T1:7.2 | rather than a punishment, but it still, in its acceptance of a | false notion, invites suffering. This belief accepts learning through |

C:12.16 | representing ideas that represent what is. That you have made of the | Father a singular figure, somehow greater than the Son, and accepted |
C:12.19 | in it, it would not change who that person was, or who his | father was, or the nature of the family he was born into. All that |
C:12.21 | The | Father did not prevent the idea of separation from taking place, and |
C:12.24 | that is truly real within it. The son could not create unlike the | Father who created everything by extension of Himself. Neither the |
C:12.24 | of Himself. Neither the Father’s extension, nor the Son’s, lessened | Father or Son in any way. Replace the word Father with the word |
C:12.24 | nor the Son’s, lessened Father or Son in any way. Replace the word | Father with the word Creation and see if this does not help to make |
C:12.24 | make less of it than what it started out to be? What we call | Father is but creation’s heavenly face, a personification of what |
C:12.25 | to division, and these word symbols are all that seem to separate | Father, Son, and Holy Spirit from Creation or from each other. |
C:13.12 | —and when memory of forgiveness returns to you, can memory of your | Father or your own Self be far behind? |
C:15.9 | you would call an act of treachery. To give your allegiance to your | Father and to the learning goals this Course has set is but an act of |
C:15.12 | choose for you. For in his choice you join with him and with your | Father. In this choice lies one united will for glory that knows |
C:20.32 | of your God-given authority via your free will. When I beseeched my | Father, saying, “They know not what they do,” I was expressing the |
C:26.26 | you are. When this occurs you are All in All, One in being with your | Father. |
C:27.1 | death as the only means by which to reach oneness with your | Father, knowing that such oneness is not compatible with the human |
C:30.1 | fully aware of your own being, you would be in oneness with Your | Father. |
C:31.37 | to child. These two relationships have comprised your ideas of our | Father and me as you have realized that you are here to learn. Now, |
C:32.2 | return you to the Source, which is Love. The difference between | Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is but the same difference of which we |
T1:4.13 | Love is a response. See you not the difference? Can a | father not be guided by responsibility and still fail to give love? |
T1:9.4 | is the prelude to resurrection. What was once part of the mother and | father, what would have died without the joining that occurred |
T2:13.4 | 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 time of |
T3:6.1 | parent. Although you see yourself as the child of your mother and | father, this notion of yourself as child has not made you cling to a |
T4:4.5 | of passing as well as an idea of continuity. What belonged to the | Father passed to the son and thereafter belonged to the son. What was |
T4:4.5 | to the son and thereafter belonged to the son. What was of the | Father continued with the son. |
T4:4.6 | and resurrection revealed the power of inheritance, the power of the | Father, as one of life-giving union. I called you then and I call you |
T4:4.9 | has not been a time on Earth in which the inheritance of God the | Father was accepted, save by me. This is why this time is spoken of |
T4:4.9 | come into your time of fullness by accepting the inheritance of your | Father. You have the awareness and thus the ability to accept the |
D:14.16 | you are. When this occurs you are All in All, One in being with your | Father. |
D:Day31.4 | Wholeness and oneness are the same. You are one in being with your | Father, your Creator, the originator and denominator of life. |
D:Day32.17 | The claimed relationship of God to Jesus was that of | Father to Son but also as one in being. One in being, but different |
D:Day32.19 | know itself without relationship. You are one in being with your | Father, with God, with the Creator and with all of creation. You are |
D:Day36.11 | being and God in relationship. This is the example that the ideas of | Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as a trinity representing one God were |
D:Day36.11 | God. The Holy Spirit could only be God in relationship to God. The | Father could only be God in relationship to God. God could only be |
D:Day36.11 | could only be God in relationship to God. God could only be the | Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in relationship. Without relationship, |
D:Day37.22 | to thoughts of God as a particular being. Yet the idea of God as | Father, introduced and championed by Jesus Christ, was also created |
D:Day37.22 | power of creation. What this is saying is that there is a God the | Father to relate to and that this God the Father does not negate God, |

D:Day37.22 | this God the Father does not negate God, nor does God negate God the | Father. |
D:Day37.23 | God the | Father is an idea that was created and thus exists much as other |

C:12.14 | But one was needed to, of his own free will, join his will with his | Father’s for it to be done for all. This is all correction or |

C:2.4 | Love is the name you give to much you | fear. You think that it is possible to choose it as a means to buy |

C:18.21 | your feelings of love from your feelings of lack of love or | fear. What we have as yet talked even less of, however, is what |
C:19.2 | was, it was also created to provide the desired experience. Thus was | fear born, for a separate self is a fearful self by its nature. How |

C:20.33 | universe, existing in a state of compassionate free will devoid of | fear, knows what it does. There are no opposing forces that are not |

T1:3.5 | can what is controlled create? How can what continues to give in to | fear know love? All your reasons for fear-based living have been |
T1:3.9 | yourself as you think through this question. Can you remove all | fear from it? Why should it be that fear is what you encounter? The |

T1:3.9 | bigger the miracle that occurs to you, the more you are likely to | fear the consequences. These are not consequences for the world you |
T1:3.9 | fear the consequences. These are not consequences for the world you | fear, but consequences for yourself. If you requested a miracle, and |
T1:3.9 | into wine. What harm could come from it? And yet even this you would | fear for if you asked for such a miracle and it came to be, you would |
T1:3.9 | your power to perform miracles. Here you find your greatest | fear of all; fear of your power. |
T1:3.9 | power to perform miracles. Here you find your greatest fear of all; | fear of your power. |
T1:3.11 | I do not want to lose any of you here, but such is your | fear that you can already see your own loss. As great as the fear of |

T1:3.11 | already see 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 |
T1:3.12 | urgency 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 |
T1:3.12 | to leave fear behind. Can you not, from this one example of your | fear of miracles, see the glaring reality of all you still would fear? |
T1:3.12 | fear of miracles, see the glaring reality of all you still would | fear? |
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 choosing to lay |
T1:3.13 | How can you leave behind all you fear without seeing all you | fear for what it is and choosing to lay it aside? |
T1:3.14 | This does not have to be done right now if your | fear is mightier than your willingness. But hold this thought within |
T1:3.14 | you will be asked to make this final choice, this choice to leave | fear behind for good and to become who you are. |
T1:3.22 | You | fear as well that you do not know what miracles are and thus cannot |
T1:3.23 | more fears might prevail upon you, we will consider only one further | fear, the fear of making the wrong choice in your choice of miracles. |
T1:3.23 | might prevail upon you, we will consider only one further fear, the | fear of making the wrong choice in your choice of miracles. This is |
T1:3.23 | the wrong choice in your choice of miracles. This is the same as a | fear of scarcity. For surely the working of one miracle would be a |
T1:4.2 | Thus we must dispel, along with the illusion of | fear, the illusion of specificity. You have not been asked to request |
T1:4.26 | As was said within A Course of Love, all | fear is doubt about your self. Now we must expand upon this thought, |
T1:4.26 | Source of Love, you have, in your doubt, made of God the source of | fear. Pause a moment here and let the enormity of this confusion sink |
T1:4.26 | rest. Because of this confusion you have responded to Creation with | fear. Is it no wonder a new response is asked of you? |
T1:4.27 | the word or idea of awe has been confused with the word or idea of | fear. A Course in Miracles told you that awe is the providence of God |
T1:4.27 | become an aspect of yourself as human being. From time immemorial, | fear has been associated with God. This was the thinking I came to |
T1:4.27 | here. This is what we will now seek to do by putting an end to | fear and ushering in, with this ending, the beginning of a time of |
T1:5.1 | in so many forms since then that they remain forever countless, has | fear of God remained? The only answer possible is because fear of the |
T1:5.1 | has fear of God remained? The only answer possible is because | fear of the Self has remained. |
T1:5.2 | This is a two-fold | fear that must be looked at carefully now and with all the power of |
T1:5.2 | now and with all the power of the art of thought. One aspect of this | fear has to do with the human experience, the other aspect with the |
T1:5.3 | while creation is perfect, something has gone wrong within it, this | fear in relation to the human experience is of what it was I spoke. |
T1:5.3 | While I can tell you suffering is illusion, you cannot still your | fear of it nor tear your eyes away from it or remove from it the |
T1:5.4 | The second aspect of this | fear is fear of the divine. A part of this fear of the divine is |

T1:5.4 | of the divine. A part of this fear of the divine is related to the | fear of the human condition. How can you not be fearful of creation |
T1:5.4 | occurs within it? But there is another aspect that relates to the | fear of union we spent much time discussing within A Course of Love. |
T1:5.4 | union we spent much time discussing within A Course of Love. It is a | fear of the human mind that cannot comprehend the all or the |
T1:5.4 | has been described often as insanity, this is the insanity you would | fear that may actually grow stronger as you get closer to the truth. |
T1:5.5 | This | fear of all and nothingness is fear of God, fear of Life, fear of |
T1:5.5 | This fear of all and nothingness is | fear of God, fear of Life, fear of Creation, fear of Self. For there |
T1:5.5 | This fear of all and nothingness is fear of God, | fear of Life, fear of Creation, fear of Self. For there is only all |
T1:5.5 | This fear of all and nothingness is fear of God, fear of Life, | fear of Creation, fear of Self. For there is only all and nothing. |
T1:5.5 | all and nothingness is fear of God, fear of Life, fear of Creation, | fear of Self. For there is only all and nothing. |
T1:5.12 | remain forever theoretical. You must let go of the foundation of | fear on which the old thought system was built in order to experience |
T1:6.5 | of the wholehearted. Prayers such as these emanate from the state of | fear that is the reality of the separated self. |
T1:6.6 | To pray out of | fear is not to pray at all, because such prayer chooses not the union |
T1:6.6 | chooses not the union that is the prerequisite. To pray out of | fear is to ask from an unreal state of lack for what is seen as |
T1:7.2 | in relation to good, peace in relation to chaos, love in relation to | fear. This belief exists in the in-between, where on the one hand |
T2:1.4 | Those of you who have moved beyond the realm of the ego, in your | fear of returning to it, often turn away from internal treasures that |
T2:1.4 | many observations within this Course regarding desire, you may still | fear your desire. Despite many exhortations that your purpose here is |
T2:1.6 | ceased and peace has triumphed over chaos, love has triumphed over | fear. |
T2:4.5 | as forgetting where you are, or as complex as a sudden panic or | fear brought on by any number of factors. Either way, the result |
T2:7.2 | is not returned, the withholding of things you deem important. This | fear that you feel in relation to others is as true of those you hold |
T2:7.5 | relationship, where is the negativity? Where is the cause for | fear? What is the hidden source of your feelings of lack or |
T2:9.10 | prone to make in special relationships are but the symptoms of your | fear. |
T2:9.15 | cease to be fed by these concerns. What is food for the ego-mind is | fear and the removal of these final fears will quite literally starve |
T2:9.17 | comfortably hold your breath. Release your breath and release this | fear and move from special to holy relationship. |
T2:13.6 | in love, to share love. This is not such a frightening task. Let | fear go and walk with me now. Our journey together is just beginning |
T3:1.5 | the untrue has been repeatedly discussed as the ability to separate | fear from love, further guidelines are needed. |
T3:3.3 | As much as you | fear disappointment for yourself and let this fear keep you from much |
T3:3.3 | As much as you fear disappointment for yourself and let this | fear keep you from much you would desire, you fear as much or more |

