C:P.16 | You who have come close to truth only to turn your | back and refuse to see it, turn around and look once again. You have |
C:P.16 | a golden light. When you could have seen this sight you turned your | back and sighed, looking back on a world familiar to you, and |
C:P.16 | could have seen this sight you turned your back and sighed, looking | back on a world familiar to you, and choosing it instead. You do not |
C:P.16 | see that this choice, even made with every good intention of going | back and making a difference, is still a choice for hell when you |
C:P.17 | Self, so too does heaven remain concealed. Thus, in turning your | back on heaven, you turn your back on your Self and God as well. Your |
C:P.17 | concealed. Thus, in turning your back on heaven, you turn your | back on your Self and God as well. Your good intentions will not |
C:P.28 | there is another part of you that knows this is not true. Think | back, and you will remember that, from the earliest of ages you have |
C:P.29 | upon it obscures it from their sight. This is the cost of turning | back when heaven could have been reached, the cost in continuing to |
C:P.42 | and still again. It is ingenious in its ways of getting you to turn | back again and still again, until you feel as if you are going in and |
C:1.14 | from the conflict of this world that causes it, is to turn your | back on the real world and all that has meaning in it. In this you |
C:1.14 | you do not choose this option, thinking that to do so you turn your | back on responsibility and on duty, thus counting this action as a |
C:2.19 | use all you have learned for its own motivations and pat you on the | back for your new abilities. Without your vigilance it may even seem |
C:4.8 | that you have made to replace what you already have will lead you | back as surely as they can lead you astray. Where what you have made |
C:4.17 | will be some fairness here in what you give and what you are given | back. You hope your hard work will produce results, the dinner you |
C:7.9 | gathers from directions that are beyond direction and breathes life | back into what has so long been locked away. After this a gentle |
C:7.23 | only to allow for the possibility of it happening. Do not turn your | back on the hope offered here, and when new life flows in to release |
C:8.15 | body now as the surface of your existence and look upon it. Stand | back from it, for it is not your home. The heart we speak of does not |

C:8.18 | Now that you are standing | back from your body, participating in this experiment to recognize |
C:8.18 | ever before of being in a particular place and time. As you stand | back and observe your body, this is what you will see: a form moving |
C:9.10 | Would you keep that which you now look upon? As you stand | back and observe your body, always with the vision of your heart, |
C:9.15 | because it lies one step beneath the surface of your self. Peel | back the first level of what your eyes allow you to observe and you |
C:9.35 | that you can fix things by yourself and in so doing earn your way | back into your Father’s home. Being willing to be forgiven is the |

C:10.5 | maladies. This is the separated self that you have made calling you | back to the body to prove to you that it is insurmountable. Many |
C:10.9 | still, you will begin to look for your rewards. Later you will look | back upon this time and smile and laugh out loud at the innocence of |
C:10.14 | your body. Even history would seem to prove this fact as you look | back and say even Jesus died before he could rise again as spirit. |
C:10.17 | This observation will help to put the responsibility of your life | back into your hands, where it belongs. You are not helpless, nor are |
C:10.20 | chances for unhappiness through the choices you would make. You look | back longingly at times of happiness and wonder what went wrong and |
C:10.20 | practicality needed to be made. Yet if the separated self can look | back and see that it chose being right over being happy, it will |
C:10.21 | leave it, they will block it out. Some, at this threshold, turn | back. They deny themselves the joy or the pain or the oblivion that |

C:12.18 | do things you might have never dreamed of doing. People often look | back upon their lives and wonder how they got from here to there, and |
C:13.9 | the return of what you know, and let your real Self guide you gently | back to where you want to be and already are in truth. |
C:15.11 | and herein lies your problem. For at the turning point you look | back and see one other you cannot betray, and one other whose special |
C:16.24 | lamb, an offering onto God that God does not want. You look | back on stories of sacrifice from the Bible and think what a barbaric |
C:17.13 | And yet all you need do is turn | back. Being an observer of your body has prepared you for this. Step |
C:17.13 | back. Being an observer of your body has prepared you for this. Step | back now to the place that has been held for you. You have not lost |
C:17.14 | This space you can turn | back to holds no judgment and no fear, and so it is the repository of |
C:18.22 | that which can be experienced to you. You then relay a reaction | back to it. This circular relationship between you and the body is |
C:19.19 | after death. In order to remember unity you must, in a sense, travel | back to it, undoing as you go all you have learned since last you |
C:19.20 | will undoubtedly make you feel impatient, but this is not a going | back that will in any way resemble the “going back” that you have |
C:19.20 | letting the past go completely. All your previous attempts to go | back have been like attempts to pay a debt that will never go away. |
C:19.20 | been like attempts to pay a debt that will never go away. This going | back will leave you debt free and thus free in truth. |
C:19.21 | This going | back is the journey without distance. You need not go in search of |
C:19.22 | This going | back is, in reality, more in the way of reflection than review, |
C:19.23 | perception, can be changed. This is necessary before you can look | back in a new way and not simply cover the same ground you have |
C:19.23 | times, seeing causes for recriminations, blame, and guilt. Looking | back in judgment is not what is required here. Only the opposite will |

T1:4.25 | just a while longer as we uncover all that would still hold you | back. |
T1:5.9 | and the reason, when you have freed your self, that you will look | back and see how easy this one choice really is. |
T1:6.4 | your Self is union with God. Thus your concentration must not stray | back to old concepts of prayer or of reaching God through the |

T2:7.15 | the world. It is also about giving the world the opportunity to give | back. It is about recognizing the constant and ongoing exchange that |
T2:10.10 | you are in need of is the learning that will call who you are | back to your united mind and heart. This is the knowing that already |
T2:10.18 | go, you do not feel gifted or blessed even when you may have looked | back often on situations that did not go as you had planned and |

D:Day1.6 | you have moved beyond the thought system of the ego self, you look | back on it and realize why you could not know your Self while the ego |

D:Day4.42 | an altered state, this state of high elevation? Do you wish to go | back and tell tales of your experiences here and be made special |
D:Day4.43 | Or do you wish to go | back transformed into the elevated Self of form? Do you want to know |
D:Day4.46 | you will resurrect to eternal life here and now. It means no turning | back, no return to fear or anger, no return to separation, no return |
D:Day4.50 | than the acceptance of anger. You are called to accept and not look | back, not to dwell in any of the states through which you arrive at |
D:Day4.54 | and without fear and that there is still anything that can hold you | back. This is what the time of acceptance was meant to show you! |
D:Day4.54 | the time of acceptance was meant to show you! Nothing can hold you | back except fear! You do not have to be perfect—perfect is but a |

D:Day32.5 | Then, perhaps, you might think of God resting, or standing | back and witnessing the unfolding of all that He created. |
D:Day32.6 | What would the purpose of this be? Would God be standing | back, judging Himself on the goodness of what He created? Thinking |
D:Day36.3 | have stood apart from these experiences—all of them. You can look | back on your life and see its form. You could write an autobiography |
D:Day40.8 | and have been forced to reconcile fear with love. Now, in coming | back to relationship and union with me you have realized that you are |
E.5 | returned to your natural Self, and as you begin to move more fully | back into your life, you will realize where the differences between |
E.23 | to realize that everything is different, you will not desire to turn | back, not even for the familiar thought processes that, although they |
E.26 | will recall with poignancy who you once were, but you will not turn | back. You will know that all turning back would be but a retracing of |

C:1.6 | of course all of the ways that you act when you want to hurry are | backward to what you would achieve. Let your worries come and let |

C:23.19 | is inspiration, the infusion of spirit. Taking the creation of form | backward, it leads to this conclusion: Spirit precedes inspiration, |
C:23.20 | form is once removed, or further away from the Source. Again working | backward, however, the form you have created is still a step |
C:23.20 | acknowledging form for what it is and then continuing on, working | backward to change your belief, to allow imagination to serve you and |

C:5.11 | feelings of destruction and violence come from love. You are not | bad, and you have no feelings that can be labeled so. Yet you are |
C:7.11 | withholding. Now you have an excuse—or several excuses—for a | bad day. Why should you give anything to anyone when your day has |
C:7.12 | You might choose to tell those you encounter of your | bad day, and if they are properly sympathetic you may feel that you |
C:9.14 | is the separated self that feels impelled to label feelings good and | bad, some worthy of acknowledgment and the rest worthy only of denial |
C:17.5 | to mean that things you would rather not know, and therefore must be | bad, are what will be revealed. And yet all the evidence of your own |
C:17.5 | your own thoughts will reveal to you your willingness to accept the | bad about yourself and your world. And so this assumption that what |

D:2.17 | that no “system” is foolproof, and still be willing to accept the | bad with the good; but you would freely admit that your belief in any |
D:Day4.50 | acceptance of one thing over another. You are not to label good or | bad. Just to accept. Accept all. You do not have to hesitate here |

D:Day16.11 | predetermine, or decide, for instance, that a physical symptom is | bad, and then choose to find out what is “wrong,” in which case your |

D:Day16.11 | already know that the situation is bad or is most likely going to be | bad, and then you “think” that through your effort or control you can |

C:9.38 | putting various parts together a whole can be achieved. You speak of | balance, and try to find something for one part of yourself in one |
C:9.38 | assets. You fear “putting all your eggs in one basket.” You seek to | balance the things you label drudgery and the things you label |
C:18.16 | heart. This is a first step in what will seem now like an attempt to | balance two separate things, but is really an attempt to unite what |
T1:3.11 | trying and failing when such consequences would seem to hang in the | balance. |
T1:9.16 | is important and universal in its impact. It would seem to be about | balance but is about wholeness. Male and female are labels laden with |
T4:4.2 | of creation taken to extremes. Inherent within the extreme is the | balance. Even in the biblical description of creation was a day of |

C:4.12 | When you think of acting out of love, your thoughts of love are | based on sentiment and must be challenged. Love is not being nice |
C:4.13 | Thus, your image of love is | based upon comparison. You have chosen one who demonstrates that |

C:6.22 | The world cannot fail to disappoint you, for your conception of it is | based upon deception. You have deceived only yourself, and your |

C:7.3 | one thing that—is the basis of all learning in your world. It is | based on contrast and opposites and on separating into groups and |
C:7.14 | to be right, or in control, or to have more or be more. This is life | based on comparison of illusion to illusion. |
C:7.21 | and the effects they seem to cause. All of these relationships are | based on what your senses tell you, the evidence you have relied upon |

T1:10.5 | you wholeheartedly choose peace? Can you choose peace long enough to | become accustomed to joy without sorrow? If you cannot, you will |
T2:1.1 | be regarded as an ability. And finally, through experience, it will | become your identity. We will begin by discussing the nature of |
T2:1.4 | related to those internal treasures you had once hoped to have | become abilities. You think this willingness to accept who you are |
T2:1.5 | how peaceful this place of rest may at first seem, it will soon | become stagnant and unsatisfying. Left in such a place without |
T2:4.19 | that your heart alone can hear. As I have said, your heart has now | become your eyes and ears. Your heart hears only one call, one voice, |
T2:6.5 | what it is of which I speak. You believe that your treasures only | become accomplished abilities within time. You believe that your |

T2:7.17 | answer has changed greatly over time. But for many of you, you have | become less, rather than more forthcoming about your thoughts and |
T2:7.21 | experience giving and receiving being one in truth, your belief will | become true conviction. Your ability to recognize giving and |
T2:8.6 | paths of seeking. The truth of yourself that you reveal now will not | become a new truth as you take a new path. Your path now is sure and |
T2:9.13 | progress? You need a means of disconnecting this drive that has | become instinctual to you. As a being existing in form, you have |
T2:10.1 | you will not tire of this work until you succeed. This is how truths | become dogma and dogma becomes tyranny. This happens by accepting a |
T2:10.5 | in order to provide the information sought, so too do you need to | become knowledgeable in order to access all that is available to you. |
T2:10.13 | Christ in you is the real you. The Christ in you is the Self who you | become when you have united heart and mind once again in |

T3:1.4 | as your personal self becomes a representation of the truth it will | become who you are in truth. |

T3:4.1 | that you were once bad but that by following these tenets you can | become good. It gives no credence and no blame to any past cause for |
T3:5.1 | easiest and most available replacement (the ego or that which has | become familiar, if not known). While few of you have ever before |
T3:6.1 | up your desire for reward is to give up a childish desire that has | become like unto a plague among you. While many of you see it not, |
T3:6.5 | it has not caused you to be unlovable or unrecognizable. But it has | become, like the ego, so much a part of your reality that it must, |
T3:10.7 | seem much unchanged in its outward appearance, it is up to you to | become aware of the total change that has, in truth, taken place. |
T3:10.8 | Along with forgetting there is another practice that will help you to | become aware of this change. While much the same as forgetting it |
T3:11.2 | the self alone. For those existing in the House of Truth, “I am” has | become something larger, an all-encompassing recognition of the unity |
T3:12.5 | identity. By changing our goal now, I am assuring you that you have | become aware of the truth of your identity. The goal of this Course |
T3:14.1 | You may live a more peaceful and meaningful life, but you will not | become the savior I ask you to be, or the architects of the new world |
T3:16.4 | in order to reflect, within your daily life, the new Self you have | become. |
T3:17.8 | the illusion and the truth, must end in order for the truth to | become the one reality. |

T3:21.9 | once lived with the truth. You must find it unobservable! It must | become a concept only. Illusion is a set of facts, or in other words, |
T3:22.10 | and the concerns of the personal self behind. You have needed to | become bored with what has been, tired of the way things were, |
T4:1.13 | to feel, something is different now. You are beginning to | become excited by the feeling that something different is possible; |
T4:1.23 | between good and evil and feel now as if these distinctions have | become more and more obscure. Some have yearned for a return to days |
T4:1.25 | is occurring during which those unable to allow themselves to | become aware of the new state of consciousness are resisting it, |
T4:1.25 | to try before they give into its pull and settle there. But all have | become aware that a new experience awaits and that they stand at the |
T4:1.27 | and contrast. But this also means that the great majority will | become aware of the new state of consciousness and that learning will |

T4:2.7 | that there are others living among you in this time who will not | become aware of their true nature does not mean that it does not |
T4:2.10 | others, or cause you, as the chosen, to be separate, you will not | become fully aware of the new time. Full awareness of the new is what |

T4:3.12 | in physical form, physical form will surpass what it once was and | become the new nature of the created. There is no reason why the |
T4:3.12 | There is no reason why the original nature of your being cannot | become a being the nature of which is form if you so choose it to be. |
T4:4.13 | unknown were not unknown faith would not be necessary. Faith will | become unnecessary, as life everlasting becomes known to you. |
T4:4.15 | is only in the relationship of matter to the divine that matter can | become divine and thus eternal. If you can abide in unity while in |
T4:5.2 | So that you can join your accomplishment with that of all others and | become the body of Christ. |
T4:10.1 | willing to give up the role of learner and to believe that you will | become comfortable and more in your new role as the accomplished. |
T4:10.14 | those are who have joined you in Christ-consciousness, for you have | become who you are and move on from this starting point to creating |
D:1.2 | of the Son of God. In going forth with the vision of unity you | become as I was during life. You “receive” and you “give” from the |
D:1.17 | fully accomplished. They can serve as reminders as you continue to | become the Self you have learned that you are. But further learning |
D:2.13 | your personal control and so patterns of personal control have | become particularly entrenched. Thus have you learned ideas such as |
D:2.19 | need to be endlessly repeated. Now these systems and patterns have | become so entrenched that no new learning is seen as possible or |
D:3.4 | triumph, words unusual to the body of this work but words that will | become usual in our normal conversation in this dialogue. I use them |
D:3.14 | Giving and receiving as one has | become one in form as well as one in idea. What this means, simply |
D:3.19 | in the way separate forms express content. It will be challenging to | become aware that different expressions do not make different. These |
D:4.2 | living organism now raised above the level of the organism as you | become aware of unity of form. |
D:4.7 | fills the mind with fear. And yet those who are imprisoned often | become so acclimated to prison life, that life on the “outside” is no |
D:4.16 | lessons it was meant to provide. In addition, believing the ego had | become an externalized self took you, the true Self and the true |
D:4.23 | authority you must claim before your externally structured life can | become an internally structured life. |
D:4.24 | as one. Let the authority of the new be given and received. | Become the author of your own life. Live it as you feel called to |
D:4.31 | reasons will disappear. All the different reasons you would cite | become what they are—one reason, the same reason—and you will see |
D:5.4 | was created as a true representation of the world within, and as you | become aware of the truth represented in all that encompasses and |
D:5.8 | nothing but a lie. The false is nothing but the false. It does not | become some “thing,” for in the becoming it would need to take on the |
D:5.12 | of learning are all that exist in all you see. But what now will | become of these patterns that are no longer needed as your learning |
D:5.12 | to represent what is and aid you in your return to what is, will | become what is once again. What you can see with your body’s eyes |
D:5.18 | that isn’t changing fast enough to suit the new you whom you have | become. |
D:6.4 | Self is beginning to reveal itself to you in ways of which you will | become increasingly aware. As you identify more intimately with the |
D:7.9 | of all that you are. You are thus now called to discover and to | become aware of all that you are. The body, rather than aiding you in |
D:7.17 | and awareness of who you are now and what this means as you | become the elevated Self of form. |
D:7.28 | an address, perhaps a yard, or farm, perhaps a public spot that has | become a favorite park or lake or beach that you consider partially |
D:8.1 | you as possible, because here is where all that you can imagine can | become your new reality. |
D:8.8 | What was learned was only able to be learned because you chose to | become the wholehearted. You chose to join mind and heart and it was |
D:8.9 | As the mind opens and accepts the new, the art of thought will | become your new means of thinking. What has been learned will become |
D:8.9 | will become your new means of thinking. What has been learned will | become an ability to think wholeheartedly, or with mind and heart in |
D:8.9 | and then that ability will transcend ability and wholehearted will | become what you are, and wholeheartedness your sole means of |
D:8.13 | When you choose to take this step it is taken. What you will | become aware of on the other side of that door will require a new way |
D:9.2 | on acceptance is what is spoken of here. There you were asked to | become aware of what imprisons you, only to have it later suggested |
D:9.14 | to see, on a small scale, the action that, on a large scale, will | become the new way. |
D:10.5 | becoming sharable in form—or in other words, what is continues to | become through the continuation of relationship and the creation of |
D:11.13 | of the Son of God. In going forth with the vision of unity you | become as I was during life. You do not think your way through life, |
D:12.8 | their thoughts through the form of the spoken word. They do not then | become “your” thoughts, but they do “enter” you. Their words must |
D:12.8 | you in order for them to provide a source for your response—to | become a means of communication and exchange. The same is true of the |
D:12.12 | of the self in its unguarded moments. I am attempting to help you to | become aware and comfortable with the idea that, released of old |
D:12.17 | your realization that it seems crazy or impossible to you, you may | become more aware than ever before that what I have said about your |
D:13.7 | no intermediaries are needed or required. Thus you are not called to | become an intermediary trying to bridge the knowing of the separated |
D:13.12 | becomes effortless and joyful and effective. Cause and effect | become one. Means and end the same. |
D:14.3 | and discovery needs to be invited and experienced before you | become partners in the creation of the new. |
D:14.11 | To expand is to open “out,” to spread “out,” to increase, to | become. It is, for us, about bringing “out” what is within. As you |
D:14.11 | become. It is, for us, about bringing “out” what is within. As you | become aware “within” your Self, you enable the expansion of |
D:14.12 | signal a recognition that what you are is not complete, has not yet | become whole, has not been fully birthed. Your forms are complete in |
D:14.13 | be regarded as an ability. And finally, through experience, it will | become your identity.” That treasure is the new way of thought put |
D:14.13 | acceptance, and discovery are, in short, what allow form to | become the more it has so long been seeking to become. |
D:14.13 | what allow form to become the more it has so long been seeking to | become. |
D:14.14 | the more subtle memory of this state that is behind your striving to | become. Now you are beginning to see the vastness of what is meant by |
D:15.22 | point of the highest peak of the highest mountain, you pause and | become accustomed to the thinner air, the view from above, to what |
D:16.5 | the ability to create. Through the art of thought, these abilities | become who we are. God and Creation are synonymous, and you are |
D:16.5 | are synonymous, and you are reminded of that here as you and God | become synonymous through Creation. Means and end are one. Cause and |
D:16.5 | you will have moved through the act of creation and you will have | become a creator. You will be ready for creation of the new. |
D:16.7 | state of unity, the only relationship through which the Self and God | become known to you. Love, God, Creation, are all that remained in |
D:Day1.24 | your true home, is written within you. It only needs to be lived to | become real. You must accept me because I lived it and made it real |
D:Day3.9 | But given time to consider such an idea, you are likely to | become more and more agitated, to go back and forth between the |
D:Day3.36 | It is only in relationship with the God within that the way will | become clear. |
D:Day3.40 | which can be gained through the mind. As you advance, and as you | become more open to other means of accessing the wisdom you once |
D:Day4.33 | natural serve the natural. Some might “go into” the breathing and | become one with it. Others might become the observer and in so doing |
D:Day4.33 | might “go into” the breathing and become one with it. Others might | become the observer and in so doing remove themselves from the body |
D:Day4.43 | to fast and pray only to have to return when you have once again | become a glutton of want, when you once again feel the lack that you |
D:Day4.57 | is your enlightenment realized without judgment. These things | become not achievements, but the acknowledgments of the |
D:Day6.12 | and within the relationship of creation in which created and creator | become one. |
D:Day6.24 | your learning and your teacher has stepped aside as a teacher and | become a companion. Would you desire to prolong your time as an |
D:Day7.2 | about fear is life giving. You thus were given life only to have it | become degenerated by fear. |
D:Day7.13 | there is no need for me to list every new condition here. As you | become increasingly aware of your relationship with union, each of |
D:Day7.13 | and your relationship with each of these new conditions will | become clear to you. |
D:Day8.15 | construct or rule that says you do not tolerate it, then you will | become intolerant. And because you will then act from a predetermined |
D:Day8.18 | matter. This will only happen if you allow yourself to deny and thus | become distanced from your own feelings. |
D:Day9.21 | To represent an image is to | become an image. To become an image, even an idealized image, is to |
D:Day9.21 | To represent an image is to become an image. To | become an image, even an idealized image, is to still become a false |
D:Day9.21 | an image. To become an image, even an idealized image, is to still | become a false idol or even what is referred to in more common usage |
D:Day10.12 | that comes from access to unity may be less difficult for you to | become aware of and accept than the confidence in the self of form |
D:Day10.12 | all know from the time of learning, it is often more difficult to | become adept in doing something in a way different than you have done |
D:Day10.24 | it may seem when presented in this way, is an exchange and will only | become more so as we proceed. I am not imparting wisdom that you are |
D:Day12.1 | We realize this because we realize the sacred space we have | become. Our space is the space of unity. It is the space of ease |
D:Day13.7 | you realize that all exist within. It is only in this way that you | become completely fearless and totally spacious, for fear is part of |
D:Day15.12 | together of spacious Selves. It is a joining without boundaries. You | become clear pools flowing into each other. You make your spirits |
D:Day15.15 | healing properties. To heal is to make whole. To make whole is to | become the spacious Self. To become the spacious Self is to become |
D:Day15.15 | is to make whole. To make whole is to become the spacious Self. To | become the spacious Self is to become ready to be informed and to |
D:Day15.15 | is to become the spacious Self. To become the spacious Self is to | become ready to be informed and to inform with the spirit of creation. |
D:Day15.20 | that movement will always be needed for the clear pool to not | become a stagnant pond. |
D:Day15.26 | as the spacious Self and are made known, your purpose here will | become more clear. Thus your ability to embrace all while focusing on |
D:Day16.9 | also no escape, however, because in Christ-consciousness, you must | become fully aware of the present. The present is the time of no |
D:Day18.4 | of joy and harmony for only through joy and harmony can true service | become true action. It is the way for those who desire to bring |
D:Day18.12 | Both the self and the relationship of self to all must | become known in order for the paradise that has been re-found to be |
D:Day19.1 | does not have a form within your mind and so you see not how it can | become manifest in the world. In other words, you know not what to |
D:Day19.4 | “doing” find their way to true contentment and true creation. They | become who they are to be through their acts of creation. Those |
D:Day19.4 | that this reflection is the new way of creation. In their being they | become what they want to create. |
D:Day19.10 | All are called to | become, but some must “do” in order to “become.” Those called to the |
D:Day19.10 | to do in the sense of fulfilling a specific function that will | become manifest in the world, but are required to do in the sense of |
D:Day19.10 | in the sense of receiving, sharing, and being what they are asked to | become. This is an act of incarnation, and is a new pattern, a |
D:Day19.14 | in form but through relationship. Those following the way of Mary | become mirrors of the truth they discover, reflecting the way to |
D:Day24.6 | cocoon, is to attempt the impossible. It is the nature of spirit to | become. Its wings poke and prod from within as its potential is |
D:Day24.6 | potential is triggered. Only with release from its container can it | become. |
D:Day25.1 | the mind was searching, yearning, questioning, now it is likely to | become still. From the stillness comes its emergence as what it is. |

D:Day27.8 | to practice your apprehension of this new situation, it will | become more than a concept. As was spoken of in “A Treatise on the |

D:Day29.7 | This is why experience has needed to find a place in which it could | become the common denominator between wholeness and separation. Once |
D:Day32.18 | Could it be that while we are one in being with God we can also | become more god-like through the practice of holy relationship? Could |
D:Day32.20 | embrace holy relationship. As you embrace holy relationship you can | become powerful as God is powerful. |
D:Day33.15 | us, it is only in relationship that it is expressed and that we | become powerful. To realize that you are in relationship with |
D:Day35.1 | relationship, you are in relationship with all. Thus you need not | become a world traveler, a joiner, an activist. You simply must |
D:Day35.1 | not become a world traveler, a joiner, an activist. You simply must | become aware of all that you are. |

D:Day39.30 | career, beauty, fame, celebrity, intellect? Then these things have | become the content of who you are. Science, money, fame, celebrity, |

D:16.19 | coming to acceptance of them as what they are—images. This time of | becoming is a time of coming to acceptance that they are not real. |
D:16.20 | The time of | becoming is a time of letting these images be without reacting to |
D:17.20 | You have realized now that you remain in a state of | becoming, and any disappointment you may have initially felt with |

D:Day6.1 | the finite and the infinite in order to complete the creative act of | becoming. |

C:3.5 | All that you now see are but symbols of what is really there | before you, in glory beyond your deepest imaginings. Yet you persist |
C:3.10 | provable. The birth of an idea is thus the result of what has come | before, of seeing something old as new, of improving on a former |

C:9.8 | as you have done this, you can undo this. This is the choice set | before you—to go on believing in the illusion you have made, or to |

C:12.4 | We have said | before the only meaning possible for your free will is your choice of |

C:12.20 | the idea of separation came the idea of an external aspect of life. | Before the idea of the separation, there was no such thing—and |
C:14.12 | at the cost of pain and to leave you more alone and comfortless than | before. How could this be said of love? And how could it have failed |
C:14.13 | it was quite real in a way that is different from your relationships | before or since. No other relationship affected you in such a way. |
C:14.15 | this desire pride or security, or even accept that it is vanity, | before you would call it fear. But fear is what it is. |
C:14.28 | result only of that which does discard and replace. As we have said | before, there are but two emotions. One is love, the other fear. |
C:14.28 | you feel may be threatened. Love threatens most your specialness. | Before your conscious mind has any awareness of what is happening, |
C:15.12 | it both ways, give up your fantasy and realize that real choice lies | before you. No, this is not an easy choice, or it would have been |
C:16.15 | While you claim you need proof | before you can believe or accept something as a fact or as the truth, |
C:16.15 | believe or accept something as a fact or as the truth, and certainly | before you can act upon it, you live as if you believe that what has |
C:16.15 | act upon it, you live as if you believe that what has never worked | before will somehow miraculously work in the future. You have nothing |
C:17.12 | you can reverse or “turn back” to the state in which you existed | before the original error, then you never shall. |
C:18.6 | it as what it is, a learning device given you by a loving creator. | Before the idea of separation, there was no need for learning. But a |
C:18.7 | This is the error birthed by perception, | before which there was no possibility of misinterpretation, because |
C:18.11 | from separation, however, each must experience unity individually | before their belief system can be changed, even when what is learned |
C:18.12 | of time, and thus it seems that great amounts of time are needed | before change of a lasting nature can occur. This is why miracles |
C:18.16 | is but the Source in which all exist as one mind. To say this to you | before we loosened some of your perceptions about the supremacy of |
C:18.22 | of the body to stimulus, we did not speak of this stimulus itself. | Before we do so, we must clarify further the function of the body as |
C:19.15 | experiences of others. Yet, in the case of coming to know what lies | before you now—coming to know your own Self—it is obvious that |
C:19.18 | which you ask is what is in need of adjustment and thus of training | before you can be aware of the answer you will receive. It is clear |
C:19.20 | We are on the home stretch and all you long for is nearer than ever | before. To talk of going “back” will undoubtedly make you feel |
C:19.20 | will in any way resemble the “going back” that you have tried to do | before. While it is, in a sense, a request to review your life, it is |
C:19.20 | review your life, it is the last such review that will be required | before letting the past go completely. All your previous attempts to |
C:19.21 | a passing glance of compassion, the merest moment of reflection, | before it will dissipate and show a new reflection. |
C:19.23 | your mind, and your perception, can be changed. This is necessary | before you can look back in a new way and not simply cover the same |
C:20.1 | burning in your heart quite different from that which you have felt | before. Your heart may even feel as if it is stretching outward, |
C:20.35 | You have not | before now been able to even imagine knowing what you do. You hope to |
C:20.43 | you will receive from them is far grander than anything you would | before have wished to take from them. |

C:23.19 | the spark that allows you to conceive of what never was conceived of | before. This spark is inspiration, the infusion of spirit. Taking the |
C:24.4 | compassion. The time of tenderness is thus the final learning ground | before accomplishment is complete. The learning that occurs during |
C:25.25 | while taking the time for discernment is uncommon. Putting action | before stillness, activity before rest, is seen as synonymous with a |
C:25.25 | discernment is uncommon. Putting action before stillness, activity | before rest, is seen as synonymous with a full life. We must, |
C:26.1 | very far, had few possessions or influential friends. We have talked | before of the tragedy you feel when anyone dies young. You each have |
C:26.7 | No fear is greater than the fear of meaninglessness. And, as stated | before, the quest for meaning is how you have described your purpose |
C:26.9 | Your reliance on these scenes and memories must be broken | before my words can reach your mind and begin to replace these scenes |
C:26.11 | not lost. It does not require you to define it or put a name to it | before it can be yours. Is this not what you have cried about in |
C:27.11 | Heaven to Earth. Although these are complementary goals, as stated | before, these are goals that you cannot accomplish “on your own” or |
C:27.19 | the “right” thing to do without knowing the details of what came | before and what was to come? Sometimes you have acted on this |
C:28.6 | learning both. It is the time of planting and of harvest that comes | before the time of rest. It is the time of celebration that comes |
C:28.6 | before the time of rest. It is the time of celebration that comes | before the quiet and the settling of the dusk. |
C:28.11 | and inspired to act and yet awkward in your actions. We have spoken | before of the desire to create that may arise as you begin to enter |

C:29.18 | The choice to change your belief is | before you. Are you not ready to make it? |

