | prefer the seasons, the cold as well as the warmth, the snow as well |
| C:8.11 | the truth. And while there is a part of you that knows this, you | prefer instead of union a game of speculation, conjecture, and |
| C:10.18 | Your mind might still | prefer to be right rather than happy, so it is important that you let |
| C:10.19 | a priority here, but being right is quite important to it. It would | prefer to be serious and heavy-hearted rather than light-hearted and |
| C:10.32 | has returned 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. |
preferable (2) |
||
| C:10.22 | is so ensconced in fear that the known fears of its existence seem | preferable to the unknown fears of any other kind of existence. That |
| T2:4.9 | acceptance of ambiguity. While an acceptance of ambiguity might seem | preferable to conflict, an acceptance of ambiguity is a rejection of |
preference (2) |
||
| C:6.4 | still prefer things to be other than what they are and, through your | preference, choose to keep it so. |
| T3:21.21 | It excludes no race nor religion nor ones of either sex or sexual | preference. It but calls all to love and to live in the abundance of |
preferences (1) |

| T3:21.15 | your race, ethnicity, culture, body size and shape, sex and sexual | preferences, and so on. The aspect that has to do with beliefs is |
pregnant (4) |

| D:Day23.2 | As air carries sound, as a stream carries water, as a | pregnant woman carries her child, this is how you are meant to carry |
| D:Day24.2 | You are the virgin, the | pregnant, the birth, and the new life. This is the way of the world |
| D:Day24.9 | Potential is what you carry, as air carries sound, a stream water, a | pregnant woman her child. You carry your potential to the place of |
| D:Day35.9 | in the way we have previously spoken of carrying. Carry them as a | pregnant woman carries her child. Let them grow. Let them live. And |
prelude (5) |

| C:26.15 | This Course is but a trigger. These words the | prelude to the explosion. It is as if you have been waiting for |
| T1:9.4 | of another is a visible manifestation of gestation, which is the | prelude to resurrection. What was once part of the mother and father, |
| T4:11.4 | Thus I will conclude this Treatise with a | prelude to the sharing that is our new means of communicating and |
| T4:12.4 | This | prelude will address them individually and collectively, and as you |
| T4:12.31 | This is a | prelude to but one form of these dialogues. Sharing in unity is |

| C:14.20 | always there: death may take their loved one prematurely, and if not | prematurely certainly eventually. |
premise (2) |
||
| C:9.43 | you think you need your sister for is thus based upon this insane | premise that freedom can be purchased and that master is freer than |
| T2:13.6 | me now. Our journey together is just beginning as we return to the | premise put forth in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought:” that of the |
preoccupation (1) |
||
| T2:11.3 | Doing battle with the ego has become the | preoccupation of many gifted and learned people. This is the classic |
preparation (11) |
||
| C:2.23 | the return begins. Armies may not yet be marching home, but their | preparation is underway. |
| C:13.1 | exercises that call you to observe your body are for. They are the | preparation for what is to come: the preparation for feeling that |
| C:13.1 | your body are for. They are the preparation for what is to come: the | preparation for feeling that which is not of your body. Our next |
| C:30.2 | becomes but the means for getting there. All learning is seen as | preparation for the future, or for some eventual outcome, rather than |
| D:1.6 | world, the Kingdom that has already been prepared and so needs no | preparation. |
| D:1.18 | As you have been shown, this will not occur by means of | preparation but by means of acceptance. This will not occur by means |
| D:17.18 | Provision is about | preparation for future needs. This is an appropriate response to |
| D:Day15.5 | between observer and observed. The second purpose was your | preparation to move beyond observation. |
| D:Day17.9 | that of Mary, was the way of creation, and was a representation and | preparation for those who would approach Christ-consciousness through |
| D:Day20.1 | Now we begin | preparation for your transition to level ground. We depart even |
| D:Day25.7 | This is a time of | preparation, not a time of waiting. What you need to know now cannot |

| D:Day15.14 | If so, enter the dialogue with the purpose of your final | preparations in mind. Bring your fears into the light of oneness and |
prepare (13) |
||
| C:4.26 | unseen and unprepared for by all your strategy and defenses. You | prepare for everything that goes on outside yourself and nothing that |
| C:9.9 | 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 who has |
| C:9.21 | this one in from that dark and dangerous place. She is cold, and you | prepare a fire and give her a warm blanket for her knees. He is |
| C:9.21 | fire and give her a warm blanket for her knees. He is hungry and you | prepare a feast for him fit to serve a king. This one exists in the |
| T2:7.17 | these modes of behavior, in themselves, are learning aides that | prepare you for acting with the certainty you seek, they again are |
| D:1.2 | “receive” and you “give” from the well of the spirit. You need not | prepare or plan, you need only to claim your inheritance, your gifts, |
| D:1.4 | and struggle is occurring because you do not know what to do to | prepare. You have not been convinced that you are done preparing as |
| D:1.7 | this acceptance the personal self must still struggle and try, | prepare and plan. It does not know how to do otherwise. You do not |
| D:4.30 | State your willingness, accept the coming of your release, and | prepare to leave your prison behind. Invite this simply by inviting |
| D:11.5 | the beginning of this Dialogue? What was spoken of as your desire to | prepare? |
| D:Day21.9 | was not needed. He joined you on the mountain top in order to | prepare you for his departure, a departure from reliance upon him |
| D:Day26.5 | Will you? By tending your garden you will develop this trust and | prepare for your descent to level ground. |
prepared (16) |
||
| C:4.17 | back. You hope your hard work will produce results, the dinner you | prepared be eaten with delight, your ideas greeted as inspired. But |
| C:4.24 | Thus has your perception of love | prepared you for what love is. For within you is the altar for your |
| C:9.9 | do, but this is what your heart will now prepare you for. As you are | prepared, you walk alongside he who has waited for you with a single |
| C:17.13 | yet all you need do is turn back. Being an observer of your body has | prepared you for this. Step back now to the place that has been held |
| C:26.10 | simply come true through your acceptance of these words. But I am | prepared to make it easy for you. |
| C:32.5 | If you do not think you are yet | prepared, if you think you are not yet ready, cease to think. Read |
| T1:1.5 | will require no effort for what you have learned in this Course has | prepared you for this. As each situation that re-enacts a previous |
| T2:6.7 | exercises on an intellectual level. But what these exercises have | prepared you for is an acceptance of the ongoing change that is |
| T2:7.19 | and feelings that arise to the place within your heart that has been | prepared for them. You do not deny them. You bring them first to your |
| T2:11.17 | replacement is indeed a miracle and the very miracle you have been | prepared for within this course of learning. |
| D:1.5 | And yet you know that you have been | prepared by me, and that in union with me you cannot fail. You cannot |
| D:1.5 | me, and that in union with me you cannot fail. You cannot fail to be | prepared, for you are already accomplished. What will it now take for |
| D:1.6 | house of the Lord, the new world, the Kingdom that has already been | prepared and so needs no preparation. |
| D:15.16 | You have been | prepared for this by the realization that your thinking mind will no |
| D:Day3.31 | and an eye upon the bank account? Even those of you who would feel | prepared to let it bring you joy would err in thinking that it could. |
| D:Day15.7 | for which the time has come. The observation you have practiced has | prepared you to move from observation to informing and being informed. |

| C:18.8 | a new choice, a choice to learn from unity, is what this Course | prepares you for. |
preparing (7) |

| T2:2.6 | no other and that comes from the simple act of caring for a child, | preparing a meal, bringing grace and order to a home? |
| D:1.4 | what to do to prepare. You have not been convinced that you are done | preparing as you are done with learning. You still want to figure out |
| D:Day17.9 | that of Jesus, was the way of acceptance, teaching by example, and | preparing a way for those who would approach Christ-consciousness |
| D:Day18.1 | You have been | preparing for this final stage of the fulfillment of the way of |
| D:Day18.1 | stage of the fulfillment of the way of Jesus. You have also been | preparing for the beginning of the fulfillment of the way of Mary. |

| D:Day19.7 | function that creates change is really to be called to a function of | preparing one or many for the change that must occur within. The |
prerequisite (5) |
||
| T1:1.1 | mind does not rest for it can find no peace. A state of peace is a | prerequisite of giving and receiving as one. Any state other than |
| T1:6.6 | pray at all, because such prayer chooses not the union that is the | prerequisite. To pray out of fear is to ask from an unreal state of |
| T1:7.1 | what you would choose to achieve. The true way in which to see this | prerequisite to the condition of suffering is as the perceived |
| T1:8.10 | and live with you in separation. That you recognized union as a | prerequisite to creation is proof of your memory’s tenacity and the |
| T1:10.14 | is the realm of miracles, the condition of the wholehearted, the | prerequisite to the art of thought, the description of heaven, the |
prerequisites (1) |