T3:4.8 | of two things: to proceed toward love or fear. If you proceed with | fear you will assemble a new ego-self, an ego-self that perhaps will |
T3:5.1 | state of emptiness, this is not a state to be feared. Yet it is this | fear of emptiness that has, in the past, made those who have |
T3:10.4 | had feared. But just as you have, from recognizing what it is you | fear, been able to bring those concerns to love, you can now do so |
T3:10.11 | gentle or full of love. Its voice will hold the unmistakable edge of | fear. |
T3:10.12 | to you a foreign thought system. This thought system recognizes no | fear or judgment, no uncertainty or doubt, no contrast and no |
T3:11.4 | meant to shield the personal self from all that it would | fear. The House of Truth is the dwelling place of those who no longer |
T3:11.4 | House of Truth is the dwelling place of those who no longer live in | fear and thus have no need for a structure of seeming protection. |
T3:12.7 | of love will be retained. All that will be lost is what has come of | fear. |
T3:12.8 | experiences ensued. Some of these experiences were the result of | fear, some the result of love. The choice to express who you are in |
T3:12.8 | to express who you are in physical terms was not a choice made of | fear but made of love. A physical self is not inconsistent with the |
T3:12.9 | in relationship and believed itself to be separate and alone. In its | fear, it made an ego-self which, because it sprang from fear, was not |
T3:12.9 | In its fear, it made an ego-self which, because it sprang from | fear, was not consistent with the laws of Love or of creation. |
T3:12.9 | thus continuing, and being unable to find release from, the cycle of | fear. |
T3:13.2 | it be an extreme experience of pain or of pleasure. You begin to | fear that pleasure will end or that pain will not end. Once fear has |
T3:13.2 | begin to fear that pleasure will end or that pain will not end. Once | fear has entered, doubt and guilt are never far behind. |
T3:13.4 | system is simple to learn. What is of love is truth. What is of | fear is illusion. The temptation is to see love where it is not and |
T3:13.4 | The temptation is to see love where it is not and to not see | fear where it is. But your ability to distinguish between love and |
T3:13.4 | fear where it is. But your ability to distinguish between love and | fear as cause is all that is important now as you will create the new |
T3:13.10 | have accepted this new idea. Choose an act that will cause you no | fear to begin with. For instance, you might tell yourself something |
T3:13.12 | ideas have suggested. You must birth the idea of having no reason to | fear these consequences, no matter what they may be. You must, in |
T3:14.1 | system of the truth. The thought system of the ego was based on | fear. In this time of translation from one thought system to the |
T3:14.1 | and yet significant change is the change from the foundation of | fear, the basis of the ego thought system, to a foundation of love, |
T3:14.1 | the basis of the thought system of truth. While the foundation of | fear, like the ego, will have left you now, a pattern of behaving |
T3:14.1 | a deterrent to new ideas and to action. As long as these patterns of | fear remain as deterrents to action, you will not experience the |
T3:14.5 | behind patterns of behavior based on the old thought system of | fear. Despite the foundation of fear upon which your old thought |
T3:14.5 | based on the old thought system of fear. Despite the foundation of | fear upon which your old thought system was based, you still would |
T3:14.5 | the life you lead that you would change than you would imagine. You | fear where all your new ideas might take you, and for some great |
T3:14.8 | It is only your old uncertainty that will make you | fear the matters of choice that lie before you. But this choice is |
T3:14.8 | but let go the old, and with it the patterns of behavior caused by | fear, the new will reveal to you all that you would keep and all that |
T3:14.9 | see all of the choices that throughout your life were caused by | fear and how little consequence they had in truth. These fearful |
T3:16.4 | that you are more content and happy, more peaceful and free of | fear than you have ever been. While your life may not have changed in |
T3:16.12 | 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 human experience. If |
T3:16.12 | gain within the laws of love, you are being told to have no fear. | Fear of loss is a great temptation of the human experience. If it |
T3:16.12 | a great temptation of the human experience. If it were not for this | fear of loss, you would not find it difficult to live by the thought |
T3:16.12 | find it difficult to live by the thought system of the truth. This | fear relates very strongly to your ideas of change and as such is the |
T3:16.12 | to your new beginning. These temptations relate to everything you | fear to do because of the consequences your actions might bring. |
T3:16.16 | that was used to hold together the house of illusion was only your | fear. |
T3:19.1 | You must not | fear the changes that will occur within your physical form as it |
T3:19.1 | of the truth rather than the thought system of illusion. You will | fear these changes less if you realize that all that has come of love |
T3:19.1 | all that has come of love will be kept and that all that has come of | fear will fall away. You have no need to fear that the end of the |
T3:19.1 | that all that has come of fear will fall away. You have no need to | fear that the end of the special relationship will separate you from |
T3:19.1 | will separate you from your loved ones. You have no need to | fear that the joys you have shared with others will be no more. You |
T3:19.1 | have shared with others will be no more. You have no more need to | fear the loss of physical joys than you have to fear the loss of |
T3:19.1 | have no more need to fear the loss of physical joys than you have to | fear the loss of mental and spiritual joys. |
T3:19.4 | form has been blamed for choices made from lust and greed, hate and | fear, vengeance and retribution. These things have always had as |
T3:19.5 | 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 survival |
T3:19.7 | I will mention sexual union specifically here to put behind you any | fear that you may have that an end to sexual union may be called for. |
T3:19.8 | distinction that need be made: what comes of love and what comes of | fear. All expressions of love are of maximal benefit to everyone. |
T3:19.8 | not see that all that are not expressions of love are expressions of | fear, I assure you this is the case. Thus any behavior, including |
T3:19.8 | any behavior, including sexual behavior that is not of love, is of | fear. All that comes of fear is nothing. What this means is that |
T3:19.8 | sexual behavior that is not of love, is of fear. All that comes of | fear is nothing. What this means is that cause and effect are not |
T3:19.8 | means is that cause and effect are not influenced by what comes of | fear. You may still think that suffering and “bad” behavior have had |
T3:19.11 | in truth but only in illusion. To live in truth is to live without | fear of the meaningless acts of those living in illusion because they |
T4:1.1 | not be predictive. It will leave no one out. It will not appeal to | fear nor give you cause for fear. It will not be about tools or tell |
T4:1.1 | leave no one out. It will not appeal to fear nor give you cause for | fear. It will not be about tools or tell you that some have the tools |
T4:1.8 | may be a choice made regarding means or content, a choice made from | fear or made from love. But there is, in other words, no lack of |
T4:1.11 | are the only two choices, the choices between truth and illusion, | fear and love, unity and separation, now and later. What you must |
T4:1.13 | a fickle universe. What a perverse God. If an end to suffering and | fear has been possible, and is possible, why has it not come to be? |
T4:1.14 | a likely answer and one to assuage your guilt and uncertainty, your | fear of believing in yourself and in this time as the time to end all |
T4:1.22 | purpose. It is what has caused you to finally be ready to still your | fear, a fear that once prevented the direct and observable learning |
T4:1.22 | It is what has caused you to finally be ready to still your fear, a | fear that once prevented the direct and observable learning that now |
T4:2.4 | the state of the forgotten self, could not know God because of their | fear. I revealed a God of Love and the Holy Spirit provided for |
T4:2.29 | yourself into believing that you see love where there is cause for | fear. You must remember that you are now called to see without |
T4:2.29 | aware that you can only see in one of two ways—with love or | fear. |
T4:3.4 | intent can be simply stated as the displacement of love with | fear. It is as simple as that. Yet the way in which each of you have |
T4:3.5 | You may not feel that you have ever intended to live in | fear. But the displacement of the original intent was so complete |
T4:3.5 | of the original intent was so complete that each life has begun with | fear and proceeded from this beginning continually reacting to fear. |
T4:3.5 | with fear and proceeded from this beginning continually reacting to | fear. While the original intent remained within you and caused you to |
T4:3.5 | you and caused you to attempt to express a Self of love despite your | fear, fear has thwarted your every effort and caused the very effort |
T4:3.5 | caused you to attempt to express a Self of love despite your fear, | fear has thwarted your every effort and caused the very effort that |
T4:3.5 | effort and caused the very effort that has continued the cycle of | fear. To have to try to be who you are and to express who you are is |
T4:3.5 | result of the displacement of the nature of love with the nature of | fear. What we now are about is reversing this displacement and |
T4:3.6 | forever unable to return to your natural state of being. The | fear that was birthed along with the erroneously inherited idea that |
T4:3.6 | beyond it, including God, weighed and balanced against the idea of | fear. |
T4:3.7 | as we reverse this set of circumstances, and replace the world of | fear with a world of love, there can be no more weighing of love |
T4:3.7 | with a world of love, there can be no more weighing of love against | fear. God did not create fear and will not be judged by it. All |
T4:3.7 | can be no more weighing of love against fear. God did not create | fear and will not be judged by it. All judgment is the cause of fear |

T4:7.5 | or the reality of love without fear, it existed in a reality of | fear and judgment, and bound heart and body to this reality. Your |

T4:12.18 | not the idea of struggle take hold in the new. Let not the idea of | fear take hold in the new. Let not the idea of judgment take hold in |
T4:12.20 | yourself. You must constantly remember that doubt about yourself is | fear, and reject the instinct, so engrained into your singular |

T4:12.20 | cause for self-doubt because you have no cause for fear. To dwell in | fear will end your ability to dwell within the love that is |
T4:12.26 | Realize this without | fear, for I am with you. This is akin to being stranded in a foreign |
T4:12.34 | behind of the old, a willingness that included the leaving behind of | fear and judgment and a separate will, was necessary to begin |
T4:12.35 | known to us is that it will be a future of love, a future without | fear, a future with unlimited freedom. For what more could we ask? |
D:3.6 | strong, right and wrong. You learned from the contrast of love and | fear, sickness and health, life and death. In this time of Christ, |
D:3.6 | accept goodness and deny evil or even that you accept love and deny | fear. How can this be? |
D:4.6 | systems that developed when shape and form was given to what you | fear and what you believe will protect you. |
D:4.7 | deterrent. The thought of time in prison fills the mind with | fear. And yet those who are imprisoned often become so acclimated to |
D:4.22 | If you are lured away from who you are by a drive to succeed, if you | fear doing what you want to do because you might fail, if you follow |
D:4.26 | to you to accept that your release is possible, to desire it without | fear, to call it into being. |
D:5.20 | As you can see, you are now approaching another thought reversal. | Fear not that your confusion will last, for with this thought |
D:6.2 | —I compared the real to the unreal, the false to the true, | fear to love—in order to point out the insanity of your perception |
D:6.15 | about what is is a false certainty, a learned certainty based on the | fear that caused you to order the world according to a set of facts |
D:6.25 | learning. And with the extended life span came extended reasons for | fear, and a physical form that you came to believe needed greater and |
D:7.24 | his environment will come to an abrupt and painful end. Some even | fear an evolutionary setback, and see any threat against civilization |
D:7.25 | These scenarios of | fear we leave behind as we abandon ideas of evolution in time and |
D:Day2.8 | mountain. It is not the height you have attained that causes your | fear of falling. It is the depths to which you feel you once |
D:Day2.8 | depths to which you feel you once descended that calls forth your | fear here. |
D:Day3.21 | have more than you, you would consider a shaming act. You would | fear that they might think you want something from them and you would |
D:Day3.23 | those who always has “just enough,” little do others know that your | fear is as great as theirs. That while you admit you have “enough,” |
D:Day3.29 | if you really believe this, or if you are merely covering over your | fear of not having enough with an incessant drive to prove it is not |
D:Day4.38 | You must realize that here is where | fear must be totally replaced by love. If you fear to go where the |
D:Day4.38 | that here is where fear must be totally replaced by love. If you | fear to go where the portal of access will take you, you will not go. |
D:Day4.38 | you, you will not go. Thus your desire needs to be greater than your | fear. Love needs to reign. Love of self and love of your brothers and |
D:Day4.38 | be, all of these must come together and be victors over the reign of | fear. |

D:Day4.51 | to accept? All, all you cannot bring forward with you is fear, for | fear is the cause of the state of learning. You may have thought |
D:Day4.51 | of continuing relationship, would not have been cause for | fear in and of itself. Had you still known relationship, fear could |
D:Day4.51 | cause for fear in and of itself. Had you still known relationship, | fear could not have separated you from truth and you would not have |
D:Day4.51 | you are here coming to know once again, which is why the time of | fear, and along with it the time of learning, can cease to be. |
D:Day4.52 | I have not so directly linked | fear and the time of learning before, but now you need to see their |
D:Day4.52 | see their connection, for if you do not, you will not realize that | fear is all that needs to be left behind. You will still think you |
D:Day4.53 | to move you through the layers of illusion that have disguised your | fear, to move you beyond false learning to the truth that only needs |
D:Day4.53 | that only needs to be accepted. If you can move forward without | fear, you can move forward. If you can move forward without fear, you |
D:Day4.53 | without fear, you can move forward. If you can move forward without | fear, you will move forward only with love. If you move forward only |
D:Day4.53 | have realized there is nothing unacceptable about who you are except | fear. |
D:Day4.54 | you can wholeheartedly desire to move forward with love and without | fear and that there is still anything that can hold you back. This is |
D:Day4.54 | acceptance was meant to show you! Nothing can hold you back except | fear! You do not have to be perfect—perfect is but a label, and all |
D:Day4.54 | delay. You only have to be accepting. Accepting of all that you are. | Fear is not a part of what you are, which is why it cannot remain |
D:Day4.55 | behind the time of wandering, seeking, learning. To leave behind | fear for the embrace of the love and safety of your true home. |
D:Day4.56 | to heart. To have the kind of discourse that can only be had without | fear. To truly experience relationship. It is from this beginning |
D:Day7.2 | saw yourself as separate and alone, you could not help but suffer | fear, loneliness, and all the ills that came from the base emotion of |
D:Day7.2 | loneliness, and all the ills that came from the base emotion of | fear. Fear is degenerating. Nothing about fear is life giving. You |

D:Day7.2 | You thus were given life only to have it become degenerated by | fear. |
D:Day7.3 | your Self. You are no longer denying unity. You have replaced | fear with love. Love is life giving and life supporting. There is |
D:Day7.5 | must accept, now, that the pattern of learning is an extension of | fear and be willing and vigilant in replacing it with a pattern of |
D:Day7.6 | Love replaces | fear and is life-generating rather than life-degenerating. Your |
D:Day7.6 | an attribute, but the effect of living from love rather than from | fear will have a major transformative effect on form in this time of |
D:Day7.7 | your ability to exist in the here and now in acceptance and without | fear. |
D:Day7.8 | in learning and separation. They exist in love. They do not exist in | fear. As with Christ-consciousness, you are moving from a place of |

D:Day7.9 | the condition of fear that led the body to exhibit the conditions of | fear in the time of learning. Thus it is the mind’s acceptance of |

D:Day8.13 | illusion, what would seem to be the “fact” of their gossip—to the | fear that feeds it, and beyond the fear to the love that will dispel |
D:Day8.13 | “fact” of their gossip—to the fear that feeds it, and beyond the | fear to the love that will dispel it. You are not called to walk away |
D:Day8.17 | of illusion would have been to accept the feelings generated by the | fear of the ego thought system or the bitterness of your heart. It |
D:Day8.21 | Now you must realize that you no longer have cause to | fear your feelings. They will no longer be the source of the |
D:Day9.6 | freedom is no more. Yet it is not an outward source that you must | fear or protect your freedom against. It is none other than yourself |
D:Day10.37 | causes, political causes. The cause of all these issues is | fear. The cause and effect of love is all that will replace these |
D:Day10.37 | cause and effect of love is all that will replace these causes of | fear with the means and end that will transform them along with you. |

D:Day13.7 | The same is true of all you would | fear, such as the suffering self. A suffering self, held within the |

D:Day14.7 | those things that were held in a “holding pattern” were based on | fear. You feared them because you did not understand them and could |

D:Day15.13 | to persist, remember that doubt is caused by fear. Examine what you | fear. Is it really the stones within your pool, or is it the |
D:Day15.13 | you know will be generated by the joining of spacious Selves? Do you | fear your power even though you have been told it cannot be misused? |
D:Day15.13 | unworthy and seek to keep your unworthiness hidden? Do you still | fear being known? |
D:Day16.1 | is full consciousness. Acceptance is key. You can’t accept what you | fear. |
D:Day16.9 | and expelled them, you would have seen that they were nothing to | fear. |
D:Day16.10 | You have no feelings that are bad. | Fear is not a feeling but a response to a feeling. Emotions are |
D:Day16.10 | responses. You have been told there are but two emotions, love and | fear. What this is really saying is that there are but two ways to |
D:Day16.10 | are but two ways to respond to what you feel—with love or with | fear. If you respond with fear you expel, project, and separate. If |
D:Day16.10 | to what you feel—with love or with fear. If you respond with | fear you expel, project, and separate. If you respond with love you |
D:Day16.10 | the opposite of holding onto what you have already responded to with | fear and made separate. There is no escape for there is only the |
D:Day16.13 | state of coming to know. What you would hold onto is based on | fear and expelled into solidity where you can keep your eyes upon |
D:Day16.14 | your responses. Consciousness thus does not include either love or | fear. This is because love is everything and fear is nothing. |
D:Day16.14 | include either love or fear. This is because love is everything and | fear is nothing. |
D:Day16.15 | and unloved, often referred to as hell or hell on earth. Love and | fear existed simultaneously as did paradise and hell. This became |
D:Day16.15 | up of paradise and love, to a world primarily made up of hell and | fear because as more was expelled from paradise, more was perceived |
D:Day16.15 | perceived as hellish or fearful. Less of love was extended. More of | fear was projected. |
D:Day19.12 | The | fear of losing the self is still the primary fear, even among those |
D:Day19.12 | The fear of losing the self is still the primary | fear, even among those who have never found the self. They fear |
D:Day19.12 | primary fear, even among those who have never found the self. They | fear losing the known to the unknown. The two ways of demonstration |
D:Day20.2 | have realized now your relationship with the unknown and ceased to | fear it. You are, perhaps, even eager now, to move beyond the known |
D:Day23.1 | to make known and thus you must be a being who knows love without | fear, joy without sorrow, and life everlasting. You must be this. A |
D:Day40.6 | because you experienced separation rather than differentiation, and | fear rather than love. |
D:Day40.8 | to become separate. In seeing the self as separate you have known | fear and have been forced to reconcile fear with love. Now, in coming |
D:Day40.8 | as separate you have known fear and have been forced to reconcile | fear with love. Now, in coming back to relationship and union with me |
D:Day40.12 | with attributes. As a separate being, your attributes were based on | fear. As a being in union and relationship, your attributes are based |
D:Day40.22 | As a separate being, you have been in a relationship with | fear. This relationship with fear is all that has provided the “I” of |
D:Day40.22 | you have been in a relationship with fear. This relationship with | fear is all that has provided the “I” of the separated self. But |

C:1.18 | of fear. This is all there is. This is the world you make. Love or | fear is your reality by your choice. A choice for love creates love. |
C:1.18 | that is real. A choice for love is a choice for heaven. A choice of | fear is hell. Neither are a place. They are a further reflection of |
C:4.5 | All fear ends when proof of your existence is established. All | fear is based on your inability to recognize love and thus who you |
C:5.30 | God cannot be seen in illusion nor known to those who fear him. All | fear is fear of relationships and thus fear of God. You can accept |
C:6.21 | to do to you? At best you see them as delusional. But what you | fear is disappointment. All that you have wished for and have not |
C:9.16 | but there are really only two emotions: one is fear, the other love. | Fear is thus the source of all illusion, love the source of truth. |