T3:8.5 | are the beliefs that would say that you, and all of those who came | before you, have been falsely made to suffer, a suffering for which |
T3:9.3 | within the house of illusion and call them what you called them once | before. But here you will find yourself gently corrected and when |
T3:9.5 | be held within illusion no more. This was the work of many who came | before you but the time of such work, for you, is past. Many remain |
T3:10.4 | You will be surprised at how many times you recognize blame where | before you saw it not, just as in the beginning you did not recognize |
T3:10.6 | lessons of old, they will not be repeats of lessons that have come | before. They will not be lessons that you find difficult or |
T3:12.2 | self is a step in the chain of consciousness. The steps that came | before that of the personal self did not come within time. The |
T3:12.2 | with the creation of the personal self. Because the steps that came | before that of the personal self did not come in time, they are |
T3:12.4 | to an eternal state of consciousness. This change, as has been said | before, is the miracle. This miracle is the goal toward which we now |
T3:12.8 | in the realm of physicality. You were not “better” or more “right” | before this choice was made than you are now. You made a choice |
T3:14.8 | uncertainty that will make you fear the matters of choice that lie | before you. But this choice is not the choice of continuous decision |
T3:15.8 | ego, special relationships too have breathed their last. As I said | before, these will seem to be remedial lessons. What they are, in |
T3:15.11 | of the ego to the thought system of the truth. As we have said | before, it is impossible to learn the new with the thought system of |
T3:16.4 | like and while its limitations may seem even more frustrating than | before, I am also confident in saying that a hope has been instilled |
T3:16.5 | We spoke once | before within A Course of Love of your impatience and of this Course |
T3:17.4 | As has been said | before, time is a measurement of the “time” it takes for learning to |
T3:17.4 | thought system of the physical, a thought system that was not needed | before there was physical form. The creation story of Adam and Eve, |
T3:18.8 | seem at first as if you are asked to deny the facts that you see | before you in order to observe something other than what is there. |
T3:18.9 | eyes will learn to observe only the truth, even unto seeing what | before but seemed unobservable. |
T3:20.1 | every thought and action will have effect, and the choices that lie | before you will be choices of where your thoughts and actions will |
T3:20.7 | in positive outcomes. You listen to statistics of what has occurred | before and in similar situations, and you believe in what the |
T4:1.11 | The choice that lies | before you now concerns what it is you would come to know. The |
T4:1.13 | and has been possible, are you to look on all of those who have come | before you as failures? Has the seed of the future lain dormant in |
T4:1.13 | make you believe it could come to be now when it didn’t come to be | before? |
T4:1.17 | between this time and the time that has but seemed to have gone | before has already been stated as the difference between the time of |
T4:1.25 | They are in the desperate throes of wanting to experience everything | before they allow themselves to directly experience the truth, |
T4:1.25 | of the truth will exclude much that they would want to try | before they give into its pull and settle there. But all have become |
T4:2.4 | There was no Way or path or process back to God and Self | before me. It was the time of man wandering in the wilderness. I came |
T4:2.7 | But | before we can proceed forward, I must return to and dispel any |
T4:2.7 | dispel any illusion you may have of superiority over those who came | before. That those who came before did not become aware of their true |
T4:2.7 | have of superiority over those who came before. That those who came | before did not become aware of their true nature does not mean that |
T4:2.8 | while ideas such as more and better remain in you. As I have said | before, this is not about evolution unless you wish to speak of |
T4:2.8 | a process of evolution that has made you better than those who came | before, you are carrying judgment. While you continue to believe that |
T4:2.15 | you were a child, and there in all the years since then, and there | before you began your learning of this Course. Your awareness of the |
T4:3.15 | fulfilled. It is you who have chosen the means. Now a new choice is | before you. |
T4:4.4 | Even | before the planet reached the state of over-population, this idea was |
T4:5.1 | many of you believed that I was the Son of God and more than a man | before my birth, during my lifetime and after my death and |
T4:5.1 | and after my death and resurrection, so are you. So are all who came | before me and all who came after me. All that being a Son of God |
T4:6.7 | the nature of the human being any more than have those who have come | before. The changes those who have existed in Christ-consciousness |
T4:7.3 | must realize the many choices that will seem to lie | before you and your brothers and sisters in this time. The |
T4:8.4 | Let us dwell again, for just a moment | before we let this dwelling in the past go forever, on what has “gone |
T4:8.9 | drive to fulfill its purpose, like a drive to explore the ocean | before knowing how to swim or the drive to explore new lands while |
T4:12.15 | is over. Grow not impatient or desirous of a return to journeying | before you begin to experience the joy of sharing and the new |
T4:12.19 | in order to realize some bit of knowledge that you feel is necessary | before you can go on. But I ask you to try to remember to turn to the |
T4:12.31 | you to adapt to the truth of a sharing you will have received even | before it is communicated through the means to which you are |
T4:12.32 | in form are yet to be revealed and shared. This is the time that is | before us, the time of creation of the future, the time of the |
T4:12.33 | This time is | before us. Because you are a being still existing in form, you still |
T4:12.33 | that reveals our lack of separation is part of the creation that is | before us. It will be mutually decided through the coming revelations |
D:1.3 | “see” the pattern of the personal self going forth much as it did | before. You do not “see” the new, the new Self of elevated form or |
D:3.13 | of who you are is different than helping you to learn. As was said | before, you know what you need to know. What we seek to achieve |
D:4.23 | claim in order for it to be your own. An authority you must claim | before your externally structured life can become an internally |
D:5.11 | join with the truth, your representation, in the new time that is | before us, will be what is, in its representation. Simply put, this |
D:5.22 | willingness exceed your trepidation. No longer wait to be told more | before you accept what you have already been told. Do not wait for a |
D:5.22 | what you have already been told. Do not wait for a grander call | before you accept the call that has already sounded in your heart. |
D:6.9 | In the Bible there were many stories about miracles, both | before and after the time in which I lived. If you were to pose to a |
D:6.16 | Be jubilant rather than hesitant about the time of discovery that is | before you. Calling what you think you know into question is not a |
D:7.3 | learning in separation, unity had to be experienced individually | before learning could be shared at another level, and that levels are |
D:8.2 | no learning is needed. Ah, you might say now, this you have heard | before. This idea of no longer needing to learn has intrigued you |
D:12.6 | allow. The urgent need for your return to unity has been mentioned | before, and I remind you of this urgency again. |
D:12.11 | your ego is still at work because you still think in the same way as | before. I am about to make the two main points of this discussion: |
D:12.17 | crazy or impossible to you, you may become more aware than ever | before that what I have said about your way of thinking being insane |
D:13.5 | knowing. You will realize that you know something you did not know | before in form, that it is important, monumental even; but you will |
D:14.3 | why the key to unlocking the secrets of all you might want to know | before beginning the creation of the new are the ideas we have just |
D:14.3 | this exploration and discovery needs to be invited and experienced | before you become partners in the creation of the new. |
D:15.1 | Before creation of the new can begin, you must come to know the way | |
D:15.6 | of wholeness: Movement, being, expression. One did not occur | before the other, as they are not separate. There was movement into |
D:15.6 | into being and an expression of being. But what was there to move | before there was being? This is the way the mind looks at principles, |
D:15.6 | must be seen as the undivided wholeness of the principle of unity | before creation of the new can begin. |
D:15.7 | use the creation story of what was once my tradition as an example. | Before God “said” anything, a mighty wind swept over the wasteland |
D:15.10 | Form unable to create or bear fruit. Form was simply barren form | before movement swept across it and animated it with the attention |
D:16.1 | Barren forms might be seen as forms that existed | before the onset of the state of becoming. You are now in the final |
D:17.5 | It is what comes after the embrace of homecoming, and what comes | before the passing of desire and the reverence that replaces it. It |
D:17.6 | But the desire, the desire is stronger than ever | before. The influx of attainment has begun. The height of achievement |
D:17.6 | glory is realized. But the desire, the desire is stronger than ever | before. |
D:17.8 | But the desire, the desire is stronger than ever | before. |
D:17.12 | But your desire has not left you. Your desire is stronger than ever | before. |
D:17.15 | you. But your desire is still with you. It is stronger than ever | before. |
D:17.24 | Desire calls here, louder and stronger than ever | before, because of your proximity to what you have desired. Every |
D:Day3.12 | them wealth. This is the idea of bartering, which we have spoken of | before, or bargaining, which we will speak more of here. It is the |
D:Day3.27 | headed even beyond desire, and know that desire must first be met | before you can be taken beyond it. |
D:Day3.29 | type of learning, be it philosophy, math, or foreign languages, | before you could learn how to make money, or in other words, to have |
D:Day3.38 | always that knowing through discovery is knowing what was not known | before, and keep this in mind as we consider the knowing of abundance. |
D:Day3.39 | an answer that “came to you” through no process you had known | before. We spoke of this as thoughts you did not think. We spoke of |
D:Day3.50 | and actions at this stage will be tinged with the anger that came | before it. Here is where you may rail at the unfairness, at the |
D:Day3.54 | must first be seen and recognized, acknowledged and accepted, | before it can be brought into form, expressed, and shared. What good |
D:Day4.1 | appropriate to this stage of our dialogue. We can argue here | before we go on. We face together here the temptations of these |
D:Day4.3 | be given the opportunity here to see what other choices might be | before you. |
D:Day4.7 | your attention to the learning of childhood. Learning begins long | before the onset of the time of language that constitutes your ideas |
D:Day4.23 | You needed to first know yourself as a being existing in union | before you could know anything else with the certainty you seek, for |
D:Day4.36 | and desire. We acknowledged that your desire is stronger than ever | before. Now is the time to focus on this desire and fulfillment, to |
D:Day4.51 | To be called to make a new choice | before full acceptance of what is would be confusing. You who are |
D:Day4.52 | I have not so directly linked fear and the time of learning | before, but now you need to see their connection, for if you do not, |
D:Day4.56 | This choice has come | before you might have expected it to. It does not come at the end but |
D:Day4.58 | nostalgia for the way things were. These things will not leave you | before you leave them. But you will leave them. |
D:Day6.3 | Before we can continue to expand on your awareness of the difference | |
D:Day8.16 | of certainty will cause you to be even less certain than you were | before. You will be less certain in your judgments and opinions, but |
D:Day9.15 | an ego-centered goal, a carrot of fulfillment the ego but dangled | before you in the place it called the future. As with all messages of |
D:Day10.3 | We have talked | before of conviction and your willingness to, like the apostles, let |
D:Day10.12 | adept in doing something in a way different than you have done it | before than to do something completely new. This is because old |
D:Day10.12 | new. This is because old patterns or habits must be done away with | before achievement of a new way is possible. |
D:Day10.14 | you now still look for reassurances and proof that you are “right” | before you feel confidence and the ability to act. To “know” before |
D:Day10.14 | “right” before you feel confidence and the ability to act. To “know” | before you act is wise. But to think that doubting your feelings or |

D:Day10.27 | I asked you once | before to review your ideas about the afterlife, a life in which most |
D:Day17.3 | Why do we return to this now, repeating what has been said | before? Because we have reached the time, once again, for you to |
D:Day23.3 | of being a carrier. Your instruction has been given. Now the task | before us is to come to understanding of the means by which you will |
D:Day26.7 | is the birth of creation. It is the culmination of all that has come | before, the All of Everything realized in a single heartbeat, a |
D:Day27.2 | not certainty. You have been assured of a certainty you never | before believed you were capable of. This certainty is beginning to |
D:Day28.2 | coming of age, or the age of reason. These have been discussed | before so this will be kept brief and illustrate only what is needed |
D:Day28.8 | used to. This change is predicated on all the changes that have come | before it, including, and most particularly, on that which was most |
D:Day32.15 | it has revealed to you the truth of relationship. As has been said | before, if separation had severed relationship, then separation would |

D:Day36.12 | life you’ve been given? All the choices in the world save this one | before you now, have made no difference to your state of being. You |

D:1.10 | true identity, not through being identity-less. The reign of the ego | began during just such a time of identity-less-ness. You cannot go on |
D:2.1 | to receive and left behind your effort to “learn” this Course, | began the work that is being continued here, the work of replacing |
D:3.7 | of life that were needed in the time of learning. This is why we | began quite truthfully and simply with an acceptance of the new and |

T3:15.5 | When attempting to give oneself or another a new | beginning, you often act “as if” you believe a new beginning is |
T3:15.5 | or another a new beginning, you often act “as if” you believe a new | beginning is possible, even while awaiting the lapse that will surely |
T3:15.5 | while awaiting the lapse that will surely prove to you that the new | beginning is but an act and that nothing has really changed. A |

T3:15.9 | The new beginning you are called to now is a new | beginning that, like all others that you have offered or attempted, |
T3:15.9 | will take place in relationship. The difference is that this new | beginning will take place in holy, rather than special, relationship. |

C:1.14 | nothing to do with struggle. You think also that to leave struggle | behind, to disengage from the conflict of this world that causes it, |
C:4.21 | home within your world. It is where you keep love locked away | behind closed doors. It is where you return after your forays into |
C:4.21 | that you will live to see the day when you can leave the madness | behind, and that you will still find love behind the doors you have |
C:4.21 | you can leave the madness behind, and that you will still find love | behind the doors you have passed through so many times in a journey |
C:5.9 | does mark your place—but in eternity, not here. What you leave | behind is never real. |
C:5.13 | else? An urge to violence may mean many things, but always lurking | behind it is an overwhelming desire for peace. Peace may mean |
C:6.10 | to have the sun shine every day and the need to stoke the fire put | behind them. But not you. You, you think, prefer the seasons, the |
C:9.14 | contempt. It is your language that gives emotion its place, one step | behind fear, in your battle to control or protect what you have made. |
C:9.19 | no way to dispel your own. You hide fear beneath the surface, and | behind each alternative label you would give it, in a desperate |

C:15.10 | something worthy of your diligence and something that will not leave | behind your brothers and your sisters to a life of suffering and of |

T1:1.6 | goals of this Course. The mechanics of the mind can in truth be left | behind now as we concentrate rather on the art of thought. |
T1:1.7 | and over-stimulated mind were what you were asked to leave | behind as this act of leaving behind was the only means by which you |
T1:1.7 | mind were what you were asked to leave behind as this act of leaving | behind was the only means by which you could allow your mind to be |
T1:2.2 | We identified much for you to leave | behind within the pages of A Course of Love. These many things which |
T1:2.9 | the new way totally replaces the old and the art of thought leaves | behind forever the need for what the ego-mind once but seemed to |
T1:2.21 | into awareness and yet there is also acknowledgment of the Creator | behind the Created. |
T1:3.12 | for the return to unity, the urgency of the need to leave fear | behind. Can you not, from this one example of your fear of miracles, |
T1:3.13 | This too is a means of unlearning. How can you leave | behind all you fear without seeing all you fear for what it is and |
T1:3.14 | will be asked to make this final choice, this choice to leave fear | behind for good and to become who you are. |
T1:3.24 | in each of these scenarios and the reasoning or lack of reasoning | behind them? You are not worthy. You are not saintly, godlike or even |
T1:10.12 | The extremes that we are talking of leaving | behind are extremes of reaction to a chosen lesson. What you are |
T1:10.12 | of reaction to a chosen lesson. What you are being asked to leave | behind is the need for such lessons. If you have learned the |
T2:1.4 | that despite having learned much about the need to leave judgment | behind, you judge your desire to be other than you are now, including |
T2:10.16 | learning for certain circumstances that would be quickly put | behind you or chosen for specific outcomes. While many love to learn |
T2:11.2 | continue to do battle with the ego rather than leaving it forever | behind. |
T3:2.6 | We leave all of this | behind now as we advance toward truth through returning to original |
T3:2.6 | can begin to represent the truth for it leaves untruth, or the ego, | behind. It is only this one, unaltered Self that is the truth of who |
T3:2.13 | happily congratulating yourself on leaving such adolescent thinking | behind, this thinking must be quickly replaced with a new idea about |
T3:4.1 | not call you to effort of any kind. It will not tell you to leave | behind your addictions or to go on a diet or a fast. It will not even |
T3:6.5 | part of your reality that it must, like the ego, be consciously left | behind. |
T3:6.6 | as well as all of your reasons for bitterness, and bitterness itself | behind. Bring bitterness no longer to the dwelling place of Christ |
T3:8.5 | The choice that hasn’t been made is the choice to leave this idea | behind. The choice that has been made is to believe in a savior who |
T3:8.6 | the choice to suffer, as well as the choice to leave suffering | behind, has always been found within? Who then are you to be angry |
T3:10.9 | these disguises will be easily seen through and the uncertainty | behind them revealed. Thoughts of the Christ-mind will hold a |
T3:13.2 | will not end. Once fear has entered, doubt and guilt are never far | behind. |
T3:13.4 | system of the truth; accepting the truth and leaving illusion | behind. The new thought system is simple to learn. What is of love is |
T3:14.5 | are. This is a key idea that will help you immeasurably in leaving | behind patterns of behavior based on the old thought system of fear. |
T3:14.8 | reveal to you all that you would keep and all that you would leave | behind. What you would keep is of love. What you would leave behind |
T3:14.8 | leave behind. What you would keep is of love. What you would leave | behind is of illusion. |
T3:14.10 | this is not so. You must choose to leave this blaming of yourself | behind, no matter what it is you feel you have need to blame yourself |
T3:14.11 | has been mighty. The choice now is not a choice to explore the why | behind it or to look for remedies for the past. The choice now is |
T3:16.15 | specialness. A key aid in helping you to put this temptation | behind you is the idea of the holy relationship in which all exist in |
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 may |
T3:19.10 | Leave all blaming of the body | behind and see it not as the source of temptations of the human |
T3:20.18 | find the price of admission is their willingness to leave the old | behind. This is a price they must freely give and it cannot be |
T3:22.10 | to leave the personal self and the concerns of the personal self | behind. You have needed to become bored with what has been, tired of |
T4:2.13 | awareness of the new from growing, and so must be consciously left | behind. |
T4:8.13 | expansion and enrichment it would add to His being? What purpose is | behind your own desire to do thus? |
T4:9.4 | But now the time is upon you to leave learned works | behind in favor of observation, vision and revelation. Now is the |
T4:9.4 | of observation, vision and revelation. Now is the time to leave | behind study for imagining, envisioning, and desire. Now is the time |
T4:9.7 | that has advanced your progress. But now be willing to leave them | behind. |
T4:9.9 | study and your sharing of the same may find it difficult to leave it | behind. A choice made by you to stay with learning rather than to |
T4:10.13 | beyond what they can teach and to the state of leaving learning | behind. |
T4:10.14 | Those of you willing to leave learning | behind will create the new. This will not happen through learning but |
T4:10.14 | but an extension of the past. You who are called to leave learning | behind are called to return to your union and relationship with God |
T4:11.2 | The future depends on you who are willing to leave learning | behind and who are willing to accept your new roles as creators of |
T4:12.10 | throughout your lifetime and have expressed a willingness to leave | behind. Only you can leave these conditions behind. The only way to |
T4:12.10 | a willingness to leave behind. Only you can leave these conditions | behind. The only way to do so is to, for a short while, be vigilant |
T4:12.13 | this not a good example of the learned wisdom that needs to be left | behind? But what of the questions it raises? Do you not respond to |
T4:12.13 | temptations of the human experience. Are you willing to leave them | behind? Are you willing, for instance, to leave behind the idea that |
T4:12.13 | to leave them behind? Are you willing, for instance, to leave | behind the idea that contentment cannot and should not last? That |
T4:12.25 | this graduation, this anointing, this passage. And leave it | behind. Realize that it has made you new. Rejoice and be glad and |
T4:12.34 | willingness for the new, a willingness that included the leaving | behind of the old, a willingness that included the leaving behind of |
T4:12.34 | leaving behind of the old, a willingness that included the leaving | behind of fear and judgment and a separate will, was necessary to |
D:2.1 | you who found within this willingness an ability to receive and left | behind your effort to “learn” this Course, began the work that is |
D:3.9 | These are the ideas that replace the learned concepts we leave | behind. |
D:4.25 | upon prison walls of old. Whatever imprisons you must now be left | behind. |
D:4.30 | accept the coming of your release, and prepare to leave your prison | behind. Invite this simply by inviting what brings you joy. Invite |
D:4.30 | first to this new world, but leave not your brothers and sisters | behind. Invite them too. For those who are imprisoned are one with |
D:5.16 | of “What is next?” If there is nothing to learn, if coursework is | behind you and accomplishment is complete, what then are you to do? |
D:6.21 | When you remember that we have left blaming | behind, you will see that belief in fate is just as systematic and in |
D:6.21 | that belief in fate is just as systematic and in need of being left | behind as is belief that illness can be blamed on certain habits. |
D:6.21 | thinking of the “if this, then that” thought system we are leaving | behind. As a non-learning being you are now called to accept that you |
D:7.23 | them. But evolution 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 |
D:7.25 | These scenarios of fear we leave | behind as we abandon ideas of evolution in time and proceed to an |
D:8.3 | All of these ideas we leave | behind as we concentrate instead on the very simple idea of each of |
D:12.13 | primary ideas that will assist you in leaving patterns of thinking | behind is the idea that thought as we are describing it, the thought |
D:14.14 | not, even though it is the more subtle memory of this state that is | behind your striving to become. Now you are beginning to see the |
D:15.21 | Let this idea enter you now. You have left | behind the conditions of learning. Why? Because they are no longer |
D:15.21 | be needed. This will be as big a step as was the step that left | behind the conditions of learning, a step from which you at times |
D:Day1.4 | states you value. To marry one man you must choose to leave others | behind. This is required. This does not mean the married woman will |
D:Day1.6 | unity. This choice was made, and thus you have arrived here and left | behind the state of the initiate, the time of waiting. You have |
D:Day1.7 | you will not realize that you have ascended or that you have left | behind the conditions of the initiate. If you believe these are words |
D:Day3.11 | Let us return for a minute to the base idea | behind the issue of money or abundance: the way you have learned. The |
D:Day3.12 | which we will speak more of here. It is the base idea that is | behind all ideas of lack, an idea you so thoroughly learned during |
D:Day3.22 | you can live the life you would choose to live. You may have left | behind aspirations of wealth, and replaced them with ideas of having |
D:Day4.2 | will be the truth, the new temptations that will incite you to leave | behind the temptations of the human experience. |
D:Day4.13 | being told that all of the treasure you might desire is locked away | behind a gate to which you have no key. |
D:Day4.45 | you so that you could be taken to this place and tempted to leave | behind the temptations of the human experience. |
D:Day4.46 | return to judgment. It means no longer trying to leave these things | behind for they will be gone. It will mean no longer striving. It |
D:Day4.52 | do not, you will not realize that fear is all that needs to be left | behind. You will still think you have more to learn because you are |
D:Day4.55 | not have. You are asked but to accept your own homecoming. To leave | behind the time of wandering, seeking, learning. To leave behind fear |
D:Day4.55 | To leave behind the time of wandering, seeking, learning. To leave | behind fear for the embrace of the love and safety of your true home. |
D:Day4.59 | Join me in this choice, and we will leave | behind the old and continue our movement toward creation of the new. |
D:Day4.60 | Thus will the secret of succession be returned to you and put | behind us forever the temptations of the human experience. |
D:Day5.19 | in the pattern of learning, as your earnest effort to leave effort | behind implies. Remember that union cannot be learned, for if it |
D:Day6.15 | Yet realize that if you were told to leave these worries | behind and get away from it all, you would likely rebel and find many |
D:Day6.26 | or that it would elevate only a few and leave all others | behind, you would not feel this devotion. You know our task is holy |
D:Day6.32 | will soon see that the difficulty of the time of learning truly is | behind you. |
D:Day8.29 | consequences of reacting without “thought.” Judgment has been left | behind and with it the need for opinions and for “thinking” about |
D:Day24.7 | Yet the body is not left | behind. The caterpillar, the cocoon, and the butterfly have always |
D:Day27.3 | have had well-examined external lives. You have looked for causes | behind the direction in which life led you, but your life was not |
D:Day28.4 | As the time of schooling is left | behind, the next stage of movement begins, that of external movement |
D:Day34.5 | your willingness to leave striving for specialness and differences | behind. Now you need only realize that your wholehearted desire has |
D:Day35.6 | of practical benefit to you as you leave the mountain top experience | behind? This question has been asked in this way in order to remind |
D:Day38.4 | through your brief contemplation of these feelings that this is | behind us now. Know that we can be known and loved equally for who we |
D:Day39.11 | of special and not-so-special relationships you have chosen to leave | behind, are not done away with but only transformed. Relationship is |
D:Day39.41 | learn the unlearnable. This is why we have left the time of becoming | behind, why you stand ready to enter the time of being in union and |
D:Day39.44 | of our direct relationship that you will not leave your humanity | behind. You will realize that as you enter union by means of the |

E.2 | is the only choice you will still have to make—the choice to leave | behind the old in order to be. |
E.19 | Leave these words | behind now, and bring only the dialogue with you. You will unerringly |

C:2.13 | In this scenario a benevolent and loving God who has extended His | being into the creation of the universe has somehow managed to extend |
C:2.13 | to extend what is not of Him, to create what is unlike to His | being in every way. Would even you attempt such folly? Would you |

C:2.16 | that knowing being who you are. You think you can love without love | being who you are. Nothing stands apart from your being. Nothing |

C:6.1 | one you would want to have. You have to forgive this reality for | being different than you have always imagined it to be. You have to |
C:6.1 | have always imagined it to be. You have to forgive yourself for not | being able to make it on your own, because you have realized the |

C:9.32 | of use to others and to yourself, the more worthwhile you see it as | being. Ages have passed since creation began, and still you have not |

C:10.6 | than separate and be quick to point out to you the impossibility of | being other than what you are—a body. This is the “fact” it |
C:10.9 | curriculum. To want a reward for goodness, for trying harder, for | being closer to God than your brother or sister, are all desires of |
C:10.13 | This is not as easily said about the concept of not | being separate, however. The only thing you find really difficult to |
C:10.17 | be “Would you rather be right or happy?” Only the ego would choose | being right over happiness. As you observe your body, also observe |
C:10.19 | system of the separated self. Happiness is not a priority here, but | being right is quite important to it. It would prefer to be serious |
C:10.19 | to be serious and heavy-hearted rather than light-hearted and gay. | Being serious about life is a major strategy of the separated self, |
C:10.20 | made. Yet if the separated self can look back and see that it chose | being right over being happy, it will congratulate itself despite its |
C:10.20 | separated self can look back and see that it chose being right over | being happy, it will congratulate itself despite its unhappiness and |
C:10.27 | from behind as you follow it about its day, without, at first even | being aware that this is happening. And you will find that as you |
C:12.2 | You feel a little duped at | being told love is the answer. You feel a little chastised to be told |
C:12.12 | that creation’s paradise still exists, but nowhere can you find the | being God created in His image. |
C:13.6 | offer you the evidence you seek to confirm the truth of what you are | being told here. All that is required to gather this new evidence is |
C:13.10 | other thing you value. And there is not even the slightest chance of | being made to look foolish by what you are asked to do. |
C:14.2 | as the epitome of God’s creation, you see the rest of creation as | being meant to serve your ends. And since your end or goal is that of |
C:14.2 | your ends. And since your end or goal is that of separation and | being different from all the rest, this is the goal you ask creation |
C:14.3 | all this effort and conflict arises simply from your insistence upon | being separate. He who is your enemy you cannot help but be at war |
C:14.4 | Do you not see how your notion of heaven | being an attainment you can reach only after death fits your goal of |
C:14.21 | but confirmation of your separate state? What is loss of love but | being left alone? |
C:15.3 | both. The desire for specialness is what calls your little self into | being. This is the self that is easily wounded, the self that takes |
C:15.4 | 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 made of your |
C:15.5 | way and choose your own look, lifestyle, or attitude, you might risk | being seen as special within this group, and your choices might |
C:16.10 | of making good judgments and poor judgments, and you deem love as | being capable of neither. Love seems to operate on its own apart from |
C:16.17 | making of it something even darker than it started out as | being. It no longer seems like a choice that the child has made, but |
C:17.1 | Being who you are is no luxury reserved for the idle rich, or the | |

C:17.9 | Receiving implies that something is | being given. Receiving implies a willingness to accept what is given. |
C:17.13 | And yet all you need do is turn back. | Being an observer of your body has prepared you for this. Step back |
C:18.14 | to moment. What you desired you experienced fully with your whole | being, making it one with you. That you keep yourself from desiring |
C:18.21 | or union of the highest level, and of remembrance of who you are | being the means by which communion can return to you. So what we |
C:18.22 | While we spoke of what you think of as emotion | being reactions of the body to stimulus, we did not speak of this |
C:19.1 | where the whole range of experiences available to a separate | being would exist. |
C:19.14 | of non-duality itself. It would be impossible for you to be a | being that can yearn for knowledge of your Creator without this |
C:19.14 | that can yearn for knowledge of your Creator without this knowledge | being available. In creation, all needs are fulfilled the instant |
C:19.16 | often brought you close to a “thought-less” and “word-less” state of | being, and it can do so again. As you join with your own Self in |

C:19.18 | ask for unity to return for it to be so. The condition or state of | being from which you ask is what is in need of adjustment and thus of |
C:20.9 | lays it aside. Time has ended and there is nothing you must do. | Being replaces identity and you say, I am. I am, and there is nothing |
C:20.19 | 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 the world |
C:20.24 | self and the identity you have given your personal self is your | being. This is the face of Christ where all being resides. This is |
C:20.24 | personal self is your being. This is the face of Christ where all | being resides. This is your true identity. |
C:20.25 | Thankfulness is the nature of your | being. It could not be otherwise when awe and magnificence encompass |
C:20.26 | Peace is the foundation of your | being. Not a peace that implies an absence but a peace that implies a |
C:20.27 | Love is the source of your | being. You flow from love, an outpouring without end. You are thus |
C:20.45 | It will be helpful if you keep in mind that the idea of to serve is | being used to replace the idea of to use and is its opposite. It |
C:20.45 | you change your actions from those of resistance and use to those of | being willing to serve and be served, it will assist not only you and |
C:20.47 | of perception, and are things your mind has been trained to see as | being within its scope. It is as if you have cordoned off a little |
C:21.2 | meaning or the meaning of eternity. This is because, as a particular | being, you are time-bound. You can realize the eternal even in your |
C:21.2 | Particularity has to do with mass, substance, form. Your | being is far beyond your imagined reliance on the particular. The |
C:21.7 | situation, even if you do not label one way of viewing or perceiving | being of the mind and the other of the heart. And you accept this |
C:21.8 | In extreme instances this is considered moral conflict, an example | being the individual knowing the “right” thing to do but acting |
C:22.2 | relationship. While we have previously discussed relationship as not | being one thing or the other but a third something, we have not as |
C:22.18 | Obviously two kinds of meaning are | being talked about. The first we talked of earlier as the finding of |
C:23.8 | to others. This comes of seeing oneself as an image rather than as a | being existing in relationship. This comes from ego rather than from |
C:23.17 | to believe that what is possible depends upon what you can imagine | being possible. You must cease to see the difficulty and begin to see |
C:23.23 | you begin the process of unlearning you may feel tested. You are not | being tested but given opportunities for unlearning. To learn that a |
C:23.26 | taking control, however, is the key to unlearning. What you term as | being in control is simply another way of saying acting on old |
C:24.4 | a commitment. It requires participation, involvement, attention, | being present. These are the lessons with which we will conclude. |
C:25.2 | in this instance is an action word, a verb, a means of serving and | being served by love. Devotion is a particular type of participation. |
C:25.10 | just as to perform a concert, is contingent on harmony. It is | being in agreement about the purpose for which you are here and your |
C:25.13 | as you are healed you will realize you are no longer vulnerable to | being wounded. Fear of being wounded—physically, mentally, |
C:25.13 | will realize you are no longer vulnerable to being wounded. Fear of | being wounded—physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually— |
C:25.13 | emotionally, and spiritually—has kept you from engaging with life. | Being healed and recognizing your own state of being healed is a key |
C:25.13 | engaging with life. Being healed and recognizing your own state of | being healed is a key purpose of the time of tenderness. You cannot |
C:25.22 | Practice discernment by | being still and awaiting wisdom. Your feeling of being identity-less |
C:25.22 | discernment by being still and awaiting wisdom. Your feeling of | being identity-less will make decision-making and choices of all |
C:25.25 | Being fully engaged with life while taking the time for discernment | |
C:26.18 | come. This is because you are ready for the next step, the step of | being engaged with life. The step of living from love. And I assure |
C:26.25 | believe you created, and what you feel deprived of creating. As a | being birthed by a thought of God, you grew simultaneously with God’s |
C:26.26 | Being whole is being present. Being whole is being all you are. Being | |

C:27.1 | We return now to what your | being is. Being is. As love is. You have attached being to being |
C:27.1 | We return now to what your being is. | Being is. As love is. You have attached being to being human. In your |
C:27.1 | now to what your being is. Being is. As love is. You have attached | being to being human. In your quest to identify yourself, you simply |
C:27.1 | what your being is. Being is. As love is. You have attached being to | being human. In your quest to identify yourself, you simply narrowed |
C:27.2 | Your | being here is not futile or without purpose. Your being is itself all |
C:27.2 | Your being here is not futile or without purpose. Your | being is itself all purpose, all honor, all glory. There is no being |
C:27.2 | Your being is itself all purpose, all honor, all glory. There is no | being apart from being. There is no being alive and being dead, being |
C:27.2 | all purpose, all honor, all glory. There is no being apart from | being. There is no being alive and being dead, being human or being |
C:27.2 | honor, all glory. There is no being apart from being. There is no | being alive and being dead, being human or being divine. There is |
C:27.2 | There is no being apart from being. There is no being alive and | being dead, being human or being divine. There is only being. Being |
C:27.2 | no being apart from being. There is no being alive and being dead, | being human or being divine. There is only being. Being is. |