| C:4.3 | your Source, both obscured Its light and alerted you of Its eternal | presence. Longing is your proof of love’s existence, for even here |
| C:4.9 | there is a practice we must do in order to recognize love’s | presence. We practice living by the law of love, a law of gain not |

| C:5.1 | It is this joining of the human and divine that ushers in love’s | presence, as all that caused you fear and pain falls away and you |
| C:5.29 | Father, yet your invitation is necessary for your awareness of this | presence. As I once was, you are both human and divine. What your |
| C:10.1 | you are with your own body? If you are not even joined with this | presence that you call your home, how can you be expected to join |
| C:18.3 | of a whole that would be a completely different whole without your | presence, just as the universe would be a completely different |
| C:18.3 | as the universe would be a completely different universe without the | presence of the Earth. |
| T1:5.10 | whom you think you are, would not experience anything without the | presence of the heart. The heart is the only cause of your experience |
| T1:10.6 | devices. They have cracked open hearts and minds to the divine | presence within. You have chosen them for just this reason. But you |
| T1:10.6 | You no longer need these experiences to alert you to the divine | presence. Once you have learned to read you do not return to learning |
| T2:11.2 | and, as you now know that struggle of any kind alerts you to the | presence of ego, you will continue to do battle with the ego rather |

| D:Day4.55 | would have considered himself perfect as he approached his father’s | presence? Surely he would not have. You are asked but to accept your |
| D:Day7.7 | will actually be contracting into nothingness. Time is replaced by | presence, by your ability to exist in the here and now in acceptance |
| D:Day9.20 | do not accept your Self as you are, you will not move from image to | presence. If you do not move from image to presence you will never |
| D:Day9.20 | not move from image to presence. If you do not move from image to | presence you will never realize your freedom. If you do not realize |
| D:Day10.13 | This also relates to our discussion of image versus | presence and to the image of your personal self that was discussed at |
| D:Day10.19 | because you were, prior to this point, unready to give up image for | presence, the individual for the universal, reliance on an outside |
| D:Day10.19 | of the person you are and Christ-consciousness, of union and | presence, of the individual and the universal, is what the elevated |

| C:P.24 | sees you only as you are. The Christ in you is also still and ever | present. But the weakening done your ego by whatever learning you |
| C:2.15 | to figures from 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 |
| C:9.19 | indeed, a curse, and one that you would try to tell yourself is not | present in your life. You look to others to feel compassion for, to |
| C:20.37 | Knowing what you do is a | present moment knowing. It is not about plans. It is about |
| C:24.4 | commitment. It requires participation, involvement, attention, being | present. These are the lessons with which we will conclude. |

| D:Day8.8 | and that you will be shown, in the relationship you have in the | present, the response to those you still do. |
| D:Day8.9 | simple acceptance that you do not like the gossip taking place in a | present moment situation, will enable you not to participate, judge, |

| D:Day8.15 | rather than feeling the feelings associated with gossip in the | present moment, you will soon find that a bit of gossip will crop up |
| D:Day8.16 | This is the importance now of accepting yourself in the | present and of understanding certainty. Certainty cannot be |
| D:Day8.16 | either your likes or dislikes. Being aware of how you feel in the | present moment is the only way to certainty. Thus to say that you are |

| T3:1.11 | To say that the personal self has only existed as the self you | presented to others in the past is quite a different statement and |
| T3:1.11 | and has a totally different meaning. The personal self you once | presented to others as “who you were” was a self who existed in time, |

| D:Day2.2 | You have let go the ego, re-viewed your life, unlearned | previous patterns, and now see the difference between the image you |
| D:Day8.21 | is all that will prevent you from “reacting” to feelings out of your | previous pattern. |
| D:Day18.5 | They follow the calling of their hearts without attachment to | previous concerns, for in their renewal they fully realize the |

| C:P.26 | another distant relative or a relative who lived and died many years | previously. You see nothing odd or foreign in this. This is the |
| C:1.8 | disregarded. You might try one more thing and then another that you | previously would not have tried when you were so convinced that you |
| C:17.3 | the unknown is simply that it is unknown. Coming to know what was | previously unknown to you can remove the fear, if you will let it. |
| C:20.43 | because it releases you from trying to acquire that which you | previously believed you were lacking. It releases you from judgment |
| C:22.2 | that establishes a partnership or relationship. While we have | previously discussed relationship as not being one thing or the other |
| C:22.7 | these two examples, the partnership creates something that did not | previously exist by providing a function and a purpose for each. In |
| C:23.15 | what you are is the basis for your entire foundation, a foundation | previously built on fear. Clearly, belief in the body was easily |
| C:23.23 | being tested but given opportunities for unlearning. To learn that a | previously held belief is no longer valid is the only way to truly |
| C:23.29 | You might ask, how do you learn what you have failed to learn | previously? What are the lessons? What is the curriculum? How will |

| T1:1.4 | to reproduce or recall both what has been learned and what has been | previously experienced. This reproducing and recollecting are acts of |
| T1:4.21 | thinking of the ego-mind would simply reinterpret the meaning you | previously gave to these lessons. |
| T1:8.3 | realized. Even though many versions of the truth have been accepted | previously, there is only one truth. There was only one truth at the |
| T1:9.16 | not embraced. You are pulling forth sides of your selves that were | previously undervalued rather than looking for an other to provide |
| T2:3.4 | you must fully recognize the distinction between the ego-self that | previously was the self of learning and experience, and the |
| T2:4.12 | This is not about examining where the various calls you responded to | previously have led you. All these notions are concerned with who you |
| T2:7.17 | judge others, kept yourself from speaking up in instances where you | previously would have stated an opinion. While these modes of |
| T2:7.21 | While as stated | previously, this belief will at times seem difficult to put into |
| T2:8.5 | A new type of acceptance is required here, one not | previously asked or expected of you. This is an acceptance that you |
| T2:9.15 | Because you have not thought | previously of needs as tools every bit as valuable as the others |
| T2:10.12 | you would continue to attempt to learn in the same way that you have | previously learned, you will not learn because the “you” that will be |
| T2:10.13 | wholeheartedness. Thus the union of mind and heart is, as was stated | previously, the first union, the union that must proceed all the |
| T2:11.7 | we spent a fair amount of time addressing needs in a way we had not | previously addressed them. For only with your understanding that all |
| T2:12.9 | There, between you and the “other” whom you have | previously only perceived, is the relationship and the miracle |
| T2:13.1 | The final call of this Treatise is, in contrast to those put forth | previously, a personal call from me to you. By now you have seen that |
| T3:1.1 | exist following the completion and the integration of this Course. | Previously, the personal self that you presented to others |
| T3:1.9 | and to be represented in truth by the form you occupy and have | previously seen as the reality of yourself. |
| T3:14.10 | for the hurts you have caused others. Whatever actions you have not | previously brought to love to be seen in a new light, are now |
| T4:2.31 | different? That you might see auras or halos, signs and clues | previously unseen? Have you included other senses in your idea of |
| D:3.8 | with you into the new. This is the first of many ideas that were | previously taught that I would like to talk of in a new way. These |
| D:3.13 | achieved through willingness. Full awareness in form of what has | previously been hidden by the mists of illusion is the more |
| D:4.11 | could also be called creation, and where we have spoken of creation | previously, divine design was also spoken of. Here I am quite |
| D:5.10 | must be reemphasized now as you are called to see what you might | previously have thought of as inconsequential in the light of truth. |
| D:6.6 | easily drawn distinction—and it is—it is not perhaps as you have | previously seen it, for everything that exists in form is of the same |
| D:6.13 | this event to happen. It would require the re-working of many | previously known “scientific facts,” but this would not prevent them |
| D:6.14 | have spoken of. To discover is simply to find out what you did not | previously know. |
| D:6.15 | of the new will be predicated on the discovery of what you did not | previously know. This will not happen if you cling to “known” truths. |
| D:7.8 | matter, it occupies space and is perceptible to the senses. You have | previously seen this one aspect of form as separating it from mind, |
| D:8.6 | and in that discovery, you realized that although you had not | previously known that this talent or ability existed, it was there |
| D:13.3 | in the form of a surprising discovery, a joyous discovery of the | previously known but long forgotten identity of the Self and all that |
| D:13.5 | be coming to you will be given in a state of wholeness. You have | previously learned of everything in parts and details and |
| D:14.5 | “What might this situation look like if I forgot everything I have | previously known about similar situations, and looked at this in a |