C:9.25 | this insane idea’s validity. It is your proof as well that a life of | fear is warranted. How could you not fear for the safety of a home as |
C:10.22 | no room for fear at all does not occur to it, for the absence of | fear is something it has never known. |
C:12.20 | of separation, the external aspect of life would not exist. Just as | fear is not real although it seems to be, separation is not real |

C:14.15 | or even accept that it is vanity, before you would call it fear. But | fear is what it is. |
C:14.28 | fear. Fear, through your own choice, replaces and discards love. | Fear is always strongest when you value something that you feel may |
C:17.14 | become part of the whole along with you. All that has proceeded from | fear is nothing, and has no existence apart from your own thoughts. |
C:25.5 | there is fear, love is hidden. Love is rejected when a choice for | fear is made. You cannot be without love, but you can reject love. |
C:26.7 | No | fear is greater than the fear of meaninglessness. And, as stated |

T3:16.12 | to do because of the consequences your actions might bring. These | fears rob you of your certainty and result in a lack of trust. The |

C:8.16 | truth. If your body and what lies within it are not who you are, you | feel as if you are left homeless. This feeling of homelessness is |

C:9.19 | to tell yourself is not present in your life. You look to others to | feel compassion for, to those living in countries torn by war or |
C:9.23 | to clarify the predicament in which you have placed yourself. You | feel lacking and so you want. You want and want and want. You truly |
C:9.35 | As long as you do not want to be forgiven you will not | feel the gentle touch of forgiveness upon you and your world. While |
C:9.39 | contentment and a sense of belonging. This is what will cause you to | feel as if your time here has not been in vain. You know that |
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 its control, who is the you |
C:10.1 | the hope of all healing. While the body seems to tell you what you | feel and bid you act in accordance with its feelings, how can this be |
C:10.2 | the thought of bodies joined in union closer than the union that you | feel with the body you call your own is indeed ridiculous. Joining |
C:10.9 | Be aware also of your desire for reward. As you | feel yourself becoming closer to God and your true Self, as you gain |
C:10.11 | you are pretending you are not a body, you can pretend you do not | feel the pain of a headache or the cold of a winter day, and this |
C:10.11 | or the cold of a winter day, and this pretending may even make you | feel a little less pain or a little less cold. But this attempt to |
C:10.12 | And to believe in something that you do not understand makes you | feel peculiar at the least and delusional at the worst. You want to |
C:10.27 | open sky above, of all the “others” traveling it with you. You will | feel more a part of everything rather than less, and be surprised by |
C:10.30 | self giving way to the expanded vision of the unified Self. As you | feel this happening, you will begin to be aware of feelings too that |
C:10.31 | in it despite your determination not to do so. Once you begin to | feel the effects of the experiment you will also encounter fear, |
C:10.31 | you will welcome back your tunnel vision with gratitude. You will | feel relieved that your feet still touch the ground and that the |
C:11.3 | begin in order to keep from failing one more time. Even those who | feel the power of these words within their hearts and vow to go |
C:11.4 | that the ideas of both success and failure are detrimental here. To | feel you have achieved success in learning what love is all about is |
C:11.10 | flaunt them before God, is all that makes your little separated self | feel powerful at all. |
C:11.14 | choice, though a lasting choice will be required before you will | feel the shift of cause and quit worrying about effect. For now what |
C:11.16 | to you quickly on the wings of angels, a fluttering your heart will | feel, for angels too are one with you. It may feel like loneliness |
C:11.16 | your heart will feel, for angels too are one with you. It may | feel like loneliness compounded for the brief instant you await its |
C:11.16 | loneliness compounded for the brief instant you await its coming and | feel the emptiness that has been opened for its coming. |
C:12.2 | You | feel a little duped at being told love is the answer. You feel a |
C:12.2 | You feel a little duped at being told love is the answer. You | feel a little chastised to be told you know love not. You feel a |
C:12.2 | You feel a little chastised to be told you know love not. You | feel a little deceived to think that love may not be limited to what |
C:13.1 | will never fully understand what unity means, but you will come to | feel what unity means, and this I promise you. This is what we work |
C:13.3 | spirit. Just let impressions come to you, and when they make you | feel like smiling know that you are feeling memory return. If, when |
C:13.4 | While you may desire to put what you | feel into words, this exercise is not about putting words on feelings |
C:13.5 | with it. While the feeling of love that washes over you from one may | feel like courage, and from another like gentleness, and while this |
C:13.5 | gentleness, and while this is all part of what you are encouraged to | feel, it is simply asked that you let the feelings come and with them |
C:13.7 | of spirit and to allow this awareness to abide within you. If you | feel resistance to attempting this exercise, remember that you |
C:14.2 | Is it not true that you have made an enemy of creation? Do you | feel part of it and at one with all within it? If not, you have made |
C:14.10 | love loves you in return, and if this attention is not provided you | feel you have cause for claiming wounds that cannot be healed and |
C:14.13 | could not. What makes this relationship stand out in your mind and | feel so painful in your memory of it is that it was quite real in a |
C:14.13 | sure of a relationship’s value to you. Anything that could make you | feel so joyous, so safe and warm and loved, could not help but hold a |
C:14.13 | In this you were correct. It was no illusion that caused you to | feel this way. This was not the love that passes for love in this |
C:14.19 | existing separately, but close enough that you can gaze upon it and | feel the benefit of its warmth because of its proximity. More than |
C:14.28 | love. Fear is always strongest when you value something that you | feel may be threatened. Love threatens most your specialness. Before |
C:15.4 | If within the small sphere of those they love they cannot be made to | feel special—and you along with them—then what is the point of |
C:15.5 | group, and your choices might affect your ability to make others | feel special in the way in which they have become accustomed to your |
C:19.20 | than ever before. To talk of going “back” will undoubtedly make you | feel impatient, but this is not a going back that will in any way |
C:20.1 | different from that which you have felt before. Your heart may even | feel as if it is stretching outward, straining heavenward, near to |
C:20.1 | its desire for union, a desire you do not understand but can surely | feel. |
C:20.2 | the universe, the all of all in whose embrace you literally exist. | Feel the gentleness and the love. Drink in the safety and the rest. |
C:20.10 | at last. With love surrounding you in arms that hold you close, you | feel the heartbeat of the world just beneath your resting head. It |
C:20.23 | this holiness is forgetting. Let yourself forget that you do not | feel holy and that the world does not appear to be sacred. Let your |
C:20.29 | cannot be contained, and it is not within your power to limit it. To | feel the holiness of the embrace is to release its power. While |
C:20.41 | of your Father’s perfect love for you. Look deep inside and | feel your heart’s gladness. Your construction was no mistake. You are |
C:21.3 | is eternity itself. It is the face of love, its texture, taste, and | feel. It is love conceptualized. It is an abstract rather than a |
C:21.3 | concept, even while having a seeming structure that your heart can | feel. Concepts that cannot be felt with your heart are of no use to |
C:21.3 | for comparisons, for there is no need to compare what your heart can | feel. When your heart can feel, you need no judgment to tell you the |
C:21.3 | is no need to compare what your heart can feel. When your heart can | feel, you need no judgment to tell you the difference between one |
C:22.7 | your daily life, where you experience those things that cause you to | feel or believe in a certain way—and it is at this point of |
C:22.12 | In contrast, the layered approach to intersection causes you to | feel as if external forces are bombarding you. These forces must pass |
C:22.23 | and have a wonderful part to play in a grand design. You will not | feel cheated by losing your separated self. You will feel free. |
C:22.23 | You will not feel cheated by losing your separated self. You will | feel free. |
C:23.23 | unlearn your beliefs. As you begin the process of unlearning you may | feel tested. You are not being tested but given opportunities for |
C:23.25 | keep your mind engaged and less resistant to unlearning. When you | feel resistance—and of course your mind will resist unlearning what |
C:23.26 | will lead to the conviction you have so long sought, you will indeed | feel tested and will try to take control of the learning situation. |
C:24.1 | be a time of weepiness and what you would term emotionalism. You may | feel as if everything makes you want to cry because everything will |
C:24.1 | you want to cry because everything will touch you, each lesson will | feel tender. Unlearning has no harshness about it. If you simply |
C:25.3 | You have faked confidence when you are uncertain, interest where you | feel indifference, knowledge of things about which you know nothing. |
C:25.5 | How can love always be present when you can undeniably | feel each and every absence of love? The problem is in the perceiver |
C:25.5 | problem is in the perceiver rather than the perceived. Each time you | feel a lack of love, it comes from within yourself. This lack of |
C:25.5 | aware that you want something, you are also becoming aware that you | feel you lack something. All feelings of lack are synonymous with |
C:25.6 | When you | feel a lack of love in others, you have projected your fear onto |
C:25.6 | your fear onto them. Only when you cease to do this will you | feel true devotion. |
C:25.7 | When you | feel lack of love, you feel as if the “other” gives you nothing. Yet |
C:25.7 | When you feel lack of love, you | feel as if the “other” gives you nothing. Yet it is your lack of |
C:25.9 | have integrated the most basic teaching of this Course and no longer | feel duped by life. All of your contests of will are supported by |
C:25.13 | It is simply your reality. During the time of tenderness you may | feel vulnerable. But the time of tenderness is a time of healing, and |
C:25.13 | seen disappointment as attack or hopelessness as hurt, but you do | feel these emotions as wounds. While you think you can remain |
C:25.19 | This is unlearning taking place. It may | feel frustrating and be tinged with anxiety, anger, confusion, |
C:25.21 | This will be a time of discernment. You may | feel it as a time of decision making, but the less you attempt to |
C:25.22 | that does not necessarily require action on your part, you will | feel some relief. |
C:25.23 | of discernment. You will know you have succeeded when you truly | feel as if you have “turned the question or concern over” and allowed |
C:26.1 | or influential friends. We have talked before of the tragedy you | feel when anyone dies young. You each have some notion of what you |
C:26.6 | Do you | feel beautiful and prized and worthy? Then so shall you be. |
C:26.7 | imaginings. You are thus caught in a double bind, living a life you | feel is devoid of meaning and letting fear keep you from seeking the |
C:26.7 | fear keep you from seeking the meaning you would give it. You | feel no inherent sense of purpose, no grace, no meaning beyond what |
C:26.18 | You may experience disappointment at these words, and | feel as if you have been waiting to be invited to a party and that |
C:26.25 | attempt to control what you do not believe you created, and what you | feel deprived of creating. As a being birthed by a thought of God, |
C:27.10 | relationship to you only exist as relationship? You think it is, and | feel yourself further diminished and lacking in identity just by |
C:27.20 | you are living in relationship? You will know by the certainty you | feel. If you do not feel this certainty, what can you do? |
C:27.20 | relationship? You will know by the certainty you feel. If you do not | feel this certainty, what can you do? |
C:28.11 | know and worry not of what to do. This is a difficult stage as you | feel obligated and inspired to act and yet awkward in your actions. |
C:28.12 | Again, as when you | feel the need to convince others of your belief, the need to give |
C:31.2 | to you as the idea of sharing one mind. Your thoughts, you | feel, are your own, private and sacrosanct. These highly guarded and |
C:31.19 | to help you remember who you are. Those things about which you | feel guilt and shame are simply the remnants of lessons unlearned. |
T1:1.3 | been provided within A Course of Love. That your learning does not | feel complete is not a failing of this Course or of yourself. That |
T1:1.3 | a failing of this Course or of yourself. That your learning does not | feel complete is the result of forgetfulness, which is the opposite |
T1:2.13 | to see the play of clouds among the descending rays, perhaps to | feel the warmth or chill of an evening. The whole experience might |
T1:3.9 | you request a small miracle and it comes true, how awful you would | feel that you had not requested a bigger miracle. You will almost |
T1:3.9 | feel that you had not requested a bigger miracle. You will almost | feel panic at the thought of such a choice being put before you. If |
T1:4.10 | Think of all you now | feel responsible for and this lesson will become more clear. While |
T1:4.16 | response to who you are. What might such a response sound like? | Feel like? Look like? It is a response of pure appreciation and love. |
T1:4.17 | you time, or seems in accord with your own views. Others of you | feel it necessary to interpret everything on your own. Without |
T1:5.6 | as fearful of the all of everything as of the void of nothing. You | feel as if you are headed toward “something” from somewhere but |
T1:5.6 | headed toward “something” from somewhere but neither here nor there | feel completely real to you. The lucky among you have made of this |
T1:5.7 | This in-between place is your comfort zone and, although you | feel compelled to push at its edges, this pushing simply leaves the |
T1:9.15 | way through, argue, manipulate, or chastise another so that you | feel better in relationship to the other in the situation or event. |
T1:9.15 | reaction might be one of self-pity, of making oneself or another | feel guilty, or of experiencing a sense of diminished self-esteem or |
T1:9.15 | a sense of diminished self-esteem or worthiness. The first will | feel like an intellectual position. The second like a feeling |
T1:10.2 | of extremes as a lack. You will think something is wrong. You will | feel this particularly when others around you experience extremes. A |
T1:10.3 | the most profound sorrow or the most all-encompassing joy, you will | feel inhuman. You will think that this cannot be where you are meant |
T1:10.3 | that this cannot be where you are meant to be, what you are meant to | feel. You will wonder what is wrong with you. |
T1:10.7 | is no reason not to take joy in observing another’s happiness or to | feel compassion at another’s suffering. But you need not partake and |
T1:10.8 | to God not seeing suffering. God exists with you in peace. When you | feel peace, you feel the Peace of God. There is no other peace. There |
T1:10.8 | suffering. God exists with you in peace. When you feel peace, you | feel the Peace of God. There is no other peace. There is no other |
T2:1.8 | to be viewed as a place at which you can arrive. Like peace, it may | feel like a bubble of protection, something that sets you apart from |
T2:2.2 | a calling is spoken of in lofty terms. Few outside of those who | feel they have a calling for something beyond their ordinary, |
T2:2.9 | than a division between mind and heart. Some of you would say you | feel no calling, or that you feel many. Others would cite practical |
T2:2.9 | and heart. Some of you would say you feel no calling, or that you | feel many. Others would cite practical reasons for doing other than |
T2:2.9 | Others would cite practical reasons for doing other than what they | feel called to do. All of these ideas illustrate your belief that |
T2:4.11 | concerning calling as you apply them to yourself. Whether you | feel that you a have a specific calling, no calling, or many |
T2:4.12 | but are rather asked to listen from within that peace to what you | feel called to do. This is not about the past and all those things |
T2:4.14 | Now you may | feel as if this Treatise has led around in a circle, bringing you |
T2:4.18 | not have to “wait” to hear your calling even though some of you may | feel as if you are in a time of waiting for you hear no such call. |
T2:5.1 | in a call to action. We have talked heretofore about a calling you | feel from within, as if you are listening to a new voice that would |
T2:7.1 | of dependency that you consider its opposite. To be independent, you | feel as if you must rely only on yourself. Thus the connotation of |
T2:7.2 | the withholding of things you deem important. This fear that you | feel in relation to others is as true of those you hold most dear to |
T2:7.7 | pattern of behavior will be quick to assert itself and you will | feel resentment and claim that the situation is unfair. You will be |
T2:7.13 | dependence. You will not accept giving and receiving as one if you | feel able only to give or as if “others” have nothing you would |
T2:8.2 | Remember now that there is no loss but only gain, or you will | feel threatened by what you will imagine to be loss. Remember too the |
T2:9.4 | of a need to a person or system or organization. You as often | feel indebted as you feel grateful for the meeting of needs. When |
T2:9.4 | person or system or organization. You as often feel indebted as you | feel grateful for the meeting of needs. When your life is running |
T2:9.4 | met, you begin to want to hang on to the relationships that you | feel met these needs because of their ability to meet them. When your |
T2:9.5 | you identify “having” in regards to possessions, you but continue to | feel as if you “have” needs even long after they have been met. Since |
T2:9.11 | As soon as you are content or self-satisfied, or, in other words, | feel your needs are met, the desire to hang on to what you have |
T2:10.3 | or an attempt to recall a specific event. At such times, you often | feel as if, just as the memory is about to return to you, it is |
T2:10.3 | has this information gone and what keeps it from you? You might | feel frustrated with your memory at such a time and even say |
T2:10.18 | subject matter. When life does not go as you have planned, you | feel as if your chosen path has been denied to you. You often feel a |
T2:10.18 | you feel as if your chosen path has been denied to you. You often | feel a sense of loss and rarely one of gain. Unless life goes the way |
T2:10.18 | Unless life goes the way you have intended for it to go, you do not | feel gifted or blessed even when you may have looked back often on |
T2:11.15 | ego is real. As long as you believe that the ego is real, you will | feel as if there are two identities that exist within you and you |
T2:12.5 | While you continue to | feel as if you do not understand miracles, you will be reluctant to |
T2:12.14 | without you, in all you are and all you are in relationship with. | Feel the embrace and the love that is this unity and know that it is |
T3:8.4 | before it. These beliefs hold the seeds of bitterness, the angst you | feel towards God and brothers and sisters both alive and dead. |
T3:8.6 | blame them for their illness? Do you not look upon all suffering and | feel bitter at your own inability to relieve it? And do you not thus |
T3:10.10 | You will | feel for a while as if constant certainty is impossible. This feeling |
T3:11.2 | Those existing within the House of Truth also | feel an awareness of Self. Without necessarily being able to put it |
T3:11.2 | Without necessarily being able to put it into words, they no longer | feel the statement of “I am” as a statement of the personal self or |
T3:13.2 | a self of human experience, or a personal self. While you may still | feel a connection to God during such times, you will not be dwelling |