C:27.2 | and being dead, being human or being divine. There is only being. | Being is. |
C:27.3 | Yet | being, like love, is in relationship. Thus, your purpose here, rather |
C:27.3 | like love, is in relationship. Thus, your purpose here, rather than | being one of finding meaning, is one of coming to know through |
C:27.6 | “known” in an unknowable world. We have already stated that the only | being who is not beyond the limits of total knowing is the Self. Thus |
C:27.12 | and separate. Your heart understands relationship as its source of | being. You are not separate from your Source. |
C:27.16 | pray for specific outcomes or for God’s Will to be done. You fear | being a miracle worker because you do not think that you will ever |
C:28.7 | You would think of this as the time of work | being done. This it is, but without the drudgery of time spent. It is |
C:28.10 | of day as the sun slowly rises and as slowly sets. This is a time of | being both guided and restrained. A time of realizing that you can |
C:29.3 | to do have both welcomed and feared the idea of some kind of service | being required of you. There is no mystery to this, as the idea of |
C:29.3 | 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 the ego |
C:30.1 | How is | being present different than being? Are they not the same thing? |
C:30.1 | How is being present different than | being? Are they not the same thing? Should they not be? And yet how |
C:30.1 | are you fully present for your own life, your own Self, your own | being. If you were fully aware of your own being, you would be in |
C:30.1 | your own Self, your own being. If you were fully aware of your own | being, you would be in oneness with Your Father. |
C:30.2 | self-actualization. Where are they as they search? Where is their | being? If reaching a particular destination is all that is sought, |
C:30.2 | for the future, or for some eventual outcome, rather than for your | being. You attempt to learn for something other than your Self, for |
C:30.2 | other than your Self. Thus was service given another route for | being separated from the Self and your function here. When you learn |
C:30.4 | Being in relationship is being present. Being present has nothing to | |
C:30.4 | Being in relationship is | being present. Being present has nothing to do with time as you think |
C:30.4 | Being in relationship is being present. | Being present has nothing to do with time as you think of it. You |
C:30.6 | Universal consciousness is | being in relationship. It is the true Self, the known Self, in all |
C:30.7 | of fear, a fear that stemmed from the belief in finite life, in | being born into a body and dying to the body. The person who knows, |
C:30.8 | seen as the key that unlocks the door to universal consciousness, | being present. There is no being and no present in matter. In matter, |
C:30.8 | the door to universal consciousness, being present. There is no | being and no present in matter. In matter, being must be attached to |
C:30.8 | present. There is no being and no present in matter. In matter, | being must be attached to form. In the sense of time described by the |
C:30.9 | is a demonstration and a description of universal consciousness, of | being in relationship. |
C:31.1 | threatens your independence, something you consider a state of | being to be highly prized. This statement, however, more rightly |
C:31.3 | of 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 |
C:31.6 | This is the difficulty with studying the mind. The mind is your | being and so you can study it not, no more than you can ever see the |
C:31.7 | So too is it with mind. Mind is your | being. It is no accident that it has become synonymous to many of you |
C:31.9 | the 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 |
C:31.9 | of the whole that is your known universe has made you and no other | being less consequential. All over the world people of good faith |
C:31.14 | keep you lose. This is the principle of giving and receiving that, | being finally and totally understood, will free you to be |
C:31.17 | you must relearn who you are. You can only relearn who you are by | being who you are. You can only be who you are by sharing who you are. |
C:31.18 | The truth is your identity. Honesty is | being free of deception. You, who are already worrying about honesty |
C:31.18 | deception. You, who are already worrying about honesty and sharing | being about some need to confess, think a moment about why you are |
C:31.18 | is an idea of sharing. Rather than thinking of who you are | being all tied up with sin and a need for forgiveness, think of this |
C:31.19 | yourself. If you remembered your Self, notions such as confession | being good for the soul would be no more. But in order to remember |
C:31.25 | as an opposite to telling an untruth or lie. Thus were born ideas of | being able to keep truth a secret, one of the most ridiculous ideas |
C:31.27 | is not a thing, but a devotion to the one truth, the whole truth. | Being of one mind is being of one truth, and how can you be of |
C:31.27 | a devotion to the one truth, the whole truth. Being of one mind is | being of one truth, and how can you be of anything less? Only the ego |
C:31.33 | can this work? This is but another aspect of giving and receiving | being one in truth. Giving and receiving are both taking place, both |
T1:1.1 | by the desire for peace and the ways in which peace is seen as | being approachable. Peace is seen as being outside of one’s being and |
T1:1.1 | ways in which peace is seen as being approachable. Peace is seen as | being outside of one’s being and the means are sought for the union |
T1:1.1 | seen as being approachable. Peace is seen as being outside of one’s | being and the means are sought for the union of being with that which |
T1:1.1 | outside of one’s being and the means are sought for the union of | being with that which will provide for peace. Knowing not what this |
T1:1.2 | and heart, or wholeheartedness, your realization of this state of | being requires further guidance. Thus this Treatise will attempt to |
T1:1.4 | the present-moment experience that you will receive the blessing of | being able to respond differently to love. |
T1:1.7 | to continue. The mechanics of the mind were what were in need of | being overcome in order for you to listen once again to the wisdom of |
T1:1.8 | You are a thinking | being. This cannot be denied nor should it be. Thus a Course that |
T1:2.5 | Thoughts that were guarded by the ego-mind were in need of | being set free. Appealing to your heart was the means or cause of |
T1:2.5 | free. Appealing to your heart was the means or cause of this freedom | being accomplished in you. What was spoken of within A Course of Love |
T1:2.8 | valiant and are no cause for anxiety. But now this alternative is | being revealed to you, and it does call for a change of thought so |
T1:2.11 | can be summarized by the simple statement of giving and receiving | being one in truth. The implications of this statement are far |
T1:2.17 | it is. It 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, |
T1:2.17 | It binds you to all those who have and will experience the sunset by | being a shared experience. It is there not for you alone, but in |
T1:2.17 | it becomes a gift for you that is in no way diminished by it | being a gift for all. |
T1:2.19 | to acknowledge what is, both as a fact of your existence as a human | being and as a gift of the Creator. Second, to acknowledge the |
T1:2.19 | experience, the call for a response, and the nature of all gifts as | being given to all. |
T1:2.21 | is and to acknowledge what is, one must be present, present as human | being. To experience what is and to acknowledge what is as being a |
T1:2.21 | as human being. To experience what is and to acknowledge what is as | being a gift of God is to be present as a divine being having a human |
T1:2.21 | what is as being a gift of God is to be present as a divine | being having a human experience. No part of being is negated. All |
T1:2.21 | be present as a divine being having a human experience. No part of | being is negated. All senses and feelings of the human being are |
T1:2.21 | No part of being is negated. All senses and feelings of the human | being are called into awareness and yet there is also acknowledgment |
T1:3.9 | miracle. 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, |
T1:3.11 | your own loss. 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 |
T1:3.18 | Secondly you would object to | being asked to choose a miracle. Surely you cannot know the |
T1:3.20 | grant miracles on such a whim, such a fanciful idea as that of your | being convinced of your own power. How could this possibly be |
T1:3.25 | to try. In short, you are not willing and have many reasons for not | being willing. What we have done here is bring your fears to light, |
T1:4.4 | acknowledging what is both as a fact of your existence as a human | being and as a gift of the Creator. Now that we have more properly |
T1:4.4 | of A Course of Love. It does not negate your existence as a human | being nor does it deny your existence as being a gift of the Creator. |
T1:4.4 | your existence as a human being nor does it deny your existence as | being a gift of the Creator. Recall the sunset. Are you any less the |
T1:4.4 | This is a call to be as aware of your Self as you are capable of | being aware of the sunset. |
T1:4.6 | the call for a response, and the nature of all gifts as | being given to all. This is thus a call to realize that you exist in |
T1:4.8 | self. This subjugation to the ego-mind is what led to the ego-mind | being able to develop the “laws of man.” These laws of man are the |
T1:4.18 | The art of thought is | being taught here in order to prevent just such a conclusion. The |
T1:4.21 | place and your inability to respond need not be repeated. You are | being revisited with these lessons expressly for the purpose of not |
T1:4.21 | repeating your former reaction or interpretation of them. You are | being revisited with these lessons so that you may apply to them the |
T1:4.27 | is the providence of God and not due miracles or any other thing or | being. I bring up this point to assure you that this confusion is |
T1:4.27 | ingrained in you that it has become an aspect of yourself as human | being. From time immemorial, fear has been associated with God. This |
T1:5.4 | that both welcomes and fears visions and abilities you see as | being currently beyond your capabilities. |
T1:5.10 | you know it as the cause. This is what is meant by mind and heart | being joined in union, or being wholehearted. It is the real you or |
T1:5.10 | This is what is meant by mind and heart being joined in union, or | being wholehearted. It is the real you or center of your Self, being |
T1:5.10 | or being wholehearted. It is the real you or center of your Self, | being joined with the only thought system that is real, the thought |
T1:5.13 | art of thought invites the experience of the new thought system by | being willing to replace the old with the new. While this will at |
T1:6.3 | negate the fact that a prayer is also a constant dialogue of asking, | being answered, and responding. This is the aspect of prayer that |
T1:6.4 | they are. Do not forget what union is. Union is the mind and heart | being joined in wholeheartedness. It is your union with your Self. |
T1:6.4 | as it is, like much you have learned, close to the truth without | being the truth. |
T1:6.9 | This is miracle-mindedness. The accomplishment of this state of | being is the reason for which you are here. It is your return to your |
T1:7.1 | You have perceived this inability to be who you are in terms of not | being able to do as you would desire to do, live as you would desire |
T1:7.1 | suffering is as the perceived inability to be who you truly are, a | being existing in union. Take away all, for the moment, that you |
T1:7.1 | for the moment, that you would strive to be, and the feeling of not | being able to be accomplished or complete will still be with you. |
T1:7.2 | 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 within |
T1:7.6 | This is why we must speak now of | being human in a new way. We must reconcile the differences between |
T1:8.16 | your natural state. It is one more demonstration of cause and effect | being one in truth. It is one more demonstration of what needs to |
T1:9.4 | manifestations, but reflects inner change. The growth of a new | being within the womb of another is a visible manifestation of |
T1:9.14 | have taken on different forms. You may for instance, have reacted by | being hurt or angry. Your response may then have been either an |
T1:9.16 | What “was” is | being thrown out and the first step in this is embracing what you |
T1:10.7 | Are you | being asked to give up extremes? Yes. You are being asked to give up |
T1:10.7 | Are you being asked to give up extremes? Yes. You are | being asked to give up all that would take peace from you. But as you |
T1:10.12 | behind are extremes of reaction to a chosen lesson. What you are | being asked to leave behind is the need for such lessons. If you have |
T2:1.3 | and foremost, something that you believe exists and have defined as | being of value. As this Treatise is not concerned with material |
T2:1.3 | that cause one to think that any physical thing is capable of | being a treasure or being treasured are of the ego. We will instead |
T2:1.3 | to think that any physical thing is capable of being a treasure or | being treasured are of the ego. We will instead assume that you have |
T2:1.4 | a sense of relief in having learned that who you are right now is a | being of perfection, and you may find in this a somewhat peaceful |
T2:1.5 | soon return to your old ideas of heaven and see peace as a state of | being for those too weary to fully live. Done with the adventures of |
T2:1.6 | you arrive, never to depart. Rest, when truly learned, is a state of | being in which struggle has ceased and peace has triumphed over |
T2:2.3 | the sun is in their blood, in the very nature of who they are. That | being one with the land is essential to them. |
T2:2.9 | You think that what prevents you from | being who you are is far broader than this simple idea of hearing and |
T2:2.9 | following a calling would indicate. You think what prevents you from | being who you are is far broader than a division between mind and |
T2:3.2 | outwardly what exists within. What I refer to so often here as | being within, as if “within” is a place in which something resides, |
T2:3.2 | 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 one mind. It |
T2:3.2 | to the human world. As I have said, in the realm of unity where your | being resides, this is already accomplished. Your link between the |
T2:3.3 | the means for union between where you think you are and where your | being actually resides. Remember always that your heart is where the |
T2:4.13 | Being who you are is what you are called to do. You are here asked to | |
T2:5.1 | this Course calls you to, we must also talk of another aspect of | being called. While we have concluded that when you listen to your |
T2:5.2 | Again let me stress the present-moment nature of | being called. A call is, at its most basic level, a means of |
T2:6.5 | What does this mean in regards to time? You might think of | being accomplished as all of your work being done. If there is no |
T2:6.5 | to time? You might think of being accomplished as all of your work | being done. If there is no work to be done, nothing for you to do, |
T2:6.5 | that this trick of your mind has worked, you act as if you are | being kept from accomplishment by time, and this “seems” quite real |
T2:6.6 | what is. Thus the limits you would place on the concept of something | being what it is, must be part of this discussion. |
T2:7.5 | would view as others are separate from you. Those you would view as | being in relationship with you are not separate from you. The |
T2:7.11 | world and remain who you are. This relates to giving and receiving | being one in truth in a very concrete way. For to go out into the |
T2:7.13 | and to do good. This is not about doing good works. This is about | being who you are and seeing the truth rather than the illusion that |
T2:7.14 | then, includes accepting that you have needs. That you are a | being who exists in relationship is the same as saying you are a |
T2:7.14 | a being who exists in relationship is the same as saying you are a | being who needs relationship. The only thing that keeps you, in this |
T2:7.14 | The only thing that keeps you, in this new pattern, from | being needy and dependent in an unhealthy way, is that you believe in |
T2:7.14 | be provided for, thus ceasing to be needs. To deny that you are a | being with needs is not the aim of this Course. To come to believe |
T2:7.14 | that includes all “others” is to believe in giving and receiving | being one in truth. |
T2:7.16 | Trusting is not a condition or state of | being that you have heretofore seen as being an active one. Your |
T2:7.16 | not a condition or state of being that you have heretofore seen as | being an active one. Your attitude toward trust is one of waiting, as |
T2:7.16 | acts from who you truly are. Real trust requires the discipline of | being who you are in every circumstance and in every relationship. |
T2:7.21 | into practice, and while your recognition of receiving and of needs | being met may seem to still take time, this belief builds on the |
T2:7.21 | through experience. As you experience giving and receiving | being one in truth, your belief will become true conviction. Your |
T2:8.2 | learning ground on which you now stand. All that prevents you from | being who you are within these relationships must be let go. All that |
T2:8.3 | While your dedication to the goal of | being who you are may at first seem selfish, it will soon be revealed |
T2:8.6 | acceptance of the unchangeable nature of this truth. This is akin to | being done with seeking. This is the final acceptance that you have |
T2:9.4 | meeting of needs. When your life is running smoothly and needs are | being continuously met, you begin to want to hang on to the |
T2:9.4 | needs because of their ability to meet them. When your needs cease | being met, you believe there has been a loss such as with the loss of |
T2:9.7 | of correspondence. They are shared because they are known. Every | being inherently knows that it shares the same needs as every other |
T2:9.7 | being inherently knows that it shares the same needs as every other | being of its kind. Every being also inherently knows that needs and |
T2:9.7 | it shares the same needs as every other being of its kind. Every | being also inherently knows that needs and the fulfillment of needs |
T2:9.7 | as feeling that one has a need. Needs are the domain of the thinking | being only. Thinking beings share needs because of the way in which |
T2:9.8 | What is shared by all is not owned. What all have is in no danger of | being taken away. All that you are capable of having you already have |
T2:9.13 | of disconnecting this drive that has become instinctual to you. As a | being existing in form, you have honed certain instincts over |
T2:9.16 | An understanding of the mutuality of needs will aid you in | being honest about your needs, thus allowing them to be met. Then the |
T2:10.7 | While you are | being told that you can no longer believe that what you know is |
T2:10.7 | believe that what you know is related to experience, you are not | being told that you have exactly the same knowledge as does every |
T2:10.18 | think of life as your learning ground. You still think of lessons as | being about specific subject matter. When life does not go as you |
T2:11.1 | As you were told within the pages of A Course of Love, you are a | being who exists in relationship. This is how you were created and |
T2:11.1 | our aim is to show you how to integrate the belief that you are a | being who exists in relationship into the living of your life. |
T2:11.7 | belief in unity that is inherent in the acceptance that you are a | being who exists in relationship. Separation is all that opposes |
T2:11.8 | must complement your new beliefs, the ultimate goal of this learning | being the end of the need for beliefs at all. |
T2:11.9 | It is the holiest of work and the final evidence of means and end | being the same. Your devotion to this learning must now be complete, |
T2:11.11 | can it be that we speak both of the Christ in you and of Christ as | being relationship itself? How can it be that we have spoken of |
T2:11.11 | relationship itself? How can it be that we have spoken of Christ | being both wholly human and wholly divine? These statements can only |
T2:11.13 | than as a state that does not exist. If you exist as a separate | being but your being is contingent upon relationship for its |
T2:11.13 | state that does not exist. If you exist as a separate being but your | being is contingent upon relationship for its existence, is this not |
T2:11.13 | its existence, is this not the same thing as saying that you are a | being who exists in relationship? Is this not similar to saying that |
T2:11.13 | under which you are here and able to experience life as a separate | being. That condition is relationship and relationship is what keeps |
T2:11.14 | Here that relationship is | being called Christ in order to keep the holiness and importance of |
T2:12.4 | to truth. They are the ultimate acceptance of giving and receiving | being one in truth. |
T2:12.6 | As with the learning goal | being set here of going beyond belief to simply knowing, the learning |
T2:12.8 | to the treasure within, how can it be that you, as a miracle-minded | being, are not called upon to also call forth the treasure that |
T2:12.9 | to happen. As we spoke within A Course of Love of relationship | being not one thing or another but a third something, this is what we |
T2:12.11 | as the ego would tell you that you are, it still would thwart you | being who you are through its denial of the relationships essential |
T2:13.4 | corrector of false thinking because I lived among you as a thinking | being. Think not that I was different than you and you will realize |
T2:13.4 | was different than you and you will realize that we are truly one in | being with our Father. As you move into the world with the end of the |
T3:1.11 | as that which an actor might portray. You saw nothing more amiss in | being a professional self in one instance and a social self in |
T3:2.1 | terms of original purpose and the original purpose of representation | being to share the Self in a new way. Expressions you call art are |
T3:2.7 | And yet the truth has as many ways of | being represented as does illusion. |
T3:2.8 | of the self of illusion have been called the self without this | being so. In each, however, is the self you believe is real revealed. |
T3:2.11 | within certain parameters, for it has not allowed you to imagine | being able to take steps “back” to the God you believe you left in |
T3:2.11 | would cause you much suffering and strife, for the sole reason of | being separate from that to which you long to return? The only |
T3:2.12 | desire was for you to “grow up” into its version of an independent | being—no matter what the cost. |
T3:3.3 | despite your best intentions calling disappointment to yourself and | being constantly under the pall of having disappointed others. Still |
T3:3.3 | in between, living a life full of good intentions and effort and | being surprised neither by what seems to work nor what seems to fail. |
T3:3.8 | way to the new life that calls to you. You can only get there by | being who you are in truth. |
T3:3.9 | are not good enough or that you do not want to put the effort into | being good enough. Like a person who believes she has a weight |
T3:4.6 | dismantle the structure and begin again with a foundation capable of | being built upon. This is what we have done. We have taken away the |
T3:4.6 | Does it not make sense that the only error possible is that of not | being who you are? |
T3:6.3 | Reward is intricately tied to your notions of | being good, performing deeds of merit, and taking care of, or |
T3:6.4 | This blame is as old as time itself and the cause of bitterness | being able to exist, even within your hearts. |
T3:6.5 | have always been convinced existed in the hearts of some, but even | being that it is just another word, it is one chosen to introduce an |
T3:8.1 | explosions that have rocked your faulty foundation. To work toward | being a representation of such great power is still a worthy goal and |
T3:10.7 | house of illusion and the present is lived in the House of Truth? | Being cognizant of this is the only way that the simultaneous |
T3:10.9 | The first step in | being able to forget such thoughts is in recognizing them as separate |
T3:10.11 | in the past and that all that is from the past is what you are | being called to forget. Thus when uncertainty arises, you need but |
T3:11.2 | House of Truth also feel an awareness of Self. Without necessarily | being able to put it into words, they no longer feel the statement of |
T3:11.14 | I remind you here that you are not | being asked to see anything that is not the truth. This is why the |
T3:12.7 | awaits you, you will grow fearful if you do not realize that what is | being proposed to you here is something completely new, something you |
T3:12.9 | a state inconsistent with that of the laws of God, it made of God a | being to be feared, thus continuing, and being unable to find release |
T3:12.9 | of God, it made of God a being to be feared, thus continuing, and | being unable to find release from, the cycle of fear. |
T3:13.6 | that it has cost you. To replace this idea with the idea of there | being no loss but only gain under the laws of love, is to resist the |
T3:13.9 | You believe, but you cannot imagine the truth of these words really | being represented in the life you live here. This you must now do. |
T3:13.14 | of them here, are thoughts or images originating from the Self and | being represented by the personal self. It is only in this way that |
T3:14.11 | in your world. This is the only act you can choose worthy of | being called selfishness. Be self “less” rather than selfish now and |
T3:15.3 | the past that is most often what prevents new beginnings from truly | being new. |
T3:15.4 | change. You cannot imagine those with whom you are in relationship | being other than who they are. This is consistent with the truth. Yet |
T3:15.5 | who failed to learn the prior year, while eager and confident in | being able to succeed in the current year, will continue to be |
T3:15.16 | change the very nature of the self described by the words human | being. This calls for still more forgetting as you must consciously |
T3:15.16 | limitations inherent in your concept of what it means to be a human | being. |
T3:15.17 | than who you are, who you are is not limited to the concept of human | being nor to the laws of man. If you continue to act as if you are |
T3:15.17 | the laws of man. If you continue to act as if you are still the same | being that you have represented yourself to be in the past, you will |
T3:16.8 | that you are not only accomplished, but The Accomplished, it is | being said that you are already what you have sought to be. Thus, in |
T3:16.10 | By saying that giving and receiving are one in truth it is | being said that you are lacking only in what you do not give. The |
T3:16.10 | have gone unfulfilled. While you may think that this means you are | being asked to do without, this is not the case. You are simply being |
T3:16.10 | are being asked to do without, this is not the case. You are simply | being asked to give that you might receive and to receive that you |
T3:16.12 | that there is no loss but only gain within the laws of love, you are | being told to have no fear. Fear of loss is a great temptation of the |
T3:16.14 | special relationships have been replaced by holy relationship it is | being said that your only relationship is with the truth and that you |
T3:17.2 | self “fell” from unity through this judgment of what it observed as | being other than itself, through this beginning of making |
T3:18.3 | making of a separate self. Observance is linked to cause and effect | being one. What is observed is in relationship with the observer and |
T3:19.14 | how many saints and miracles you have heard of in the past without | being moved to believe that they mean anything at all about the |
T3:19.14 | you are. This is why no more time can be wasted and why so many are | being called in the strongest manner it is possible to call them. It |
T3:20.6 | is a judgment, for some illnesses and suffering are surely seen as | being worse than others—encouragement is given despite the “fact” |
T3:20.6 | a repetition of the present or as a long war with little chance of | being won. You chide yourself not to deny the facts, and you begin, |
T3:20.9 | with compassion or even verbalize your new beliefs, you are | being told directly here that no circumstance should call you to |
T3:20.10 | them as do “bad.” I am not calling you to just another version of | being good or mentally healthy, to exercises in visualization or |
T3:21.6 | a personal self because it is attached to a person. A person is a | being born into time, a being whose existence began in time and will |
T3:21.6 | it is attached to a person. A person is a being born into time, a | being whose existence began in time and will end in time. |
T3:21.11 | you could not exist without an identity. You might think of this as | being certain of facts and information, for these are the things |
T3:21.16 | these things have contributed to your idea that you are a separate | being and as such incapable of truly understanding or knowing your |
T3:21.17 | Now however, you are | being called to accept your true identity even while you retain the |
T3:21.21 | east from west. This is why this call to return to your Self is | being sounded far and wide and why it goes out to humble and ordinary |
T3:21.23 | It is not | being said that anyone should, or will, remain blind to the unity |
T3:21.23 | seeming differences such as those of race and religion. It is simply | being said that they do not matter. It will not matter if a person |
T3:22.6 | state, nor one familiar to most of you. While you cannot “work” at | being receptive, and while I also do not ask you to “work” to break |
T3:22.7 | speaking of it and teaching it, makes you one with what you observe. | Being one with what you observe causes you to know the proper |
T3:22.9 | and your attention has begun to wander from this topic even as it is | being concluded. |
T4:1.3 | so, it may seem to you as if some will be left out and as if you are | being told that you can achieve what many others have tried and |
T4:1.3 | and particularly in your own chosenness. It is this idea of | being chosen that will cause your mind to conclude that some are not |
T4:1.6 | chosen used, when many other words would do, and when the concept of | being chosen is one laden with so many false ideas about exclusivity? |
T4:1.8 | As is clearly | being seen amid many school systems in the current time, the choice |
T4:1.10 | because they have chosen another means of learning. Means is what is | being spoken of here. But all means are for one end. All will learn |
T4:1.11 | choice to come to know your Self and God now. This is the same as | being asked if you are willing to be the chosen of God. This is the |
T4:2.8 | you are carrying judgment. While you continue to believe that | being chosen means that some are not chosen, you are carrying |
T4:2.11 | Being first does not mean being better. That I was the first to | |
T4:2.11 | Being first does not mean | being better. That I was the first to demonstrate what you can be |
T4:2.11 | as someone had to be “first” to fly a plane or land on the moon, | being first implies only that there will be a second and a third. |
T4:2.25 | relationship to grow in you, you will learn the lessons that are | being spoken of within this Treatise. |
T4:3.1 | observable. The embrace is not an action so much as a state of | being. Awareness of the embrace comes from the vision of which I have |
T4:3.3 | The personal self is still in need of | being elevated—elevated to its original nature—by its original |
T4:3.4 | or cause formed the true nature of the personal self capable of | being observed in relationship. The displacement of the original |
T4:3.6 | For every | being there is a natural state of being that is joyful, effortless, |
T4:3.6 | For every being there is a natural state of | being that is joyful, effortless, and full of love. For every being |
T4:3.6 | of being that is joyful, effortless, and full of love. For every | being existing in time there is also an unnatural state of being. |
T4:3.6 | For every being existing in time there is also an unnatural state of | being. Both states of being—the natural and the unnatural—exist |
T4:3.6 | in time there is also an unnatural state of being. Both states of | being—the natural and the unnatural—exist in relationship. While |
T4:3.6 | kept you seemingly forever unable to return to your natural state of | being. The fear that was birthed along with the erroneously inherited |
T4:3.12 | of the created. There is no reason why the original nature of your | being cannot become a being the nature of which is form if you so |
T4:3.12 | is no reason why the original nature of your being cannot become a | being the nature of which is form if you so choose it to be. There is |
T4:3.12 | choose it to be. There is a reason why the original nature of your | being cannot exist in a form unnatural to love. A form whose nature |
T4:3.13 | since the beginning of time to be done with the separated state of a | being of form, and at the same time to hang on to life; not realizing |
T4:4.13 | Being fully aware that you have life everlasting is totally different | |
T4:4.18 | thus create the union of the human and the divine as a new state of | being. This union will take you beyond the goal of expressing your |
T4:4.18 | you create the union of the human and the divine as a new state of | being, this choice will be eternally yours. It will be a choice of |
T4:5.1 | So are all who came before me and all who came after me. All that | being a Son of God means is that you represent the continuity of |
T4:5.2 | This could as easily be stated as your | being a Song of God. You are God’s harmony, God’s expression, God’s |
T4:5.2 | and chorus of creation. You might think of your time here as that of | being apprentice musicians. You must learn or relearn what you have |
T4:5.3 | also what we have been referring to as heart, as the center of your | being. What would the center of your being be but the Source of your |
T4:5.3 | as heart, as the center of your being. What would the center of your | being be but the Source of your being? |
T4:5.3 | being. What would the center of your being be but the Source of your | being? |
T4:5.7 | Just as your finger is but one part of your body, without | being separate from your body, or other than your body, you are part |
T4:5.11 | glory of your true nature. You are given the chance, just as you are | being given the chance now, to choose your true nature with your free |
T4:5.13 | the consciousness returned to those loosed of the body by death. | Being loosed of the body by death was the chosen means of the time of |
T4:6.1 | and currently. What you envision, imagine, desire, hold as | being possible, is possible, because you make it so. It is your |
T4:6.7 | in love, without changing the world and the nature of the human | being any more than have those who have come before. The changes |
T4:7.7 | learning and thus ends the conditions of learning. In other words, | being in harmony with poor health and learning the lesson that it has |
T4:8.2 | only now reaching a stage wherein you can know, within your inner | being, that this is the truth. I say this because it is only now that |
T4:8.3 | the center of the universe, as your own heart is the center of your | being. The mind of God is the source of all ideas, just as “your” |
T4:8.6 | Each expression of God’s love, | being of God, continued to express love through expression of its |
T4:8.7 | but you cannot imagine what a creative undertaking the human | being was! If you can imagine for a moment yourself as a being whose |
T4:8.7 | the human being was! If you can imagine for a moment yourself as a | being whose every thought became manifest, as perhaps you can |
T4:8.8 | What God could not disconnect from was the true nature of the | being of God, which is love. What God could not disconnect from was |
T4:8.8 | was disconnect from God. Since God was the center of your | being, it was impossible to disconnect your heart and still live. |
T4:8.9 | mind chose to rebel against: that creation is perfect. Your mind, | being of God, was constrained by the learning limits of the body and |
T4:8.9 | that was needed in order to come into the time of fullness of a | being able to express itself in form, never realizing that this just |
T4:8.13 | if it were 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 | anything other than the purpose of expansion and enrichment of your | being. If it is only in sharing who you are through expression of who |
T4:8.14 | you are, then this is true of God as well. God could not be the only | being in all of creation who remains static and unchanging! How could |
T4:8.16 | You think of a state of knowing as a state of there | being nothing you do not know about something. This is why you study |
T4:8.16 | there is to know about this one thing. This was the ego’s answer to | being a learning being—choosing something to learn that it could |
T4:8.16 | about this one thing. This was the ego’s answer to being a learning | being—choosing something to learn that it could master. Yet all |
T4:9.4 | time to move out of the time of becoming who you are to the time of | being who you are. |
T4:10.1 | becoming a true student, and to now leading you beyond the time of | being a student to the realization of your accomplishment. You were |
T4:10.1 | to the realization of your accomplishment. You were once comfortable | being your own teacher. You willingly gave up this role and became |
T4:10.10 | ability to recognize or identify your Self as other than a separate | being, and led the way to your recognition of the state of union. |
T4:10.11 | who you are and how to express who you are. No longer learning, or | being accomplished, is synonymous with knowing who you are and the |
T4:10.12 | of gladness. Expression of the Self of love is the natural state of | being of those who have moved beyond learning to creating through |
T4:12.6 | Surprises cannot be figured out! They are meant to be joyous gifts | being constantly revealed. Gifts that need only be received and |
T4:12.10 | you will be prone to continue to think of yourself as a learning | being. While these dialogues continue to address these same questions |
T4:12.21 | relationship and thus creating unity and relationship are only now | being created by the one mind and heart that you share in unity with |
T4:12.23 | In other words, you, as a | being of singular consciousness, could learn the thought patterns of |
T4:12.23 | was a finite consciousness, a consciousness with limits. You, as a | being joined in Christ-consciousness, must share this consciousness |
T4:12.26 | Realize this without fear, for I am with you. This is akin to | being stranded in a foreign land with none of the ways you learned |
T4:12.26 | 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 the |
T4:12.33 | This time is before us. Because you are a | being still existing in form, you still exist in the realm of time |
D:1.8 | to move about within the world, a faceless and nameless entity, a | being without an identity, humble and selfless and ineffective. For |
D:1.10 | occurs through the acceptance of your true identity, not through | being identity-less. The reign of the ego began during just such a |
D:1.11 | this opening and this replacement occurring with every fiber of your | being. Imagine the separate self being enfolded, embraced, and |
D:1.11 | occurring with every fiber of your being. Imagine the separate self | being enfolded, embraced, and finally consumed—taken into the Self |
D:1.26 | true identity cannot be taught but is the condition necessary for | being who you are and the realization that learning is no longer |
D:2.1 | behind your effort to “learn” this Course, began the work that is | being continued here, the work of replacing the old patterns of |
D:2.15 | had to do with learning because you were, as a separated self, a | being whose only function was learning. The function of all learning |
D:3.4 | accept and deny. As the old must be denied for the new to come into | being, the old must be vanquished in order for the truth to triumph |
D:3.8 | of in a new way. These are ideas that address your true nature as a | being existing in union, and this is why we call them ideas to carry |
D:3.15 | words on this page are but a representation of what is continuously | being shared. So too is it with you. You, as the elevated Self of |
D:3.15 | Self of form, are a continual representation of what is continuously | being given and received, what is continuously being shared. You are |
D:3.15 | what is continuously being given and received, what is continuously | being shared. You are a representation, for instance, of this |
D:3.17 | and yourself as student. While you think of yourself as a learning | being you will still be looking to something or someone “other” than |
D:3.20 | this be said of any of the systems you have developed as a learning | being? Are your systems life-giving and life-supporting? The patterns |
D:3.21 | step revealed and that many of you will feel already as if you are | being asked to learn again and not only that, but as if I have |
D:3.21 | Thus you are already aware of the truth of giving and receiving | being one. This awareness exists within you and you cannot any longer |
D:4.2 | the time of learning, differences that made you feel as if each | being stood separate and alone, you are now called to see no more. In |
D:4.5 | For the moment, disregard any idea you may have of there | being those who deserve the prison system you have developed and any |
D:4.11 | have either seen and learned enough during your time as a learning | being that you accept that a divine design created the universe and |
D:4.13 | exist in a complementary fashion. Both of these divine patterns are | being newly recreated and we will talk much more of them and of the |
D:4.14 | and live according to the system of thought of giving and receiving | being one. Systems of thought are thus the foundation upon which how |
D:4.15 | of the divine pattern. Contrast is one such system. As a learning | being, you accepted that you learned through contrast, knowing that |
D:4.16 | loop. Obviously these systems, built as they were upon patterns now | being recreated, are part of the old. |
D:4.26 | your release is possible, to desire it without fear, to call it into | being. |
D:5.5 | one aspect of what was created in the pattern of learning, while not | being seen in the way it was intended, still represents what is and |
D:5.6 | —to point the way—to your true desire for your true identity as a | being joined in oneness. This seeking of completion through oneness, |
D:5.11 | means that form will never be all that you are, but will return to | being as it was intended and will represent the truth of who you are. |
D:5.11 | will represent the truth of who you are. This true representation, | being of the truth, returns you to the reality of the truth where you |
D:5.13 | to help you do so. This would assume that you are still a learning | being and have need of such help. You are no longer a learning being |
D:5.13 | being and have need of such help. You are no longer a learning | being and need not this assistance. |
D:5.19 | This is what we discuss today. We discuss | being what you represent in truth. We discuss the elevation of form. |
D:5.21 | in form, while still in a form that seems inconsistent with your | being, while still in a form that exists within a form, within a |
D:5.21 | within a form, within a world that seems inconsistent with your | being. You will wonder how, if you are done learning, the patterns of |
D:5.21 | this new time of no time. You will wonder how to live in time as a | being no longer bound by time. And I tell you truly, that once |
D:6.21 | will see that belief in fate is just as systematic and in need of | being left behind as is belief that illness can be blamed on certain |
D:6.21 | then that” thought system we are leaving behind. As a non-learning | being you are now called to accept that you no longer need this type |
D:6.25 | The body was, in the time of learning, representative of a learning | being. The ego, however, narrowed your ideas of what the body was |
D:6.25 | rather than to live. You increased the life span of the human | being, but you increased not its capacity for true living or true |
D:6.27 | in its experiences and feelings. The elevated Self of form, however, | being a form that still exists in time, must realize the |
D:6.28 | time is a measurement of learning. If you are no longer a learning | being, for what is time needed? Time is needed now only for the |
D:6.28 | needed now only for the transformation of the self from a learning | being to a being that can accept the shared consciousness of unity |
D:6.28 | only for the transformation of the self from a learning being to a | being that can accept the shared consciousness of unity and begin to |
D:7.1 | Just as when you were a | being existing in the shared consciousness of unity you couldn’t know |
D:7.2 | language was used because you were still, at that time, a learning | being. Now we will adjust our language somewhat to represent the new |
D:7.3 | into night. Resting and waking will be part of the same continuum of | being. |
D:7.5 | you outside of time. In this state, no duality exists. Doing and | being are one. |
D:7.6 | self in form. “Right” action comes from the unity in which doing and | being are one, or in other words from the state in which there is no |
D:7.6 | and what you do. “Right” action comes from the state of wholeness. | Being whole is being all you are. Being all you are is what the |
D:7.6 | do. “Right” action comes from the state of wholeness. Being whole is | being all you are. Being all you are is what the elevated Self of |
D:7.6 | comes from the state of wholeness. Being whole is being all you are. | Being all you are is what the elevated Self of form represents. |
D:7.7 | history. Now you are called to discover how to exist in form without | being defined by this time-bound particularity. |
D:7.12 | you to your Self. Discovery will allow the new you to come into | being by revealing what you do not yet know about how to live as the |
D:7.14 | Being in love is a definition of what you now are as you accept the | |
D:7.17 | the uniqueness of each Self, and is a demonstration of means and end | being the same. Desire keeps you focused on your own path and leaves |
D:7.18 | body, one Christ, you have accepted existence as a non-particular | being in a state outside of time—you have accepted existence as a |
D:7.20 | new ways. Those ways thus now include the form of your body without | being limited to creation of, and in, form. The body has thus joined |
D:7.23 | It is a provision of the time of learning that allows the learning | being to learn at his or her own pace and to pass this learning on in |
D:8.1 | your body as the dot within the circle, I ask you to imagine now | being able to take a step outside of the area of this dot, and into |
D:8.2 | to be true. You are too used to thinking of yourself as a learning | being to truly experience the freedom of not being bound by this |
D:8.2 | yourself as a learning being to truly experience the freedom of not | being bound by this constraint. In all of your life, you can think of |
D:8.2 | are prone to comparison, many of you have been discouraged by not | being able to be the “best” despite your natural talent or ability, |
D:8.6 | cannot be figured out! Surprises are meant to be joyous gifts | being constantly revealed. Gifts that need only be received and |
D:9.1 | The door that is | being opened to you here is the door of awareness of what is, a door |
D:9.5 | and truthful way of expressing what was true for you as a learning | being. |
D:9.7 | As we continue, you may feel as if contradictory things are | being said, such as being called to consider what imprisons you and |
D:9.7 | you may feel as if contradictory things are being said, such as | being called to consider what imprisons you and then being called to |
D:9.7 | said, such as being called to consider what imprisons you and then | being called to reconsider. The call is still the same, but the means |
D:9.8 | The aims we clearly embraced together when you were still a learning | being were meant to allow you to come to know your true identity. “A |
D:9.12 | learning and thinking merely resulted eventually in a new idea | being birthed, but this is not the case. Heredity can be cited as a |
D:11.6 | you are, and in that state, fully accept that your contribution is | being made, will desire still be with you? |
D:11.11 | this belief from becoming an ability and prevents it from going from | being an ability to simply being who you are, is your thoughts— |
D:11.11 | ability and prevents it from going from being an ability to simply | being who you are, is your thoughts—thoughts that need an |
D:12.9 | is seen as what you “do.” Even in your dictionary definition, | being “thoughtful” is seen as a condition of mindfulness, and |
D:12.17 | than ever before that what I have said about your way of thinking | being insane is true. You think it is perfectly sane to go through |
D:13.1 | in the beginning, in discounting what you know rather than in | being adamant in the proclamation of what you know. But this desire |
D:13.6 | that exists in relationship. Once you have attained a state of | being able to sustain Christ consciousness, this will no longer be a |
D:13.9 | as you were taught that you could not learn on your own, you are now | being told by one who knows that you also do not come to the knowing |
D:13.12 | union, is what negates the need for such intermediary functions. By | being who you are, and seeing others as who they truly are, you |
D:14.5 | what would happen if I disregarded the facts and was open to this | being something else?” These questions could be asked in situations |
D:14.8 | but for cooperation. Cooperation comes from the All of All | being in harmony and relationship. When this harmony and relationship |
D:14.8 | believe you have cause for stress and effort rather than for just | being open to what comes. |