| D:16.18 | your new actions you see archetypes of the previously known and | previously experienced. |
| D:Day3.39 | not think coming with authority and certainty, a certainty you had | previously lacked. When I said earlier in this chapter that you are |
| D:Day4.37 | you. It is a desire for true discovery, a desire to access the | previously unknown. |
| D:Day6.23 | is accelerated by hands-on activities, by doing what one has | previously only learned. |
| D:Day6.26 | important for you to be involved in. All other areas where you might | previously have placed your devotion pale in comparison to our task. |
| D:Day7.1 | the idea of only now coming to acceptance imply but that you were | previously unaccepting? And what does being unaccepting imply but the |
| D:Day15.5 | Previously, what you did not observe, or see, was not real to you. | |
| D:Day17.4 | is all about. An approach to knowing, which was called learning, was | previously the predominant approach. As this approach became more and |
| D:Day19.13 | imagination, create the new by means other than doing, open a way | previously unknown, and as all forerunners do, anchor that way within |
| D:Day20.4 | for surely you have been told much here that you did not | previously know. This isn’t quite accurate however. What has happened |
| D:Day22.5 | as a passage to take into consideration. This we have spoken of | previously as your access to union—as a place or state of |
| D:Day28.17 | the same time however, what is within has been based upon what was | previously externalized. This is what now must change, and as can be |

| C:10.30 | What you will be feeling as you | proceed is the feeling of the tunnel vision of the separated self |

| T2:7.12 | To | proceed into each relationship as who you truly are is to bring |

| T3:11.10 | This is an important distinction that must be kept in mind as we | proceed so that you are not tempted to judge those living in illusion |
| T3:13.1 | that will allow you to exist as who you are in human form, we may | proceed unencumbered by any doubt you might have had concerning |

| D:3.1 | The Covenant of the New is simply our agreement to | proceed together on the palm-strewn path of Christ-consciousness. It |
| D:3.19 | my Self was eternal. One of the major things we will be seeing as we | proceed is the difference between form and content and the difference |
| D:4.26 | be a prisoner in truth, and wonder how, save a grand escape, you can | proceed. But I tell you truthfully, your release is at hand and it |
| D:5.9 | design. True seeing facilitates the return to what is and we but | proceed from this starting point. |
| D:5.19 | We return the form you occupy to its natural state. Only then can we | proceed to creation of the new. Because Christ-consciousness is |
| D:7.25 | of fear we leave behind as we abandon ideas of evolution in time and | proceed to an awareness of how the elevated Self of form can replace |
| D:15.16 | and sustained. Let us begin with the idea of maintenance and | proceed to the idea of sustenance. |

| D:Day9.20 | use of these terms is not a cause for predetermination that we can | proceed. For if you believe that we are proceeding to some |
| D:Day10.24 | in this way, is an exchange and will only become more so as we | proceed. I am not imparting wisdom that you are unaware of but |

| C:2.9 | The insanity of your thought | process and the world you perceive must be made known to you before |
| C:2.16 | the other. You believe that to know with your mind is a learning | process that stands apart from all else that you are. Thus you can |
| C:3.10 | believe your mind is in control of what it thinks. You believe in a | process of input and output, all completely human and scientifically |
| C:3.14 | of the brain, for we bypass it now and send it no information to | process, no data for it to compute. The only change in thinking you |
| C:8.3 | from one step, or one level of learning, to another. This is more a | process of remembering than learning, and this you will understand as |
| C:23.23 | your beliefs, you must unlearn your beliefs. As you begin the | process of unlearning you may feel tested. You are not being tested |
| C:23.26 | to your beliefs? If you do not remember that you are involved in a | process of unlearning that will lead to the conviction you have so |
| C:23.27 | learning both. Control opposes openness. Mastery comes through the | process of both unlearning and learning anew. This is but another way |
| C:23.28 | Looked at in another way, this | process has much in common with forgiveness. The action associated |
| C:23.28 | It is an undoing accompanied by a new means of doing. In the | process of unlearning, both forgiveness and atonement occur. You |
| C:23.29 | into beliefs. Only your own life experiences will reverse the | process. |
| C:25.22 | and choices are made by relying upon the very lessons you are in the | process of unlearning. At the same time, however, decisions and |
| C:25.23 | have received is correct, you will soon learn to trust this quiet | process of discernment. You will know you have succeeded when you |
| C:28.3 | about. This, however, is not about evolutionary steps, and so a | process intent upon bringing the collective to a fever pitch of |
| T2:4.5 | continue to “bump in” to who you think you are as you complete the | process of unlearning. It might be best explained by continuing with |
| T2:4.16 | You are in the | process of unmaking what you have made. The old structure is coming |
| T2:4.17 | This | process too is union for it is giving and receiving as one although |

| T2:10.12 | not learn because the “you” that will be involved in the learning | process will not be the real you. |
| T3:1.9 | This change that is in the | process of coming about has to do with awareness. When you become |

| T3:10.8 | While much the same as forgetting it will seem to have a different | process in practice. This is the practice of ceasing to listen to the |

| T3:17.5 | the physical realm, to have begun to forget the unobservable began a | process of unlearning or forgetting of the truth that has led, |

| T4:1.4 | of the world’s religions are but related to this idea of choosing, a | process of the free will with which you all are endowed. |
| T4:1.14 | seem to lie in the laws of evolution, the slow learning and adaptive | process of man. Surely this would seem a likely answer and one to |
| T4:2.4 | There was no Way or path or | process back to God and Self before me. It was the time of man |
| T4:2.8 | carried forward with you and when you continue to believe in a | process of evolution that has made you better than those who came |
| T4:2.33 | vision of Christ-consciousness is already upon you. You are in the | process of learning what it means. This Treatise is here to help you |
| T4:8.5 | materialized and dematerialized in natural cycles of the creation | process that once begun was unending and thus was ever creating anew. |
| T4:8.7 | you could “do” with the human body, you can imagine the learning | process that ensued. If your reality had been like unto the reality |
| T4:8.7 | were loving acts within a loving universe, a love-filled learning | process. A learning process that was as known to you and chosen by |
| T4:8.7 | within a loving universe, a love-filled learning process. A learning | process that was as known to you and chosen by you as it was by God, |
| T4:12.27 | are speaking of when we talk of patterns. There was a pattern to the | process of learning that was shared by all learners and inherent to |
| D:10.2 | of knowledge that was gained in the time of learning, through the | process of learning. Notice the inability of teaching or learning to |
| D:16.12 | presence. It is upon you as we speak. It is not a learned state or | process and it should not be seen as a cause for disappointment. |
| D:16.13 | world. The new you is the elevated Self of form who you are in the | process of becoming. This time of becoming is the time in between |
| D:Day3.39 | unity. You perhaps desired an answer that “came to you” through no | process you had known before. We spoke of this as thoughts you did |
| D:Day3.51 | The final stage in this | process, this movement toward acceptance, is depression, a lowering |
| D:Day6.7 | the piece of music might be shared with others at each step of the | process, or only late in its development. But at some point, the |
| D:Day6.11 | that is union. You are in and within the movement of the creative | process where there is no distinction between Creator and created. |
| D:Day6.13 | —the simple truth that you are having to go about this creative | process while remaining embroiled in daily life—I want to |
| D:Day7.14 | not an “if this, then that” situation even if it may seem so. Is the | process of breathing an “if this, then that” situation, just because |

| D:Day15.26 | while focusing on your own purpose in being here, will begin a new | process of individuation. The distinctness of your own path will be |

| D:Day18.2 | for the birth of the new and in truth symbolizes it in form and | process. As within, so without. Mary represents the relationship that |
| D:Day22.5 | through your self of form. It is clear, when looked at in terms of | process, that there is no intermediary function involved in |
| D:Day29.5 | and yet always existing within you, has been a part of the | process that has allowed you access to two levels of experience. It |
| D:Day29.6 | Your familiarity with your spacious self has also been part of the | process and part of the experience of merging wholeness and |
| D:Day30.1 | is simply that which yields to wholeness. This yielding is a natural | process. To yield is to give up, surrender, but also to produce and |
| D:Day30.2 | The two levels of experience we have spoken of might be seen as the | process, much like in math, through which the common denominator is |
| D:Day39.46 | you enter union that the tension of opposites is the individuation | process and that you are the bridge. You are the bridge to me. I am |