T3:14.10 | is the time to let them go. If you have read the paragraph above and | feel it is fine for some others not to regret their choices but not |
T3:14.10 | to leave this blaming of yourself behind, no matter what it is you | feel you have need to blame yourself for. You would not be here if |
T3:14.11 | If these regrets and blame have to do with yourself you may not | feel as if you have the right to let them go. If you do not feel as |
T3:14.11 | may not feel as if you have the right to let them go. If you do not | feel as if you have the right to let them go, you are choosing to |
T3:15.13 | in order to return you to your Self. Despite whatever method you | feel you used to learn what you have learned, what this Course did |
T3:16.4 | Although you may still | feel confused and lacking in ability to do what I am asking of you, I |
T3:16.4 | confused and lacking in ability to do what I am asking of you, I | feel confident in also saying that you are more content and happy, |
T3:16.4 | has been instilled within you, a hope for the very changes that you | feel you need in order to reflect, within your daily life, the new |
T3:16.10 | human experience. This will relate to all situations in which you | feel you have something to gain from some “other.” Again, this will |
T3:16.10 | others having more than you have, or to desires that you may | feel have gone unfulfilled. While you may think that this means you |
T3:19.10 | will be different in many ways, none of which will lead you to | feel that you have lost anything of value to you. |
T3:20.6 | is the most common observance in such a circumstance. You might | feel called to tears, to words that acknowledge how “bad” the illness |
T3:20.6 | you would think, could not be seen as anything but “bad.” You cannot | feel anything but “sorry” for the one suffering. Yet you are always |
T3:21.11 | experiences of your lifetime are the things upon which you draw to | feel the certainty you feel about your personal self. You identify |
T3:21.11 | are the things upon which you draw to feel the certainty you | feel about your personal self. You identify yourself as male or |
T3:21.15 | and ideas about the world you live in and the “type” of person you | feel you have chosen to be within that world. Whether you have given |
T3:22.2 | leaders to amass followers, I do not mean to dissuade any of you who | feel a call to represent this Course and the teachings of this Course |
T3:22.2 | and the teachings of this Course with your lives and work. Those who | feel this call are surely needed. And each of you will find the |
T3:22.2 | of ways to share what you have learned. You will almost certainly | feel eagerness to share it and joy whenever and wherever you are able |
T4:1.13 | And yet, as many of you have come instinctively to | feel, something is different now. You are beginning to become excited |
T4:1.23 | been so clearly able to see the contrast between good and evil and | feel now as if these distinctions have become more and more obscure. |
T4:2.11 | man into space and the one who desires to best a sporting record may | feel no desire to follow the first man into space and vice versa, and |
T4:2.23 | that develop with acquaintances or strangers, connections that | feel real with like-minded associates for brief periods of time, but |
T4:2.29 | still think of observance of what is as a game of make believe and | feel that you will have to trick yourself into believing that you see |
T4:3.5 | You may not | feel that you have ever intended to live in fear. But the |
T4:12.9 | experience sharing directly. If a time arrives when you no longer | feel drawn to these modes of sharing, share anew in ever-wider |
T4:12.19 | sharing in unity 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 |
D:1.17 | and reviewed again. They can be used as continuing lessons until you | feel that learning is fully accomplished. They can serve as reminders |
D:1.19 | or transcriber, of this Dialogue, this Dialogue may, in truth, | feel like a dialogue, an exchange, a conversation, and wonder how |
D:1.19 | a conversation, and wonder how you, as a reader of these words, can | feel that same way. You can feel that same way by realizing that you |
D:1.19 | how you, as a reader of these words, can feel that same way. You can | feel that same way by realizing that you are, as you read these |
D:1.22 | teacher is available for none is needed. And yet many of you still | feel what you would describe as a need for continued learning and a |
D:2.5 | or engineer—and to begin to live that new identity. To continue to | feel a need to learn rather than realizing that the time of learning |
D:3.21 | that this is just the first step revealed and that many of you will | feel already as if you are being asked to learn again and not only |
D:4.2 | you saw during the time of learning, differences that made you | feel as if each being stood separate and alone, you are now called to |
D:4.12 | your belief. Despite the differences in what you see, think, and | feel, there is but one external divine pattern that created the |
D:4.20 | Do not long for its old structure or the false security you came to | feel at times within it. Do not look for a new structure with barred |
D:4.22 | for your newfound freedom. A hungry ex-prisoner may soon come to | feel the three meals a day provided in the prison were gifts indeed. |
D:4.22 | indeed. So too are the gifts many of you have desired and still | feel as if you need. If you have imprisoned yourself in order to earn |
D:4.24 | and received. Become the author of your own life. Live it as you | feel called to live it. |
D:4.26 | may find that it is attitude more so than circumstance, or you may | feel as if the walls that imprison you are so sturdy and so long |
D:4.31 | and sisters in Christ, I hear your protests and the reasons that you | feel must prevent you from the acceptance I call you to. Yet as you |
D:8.13 | surprised, however, if no shaft of light descends upon you, if you | feel as if you have taken that step and yet remain unchanged. When |
D:9.7 | As we continue, you may | feel as if contradictory things are being said, such as being called |
D:10.4 | reality, is not of union but of the individual self. You may | feel that to think of this in any other way will leave you with no |
D:13.5 | natural to you, it will seem so foreign at times that you will | feel “blinded” by the light of knowing. You will realize that you |
D:13.11 | and who you know others to be. All this means is that while you may | feel unable to share or express all that comes to you from unity, and |
D:13.11 | share or express all that comes to you from unity, and while you may | feel unable to share or express the authority and truth you know it |
D:15.21 | behind the conditions of learning, a step from which you at times | feel as if you are still reeling. |
D:16.9 | you are being something. You are alive. You have form. You think and | feel. You have even been told that you would cease to be without the |
D:16.12 | thought that even though you may be done with learning, you don’t | feel quite complete, or possibly even feel as if learning has not |
D:16.12 | done with learning, you don’t feel quite complete, or possibly even | feel as if learning has not quite been accomplished in you. This is |
D:16.14 | being, and expression of unity, you are whole and complete, you | feel no lack, no uncertainty, no doubt. You are confident in what you |
D:16.16 | patterns of the time of learning, all of the moments in which you | feel an inability to join in union, and in which you recognize still |
D:17.7 | too has caused your arms to raise as if of their own accord. You | feel the power of giving and receiving as one, for this is what this |
D:17.15 | have now turned to your heart, instead of to your thinking, that you | feel both fulfillment and desire. But my earlier questions seemed to |
D:17.19 | desire has passed and been replaced by reverence. To revere is to | feel awe, which, it has been stated, is due nothing and no one but |
D:Day2.8 | that causes your fear of falling. It is the depths to which you | feel you once descended that calls forth your fear here. |
D:Day3.6 | This is the area that you call money and that I call abundance. | Feel your body’s reaction to this statement. Some of you will feel |
D:Day3.6 | Feel your body’s reaction to this statement. Some of you will | feel excitement at the idea of this issue being finally discussed; |
D:Day3.7 | a spiritual context for your life can change your life, make you | feel more peaceful, give you comfort of a non-physical nature. These |
D:Day3.18 | yet envied. This resentment and envy fills you with anger. If you | feel any anger now, pay attention to its effect on you. You can feel, |
D:Day3.18 | you feel any anger now, pay attention to its effect on you. You can | feel, perhaps, the strain and tension in your stomach, back and neck. |
D:Day3.19 | than that of your brothers and sisters. A few of you will not | feel this, and if you are among those few, do not skip past this |
D:Day3.20 | heartaches or mistaken actions is any greater than the shame those | feel who feel no abundance, who suffer a lack of money. There is |
D:Day3.20 | or mistaken actions is any greater than the shame those feel who | feel no abundance, who suffer a lack of money. There is still a |
D:Day3.21 | and general fretting are done, but only to the degree in which you | feel you are in the same circumstances of those to whom you complain. |
D:Day3.21 | who has less might open the door for a request for what you do not | feel you have to give. To reach a position in which you feel you need |
D:Day3.21 | you do not feel you have to give. To reach a position in which you | feel you need to ask for money from others, even from a bank, is seen |
D:Day3.26 | Do not | feel dejected that you have not learned these things. They were |
D:Day3.29 | And those of you who scoff at these remarks, because you | feel you have learned the secret of money, the secret of success: |
D:Day3.30 | are not any of you, those who have money or those who have none, who | feel that your financial “health” is any more secure than the |
D:Day3.31 | and an eye upon the bank account? Even those of you who would | feel prepared to let it bring you joy would err in thinking that it |
D:Day3.34 | to address you in an in-between tone, one that will not cause you to | feel spoken down to or incite your hostility. One that will not only |
D:Day3.48 | These words are just what you may have expected to hear, and you may | feel a return of feelings of anger here. But we have said that there |
D:Day3.50 | may have many good and even inspired ideas within this time. You may | feel as if you are on the right track, that through the planning out |
D:Day4.3 | How can you | feel as if you have a choice when the temptations of the human |
D:Day4.13 | exists is no more comforting than consoling words if you do not | feel you have access to this place. It is like being told that all of |
D:Day4.25 | still available to you, even within your religious institutions. You | feel, perhaps, that you did not try hard enough, or pay enough |
D:Day4.43 | you have once again become a glutton of want, when you once again | feel the lack that you would pray for? Surely this you can do, for I |
D:Day4.52 | of denial contrary to the denial asked of you, or because you still | feel like bargaining with God. These things are only reactions to |
D:Day4.58 | to the old, the attachments that cause some of you to continue to | feel sadness, anger, depression, or nostalgia for the way things |
D:Day5.5 | heart, or some mid-point just beyond the body. It may, for some, | feel like a connection that arises from the earth and as if it is |
D:Day5.5 | and as if it is just below the form of the physical body. Some could | feel it in their hands and others as if it comes directly from their |
D:Day5.12 | remains the case, you may desire to give others what you have and | feel unable to do so. Yet, like love, unity is known through its |
D:Day5.16 | A “healer” for instance, might, thus, | feel her access point as being the hands and express what is gained |
D:Day6.2 | you know this is the focus of our time together, few, if any of you, | feel as if you have truly taken leave of the everyday world of your |
D:Day6.2 | taken leave of the everyday world of your “normal” existence and | feel fully present on the holy mountain. This is not a second-best |
D:Day6.18 | or will be changing the very fabric of your daily life. Changes you | feel called to make are not discouraged here. The point being made is |
D:Day6.26 | know this or you would not be here. You know this or you would not | feel the devotion to me and to what we do here that you do. And |
D:Day6.26 | to me and to what we do here that you do. And what’s more, you | feel the eagerness of your brothers and sisters. If you felt our goal |
D:Day6.26 | would elevate only a few and leave all others behind, you would not | feel this devotion. You know our task is holy and incomparable. You |
D:Day6.29 | this seeming paradox. You have been told to do only what you can | feel peaceful doing, to do only what allows you to be yourself, and |
D:Day6.30 | Do you need to | feel desire for what you do in order to do it peacefully? Do you need |
D:Day7.5 | of acceptance. I say this because so many of you still do not | feel supported in your daily life. You may feel supported in your |
D:Day7.5 | many of you still do not feel supported in your daily life. You may | feel supported in your spiritual life, in your progress toward full |
D:Day7.5 | self of form, but as in the discussion of abundance, you may still | feel unsupported in form. Realize now, that this makes no sense when |
D:Day8.2 | to remove yourself from life. All those frustrations you currently | feel have a purpose: To move you through them and beyond them—to |
D:Day8.3 | “normal life?” Called to accept those conditions that have made you | feel unhappy? No! You are being called to an acceptance of new |
D:Day8.4 | you don’t like. Then, and only then—when you have accepted how you | feel—can you respond truly. Only when you have accepted how you |
D:Day8.4 | feel—can you respond truly. Only when you have accepted how you | feel do you quit labeling good or bad; only then can you deal with |
D:Day8.12 | love, leads to acceptance of others. Knowing this aspect of how you | feel, what we are here calling your dislikes, is but a first step in |
D:Day8.16 | predetermine either your likes or dislikes. Being aware of how you | feel in the present moment is the only way to certainty. Thus to say |
D:Day8.20 | where the true Self will be more evolved, evolved enough not to | feel the anger or hurt, the bitterness or guilt that you do not like. |
D:Day9.4 | You who do not | feel confident in your feelings, who do not feel confident in your |
D:Day9.4 | You who do not feel confident in your feelings, who do not | feel confident in your ability to respond, who do not as yet feel the |
D:Day9.4 | do not feel confident in your ability to respond, who do not as yet | feel the freedom of the new, allow yourself now, to do so. Allow |
D:Day9.6 | can block the freedom of what your mind would think or heart would | feel. But take away the ability to express what the mind would think |
D:Day9.6 | away the ability to express what the mind would think or heart would | feel, and freedom is no more. Yet it is not an outward source that |
D:Day10.14 | look for reassurances and proof that you are “right” before you | feel confidence and the ability to act. To “know” before you act is |
D:Day10.15 | and consider our need for a distinction between the certainty you | feel from unity and the confidence you need to feel in the self of |
D:Day10.15 | the certainty you feel from unity and the confidence you need to | feel in the self of form. Reflect further on your idea of certainty |
D:Day10.23 | of this as the wisdom of an outside source, if you can hear it and | feel it and think of it as a true dialogue, a true sharing in |
D:Day10.29 | the many situations there are to dislike in the world? Do they not | feel for the suffering? Do they not dislike poverty? Are they not |
D:Day10.39 | to give and give newly now, to you. Blessed brother and sister, we | feel the same love, the same compassion, the same tenderness for each |
D:Day12.6 | yourself that space has replaced what was once your self of form. | Feel the love of the space that is you. All obstacles will vanish. |
D:Day15.13 | power even though you have been told it cannot be misused? Do you | feel unworthy and seek to keep your unworthiness hidden? Do you still |
D:Day15.16 | that Christ-consciousness is a form of “group think.” Never will you | feel more like an individual than when you are made known through the |
D:Day15.17 | dialogue is. Many resist this stage of development because they | feel they have achieved inner knowing. They may still consider |
D:Day15.17 | still consider themselves to be capable of growing and changing, but | feel, in a certain sense, that it is unnecessary. They have achieved |
D:Day16.10 | really saying is that there are but two ways to respond to what you | feel—with love or with fear. If you respond with fear you expel, |
D:Day16.10 | are bad. You embrace sadness, grief, anger, and all else that you | feel because these feelings are part of who you are in the present |
D:Day16.11 | “decision” rather than your “feeling” is only confirmed. When you | feel uneasy or uncomfortable about a situation, you determine that |
D:Day16.12 | When you | feel an “intuition” you respond differently than you do to unwanted |
D:Day18.4 | the way for those who desire to bring expression to a calling they | feel within to “do” something. It is the way for those whose |
D:Day18.4 | this. The universe is comprised of no superfluous elements. What you | feel called to is needed. |
D:Day19.1 | world and accomplish certain functions within the world. You perhaps | feel function-less and purposeless at times, while at other times, |
D:Day19.1 | function-less and purposeless at times, while at other times, you | feel as if you are being exactly as you are meant to be. |
D:Day22.6 | put it into words, make it into images, tell it in a story? You will | feel as if you will burst if you cannot share the union that you |
D:Day28.15 | Most people | feel at least some combination of these two attitudes, but will find |
D:Day32.12 | Yet to believe that God is everyone can still make you | feel as if you are not God. How can this be? This can be only because |
D:Day35.6 | we have achieved here. You will carry it within you, and when you | feel not its power, you will be able to call it forth simply by |
D:Day35.21 | of having at least some role in the creation of your life. You may | feel that at times God has intervened, or that at times you have been |
D:Day36.14 | power—this power of being—has always been yours. The power to | feel—love, hate, anger, compassion, greed, humility, and longing— |
D:Day37.16 | somewhat like your relationship with a deceased relative in that you | feel a bond, a link between heaven and earth, and even some |
D:Day37.18 | like an individuated being, a unique being. You “feel” love and you | feel pain, and both feel quite unmistakably like “your” love and |
D:Day37.18 | being, a unique being. You “feel” love and you feel pain, and both | feel quite unmistakably like “your” love and “your” pain and no one |
D:Day37.18 | unmistakably like “your” love and “your” pain and no one else’s. You | feel like a “you.” This too is “who” you have been being, because as |
D:Day37.18 | “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 separation can |
D:Day37.18 | But here again, you have felt only as a being in separation can | feel. You know that despite how often someone says they “know how you |
D:Day37.18 | you are not them. You can join in relationship with others who | feel similarly and can find great joy in feeling “as if” someone |
D:Day37.18 | and can find great joy in feeling “as if” someone knows how you | feel and who you are. But you have felt doomed to never being known |
D:Day37.18 | felt doomed to never being known and to never really sharing how you | feel. |
D:Day37.22 | of God should thus not leave you feeling bereft of a God you can | feel close to, appeal to, thank and praise. But doing so can also be |
D:Day38.2 | of love, but now it is time to return to love. Do you know, can you | feel as yet, how much I love you? How full of love I am for you? |
D:Day38.3 | attention, I ask you to be attentive, to the relationship that you | feel with God. |
D:Day39.48 | is what we do and who we are? That we are creators? That we think, | feel, know, and create. Creation is the manifestation of all we |
D:Day39.48 | know, and create. Creation is the manifestation of all we think, | feel, know and come to know. Because we are constantly creating, we |
D:Day40.33 | within you? Will you be one with me, and in being one with me never | feel alone again? Will you let the emptiness of separation leave you |
E.2 | make no sense to you. They already have far less power. Can you not | feel it? The questions remain only as questions of the old patterns |
A.9 | Now you may | feel quite compelled to share your experience of the Course with |
A.15 | ego mind and back to wholeheartedness or Christ-mind. “How do you | feel?” is a more appropriate question than, “What do you think?” The |
A.18 | we seek to bypass this difficulty as much as possible, but each will | feel it to some degree, the precise degree to which they are capable |
A.23 | union. There is no cause to delay the movement of the group or to | feel anything but gentleness toward those who cannot at this time |
A.27 | thoughts and behavior that are most deeply entrenched in them. They | feel in need of assistance! |
A.30 | individual along at her own pace. Comparisons may arise and some may | feel they are not advancing as quickly as others, while those moving |
A.30 | not advancing as quickly as others, while those moving quickly may | feel in need of time to catch their breath! |
A.31 | movement or lack thereof, to read the Treatises together will likely | feel as if it is almost a waste of valuable time. Thus, gatherings of |
A.33 | Group members may wonder if they are missing something. They may | feel as if they have not experienced unity or as if they are no |
A.33 | or as if they are no closer to knowing themselves or God. They may | feel as if this Course of study that seemed to be working so well for |
A.39 | moment of every day, in all that you encounter, in all that you | feel. It is a time of true revelation in which you are revealed to |