D:14.16 | Being whole is being present. Being whole is being all you are. Being | |
D:14.16 | Being whole is | being present. Being whole is being all you are. Being whole is being |
D:14.16 | Being whole is being present. | Being whole is being all you are. Being whole is being present as all |
D:14.16 | Being whole is being present. Being whole is | being all you are. Being whole is being present as all you are. When |

D:14.16 | present as all you are. When this occurs you are All in All, One in | being with your Father. |
D:14.17 | This wholeness of | being is what lies beyond body and mind, form and time. Becoming the |
D:15.3 | Life and the movement of | being into form is what occurred when God “spoke” and the Word came |
D:15.3 | into form is what occurred when God “spoke” and the Word came into | being. Movement is energy, the life force of creation and of being, |
D:15.3 | into being. Movement is energy, the life force of creation and of | being, both in unity and in time. By being you are in movement. By |
D:15.3 | life force of creation and of being, both in unity and in time. By | being you are in movement. By being you are an expression of being. |
D:15.3 | being, both in unity and in time. By being you are in movement. By | being you are an expression of being. |
D:15.3 | By being you are in movement. By being you are an expression of | being. |
D:15.4 | The second principle of creation, then, is that | being is. It is what is and it is the expression of what is. |
D:15.6 | principles, but a single unifying principle of wholeness: Movement, | being, expression. One did not occur before the other, as they are |
D:15.6 | before the other, as they are not separate. There was movement into | being and an expression of being. But what was there to move before |
D:15.6 | are not separate. There was movement into being and an expression of | being. But what was there to move before there was being? This is the |
D:15.6 | an expression of being. But what was there to move before there was | being? This is the way the mind looks at principles, one coming after |
D:15.8 | Then God, a | being, spoke. Here we have both the introduction of a being and the |
D:15.8 | Then God, a being, spoke. Here we have both the introduction of a | being and the continuation of movement. Speaking denotes not only a |
D:15.8 | continuation of movement. Speaking denotes not only a speaker, the | being, but the movement of sound. Then we are told the content of the |
D:15.8 | was said, “Let there be light.” More movement. Only when movement, | being, and expression came together, however, was there light. Light |
D:15.12 | Expression, movement, and | being are about what is eternal passing through what is temporal. |
D:15.20 | which sustains life. Sustaining unity or Christ-consciousness is | being done with the need to maintain conditions that allow it to be |
D:16.1 | stage of becoming who you are. This is the stage in which movement, | being, and expression come together into the recreation of wholeness |
D:16.4 | You can be an expression of | being and yet not express the wholeness of being. This is a |
D:16.4 | can be an expression of being and yet not express the wholeness of | being. This is a description of the state of becoming. It is a |
D:16.5 | and effect. When you move from the state of becoming to the state of | being whole, you will have moved through the act of creation and you |
D:16.6 | You were told within this Course that | being is as love is. Here you are told that being is a principle of |
D:16.6 | within this Course that being is as love is. Here you are told that | being is a principle of creation and you are not told that love is a |
D:16.6 | cannot be learned, and so has stood apart from the time of learning. | Being could be learned here, because it was not yet whole. Being is |
D:16.6 | learning. Being could be learned here, because it was not yet whole. | Being is synonymous with identity. When your being and your identity, |
D:16.6 | it was not yet whole. Being is synonymous with identity. When your | being and your identity, your Self and your awareness of Self are |
D:16.6 | your Self and your awareness of Self are whole and complete, | being, like love, is no longer capable of being learned, for it no |
D:16.6 | are whole and complete, being, like love, is no longer capable of | being learned, for it no longer has attributes. |
D:16.7 | that remained in union, in eternal completion, when form came into | being. |
D:16.8 | Yet movement, | being, and expression are also what is because they are the givens. |
D:16.8 | the way of the unified principles of creation, the way of movement, | being, and expression. |
D:16.9 | existing in time and form, choose to stand apart from movement, | being, and expression. You can choose, in other words, to exist |
D:16.9 | because you exist and that as long as you exist in form you are | being because you are being something. You are alive. You have form. |
D:16.9 | and that as long as you exist in form you are being because you are | being something. You are alive. You have form. You think and feel. |
D:16.9 | you think, you must at least be. You are, after all, called a human | being. |
D:16.10 | While you are becoming you are still | being acted upon by creation. You are still being acted upon by |
D:16.10 | becoming you are still being acted upon by creation. You are still | being acted upon by creation because you are not yet whole. When you |
D:16.10 | time to move out of the time of becoming who you are to the time of | being who you are,” it was not said that this time of becoming was |
D:16.11 | is movement. Movement is given and becomes movement in form. | Being is given and becomes being in form. Expression is given and |
D:16.11 | is given and becomes movement in form. Being is given and becomes | being in form. Expression is given and becomes expression in form. |
D:16.11 | you were in movement. Since you were conceived in form, you were | being. Since you were conceived in form, you were expressing. It |
D:16.13 | unity, in form. In your time of directly experiencing the movement, | being, and expression of unity, you are being who you are. At other |
D:16.13 | experiencing the movement, being, and expression of unity, you are | being who you are. At other times, you are becoming who you are. |
D:16.14 | In your time of directly experiencing the movement, | being, and expression of unity, you are whole and complete, you feel |
D:16.14 | what you know. You realize fully that you are no longer a learning | being and that you have no need for teachers or for guidance other |
D:16.15 | At times when you are not directly experiencing the movement, | being, and expression of unity, you realize the state of becoming. To |
D:16.15 | an in-between exists between the time of learning and the time of | being the elevated Self of form; that times still exist in which you |
D:16.21 | This image, | being but an image, is incapable of true joining in relationship. You |
D:17.14 | you are, and in that state, fully accept that your contribution is | being made, will desire still be with you? |
D:Day1.2 | Beliefs are not what is | being spoken of here. Acceptance is. Acceptance is not belief, it is |
D:Day1.12 | It matters not. The power of God is not what is | being spoken of here. It is our power that is being spoken of here. |
D:Day1.12 | of God is not what is being spoken of here. It is our power that is | being spoken of here. The power of the god man. The power of God |
D:Day1.13 | can be returned. This is simply the way it is. It is not about | being right or being wrong, about one being more and others less. |
D:Day1.13 | This is simply the way it is. It is not about being right or | being wrong, about one being more and others less. This is simply the |
D:Day1.13 | the way it is. It is not about being right or being wrong, about one | being more and others less. This is simply the way to sameness of |
D:Day1.13 | being more and others less. This is simply the way to sameness of | being, to the reunion of all, from the holiest of the holy to the |
D:Day1.26 | The chain of events of creation include, thus far, the movement of | being into form and the movement of being beyond form. What will be |
D:Day1.26 | thus far, the movement of being into form and the movement of | being beyond form. What will be realized through the secret of |
D:Day2.3 | that has brought a new “haunting” to some of you. Your life is | being seen more as a whole now. The parts are fitting together. You |
D:Day2.6 | is as if, at this mountain peak, you have discovered a lightness of | being, and yet within it is this stone of regret. You continue to |
D:Day3.5 | product of the condition of learning. It always was, but now this is | being revealed to you not just through my words, but by your |
D:Day3.6 | Some of you will feel excitement at the idea of this issue | being finally discussed; but be aware of your feelings as we proceed, |
D:Day3.7 | of a certain type, even extending to a new comfortableness of | being. You believe having a spiritual context for your life can, in |
D:Day3.13 | this, then that.” The idea of abundance earned. The idea of nothing | being truly free. Not you, and not your gifts. Everything coming with |
D:Day3.14 | in which you know and have no idea what to do with what you know. | Being unable to replace, in application, the false with the true, the |
D:Day3.17 | Let’s be clear that we are not speaking of money or abundance as | being “given” when it is hard work to attain. Not even when it seems |
D:Day3.40 | “concept” or idea about what you have gained from unity thus far | being that which can be gained through the mind. As you advance, and |
D:Day3.44 | just as joy rather than sorrow is your natural state. What you are | being asked to do here, is to open the self of form to the place of |
D:Day3.45 | Being open to the divine flow of union is the exact opposite of the | |
D:Day3.49 | realizing that you are still acting in accord with ideas of it | being an “if this, then that” world. You try to guess what God might |
D:Day3.49 | that” world. You try to guess what God might want you to do, be it | being still and not worrying about money, or taking actions, |
D:Day3.52 | surrender that is necessary for the final acceptance to come into | being. |
D:Day3.53 | Just as you were told you cannot “think” great ideas into | being, or great talent into fruition, just as you were told, in other |
D:Day3.61 | of abundance is the way to abundance. Active acceptance is a way of | being in relationship with all that flows from unity. This you cannot |
D:Day4.5 | within you. Although the divine design of the time of learning is | being recreated, the ceaseless pattern of learning remains. |
D:Day4.7 | creation story that symbolizes man’s journey, early man was not a | being who learned in the same way that you do. Early man had no |
D:Day4.13 | words if you do not feel you have access to this place. It is like | being told that all of the treasure you might desire is locked away |
D:Day4.21 | This feeling of | being misled is another cause of your anger—one of the primary |
D:Day4.22 | solace to an anger so profound? How can you be certain you are not | being misled once again? |
D:Day4.23 | Establishing your identity. You needed to first know yourself as a | being existing in union before you could know anything else with the |
D:Day4.27 | To know the basic truth of who you are—that you are a | being who exists in unity rather than in separation—is thus the |
D:Day4.39 | acceptance of the truth of who you really are, then our purpose of | being together here on this mountain top will go unfulfilled. |
D:Day4.49 | choice, if you do not truly and wholeheartedly meet the condition of | being fearless, you will know this, and you will pass through the |
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 a laying |
D:Day5.17 | clones or one specific type of idealized holy person. Union is | being fully who you are and expressing fully who you are. This is the |
D:Day5.19 | doubts. Doubts are never more pronounced than when specifics are | being dealt with. Yet you continue to desire specifics. This is |
D:Day5.20 | effort to what you read here. Just accept what is given. All that is | being given is the helpful hints you have desired from an older |
D:Day5.21 | as a needle but as the wisdom you seek. Imagine this wisdom not as | being stopped by the layers of thinking and feeling that we used the |
D:Day5.26 | air you breathe is “of” you. You may think of the air you exhale as | being more “of” you, but there is no more or less to the relationship |
D:Day6.1 | We now will discuss | being the true Self while becoming the true Self—the time in |
D:Day6.1 | an in-between exists between the time of learning and the time of | being the elevated Self of form. This is what our time on this holy |
D:Day6.2 | holy mountain. This is not a second-best situation. Although it is | being handled in this way partially because to ask you to walk away |
D:Day6.4 | to this example. We have spoken of becoming as the time of movement, | being, and expression coming together. We have further spoken of your |
D:Day6.5 | Movement , | Being, Expression; Convergence, Intersection, Pass-through. |
D:Day6.6 | I choose this particular example to address this particular time of | being in-between. Let us consider the creation of a piece of music. |
D:Day6.11 | where there is no distinction between Creator and created. You are | being who you are right now and eliciting the expression that will |
D:Day6.11 | eliciting the expression that will take you to the final stage of | being who you will be in oneness. |
D:Day6.18 | 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:Day6.21 | your scientists to know what to look for, they would find it. It is | being created to exist both within the body and beyond the body. It |
D:Day6.24 | companion. Would you desire to prolong your time as an apprentice by | being removed from the performance of your tasks? Perhaps you would. |
D:Day6.30 | than yourself in order to navigate your daily life? What you are | being shown here is that you do not. What you are going to realize |
D:Day6.30 | the qualities that will allow this. This is the point of movement, | being, and expression coming together. The point of convergence, |
D:Day7.1 | imply but that you were previously unaccepting? And what does | being unaccepting imply but the very denial of yourself that you have |
D:Day7.11 | of creation and include those we have already spoken of as movement, | being, and expression; and convergence, intersection and pass-through. |
D:Day8.3 | acceptance of what you do not like. Do you really think you are | being called to accept “normal life?” Called to accept those |
D:Day8.3 | accept those conditions that have made you feel unhappy? No! You are | being called to an acceptance of new conditions! |
D:Day8.16 | just as you cannot predetermine either your likes or dislikes. | Being aware of how you feel in the present moment is the only way to |
D:Day8.20 | you see not the true Self and the holiness of the true Self | being expressed in the feelings of a present moment situation, but |
D:Day8.21 | your feelings in present time. This is a recognition that by | being in the present you know your feelings are of the truth. This is |
D:Day8.26 | self of potential, the future self you think you can only dream of | being. The ego-self was the self you felt safe presenting to the |
D:Day8.29 | not allowed yourself to enjoy the freedom of the new, the freedom of | being your true Self. |
D:Day9.10 | come to see as enlightened ones. It may be linked to your ideas of | being able to express wisdom or compassion. The image of the ideal |
D:Day9.13 | well. It is the epitome of learning, what you have seen learning as | being for. While other learning goals may have receded, this one |
D:Day9.27 | beauty and truth. You express the beauty and truth of who you are by | being alive. It has only been your inability to accept this that has |
D:Day10.12 | the perfect vehicle for learning in the time of learning, it is now | being transformed into the perfect vehicle for the realization of the |
D:Day10.19 | You needed the reference point of a “person,” of a | being who had lived and breathed and met challenges similar to your |
D:Day10.27 | than they were in life, even while you are able to imagine them | being peaceful and free of the constraints of the body. This is as |
D:Day10.30 | to acknowledge that feelings are involved at every level of every | being you can imagine. Consciousness is about what you are aware of, |
D:Day10.31 | If you are | being called to acknowledge these feelings, what are you being called |
D:Day10.31 | If you are being called to acknowledge these feelings, what are you | being called to do with them? You are being called to respond to them |
D:Day10.31 | these feelings, what are you being called to do with them? You are | being called to respond to them with acceptance and love. As a man, I |
D:Day10.36 | from one another and from God—until recently. Now unity is | being sought and unity is being found. |
D:Day10.36 | from God—until recently. Now unity is being sought and unity is | being found. |
D:Day11.5 | relationships joining in union that the One Self is capable of | being either the observer or the observed. This is as true of God as |
D:Day11.8 | of the unknowable and the knowable through movement, expression, and | being. |
D:Day12.2 | Imagine the air around you | being visible and your form an invisible space within the visible |
D:Day12.9 | Non-human obstacles have no need of | being deflected for their boundaries have not been made solid by |
D:Day13.2 | through relationship with other selves experiencing oneness through | being selves of form. |
D:Day13.4 | is the love of God. There is no other love. God’s love is constantly | being given, received, and felt in relationship. God’s love is your |
D:Day13.6 | transparent. Through this transparency, the reality of the One Self | being also the many, or the all, is apparent. The spaciousness of |
D:Day13.7 | and totally spacious, for fear is part of the density of form, | being a lack of love. |
D:Day14.7 | you did not understand them and could not assign meaning to them. | Being inexplicable the “holding pattern” that you entered into with |
D:Day15.3 | to maintain Christ-consciousness you begin the movement away from | being observed to being in-formed by the spirit which animates all |
D:Day15.3 | you begin the movement away from being observed to | being in-formed by the spirit which animates all things. You begin |
D:Day15.7 | practiced has prepared you to move from observation to informing and | being informed. |
D:Day15.9 | observation without judgment, you learned to be neutral observers. | Being neutral observers allowed cause and effect to occur naturally |
D:Day15.11 | level of neutrality along with you. This is why observation is not | being replaced. Observation is needed until this level of neutrality |
D:Day15.12 | What does it mean to practice informing and | being informed? It means to join together with others who have the |
D:Day15.13 | and seek to keep your unworthiness hidden? Do you still fear | being known? |
D:Day15.16 | of the One Self with the “one group self.” This is not a time of | being judged or of adopting the beliefs of others but one of finally |
D:Day15.22 | depriving them of anything when you slip into observable states of | being. There is a purpose for this time in which both informing and |
D:Day15.22 | is a purpose for this time in which both informing and observing, | being informed and being the observed coexist. You must respect the |
D:Day15.22 | this time in which both informing and observing, being informed and | being the observed coexist. You must respect the boundaries of those |
D:Day15.24 | such, this time is also a beginning to the practice of realizing and | being able to accept a certain duality. Without necessarily realizing |
D:Day15.24 | it, your consciousness has been in two places at once without | being divided. As you re-enter life on level-ground, this ability to |
D:Day15.26 | your ability to embrace all while focusing on your own purpose in | being here, will begin a new process of individuation. The |
D:Day15.27 | eager to strike out on your own. You may have thought the joining | being done here was the joining with a specific group rather than a |
D:Day15.28 | identity. We have now debunked your myths about your true identity | being an idealized form of the self. Now are you ready, through your |
D:Day17.1 | and Christ-consciousness, since you have been life-conscious without | being Christ-conscious. You have been the created without being the |
D:Day17.1 | without being Christ-conscious. You have been the created without | being the creator. Something has been missing. What is Christ? What |
D:Day17.2 | and the animated, the informer and the informed, the movement, | being, and expression of creation. Christ is that which anointed form |
D:Day17.3 | the time, once again, for you to claim your identity. Although | being who you are has been discussed in many ways, many of you still |
D:Day17.3 | who you are has been discussed in many ways, many of you still await | being different than who you are. This is because you realize that |
D:Day17.3 | being different than who you are. This is because you realize that | being your true Self is being in union, undivided and inseparable |
D:Day17.3 | you are. This is because you realize that being your true Self is | being in union, undivided and inseparable from God, the All of All. |
D:Day17.5 | let that consciousness be their guiding force—that by which their | being gained movement and expression. Those like Jesus, who fully |
D:Day17.5 | in form, did so as individuals, by not negating their | being as they realized this connection. Many others with realization |
D:Day17.7 | the second coming of Christ but the first coming—the movement of | being into form. This being was fully expressed by Jesus Christ, who |
D:Day17.7 | Christ but the first coming—the movement of being into form. This | being was fully expressed by Jesus Christ, who represented, in form, |
D:Day18.3 | and appropriate in this final period are those of acceptance and of | being an example life. |
D:Day18.4 | Only those who have fully accepted who they are, are capable of | being example lives. These example lives are evidenced through the |
D:Day18.5 | of the One Self amongst the many. They find renewed pleasure in | being who they are because they have been renewed through |
D:Day19.1 | purposeless at times, while at other times, you feel as if you are | being exactly as you are meant to be. |
D:Day19.2 | this is overly simplified, you might think of this as the artist | being content in creating art, the musician in creating music, the |
D:Day19.4 | Being content is being fulfilled by the way in which you express who | |
D:Day19.4 | Being content is | being fulfilled by the way in which you express who you are—by the |
D:Day19.4 | that this reflection is the new way of creation. In their | being they become what they want to create. |
D:Day19.10 | but are required to do in the sense of receiving, sharing, and | being what they are asked to become. This is an act of incarnation, |
D:Day19.10 | incarnation, and is a new pattern, a pattern of what can be imagined | being made real, not through doing, but through the creative act of |
D:Day19.11 | in the world but what they do will be a byproduct of their way of | being rather than a means of facilitating that way of being. Many of |
D:Day19.11 | their way of being rather than a means of facilitating that way of | being. Many of the way of Mary will find acclaim, yet neither acclaim |
D:Day19.11 | acclaim nor obscurity will matter to those following these ways. | Being true to the self and the calling of the One Self is all that |
D:Day19.15 | of the new. It was spoken of earlier as the act of informing and | being informed, as the step beyond that of observing and being |
D:Day19.15 | and being informed, as the step beyond that of observing and | being observed. It is where creation of the new can begin because it |
D:Day19.15 | the observer, that is the creative force, the animator and informer. | Being joined in union and relationship allows for the channeling of |
D:Day19.16 | the way of Mary to support, encourage, and reflect the new to those | being examples of the way of Jesus. This too is tricky for it can |
D:Day20.4 | is new, but the way of saying this is the expression of the human | being receiving it. The way in which you are hearing and responding |
D:Day20.4 | to these truths is perhaps new, but that way too is of the human | being receiving it, in this case, you. |
D:Day21.3 | Nothing was capable of | being taught or learned without the reception of what the giver gave. |
D:Day21.7 | available within each moment and that the interaction, rather than | being one of taking something from an outside source into the self |
D:Day21.9 | offered himself as a teacher in order to bring you to the place of | being willing to accept that a teacher was not needed. He joined you |
D:Day22.1 | can occur in regards to channeling. Yesterday we spoke of teachers | being channels during the time of learning. It was also noted that |
D:Day22.2 | in the example used was also an intermediary with the separation | being between the known and the unknown. Thus, a channel could be |
D:Day22.3 | is seen as having something unavailable to everyone rather than | being seen as a means to provide, or channel, availability to |
D:Day22.8 | stream and every blowing wind. It is there in each and every human | being. It is now time to quit acting as if it is not. It is time to |
D:Day22.8 | for the awareness of union with God that exists in every living | being. |
D:Day23.1 | you are is what you are here to make known and thus you must be a | being who knows love without fear, joy without sorrow, and life |
D:Day23.3 | As we spoke earlier of | being a channel, today we speak of being a carrier. Your instruction |
D:Day23.3 | As we spoke earlier of being a channel, today we speak of | being a carrier. Your instruction has been given. Now the task before |
D:Day27.1 | Think now not of | being apprehensive in terms of being fearful of the rest of your |
D:Day27.1 | Think now not of being apprehensive in terms of | being fearful of the rest of your life, but apprehensive in terms of |
D:Day27.6 | Now you contain within you the ability to combine both levels of | being through the experience of life. You have already been doing |
D:Day27.16 | but the experience of separation. What we are speaking of now is | being able to experience wholeness and the variability of experience |
D:Day28.8 | is new, but the reality of wholeness that is new. The reality of | being able to experience the variability of separation from within |
D:Day28.25 | but experience is. Your will and God’s are one and thus it is | being made so. |
D:Day29.5 | of another kind, it is, in actuality, access to a state of | being. |
D:Day29.6 | of interaction, it has been, in actuality, access to a new state of | being. |
D:Day29.7 | A new state of | being is a new reality. It is linked with your notion of who and |
D:Day30.3 | Self as what is common to wholeness. Despite unlimited variations | being available, commonality is also always available. Thus no matter |
D:Day31.4 | without division. Wholeness and oneness are the same. You are one in | being with your Father, your Creator, the originator and denominator |
D:Day32.5 | First we will look at the concept of God as Supreme | Being—God as one being, one entity. When thought of in such a way, |
D:Day32.5 | we will look at the concept of God as Supreme Being—God as one | being, one entity. When thought of in such a way, it is somewhat |
D:Day32.7 | Big Bang or evolution, this notion presents the concept of something | being begun and then turned loose, proceeding from its beginnings |
D:Day32.8 | a force, a unifying factor. God is closer, within this idea, to | being a participatory being, but still falls short. Man lives and has |
D:Day32.8 | factor. God is closer, within this idea, to being a participatory | being, but still falls short. Man lives and has free will. Animals |
D:Day32.13 | Whether God is seen as Creator or Supreme | Being, God is still seen as the All Powerful. While God is seen as |
D:Day32.15 | relationship, then separation would truly exist. Each entity or | being would be singular and alone. Yet God has been referred to as |
D:Day32.17 | of God to Jesus was that of Father to Son but also as one in | being. One in being, but different in relationship. |
D:Day32.17 | to Jesus was that of Father to Son but also as one in being. One in | being, but different in relationship. |
D:Day32.18 | Could God be one in | being, but different in relationship, to each of us? Could not God’s |
D:Day32.18 | different in relationship, to each of us? Could not God’s oneness of | being be the consciousness we all share? Could not God’s relationship |
D:Day32.18 | God from us and us from God? So that we are both one in | being and different? Could it be that while we are one in being with |
D:Day32.18 | one in being and different? Could it be that while we are one in | being with God we can also become more god-like through the practice |
D:Day32.18 | can be more like unto God in relationship, even while you are God in | being? |
D:Day32.19 | power stems from His relationship to everything rather than from His | being? This is the easiest way to say this, if not quite accurate. |
D:Day32.19 | being? This is the easiest way to say this, if not quite accurate. | Being is power. But being, like oneness, cannot know itself without |
D:Day32.19 | easiest way to say this, if not quite accurate. Being is power. But | being, like oneness, cannot know itself without relationship. You are |
D:Day32.19 | oneness, cannot know itself without relationship. You are one in | being with your Father, with God, with the Creator and with all of |
D:Day32.19 | with the Creator and with all of creation. You are also, however, a | being that exists in relationship. The extent of your ability to be |
D:Day32.20 | God is the | being and the relationship. You are capable of all the power of God’s |
D:Day32.20 | and the relationship. You are capable of all the power of God’s | being but you are powerful only as God is powerful—in relationship. |
D:Day33.1 | The power of God exists within everyone because all are one in | being with God. And yet this power cannot be used. It can only serve. |
D:Day33.2 | situations and events are relationships too—lies within your own | being. Being in relationship. This is what you are and what your |
D:Day33.2 | and events are relationships too—lies within your own being. | Being in relationship. This is what you are and what your world is. |
D:Day33.2 | Being in relationship. This is what you are and what your world is. | Being in relationship. |
D:Day33.3 | All relationship is holy because it is within relationship that | being is found and known and interacted with. Relationship is thus |
D:Day33.3 | and interacted with. Relationship is thus the route or access to | being and being the route or access to relationship. One cannot exist |
D:Day33.3 | with. Relationship is thus the route or access to being and | being the route or access to relationship. One cannot exist without |
D:Day33.3 | This is the divine marriage, the divine relationship of form and | being. |
D:Day33.4 | While these may seem like simple words, or like a theory | being proposed, these words are at the heart of the new way of seeing |
D:Day33.5 | you confront the events and situations of your world, that you are | being in relationship. It is to your being that the people, places, |
D:Day33.5 | of your world, that you are being in relationship. It is to your | being that the people, places, events and situations that make up |
D:Day33.5 | make up your world appeal. It is in your response that who you are | being is revealed. |
D:Day33.6 | You are | being a who. Your who is your individuated self. But your who is also |
D:Day33.6 | your individuated self. But your who is also your representation of | being. The two becoming one—the individuated self becoming one in |
D:Day33.6 | being. The two becoming one—the individuated self becoming one in | being—is the aim toward which we have journeyed together. |
D:Day33.7 | You might think of | being as what you are, and responding as who you are. You have been |
D:Day33.7 | responding as who you are. You have been told that these words are | being given to you so that you do not respond to love in the same way |
D:Day33.7 | that comes to you or happens to you. Yet if relationship and | being are one, and you are one in being and different in |
D:Day33.7 | to you. Yet if relationship and being are one, and you are one in | being and different in relationship, what is being said is that being |
D:Day33.7 | one, and you are one in being and different in relationship, what is | being said is that being and relationship are of one piece, one |
D:Day33.7 | in being and different in relationship, what is being said is that | being and relationship are of one piece, one whole, and that whole is |
D:Day33.7 | everything that comes to you, every event, every situation, is of | being, which is God, which is love. |
D:Day33.10 | this is by always knowing and never forgetting who you are. You are | being in relationship: The creator of events as well as the |
D:Day33.11 | is with love because all relationship is with God, who is one in | being with you. |
D:Day33.12 | Being is power. Relationship is powerful. In other words, | |
D:Day33.12 | of power. In the time of Jesus, the powerful were seen as | being blessed by God and the powerless as not being so blessed. This |
D:Day33.12 | powerful were seen as being blessed by God and the powerless as not | being so blessed. This way of seeing has gone much unchanged. All are |
D:Day33.13 | everyone does have a relationship with power. Power is one in | being with each and every one of us. Every single individual has |
D:Day33.13 | their power. A baby realizes the power of its cry within moments of | being born. Many a teenager develops full realization of the power of |
D:Day33.14 | This is the power of | being. The power to individuate the Self. The power to be who you |
D:Day33.15 | of oneness and unity, the realization that you are one in | being, creator and created. This is a realization that only comes of |
D:Day34.1 | the new way of seeing the Self just spoken of—seeing the Self as | being in relationship—is key to creating a new world, how does this |
D:Day34.3 | with everything creates sameness—or the very oneness in | being that we have been talking about. |
D:Day34.4 | is upon you now is the desire to know and experience this oneness of | being in relationship rather than the difference of being in |
D:Day34.4 | this oneness of being in relationship rather than the difference of | being in relationship—the wholeness of being in relationship rather |
D:Day34.4 | than the difference of being in relationship—the wholeness of | being in relationship rather than the separation of being in |
D:Day34.4 | the wholeness of being in relationship rather than the separation of | being in relationship. |
D:Day34.5 | This wholehearted desire can be fulfilled in you—it is | being fulfilled in you. As it is fulfilled in you, you will create a |
D:Day34.7 | you will experience yourself as powerless. If you experience your | being as powerless, you are negating the power of God who is one in |
D:Day34.7 | being as powerless, you are negating the power of God who is one in | being with you. |
D:Day34.8 | asking each other to experience our power—the power of sameness of | being. Are you willing to experience the power of God? To let it flow |
D:Day35.1 | In your relationship to God, who is your | being, you can know relationship to everything, because in this one |
D:Day35.2 | In this fullness of | being there is only love. In this fullness of being is found the |
D:Day35.2 | In this fullness of being there is only love. In this fullness of | being is found the means for the extension of love. In this fullness |
D:Day35.2 | is found the means for the extension of love. In this fullness of | being is found the cause for love. Means and end are one. Cause and |
D:Day35.2 | love. Means and end are one. Cause and effect the same. Fullness of | being is thus the answer that you have sought and that you have |
D:Day35.3 | This fullness of | being is different for each one of you because it is the cause and |
D:Day35.3 | You have always existed in relationship with God who is your | being. But while it has been said that you are one in being and |
D:Day35.3 | who is your being. But while it has been said that you are one in | being and different in relationship, relationship is also God. God is |
D:Day35.4 | in relationship to yourself and others, without realizing that your | being is God, that others are one with you, that God is the |
D:Day35.5 | you might ask, was it once possible for you to be so unaware of your | being that you were not sharing the relationship of everything with |
D:Day35.7 | and equal manner, to the most elemental and fundamental aspects of | being human, while carrying within you a very elemental and |
D:Day35.7 | a very elemental and fundamental idea—the idea that you are one in | being and different in relationship. The idea that you return to your |
D:Day35.11 | a desire to know a higher self. You return knowing you are one in | being with your Creator and accepting your power to create. You |
D:Day35.13 | Unity is oneness of | being. Relationship is different expressions of oneness of being. |
D:Day35.13 | of being. Relationship is different expressions of oneness of | being. |
D:Day35.14 | Being a creator must begin with full realization of oneness of being, | |
D:Day35.14 | Being a creator must begin with full realization of oneness of | being, which is unity, because without this full realization the |
D:Day35.18 | Being a creator, and creating anew, is different than being affected | |
D:Day35.18 | Being a creator, and creating anew, is different than | being affected by the ongoing nature of creation. Saying that you |
D:Day35.20 | And yet you are not | being called upon to create as you have been, but to create as who |
D:Day35.20 | upon to create as you have been, but to create as who you truly are | being. You are called to nothing short of creating a new heaven and a |
D:Day35.20 | than the miracle does. It does not entail choice. It is a way of | being. When you are fully aware of your oneness of being and begin to |
D:Day35.20 | It is a way of being. When you are fully aware of your oneness of | being and begin to create in unity and relationship, you will do so |
D:Day35.20 | begin to create in unity and relationship, you will do so by simply | being who you are being, just as you have “created” during the time |
D:Day35.20 | unity and relationship, you will do so by simply being who you are | being, just as you have “created” during the time of your separation |
D:Day35.20 | just as you have “created” during the time of your separation by | being who you have thought yourself to be. |
D:Day36.4 | Powerlessness is moving through life as a | being without the power to create. |
D:Day36.7 | in creatorship. Creator and creation are one. You are one in | being with the power of creation and different in your relationship |
D:Day36.9 | You have always been creating because you have always been one in | being with God who is endlessly creating. But you are only now a |
D:Day36.10 | same difference is what is meant when it is said that you are one in | being and different in relationship. Without your awareness of unity |
D:Day36.10 | just as with all and nothing, there was no difference between your | being and God’s being without relationship. You could conceive of |
D:Day36.10 | and nothing, there was no difference between your being and God’s | being without relationship. You could conceive of self and God in |
D:Day36.10 | but only perceive of difference. You thus always remained one in | being with God, yet continued to relate only to a world and to |
D:Day36.10 | to relate only to a world and to experiences you perceived as | being either created by a separate God or created by your separate |
D:Day36.10 | 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:Day36.10 | separate self. You experienced the power of being because you were a | being who existed, but you did not experience being powerful. |
D:Day36.10 | because you were a being who existed, but you did not experience | being powerful. |
D:Day36.11 | There is only difference between your | being and God in relationship. This is the example that the ideas of |
D:Day36.11 | Spirit in relationship. Without relationship, God is simply all— | being. Without relationship, what is not God is simply being—simply |
D:Day36.11 | simply all—being. Without relationship, what is not God is simply | being—simply existing at the opposite end of the continuum of |
D:Day36.12 | to the power of creation. The illusion is an illusion of simply | being. Is this not how you have seen yourself? As a simple being |
D:Day36.12 | of simply being. Is this not how you have seen yourself? As a simple | being doing your best to live the life you’ve been given? All the |
D:Day36.12 | this one before you now, have made no difference to your state of | being. You have just kept being, kept making choices between one |
D:Day36.12 | have made no difference to your state of being. You have just kept | being, kept making choices between one illusion and another in your |
D:Day36.13 | felt completely real to you and is completely real to the separate | being you have been being. |
D:Day36.13 | to you and is completely real to the separate being you have been | being. |
D:Day36.14 | Because you have always been one in | being with God, this power—this power of being—has always been |
D:Day36.14 | have always been one in being with God, this power—this power of | being—has always been yours. The power to feel—love, hate, anger, |
D:Day36.15 | To be a | being of feeling, thought, creativity and knowing or perception is to |
D:Day36.15 | thought, creativity and knowing or perception is to be one in | being with God. Accept this, for this is what God is and what you |
D:Day36.15 | God. Accept this, for this is what God is and what you are. This is | being. To be one in being with God and yet to exist outside of the |
D:Day36.15 | this is what God is and what you are. This is being. To be one in | being with God and yet to exist outside of the powerful state of |
D:Day36.16 | When you realize that you are one in | being with God and different in relationship you accept the power of |
D:Day36.16 | being with God and different in relationship you accept the power of | being, or individuating God. You accept the power of God. You become |
D:Day36.17 | God remains God who is one in | being with all, and God also is given form, or is, in other words, |
D:Day36.17 | differentiation, God is you as you are God. God retains oneness of | being and also becomes a being in union and relationship—in short— |
D:Day36.17 | you as you are God. God retains oneness of being and also becomes a | being in union and relationship—in short—a being in union and |
D:Day36.17 | and also becomes a being in union and relationship—in short—a | being in union and relationship with you. |
D:Day36.18 | You are not replaced by God whom you have always been one with in | being. You simply accept the truth of being and the truth of being in |
D:Day36.18 | have always been one with in being. You simply accept the truth of | being and the truth of being in union and relationship. Both at the |
D:Day36.18 | with in being. You simply accept the truth of being and the truth of | being in union and relationship. Both at the same time. Both/and |
D:Day36.19 | seem heretical to some of you when it is stated as directly as it is | being stated here. But our time together is coming to an end and your |
D:Day37.2 | If you no longer believe in God as a supreme and separate | being, why should it be difficult to see that God is being? This is |
D:Day37.2 | and separate being, why should it be difficult to see that God is | being? This is not much different than saying that the most basic |
D:Day37.2 | than saying that the most basic truth about you is that you are | being—and that the most basic truth about God is that God is being. |
D:Day37.2 | are being—and that the most basic truth about God is that God is | being. Yet the fact that you are being does not define who you are |
D:Day37.2 | truth about God is that God is being. Yet the fact that you are | being does not define who you are any better than the earlier example |
D:Day37.2 | example of your experiences would define who you are, because | being, by itself, does not differentiate or individuate you. |
D:Day37.3 | Recall that creation begins with movement. | Being is only being in relationship. Movement nor experience exist |
D:Day37.3 | Recall that creation begins with movement. Being is only | being in relationship. Movement nor experience exist without |
D:Day37.3 | —as nothing exists without relationship. But relationship, like | being and experience, does not differentiate or individuate you in |
D:Day37.3 | thinking: that is, you are a woman and not a man, you are a human | being and not a divine being, you are a person and not a tree. As a |
D:Day37.3 | are a woman and not a man, you are a human being and not a divine | being, you are a person and not a tree. As a separate being, you only |
D:Day37.3 | not a divine being, you are a person and not a tree. As a separate | being, you only relate to other separate things. In short, who you |
D:Day37.3 | you only relate to other separate things. In short, who you are | being is all predicated, first and foremost, by the relationship that |
D:Day37.3 | see yourself as separate from it, all that you experience with your | being is separation. All that you represent with your being is a |
D:Day37.3 | with your being is separation. All that you represent with your | being is a separate being or a separate self. |
D:Day37.3 | is separation. All that you represent with your being is a separate | being or a separate self. |
D:Day37.4 | This could not help but be your perception since you came into | being in a known world, where you were told that you are a person |
D:Day37.4 | and yet you were taught to experience only in separation from the | being you were being. And thus, not knowing your union and |
D:Day37.4 | were taught to experience only in separation from the being you were | being. And thus, not knowing your union and relationship with your |
D:Day37.4 | being. And thus, not knowing your union and relationship with your | being, but only your separate relationships with “others,” you saw |
D:Day37.4 | separate relationships with “others,” you saw yourself as a separate | being, and incapable of creating anything except, just possibly, the |
D:Day37.6 | The way of heart and mind, body and soul, heaven and earth. God is | being in unity and relationship. So are you. |
D:Day37.7 | God as if distinction means separation—as if God is a separate | being. If this were all this idea was, it would not be so difficult |
D:Day37.7 | you are separate, you created God as a particular and separate | being. |
D:Day37.8 | to continue a certain reliance. Your differentiation from the | being of God can only come through the relationship and unity that |
D:Day37.9 | God is that you want to believe that there is a compassionate | being in charge of everything, looking out for you, there to help |
D:Day37.9 | you, there to help when you are in need. God is all compassionate | being everywhere—not one being of compassion! In union and |
D:Day37.9 | you are in need. God is all compassionate being everywhere—not one | being of compassion! In union and relationship you realize this. And |
D:Day37.9 | you realize this. And you realize that all compassionate | being everywhere is a consciousness or beingness that you share. And |
D:Day37.9 | you realize that what is possible is for you to become the one | being of compassion that you already are in God. |
D:Day37.10 | And then you realize that Jesus was | being God and was called Jesus Christ because he lived within |
D:Day37.11 | was not destroyed by the removal of the parts. You “remain” one in | being. You “remain,” just as the numbers of simple mathematics |
D:Day37.11 | remain, one with the whole. You have seen yourself as capable of | being divisible from that which is your Source, but division, like |
D:Day37.12 | Let us look for a moment at what and who you have been | being and what and who God has been being. |
D:Day37.12 | at what and who you have been being and what and who God has been | being. |
D:Day37.13 | You have, quite simply, been | being. The simple truth that you are a being makes you one with God, |
D:Day37.13 | You have, quite simply, been being. The simple truth that you are a | being makes you one with God, who is being. This truth, however, has |
D:Day37.13 | The simple truth that you are a being makes you one with God, who is | being. This truth, however, has escaped you. So you have been being |
D:Day37.13 | who is being. This truth, however, has escaped you. So you have been | being the particular self you have “known” or perceived yourself to |
D:Day37.13 | yourself to be—the self you were defined as at birth—a human | being—something you have seen as separate rather than distinct from |
D:Day37.13 | you have seen as separate rather than distinct from the divine | being who is God. Because you are being, however, (and note here that |
D:Day37.13 | than distinct from the divine being who is God. Because you are | being, however, (and note here that you are being, and God is being, |
D:Day37.13 | is God. Because you are being, however, (and note here that you are | being, and God is being, and that it is not being said that either |
D:Day37.13 | are being, however, (and note here that you are being, and God is | being, and that it is not being said that either you or God are “a” |
D:Day37.13 | note here that you are being, and God is being, and that it is not | being said that either you or God are “a” being) you have power—the |
D:Day37.13 | being, and that it is not being said that either you or God are “a” | being) you have power—the power of being which is the power of |
D:Day37.13 | that either you or God are “a” being) you have power—the power of | being which is the power of thought, feeling, creating, and |
D:Day37.15 | than even all of this, you might ask, if you are one in | being with God, is it being said that you are being God? That you |
D:Day37.15 | all of this, you might ask, if you are one in being with God, is it | being said that you are being God? That you have been being God even |
D:Day37.15 | ask, if you are one in being with God, is it being said that you are | being God? That you have been being God even within the limited |
D:Day37.15 | God, is it being said that you are being God? That you have been | being God even within the limited parameters of life as you have |
D:Day37.16 | Unfortunately, this is not what is | being said. What is being said is that you are simply being. You are |
D:Day37.16 | Unfortunately, this is not what is being said. What is | being said is that you are simply being. You are being a feeling, |
D:Day37.16 | is not what is being said. What is being said is that you are simply | being. You are being a feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving human |
D:Day37.16 | being said. What is being said is that you are simply being. You are | being a feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving human being because |
D:Day37.16 | being. You are being a feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving human | being because this is what you believe yourself to be. You may see |
D:Day37.16 | you believe yourself to be. You may see yourself as a separate human | being having a separate and distinct relationship with God, by which |
D:Day37.16 | for which you have experiential or scientific proof. As a separate | being unable to know, you have been forced, or so you think, to rely |
D:Day37.17 | knowing have been used together here in describing the conditions of | being because you must be able to perceive in order to be a being. |
D:Day37.17 | of being because you must be able to perceive in order to be a | being. But knowing is also used because you are, as a being, just as |
D:Day37.17 | order to be a being. But knowing is also used because you are, as a | being, just as capable of knowing as you are of perceiving. In |
D:Day37.17 | it would be like to know God, but you cannot know, and your separate | being “knows” of this impossibility. This is why this Course has had, |
D:Day37.17 | objective, returning you to true knowing of your Self. A separate | being can only truly know itself. Yet in knowing yourself, you can |
D:Day37.18 | Certainly you “feel” like an individuated | being, a unique being. You “feel” love and you feel pain, and both |
D:Day37.18 | Certainly you “feel” like an individuated being, a unique | being. You “feel” love and you feel pain, and both feel quite |
D:Day37.18 | one else’s. You feel like a “you.” This too is “who” you have been | being, because as a being you feel. But here again, you have felt |
D:Day37.18 | like a “you.” This too is “who” you have been being, because as a | being you feel. But here again, you have felt only as a being in |
D:Day37.18 | because as a being you feel. But here again, you have felt only as a | being in separation can feel. You know that despite how often someone |
D:Day37.18 | how you feel and who you are. But you have felt doomed to never | being known and to never really sharing how you feel. |
D:Day37.19 | This is “who” you have been | being. |
D:Day37.21 | God is | being in unity and relationship with everything. Thus God knows you. |
D:Day37.21 | and relationship with everything. Thus God knows you. God is one in | being with you because you are one aspect of everything. As one being |
D:Day37.21 | in being with you because you are one aspect of everything. As one | being in unity and relationship with everything God is one with every |
D:Day37.21 | and the collective consciousness is that which links every | being with every other being in unity and relationship. |
D:Day37.21 | consciousness is that which links every being with every other | being in unity and relationship. |
D:Day37.22 | can also be confusing if it leads to thoughts of God as a particular | being. Yet the idea of God as Father, introduced and championed by |
D:Day37.24 | life used throughout this Course, was both man and God. He was | being in unity and relationship. Being God did not negate his being |
D:Day37.24 | was both man and God. He was being in unity and relationship. | Being God did not negate his being Jesus. And being Jesus did not |
D:Day37.24 | He was being in unity and relationship. Being God did not negate his | being Jesus. And being Jesus did not negate God being God. Jesus |
D:Day37.24 | and relationship. Being God did not negate his being Jesus. And | being Jesus did not negate God being God. Jesus could create God the |
D:Day37.24 | did not negate his being Jesus. And being Jesus did not negate God | being God. Jesus could create God the Father, could create a being |
D:Day37.24 | God being God. Jesus could create God the Father, could create a | being consistent with his being, because he was a creator. He was, in |
D:Day37.24 | create God the Father, could create a being consistent with his | being, because he was a creator. He was, in short, being in union and |
D:Day37.24 | with his being, because he was a creator. He was, in short, | being in union and relationship. |
D:Day37.25 | Jesus while at the same time each was different or individuated by | being in union and relationship. |
D:Day37.26 | to “all” that exists in union and relationship through your | being. |
D:Day37.27 | By simply | being, you have been “part” of God but you have not seen this as what |
D:Day37.27 | not seen this as what it really means either. You have seen this as | being separate, or at most as being “a” part of God—as if you are a |
D:Day37.27 | means either. 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— |
D:Day37.27 | of God and the lowliness of man. The “part” of God you have been | being is being. You have been a feeling, thinking, creating, |
D:Day37.27 | and the lowliness of man. The “part” of God you have been being is | being. You have been a feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving being. |
D:Day37.27 | is being. You have been a feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving | being. The “part” of God you have not been being is union. Remember, |
D:Day37.27 | creating, perceiving being. The “part” of God you have not been | being is union. Remember, God is being in union and relationship. |
D:Day37.27 | The “part” of God you have not been being is union. Remember, God is | being in union and relationship. This is what God is. God is being. |
D:Day37.27 | God is being in union and relationship. This is what God is. God is | being. God is relationship. God is union. |
D:Day37.29 | Like heart, mind, and body is to your form, | being, union, and relationship is to God’s “form.” |