| C:P.41 | they will see when they are opened. You sit in darkness awaiting | proof that only your own light will dispel. |
| C:1.15 | Your yearning for love is what tells you this is so. It is the | proof you do not recognize. |
| C:3.19 | to treasure for its source? Its source is love, and what greater | proof need you of love’s strength? Such pain as has your heart |
| C:3.23 | love has been withheld from you. We begin by simply accepting the | proof we have been given of love’s strength. For this we will return |
| C:4.3 | Its light and alerted you of Its eternal presence. Longing is your | proof of love’s existence, for even here you would not long for what |

| C:27.19 | is a knowing felt within the heart for which there still will be no | proof, but for which there will be the certainty you heretofore have |
| C:28.3 | collective, both personal and universal, this is the source of all | proof. And so you believe coming together to share common testimony |
| C:28.3 | you believe coming together to share common testimony validates the | proof of inner and collective knowing. You think shared beliefs |
| C:28.5 | There is a trust that goes beyond | proof, and beyond the need for any witnessing at all. This is the |
| C:30.11 | you do not yet have—some information, some guarantee, some | proof or validation. You might think if you are “right” you will be |
| T1:2.9 | learning in this new way once or you would not be here. This is your | proof that you can do so again and again until the new way totally |
| T1:3.6 | is an act of faith. You think the quest for miracles is a quest for | proof that demonstrates a lack of faith but the reverse is true. What |
| T1:3.8 | big of a miracle should you request? How big is your faith? How much | proof does it require? I speak not in jest but ask you to seriously |

| C:16.7 | function cannot be yours while you choose judgment itself as your | proper role. |
| C:25.19 | confusion, perplexity, even rage. You will doubt that these are the | proper feelings of a person living love. Yet they are common feelings |

| C:27.16 | How often have you, even with the best of intentions, not known the | proper response to make? You even wonder as you pray whether you |

| C:P.25 | as the Holy Spirit is, but your identity. While the Holy Spirit was | properly called upon to change your perception and show you the false |
| C:2.4 | as fear’s opposite. This is true enough. But because you have not | properly recognized fear as nothing, you have not properly recognized |
| C:2.4 | you have not properly recognized fear as nothing, you have not | properly recognized love as everything. It is because of the |
| C:7.12 | choose to tell those you encounter of your bad day, and if they are | properly sympathetic you may feel that you have gotten something in |
| T1:1.5 | error from identifying love incorrectly will be relearned as love is | properly identified. |
| T1:4.4 | as a human being and as a gift of the Creator. Now that we have more | properly identified the miracle, you must see that your Self is what |

| C:P.9 | Thus all glory is due you. All glory is yours, and your efforts to | protect it from the ego’s reach are valiant but unnecessary. The ego |
| C:4.19 | Even you who do not recognize what love is | protect what you call love from the illusions you have made. |
| C:4.23 | And so your places to worship love have been built, your sacraments | protect love’s holiness, your homes host those you love most dearly. |
| C:8.12 | you be if union were such as this? How rightly you would fight it to | protect your own secrets from revelation. This faulty perception of |
| C:9.2 | you feel to become so clouded by illusion. If you felt no need to | protect your heart, or any of those bodies that you love, your |
| C:9.3 | The desire to | protect is a desire that arises from distrust and is based totally on |
| C:9.3 | based totally on fear. If there were no fear, what would there be to | protect? Thus, all of your love—the love that you imagine you keep |
| C:9.14 | its place, one step behind fear, in your battle to control or | protect what you have made. |
| C:9.15 | your disposition, is either the desire to control or the desire to | protect. They are really the same but they wear different faces to |
| C:9.15 | Surely it is easy to see that neither the desire to control nor to | protect would exist without the layer of fear that comes before it. |
| C:10.3 | exist in wholeness, including the thought system that you made to | protect the illusion you hold so dear. Your thought system is |
| C:11.9 | To think you must | protect anything from God is insane, and you know that this is so. |
| C:12.20 | extension of the original idea. Just as we discussed your desire to | protect or to control proceeding from the concept of fear, and |
| C:16.13 | will perish. Yet while you watch vigilantly you know that you cannot | protect yourself and that you are not safe. There is only one of you |
| C:16.21 | in authority powerful. While you want those you have given power to | protect you, you also fear them, and they in turn fear the powerless |
| C:19.24 | Whatever happens, your divided notion of yourself allows you to both | protect and conceal. Fault always lies elsewhere. The guiltless part |
| C:22.12 | onion theme, to one of the various layers of yourself. These layers | protect your heart, and a great percentage of them are involved with |
| C:31.11 | is extension. Thus, the upside-down perception that causes you to | protect your private thoughts and see them as the seat of yourself |
| T1:9.15 | thus most vulnerable. In the past your response would have been to | protect and use that which you have most valued. Now your response |
| T2:10.14 | in truth. It releases you from the feeling of needing to control or | protect your treasure. It releases you as well from the static state |
| T3:13.5 | that you would care to make your own, and then that you must | protect what you have against those who would take it away. |
| T3:16.14 | a better place, fall into this category. Your notions of wanting to | protect or control are also notions based upon the necessity you have |
| T4:8.12 | To take away your freedom in order to | protect you, even from yourself, would not have been an act of love. |
| D:4.6 | shape and form was given to what you fear and what you believe will | protect you. |
| D:Day9.6 | is no more. Yet it is not an outward source that you must fear or | protect your freedom against. It is none other than yourself who has |

| C:4.24 | is the altar for your worship, within you has love’s holiness been | protected, within you abides the Host who loves all dearly. Within |
| C:7.5 | effort goes into maintaining this illusion that what you are must be | protected, and that your protection rests on holding this piece of |
protection (19) |

| C:I.3 | another knows what she does not, covers-over her tenderness with | protection. |
| C:7.5 | this illusion that what you are must be protected, and that your | protection rests on holding this piece of yourself separate. Like the |
| C:7.10 | Where truth has come illusion is no more. Truth has no need of your | protection, for truth brought to illusion shines its light into the |
| C:9.2 | what might hurt or slight the little you that they deem under their | protection, or the other little selves you deem under yours. But |
| C:9.2 | in form if not in substance what you have made is. Creation needs no | protection. It is only your belief in the need for protection that |
| C:9.2 | Creation needs no protection. It is only your belief in the need for | protection that has caused what you feel to become so clouded by |
| C:11.8 | this is what made the separation possible. You regard it as your one | protection from God, the one thing that allows you to be other than |
| C:11.9 | that God cannot take away from you, you have not yet given up its | protection. It does not matter to you that it is insane to think that |
| C:11.15 | willingness but to, for a little while, withdraw your fear and your | protection from it. But what this willingness really does is allow |
| C:15.8 | stems here from your faith in fear and all from which you need | protection. To belong to a loyal group, a family or community of |
| C:16.14 | safety against some things some of the time. And for this occasional | protection that has no validity and no proof you give up love! |
| C:16.15 | worth living. You think that to be asked to give up the caution, | protection, and vigilance that protects these moments of joy and |
| T1:2.2 | and which ranged from fear, to struggle, to effort, to control and | protection, can all now be seen as the product of the thoughts of |
| T2:1.8 | at which you can arrive. Like peace, it may feel like a bubble of | protection, something that sets you apart from life and the chaos |
| T2:9.5 | to hang on to anything assumes that what you have is in need of | protection or that it would not be secure without your effort to keep |
| T2:11.5 | A God of love does not do battle for truth needs no | protection. The truth is not threatened by untruth. The truth simply |

| T3:16.15 | 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 that |

| C:1.10 | effort is based on disbelief of this truth, and your attempts to | prove that this truth is not the truth. All that this effort brings |
| C:1.14 | succeeded against mighty adversaries. It is the only way you see to | prove your power and control over a world of chaos. To not engage in |
| C:1.14 | as being that which makes up your life. To not engage is to not | prove your own existence. |
| C:1.15 | This is what you have made this world for: to | prove your separate existence in a world apart from your Creator. |
| C:3.21 | and yet makes the greatest sense of all. These questions merely | prove love’s value. What else do you value more? |
| C:9.4 | happen in relationship. Thus you have chosen to use relationship to | prove your existence and to make things happen. This use of |
| C:9.34 | God is like unto your banker rather than your Father. You would | prove to God that you can “make a go of it” before you would ask Him |
| C:10.5 | separated self that you have made calling you back to the body to | prove to you that it is insurmountable. Many people at this point try |
| C:10.14 | of science, would say you are your body. Even history would seem to | prove this fact as you look back and say even Jesus died before he |
| C:11.2 | yet you make of life a recreation of yourself and in so doing try to | prove that “you” are your own source. |
| C:14.4 | your challenge to creation would be real and only your death would | prove the victor. For if after death your creator God provided you |
| C:14.12 | And how, if it were real—as it surely felt as if it was—could it | prove anything but that love is no answer, and surely not for you? |
| C:14.23 | by some and not by others, a pinnacle of achievement that will | prove your rightness and your success after you are gone. Love you |