C:8.21 | is your natural home and heaven to your soul. On other days your | feeling will be quite the opposite, and you will wonder where you |

C:20.16 | There is no longer cause for alienation, nor for the | feeling of abandonment so many of you have felt. You are now within |
C:20.44 | them. To serve rather than to use is an enormous change in thinking, | feeling, and acting. It will immediately make the world a kinder, |
C:22.22 | As odd and impersonal as it will seem at first, I assure you the | feeling of impersonality will be replaced quickly with an intimacy |
C:25.4 | imitations of love are immediately felt. You may choose to deny the | feeling, but you cannot prevent it from occurring. You can attempt to |
C:25.7 | nothing. Yet it is your lack of ability to receive that causes this | feeling. The practice of devotion is a means by which you can purify |
C:25.20 | a desire to create anew. At this stage, this desire will come from a | feeling of needing to reassert the self. This need will arise as you |
C:25.22 | Practice discernment by being still and awaiting wisdom. Your | feeling of being identity-less will make decision-making and choices |

T2:1.4 | exploring your internal treasure is now unnecessary. You may well be | feeling a sense of relief in having learned that who you are right |
T2:7.19 | Does this mean that you are required to express every thought and | feeling that comes your way? No, but this does mean that you bring |
T2:9.7 | what needs to be done in order to survive is hardly the same as | feeling that one has a need. Needs are the domain of the thinking |

D:Day2.8 | Part of this | feeling arises from erroneous ideas that remain regarding your |
D:Day2.8 | ideas that remain regarding your unworthiness. Part of this | feeling arises from the erroneous idea that you can fail, even here. |
D:Day3.8 | that having a spiritual context for your life will assist you in | feeling more loved and possibly even assist you in finding some one |
D:Day3.8 | one to love. You may believe that this spirituality can help mend a | feeling of broken-heartedness, can cause you to extend forgiveness to |
D:Day3.8 | who hurt you, to make amends to those you hurt, or to simply quit | feeling guilty or bitter, shamed or rejected because of them. But you |

D:Day8.18 | of the perceived higher path to enlightenment. In denying your own | feelings you will tend also to deny the feelings of others. You will |
D:Day8.18 | In denying your own feelings you will tend also to deny the | feelings of others. You will think that you know the real from the |

D:Day8.18 | you allow yourself to deny and thus become distanced from your own | feelings. |
D:Day8.19 | the truth, to see beyond illusion, and then to be told to accept the | feelings of others? It should not. While true compassion sees only |
D:Day8.19 | true compassion sees only the truth, this does not mean it holds the | feelings of anyone—not those living in truth, or those living in |
D:Day8.19 | not living in the present. Distancing, or non-acceptance of your own | feelings, is not living in the present and will create an attitude |

D:Day8.21 | is certainty. This is all that will prevent you from “reacting” to | feelings out of your previous pattern. |
D:Day8.27 | that you do not like will pull you from union toward separation. All | feelings of non-acceptance lead to a feeling of needing to learn “how |

D:Day9.4 | You who do not feel confident in your | feelings, who do not feel confident in your ability to respond, who |
D:Day9.7 | is not quite true. You know that you censor your own thoughts and | feelings, accepting some and not others. You know you have repressed |

D:Day10.5 | are tied to your feelings and thus we will return to a discussion of | feelings in connection with the ideas of confidence, reliance, and |
D:Day10.6 | Confidence in your | feelings will lead to confidence in your Self. While you think it is |
D:Day10.7 | The | feelings that lead you to either a state of confidence or to a state |
D:Day10.10 | to come more as thought than as feeling, but even so, it is your | feelings about such thoughts that will often determine how you act |
D:Day10.11 | thought, and intuition is different than rational thought, as are | feelings of all kinds. You think of feelings either as that which |
D:Day10.11 | than rational thought, as are feelings of all kinds. You think of | feelings either as that which comes to you through your five senses |
D:Day10.11 | your five senses or as emotions, and you have not trusted in these | feelings as much as you have trusted in rational thought. This lack |
D:Day10.11 | of the mind you call rational. It works against you because all | feelings are capable of providing what you have called intuitive |
D:Day10.12 | Feelings come from the innate knowing of the self of form—in short, | |
D:Day10.13 | of your personal self, you still hold inaccurate ideas about the | feelings of the personal self. This is because your image of the |
D:Day10.13 | because your image of the personal self is based on the past and the | feelings of the past. This is also because your image of the personal |
D:Day10.14 | Because you believe that your | feelings have misled you in the past, you now still doubt your |

D:Day10.14 | To “know” before you act is wise. But to think that doubting your | feelings or seeking outside assurances of what you know will lead to |
D:Day10.25 | let me spend my final time with you as the man Jesus talking more of | feelings. |
D:Day10.26 | unlikely that in your image of an ideal self you left much room for | feelings of the type you currently experience. This is why we have |
D:Day10.26 | things which you dislike—why we have spoken, in short, of the | feelings you would think would have no place within the ideal self or |
D:Day10.29 | their feeling compassion and mercy, and of their acting upon those | feelings by championing the cause of good over that of evil or of the |
D:Day10.30 | act as these people have, but I am calling you to acknowledge that | feelings are involved at every level of every being you can imagine. |
D:Day10.30 | of, not about what you think. And you are very much aware of your | feelings. |
D:Day10.31 | If you are being called to acknowledge these | feelings, what are you being called to do with them? You are being |
D:Day10.32 | to and with. But this response will not be generated without the | feelings that precede them! When speaking of gossip we used a simple |
D:Day10.33 | any one side over another. Turn not to your thoughts but to your | feelings and go where they lead. And everywhere they lead you, |
D:Day10.37 | But these issues, when removed from | feelings, still remain issues. They remain social causes, |
D:Day10.38 | now, even in this final address to you as the man Jesus, to speak of | feelings without addressing the grand scheme of things. I want to |
D:Day10.38 | I want to tell you to be embraced by love and to let all the | feelings of love flowing through you now find their expression. I |
D:Day10.38 | you and what you want to hear. I know you have long waited for your | feelings to be addressed in a more personal way. But please remember |
D:Day10.38 | that none of the approaches that have been used to “address” your | feelings in the way you might desire have worked. This will work. |
D:Day12.1 | Now we listen to | feelings. Now we listen to feelings and understand what they have to |
D:Day12.1 | Now we listen to feelings. Now we listen to | feelings and understand what they have to say to us. Now we listen |

D:Day12.1 | We examine. And we realize it is our thoughts and not our | feelings that are selfish, uncaring, or judgmental. We realize this |
D:Day12.2 | enclosed, surrounded, taken up, by consciousness. It is your | feelings that now will be the sense organs of this spaciousness. Not |
D:Day12.2 | feelings that now will be the sense organs of this spaciousness. Not | feelings of sight or sound, smell or touch, but feelings of love of |
D:Day12.2 | spaciousness. Not feelings of sight or sound, smell or touch, but | feelings of love of Self. Feelings of love of Self are now what hold |

D:Day14.2 | is a rejection of feelings. All that causes fear is rejection of | feelings. All that causes loneliness is rejection of feelings. All |
D:Day14.2 | is rejection of feelings. All that causes loneliness is rejection of | feelings. All that causes violence is rejection of feelings. |

D:Day14.4 | the one and the many are the same, by willfully remembering that the | feelings of the many can be “held” and not projected into the world |
D:Day14.4 | violence, and so on, that acceptance occurs. It is in accepting all | feelings as the feelings of the many that the feelings of “others” |

D:Day16.4 | What is not of consciousness is of physical form. The rejected | feelings that became physical were made separate from the self and |

D:Day16.4 | Sickness is not sickness but rejected feelings. The rejected | feelings exist as separate and forgotten physical manifestations |
D:Day16.4 | remembered and accepted back into the spacious Self. Rejected | feelings are those for which you blame yourself. Sickness is the form |

D:Day16.5 | feelings are projected outside of the body. These are the unwanted | feelings that are blamed on others. These manifest in your |

D:Day16.8 | What happens when | feelings of loneliness or despair, anger or grief join with the |
D:Day16.9 | not real because they were projections rather than creations, the | feelings were real because you felt them. Had you not feared and |
D:Day16.10 | You have no | feelings that are bad. Fear is not a feeling but a response to a |

D:Day16.10 | sadness, grief, anger, and all else that you feel because these | feelings are part of who you are in the present moment. When you |
D:Day16.11 | can alter the situation for the better. Only when you accept that no | feelings are bad will you allow yourself to come to know what they |

D:17.20 | a state of becoming, and any disappointment you may have initially | felt with this realization has been replaced by acceptance. |
D:Day3.5 | but by your experiencing of anger in new ways. You may not have | felt a great deal of this anger yet, but it is there, and here we |

D:Day5.13 | You know you have been able to “give” love only when you have | felt you “have” love to give. You thus have long known the truth of |

D:Day8.1 | Some of you have | felt, once again, a bit of disappointment or resignation as a result |
D:Day8.9 | You are highly unlikely to like gossip, but you may have | felt that to say you do not like it is to judge it, or that to accept |
D:Day8.26 | you think you can only dream of being. The ego-self was the self you | felt safe presenting to the world, the self you believed the world |

D:Day10.5 | in the time of learning, you felt a need for your doubt just as you | felt a need for your beliefs and for the reassurances that were |

D:Day10.7 | that following your intuition was the correct thing to do but still | felt as if it was. Or you may have doubted your intuition and had |
D:Day13.4 | no other love. God’s love is constantly being given, received, and | felt in relationship. God’s love is your love. Your love is the love |
D:Day15.27 | or a time of gathering with many. You will realize that you have | felt cocooned by the time on the mountain and by those who have |
D:Day16.2 | “there” within consciousness. All that you “know” because you have | felt it, is still there because consciousness is eternal. All that |
D:Day16.2 | you have learned that has touched your heart is there because you | felt it. All that you have thought is still there because you thought |
D:Day16.9 | rather than creations, the feelings were real because you | felt them. Had you not feared and expelled them, you would have seen |
D:Day19.1 | Those of you who are the forerunners of the way of Mary may have | felt confusion over your sense of calling. You know you are called to |

D:Day38.4 | briefly here the feelings of withdrawal you experienced when you | felt loved for being something other than that which you are. Know, |
D:Day40.25 | How often have you said or | felt, when confronted with some insensitivity toward yourself, |