D:Day38.8 | been called the tension of opposites, of being one’s own Self and | being one in union and relationship. These opposites, like all |
D:Day38.10 | Relationship and union are not other than this. | Being in relationship and union means just that. It means a love |
D:Day38.10 | any love you have known, for in not owning and possessing, in not | being owned and possessed by, and in, union and relationship, you |
D:Day38.11 | who I Am. Who is an acknowledgment of individuated or differentiated | being in union and relationship. |
D:Day38.13 | who are separate but relating in union. We are each other’s own | being. We are one and we are many. We are the same and we are |
D:Day38.13 | we are different. In “own”-ership we are full of one another’s own | being. We are each other’s own. |

D:Day39.5 | me as your God and as God of all. Of knowing you are no longer | being on your own and yet of having to come to this realization of |

D:Day39.6 | But it is a revelation that can only come to you as an individuated | being in union and relationship. This is what makes it a true |
D:Day39.7 | the Christ “in” you. Remember that you have been told of Christ | being a bridge. When you relate to anyone, Christ is there, bridging |
D:Day39.8 | because the boundaries of separation have fallen. To be individuated | being in union and relationship is to be Christ, to realize that what |
D:Day39.9 | Being in union is being all. Being in union and relationship requires | |

C:23.13 | I repeat: | Belief of another kind can foster the creation of form of another |

C:23.15 | entire foundation, a foundation previously built on fear. Clearly, | belief in the body was easily translated into a belief in the |
C:23.15 | on fear. Clearly, belief in the body was easily translated into a | belief in the validity of fear. When you are free of this |
C:23.15 | of fear. When you are free of this misperception, this inaccurate | belief, your body will be freed. It will no longer be an object of |

C:23.23 | held belief is no longer valid is the only way to truly purge that | belief. |
C:23.27 | to exert control over learning situations is a reflection of | belief that you have nothing to learn. An attitude of openness is |
C:25.12 | in concert with the universe. These attitudes confirm a continuing | belief in your separated and vulnerable state. During the time of |
C:25.13 | you hang on to wounds of any kind. All wounds are evidence of your | belief that you can be attacked and hurt. You have not necessarily |
C:28.3 | in a theory of mass that purports that when a certain magnitude of | belief occurs, evolutionary steps are brought about. This, however, |
C:28.3 | so a process intent upon bringing the collective to a fever pitch of | belief through common testimony is not our aim. |
C:28.12 | Again, as when you feel the need to convince others of your | belief, the need to give form to what is beyond form misses the point |
C:29.17 | as the nature of relationship is joy. Once you have given up your | belief in separation this will be known to you. |
C:29.18 | The choice to change your | belief is before you. Are you not ready to make it? |
C:30.7 | is built around the foundation of fear, a fear that stemmed from the | belief in finite life, in being born into a body and dying to the |
C:30.11 | and loss. This is why we have worked to leave thinking behind. This | belief in gain and loss is a cornerstone of your system of perception |
C:31.11 | them an identity we have called the ego. Without dislodging your | belief in your ego as yourself you will never realize your true |
T1:3.17 | unworthiness to perform miracles. Your unworthiness stems from your | belief that you are “only” human. You are not God. You are not a holy |
T1:4.17 | quite similarly and this would but lead to a continuation of the | belief in different forms of the truth. |
T1:7.2 | rather than abolishing suffering. This acceptance is due to the | belief that spirit has chosen a form, and more accurately put a |
T1:7.2 | to exist, and that that choice includes the choice to suffer. This | belief may accept suffering as a learning device rather than a |
T1:7.2 | still, in its acceptance of a false notion, invites suffering. This | belief accepts learning through contrast, that evil is seen in |
T1:7.2 | to good, peace in relation to chaos, love in relation to fear. This | belief exists in the in-between, where on the one hand there is |
T1:7.2 | absence of peace is conflict, the absence of truth illusion. This | belief does not accept that there is only one reality and that it |
T1:7.3 | away from all such beliefs to a knowing that precludes the need for | belief at all. |
T2:2.9 | than what they feel called to do. All of these ideas illustrate your | belief that something other than your own willingness is necessary. |
T2:6.8 | It is your | belief that change and growth are indicative of all that can be |
T2:7.5 | source of your unity. That you exist in relationship with all is a | belief that you must now incorporate into living. Further, you must |
T2:7.7 | This is the most difficult | belief of all to integrate into the living of your life. Each time |
T2:7.20 | with the recognition of your accomplishment, the acceptance of the | belief that giving and receiving are one in truth changes the |
T2:7.21 | While as stated previously, this | belief will at times seem difficult to put into practice, and while |
T2:7.21 | receiving and of needs being met may seem to still take time, this | belief builds on the belief of the already accomplished through |
T2:7.21 | being met may seem to still take time, this belief builds on the | belief of the already accomplished through experience. As you |
T2:7.21 | As you experience giving and receiving being one in truth, your | belief will become true conviction. Your ability to recognize giving |
T2:8.1 | this learning to come to completion, you must put into practice the | belief that no relationships are special. Your loyalty must be |
T2:9.4 | a way you believe in loss and gain rather than in the replacement | belief that there is no loss but only gain. |

T2:11.7 | followed from it. Thus your true identity must be recreated from the | belief in unity that is inherent in the acceptance that you are a |
T2:11.12 | available and did not overturn the laws of God. The ego is but your | belief that this has occurred; that what could never be true has |
T2:11.15 | from. This is how the notion of Christ as savior arose. This is the | belief in a good self and a bad self with Christ acting as conscience |
T2:11.16 | insanity exists. The alternative is removing all faith from your | belief in the ego-self. The alternative is replacing belief in an |
T2:11.16 | faith from your belief in the ego-self. The alternative is replacing | belief in an ego-self with belief in a Christ-Self. Total |
T2:11.16 | ego-self. The alternative is replacing belief in an ego-self with | belief in a Christ-Self. Total replacement. As long as you hang on to |
T2:12.1 | thinking. You have been made ready for this correction and your | belief in correction, or atonement, is the final belief that must be |
T2:12.1 | correction and your belief in correction, or atonement, is the final | belief that must be put into practice. |

T2:12.6 | As with the learning goal being set here of going beyond | belief to simply knowing, the learning goal in relation to the |
T2:12.6 | in relation to the miracle is the same—it is one of going beyond | belief in the miracle to simply knowing. Knowing is knowing the |
T3:1.8 | to exist. This statement implies and acknowledges your previous | belief in a personal self who existed as more than a representation. |
T3:2.4 | put forth in “A Treatise on Unity,” you are asked to accept a new | belief regarding the choice we have called the separation, a choice |
T3:2.5 | separated state was a step away from God and your real Self. This | belief was based in logic, but the logic of the illusion—in which |

T3:3.6 | this means is that you have replaced judgment with forgiveness as a | belief. You have put this belief into practice in each instance where |
T3:3.6 | replaced judgment with forgiveness as a belief. You have put this | belief into practice in each instance where you have seen it to be |
T3:7.1 | the initial idea of the separation. Where is there a corresponding | belief system that formed around the idea of God? |

T3:16.10 | is being said that you are lacking only in what you do not give. The | belief in lack is a temptation of the human experience. This will |
T3:21.13 | hold yourself to behaviors that fall within the parameters of your | belief system. You think of these things as part of what make up the |

C:19.5 | I have told you on faith alone. Experience is needed to change your | beliefs and to place your faith securely in them. The first step in |

T2:6.3 | your beliefs that this Course has brought about. Let us review these | beliefs and how they relate to your concept of time. |
T2:6.7 | Course in Miracles began with asking you to call into question these | beliefs in known, observable, facts. You may have regarded these |
T2:11.8 | replaced by new learning. Learning thus must complement your new | beliefs, the ultimate goal of this learning being the end of the need |
T2:11.8 | the ultimate goal of this learning being the end of the need for | beliefs at all. |
T2:12.3 | power of miracles is but the culmination and the integration of the | beliefs we have put forth here. The miracle I am offering you here is |
T2:12.13 | Let the | beliefs we have set forth become one with you so that they enable you |
T2:13.4 | beginning of the time of unity taking place around you, practice the | beliefs that have been put forth in this Treatise. Know that, in 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 |
T3:2.5 | in a need to both glorify the self and denigrate the self. These | beliefs have shaped your dualistic view of the world and all that |
T3:3.7 | When the truth becomes known to you, you know God for you know love. | Beliefs, and especially the changed beliefs we have worked together |
T3:3.7 | you know God for you know love. Beliefs, and especially the changed | beliefs we have worked together to integrate into your thought |
T3:3.7 | are only a first step, a step toward holy relationship. These new | beliefs of your new thought system must be wholehearted. They cannot |
T3:3.7 | of your new thought system must be wholehearted. They cannot be | beliefs that exist only in your mind, a new philosophy to be applied |
T3:3.9 | 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 drastic, your |
T3:3.9 | obligations, you would be much better suited to putting these | beliefs into practice. Or you might look at your behaviors, your |
T3:7.1 | As you have seen by now, we have moved from talking of | beliefs in “A Treatise on Unity,” to speaking here of ideas. God’s |
T3:7.1 | or idea, of absolute untruth. The ego’s thought system then formed | beliefs that supported the initial idea of the separation. Where is |
T3:7.2 | belief system is not needed for the truth. Thus you can see that the | beliefs put forth in “A Treatise on Unity” are necessary only to |
T3:7.2 | are necessary only to return you to the truth. Since there are no | beliefs that represent the truth of who you are and who God is, we |
T3:7.3 | told that you can represent the truth here. You cannot do this with | beliefs but you can do this with ideas. Ideas leave not their source, |
T3:8.1 | Symbols are needed only in the house of illusion, just as are | beliefs. The most enlightened among you have beautifully symbolized |
T3:8.4 | in its own history and that of those who came before it. These | beliefs hold the seeds of bitterness, the angst you feel towards God |
T3:8.5 | These are the | beliefs that would say that you, and all of those who came before |
T3:8.5 | rationale. Those who believe in past lives have also often adopted | beliefs regarding choice and believe that choices for suffering were |
T3:9.1 | without accepting their ability to be applied is to change your | beliefs without changing your ideas. This many have done. This you |
T3:9.7 | remained metaphorical because it did not pass beyond the arena of | beliefs into the arena of ideas. The Israelites believed in a |
T3:13.5 | are from the same source. That source has not been the body but your | beliefs about your body and yourself. You have believed pleasure to |
T3:13.7 | paying your way can be found. This old idea is consistent with all | beliefs of an “if this then that” nature. You might start practicing |
T3:13.13 | yourself. But it is not until you have your own ideas about those | beliefs that you own those beliefs in terms of making them your |
T3:13.13 | until you have your own ideas about those beliefs that you own those | beliefs in terms of making them your beliefs. To believe without |
T3:13.13 | beliefs that you own those beliefs in terms of making them your | beliefs. To believe without forming your own ideas about your beliefs |
T3:13.13 | your beliefs. To believe without forming your own ideas about your | beliefs is to be in danger of succumbing to false beliefs. |
T3:13.13 | ideas about your beliefs is to be in danger of succumbing to false | beliefs. |
T3:14.2 | goal toward which we work. These would be the consequences of new | beliefs that are held but not lived. Soon these fragile states would |
T3:15.14 | translation of the old thought system for the new continues, are the | beliefs that you adopted with the assistance of “A Treatise on Unity:” |
T3:15.16 | What we are adding now to these | beliefs is the idea that these beliefs can be represented in form. |
T3:15.16 | What we are adding now to these beliefs is the idea that these | beliefs can be represented in form. These beliefs can, with the help |
T3:15.16 | is the idea that these beliefs can be represented in form. These | beliefs can, with the help of the new thought system, change the very |
T3:16.6 | of the human experience. All of these temptations relate to the | beliefs set forth in “A Treatise on Unity.” |
T3:19.10 | of these temptations has been revealed to lie within the faulty | beliefs to which the body merely responded. The body’s response to |
T3:19.11 | to express themselves in harmful ways are deeply entrenched in false | beliefs about themselves. Because they are not expressing who they |
T3:19.12 | and see reality for what it is. Just as we are telling you that new | beliefs and ideas will lead to a new reality, old beliefs and ideas |
T3:19.12 | you that new beliefs and ideas will lead to a new reality, old | beliefs and ideas led to the old reality, a reality that will still |
T3:20.9 | act in ways inconsistent with compassion or even verbalize your new | beliefs, you are being told directly here that no circumstance should |
T3:20.10 | Your new thought system is not tied to | beliefs of an “if this, then that” nature. Look at the examples all |
T3:21.13 | So too is it with | beliefs. Many of you have a religious identity as well as a |
T3:21.13 | You may call yourself Christian or doctor or Democrat. You may have | beliefs you hold strongly, such as a stance against capital |
T3:21.13 | And you may, even while recognizing, as you surely do, that these | beliefs are subject to change, hold yourself to behaviors that fall |
T3:21.14 | an aspect we will call self-image, and an aspect that has to do with | beliefs. |
T3:21.15 | and sexual preferences, and so on. The aspect that has to do with | beliefs is linked to your thoughts and ideas about the world you live |
T3:21.17 | all the things we have enumerated above will act to challenge these | beliefs unless you are able to see them in a new light. No matter |
T4:1.2 | uncomfortable. It will continue to challenge your former ideas and | beliefs as have the previous Treatises. But it will do this only to |
T4:1.4 | not relate to the question. All of the commandments and all of the | beliefs of all of the world’s religions are but related to this idea |
T4:1.20 | received truth resulted in different religions and varying sets of | beliefs that, in the way of the time—the way of learning through |
T4:6.7 | Christ-consciousness is not a static state of | beliefs any more than singular consciousness is. Christ-consciousness |
D:6.2 | In the time of learning, you were so entrenched in your false | beliefs that their insanity needed to be stated and stated again. But |
D:9.9 | The same is true of the | beliefs set forth in “A Treatise on the Nature of Unity and Its |
D:9.10 | Thought” led to abilities beyond the thinking of the ego-mind, the | beliefs of the “Treatise on Unity” were meant to lead beyond the need |
D:9.10 | of the “Treatise on Unity” were meant to lead beyond the need for | beliefs, and “A Treatise on the Personal Self” meant to lead beyond |