| C:9.26 | in what you must constantly strive to do—is a situation set up to | provide relationship. Like everything else you have remembered of |
| C:11.11 | what you have chosen to use it for is the one thing that it cannot | provide—your separation from your Creator. He remains as He is, as |
| C:19.2 | created with love, as all of creation was, it was also created to | provide the desired experience. Thus was fear born, for a separate |
| C:19.5 | to accept that you are here to learn, and that your body can | provide the means. |

| C:22.14 | point has an impact and a motion, so does what passes through you | provide the movement of your journey. What passes through you is |
| C:29.15 | service to God. To be served and to serve. To be provided for and to | provide. To have needs met and to meet needs. This circular nature of |
| 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 | Its further purpose will be to identify the service that you can | provide once your wholeheartedness is completely realized. |
| T1:2.4 | Thus we have sought to uncover your Source, to | provide you access to your heart, from which all responses flow. As |

| T2:3.7 | life into existence. The seeds of creation exist in everything and | provide for continuing creation. Thus the seeds of all that you can |
| T2:8.1 | split by special relationships. While your love relationships will | provide a rich learning ground for you now, they must also now be |
| T2:10.5 | just as a supercomputer needs a knowledgeable operator in order to | provide the information sought, so too do you need to become |

| D:2.17 | happy to use to acquire a desired end, but which, when it does not | provide the solutions you might have desired, becomes a system you |
| D:4.16 | made it difficult even for the divinely inspired thought systems to | provide the learning they were designed to impart. Such is the case |
| D:4.16 | entered with its false ideas and judgment, contrast did not always | provide the lessons it was meant to provide. In addition, believing |
| D:4.16 | contrast did not always provide the lessons it was meant to | provide. In addition, believing the ego had become an externalized |
| D:4.18 | around the new pattern of acceptance, a structure that will | provide you with the home on Earth you have so long sought and used |
| 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 new |
| D:4.22 | which you cannot be fully yourself because of the security it will | provide, you are but tempted by a false security, and are called to |
| D:5.5 | Let me | provide you with an example that illustrates how one aspect of what |

| D:11.12 | the answer to the giving and receiving of these words will | provide the answer to the question your thoughts cannot quite |
| D:11.17 | different ways that lead to many paths of seeking, but illusion can | provide no place in which the seeking ends and the truth is found. |
| D:12.8 | they do “enter” you. Their words must enter you in order for them to | provide a source for your response—to become a means of |
| D:14.10 | next and then the next. But while I say “much as,” this is only to | provide you with a way to understand this, for learning is |
| D:Day3.31 | any peace when you live like this? What succor will your inheritance | provide if thoughts like these accompany your inheritance? Were this |
| D:Day3.31 | in thinking that it could. How many times has what you thought would | provide you with reason for joy failed to do so once acquired? |

| D:Day22.3 | unavailable to everyone rather than being seen as a means to | provide, or channel, availability to everyone. What each person |
| D:Day32.6 | purpose was knowing Himself, what kind of knowing would this | provide? Wouldn’t this suggest a situation similar to a parent |
| D:Day40.11 | being takes on attributes. As was said earlier, this was meant to | provide for the individuation process rather than the process of |

| D:Day8.22 | who you are is revealed, not in the feeling itself. The feeling is | provided by the body, a helpmate now in your service as a route to |

| T3:20.10 | deny it. To see no circumstance as cause to abandon it. Yes, I am | providing you with means to help you know how to live by the truth, |
| D:6.27 | of miracles and of the collapse of time the miracle is capable of | providing. We have redefined the miracle as the art of thought, or |
| D:Day10.11 | rational. It works against you because all feelings are capable of | providing what you have called intuitive knowledge or insights and |
proving (3) |

| C:9.34 | would squander and lay to ruin. The only thing that might succeed in | proving your place as that of royal inheritor would be if you could |
| T3:17.2 | was “other than” he who did the observing. Now your science is | proving to you the relationship between the observer and the |
| D:Day4.2 | by engaging in debate. To engage in debate is but a strategy for | proving one side right and one side wrong. We must begin with the |
provision (8) |
||
| C:26.23 | because of your reliance on a God who is “other” than you for the | provision of your answers. Acceptance of your birth in unison with |
| D:7.23 | in time is part of the old that needs to be left behind. It is a | provision of the time of learning that allows the learning being to |
| D:17.5 | desire. Desire, unlike want, asks for a response rather than a | provision. Desire is a longing for, a stretching out for. Imagine |
| D:17.17 | 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 | Provision is about preparation for future needs. This is an | |
| D:Day3.42 | is the visible world, the outer world, through which your wants find | provision. It is the world of unity, the true reality, through which |
| D:Day3.46 | anger not, who would claim to wait in trusting silence for God’s | provision, are still waiting for provision. Even those of you who |
| D:Day3.46 | wait in trusting silence for God’s provision, are still waiting for | provision. Even those of you who have asked God for abundance, and |
proximity (4) |
||
| C:14.19 | can gaze upon it and feel the benefit of its warmth because of its | proximity. More than this you cannot do, but still you try. With |
| C:23.9 | you are tempted to think of relationship having to do with physical | proximity, think of this example. Now imagine communities of faith. |
| D:17.24 | calls here, louder and stronger than ever before, because of your | proximity to what you have desired. Every hero’s journey returns him |
| D:Day4.35 | as a place beyond the clouds, then the mountain top was symbolic of | proximity. It was symbolic of a place from which God was almost |
prudent (1) |
||
| D:Day22.4 | available and channeling only what one desires to know. Thus, it is | prudent to repeat once again, that you are the expression of the |
public (2) |
||
| T3:1.11 | distinction of all was that between the private self and the | public self, as if who you were to yourself and who you presented |
| D:7.28 | you occupy. You have an address, perhaps a yard, or farm, perhaps a | public spot that has become a favorite park or lake or beach that you |

pull (3) |

| C:20.23 | you are holy and that the world is sacred. A thousand things can | pull you from your remembrance. Forgetting “things” can free you to |
| T4:1.25 | exclude much that they would want to try before they give into its | pull and settle there. But all have become aware that a new |
| D:Day8.27 | Every situation and every feeling that you do not like will | pull you from union toward separation. All feelings of non-acceptance |

| C:9.43 | Although this is illusion, it is the illusion that is sought. The | purchase price is usefulness. And so each joining is seen as a |

| C:1.1 | of the glory of God and all God created. Love is the only | pure response of the created for the Creator, the only response of |
| C:19.7 | all and for knowledge of your Creator. This yearning must but be a | pure yearning—untainted by fear and judgment and approached with |
| C:20.6 | each thread is vibrant and strong. A canticle where each tone is | pure and indivisible. |
| C:20.27 | from love, an outpouring without end. You are thus eternal. You are | pure and innocent because you flow from love. What flows from love is |
| C:25.15 | of joining movements or parties, or of making social contributions, | pure joining is its objective. The first joining comes from within |
| T1:4.16 | a response sound like? Feel like? Look like? It is a response of | pure appreciation and love. It is always available. It is the gift |
| T4:7.8 | even after it is unnecessary. Why? Because it is a choice, | pure and simple. But because it is an educated choice, an enlightened |

purest (1) |

| C:23.22 | to hold former beliefs as well as new beliefs until old beliefs are | purged. The purging of old beliefs frees space for the new. It allows |