T1:8.17 | brings all you have seen as parts of the self, such as male and | female, conception and action, inspiration and manifestation, |

C:11.1 | The exercises in this Course of Love are | few, and they are contained within the Course itself rather than |

C:11.4 | risks I have sought to limit by limiting the exercises to a simple | few that will stay with you when all hurrying, fear of failing, and |
C:15.5 | within it. Depending on your culture what is necessary may mean | few things, or many and different things for each one. From this |

C:31.28 | what you seek, what you find varies. Since there is only one truth, | finding a variety of answers means nothing. If you but change what |

C:P.2 | in this course in miracles. All are in need of miracles. This is the | first step in miracle readiness: asking for all to be included in |
C:P.44 | This time we take a direct approach, an approach that seems at | first to leave behind abstract learning and the complex mechanisms of |
C:3.10 | a conception. Everything that has been manifested in your world was | first conceived within the mind. While you know this is true, you |
C:5.20 | The | first and only exercise for your mind within this Course has already |
C:7.9 | and the world that seems to hold you separate. This is, indeed, the | first and most general lesson in regard to withholding: The world |
C:9.15 | 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 will find |
C:9.15 | the surface aspect of your self, and if beneath that surface what is | first encountered is fear, it is from fear that all the rest |
C:9.35 | that you believe you have undergone, your desire to be forgiven is a | first step away from your belief that you can fix things by yourself |
C:10.1 | First let us consider what it is the body would use. Although you | |
C:10.24 | Your | first realization of significance will be that all you hear does not |
C:10.24 | not seem to have originated in your head. You may realize for the | first time or in a different way that you have always heard your |
C:10.27 | without your body’s eyes. This, too, will seem like a silly game at | first, a trick of your imagination. You will, at first, observe only |
C:10.27 | a silly game at first, a trick of your imagination. You will, at | first, observe only that which you can “see”—your arms and legs, |
C:10.27 | will see it from behind as you follow it about its day, without, at | first even being aware that this is happening. And you will find that |
C:11.1 | separated from it. There are but a few reasons for this method. The | first is your attitude toward instruction, and the fact that you do |
C:13.1 | takes this one step further, and is merely an extension of the | first. In this exercise you will begin to realize that your brothers |
C:13.1 | where you belong. This seeming togetherness of bodies is just a | first step that will take you beyond the illusion of bodies to |
C:13.5 | you recall of spirit is love. You will want to give it many names at | first, and might not even recognize it as love, for it will come |
C:13.8 | While you will not realize it at | first, because you have no experience but only memory of feeling |
C:17.17 | now we begin to integrate your learning as we move to wholeness. The | first move toward wholeness is but to understand this: heart and mind |
C:18.16 | is to briefly change your orientation from mind to heart. This is a | first step in what will seem now like an attempt to balance two |
C:19.4 | world be what it is will begin the transformation. This requires the | first unification, the unification of mind and heart, after which |
C:19.5 | to change your beliefs and to place your faith securely in them. The | first step in leading you to experience of another kind is your |
C:19.23 | our ultimate goal is to move beyond perception to knowledge, a | first step in doing this is changing your means of perception to that |
C:20.23 | The | first step in remembering this holiness is forgetting. Let yourself |
C:22.1 | We will talk much more of imagining now, and you may, at | first, be resistant to this instruction. To imagine is too often |
C:22.18 | Obviously two kinds of meaning are being talked about. The | first we talked of earlier as the finding of truth. The second is |
C:22.20 | tell stories without the use of the “I” pronoun. This will seem, at | first, as if it is depersonalizing the world and making it less |
C:22.22 | This removal of the personal “I” is but a | first step to returning you to the consciousness of unity, a first |
C:22.22 | but a first step to returning you to the consciousness of unity, a | first step in going beyond meaning as definition to meaning as truth. |
C:22.22 | to meaning as truth. As odd and impersonal as it will seem at | first, I assure you the feeling of impersonality will be replaced |
C:25.1 | to ask for all to be included in what you do. Devotion is thus our | first lesson in learning how to be engaged in life during the time of |
C:25.15 | of making social contributions, pure joining is its objective. The | first joining comes from within and it is putting into practice the |
C:25.16 | This | first joining is a choice made from love without regard for the |
C:25.18 | that everything will take on greater importance, the reverse will at | first be true. You will see little in what you do that matters. You |
C:26.3 | is an axiom for such lives. Fear of the “fall” is a primal fear, the | first fear, the fear behind all such axioms. |
C:26.8 | I am with you and will not leave your side. I say we because your | first involvement is involvement with Christ, an involvement that |
C:28.10 | allows your conviction to grow. Because you believe it, this is, at | first, quite true. But now it is no longer the time to rely on |
C:29.8 | While this goal may at | first appear to be one of selfish intent and individual gain, it is |
C:30.5 | universal consciousness, though you will not know it when it is at | first achieved. For universal consciousness is knowing Self, while |
C:32.1 | Let us | first consider the roles of teacher and learner. A teacher is first |
C:32.1 | Let us first consider the roles of teacher and learner. A teacher is | first and foremost anything that aids your remembering. Thus look not |
T1:1.3 | The | first instruction I give to you is to seek no more. All that you are |
T1:1.5 | is love. All that illusion provided you with was nothing. Thus your | first task as you remember and re-experience is that of separating |
T1:1.11 | how grand its outcome and even in spite of your recognition, at | first in mere fleeting moments, that it is a change you would welcome. |
T1:2.11 | in truth. The implications of this statement are far broader than at | first might seem indicated. All of these implications have been |
T1:2.13 | This response needs to at | first be seen in two parts. An example illustrates. To look at a |
T1:2.13 | or gaze from an office window. It might be a deathbed vision or the | first sunset of which a young child is aware. It might be a scene |
T1:2.14 | The sunset is a gift of God. It is what it is. This is the | first part of this example. |
T1:2.17 | above this lower order of experience is to receive and to give back. | First the sunset is experienced for what it is. It is acknowledged. |
T1:2.19 | Thus, these are the basic rules of the art of thought: | First, to experience what is and to acknowledge what is, both as a |
T1:2.20 | relation to a sunset, its application to all areas of life will at | first seem quite demanding. But what is elementary remains elementary |
T1:3.1 | The | first opportunities for the art of thought to be applied relate to |
T1:3.17 | First you will say you have no objections to miracles, only to having | |
T1:3.22 | miracles are and thus cannot perform them. You want a definition | first. What is an appropriate miracle? For whom should they be |
T1:4.4 | have identified serve to bring about the miracle that you are? The | first means identified was that of experiencing what is and |
T1:4.10 | responsible for and this lesson will become more clear. While your | first thoughts will automatically go to a lengthy list of those |
T1:4.21 | As was already stated, the | first opportunities for you to learn the art of thought will be |
T1:4.21 | interpretation but response. Response was what was required in the | first place and your inability to respond need not be repeated. You |
T1:5.13 | by being willing to replace the old with the new. While this will at | first be a learned activity, and as such have its moments of seeming |
T1:9.7 | Yet you have not remembered that the | first union is of mind and heart. The first union is union with the |
T1:9.7 | have not remembered that the first union is of mind and heart. The | first union is union with the Self. This union with the Self is |
T1:9.14 | is that the one that is most comfortable and that is likely your | first reaction, is cognizant with your old pattern, or the pattern of |
T1:9.15 | One | first reaction might be to puff oneself up with pride, bolster one’s |
T1:9.15 | in relationship to the other in the situation or event. Another’s | first reaction might be one of self-pity, of making oneself or |
T1:9.15 | of experiencing a sense of diminished self-esteem or worthiness. The | first will feel like an intellectual position. The second like a |
T1:9.15 | position to one of feeling will most readily and quickly solve the | first. The second will be most readily and quickly overcome by a turn |
T1:9.16 | What “was” is being thrown out and the | first step in this is embracing what you heretofore have not |
T2:1.3 | Treasure in the | first sense is, first and foremost, something that you believe exists |
T2:1.3 | Treasure in the first sense is, | first and foremost, something that you believe exists and have |
T2:1.5 | end that is sought. No matter how peaceful this place of rest may at | first seem, it will soon become stagnant and unsatisfying. Left in |
T2:1.14 | This is a | first step in the change in thinking that needs to occur. It is an |
T2:4.6 | A | first step then in learning to recognize when you are acting upon |
T2:4.10 | Thus a | first step in our work with regard to calling is recognizing the |
T2:7.4 | First let us replace your idea of “others” with the idea of | |
T2:7.19 | has been prepared for them. You do not deny them. You bring them | first to your Self, to the Self joined in unity at the place of your |
T2:8.3 | While your dedication to the goal of being who you are may at | first seem selfish, it will soon be revealed to be the most sincere |
T2:10.2 | is akin to another belief that has been replaced. This belief was | first expressed in A Course in Miracles by the saying resign as your |
T2:10.13 | Thus the union of mind and heart is, as was stated previously, the | first union, the union that must proceed all the rest. You are in a |
T2:10.13 | the state of union in which all that you learn is shared, | first by mind and heart, and then in unity with your brothers and |
T2:11.1 | this truth. This forgiveness has now extended in two distinct ways. | First in forgiving your Creator for creating you in such a way, and |
T3:1.5 | As with much of our previous work, the | first step in advancing toward this goal is in developing an |
T3:3.7 | worked together to integrate into your thought system, are only a | first step, a step toward holy relationship. These new beliefs of |
T3:4.7 | great abuse when a second ego personality is developed to save the | first. The ego has also been dismantled and rebuilt over time and |
T3:9.3 | a completely new reality beyond its walls. You might think, at | first, that you are in a place so foreign that you must immediately |
T3:9.3 | to you and requires no new learning at all. You will be tempted, at | first, to see things that are like unto those within the house of |
T3:10.2 | The | first lesson is offered as an exercise in forgetting. As often as is |
T3:10.3 | The | first thing I ask you to forget is your need to find a place where |
T3:10.9 | The | first step in being able to forget such thoughts is in recognizing |
T3:10.12 | to dwell in this new house, but you will need to learn what will at | first seem to you a foreign thought system. This thought system |
T3:11.16 | This | first lesson on the temptation of the human experience comes in truth |
T3:14.13 | the past. Like a story yet to be written, that which follows the | first page will be based upon the first page. |
T3:14.13 | be written, that which follows the first page will be based upon the | first page. |
T3:14.14 | We are writing a new | first page, a new Genesis. It begins now. It begins with the rebirth |
T3:15.2 | of birth and death. This is something we will return to, but | first let us look at other types of new beginnings and all that would |
T3:18.8 | It will seem at | first as if you are asked to deny the facts that you see before you |
T3:20.4 | as a learning device. This learning device had two aspects. The | first was to reveal to you your fears concerning the miracle so that |
T3:20.8 | You will see it as quite difficult at | first to respond to such situations in a new way, but all situations |
T4:2.11 | Being | first does not mean being better. That I was the first to demonstrate |
T4:2.11 | Being first does not mean being better. That I was the | first to demonstrate what you can be does not mean I am better than |
T4:2.11 | is applauded, and soon a new record replaces that record-setting | first; just as someone had to be “first” to fly a plane or land on |
T4:2.11 | 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. That |
T4:2.11 | second and a third. That attention and respect is given to those who | first achieve anything of merit is but a way of calling all others to |
T4:2.11 | One may desire to best a sporting record and another to follow the | first man into space and the one who desires to best a sporting |
T4:2.11 | desires to best a sporting record may feel no desire to follow the | first man into space and vice versa, and yet, what one achieves but |
T4:2.11 | Even those who did not desire to fly in a plane when this feat was | first accomplished have since flown in planes. |
T4:2.12 | to achieve their desired end, most who so achieve and become the | first to set records, discover, or invent the new, are not aware of |
T4:2.22 | effect of the cause of a heart and mind joined in unity. This | first joining in unity, the joining of heart and mind, joins the |
T4:2.32 | and the attitude of separation. It is seeing with an expectation | first and foremost of revelation. It is believing that you exist in |
T4:10.2 | up learning you will meet resistance and realize, for perhaps the | first time, that learning is what your entire life has been about. |
T4:10.10 | The | first accomplishment of your learning about your Self was the return |
T4:12.5 | Two changes of enormous proportions are upon you. The | first is the end of learning, the ramifications of which will only |
D:1.19 | read these words, as much a “receiver” of this Dialogue as she who | first hears these words and transfers them to paper. |
D:1.20 | be one of thousands or millions who hear it? Does it matter who is | first to hear the music? This is, in truth, a dialogue between me and |
D:1.21 | to teach the truth. In order for the truth to be truly learned, you | first had to enter a state in which this learning could occur, a |
D:3.6 | conditions of learning are no longer necessary. Thus one of your | first acts of acceptance is the acceptance of the end of the |
D:3.7 | Our | first action in understanding what we are called together to do is to |
D:3.8 | an idea for you to carry forward with you into the new. This is the | first of many ideas that were previously taught that I would like to |
D:3.21 | Now I realize that this is just the | first step revealed and that many of you will feel already as if you |
D:4.24 | Let this acceptance of your own internal authority be your | first “act” of acceptance rather than learning. Turn to this as the |
D:4.29 | given is available. You accept and you receive. You realize that the | first order of creation of the new is restoration of the original |
D:4.30 | Invite this simply by inviting what brings you joy. Invite yourself | first to this new world, but leave not your brothers and sisters |
D:5.9 | once again. As was said earlier, this seeing of the truth is the | first step as it is the step necessary for the restoration of divine |
D:6.23 | The | first example of the body we presented newly was that of the perfect |
D:7.28 | You might begin by imagining | first your actual, physical, home, then your neighborhood, community, |
D:8.2 | Imagine this | first as a place where no learning is needed. Ah, you might say now, |
D:8.2 | idea of no longer needing to learn has intrigued you since it was | first mentioned, and yet it seems too impossible, too “good” to be |
D:8.3 | ability it may represent. We concentrate on this idea as the | first parameter of the territory of your conscious awareness as you |
D:8.7 | will increase your comfort level, and will help establish it as the | first parameter in the territory of your conscious awareness. |
D:8.12 | of your Self is the doorway. Step through that doorway. Take the | first step outside of the known reality of your conscious awareness, |

D:12.11 | I am about to make the two main points of this discussion: The | first is that thinking, with or without the ego, is a pattern of the |

D:13.3 | The | first is that what you will be discovering, what you will be coming |
D:13.3 | as you have known it thus far. These reversals will be among the | first revelations and will seem quite simple and pleasing as they |
D:13.6 | know that this knowing must be shared. And yet, you will not, at | first, fully realize that this sharing is not needed so much as a |