D:Day1.1 | Why cannot everyone hold their distinct beliefs as long as they are | beliefs in the truth? |
D:Day1.2 | Beliefs are not what is being spoken of here. Acceptance is. | |
D:Day2.15 | here to accept me despite possible misgivings such as religious | beliefs, you are called to accept yourself. This unconditional |
D:Day3.12 | of an “if this, then that” world. An idea of a world in which the | beliefs set forth within this Course are neither seen nor lived by. |

D:Day9.12 | good from bad. It arose from the learning of moral and religious | beliefs. It arose from comparison. It arose from seeking. It arose |
D:Day10.5 | you felt a need for your doubt just as you felt a need for your | beliefs and for the reassurances that were important to your |

D:Day32.9 | Yet most religious | beliefs encompass the concept of a living God. How might God live? |
A.15 | themselves feeling less competitive or interested in asserting their | beliefs as it becomes clear to them that unlike in other learning |
A.15 | learning situations, there is no correct answer or specific set of | beliefs to be adopted. The student begins to move beyond the need for |
believability (1) |
||
C:P.15 | you have defined it is too amorphous, too lacking in definition and | believability to win this battle against what you perceive as your |
believable (3) |
||
C:18.10 | your decision making to have. The only way to make the unbelievable | believable is to alter what you experience. The state in which you |
C:20.42 | must be perfect. This is a conclusion both logical to the mind and | believable to the heart, and its acceptance is a step toward |
T3:2.11 | a reason has been given here and that this reason, while perfectly | believable, is not one that includes a need to abandon your Self or |
believe (329) |
||
C:P.9 | There are still few who dare to | believe in the glory of who they are, few who can lay aside the idea |
C:P.15 | rejecting who you are, you are demonstrating that you think you can | believe in some of the truth but not all of it. Many of you have |
C:P.15 | self that represents to you an invisible world in which you can | believe but not take part. You thus have placed the ego at odds with |
C:P.17 | from a place of misery and despair. What is more arrogant? To | believe that you alone can do what millions of others have not been |
C:P.17 | alone can do what millions of others have not been able to do? Or to | believe that you, in union with God, can? What makes more sense? To |
C:P.24 | A spirit that seeks to know what to do, a spirit that does not | believe in the answers it has been given. |
C:P.27 | again to live on in some form other than that of a man. Those who | believe the story have accepted that Jesus was God’s son before he |
C:P.28 | who walk this world with you. And yet your history, in which you so | believe, will tell you that the world has always been thus and that |
C:P.29 | back when heaven could have been reached, the cost in continuing to | believe in the laws of the world that govern the survival of the |
C:P.31 | What does it mean to | believe in God? You recognize that you cannot know God in the same |
C:P.40 | transformation take place “with your own two eyes,” you would not | believe that the two seemingly disparate creatures were the same. |
C:1.13 | ego has you endlessly striving to achieve. Your ego would have you | believe that only when you need no one to achieve all you desire, |
C:2.3 | Because love has no physical form you cannot | believe that love could be what you are, what you strive to be, what |
C:2.3 | you are, what you strive to be, what you seek to return to. Thus you | believe you are something other than love and separate from love. You |
C:2.6 | To | believe that you are able to act in love in one instance and act in |
C:2.8 | This is the most you have any hope of doing, and few of you | believe you will succeed. Others refuse to think of life in terms of |
C:2.8 | options available to creatures of a loving God is insane. Yet you | believe that to think the opposite is true insanity. Given even your |
C:2.11 | compassionate. You have defined it unlike the compassion of God. To | believe God looks upon misery and responds with sympathy and concern |
C:2.11 | responds with sympathy and concern and does not end the misery is to | believe in a God who is compassionate as you are compassionate. You |
C:2.12 | I am not an advocate of heartlessness but wholeheartedness. If you | believe even the tiniest fraction of what is true, if you but believe |
C:2.12 | If you believe even the tiniest fraction of what is true, if you but | believe you are a small part of God no bigger than a pinprick of |
C:2.12 | bigger than a pinprick of light in a daunting sun, you still cannot | believe in the reality of misery and despair. If you do, you believe |
C:2.12 | cannot believe in the reality of misery and despair. If you do, you | believe this is the state of God as well. And if this were true, what |
C:2.16 | heart and think you can involve one without involving the other. You | believe that to know with your mind is a learning process that stands |
C:2.21 | Do not | believe that all that you have learned will not do what it was given |
C:2.21 | you have learned will not do what it was given you to do. Do not | believe in your failure or the ego’s success. All you have learned is |
C:3.5 | these things real and all else unreal. You can close your eyes and | believe that you are in the dark, but you will not believe that you |
C:3.5 | your eyes and believe that you are in the dark, but you will not | believe that you are no longer real. Close your eyes on all that you |
C:3.9 | It is in what they symbolize that help arrives. You do not need to | believe in the words nor the potential of the exercises to change |
C:3.10 | within the mind. While you know this is true, you continue to | believe you are the effect and not the cause. This is partially due |
C:3.10 | been unable to let new learning have its effect. This is because you | believe your mind is in control of what it thinks. You believe in a |
C:3.10 | because you believe your mind is in control of what it thinks. You | believe in a process of input and output, all completely human and |
C:3.11 | thousand tests dependent on your senses and your judgment. While you | believe you know what will hurt you and what you will find |
C:3.12 | one reacts another, and it is only in the study of the two that you | believe learning takes place. |
C:3.16 | and over-trusted brain, a mind we cannot separate from where we | believe it to be. |
C:4.8 | is simply this: to proceed toward love or to withdraw from it, to | believe it is given or withheld. |
C:4.11 | perceptions of your brothers and sisters are what have caused you to | believe that love can fail, be lost, withdrawn, or turned to hate. |
C:4.12 | as joy. You each have an image in your mind of someone you | believe knows what love is. This is perhaps an elderly person who is |
C:4.12 | when the time is right. For that kind and gentle stance you do not | believe will serve you now, that blindness and self-sacrifice is |
C:4.15 | and the trappings of good upbringing. Those most insecure will | believe in a partner who would shower him or her with praise and |
C:4.16 | You | believe you can fall in love with the wrong person and make a better |
C:4.16 | better choice based upon criteria more important than love. You thus | believe love is a choice, something to be given to some and not to |
C:4.21 | your forays into the world that you have made and upon entering | believe you leave the world’s madness outside your door. Here you |
C:4.22 | their backs upon the world even for the scanty hours that they make | believe they can do so. Full-scale interaction with the world of |
C:5.11 | You do not yet | believe nor understand that the urges that you feel are real, and |
C:5.15 | upon it with your body’s eyes. The one you do not see and do not | believe in is the one you cannot look outward to see, but is the one |
C:5.22 | You cling to effort as if it is the way to God, not wanting to | believe all effort is in vain or that a simple solution exists. A |
C:5.23 | with a thousand choices to make, not once but many times, until you | believe that your power of choice is a fantasy and that you are |
C:6.6 | can do for you. Forgiveness of the original error—the choice to | believe that you are separate despite the fact that this is not so |
C:6.20 | yet you imagine them happy and at peace. Even those who claim not to | believe in God or an afterlife of any sort will, when prompted to be |
C:7.9 | is what you have chosen to keep secure and set aside there. When you | believe that this is so and that what you give away you will receive |
C:7.21 | their version of the truth, and for consistency’s sake you choose to | believe in the version of the truth most predominate in your society. |
C:7.23 | your heart, you will deny it not, nor its source. You do not need to | believe that this will happen, but only to allow for the possibility |
C:9.3 | that you have distorted. Your faulty memory has caused you to | believe love can be used to keep you safe, to make you happy and bind |
C:9.8 | what God created and turned it into an illusion so powerful that you | believe it is what you are, rather than believing in the truth. But |
C:9.11 | simple idea that you do not have what you need. You will continue to | believe this while your allegiance remains split. Until you have |
C:9.11 | Until you have withdrawn all faith in what you have made, you will | believe that what you made remains useful to you. Since this is the |
C:9.21 | it. All of your behavior and even your fantasies testify that you | believe an absence of cold makes for warmth. That the absence of |
C:9.23 | feel lacking and so you want. You want and want and want. You truly | believe you do not have what you need, and so make yourself |
C:9.35 | this forgiveness, as there is no truth to this big change that you | believe you have undergone, your desire to be forgiven is a first |
C:9.38 | it. You have forgotten that only you can be accomplished. You | believe that by putting various parts together a whole can be |
C:10.6 | it whispers constantly in your ear, the lie that it would have you | believe makes all else you would learn here as impossible as this. |
C:10.8 | but a fact,” all you need tell yourself is, “I am still willing to | believe otherwise.” |
C:10.10 | Again but state your willingness. A willingness to | believe that you have everything you need despite the “fact” that it |
C:10.11 | stages of your learning, you will be tempted to play a game of make | believe. You will not believe that you are not your body, but you |
C:10.11 | you will be tempted to play a game of make believe. You will not | believe that you are not your body, but you would make believe that |
C:10.11 | You will not believe that you are not your body, but you would make | believe that you are not. You may then be tempted to believe that |
C:10.11 | you would make believe that you are not. You may then be tempted to | believe that because you are pretending you are not a body, you can |
C:10.12 | and bones. Belief is not your problem. Understanding is. While you | believe in God, you do not understand God. While you believe in me, |
C:10.12 | is. While you believe in God, you do not understand God. While you | believe in me, you do not understand how these words have come from |
C:10.12 | you do not understand how these words have come from me. While you | believe in heaven and an afterlife, you do not understand what or |
C:10.12 | an afterlife, you do not understand what or where they are. And to | believe in something that you do not understand makes you feel |
C:10.12 | feel peculiar at the least and delusional at the worst. You want to | believe and so you believe. But you also want to be “right” about |
C:10.12 | least and delusional at the worst. You want to believe and so you | believe. But you also want to be “right” about what you believe. The |
C:10.12 | and so you believe. But you also want to be “right” about what you | believe. The convenient thing about your belief in God, in me, in |
C:10.13 | being separate, however. The only thing you find really difficult to | believe is that you are in union with your brothers and sisters, |
C:10.13 | are in union with your brothers and sisters, right now, today. To | believe in God without understanding God is one thing. To believe in |
C:10.13 | today. To believe in God without understanding God is one thing. To | believe in your union with your neighbor without understanding either |
C:10.13 | not necessarily bring you comfort or do you no harm. What if you | believe in the goodness of your neighbor and that belief is |
C:10.14 | your heart when you consider giving up your belief in the body. To | believe you are not your body while you walk around within it is |
C:10.15 | here to teach you once again because I was the example life. Do you | believe that when I walked the earth I was a body, or do you believe |
C:10.15 | Do you believe that when I walked the earth I was a body, or do you | believe that I was the Son of God before I was born into human form, |
C:10.16 | it is illusion because you have no need of tools. But while you | believe you do, it is quite real to you. To give up the body entirely |
C:11.12 | is powerful as it is part, but only part, of what has allowed you to | believe in your separated state. While you could have used your free |
C:12.1 | you would say, “A new discovery has been found and I am willing to | believe it may be true, especially if others are also going to |
C:12.1 | to believe it may be true, especially if others are also going to | believe it to be true.” |
C:12.3 | and to believing you have already tried and failed. For all of you | believe that you have tried this idea called love, and all of you |
C:12.3 | believe that you have tried this idea called love, and all of you | believe you have evidence that it is not the answer at all. What is |
C:12.12 | too, seem to have remained the same for countless ages. Perhaps you | believe that long ago you evolved from a form different than that |
C:12.23 | Separation is painful only to those who | believe it can occur in truth. What would a child’s rejection or a |
C:12.23 | a child’s rejection or a parent’s death mean to those who did not | believe in separation? Do you believe that God believes in |
C:12.23 | death mean to those who did not believe in separation? Do you | believe that God believes in separation? He knows it not, and because |
C:12.24 | of what cannot truly be personified. You find it hard to | believe Creation itself can be benevolent and kind, or just another |
C:13.6 | this new evidence is to trust in your own heart. Are you willing to | believe what your heart would tell you? |
C:14.6 | the senselessness of a creator and a creation such as this and still | believe in it, then you must believe in a god who is insane. You— |
C:14.6 | and a creation such as this and still believe in it, then you must | believe in a god who is insane. You—who pride yourself on reason |
C:14.6 | such as this could contain any reason whatsoever. Why then do you | believe in it? |
C:14.7 | at all? Those who have turned their backs on God and refused to | believe in such nonsense have simply refused to make reason try to |
C:14.8 | You are not asked to | believe the unbelievable, or to disregard all that reason would say |
C:14.16 | This universe is yourself and you are everything in it. Do you not | believe that were you to perish something quite unique would be lost |
C:14.21 | those who would admit to fear, and those who would not, would still | believe that love exists despite fear’s claim upon it, and think that |
C:15.4 | can see that this desire can wreak havoc; but still you would not | believe that your own desire for specialness or to make another |
C:16.5 | a body condemned to death is what judgment does to all of you who | believe that what is the same can be made different. This is as true |
C:16.6 | you choose to see. Your choice lies with God or with the self you | believe you have succeeded in separating from Him, and based on this |
C:16.10 | that reason does not oppose love, as your split mind would have you | believe it does. For your split mind judges even love and opposes it |
C:16.14 | cannot guarantee your safety against everything all of the time, you | believe you can guarantee your safety against some things some of the |
C:16.15 | While you claim you need proof before you can | believe or accept something as a fact or as the truth, and certainly |
C:16.15 | truth, and certainly before you can act upon it, you live as if you | believe that what has never worked before will somehow miraculously |
C:16.16 | proves anything, it proves the opposite of what you would care to | believe. The more the individual, society, and culture indulge in the |
C:16.19 | evil does not abolish it, but only makes it real to you. Yet you | believe judgment to be based on justice, and justice to include the |
C:16.20 | that is known to many of you, and even those who know the saying not | believe in the tenets it represents. This, you will claim, you have |
C:17.6 | even those of you who would listen to what the experts have to say | believe this not. |
C:17.10 | the impossible has become possible. If you were not so determined to | believe correction cannot be made, correction would have occurred. |
C:17.11 | of criminals as well as of your own self and those you love? You | believe mistakes must be paid for, not once but many times, and no |
C:17.12 | belief in sin and the irreversibility of all errors. If you do not | believe you can reverse or “turn back” to the state in which you |
C:18.1 | Many of you | believe God’s creation included the fall from paradise as described |
C:18.9 | to learn what the idea of separation would teach you, you needed to | believe that you existed in a separated state. Thus, “forgetting” |
C:18.10 | of your perception of yourself and the limited range of power you | believe your decision making to have. The only way to make the |
C:19.5 | itself, that sounds like fiction. You are not, however, expected to | believe all I have told you on faith alone. Experience is needed to |
C:19.15 | are willing to exchange experience for second-hand knowledge and to | believe you can come to know through the experiences of others. Yet, |
C:19.17 | view those who worship many gods as primitive, although those who | believe in a god synonymous with creation are closer to a true |
C:19.18 | you are beginning to shed the concept of the separate self and to | believe in the possibility of response, you will find yourself more |
C:20.14 | I am alive and you do | believe this or you would not be here. Yet you think not of me living |
C:20.40 | It is your belief that this is not so that causes judgment. All who | believe they have “more” fall prey to righteousness. All who believe |
C:20.40 | All who believe they have “more” fall prey to righteousness. All who | believe they have “less” fall victim to envy. Both “fall” from grace |
C:20.43 | To | believe in your perfection and the equality of your gifts is peaceful |
C:20.46 | have reacted with resistance. You must replace your willingness to | believe in your inadequacy and smallness with your willingness to |
C:20.46 | to believe in your inadequacy and smallness with your willingness to | believe in your ability and mightiness. Remember not your ego |
C:20.47 | Your personal concerns are concerns you have been taught to | believe you have. They are small concerns and they are among the |
C:22.7 | life, where you experience those things that cause you to feel or | believe in a certain way—and it is at this point of intersection |
C:23.2 | your remaining fears about the loss of your individuality that you | believe will accompany the loss of your separated self. For, as each |
C:23.12 | If form is an extension of belief you can see why what you | believe is critical to how you live with form. We are speaking here |
C:23.16 | by the miracle. Form is not a constant but a result. While you | believe that belief is the result of form, it is not. Form is the |
C:23.17 | History has shown you that what you | believe is possible becomes possible. Science has proven the link |
C:23.17 | researcher and research findings. Still you find it difficult to | believe that what is possible depends upon what you can imagine being |
C:25.9 | life day after day and year after year until you realize and truly | believe the basic tenets this Course has put forward. |
C:25.10 | are here and your entitlement to be fully present here. If you still | believe you are here to acquire some perceived ideal separated state, |

C:25.10 | here to realize unity, then all action will be in harmony. If you | believe you and your brothers and sisters are here in a state of |

C:25.10 | here in a state of grace, then all action will be in harmony. If you | believe one living thing is more important than any other, then all |

C:25.12 | the universe is to believe that you have no need for struggle, to | believe you have no lack, to believe in your state of grace. While |
C:25.12 | that you have no need for struggle, to believe you have no lack, to | believe in your state of grace. While you believe even one person is |
C:25.12 | you have no lack, to believe in your state of grace. While you | believe even one person is against you, you are not in concert with |
C:25.12 | person is against you, you are not in concert with God. While you | believe fate works against you, you are not in concert with the |
C:25.13 | or disillusion, every attack and every hurt, a person you | believe acted toward you without love. While you believe feelings of |
C:25.13 | hurt, a person you believe acted toward you without love. While you | believe feelings of lack of love come from anywhere but within, you |
C:26.1 | feel when anyone dies young. You each have some notion of what you | believe a full life to be. For some of you it would include marriage |
C:26.10 | struggle and your striving. You find it almost impossible still to | believe effort is not called for—that what your heart but wishes |
C:26.25 | next. This is, in effect, your attempt to control what you do not | believe you created, and what you feel deprived of creating. As a |
C:28.3 | personal and universal, this is the source of all proof. And so you | believe coming together to share common testimony validates the proof |
C:28.3 | shared beliefs amass, like a congregation around a pulpit, and even | believe in a theory of mass that purports that when a certain |
C:28.10 | is seen and felt as a reward, a prize, a confirmation that you | believe allows your conviction to grow. Because you believe it, this |
C:28.10 | that you believe allows your conviction to grow. Because you | believe it, this is, at first, quite true. But now it is no longer |
C:29.17 | of existence and cannot be changed and has not changed, although you | believe it not. It is a joyful relationship, as the nature of |
C:30.11 | without loss. You will never be aware of gain without loss while you | believe in what is finite in nature. The cycle of giving and |
C:31.1 | Mind, just as there is only one Will. This you are afraid of, as you | believe this statement threatens your independence, something you |
C:31.8 | is something that the Earth and all on the Earth are part of. You | believe fully that you are inseparable from the Earth, the cosmos, |
C:31.8 | the cosmos, gravity, the laws that rule the universe, just as you | believe your brain and, erroneously, your mind, is inseparable from |
C:31.9 | yet you allow yourself to resist the whole idea of God because you | believe that what is one cannot also be many. |
C:31.13 | cannot be split and must be total to be at all. Thus while you | believe you are devoted to the thoughts of a split mind you are |
C:31.16 | that you let decide upon your truth. For what you live is what you | believe is the truth about yourself. While you continue to live |
C:31.18 | go and getting rid of that which you do not want. Some of you | believe this can be done and others don’t. Those who believe in it |
C:31.18 | Some of you believe this can be done and others don’t. Those who | believe in it believe in sin, and that it can be replaced by |
C:31.18 | believe this can be done and others don’t. Those who believe in it | believe in sin, and that it can be replaced by forgiveness. Those who |
C:31.18 | in sin, and that it can be replaced by forgiveness. Those who do not | believe in it do not believe that sin can be forgiven and do not seek |
C:31.18 | be replaced by forgiveness. Those who do not believe in it do not | believe that sin can be forgiven and do not seek forgiveness, |
C:31.18 | forgiveness is something that they do not deserve. Few truly | believe in atonement or undoing. Few truly believe there is no sin. |
C:31.18 | do not deserve. Few truly believe in atonement or undoing. Few truly | believe there is no sin. Few truly believe that they are not the sum |
C:31.18 | atonement or undoing. Few truly believe there is no sin. Few truly | believe that they are not the sum of their behaviors. How, then, is |
C:31.30 | specific. You are looking for a friend, a spouse, a mentor. You | believe you are seeking something other than you to complete |
C:32.5 | them to you transformed by Love. Do not grieve your thoughts or | believe in loss of anything of any kind. Thus will all you have |
T1:1.1 | for what they already know how to find or for what they already | believe they possess. |
T1:1.5 | and truth. This is a simple act of recognizing meaning. All that you | believe you learned from illusion will have no meaning to you now and |
T1:3.1 | other words they will relate to the re-experiencing of all that you | believe has shaped your life. These opportunities are but the |
T1:3.23 | Proof of nothing and easily discounted and explained away. Surely to | believe that where one miracle worked another might be possible would |
T1:4.18 | A response is an expression of who you are rather than of what you | believe something else to be. |
T1:5.11 | dictated by the ego-mind, and this experience is all that makes you | believe you are other than who you are. Thus the abolishing of the |
T1:8.11 | forth of the new through union with the divine Self. Whether you | believe the virgin birth was reality or myth matters not as myth and |
T1:10.8 | of God. There is no other peace. There is no other God. Whether you | believe it now or not, I assure you, within the Peace of God is all |
T1:10.12 | What quiet knowing cannot come to you in peace? Why would you | believe you can learn from the turmoil of extremes what you cannot |
T2:1.3 | in the first sense is, first and foremost, something that you | believe exists and have defined as being of value. As this Treatise |
T2:1.4 | of returning to it, often turn away from internal treasures that you | believe, when realized, might feed the ego. Despite many observations |
T2:5.7 | the truth that giving and receiving are one, you will not fully | believe that needs are not lacks. Until you have fully integrated the |
T2:6.2 | time that govern your days and years but the rules of time that you | believe govern your days and years and that you thus allow to govern |
T2:6.5 | of treasure and you will understand what it is of which I speak. You | believe that your treasures only become accomplished abilities within |
T2:6.5 | your treasures only become accomplished abilities within time. You | believe that your treasures only become part of your identity when |
T2:6.5 | this trick of your mind has not worked. And yet, if you | believe that this trick of your mind has worked, you act as if you |
T2:6.5 | real to you. This “seems” quite real to you because of what you | believe. |
T2:6.9 | it for yourself. You must create it for yourself only because you | believe you replaced what was already accomplished with what you |
T2:7.4 | been so often defined and repeated within this Course. In order to | believe in giving and receiving as one, you must believe in |
T2:7.4 | Course. In order to believe in giving and receiving as one, you must | believe in relationship rather than in others. |
T2:7.6 | ego you will not understand giving and receiving as one and will not | believe in it. |
T2:7.7 | of your life. Each time another thwarts you, you will be tempted to | believe that giving and receiving as one is not taking place. Your |
T2:7.13 | cannot be independent and still be of service. For as long as you | believe in your independence you will not accept your dependence. You |
T2:7.14 | from being needy and dependent in an unhealthy way, is that you | believe in giving and receiving as one. You believe, in other words, |
T2:7.14 | way, is that you believe in giving and receiving as one. You | believe, in other words, that your needs will be provided for, thus |
T2:7.14 | you are a being with needs is not the aim of this Course. To come to | believe that your needs are provided for by a Creator and a creation |
T2:7.14 | for by a Creator and a creation that includes all “others” is to | believe in giving and receiving being one in truth. |
T2:9.4 | of their ability to meet them. When your needs cease being met, you | believe there has been a loss such as with the loss of a job or loved |
T2:9.4 | of the promise of some service. When you think in such a way you | believe in loss and gain rather than in the replacement belief that |
T2:9.12 | and unlearning cease to occur. The desire to maintain a state you | believe you have achieved and have labeled a state in which your |
T2:10.7 | While you are being told that you can no longer | believe that what you know is related to experience, you are not |
T2:10.15 | was said in the beginning, it is realized that it is hard for you to | believe that the Christ in you is in need of learning. Think a moment |
T2:11.15 | remain if you remain convinced that the ego is real. As long as you | believe that the ego is real, you will feel as if there are two |
T2:11.15 | to you within your world. This battle of good and evil, while you | believe in it still, will be demonstrated before you just as it has |
T2:12.5 | feel as if you do not understand miracles, you will be reluctant to | believe in them or to see yourself as a miracle worker. Your belief |
T2:12.5 | your belief in atonement or correction are the same thing. While you | believe there is anything other than your own thinking that is in |
T3:2.4 | necessary to thoroughly discuss the ego’s thought system. What you | believe about yourself is part of the foundation that has been built |
T3:2.8 | the self without this being so. In each, however, is the self you | believe is real revealed. Thus, not all that is called art is art, |
T3:2.11 | you to imagine being able to take steps “back” to the God you | believe you left in defiance, or the Self you believe you abandoned |
T3:2.11 | “back” to the God you believe you left in defiance, or the Self you | believe you abandoned there. Be truthful with yourself now and |
T3:2.11 | need to abandon your Self or God. Why should you be more inclined to | believe that you left a paradise in order to live a while in a form |
T3:2.12 | the cost. This discussion merely examined the reality you chose to | believe in, the reality of an ego-self, a self-concept seemingly |
T3:3.9 | still believes you are not good enough to be the “good” self you | believe this Course calls you to be. Most of you have now believed |
T3:6.5 | have denied the existence of, it is not evil but bitterness. You may | believe that bitterness is just another word, another label for the |
T3:7.2 | you are and who God is, we speak now of ideas or thoughts. If you | believe that God created you with a thought or idea, then you can |
T3:7.2 | or idea, then you can begin to see the power of thought. If you can | believe that you created the ego with a thought or an idea, you can |
T3:8.4 | personal self and the experience of the personal self. Whether you | believe the personal self is comprised of the one identity you now |
T3:8.5 | to suffer, a suffering for which you see no rationale. Those who | believe in past lives have also often adopted beliefs regarding |
T3:8.5 | in past lives have also often adopted beliefs regarding choice and | believe that choices for suffering were made for some greater good or |
T3:8.5 | to leave this idea behind. The choice that has been made is to | believe in a savior who could have, but did not, keep you from this |
T3:8.5 | this suffering. The choice that has not been made is the choice to | believe in the Christ-Self who is the only savior, rather than the |
T3:8.6 | What happens when you | believe the choice to suffer, as well as the choice to leave |
T3:8.8 | suffer and eventually die? Why should you not be bitter when you | believe you are powerless? How difficult it is to believe that you |
T3:8.8 | be bitter when you believe you are powerless? How difficult it is to | believe that you need not change the world but only your own self. |
T3:10.13 | a child and then learned and spoke English for many years, you might | believe your Spanish to be forgotten. However, if you were to return |
T3:11.1 | in the house of illusion are aware of the personal self alone and | believe the personal self to be who they are. Further, they believe |
T3:11.1 | and believe the personal self to be who they are. Further, they | believe the personal self to be the truth of the statement, “I am.” |
T3:13.4 | is important now as you will create the new according to what you | believe to be the truth and translate into ideas. |
T3:13.7 | practice today and every day by simply refusing the temptation to | believe in concepts such as earning and paying. How you implement |
T3:13.9 | As you say these words you will realize that you do | believe in them. You believe, but you cannot imagine the truth of |
T3:13.9 | say these words you will realize that you do believe in them. You | believe, but you cannot imagine the truth of these words really being |
T3:13.13 | physical, is the action of giving birth. Realize that you | believe in many things that did not originate with yourself. But it |
T3:13.13 | that you own those beliefs in terms of making them your beliefs. To | believe without forming your own ideas about your beliefs is to be in |
T3:14.2 | of the ego into the thought system of the truth, you will begin to | believe in such things as benevolence and abundance. What this means |
T3:15.5 | give oneself or another a new beginning, you often act “as if” you | believe a new beginning is possible, even while awaiting the lapse |
T3:19.14 | and miracles you have heard of in the past without being moved to | believe that they mean anything at all about the nature of who you |
T3:20.7 | You cannot imagine not offering sympathy. You think it naïve to | believe in positive outcomes. You listen to statistics of what has |
T3:20.7 | of what has occurred before and in similar situations, and you | believe in what the statistics would seem to tell you. You might |
T3:20.8 | the response of love to love. Why think you it is loving to | believe in suffering? Do you not begin to see that in so doing you |
T3:21.8 | This certainty is antithetical to you. You think that to | believe in one truth is to deny other truths. There is only one |
T3:21.17 | seem impossible. Even while your belief system has changed and you | believe that you exist in unity, all the things we have enumerated |
T3:21.17 | unless you are able to see them in a new light. No matter what you | believe, while you have a body that is different from all the rest, a |
T3:22.12 | what was for what will be without this tension. You do not yet | believe in what is. |
T3:22.13 | in the here and now that is and brings what is into existence. You | believe that what does not appear to exist with you in the here and |
T4:1.3 | will cause discomfort to many of you as you still find it hard to | believe in your own worthiness, and particularly in your own |
T4:1.6 | of the precedent of its use historically. Many different groups | believe they are the chosen people of God, or Buddha, or Muhammad. |
T4:1.6 | people of God, or Buddha, or Muhammad. Many of this generation | believe they are a chosen generation. Neither way of thinking is |
T4:1.13 | and the past, hinders your excitement. If what you are beginning to | believe might be possible is possible, and has been possible, are you |
T4:1.13 | come to be? Why has it not been known? What could possibly make you | believe it could come to be now when it didn’t come to be before? |
T4:2.8 | can be no judgment carried forward with you and when you continue to | believe in a process of evolution that has made you better than those |
T4:2.8 | who came before, you are carrying judgment. While you continue to | believe that being chosen means that some are not chosen, you are |
T4:2.8 | are not chosen, you are carrying judgment. While you continue to | believe that a final judgment will separate the good from the evil, |
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 time |
T4:2.23 | an impact on your life or on your part of the world. But unless you | believe in the ability for what happens to have an effect on you, you |
T4:2.29 | why you can still think of observance of what is as a game of make | believe and feel that you will have to trick yourself into believing |
T4:3.7 | to weigh love’s strength against fear’s veracity. While you chose to | believe and live in a world the nature of which was fear, you could |
T4:4.16 | is necessary to your awareness of Christ-consciousness. To | believe that you are mortal is to believe that you must die to the |
T4:4.16 | of Christ-consciousness. To believe that you are mortal is to | believe that you must die to the personal self of form in order to be |
T4:5.13 | At that time it is your judgment of yourself and your ability to | believe in the glory that is yours, that determines the way in which |
T4:6.3 | Those who | believe that only some will be chosen can create a scenario in which |
T4:6.3 | in which it appears that some are chosen and some are not. Those who | believe that life-everlasting includes life on other worlds can |
T4:10.1 | are now asked to be willing to give up the role of learner and to | believe that you will become comfortable and more in your new role as |
D:1.3 | are still for the personal self, a self whom you continue to | believe can fail to fulfill or live your mission and your purpose. |
D:2.11 | of what you have believed “works for you,” you will find that you | believe that each and every pattern will work in one instance and not |
D:2.17 | justice system is a good example, an example of a system which you | believe works most of the time, and are happy to use to acquire a |
D:4.6 | when shape and form was given to what you fear and what you | believe will protect you. |
D:4.11 | your heart, that you know that this is so. Either way, you may still | believe in a divine design without accepting that a divine design |
D:6.3 | already spoken of and speak of again as a revisioning of what you | believe imprisons you. |
D:6.19 | somewhat silly, but still you would cling to them because you would | believe the person of healthy habits has a greater chance of not |
D:6.20 | What is this thing called fate? Like all the systems you | believe in, it is a system too, an internal idea given a name, |
D:6.25 | came extended reasons for fear, and a physical form that you came to | believe needed greater and greater resources to maintain. |
D:10.2 | inspiration, instinct, intuition, vision, or calling. You may | believe that teaching and learning appropriately work with and enable |
D:11.5 | ground, still, of your individuality, your testimony that you | believe you are still on your own, and that you still desire to be, |
D:11.5 | to be, for only here, in this area of your individuality, do you | believe you make your contributions to the world. Your desire to make |
D:11.11 | To | believe that you are already accomplished and not live from this |
D:11.16 | Do you still | believe that the contribution made by the man Jesus was an individual |
D:12.1 | there is no mechanism through which thought can enter your mind. You | believe thoughts exist in your mind and are themselves the product of |
D:14.8 | this harmony and relationship isn’t realized or accepted is when you | believe you have need of planning rather than receiving, when you |
D:14.8 | believe you have need of planning rather than receiving, when you | believe you have cause for stress and effort rather than for just |
D:Day1.2 | belief, it is not prayer. I care not in what form of the truth you | believe, nor to what god you believe you send your prayers; although |
D:Day1.2 | care not in what form of the truth you believe, nor to what god you | believe you send your prayers; although if you do not believe in your |
D:Day1.2 | what god you believe you send your prayers; although if you do not | believe in your Self above a form of truth, and if you continue to |
D:Day1.5 | requirement asked of you here is not to exclude others in whom you | believe and have found a connection to eternal life, only to accept |
D:Day1.7 | this mountain peak and this dialogue that is occurring here. If you | believe this mountain peak is merely metaphorical, you will not |
D:Day1.7 | or that you have left behind the conditions of the initiate. If you | believe these are words of wisdom and that you can remain ambivalent |
D:Day1.10 | I have been trained, I understand the truth about outer space, I | believe in my abilities; but I do not accept the spacecraft as |
D:Day2.17 | the reasons you hesitate to fully accept me. It is hard for you to | believe that my suffering was symbolic of the end of yours when so |
D:Day2.17 | will add here the example of my resurrection. It is hard for you to | believe that my resurrection heralded eternal life when death has |
D:Day2.17 | all those who have lived since my time. It is difficult for you to | believe that by following me you will not walk in my footsteps. |
D:Day3.7 | You may | believe a spiritual context for your life can change your life, make |
D:Day3.7 | certain type, even extending to a new comfortableness of being. You | believe having a spiritual context for your life can, in other words, |
D:Day3.8 | You may | believe that having a spiritual context for your life will assist you |
D:Day3.8 | and possibly even assist you in finding some one to love. You may | believe that this spirituality can help mend a feeling of |
D:Day3.8 | guilty or bitter, shamed or rejected because of them. But you do not | believe this spiritual context is capable of bringing you the lack of |
D:Day3.9 | living abundantly will cause you to think, “I doubt it.” Or, “I’ll | believe it when I see it.” You might think spirituality can assist |
D:Day3.29 | secret of money, the secret of success: Answer truly if you really | believe this, or if you are merely covering over your fear of not |
D:Day3.47 | You still | believe the truth of the situation to be the reality of physical form |
D:Day3.56 | You do not | believe this, however, and the functions of denial, anger, |
D:Day3.56 | and, finally, to this acceptance. Acceptance first that you do not | believe. And then acceptance itself. |
D:Day4.40 | and matter? Or do you turn and look up where no form exists? Do you | believe you can choose the formless and still return to the towns and |
D:Day6.19 | and discovery cannot occur in a place set apart from “normal” life. | Believe me when I tell you that the elevation you are currently |
D:Day9.7 | you know you have not allowed yourself freedom of expression, you | believe you have allowed yourself freedom of thought. You believe you |
D:Day9.7 | you believe you have allowed yourself freedom of thought. You | believe you have allowed yourself freedom of feeling. And yet if the |
D:Day9.10 | It may have come from someone you have idolized, someone you | believe to be the spiritual titan you still but hope to be. Your |
D:Day9.20 | is not a cause for predetermination that we can proceed. For if you | believe that we are proceeding to some predetermined ideal state, we |
D:Day9.20 | will not succeed in the work we are doing here together. For if you | believe this, you will not accept your Self as you are. If you do not |
D:Day10.6 | of form, you will instinctively have greater trust in it. You will | believe it comes from a place “other than” or beyond the self of form |
D:Day10.14 | Because you | believe that your feelings have misled you in the past, you now still |
D:Day10.27 | review your ideas about the afterlife, a life in which most of you | believe peacefulness reigns and the spirit is free of the body. Yet |
D:Day32.12 | Yet to | believe that God is everyone can still make you feel as if you are |
D:Day32.13 | be endless, just as one could make an endless list of what they | believe differentiates God from man. The example lives in which the |
D:Day34.6 | This is your life and your experience of life. Now you must | believe that you are its creator and powerful in your relationship to |
D:Day37.2 | If you no longer | believe in God as a supreme and separate being, why should it be |
D:Day37.7 | and the image you hold of yourself has been inaccurate. Because you | believe you are separate, you created God as a particular and |
D:Day37.9 | on your idea of a separate and particular God is that you want to | believe that there is a compassionate being in charge of everything, |
D:Day37.14 | that power only in relationship to the separate reality in which you | believe yourself to exist. You have exercised that power by making |
D:Day37.14 | life just “happens” to you, and then responding to what happens. You | believe either that you are in complete control of your life, or that |
D:Day37.14 | life, or that God or fate have as much control as you do. You may | believe yourself, God, and fate to be benevolent, or you may believe |
D:Day37.14 | You may believe yourself, God, and fate to be benevolent, or you may | believe that everything, including yourself, works against you. You |
D:Day37.16 | thinking, creating, perceiving human being because this is what you | believe yourself to be. You may see yourself as a separate human |
D:Day37.16 | but a perceived relationship only—and only because you do not | believe that you can “know,” truly know, what you do in truth know. |
D:Day37.16 | what you do in truth know. You know that you know, but you do not | believe that you know, because you believe you are separate and so |
D:Day37.16 | that you know, but you do not believe that you know, because you | believe you are separate and so cannot know anything for certain save |