purpose (156) |
||
| C:P.15 | an internal and invisible foe to do battle with. This was hardly the | purpose of any teachings of the truth that have as their aim the |
| C:2.8 | facts and the assumed theories of your existence. Although your | purpose here remains obscure, you identify some things you call |
| C:2.8 | believe you will succeed. Others refuse to think of life in terms of | purpose and thereby condemn themselves to purposeless lives, |
| C:4.4 | for your Self. Why would you wonder who you are and what your | purpose here is all about, if not for your recognition, given witness |
| C:5.1 | love is. It is this joining of the human and divine that is your | purpose here, the only purpose worthy of your thought. |
| C:5.1 | joining of the human and divine that is your purpose here, the only | purpose worthy of your thought. |
| C:5.2 | is why your thoughts must be newly dedicated, dedicated to the only | purpose worthy of your thought: the purpose of joining with your real |
| C:5.2 | dedicated, dedicated to the only purpose worthy of your thought: the | purpose of joining with your real Self, the Christ in you. |
| C:6.15 | sense of an insane world, to find meaning within meaninglessness, | purpose among the purposeless. |
| C:6.22 | the light begins to shine, for all are here to aid you. This is the | purpose of the world and of love most kind: to end your |
| C:7.4 | to be unique, your existence would seem to serve even less | purpose than it does now. Thus that which is most separate, or that |
| C:8.5 | and yet again, the Holy Spirit can use what you made for a higher | purpose when your purpose is in union with that of spirit. We will |
| C:8.5 | the Holy Spirit can use what you made for a higher purpose when your | purpose is in union with that of spirit. We will thus examine a new |
| C:9.5 | it was created? What kind of creator would create it and for what | purpose? |
| C:9.9 | prepared, you walk alongside he who has waited for you with a single | purpose instead of alongside the conflicting desires you chose to let |
| C:9.10 | God created cannot be used, but what you have made can, for its only | purpose is your use. Choose to use it now to return you to your real |
| C:9.10 | Choose to use it now to return you to your real Self, and the new | purpose you establish will change its conditions as well as its |
| C:9.32 | and the object of use be one and the same? This insanity makes the | purpose of your life seem to be one of usefulness. The more your body |
| C:9.37 | or sister, is still limited by what you would have it do. Its | purpose, simply stated, is to supply a lack. This is your definition |
| C:9.45 | It is its | purpose that makes use improper. The Holy Spirit can guide you to use |
| C:10.8 | not to discourage you, but to encourage you not to give up. Your | purpose now is the holiest possible and all of heaven is with you. |
| C:13.4 | spirit and not to another, just to differentiate between them. The | purpose here is to show you that they cannot be differentiated or |
| C:14.1 | The | purpose of the life you share here with your brothers and your |
| C:14.1 | your sisters has been to challenge God’s creation. Now your united | purpose must change to that of remembering who you are within God’s |
| C:14.4 | from all else that He created, then would you be vindicated and the | purpose of your war made holy. You would be proven right and creation |
| C:14.16 | results than are somehow meant to occur. Although you know not your | purpose, at least a part of you believes that this is true, for there |
| C:14.19 | it up to look like sacrifice and gifts given, but all with the same | purpose in mind. What none realize is that fear has replaced love. |
| C:14.23 | what heaven is. All that seems to make it change is the function or | purpose you would give it. It is but you who gave heaven the purpose |
| C:14.23 | or purpose you would give it. It is but you who gave heaven the | purpose of giving you something to look forward to, a reward for a |
| C:14.23 | and your success after you are gone. Love you give the same | purpose, but bid it do the job of rewarding you here and now. It, |
| C:14.24 | meaning of each. Yes, they go together, and this you know; but the | purpose of neither is what you have ascribed it to be. The purpose |
| C:14.24 | but the purpose of neither is what you have ascribed it to be. The | purpose you give each thing within your world is what makes it what |
| C:14.24 | within your world is what makes it what it is to you. And as each | purpose you have ascribed to anything proceeds from the foundation of |
| C:14.24 | proceeds from the foundation of fear that built your world, each | purpose is as senseless and as reversed from the truth as is the next. |
| C:14.25 | bring you any closer to it than you are. While you realize not the | purpose of anything in truth, you cannot know love or your own Self. |
| C:14.26 | While your | purpose remains to make yourself and others special, you will not put |
| C:16.11 | your split mind that has made of this memory what will serve its | purpose. What it calls a deficiency is your saving grace. Letting go |
| C:16.11 | would tell you in favor of what your heart already knows is but the | purpose of this Course. |
| C:16.25 | for the common good. You thus behave in “noble” ways that serve no | purpose. |
| C:18.22 | between you and the body is the perfect relationship for the | purpose of learning, since both the experience and the reaction to |
| C:19.24 | your mind and heart in wholeheartedness until you see clearly. One | purpose of the distinctions you have made between mind and heart are |
| C:20.41 | What you each have been given is that which will serve your | purpose. You could have no more perfect gifts, for your gifts are |
| C:22.5 | layers. While such a piercing has no intrinsic value in terms of | purpose, it provides an image of a straight line passing through not |
| C:22.7 | that did not previously exist by providing a function and a | purpose for each. In the case of the needle and the onion, |
| C:22.7 | and the onion, partnership is less apparent because function and | purpose are not apparent. Partnership is thus equated with productive |
| C:22.8 | is similarly interpreted. Intersections that create function and | purpose are deemed meaningful. Intersections that seem to have no |
| C:22.8 | deemed meaningful. Intersections that seem to have no function or | purpose are deemed meaningless. The act of passing through is, of |
| C:22.9 | of the object you have assigned meaning to. You have seen your | purpose as one of assigning meaning to that which intersects with you |
| C:22.10 | your world needing to pass through layers with a seeming lack of | purpose for the passing through. |
| C:22.23 | always imagined it to be. You will find that you fulfill a grand | purpose, and have a wonderful part to play in a grand design. You |
| C:24.4 | lessons that do not touch your heart will accomplish anything. The | purpose of the final lessons are both unlearning and moving through |
| C:25.10 | is contingent on harmony. It is being in agreement about the | purpose for which you are here and your entitlement to be fully |
| C:25.13 | Being healed and recognizing your own state of being healed is a key | purpose of the time of tenderness. You cannot realize your true |
| C:25.18 | concerned about previously. Your life may actually seem to have less | purpose. You may begin to wonder what to do. You will almost |
| C:26.7 | stated before, the quest for meaning is how you have described your | purpose here. To have no meaning to attach to your life is the |
| C:26.7 | seeking the meaning you would give it. You feel no inherent sense of | purpose, no grace, no meaning beyond what you would give to your own |
| C:26.11 | life you would surely do it? Have you not long wished to know your | purpose? To be given a goal that would fulfill the longing in you? |
| C:27.2 | Your being here is not futile or without | purpose. Your being is itself all purpose, all honor, all glory. |
| C:27.2 | here is not futile or without purpose. Your being is itself all | purpose, all honor, all glory. There is no being apart from being. |
| C:27.3 | Yet being, like love, is in relationship. Thus, your | purpose here, rather than being one of finding meaning, is one of |
| C:27.4 | The | purpose of this Course has been stated in many ways and is stated |
| C:27.4 | Course has been stated in many ways and is stated again here: The | purpose of this Course is to establish your identity. The importance |
| C:27.4 | of this Course is to establish your identity. The importance of this | purpose cannot be underestimated. Let us address the question of why |
| C:28.10 | from the witnesses you find along your way. They serve a limited | purpose for a limited time. Now is the time to step beyond the |
| C:30.2 | You attempt to learn for something other than your Self, for some | purpose other than your Self. Thus was service given another route |
| C:31.11 | The | purpose of the mind is extension. Thus, the upside-down perception |
| T1:1.2 | wholehearted responses from those of a split mind. Its further | purpose will be to identify the service that you can provide once |
| T1:4.21 | You are being revisited with these lessons expressly for the | purpose of not repeating your former reaction or interpretation of |
| T2:1.4 | you may still fear your desire. Despite many exhortations that your | purpose here is to be who you are, you may have determined that |
| T2:13.6 | world a while longer. Listen for my voice as I guide you to your | purpose here and linger with you in this time to end all time. We are |
| T3:2.1 | What | purpose would it seem to serve to have anything exist only as a |
| T3:2.1 | as a representation? We might think of this in terms of original | purpose and the original purpose of representation being to share the |
| T3:2.1 | We might think of this in terms of original purpose and the original | purpose of representation being to share the Self in a new way. |
| T3:2.2 | What | purpose has art? While art is but a representation of what the artist |
| T3:2.2 | something known. This is what true relationship does and is its | purpose as well as what it is. |
| T3:2.3 | aloneness, independence, individuality—these became the | purpose you assumed rather than the purpose you started out to |
| T3:2.3 | individuality—these became the purpose you assumed rather than the | purpose you started out to achieve—that of a new way of expression |