D:15.9 | the water that the wind first swept across and upon which the light | first descended, is an interesting omission, made by many. What were |
D:16.20 | these images in your mind and heart. It is a time of letting them | first cease to affect you, and then of letting them go entirely, for |
D:Day2.27 | This is why you | first needed to accept me. To accept me is to accept the end of |
D:Day3.1 | this final surrender, there are stages through which one moves. The | first is denial, the second is anger. We have already spoken of |
D:Day3.5 | So our | first point of discussion in the realm of anger is that no matter |
D:Day3.20 | abundance have done something wrong. We will return to this, but | first let’s continue with the denial of money’s effect. |
D:Day3.27 | that we are headed even beyond desire, and know that desire must | first be met before you can be taken beyond it. |
D:Day3.39 | pattern of learning through the mind, you can perhaps see why these | first revelations of union would come to you in a way associated with |
D:Day3.54 | not planted. But the gift of the great idea, the great talent, must | first be seen and recognized, acknowledged and accepted, before it |
D:Day3.56 | lead you to this belief and, finally, to this acceptance. Acceptance | first that you do not believe. And then acceptance itself. |
D:Day4.4 | Real choice is the | first new temptation. |
D:Day4.11 | This is the new choice, the | first new temptation. |
D:Day4.23 | of A Course of Love: Establishing your identity. You needed to | first know yourself as a being existing in union before you could |
D:Day4.24 | What many forgot, after the passing of the | first of my disciples, was that they had access to this treasure. |
D:Day4.27 | a being who exists in unity rather than in separation—is thus the | first step to the access that you seek. Without knowing this, without |
D:Day4.41 | Why is this suddenly a choice between one or the other? It is the | first choice of the new temptations, the first real choice of |
D:Day4.41 | one or the other? It is the first choice of the new temptations, the | first real choice of Christ-consciousness, of the time beyond |
D:Day4.54 | you to fully know the Self of unity. You are about to achieve your | first glimpse of wholeness, of oneness with God. To know the truth of |

D:Day5.12 | Access to unity will seem, at | first, a quite individual accomplishment, something one may have and |
D:Day6.15 | many reasons not to make it so. And so, abundance will have to come | first, lack of cause for worry will have to come first, an ability to |

D:Day20.3 | This is the | first transition, the transition in which you really “get it” that |

D:Day21.1 | The | first transition, as you have probably already realized, is about a |

D:Day21.10 | is the aim of our final time together. Concentrate on making the | first transition and on the reversal of thought that it requires. |

C:23.12 | to alter your belief in form. This is consistent with our primary | focus on learning from the heart. The mind goes from the small to the |
C:29.1 | to life that requires your attention. It is both a request for | focus and readiness and a request for service that can only be given |
C:30.3 | Your learning must take on a new | focus. Be like the little children, and inhale the world around you |
T1:2.7 | Your only recourse to this situation in the past was | focus. You thus applied your thoughts to learning subjects of a |
T1:2.7 | thoughts to learning subjects of a specific nature. Through this | focus you believed you accomplished much. You congratulated yourself |

D:Day5.4 | that is not a tool but a function of your natural Self, is a | focus on access. Thus we begin with what feels natural to you. We |

D:Day5.21 | In this frame of mind, we can return more specifically to our | focus on access. Wherever your chosen point of access lies, imagine |

C:9.23 | to fulfill your needs. For most of you, this trying takes on the | form of work and you spend your entire life working to meet your |
C:9.43 | Use, in any | form, leads to bondage, and so to perceive a world based on use is to |

C:19.17 | Your only concept of oneness is of a single | form, a single entity. There is either one chair or two. One table or |
C:20.4 | “Thingness” is over, and your identity no longer stands in | form but flows from life itself. Your beauty is the gathering of the |
C:20.8 | no longer looking out but looking in. All landscapes and horizons | form within the embrace. All beauty resides there. All light is fused |
C:20.12 | We exist in the embrace of love like the layers of light that | form a rainbow, indivisible and curved inward upon each other. Love |
C:21.2 | are time-bound. You can realize the eternal even in your temporary | form if you can let go of your particularity. Particularity has to do |
C:21.2 | of your particularity. Particularity has to do with mass, substance, | form. Your being is far beyond your imagined reliance on the |

C:21.3 | The holy relationship in its broadened | form is eternity, the eternity of the embrace. If the embrace is the |

C:23.9 | they only form after the fact. The belief fosters the form and the | form is then meant to foster the belief. |
C:23.10 | be clear. The body politic. A body of knowledge. Belief fostered the | form and the form was meant to foster the belief. Thus belief and |
C:23.10 | body politic. A body of knowledge. Belief fostered the form and the | form was meant to foster the belief. Thus belief and form have a |
C:23.10 | form and the form was meant to foster the belief. Thus belief and | form have a symbiotic relationship. Understanding of this loving |
C:23.10 | you to experience freedom of the body, which is an extension, in | form, of your belief in the personal “I.” |
C:23.11 | required. Belief fostered the union of atoms and cells into the | form required by the belief in the separated self. Belief of another |
C:23.11 | separated self. Belief of another kind can foster the creation of | form of another kind. |
C:23.12 | If | form is an extension of belief you can see why what you believe is |
C:23.12 | you can see why what you believe is critical to how you live with | form. We are speaking here of ways of thinking similar to those which |
C:23.12 | have most often begun with an alteration of beliefs regarding | form. Here we have taken an opposite approach, beginning with |
C:23.12 | your identity and concluding with exercises to alter your belief in | form. This is consistent with our primary focus on learning from the |
C:23.13 | I repeat: Belief of another kind can foster the creation of | form of another kind. A wholehearted belief in the truth about your |

C:23.16 | in form will allow for all changes in form required by the miracle. | Form is not a constant but a result. While you believe that belief is |

C:23.19 | spark is inspiration, the infusion of spirit. Taking the creation of | form backward, it leads to this conclusion: Spirit precedes |
C:23.19 | imagination, imagination precedes belief, and belief precedes | form. |
C:23.20 | link with the one Source. Spirit is directly from the Source, while | form is a by-product of spirit. Thus form is once removed, or further |
C:23.20 | directly from the Source, while form is a by-product of spirit. Thus | form is once removed, or further away from the Source. Again working |
C:23.20 | further away from the Source. Again working backward, however, the | form you have created is still a step necessary in the return to the |
C:23.20 | return to the Source. The necessary step is that of moving beyond | form—recognizing and acknowledging form for what it is and then |
C:23.20 | step is that of moving beyond form—recognizing and acknowledging | form for what it is and then continuing on, working backward to |
C:23.21 | You then can move forward again, taking | form beyond its given parameters and becoming a miracle worker. |
C:23.22 | The purging of old beliefs frees space for the new. It allows your | form to reflect what and who you are now in terms that coincide with |
C:26.20 | inviolate? The answer that only you can hear. There is no mold, no | form, no stock answer. This is why all answers have disappointed you |
C:26.22 | is known about you. God’s idea of you is perfect, and until now your | form has been but an imperfect representation of God’s idea. In God’s |
C:26.24 | This is not a place of physical | form but a place of holiness, an integral place in the pattern that |
C:28.11 | are you of an impending challenge to action, of some necessary | form to be given to what you carry within. |

C:28.12 | others of your belief, the need to give form to what is beyond | form misses the point of what you have gained. You may be asking now, |
C:30.8 | being and no present in matter. In matter, being must be attached to | form. In the sense of time described by the word present, there is no |
C:30.13 | of love and its location is your own heart. Think now of the created | form, the body. When the heart stops beating, life is seen to be |
C:30.13 | over. Are you thus your heart? Or can you not see that the created | form was made in God’s own image, as was all creation. You are God’s |
C:30.13 | in God’s own image, as was all creation. You are God’s image given | form, as is all creation. We, all of us together, are the heartbeat |

C:31.7 | both you and beyond your understanding of you. Form mimics content. | Form mimics the truth, but does not replace it. |
C:32.1 | foremost anything that aids your remembering. Thus look not at the | form in which a teacher arrives. It can truly be said that all of |
C:32.1 | help you to remember who you are. As we have stated repeatedly, the | form of your world in many ways reflects the content of who you are. |
T1:4.22 | on the maturity required to reinterpret previous lessons. To | form a new opinion about something gives you a feeling of |
T1:7.2 | This acceptance is due to the belief that spirit has chosen a | form, and more accurately put a “lesser” form in which to exist, and |
T1:7.2 | that spirit has chosen a form, and more accurately put a “lesser” | form in which to exist, and that that choice includes the choice to |
T1:8.2 | and the life.” What I was in life was the manifestation, in | form, of the Will of God. Thus too have you been. God is the giver of |
T1:8.5 | separation. Even though the resurrection returned not life to the | form I once occupied, it returned me to you in the form of the |
T1:8.5 | not life to the form I once occupied, it returned me to you in the | form of the resurrected Christ who exists in all of you, bringing |
T1:8.8 | the proof required, much as proof has been offered to you now in the | form of miracles. How could one rise from the dead and others not |
T1:8.13 | resurrected. It is through the Blessed Virgin Mary’s resurrection in | form that the new pattern of life is revealed. |
T1:8.14 | The new pattern of life is the ability to resurrect in | form. The ability to resurrect in life. The ability to resurrect now. |
T1:8.16 | male and female is but union of the parts of yourself expressed in | form and story, expressed, in other words, in a visual pattern that |
T1:9.2 | and the separation of male and female continues to exist only in | form. |
T1:9.3 | However, we are talking now, in a certain sense, of an elevation of | form. While this is actually an elevation beyond form, it must begin |
T1:9.3 | of an elevation of form. While this is actually an elevation beyond | form, it must begin in the reality where you think you are. In other |
T1:9.3 | reality where you think you are. In other words, it must begin with | form. You cannot await some changed state but must create the changed |
T1:9.9 | to make it known that while I would die and resurrect into a new | form, you would also; that this new form would exist within you; that |
T1:9.9 | die and resurrect into a new form, you would also; that this new | form would exist within you; that you would become the Body of Christ |
T2:1.8 | that you think in terms of place because you think in terms of | form. Thus even I have often used the idea of place as a teaching |
T2:1.8 | aid. But you are ready now to begin to think without the need for | form. |
T2:1.9 | as hoping to develop into abilities, are given a structure and | form in your thinking of them. A desire to paint, in your thoughts |
T2:1.9 | scenes of things and places, or in other words, of the external, of | form. |
T2:1.10 | Thinking without | form is a harbinger of unity. Form is a product of the separation. |
T2:1.10 | Thinking without form is a harbinger of unity. | Form is a product of the separation. Thought “forms” are the product |
T2:3.2 | There would be no need for | form if there had been no desire for expression. Life is the desire |
T2:5.1 | you, as in a call to be a minister, nor that it will come in but one | form, as in a call to action. We have talked heretofore about a |
T2:5.3 | The call that comes in the | form of an announcement is the call that carries with it no |
T2:5.3 | you that it is time to act. This might be considered the highest | form of call, the call from the already accomplished to the already |
T2:5.5 | Calls that seem to come in the | form of demands are often calls that come to you from within the |
T2:5.6 | These last two calls, the call that appears in the | form of a sign and the call that comes in the form of a demand, are |
T2:5.6 | that appears in the form of a sign and the call that comes in the | form of a demand, are about specifics in a way that the call that |
T2:5.7 | exists in relationship. Thus, all the calls that come to you in the | form of signs or demands will be calls that assist you in integrating |
T2:6.8 | Christ in you even while you continue to grow and change. Physical | form and action of all kinds are but expressions of what already |
T2:6.10 | in the present, in the here and now, so that you exist—even within | form—as the only Son of God, the Christ, the word made flesh. |
T2:8.3 | first seem selfish, it will soon be revealed to be the most sincere | form of relationship. Relationship based on anything other than who |
T2:8.4 | to act on this knowing. These are calls to truth and but take the | form of honesty for a brief time as the truth of who you are is |
T2:8.6 | of who you are has not changed and you are as you were created. | Form and behavior are, however, subject to change, as are your |
T2:9.13 | drive that has become instinctual to you. As a being existing in | form, you have honed certain instincts over millennia, such as the |
T2:9.13 | such as the instinct to survive, in order to carry on in physical | form. |
T2:11.4 | will, in a sense, be forever with you, much as the body that is your | form will remain with you until your death. But while your perception |
T2:11.4 | as your identity and your home has given way to an idea of it as a | form that can be of service to you and your expression, there is no |
T2:11.15 | ego acting as devil and defender of evil. This is nonsense, or but a | form of the insanity that is prevalent still, even in your thinking. |
T2:13.5 | exist here and remain forever beyond all time and the passing of all | form. It is an attitude of praise and thankfulness that flows between |
T2:13.6 | in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought:” that of the elevation of | form. |
T3:1.9 | in which it was hidden and to be represented in truth by the | form you occupy and have previously seen as the reality of yourself. |
T3:1.13 | only place where such work can be done. We work with what we have, a | form fully able to represent the truth and, in so doing, we bring the |
T3:2.3 | to share yourself in a new way. The choice to represent your Self in | form was a choice for separation but not because separation itself |
T3:2.3 | you started out to achieve—that of a new way of expression in a | form that would expand awareness, through relationship, of self and |
T3:2.11 | to believe that you left a paradise in order to live a while in a | form that would cause you much suffering and strife, for the sole |
T3:5.7 | worthy of God’s son, the crucifixion would have ended life in | form and returned the sons of man to the formless. Instead, the sons |
T3:8.5 | only choice that has been made is that of attachment to the human | form as the self. The choice that hasn’t been made is the choice to |
T3:10.16 | translated into the language of the body as well. While your human | form remains, you will be dwelling among those in human form. While |
T3:10.16 | your human form remains, you will be dwelling among those in human | form. While the house of illusion still exists, you will continue to |

T3:13.4 | now, giving you the beginnings of a vision of a life in physical | form that will not include the very temptations we are beginning to |
T3:13.14 | To | form your own ideas is to be creative. Forming your own ideas happens |
T3:13.14 | action on your ideas forms a relationship between your physical | form and your Self as your physical self represents, in form, the |

T3:15.1 | start. Deaths of loved ones and the births of new family members | form new configurations in a life. Nature begins anew each spring. |
T3:15.16 | these beliefs is the idea that these beliefs can be represented in | form. These beliefs can, with the help of the new thought system, |
T3:16.16 | the truth is all encompassing. Illusion is made of parts that do not | form real connections but that only seem to have the ability to build |
T3:17.1 | have already shown, to have chosen to express the Self in physical | form was a choice consistent with the laws of love. There was no need |
T3:17.1 | to be so, but there was a need for the Self to have an observable | form and to exist in relationship with others with observable forms. |
T3:17.3 | As soon as spirit took on | form, man began to exist in time because there became a need for a |