C:P.11 | you are abdicating love to fear. You are perhaps making this world a | better place but you are not abolishing it. In your acceptance of |
C:1.9 | another’s wisdom is the urge to find your own way and have it be a | better way. It is the urge not to trust the teacher in all things but |
C:2.19 | contentment offered by your learning. It can and does see itself as | better and stronger and more capable of worldly success. It would use |
C:4.10 | neighbor, 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 |
C:4.10 | has thrived on winners and on losers, on striving for and earning a | better place. The heart knows not these distinctions, and those who |
C:4.16 | You believe you can fall in love with the wrong person and make a | better choice based upon criteria more important than love. You thus |

C:10.9 | more awareness of yourself as a “good” person and one trying to be | better still, you will begin to look for your rewards. Later you will |
C:10.31 | will find you are too serious to play this game and that you have | better things to do. Yet as much as you resist, the idea has been |
C:13.10 | every kind of foolishness, a waste of time that could be spent on | better things. Yet time is not required, nor is money or the use of |
C:14.2 | the rest, and in this seeking proclaim that one part of creation is | better than another part. You thus seek to fragment creation as you |
C:16.16 | Your judgment has not made the world a | better place! If history proves anything, it proves the opposite of |
C:16.25 | in which you live, and so you think another must be able to do it | better. You no longer trust yourself with your own power, and so you |

T4:2.7 | that tells you that you or those of your kind or time are more or | better than any other is not speaking the truth. This is why we began |
T4:2.8 | cannot proceed to full awareness while ideas such as more and | better remain in you. As I have said before, this is not about |
T4:2.8 | you continue to believe in a process of evolution that has made you | better than those who came before, you are carrying judgment. While |
T4:2.11 | Being first does not mean being | better. That I was the first to demonstrate what you can be does not |
T4:2.11 | I was the first to demonstrate what you can be does not mean I am | better than you. Just as in your sporting events, a “first” is |

C:20.30 | of love is as unique as your Self. It is in the cooperation | between unique expressions of love that creation continues and |

C:29.24 | This is the great divide, the separation, | between the visible and the invisible, the indivisible and the |

T1:2.12 | All relationship is but relationship | between Creator and Created. The new means of thinking is referred to |
T1:2.12 | attention to the continual act of creation that is the relationship | between Creator and Created. Creation is but a dialogue to which you |
T1:4.20 | will concern you while you continue to not realize the difference | between response and interpretation. The only way for this concern to |
T1:5.7 | in fact be seen as the illusion of an in-between you have created | between all and nothing. This in-between place is your comfort zone |
T1:5.9 | in which you now exist seem real. I must make a distinction here, | between the seemingly real, and the aspect of your existence that is |
T1:7.6 | now of being human in a new way. We must reconcile the differences | between the human and divine. We must, in other words, speak of |
T1:8.7 | provide a path or example for you to follow? You must see the link | between resurrection and incarnation, the link between resurrection |

T2:2.9 | prevents you from being who you are is far broader than a division | between mind and heart. Some of you would say you feel no calling, or |
T2:3.1 | is and is reflected in the world you see. The only difference | between the life you are living and the life you want lies in your |
T2:3.2 | where your being resides, this is already accomplished. Your link | between the realm of unity and the realm of physicality is your |
T2:3.3 | exists where you think you are, thus providing the means for union | between where you think you are and where your being actually |
T2:3.4 | currently move through. Now you must fully recognize the distinction | between the ego-self that previously was the self of learning and |
T2:4.12 | to be, not with who you are. They do not recognize the difference | between thinking and knowing. |
T2:4.13 | of the air. You are asked to live a life where there is no division | between who you are and what you do. This place of no division is the |
T2:7.20 | as you know it. There is not a period of waiting or a period of time | between giving and receiving. There is not a time-lapse between the |
T2:7.20 | of time between giving and receiving. There is not a time-lapse | between the recognition of needs and the meeting of needs. It is |
T2:9.1 | is not present in all relationships. It is only the ego that stands | between desire and the meeting of desire, needs and the meeting of |
T2:11.11 | divine? These statements can only be true if there is no division | between you and relationship, if there is no division between the |
T2:11.11 | is no division between you and relationship, if there is no division | between the human and the divine. |
T2:11.15 | ways and forms. There will never actually be a battle going on | between Christ and the ego, but you will perceive that such battles |
T2:12.2 | and so your learning needed to include an ability to distinguish | between service and use. Service, or devotion, leads to harmony |
T2:12.9 | There, | between you and the “other” whom you have previously only perceived, |
T2:13.5 | of all form. It is an attitude of praise and thankfulness that flows | between us now. The light of heaven shines not down upon you but is |
T3:1.2 | While still a representation, there is a huge difference | between a true representation and a false representation. |
T3:1.5 | awareness of what is not the truth. While the ability to distinguish | between the true and the untrue has been repeatedly discussed as the |
T3:1.11 | self and a future self. The greatest distinction of all was that | between the private self and the public self, as if who you were to |
T3:2.10 | on the journey of truth. You stand in the transformational moment | between the unreal and the real. All you await is an idea, a |
T3:3.2 | These traits, whether you see them as good or bad or somewhere in | between are what you have seen as making you loveable or unlovable. |
T3:3.3 | control and long ago gave up trying. Most of you fall somewhere in | between, living a life full of good intentions and effort and being |
T3:6.5 | entered this holiest of places, this abode of Christ, this bridge | between the human and the divine. It exists not in some but in all, |
T3:8.1 | representations to the truth. Realize here the subtle difference | between a symbol that represents the truth, and the truth, for this |
T3:11.10 | precept of not judging by denying any right or wrong, the difference | between truth and illusion can no longer be denied. To realize the |
T3:11.10 | and illusion can no longer be denied. To realize the difference | between truth and illusion is not to call one right and the other |
T3:13.4 | not and to not see fear where it is. But your ability to distinguish | between love and fear as cause is all that is important now as you |
T3:13.14 | in relationship. Taking action on your ideas forms a relationship | between your physical form and your Self as your physical self |
T3:14.2 | Let me attempt to make the difference | between having a new thought system and living by a new thought |
T3:17.2 | other than itself, through this beginning of making distinctions | between the self and all other things in creation that existed with |
T3:17.2 | the observing. Now your science is proving to you the relationship | between the observer and the observed, the effect that one cannot |
T3:17.8 | of the Holy Spirit, or the time in which communication was needed | between the illusion and the truth, must end in order for the truth |
T3:19.13 | a benevolent universe than it once did because of the difference | between one reality and the other, a difference that couldn’t be seen |
T3:21.24 | must be further addressed and seen as it relates to the relationship | between the personal self and the Self; the truth and its |
T3:22.4 | been. There has always been within you, however, a creative tension | between accepting who you are and becoming who you want to be. This |
T3:22.12 | what I spoke of earlier as creative tension, the tension that exists | between accepting what is and desiring what will be. Linking the |
T3:22.12 | world in which you have lived, a world wherein a lag time exists | between what is and what will be. You may have, upon reading those |
T3:22.15 | but also as a product of distrust. It was a tension that existed | between desire and accomplishment, the tension that told you that you |
T4:1.4 | Choosing implies relationship. Just as there are answers to choose | between on a test, some of them correct and some of them incorrect, |
T4:1.11 | and God indirectly. These are the only two choices, the choices | between truth and illusion, fear and love, unity and separation, now |
T4:1.17 | The difference | between this time and the time that has but seemed to have gone |
T4:1.17 | seemed to have gone before has already been stated as the difference | between the time of the Holy Spirit and the time of Christ. This has |
T4:1.17 | the time of Christ. This has also been restated as the difference | between the time of learning through contrast and the time of |
T4:1.17 | through observation. It is further stated here as the difference | between learning by contrast and indirect communication and learning |
T4:1.20 | of the truth by seeing what you have perceived as the contrast | between good and evil. |
T4:1.23 | advantageous to have once been so clearly able to see the contrast | between good and evil and feel now as if these distinctions have |
T4:1.23 | for a return to days not long past, days during which distinctions | between right and wrong did seem to be more certain. But the very |
T4:2.4 | to provide an intermediary, for this is what was desired, a bridge | between the human or forgotten self and the divine or remembered |
T4:2.25 | point of what I have revealed to you. A new relationship now exists | between the physical and spiritual. It is not an indirect |
T4:4.3 | has reached a state of growth known as over-population, this balance | between old generations and new seems necessary and even crucial. One |
T4:4.14 | Because there was no relationship save that of intermediaries | between the human and the divine, there was no choice but to end the |
T4:7.5 | free of fear and judgment. This is all that makes up the difference | between your natural state and your unnatural state. As your natural |
T4:8.11 | freedom through the most extreme of measures—this is what happened | between you and God. |
T4:11.5 | here and what I reveal to you must be regarded as the equal sharing | between brothers and sisters in Christ, the sharing of fellow |
D:1.20 | matter who is first to hear the music? This is, in truth, a dialogue | between me and you. Wish not that the “way” of the transcriber of |
D:3.5 | self but that is no longer necessary. The mending of the rift | between heart and mind returned you to your Self. In the same way, |
D:3.18 | This is not meant to convey any division | between the Self and the elevated Self of form, but to demonstrate |
D:3.18 | Self of form, but to demonstrate that there is a difference in form | between the Self and the elevated Self of form. The Self was and will |
D:3.19 | It is this difference that exists | between the Self and the elevated Self of form that makes of us |
D:3.19 | the major things we will be seeing as we proceed is the difference | between form and content and the difference in the way separate forms |
D:4.1 | This Covenant is the fulfillment of the agreement | between you and God. The agreement is for you to be the new. As you |
D:5.1 | intuitive way. It was also about the minor distortions that occurred | between this non-cognitive memory and how you acted upon it, |
D:5.3 | in “A Treatise on the Personal Self”, there is a huge difference | between a true representation and a false representation. While the |
D:5.4 | in all that encompasses and surrounds you, the boundaries | between the inner and outer world will diminish and eventually cease |
D:5.13 | as the ego has ceased to be. To outline and define the differences | between what was created and what was made would be to create a tome |
D:6.6 | living. It exists as living form. And so we begin with a distinction | between what exists as living form, and what exists as inanimate or |
D:7.6 | Action is the bridge | between form and the formless because action is the expression of the |
D:7.6 | one, or in other words from the state in which there is no division | between who you are and what you do. “Right” action comes from the |
D:8.8 | taught in “A Treatise on the Nature of Unity and Its Recognition”. | Between the Course and the Treatises, all of what you needed to learn |
D:10.5 | is given from unity. It is in that relationship, the relationship | between what is and the expression of what is by the elevated Self of |
D:12.4 | a dialogue. A dialogue is most often thought of as a discourse | between two or more people and as such is associated with the spoken |
D:12.9 | might make this a simpler subject to discuss by making a distinction | between thinking and thought. This distinction, while it will not be |
D:13.1 | truth and then discover that you were wrong. You know the difference | between certainty and uncertainty and are far more likely to err, |
D:15.17 | thought of as a lasting measure, which is the primary difference | between the idea of maintenance and the idea of sustenance. |
D:16.9 | The difference | between the way that is and what is lies in choice. While you think |
D:16.13 | are in the process of becoming. This time of becoming is the time in | between your awareness of and access to Christ-consciousness or |
D:16.15 | the state of becoming is to realize that an in-between exists | between the time of learning and the time of being the elevated Self |
D:Day1.6 | while the ego was your guide. You were required to make a choice | between the thought system of the ego and the thought system of |
D:Day2.2 | your life, unlearned previous patterns, and now see the difference | between the image you hold of yourself and your present Self. But |
D:Day3.9 | are likely to become more and more agitated, to go back and forth | between the general and specific, thinking of both your own lack in |
D:Day3.35 | the time of the Holy Spirit, the time of a need for an intermediary | between yourself and God, is gone. You have been invited to know God |
D:Day3.36 | is no longer the way for good reason. It exemplifies the difference | between information and wisdom, between finding an answer and finding |
D:Day3.36 | It exemplifies the difference between information and wisdom, | between finding an answer and finding a way or path. Many have read |
D:Day3.55 | This if is all that stands | between you and abundance. |
D:Day4.40 | two choices? From where else could you so clearly see the choice | between form and the formless? |
D:Day4.41 | ask, of the elevated Self of form? Why is this suddenly a choice | between one or the other? It is the first choice of the new |
D:Day5.11 | There would seem to be one major difference | between unity and love and that difference would seem to be love’s |
D:Day5.22 | cause for such effort. Effort is only a layer of defense, a stop gap | between what you would receive and what you would give in which the |
D:Day6.1 | being the true Self while becoming the true Self—the time in | between your awareness of and access to Christ-consciousness, or |
D:Day6.1 | the state of becoming is to realize that an in-between exists | between the time of learning and the time of being the elevated Self |
D:Day6.4 | Since we have often discussed the similarity | between the creation of art and the work we are doing here, we will |
D:Day6.4 | intersection, and pass-through. Can you see the similarities | between these actions despite the difference in language used? |
D:Day6.8 | includes a choice. At some point along the way a commitment is made | between the artist and the piece of art. A commitment to see it |
D:Day6.11 | committed to completion of the becoming that will create oneness | between Creator and created. You have developed the creative |

D:Day6.14 | is almost surely a desire to focus on the relationship developing | between us, and a corresponding desire not to have to focus on the |
D:Day10.2 | To rely on your own power is to rely on the connection that exists | between the self of form and the Self of union and to, through this |
D:Day10.3 | aware of this difference, just as I made you aware of the difference | between the states of maintenance and sustainability. As with the |
D:Day10.9 | flashes of insight—intuition that causes you to make connections | between point A and point B, be point A and point B distinct points |
D:Day10.9 | points in a scientific puzzle or murky points about relationships | between lovers. |
D:Day10.15 | Pause a moment here and consider our need for a distinction | between the certainty you feel from unity and the confidence you need |
D:Day10.18 | You have “learned” the distinction | between Christ-consciousness and the man Jesus. You have “learned” |
D:Day10.18 | and the man Jesus. You have “learned” the distinction | between your Self and the man or woman you are. Now you are called to |
D:Day12.8 | the space that is free and open to joining. There is no boundary | between space and space. There are only perceived boundaries. When a |

D:Day15.7 | The difference | between simply bringing spirit into form and making spirit known |
D:Day15.10 | and is informed. In other words, in union there is no distinction | between the Self and the creative force of the universe, the animator |
D:Day15.11 | to realize their oneness with it. While there is division remaining | between the self and the spacious Self, the self and the creative |
D:Day17.1 | and the divine into observable form. Thus there must be a difference | between life-consciousness and Christ-consciousness, since you have |
D:Day19.2 | The key here is discernment | between true contentment and denial. Although this is overly |

D:Day22.1 | you realize that all of life is a channel. There is a big difference | between seeing a teacher as a channel, all of life as a channel, and |
D:Day22.2 | intermediary function. The channeler was perhaps seen as a mediator | between the living and the dead or the world of spirit and the world |
D:Day22.2 | the example used was also an intermediary with the separation being | between the known and the unknown. Thus, a channel could be seen as |
D:Day27.12 | from wholeness can be seen much as the degree of separation | between hot and cold. If you were to perceive of wholeness as an |
D:Day28.1 | At one time there seemed to be little or no choice | between staying engaged in an externally directed life and removing |
D:Day28.1 | choices available would be to put off coming to know the difference | between externally and internally directed life experiences. |
D:Day29.4 | This is no more complicated than ending the rift | between mind and heart. You have accomplished that and you can |
D:Day29.7 | to find a place in which it could become the common denominator | between wholeness and separation. Once you experience yourself in |
D:Day32.20 | limited relationship, you have limited power. This is the difference | between God and man. This difference, however, can be diminished as |
D:Day34.2 | all and nothing are the same. In relationship, the difference | between all and nothing is everything. So too is it with creation and |
D:Day34.2 | and destruction are the same. In relationship, the difference | between creation and destruction is everything. |
D:Day35.18 | it is what you have made. You will only fully realize the difference | between what you have made and what you can create when you have |
D:Day35.19 | are a creator, you could, however, not create. The word distinction | between made and create thus does not fully do justice to the power |
D:Day36.3 | write an autobiography describing every experience you encountered | between your earliest memory and the present moment and it would say |
D:Day36.8 | create a new reality—a new world? Can you not see the difference | between creating as a separate self in response to a “given” set of |
D:Day36.10 | here is all the difference in the world. It is the difference | between all and nothing in relationship to one another. Recall the |
D:Day36.10 | one another. Recall the example used earlier. There is no difference | between all and nothing without relationship. In relationship, the |
D:Day36.10 | nothing. But just as with all and nothing, there was no difference | between your being and God’s being without relationship. You could |
D:Day36.11 | There is only difference | between your being and God in relationship. This is the example that |
D:Day36.12 | your state of being. You have just kept being, kept making choices | between one illusion and another in your separate reality. A separate |
D:Day37.16 | with a deceased relative in that you feel a bond, a link | between heaven and earth, and even some possibility of communication |
D:Day37.16 | experiential means. But this is still a relationship in separation— | between your separate self and the separate and now dead self of the |
D:Day37.26 | The only real difference that exists or has ever existed | between God and man is that man sees difference in a way that makes |
D:Day38.11 | There is a subtle and loving difference | between I Am and who I Am. Who is an acknowledgment of individuated |
D:Day39.6 | This is what makes it a true revelation. Because true revelation is | between you and me. |

D:Day39.8 | “buffer” nature of all that is intermediary. An intermediary stands | between as well as links. It is a totally unnecessary requirement in |

D:Day39.12 | between one thing and another. In this instance it is the connection | between two individuated beings in union and relationship. You and |
D:Day39.15 | What must occur now must occur | between you and me. Your willingness is all that is required. |

D:Day39.38 | being. Between the one being of love and the many beings of form, | between love’s extension and form’s projection. |
D:Day39.40 | All of these aspects of what stand | between are also an aspect of the Christ in you. |
D:Day39.46 | They are your bridge to yourself. You will also be the bridge | between war and peace, sadness and joy, evil and good, sickness and |

D:Day40.7 | I became I Am there also became all I am not, the Christ connection | between all I Am and all I am not, and an I Am, called the son, who |
D:Day40.14 | The difference | between you and me is that I am being God and also love, being. This |
D:Day40.22 | with love. This is why individuation has become the conflict | between, or the tension of, opposites. Because you have relationship |
E.5 | fully back into your life, you will realize where the differences | between this natural Self and your former self lie. You will realize |
E.16 | it. You have taken the step of accepting the relationship of the | between, the relationship of Christ, into your own being. The |
E.20 | to realize and make real this difference. It is a difference | between becoming and being. It is all the difference in the world. It |

T2:10.8 | Just | beyond your mind’s ability to call it forth lies the truth that you |

T2:12.6 | goal in relation to the miracle is the same—it is one of going | beyond belief in the miracle to simply knowing. Knowing is knowing |
T2:13.5 | of the state of grace in which you exist here and remain forever | beyond all time and the passing of all form. It is an attitude of |
T3:1.12 | because I accomplished this, both in life and in all time and time | beyond time, making you, along with me, the accomplished. As has |

T3:8.1 | representations to meaning so that what you represent will move | beyond representations to the truth. Realize here the subtle |
T3:9.3 | doors of this house of illusion and finding a completely new reality | beyond its walls. You might think, at first, that you are in a place |
T3:9.4 | contains everything within its benevolent embrace. No one stands | beyond the embrace of love and you will be glad to see that those who |
T3:9.5 | you, is past. Many remain to shake the walls of illusion. Few stand | beyond it to beckon to those within. |
T3:9.6 | The paradise that is the truth seems to lie far | beyond the house of illusion in the valley of death. Survivors of |
T3:9.6 | long for life after death rather than life. You who have followed me | beyond the walls of the house of illusion are now called to begin the |

D:4.12 | of the human brain, a divine pattern is evident and should not be | beyond your belief. Despite the differences in what you see, think, |
D:5.15 | is the acceptance of the new you—acceptance that you are going | beyond simple recognition and acceptance of the Self as God created |
D:6.20 | all that cannot be made to make sense, all that seems unfair and | beyond your control. |
D:7.18 | is of God. Observation, vision, and desire are steps leading you | beyond what the individual, separated self sees, to the revelation of |
D:7.26 | you begin to imagine the “more” that you are, the “more” that exists | beyond the body’s boundary and beyond the boundary of time and |
D:7.26 | that you are, the “more” that exists beyond the body’s boundary and | beyond the boundary of time and particularity. |
D:8.5 | as an idea is to imagine this “given” Self as the Self that exists | beyond the boundary we have described as the dot of the body. |
D:8.7 | While discovery of the new will naturally include much that goes | beyond what you now think of as your natural talents or abilities, |
D:8.7 | that you have an already existing awareness of the Source of unity | beyond the body will increase your comfort level, and will help |

D:9.10 | Just as the “Art of Thought” led to abilities | beyond the thinking of the ego-mind, the beliefs of the “Treatise on |

D:9.10 | for beliefs, and “A Treatise on the Personal Self” meant to lead | beyond the personal self. Thus the Treatises were not inconsistent |
D:9.10 | our aims here. Learning always has as its goal leading the learner | beyond learning. With “A Treatise on the New” we established what |
D:9.10 | learning. With “A Treatise on the New” we established what lies | beyond learning. Now, as we embrace the new together, it must be |
D:9.14 | of new ideas are discoveries of something that already existed | beyond the dot of the body; and if you accept that these ideas that |

D:17.10 | of the initiate. You have now passed hope by as you have moved | beyond the state of initiation. You are no longer hopeful for what |
D:17.13 | now is that your wholeheartedness, as well as your desire, has moved | beyond the pattern of thought. |
D:17.19 | of desire and fulfillment is what occurs at the threshold. | Beyond the threshold is the state in which desire has passed and been |
D:17.19 | it has been stated, is due nothing and no one but God. To move | beyond desire to reverence is to move into the state of communion |
D:Day1.1 | of you of the Christian faith. To others it will seem an acceptance | beyond your ability, an acceptance that there is no real cause to |
D:Day1.6 | Now that you have moved | beyond the thought system of the ego self, you look back on it and |

C:P.10 | To stop before this is accomplished when it is in reach is every | bit as insane as belief in the ego. Ask yourself what it is that |
C:P.20 | your brothers and sisters. You prefer to think a good deed here, a | bit of charity there, is more important. You prefer to give up on |
C:P.42 | you seem then to have not advanced or to have advanced only a little | bit, when your willingness is mighty? Only because you have not |
C:7.11 | dozens or even hundreds of times a day. An unreturned phone call, a | bit of traffic, a harsh word spoken, an unremembered errand—all can |
C:10.31 | You will find quite a | bit of resistance to this experiment. You will find you are too |
C:13.3 | exercise at that time. If you give this exercise just the tiniest | bit of consistent practice, however, it will soon become routine to |
C:19.19 | darkest chaos of your mind comes the possibility of light. It is a | bit like traveling backward, or the review of life that some |
C:25.25 | is seen as synonymous with a full life. We must, therefore, speak a | bit of what a full life is. |
T2:1.14 | It is an elementary step and one easily accomplished with but a | bit of willingness. This change in thinking in regards to treasures |
T2:9.15 | Because you have not thought previously of needs as tools every | bit as valuable as the others mentioned here, this adjustment in your |
T4:12.19 | of learning instead of sharing in unity in order to realize some | bit of knowledge that you feel is necessary before you can go on. But |
D:Day3.4 | to learning through the heart. Many of you will admit to growing a | bit angry with the beginning of this Course and its challenge to your |
D:Day3.23 | this position, it is quick to come. As soon as you get just a little | bit ahead, a need arises. The roof leaks, the car breaks down, and an |
D:Day4.35 | might think that if you stretch your idea of reality just a little | bit farther, stretch your mind just a little beyond where it is |
D:Day8.1 | Some of you have felt, once again, a | bit of disappointment or resignation as a result of our dialogue |

T3:8.8 | but to try and fail is too heartbreaking. Why should you not be | bitter when you and all of those you love will surely suffer and |
T3:8.8 | love will surely suffer and eventually die? Why should you not be | bitter when you believe you are powerless? How difficult it is to |

C:28.12 | At the thought of this you will be aghast and, what is more, | bitterly disappointed. Again, as in the beginning, you seek a task to |

C:I.11 | in wholeheartedness we are the heaven of the world. We replace | bitterness with sweetness. We dwell in the reality of the One Heart, |

C:20.36 | Bitterness and uncertainty are replaced by hope. Hope is the | |
T3:6.3 | instance and reward given in another, is the cause of much of the | bitterness that exists within your hearts. |
T3:6.4 | who have read this far and learned this much may not be those whose | bitterness is mighty and held tightly to themselves, bitterness must |
T3:6.4 | be those whose bitterness is mighty and held tightly to themselves, | bitterness must still be discussed. While bitterness remains, |
T3:6.4 | tightly to themselves, bitterness must still be discussed. While | bitterness remains, vengeance will remain. You have been shown that |
T3:6.4 | very existence. This blame is as old as time itself and the cause of | bitterness being able to exist, even within your hearts. |
T3:6.5 | While the untrue cannot exist with the true, what I am calling here | bitterness is all that you have forced, through sheer strength of |
T3:6.5 | sheer strength of will, to pierce the holiness of your hearts. | Bitterness and the idea of vengeance go hand-in-hand. This is the |
T3:6.5 | of evil which I have denied the existence of, it is not evil but | bitterness. You may believe that bitterness is just another word, |
T3:6.5 | existence of, it is not evil but bitterness. You may believe that | bitterness is just another word, another label for the evil you have |
T3:6.5 | fallacy that it rivals only the ego in its destructive potential. | Bitterness is to your heart what the ego has been to your mind. It is |
T3:6.6 | Bitterness, as the word implies, is something taken into the self, | |
T3:6.6 | but I assure you that you are not unclean and that none can cleanse | bitterness from the heart without your choice. The time of tenderness |
T3:6.6 | without your choice. The time of tenderness began your release of | bitterness and made you ready for this choice. Choose now to leave |
T3:6.6 | to leave your desire for reward, as well as all of your reasons for | bitterness, and bitterness itself behind. Bring bitterness no longer |