| T3:2.5 | corresponding step away from God. As independence seemed to be your | purpose here, you could not keep yourself from attempts to advance in |
| T3:2.6 | behind now as we advance toward truth through returning to original | purpose. Your return to your original purpose eliminates the concept |
| T3:2.6 | through returning to original purpose. Your return to your original | purpose eliminates the concept of original sin and leaves you |
| T3:4.7 | will work is the replacement of illusion with the truth. The very | purpose of this Treatise is to prevent the replacement of illusion |
| T3:5.7 | given once and for all. It is the gift of restoration to original | purpose. Without there having been an original purpose worthy of |
| T3:5.7 | to original purpose. Without there having been an original | purpose worthy of God’s son, the crucifixion would have ended life in |
| T3:5.7 | Instead, the sons of man were freed to pursue their original | purpose. |
| T3:5.8 | be reborn to life eternal. Without rebirth of the Self, the original | purpose goes unfulfilled. Since God is original purpose, original |
| T3:5.8 | Self, the original purpose goes unfulfilled. Since God is original | purpose, original cause, the origin of self and of relationship, |
| T3:5.8 | original cause, the origin of self and of relationship, original | purpose cannot go unfulfilled. What this means is that the illusion |
| T3:13.1 | Now that we have established the consistency of our former | purpose, that of establishing your identity, and our new purpose, |
| T3:13.1 | our former purpose, that of establishing your identity, and our new | purpose, that of the miracle that will allow you to exist as who you |
| T3:18.3 | for the physical experience, it is a natural choice to serve our new | purpose of the miracle that will allow you to exist as who you are in |
| T3:18.3 | This is the perfect example of using what you have made for a new | purpose. It is the perfect ending for the desired experience, as it |
| T3:21.10 | place in which you have experience that can now be used for a new | purpose. |
| T3:21.19 | also use the certainty you have felt about your identity for our new | purpose, the purpose of the miracle that will allow you to exist as |
| T3:21.19 | certainty you have felt about your identity for our new purpose, the | purpose of the miracle that will allow you to exist as who you are in |
| T3:21.19 | have and use the only identity you have been certain of for a new | purpose? |
| T3:21.20 | does not matter, even while realizing that it will serve your new | purpose. Further, there are even two aspects to this contradictory |
| T3:21.22 | there. What I am saying is that your differences can serve our | purpose until differences are no longer seen. What I am saying is |
| T3:22.1 | Although the entire | purpose of these Treatises is to answer the question of what to do |
| T4:1.22 | to offer. It is what has caused your growing desire for meaning and | purpose. It is what has caused you to finally be ready to still your |
| T4:2.23 | connections save for special relationships, and with little | purpose implied in the brief encounters you have with others. You |
| T4:2.32 | all, and that each encounter is one of union and relationship, and | purpose—purpose that will be revealed to you because you exist in |
| T4:2.32 | that each encounter is one of union and relationship, and purpose— | purpose that will be revealed to you because you exist in union with |
| T4:2.33 | unity and relationship through unity and relationship. This is your | purpose now, and this the curriculum to guide you to the fulfillment |
| T4:2.33 | now, and this the curriculum to guide you to the fulfillment of your | purpose. |
| T4:3.3 | The devotion of the observant will return you to your original | purpose. The vision of Christ-consciousness will take you beyond it. |
| T4:3.8 | the vision of love, judgment is over naturally for it has served its | purpose. This is the final judgment. |
| T4:4.17 | that your true Self will be returned to you only through death? What | purpose would this Course serve if it were just another preview of |
| T4:4.18 | What | purpose will death serve when your true Self has joined with your |
| T4:8.9 | —each being’s yearning, passionate, excessive drive to fulfill its | purpose, like a drive to explore the ocean before knowing how to swim |
| T4:8.13 | the Created and the Creator, you expand and enrich God. What other | purpose would God ever have had for wanting to express the Love that |
| T4:8.13 | not for the expansion and enrichment it would add to His being? What | purpose is behind your own desire to do thus? |
| T4:8.14 | the ego that made this desire seem to be for anything other than the | purpose of expansion and enrichment of your being. If it is only in |
| T4:8.16 | which is a true desire consistent with your true nature and your | purpose here. To learn everything there is to know about even one |
| T4:8.17 | constant revelation of what is. True learning has had only one | purpose—the purpose of returning you to awareness of your true |
| T4:8.17 | revelation of what is. True learning has had only one purpose—the | purpose of returning you to awareness of your true identity. Be done |
| T4:12.25 | achieved all that was possible to achieve as an individual. The | purpose of individual learning was the return of unity! Pause a |
| D:1.3 | to believe can fail to fulfill or live your mission and your | purpose. You “see” this failure occurring through ineptness of |
| D:1.12 | the identity of the one you have called yourself. This has been the | purpose of many renaming ceremonies that symbolize the release of the |
| D:1.24 | happening, as you accept your true identity, is a transference of | purpose concerning your body. What once you saw as yourself, you now |
| D:3.3 | It calls to you and asks you to invest your life with the very | purpose you have always desired. You are not purposeless now. Your |
| D:4.29 | fits within the divine design, to where it is a life of meaning and | purpose. This return is the return of wholeness. This return is not |
| D:6.1 | was stated and restated many times so that you would not forget the | purpose of the learning you were participating in. Eventually your |
| D:6.13 | world. Even if it has been a false certainty, it served a great | purpose in the time of learning. Discovery has been a grand |
| D:16.10 | do and what you are rather than what is happening to you. Creation’s | purpose, creation’s cause and effect is wholeness and the continuing |
| D:Day2.3 | You can see how you have moved from seeming purposelessness to | purpose. |
| D:Day3.52 | and felt. This experience has only one combined value, one combined | purpose, the purpose of the final letting-go, the final surrender |
| D:Day3.52 | experience has only one combined value, one combined purpose, the | purpose of the final letting-go, the final surrender that is |
| D:Day4.23 | The answer to both come in the stated | purpose of A Course of Love: Establishing your identity. You needed |
| D:Day4.34 | both the old temptations and the new. You realize that this is the | purpose of our time together here even though you have not put this |
| D:Day4.34 | purpose of our time together here even though you have not put this | purpose into words and put these words into your mind. What is the |
| D:Day4.39 | far in your acceptance of the truth of who you really are, then our | purpose of being together here on this mountain top will go |
| D:Day5.10 | While the | purpose of this work was to have you identify love and thus your |
| D:Day6.17 | on the holy mountain while you remain within your life for the very | purpose of not allowing this to happen. |
| D:Day6.20 | daily life of my time. They were attempts to distract me from my | purpose, to change my focus, to engage me in debate, to lure me from |
| D:Day6.26 | Our dialogue is not without | purpose. You know this or you would not be here. You know this or you |
| D:Day8.1 | our dialogue concerning not removing yourself from life. Your whole | purpose in pursuing the course of this dialogue may have been, at |
| D:Day8.2 | yourself from life. All those frustrations you currently feel have a | purpose: To move you through them and beyond them—to acceptance. |
| D:Day15.5 | be observed physically. This practice had two purposes. The first | purpose was the establishment of a new kind of interaction and |
| D:Day15.5 | and relationship between observer and observed. The second | purpose was your preparation to move beyond observation. |
| D:Day15.11 | in and out of the state of Christ-consciousness will not serve the | purpose of creation. |
| D:Day15.14 | If so, enter the dialogue with the | purpose of your final preparations in mind. Bring your fears into the |
| D:Day15.21 | whom you are engaged in this specific dialogue for this specific | purpose or practice. |
| D:Day15.22 | anything when you slip into observable states of being. There is a | purpose for this time in which both informing and observing, being |
| D:Day15.24 | you have been asked to be here and to join with others here for a | purpose. As such, this time is also a beginning to the practice of |
| D:Day15.26 | you engage in dialogue as the spacious Self and are made known, your | purpose here will become more clear. Thus your ability to embrace all |
| D:Day15.26 | clear. Thus your ability to embrace all while focusing on your own | purpose in being here, will begin a new process of individuation. The |
| D:Day15.28 | the unknown as well as the known, to reclaim your Self and your | purpose here. |
| D:Day30.2 | found, more than one (fraction, part, or variable) must exist. The | purpose of finding a common denominator is to translate what is more |
| D:Day31.8 | individuated Self to experience separately from God is to negate the | purpose of the experience of the Self which is God. To negate is to |
| D:Day32.6 | What would the | purpose of this be? Would God be standing back, judging Himself on |
| D:Day32.6 | has already granted free will so He can’t do that? If the original | purpose was knowing Himself, what kind of knowing would this provide? |
| D:Day35.15 | the possibility of many expressions of creation would negate the | purpose of creation, which is life in relationship, life in harmony, |
| D:Day37.4 | in a country, in a world, wherein everything has a separate name and | purpose. In a sense, this is the end of the story, or the beginning |
| E.22 | will see that you are being who you are being for a reason, for a | purpose, a purpose that will be so clear to you that you will |