T3:8.3 | ever once talked of an idea as crucial as that of bitterness. This | bitterness has been a source of resistance as strong as that of the |
T3:8.3 | as strong as that of the ego and more deeply felt. As I have said, | bitterness is to your heart what the ego has been to your mind. Thus |
T3:8.3 | bitterness is to your heart what the ego has been to your mind. Thus | bitterness has to do with your feelings more so than your thoughts. |
T3:8.3 | as building blocks for its thought system. As long as you carry this | bitterness within you, you will remain in the house of illusion for |
T3:8.4 | at this moment it may be hard for you to conceive of the idea of | bitterness as something that you are attached to, I want you to think |
T3:8.4 | to, I want you to think of attachments for a time and see how | bitterness does indeed fit into this category. Bitterness is an idea |
T3:8.4 | a time and see how bitterness does indeed fit into this category. | Bitterness is an idea intrinsically tied to the personal self and the |
T3:8.4 | that of those who came before it. These beliefs hold the seeds of | bitterness, the angst you feel towards God and brothers and sisters |
T3:8.7 | not because of the suffering that seems to make no sense of love. | Bitterness is the cause of this inability to make a new choice and |
T3:8.8 | Remaining attached to | bitterness is a reflection of the belief that one person, and surely |
T3:14.11 | on to blame. If you are holding onto blame you are holding onto | bitterness. If these regrets and blame have to do with yourself you |
T3:14.11 | to pass away into the illusion from which it came. Remember that | bitterness, like the ego, has existed in all. If your brother or |
T3:14.11 | ego, has existed in all. If your brother or sister would not give up | bitterness in order to usher in a world of peace, would you not think |
T3:19.4 | have always had as their cause the thought system of the ego or the | bitterness of the heart. As cause and effect are one, there is no |
T3:19.4 | a corresponding cause birthed in the ego thought system or the | bitterness of the heart. |
D:Day8.17 | the feelings generated by the fear of the ego thought system or the | bitterness of your heart. It would have been to accept the feelings |
D:Day8.20 | be more evolved, evolved enough not to feel the anger or hurt, the | bitterness or guilt that you do not like. You hold others to the |
D:Day39.32 | only a life of hate and violence? Then your god has been the god of | bitterness. |

blame (53) |
||
C:9.30 | similar to what you have attempted to do and it is like placing the | blame for a car accident on the automobile. You have attempted to |
C:9.45 | force of such abuse is easily apparent. Again you would place the | blame outside yourself and label drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gambling, |
C:9.45 | and even food as destructive forces. Like the automobile you would | blame for an accident, user and usee have become confused. All such |
C:9.46 | much as you have desired anonymity and autonomy from God, still you | blame God for creating a situation in which you think you have been |
C:11.9 | your own. You think you can be grateful to Him for some things and | blame Him for others. Yes, perhaps this God you think you know has |
C:19.23 | you have covered a million times, seeing causes for recriminations, | blame, and guilt. Looking back in judgment is not what is required |
C:19.24 | undesirable to you. The concept that in oneness there is no need for | blame or guilt or even for redemption is inconceivable to the |
T1:4.14 | ego-mind. Is this not the kind of thinking that has caused you to | blame God for what you have labeled “bad” as well as to praise God |
T3:3.5 | reflected this hatred of the self and that functioned on finding | blame for every misfortune. Your illnesses became the result of |
T3:3.5 | smoking to too little exercise. Your accidents caused lawsuits where | blame could be rightly placed. Your depression was blamed on the |
T3:4.1 | these tenets you can become good. It gives no credence and no | blame to any past cause for your depression, anxiety, meanness, |
T3:6.4 | the idea of a self the ego is not. Thus has the ego had a self to | blame for everything, including your very existence. This blame is as |
T3:6.4 | a self to blame for everything, including your very existence. This | blame is as old as time itself and the cause of bitterness being able |
T3:8.6 | Who then are you to be angry with for all that has occurred? Do you | blame yourself and your ancestors for the history, both ancient and |
T3:8.6 | would have given anything to change? Do you look upon the ill and | blame them for their illness? Do you not look upon all suffering and |
T3:8.6 | to relieve it? And do you not thus attempt to see it not and then | blame yourself for looking the other way? |
T3:10.3 | 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 the “hard |
T3:10.3 | get to the “hard part” of this Course may find it here. The idea of | blame is incongruous with the idea of a benevolent Creator and a |
T3:10.3 | and a benevolent creation and as such is the only blasphemy. To | blame yourself is as senseless as blaming others and your inclination |
T3:10.3 | is as senseless as blaming others and your inclination to place | blame upon yourself must be given up as well. When it is said that |
T3:10.3 | it is said that you are the cause it is not meant that you are to | blame for anything. Although many a child has been blamed for his or |
T3:10.3 | many a child has been blamed for his or her failure to learn, | blame of yourself is as uncalled for as is blaming a child for |
T3:10.4 | Taking away the idea of placing | blame will change your thought processes beyond your wildest |
T3:10.4 | imagining. You will be surprised at how many times you recognize | blame where before you saw it not, just as in the beginning you did |
T3:10.4 | been able to bring those concerns to love, you can now do so with | blame. All you need do is catch yourself in the act of placing blame |
T3:10.4 | with blame. All you need do is catch yourself in the act of placing | blame and say to yourself, “I was placing blame again and I choose to |
T3:10.4 | in the act of placing blame and say to yourself, “I was placing | blame again and I choose to do so no longer.” You need not spend any |
T3:10.4 | I choose to do so no longer.” You need not spend any more time with | blame than this and I offer you no word or sentiment to replace it. I |
T3:10.5 | this easier if a replacement were offered, for ridding your mind of | blame will leave an empty space you will long to fill. This act of |
T3:10.5 | you will long to fill. This act of consciously choosing not to place | blame will short-circuit the many thoughts that you would attach to |
T3:10.5 | behaviors that you had no realization were birthed from the idea of | blame. Although I offer it not as a replacement, what you will find |
T3:10.5 | 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 needed now. |
T3:10.8 | reactions to people and situations and much like forgetting to place | blame. |
T3:14.2 | all ideas of scarcity into ideas of abundance, all ideas of | blame into ideas of benevolence. Thus you might, after this period of |
T3:14.2 | A “god” outside of the self would soon be called upon to intercede. | Blame would be placed. A return to equanimity would soon prevail, for |
T3:14.10 | of yourself behind, no matter what it is you feel you have need to | blame yourself for. You would not be here if you had not already felt |
T3:14.11 | We have spoken already of historical causes for vengeance and | blame. The suffering that has been chosen has been mighty. The choice |
T3:14.11 | for all time. If you are holding onto regrets you are holding on to | blame. If you are holding onto blame you are holding onto bitterness. |
T3:14.11 | onto regrets you are holding on to blame. If you are holding onto | blame you are holding onto bitterness. If these regrets and blame |
T3:14.11 | onto blame you are holding onto bitterness. If these regrets and | blame have to do with yourself you may not feel as if you have the |
T3:14.11 | “less” rather than selfish now and allow the self that you would | blame to pass away into the illusion from which it came. Remember |
T3:14.13 | point for the future. Just as we talked of the consequences of | blame and how you are unaware of all that proceeds from the idea of |
T3:14.13 | blame and how you are unaware of all that proceeds from the idea of | blame, so too is it with the past. Like a story yet to be written, |
T3:19.5 | and in the acting out cause harm to other bodies, is the cause for | blame and fear of the body. So too is it with actions linked with |
T3:19.12 | These lessons could not be taught while | blame remained within your thought system. No victim is to blame for |
T3:19.12 | while blame remained within your thought system. No victim is to | blame for the violence done to them. No sick person is to blame for |
T3:19.12 | is to blame for the violence done to them. No sick person is to | blame for the illness within them. But you must be able to look at |
T4:1.16 | As was said within “A Treatise on the Personal Self,” all notions of | blame must be gone from you. Thus, you are asked not to look back |
T4:1.16 | must be gone from you. Thus, you are asked not to look back with | blame, for no such cause for blame exists. No cause to look back |
T4:1.16 | you are asked not to look back with blame, for no such cause for | blame exists. No cause to look back exists at all, for the truth |
D:6.21 | for the present. And yet, what ridding your mind of ideas of placing | blame does, is take it one step away from the thinking of the “if |
D:Day16.4 | into the spacious Self. Rejected feelings are those for which you | blame yourself. Sickness is the form of manifestation of rejected |
D:Day16.5 | you think you know—that others, or the world in general, are to | blame for the sorry state of your life. |
blamed (12) |
||
T3:3.4 | It is yourself, who, more often than not, you | blamed for all your misfortune. You would have liked to be strong and |
T3:3.5 | lawsuits where blame could be rightly placed. Your depression was | blamed on the past. Even your successes were often claimed to be at |
T3:3.5 | done so much to cause your unhappiness, and while you have in turn | blamed it as much as it blamed you, you never blamed anything quite |
T3:3.5 | your unhappiness, and while you have in turn blamed it as much as it | blamed you, you never blamed anything quite as much as you blamed |
T3:3.5 | while you have in turn blamed it as much as it blamed you, you never | blamed anything quite as much as you blamed yourself. |
T3:3.5 | as it blamed you, you never blamed anything quite as much as you | blamed yourself. |
T3:10.3 | that you are to blame for anything. Although many a child has been | blamed for his or her failure to learn, blame of yourself is as |
T3:19.4 | experience. Let us now dispel this link. The physical form has been | blamed for choices made from lust and greed, hate and fear, vengeance |
T3:19.6 | been held tantamount. The will of the body to survive has thus been | blamed for all actions that have arisen from real and perceived lack. |
D:6.20 | it is a system too, an internal idea given a name, externalized, and | blamed for all that you do not understand, all that cannot be made to |
D:6.21 | and in need of being left behind as is belief that illness can be | blamed on certain habits. This may not be the type of blaming you see |
D:Day16.5 | outside of the body. These are the unwanted feelings that are | blamed on others. These manifest in your interactions with the world, |

C:19.24 | mind and heart are their ability to keep one part of yourself | blameless. Whatever happens, your divided notion of yourself allows |

T3:14.10 | in my assurance that this is not so. You must choose to leave this | blaming of yourself behind, no matter what it is you feel you have |
T3:19.10 | Leave all | blaming of the body behind and see it not as the source of |
T4:8.2 | “yourself” any choice in the matter, or reverting to old ideas of | blaming God for all that has ensued since this choice. I say this |
D:6.21 | When you remember that we have left | blaming behind, you will see that belief in fate is just as |
D:6.21 | illness can be blamed on certain habits. This may not be the type of | blaming you see as easily as that of blaming a friend for your hurt |
D:6.21 | This may not be the type of blaming you see as easily as that of | blaming a friend for your hurt feelings, or blaming the past for the |

C:5.6 | “When two or more are joined together” is not an injunction for | bodies to unite. It is a statement that describes the truly real, the |
C:8.15 | The heart we speak of does not abide in it and nor do you. Separate | bodies cannot unite in wholeness. They were made to keep wholeness |
C:8.21 | Into these days that come to pass move many other | bodies such as yours. Each one is distinct—and there are so many! |

C:9.5 | does not apply to those for whom you cook or clean, those whose | bodies you would repair or minds improve. The question is, really, |
C:10.2 | Now we must return to the concept of relationship, for the thought of | bodies joined in union closer than the union that you feel with the |
C:13.1 | will begin to realize that your brothers and sisters are not their | bodies, any more than you are yours. This is a natural extension of |
C:13.1 | and “them” together where you belong. This seeming togetherness of | bodies is just a first step that will take you beyond the illusion of |

C:P.15 | Many of you have accepted, for instance, that you are more than your | body while retaining your belief in the body. You thus have confused |
C:P.15 | that you are more than your body while retaining your belief in the | body. You thus have confused yourself further by accepting that you |
C:P.15 | accepting that you are two selves—an ego self represented by the | body—and a spirit self that represents to you an invisible world in |
C:P.29 | to believe in the laws of the world that govern the survival of the | body. This is the way of those who know this is not the way it is |
C:P.36 | exchange this world at last for your true home. But it is not your | body that will pass through heaven’s gates, nor your body’s eyes that |

C:1.3 | your reality. Love is as essential to your being as the heart to the | body. You would not exist without love. It is there even if you are |

C:3.6 | son of man. He walked the world with a face much like your own, a | body with two legs and two arms, ten fingers and ten toes. And yet |
C:3.14 | These words of love do not enter your | body through your eyes and take up residence in your brain, there to |
C:3.16 | You who have been unable to separate mind from | body, brain from head, and intelligence from knowledge, take heart. |
C:3.17 | in contrast, go out to the world, to the suffering, to the weak of | body and of mind. Our hearts are not so easily contained within the |
C:3.19 | tissue, brain, and cells. And then you call it illness and allow the | body to let you down, still and always holding love unto yourself. |
C:4.17 | such exchange of equal value. You give your mind to an idea, your | body to a job, your days to activities that do not interest or |
C:5.5 | or forms of your world. You think relationship exists between one | body and another, and while you think this is so, you will not |
C:5.18 | You thus become a | body moving through a world of illusion where nothing is real and |
C:5.23 | efforts to be an individual are concentrated on the life of your | body. Your concentration on the life of your body is meant to keep |
C:5.23 | on the life of your body. Your concentration on the life of your | body is meant to keep your body separate. “Overcoming” is your catch |
C:5.23 | Your concentration on the life of your body is meant to keep your | body separate. “Overcoming” is your catch phrase here as you struggle |
C:6.2 | brother. This is reality. Your mind is not contained within your | body but is one with God and shared equally with all alike. This is |
C:6.20 | that they still exist, but without the pain and burden of the | body, without the limits placed upon those who remain? You imagine |
C:7.5 | world as love is. The harsh realities of the world may claim your | body and your time, but this one piece of yourself that you have set |
C:7.21 | is easy to see the relationship between a pencil and your hand, your | body and another, the actions that you do and the effects they seem |
C:8.6 | with your heart. Emotions, however, are really reactions of your | body to stimuli that arrive through your senses. Thus, the sight of a |
C:8.6 | your feelings, emotions that seem to have a life of their own, and a | body that reacts to all of it in ways that make you uncomfortable, |
C:8.15 | Think of your | body now as the surface of your existence and look upon it. Stand |
C:8.15 | you of the illusion of your separateness. Step back. See your | body as just the surface layer of your existence. It is what appears |
C:8.15 | found the truth, you have recognized what is not the truth. Your | body is not the truth of who you are, no matter how much it appears |
C:8.16 | for many of you are thinking still that it is what is within the | body that is real: your brain and heart, your thoughts and emotions. |
C:8.16 | is real: your brain and heart, your thoughts and emotions. If your | body contained what was real, it too would be real. Just as if a |
C:8.16 | situation contained the truth, it would be the truth. If your | body and what lies within it are not who you are, you feel as if you |
C:8.16 | to your real home, for were you locked up and contained within your | body, and were you to accept this container as your home, you would |
C:8.17 | it, the terms that set your reality in a location, on a planet, in a | body. God is here and you belong to God. This is the only sense in |
C:8.18 | Now that you are standing back from your | body, participating in this experiment to recognize the surface |
C:8.18 | in a particular place and time. As you stand back and observe your | body, this is what you will see: a form moving through time and |
C:8.19 | This moment without awareness of the | body was beautifully described in A Course in Miracles as the Holy |
C:8.19 | Miracles as the Holy Instant. You may not think observation of your | body is a good way to achieve this, but as you observe you learn to |
C:8.20 | You may begin by feeling compassion toward this | body that you have long viewed as your home. There it goes again, one |
C:8.21 | the opposite, and you will wonder where you are. Yes, there your | body is, but where are you? |
C:8.28 | it be that you move through the same world day by day in the same | body, observing many situations like onto each other, awakening to |
C:9.5 | in it. How many items would you keep that you now look upon? Your | body too was created for its usefulness. It sets you apart, just as |
C:9.5 | apart by what it is useful for. Ask yourself now: To whom is your | body useful? This question does not apply to those for whom you cook |
C:9.5 | improve. The question is, really, who might have seen a use for a | body such as yours before it was created? What kind of creator would |
C:9.6 | You did not create your Self, but your | body you did create. It was created for its usefulness just like |
C:9.6 | space you occupy. Think for a moment of what the creator of such a | body would have intended the body to be. The body is a finite entity, |
C:9.6 | a moment of what the creator of such a body would have intended the | body to be. The body is a finite entity, created to be self-contained |
C:9.6 | the creator of such a body would have intended the body to be. The | body is a finite entity, created to be self-contained but also to |
C:9.7 | The | body could not help but be thus, as it was made with dual purposes in |
C:9.7 | for the separation. Its creator had in mind what is reflected in the | body: self-aggrandizement and self-effacement, pleasure and pain, |
C:9.7 | these desires it is easy to see how a world such as that of the | body developed. Alongside the desire to know was the desire not to |
C:9.10 | Look upon your | body now as you earlier looked upon the space you occupy. Take away |
C:9.10 | that which you now look upon? As you stand back and observe your | body, always with the vision of your heart, think about just what it |
C:9.15 | faces to the world. If, for the purposes of our discussion, the | body is the surface aspect of your self, and if beneath that surface |
C:9.22 | the eternal, to nourishment and rest of the spirit rather than the | body. That your sights are set on the care of the body alone is |
C:9.22 | rather than the body. That your sights are set on the care of the | body alone is another example of choosing an opposite for replacement. |
C:9.25 | up is your insane notion that you are alone. We speak much of your | body here only because it is your proof of this insane idea’s |
C:9.25 | How could you not fear for the safety of a home as fragile as the | body? How could you fail to provide the next meal for yourself and |
C:9.30 | on the automobile. You have attempted to change places with the | body, claiming that it is using you rather than that you are using |
C:9.30 | out of guilt in an attempt to place your guilt outside yourself. “My | body made me do it” is like the cry of the child with an imaginary |
C:9.30 | With his claim of an imaginary friend, the child announces that his | body is not within his control. What is your ego but an imaginary |
C:9.32 | of using others from the reality you have made in which you use the | body that you call your home and identify as your own self. How can |
C:9.32 | the purpose of your life seem to be one of usefulness. The more your | body can be of use to others and to yourself, the more worthwhile you |
C:9.33 | alone can give free will. In giving your power to things like your | body and to ideas like time your imitation of the gift of free will |
C:9.33 | illusion that you cannot see this madness for what it truly is. Your | body has no use for your power, and time was not made for happiness. |
C:9.42 | and the same laws bind both. Who is master and who is slave in this | body you would call your home? What freedom would you have without |
C:9.42 | call your home? What freedom would you have without the demands your | body places upon you? The same question can be asked of this world |
C:9.42 | The same question can be asked of this world you see as home to the | body. Which is master and which is slave when both are held in |
C:9.43 | can be used, how lucky you think you are. A beautiful face and a fit | body can be traded for so much. It is no secret that you live in a |
C:9.45 | confusion stems from the initial confusion of the use you think your | body would put you to. All such confusion stems from your |
C:9.50 | Now we seek to uncover the illusion that you can be used by your | body, for your own seeming use by such as this leads to all other |
C:10.1 | First let us consider what it is the | body would use. Although you feel slave to it and under the weight of |
C:10.1 | lies the cure to all disease and the hope of all healing. While the | body seems to tell you what you feel and bid you act in accordance |
C:10.1 | bid you act in accordance with its feelings, how can this be so? The | body by itself is neutral. But as long as you attribute the body with |
C:10.1 | so? The body by itself is neutral. But as long as you attribute the | body with bringing you pleasure, the body will bring you pain as |
C:10.1 | as long as you attribute the body with bringing you pleasure, the | body will bring you pain as well. You cannot choose one without the |
C:10.1 | choose one without the other, because the choice is the same. The | body is a tool made for your use in maintaining the illusion of your |
C:10.1 | could you be more linked with anything than you are with your own | body? If you are not even joined with this presence that you call |
C:10.2 | bodies joined in union closer than the union that you feel with the | body you call your own is indeed ridiculous. Joining happens in |
C:10.3 | to make. Your heart—not to be confused with the pump that runs the | body, but identified as the center of yourself—has no thought |
C:10.4 | and this is as true of illusion as of the truth. You see your | body as your self, and your self as “source” of all that you have |
C:10.5 | as well as those of you just beginning, this abandonment of the | body as your home and source of all you are is the greatest hurdle to |
C:10.5 | all you are is the greatest hurdle to overcome. As you observe the | body and dare to think of life without it, you again and again |
C:10.5 | is the separated self that you have made calling you back to the | body to prove to you that it is insurmountable. Many people at this |
C:10.5 | they see this as further evidence of their entrenchment in the | body. Beware all attempts to think the body away and to think |
C:10.5 | of their entrenchment in the body. Beware all attempts to think the | body away and to think miracles into existence. This desire merely |
C:10.6 | out to you the impossibility of being other than what you are—a | body. This is the “fact” it whispers constantly in your ear, the lie |
C:10.8 | all that is needed. When your separated self whispers to you, “Your | body is but a fact,” all you need tell yourself is, “I am still |
C:10.11 | a game of make believe. You will not believe that you are not your | body, but you would make believe that you are not. You may then be |
C:10.11 | be tempted to believe that because you are pretending you are not a | body, you can pretend you do not feel the pain of a headache or the |
C:10.12 | belief. You would not still be reading if you believed you were your | body and that alone. Long have you known that there is more to you |
C:10.14 | strikes your heart when you consider giving up your belief in the | body. To believe you are not your body while you walk around within |
C:10.14 | giving up your belief in the body. To believe you are not your | body while you walk around within it is something quite different |
C:10.14 | eyes and ears, as well as that of science, would say you are your | body. Even history would seem to prove this fact as you look back and |
C:10.15 | example life. Do you believe that when I walked the earth I was a | body, or do you believe that I was the Son of God before I was born |
C:10.15 | Nowhere in the mystery of faith is it stated that Christ became a | body. |
C:10.16 | You have not been told that the | body does not exist, only that it is not you. Like all tools you |
C:10.16 | while you believe you do, it is quite real to you. To give up the | body entirely is a choice you need not make. As your learning |
C:10.16 | choose this. At this point, however, all that is asked is that your | body is seen as what it is—both in terms of what you made it for |
C:10.17 | the ego would choose being right over happiness. As you observe your | body, also observe its actions in terms of the choices it makes. Ask |
C:10.23 | If the | body is the surface aspect of your existence and fear lies beneath |
C:10.23 | beneath the surface, see the advantage of this exercise: Place your | body out in front of yourself where you can be its silent observer. |
C:10.24 | You will find that you are full of thoughts—thoughts about your | body, the same kind of thoughts you might have of someone else’s |
C:10.24 | body, the same kind of thoughts you might have of someone else’s | body. The difference will be that these thoughts will not seem to |
C:10.25 | more so than as you conduct your experiment in detachment from the | body. This is why we conduct this experiment. Whether you term |
C:10.25 | anew that your thoughts more accurately define who you are than your | body does. Whether they wander aimlessly or are quite focused, your |
C:10.25 | are more the source of all you are and all you do than is the | body you observe. |
C:10.27 | falling as you walk—but more and more you will come to see the | body as a whole. You will see it from behind as you follow it about |
C:10.27 | you are more aware of your surroundings, and more aware that your | body is part of everything that is happening. There is your body and |
C:10.27 | your body is part of everything that is happening. There is your | body and six more crossing the street. There is your body sitting at |
C:10.27 | There is your body and six more crossing the street. There is your | body sitting at a desk in a building with many others. You will |
C:10.28 | upon yourself? And can you skip along and get in front to see your | body coming toward you? |
C:10.29 | This | body that you claim to be your “self” is but a form—how can it be |
C:10.30 | you will begin to be aware of feelings too that are not bound to the | body. Like the thoughts you neither see nor hear with your body’s |
C:10.31 | that your feet still touch the ground and that the boundary of your | body is still intact. But you will remember the urge to laugh gently |
C:10.31 | expanded vision as well. You will remember that for a moment your | body did not seem to be a boundary that kept you contained within its |
C:11.1 | stems from this confusion. If your “source” were truly your | body and the brain that causes it to function, then you would indeed |
C:11.9 | to take anything away from you. While you still view yourself as a | body, you cannot help but think of God as a vengeful God whose final |
C:11.9 | vengeance is your own death. While you still think of your self as a | body, it is easier to accept that your banishment from paradise was |
C:13.1 | of it. This is all the exercises that call you to observe your | body are for. They are the preparation for what is to come: the |
C:13.1 | is to come: the preparation for feeling that which is not of your | body. Our next exercise takes this one step further, and is merely an |
C:13.1 | than you are yours. This is a natural extension of observing your | body in action, because as your body seems to interact with others |
C:13.1 | natural extension of observing your body in action, because as your | body seems to interact with others and as you observe this |
C:13.1 | interaction, you will “see” yourself and others in a new light. Your | body will seem more connected with those of the others it interacts |
C:13.7 | exercise, remember that you already know that you are more than your | body, and ask yourself if it makes sense to not do all you can to |
C:14.18 | The laws of your universe are for the maintenance of your | body, because without it you would not exist. And when you cease to |
C:16.4 | your judgment justified any more than the judgment that condemns a | body to death or to “life” in prison. |
C:16.5 | Life in prison and a | body condemned to death is what judgment does to all of you who |
C:17.13 | And 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 |
C:18.6 | While you have been taught that you are not your | body, it is impossible for you to deny the body here. Yet you can |
C:18.6 | that you are not your body, it is impossible for you to deny the | body here. Yet you can change the function you have ascribed to it, |
C:18.22 | While we spoke of what you think of as emotion being reactions of the | body to stimulus, we did not speak of this stimulus itself. Before we |
C:18.22 | itself. Before we do so, we must clarify further the function of the | body as a learning device. Your body seems to experience both |
C:18.22 | clarify further the function of the body as a learning device. Your | body seems to experience both pleasure and pain, yet as a learning |
C:18.22 | reaction back to it. This circular relationship between you and the | body is the perfect relationship for the purpose of learning, since |
C:18.22 | however, the perfect relationship when you have misperceived the | body as your home rather than as a learning device. Because you have |
C:18.22 | rather than as a learning device. Because you have misperceived the | body as your home, there is, in a sense, no “you” to which the body |
C:18.22 | the body as your home, there is, in a sense, no “you” to which the | body can send its signals. And so the body seems to be in charge and |
C:18.22 | a sense, no “you” to which the body can send its signals. And so the | body seems to be in charge and to be both the experiencer and the |
C:18.23 | the judgment of the separated self who not only believes it is the | body, but that it is at the body’s mercy. Yet the body has no mercy |
C:18.23 | believes it is the body, but that it is at the body’s mercy. Yet the | body has no mercy to offer the separated self. It is only a learning |
C:19.1 | There was no evil intent in the creation of the | body as a learning device, and as a learning device it was perfectly |
C:19.1 | problem lies in what you have, in your forgetfulness, made of the | body. Only from thinking of the body as yourself did ideas of |

C:23.15 | you are free of this misperception, this inaccurate belief, your | body will be freed. It will no longer be an object of use but a means |

C:31.2 | guarded and regarded thoughts are what A Course in Miracles calls | body thoughts. Distinctions are made in many religions and |

T1:2.10 | survival of the body is to exist in a lower order. The laws of the | body have thus subjected you to conditions that invited the ego-mind |
T1:4.5 | you. So too has your Self. When your Self is seen as no more than a | body it is seen as little more than an object. |
T1:4.8 | in its imitation of creation, put the “you” of the ego or the | body at the center of its thought system and from this central |
T1:4.10 | a lengthy list of those concerns associated with the survival of the | body, they will miss a whole aspect of concerns associated with |
T1:5.9 | Again I tell you that it is only your | body and the thinking of your ego-mind that make the in-between state |
T1:5.10 | The | body, and thus the “you” whom you think you are, would not experience |
T1:9.9 | that this new form would exist within you; that you would become the | Body of Christ and giving and receiving would be complete. |
T1:9.10 | You are the | Body of Christ. |
T1:9.11 | union and a time of miracles. It will mean that you are the living | Body of Christ. |
T1:10.14 | 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 condition |
T2:2.5 | What overriding kindness calls one to take care of another’s | body, to be a healer? |
T2:4.6 | remembrance, trust, and a wholehearted approach that allows the | body, mind and heart to act in unison. This wholehearted approach is |
T2:9.2 | commonly thought of as tools might be meditation, exercises of the | body such as yoga, or exercises of the mind such as affirmations. |
T2:11.4 | until now, it will, in a sense, be forever with you, much as the | body that is your form will remain with you until your death. But |
T2:11.4 | remain with you until your death. But while your perception of your | body as your identity and your home has given way to an idea of it as |
T2:11.13 | in relationship? Is this not similar to saying that a living human | body does not exist without its heart? Is not what is essential to a |
T2:11.13 | not exist without its heart? Is not what is essential to a living | body a fact of that body’s existence? While this illustration is not |
T2:11.13 | is not attempting to say that life does not exist apart from the | body, it is attempting to reveal, in an easily understandable way, |
T3:1.6 | ego, what I mean is that the personal self, as represented by your | body, while adhering to the ego’s thought system, became an ego-self |
T3:1.13 | There is a danger even now in focusing upon the self of the | body, as this self has been so long bound to the ego-self. Even with |
T3:4.2 | The sameness that this Course calls you to is not a sameness of | body or of habit. It asks not for monks or clones. It asks not that |
T3:10.1 | Thus are more practical lessons needed in regard to the life of the | body that you now will let serve our cause of creating heaven on |
T3:10.16 | these lessons in forgetting practical lessons for the life of the | body. They are lessons that will soon be translated in another way. |
T3:10.16 | will, of necessity, need to be translated into the language of the | body as well. While your human form remains, you will be dwelling |
T3:12.6 | These temptations are not temptations of the | body. They may seem to be, but the body is neutral. All temptations |
T3:12.6 | are not temptations of the body. They may seem to be, but the | body is neutral. All temptations originate in the mind and are |
T3:12.6 | All temptations originate in the mind and are transferred to the | body. Temptations do not originate from love. While some temptations |
T3:13.5 | Remember now that pleasure and pain as perceived by the | body are from the same source. That source has not been the body but |
T3:13.5 | by the body are from the same source. That source has not been the | body but your beliefs about your body and yourself. You have believed |
T3:13.5 | That source has not been the body but your beliefs about your | body and yourself. You have believed pleasure to come at a cost, the |
T3:14.12 | nature’s ability to correct itself. You are a part of nature. Your | body can correct or heal itself, and so can your mind and heart—if |
T3:18.9 | of your physical form to the new thought system of the truth. Your | body, as has been often said, is a neutral form that will serve you |
T3:19.5 | That these feelings can be “acted out” by the | body and in the acting out cause harm to other bodies, is the cause |
T3:19.5 | cause harm to other bodies, is the cause for blame and fear of the | body. So too is it with actions linked with survival needs. |
T3:19.6 | For ages the survival needs of the | body have gone unquestioned and been held tantamount. The will of the |
T3:19.6 | have gone unquestioned and been held tantamount. The will of the | body to survive has thus been blamed for all actions that have arisen |
T3:19.6 | all actions that have arisen from real and perceived lack. Yet the | body has no will and the survival of the true Self is not based upon |
T3:19.10 | Leave all blaming of the | body behind and see it not as the source of temptations of the human |
T3:19.10 | has been revealed to lie within the faulty beliefs to which the | body merely responded. The body’s response to the new thought system |
T3:21.15 | The self-image aspect is based upon your race, ethnicity, culture, | body size and shape, sex and sexual preferences, and so on. The |
T3:21.17 | them in a new light. No matter what you believe, while you have a | body that is different from all the rest, a name that distinguishes |
T3:21.18 | thoughts of a separated mind or the circumstances of the physical | body. |
T3:22.11 | about your new Self you will observe about all. We will be one | body, one Self. No comparison will be possible. You will realize that |
T4:5.2 | can join your accomplishment with that of all others and become the | body of Christ. |

T4:5.3 | many forms are made one body through Christ-consciousness. The one | body is one energy given many expressions in form. The same |
T4:5.4 | In order for your | body to live, this one Energy had to enter your form and exist where |
T4:5.5 | It encompasses you. It is you and all who exist with you. It is the | body of Christ. It is like unto what the water of the ocean is to the |
T4:5.6 | God can thus be seen as the All of everything and life, or the | Body of Christ, as all that makes up the seemingly individual parts |
T4:5.7 | Just as your finger is but one part of your | body, without being separate from your body, or other than your body, |
T4:5.7 | is but one part of your body, without being separate from your | body, or other than your body, you are part of the body of Christ, |
T4:5.7 | your body, without being separate from your body, or other than your | body, you are part of the body of Christ, the body of energy that |
T4:5.7 | from your body, or other than your body, you are part of the | body of Christ, the body of energy that makes up the universe. |
T4:5.7 | or other than your body, you are part of the body of Christ, the | body of energy that makes up the universe. |

T4:5.13 | because it has been a time of increased awareness. Loosed of the | body and the body’s limited vision, real choice has been revealed to |

T4:7.6 | to relearn the thought system of the truth. Your mind, heart, and | body have joined in alignment to bring this learning about. They now |

T4:7.6 | brought harmony to your body. Sustaining this harmony will keep your | body in perfect health, even while the manner of this perfection of |
T4:8.7 | expressing yourself depended upon what you could “do” with the human | body, you can imagine the learning process that ensued. If your |
T4:8.9 | mind, being of God, was constrained by the learning limits of the | body and chose to rebel against the learning that was needed in order |
T4:12.35 | is up to us dear brothers and sisters. It is up to us acting as one | body, one mind, one heart. It is up to us creating as one body, one |