| D:4.11 | the new. In this case, the old you would deny is the idea of a | purposeless existence, a universe with no divine order, a life in |
| D:Day2.5 | of meaning. You who have so long striven to give meaning to the | purposeless, here see meaning revealed. |

| D:Day3.22 | success. What you wish for is contingent upon having the “means” to | pursue it, and few of you truly think that money would not solve most |

| C:1.9 | no shame in learning. No shame in following the course another has | put forth. Each true course changes in application. Fifty students |
| C:2.8 | billions makes no difference and is of no consequence. Still others | put on blinders to the world and seek only to make their corner of it |
| C:5.7 | in a frame not of this world. You hold objects up to capture it, to | put a frame around love’s vision and say, “This is it.” Yet once you |

| C:6.11 | heaven of your mind, the meaning you give to joining, the face you | put on eternal peace. With such a vision in your mind it is no wonder |
| C:6.11 | in your mind it is no wonder that you choose it not, or that you | put it off until the end of your days. A heaven such as this would be |

| C:9.45 | from the initial confusion of the use you think your body would | put you to. All such confusion stems from your displacement of |
| C:10.1 | That it has seeming power can only be because you think you | put your power there. If this were true, much power indeed would it |
| C:10.17 | happens to the Son of God by accident. This observation will help to | put the responsibility of your life back into your hands, where it |
| C:11.17 | it. You do not need to think about it, but only let it be. You need | put no words on it, for words cannot express it any more than words |
| C:13.4 | While you may desire to | put what you feel into words, this exercise is not about putting |
| C:14.19 | as they plot and plan for what they never have the opportunity to | put into place. Still others are more coy in their design, and dress |
| C:14.26 | purpose remains to make yourself and others special, you will not | put an end to the separation. And you cannot just let go of your own |
| C:15.12 | or it would have been chosen long ago and saved much suffering and | put an end to hell. But it also is not a difficult choice, nor one |
| C:20.36 | those we have spoken of earlier—the “if onlys” of fear. If you | put half as much faith in these “if onlys” as you have in the “if |

| C:26.11 | you have cried about in frustration? Have you not long sought to | put a name on happiness? Have you not long lamented that if you knew |
| C:31.14 | truth of your existence: that giving and receiving are one in truth. | Put another way, all this says is that in order to be your Self, you |
| T1:3.9 | You will almost feel panic at the thought of such a choice being | put before you. If you will agree to choose a miracle at all, which |
| T1:4.2 | miracles that express the truth of who you are. This Treatise will | put your instruction fully under my guidance and allow you to |
| T1:4.8 | self of the ego-mind. The ego-mind, in its imitation of creation, | put the “you” of the ego or the body at the center of its thought |
| T1:5.15 | It is in this way that you will enter a time of miracles, | put an end to suffering, and thus begin the return to love. |
| T1:7.2 | due to the belief that spirit has chosen a form, and more accurately | put a “lesser” form in which to exist, and that that choice includes |
| T2:1.13 | for a musician or mean that a painter will not eventually | put a brush to a canvas. But it does mean that the treasure exists |
| T2:4.7 | within your life. Let us look now at your reaction to the idea | put forth earlier of having a calling. |
| T2:7.21 | as stated previously, this belief will at times seem difficult to | put into practice, and while your recognition of receiving and of |
| T2:8.1 | In order for this learning to come to completion, you must | put into practice the belief that no relationships are special. Your |
| T2:10.16 | prescribes learning for certain circumstances that would be quickly | put behind you or chosen for specific outcomes. While many love to |
| T2:11.12 | without relationship, then the image of yourself the ego has | put forth would have been a true image. But as life cannot exist |
| T2:12.1 | belief in correction, or atonement, is the final belief that must be | put into practice. |
| T2:12.3 | is but the culmination and the integration of the beliefs we have | put forth here. The miracle I am offering you here is the service I |
| T2:13.1 | The final call of this Treatise is, in contrast to those | put forth previously, a personal call from me to you. By now you have |
| T2:13.1 | fulfilled under the mantle of individuality. You have been told to | put on a new mantle, a new identity. What does this mean? |
| T2:13.4 | unity taking place around you, practice the beliefs that have been | put forth in this Treatise. Know that, in the time of unity, the |
| T2:13.6 | Our journey together is just beginning as we return to the premise | put forth in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought:” that of the |
| T3:2.4 | that has been built around this system. Now, along with the beliefs | put forth in “A Treatise on Unity,” you are asked to accept a new |
| T3:3.6 | you have replaced judgment with forgiveness as a belief. You have | put this belief into practice in each instance where you have seen it |
| T3:3.9 | all that has brought you to where you now are, you might be able to | put the beliefs of this Course into practice. If not quite this |
| T3:3.9 | to the idea that you are not good enough or that you do not want to | put the effort into being good enough. Like a person who believes she |
| T3:7.2 | is not needed for the truth. Thus you can see that the beliefs | put forth in “A Treatise on Unity” are necessary only to return you |
| T3:8.13 | not have to be even while you have accepted that it is? Let us now | put an end to this acceptance through the birth of a new idea. |
| T3:11.2 | also feel an awareness of Self. Without necessarily being able to | put it into words, they no longer feel the statement of “I am” as a |
| T3:13.7 | I say this is a simple place to start because you can | put this new idea into practice today and every day by simply |
| T3:15.13 | the ego and call upon the Christ in you to learn anew. That learning | put an end to the old. Living what you have learned will usher in the |
| T3:16.15 | idea of needing to maintain specialness. A key aid in helping you to | put this temptation behind you is the idea of the holy relationship |
| T3:19.3 | Put these fears to rest. | |
| T3:19.7 | with celibacy I will mention sexual union specifically here to | put behind you any fear that you may have that an end to sexual union |
| T3:22.1 | will take you, for surely your life must change. The very precepts | put forth within this Course, precepts that say that the internal |
| T4:12.18 | idea of joyous challenges that allow for all the creativity you have | put into challenges of the past but without the struggle. Let not the |
| D:2.20 | new way is!” You would say, “Teach me the new pattern and I will | put it into effect.” |
| D:5.11 | that is before us, will be what is, in its representation. Simply | put, this means that form will never be all that you are, but will |
| D:8.8 | the Course and the Treatises, all of what you needed to learn was | put forth. What we are now doing is discussing what was taught from |
| D:10.3 | You think that the use you | put these givens to, what you do with them, how you express them in |
| D:10.7 | prior to the time of learning and that has always existed. When | put into practice and allowed to replace the pattern of learning, |
| D:12.1 | In the terms in which you are used to thinking, terms that have | put the body at the center of your universe and yourself, there is no |
| D:14.4 | that lies beyond the body and mind, form and time. You will need to | put into practice the suspension of belief that was spoken of |
| D:14.13 | Again, these ideas can be likened to the ideas | put forth in “A Treatise on Unity and Its Recognition” when it was |
| D:14.13 | will become your identity.” That treasure is the new way of thought | put forth in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought”, the thought that is |
| D:Day2.21 | begin with the recognition of who I am. This is symbolic of the idea | put forth here that until you are aware of who you are, your life has |

| D:Day6.7 | to the point where it will be appreciated. Finishing touches will be | put on the piece. Some collaboration might take place to get it just |
| D:Day6.17 | This does not, however, mean that this elevation can be postponed, | put off, or can wait for some convenient time. Quite the contrary. We |

| D:Day22.6 | do you channel it? Through what means can you express it? Can you | put it into words, make it into images, tell it in a story? You will |
| D:Day28.1 | ground is reached to begin to view the choices available would be to | put off coming to know the difference between externally and |
| D:Day32.5 | think of God as you think of yourself. When thinking of the ideas | put forth here, you might think of God deciding to know Himself. You |
| D:Day33.1 | As we begin to speak of power, we must return to the initial idea | put forth in “A Treatise on the New”: That all are chosen. To embrace |
| D:Day40.10 | be moved to her art by a feeling of love so intense she could never | put words, music, or paint together in such a way as to express it— |