T3:17.4 | a thought system that was not needed before there was physical | form. The creation story of Adam and Eve, as well as many other |
T3:17.5 | what has been learned during the time of your experience in physical | form. Since your true Self could not learn the untrue, a new self, |
T3:18.2 | the Self expresses, was part of the original choice for physical | form. The word observance has rightly been linked with divine worship |
T3:18.3 | of the miracle that will allow you to exist as who you are in human | form. See what perfect sense this makes as your human form is an |
T3:18.3 | are in human form. See what perfect sense this makes as your human | form is an observable form. It is thus from observable form that the |
T3:18.3 | what perfect sense this makes as your human form is an observable | form. It is thus from observable form that the final learning will |
T3:18.3 | as your human form is an observable form. It is thus from observable | form that the final learning will take place. This is the perfect |
T3:18.4 | Expressing who you are in physical | form will return remembrance to the minds of those who observe your |
T3:18.9 | In this way, you will join the mechanisms of your physical | form to the new thought system of the truth. Your body, as has been |
T3:18.9 | system of the truth. Your body, as has been often said, is a neutral | form that will serve you in the manner in which you choose to have it |
T3:18.10 | We also now link observance and ideas. Ideas | form in the mind. You are used to thinking that what you observe |
T3:19.1 | You must not fear the changes that will occur within your physical | form as it begins to be guided by the thought system of the truth |
T3:19.2 | joy that is limited to the physical—no joy felt by the physical | form alone—the joy that comes of things physical can certainly |
T3:19.4 | of the human experience. Let us now dispel this link. The physical | form has been blamed for choices made from lust and greed, hate and |
T3:19.4 | cause and effect are one, there is no effect to be seen in physical | form without a corresponding cause birthed in the ego thought system |
T3:19.9 | goal is the original thought that began the experience in physical | form, the thought of expressing the Self in observable form. |
T3:19.9 | in physical form, the thought of expressing the Self in observable | form. |
T3:19.11 | temptations. Although you will now represent who you are in physical | form in a new way, you can still see that your actions of the past |
T3:21.12 | most materialistic among you rarely count what you have acquired in | form as part of your identity. What you have acquired that is not of |
T3:21.12 | form as part of your identity. What you have acquired that is not of | form, you have, however, added to the few ideas that you hold |
T3:21.17 | being called to accept your true identity even while you retain the | form of your personal self. As your true identity is that of a Self |
T3:21.18 | things about your personal self must be accepted as aspects of your | form and cease to be accepted as aspects of your identity. This will |
T3:21.19 | of the miracle that will allow you to exist as who you are in human | form. How, you might rightly ask, can you cease to identify yourself |
T3:22.1 | question in your mind and heart. While you may be beginning to | form ideas of what it means to live by the truth, these ideas may not |
T3:22.17 | sight of your true Self is to call your true Self into observable | form. Calling the true Self forth into observable form is the end of |
T3:22.17 | into observable form. Calling the true Self forth into observable | form is the end of the old and the beginning of the new. |
T4:3.2 | Observation is the means of seeing this binding pattern in physical | form. |
T4:3.4 | experience was the expression of the Self of love in observable | form. This original intent or cause formed the true nature of the |
T4:3.11 | is the natural means of sharing what is known in physical | form. |
T4:3.12 | The physical | form is not the natural or original form of the created. Vision is |
T4:3.12 | The physical form is not the natural or original | form of the created. Vision is the means by which the original nature |
T4:3.12 | the original nature of the created can newly be seen in physical | form. Once the original nature of the created becomes observable in |
T4:3.12 | the original nature of the created becomes observable in physical | form, physical form will surpass what it once was and become the new |
T4:3.12 | nature of the created becomes observable in physical form, physical | form will surpass what it once was and become the new nature of the |
T4:3.12 | nature of your being cannot become a being the nature of which is | form if you so choose it to be. There is a reason why the original |
T4:3.12 | is a reason why the original nature of your being cannot exist in a | form unnatural to love. A form whose nature is fear cannot house the |
T4:3.12 | nature of your being cannot exist in a form unnatural to love. A | form whose nature is fear cannot house the creation of love. |
T4:3.13 | 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 that |
T4:3.13 | the same time to hang on to life; not realizing that what exists in | form does not have to be separate and alone; not realizing that what |
T4:3.13 | realizing that what lives does not have to die. That the nature of | form can change. That the nature of matter is one of change. That the |
T4:3.13 | That the nature of matter is one of change. That the nature, even of | form, once returned to its natural state of love, is one of unity and |
T4:3.14 | The idea of everlasting life in | form has seemed a curse to some, a miracle to others. Death comes as |
T4:3.14 | is but your choice. Your attachment to life has kept you alive in | form. Your attachment to death has kept your form subject to the |
T4:3.14 | has kept you alive in form. Your attachment to death has kept your | form subject to the cycle of decay and rebirth. There is another |
T4:4.2 | The pattern of life-everlasting is one of changing | form. It is one that is revealed on Earth by birth and death, decay |
T4:4.5 | This is one of the reasons that I came in the | form of the “son of God.” In the time in which I lived, the idea of |
T4:4.8 | Changing | form is part of the pattern of life-everlasting. The change in the |
T4:4.8 | form is part of the pattern of life-everlasting. The change in the | form you now occupy, the change I have spoken of as that of elevation |
T4:4.12 | you to everlasting consciousness even while you still abide in | form. To be cognizant or aware of everlasting consciousness while you |
T4:4.12 | or aware of everlasting consciousness while you still abide in | form is to be fully aware that you have life everlasting. |
T4:4.14 | to unity through death. Once the return to unity has occurred in | form, the decision to continue in form or to not continue in form |
T4:4.14 | return to unity has occurred in form, the decision to continue in | form or to not continue in form will be yours. |
T4:4.14 | in form, the decision to continue in form or to not continue in | form will be yours. |
T4:4.15 | divine and thus eternal. If you can abide in unity while in human | form, you will have no cause, save your own choice, to leave human |
T4:4.15 | form, you will have no cause, save your own choice, to leave human | form. To abide in unity is to abide in your natural state, a state of |
T4:4.16 | are mortal is to believe that you must die to the personal self of | form in order to be reborn as a true Self. This is an old way of |
T4:4.18 | will death serve when your true Self has joined with your physical | form? You will see it simply as the transformation it has always |
T4:4.18 | transformation from singular consciousness to Christ-consciousness. | Form has been but a representation of singular consciousness. As form |
T4:4.18 | Form has been but a representation of singular consciousness. As | form becomes a representation of Christ-consciousness, it will take |
T4:4.18 | my life was the example life. To sustain Christ-consciousness in | form is creation of the new. My one example life could not sustain |
T4:4.18 | This union will take you beyond the goal of expressing your Self in | form because this goal but reflected the desire for a temporary |
T4:5.1 | Life-everlasting in | form is not your only choice. As many of you believed that I was the |
T4:5.2 | God’s expression, God’s melody. You, and all that exist with you, | form the orchestra and chorus of creation. You might think of your |
T4:5.3 | The one body is one energy given many expressions in | form. The same life-force courses through all that exists in matter |
T4:5.3 | The same life-force courses through all that exists in matter in the | form of this energy. Awareness of this one Source of energy, and thus |
T4:5.4 | In order for your body to live, this one Energy had to enter your | form and exist where you think you are. This is the Energy of Love, |
T4:5.4 | to dematerialize and rematerialize in an inexhaustible variety of | form. But form does not contain It and is not required for Its |
T4:5.4 | and rematerialize in an inexhaustible variety of form. But | form does not contain It and is not required for Its existence or |
T4:5.4 | It and is not required for Its existence or expression. How could | form contain God? How could form contain the Energy of Creation? |
T4:5.4 | Its existence or expression. How could form contain God? How could | form contain the Energy of Creation? |
T4:5.5 | Your | form does not contain your heart, or the energy of creation, or God. |
T4:5.5 | does not contain your heart, or the energy of creation, or God. Your | form is but an extension of this energy, a representation of it. You |
T4:5.5 | and the waters of the ocean that exists in you. This energy is the | form and content of the embrace. It is within you and It surrounds |
T4:5.11 | make this choice now. This is not a choice automatic to you in human | form or even upon the death of your human form. When you die, you do |
T4:5.11 | automatic to you in human form or even upon the death of your human | form. When you die, you do not die to who you are or who you think |
T4:5.11 | of death you are assisted in ways not formerly possible to you in | form, to make the choice to be who you are. You are shown in ways |
T4:6.3 | unites us all will but continue life as it has been but in different | form. The realization of unity is the binding realization that will |
T4:8.1 | realize that it was not some separate “you” or some species without | form who at some point in time chose to express love in physical |
T4:8.1 | form who at some point in time chose to express love in physical | form, and so began this experience of human life. You are now |
T4:8.5 | Creation in | form had a starting point. This is the nature of everything that |
T4:8.5 | had a starting point. This is the nature of everything that lives in | form. It has a starting point from which it grows into its time of |
T4:8.7 | without any need for you to “do” anything, and then becoming a | form where expressing yourself depended upon what you could “do” with |
T4:8.9 | come into the time of fullness of a being able to express itself in | form, never realizing that this just delayed the learning that had to |
T4:8.12 | creation. Your rebellion against the constraints of your nature in | form thus became part of the pattern of creation because it was the |
T4:8.13 | God ever have had for wanting to express the Love that is Himself in | form, if it were not for the expansion and enrichment it would add to |
T4:10.11 | to fulfill the desired experience of expressing the Self of love in | form. No longer learning is the revelation that the time of |
T4:10.11 | accomplishment is upon you and the expression of the Self of love in | form is what you are now ready to do. Learning was what was necessary |
T4:10.12 | Expression of the Self of love in | form is not something that can be learned. It is something that can |
T4:12.22 | There has never been a sustained Christ-consciousness in | form. The Christ-consciousness that has always existed, a |
T4:12.22 | not a learned state, as was the singular consciousness of the human | form. It is your innate consciousness, a consciousness far too vast |
T4:12.31 | This is a prelude to but one | form of these dialogues. Sharing in unity is automatic. It is the |
T4:12.32 | of the personal self and the living of Christ-consciousness in | form are yet to be revealed and shared. This is the time that is |
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 and space. Yet time and |
T4:12.35 | one body, one mind, one heart. Because it is the new future of a new | form joined in unity and relationship, the only guarantees that are |
D:1.2 | Self you are and the Self you hope to represent with your physical | form. I come to you today not as a personal self who is “other” than |
D:1.3 | as it did before. You do not “see” the new, the new Self of elevated | form or the true Self of divine union. You “see” the separated self |
D:1.11 | The body of Christ becomes real through this indwelling of Christ in | form. |
D:1.12 | release of the old and the acceptance of the new. This occurs in one | form or another in the sacraments you have known as Baptism, |
D:1.13 | heart and allow your true identity to be what is, even within your | form. You are in grace and union with the Source and Cause of unity. |
D:2.15 | now for the integration of your true identity into the self of | form, or the elevation of the personal self, new patterns are needed. |
D:2.22 | remaining question; that of how to sustain Christ-consciousness in | form. |
D:3.1 | that will allow for the sustainability of Christ-consciousness in | form. |
D:3.8 | the art of thought begun to integrate them into the elevated Self of | form. These are really not new ideas, however, but rather ideas of |
D:3.8 | but rather ideas of who you truly are birthed within the self of | form so that the Self and the elevated Self of form are able to work |
D:3.8 | within the self of form so that the Self and the elevated Self of | form are able to work with ideas birthed from the same source. |
D:3.11 | not senseless, however, when that shared consciousness is occupying | form. |
D:3.12 | and receiving is an idea, as are all ideas, that exists apart from | form. Giving and receiving are thus one within the shared |
D:3.12 | however, requires that this giving and receiving as one be shared in | form. Yet the elevated form, which now represents the shared |
D:3.12 | this giving and receiving as one be shared in form. Yet the elevated | form, which now represents the shared consciousness of the Self, is |
D:3.12 | and receiving as one is now the nature of the elevated Self of | form, and what we work toward through this dialogue is your full |
D:3.13 | Acceptance is easily achieved through willingness. Full awareness in | form of what has previously been hidden by the mists of illusion is |
D:3.14 | Giving and receiving as one has become one in | form as well as one in idea. What this means, simply stated once |
D:3.15 | What might this mean to the elevated Self of | form? Using this dialogue as an example will serve to explain. This |
D:3.15 | being shared. So too is it with you. You, as the elevated Self of | form, are a continual representation of what is continuously being |
D:3.16 | of the separated self, would not sustain Christ-consciousness in | form. |
D:3.18 | to convey any division between the Self and the elevated Self of | form, but to demonstrate that there is a difference in form between |
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 |
D:3.18 | is a difference in form between the Self and the elevated Self of | form. The Self was and will always remain more than the body. The |
D:3.19 | difference that exists between the Self and the elevated Self of | form that makes of us creators of the new, because the elevated Self |
D:3.19 | that makes of us creators of the new, because the elevated Self of | form is new. The Self is eternal. Your Self of elevated form is newly |
D:3.19 | Self of form is new. The Self is eternal. Your Self of elevated | form is newly birthed, just as I was once newly birthed even though |
D:3.19 | things we will be seeing as we proceed is the difference between | form and content and the difference in the way separate forms express |
D:3.21 | concept of giving and receiving, and that for the elevated Self of | form it is simply a shared quality of oneness. It is not in need of |
D:4.2 | above the level of the organism as you become aware of unity of | form. |
D:4.6 | as are the actual prison systems that developed when shape and | form was given to what you fear and what you believe will protect you. |
D:4.12 | Divine patterns are the patterns that made your existence in | form possible as well as the patterns that have made your return to |
D:5.6 | When two bodies join and joy results from this joining, this is | form mimicking content—form representing what “is.” The form was |
D:5.6 | and joy results from this joining, this is form mimicking content— | form representing what “is.” The form was created in order to show— |
D:5.6 | this is form mimicking content—form representing what “is.” The | form was created in order to show—to teach—that joining is the |
D:5.11 | will be what is, in its representation. Simply put, this means that | form will never be all that you are, but will return to being as it |
D:5.15 | of the Self as God created the Self—to the living of this Self in | form. This is an acceptance that recognizes that while the Self that |
D:5.15 | that while the Self that God created is eternal and the self of | form as ancient as the sea and stars, the elevated Self of form is |
D:5.15 | self of form as ancient as the sea and stars, the elevated Self of | form is new and will create a new world. |
D:5.19 | being what you represent in truth. We discuss the elevation of | form. And what we have discussed thus far is the acceptance of form |
D:5.19 | of form. And what we have discussed thus far is the acceptance of | form as what it is. This is the new reality you have desired. To live |
D:5.19 | This is the new reality you have desired. To live as who you are in | form. To not wait for death’s release but to find release while still |
D:5.19 | wait for death’s release but to find release while still living in | form. Thus we begin with the true content of the form you occupy. We |
D:5.19 | still living in form. Thus we begin with the true content of the | form you occupy. We return the form you occupy to its natural state. |
D:5.19 | we begin with the true content of the form you occupy. We return the | form you occupy to its natural state. Only then can we proceed to |
D:5.21 | it is going to be possible to live as your new Self while still in | form, while still in a form that seems inconsistent with your being, |
D:5.21 | to live as your new Self while still in form, while still in a | form that seems inconsistent with your being, while still in a form |
D:5.21 | in a form that seems inconsistent with your being, while still in a | form that exists within a form, within a world that seems |
D:5.21 | with your being, while still in a form that exists within a | form, within a world that seems inconsistent with your being. You |
D:6.2 | stated and stated again. But as we enter this new time of elevated | form, these same ideas—ideas that many of you attached to form |
D:6.2 | elevated form, these same ideas—ideas that many of you attached to | form rather than to your perception of form—must be rejected. |
D:6.2 | that many of you attached to form rather than to your perception of | form—must be rejected. |
D:6.4 | given your choice to return to who you truly are while still in | form, continues, while the ego, of course, does not. Your belief in |
D:6.4 | identify more intimately with the Self you truly are, the self of | form is likely to grow more and more foreign to you and less and less |
D:6.5 | about the end of the time of learning. But now your body—your | form—must be seen in a new way. It is thus with new ideas about the |
D:6.5 | will begin the final thought reversal that will allow you to live in | form as who you truly are. |
D:6.6 | you see among the living, is, in fact, living. It exists as living | form. And so we begin with a distinction between what exists as |
D:6.6 | And so we begin with a distinction between what exists as living | form, and what exists as inanimate or non-living form. While you |
D:6.6 | exists as living form, and what exists as inanimate or non-living | form. While you might think this is an easily drawn distinction—and |
D:6.6 | as you have previously seen it, for everything that exists in | form is of the same Source. Even those things you have made you have |
D:6.6 | truly real, or the energy of creation, in everything that exists in | form. |
D:6.22 | It is what it is in terms of flesh and bone, and it is also the | form that is now serving to represent the truth of who you are. How |
D:6.25 | extended life span came extended reasons for fear, and a physical | form that you came to believe needed greater and greater resources to |
D:6.26 | you may remember that change occurs in time. Outside of time and | form your Self has always existed in the perfect harmony in which it |
D:6.26 | it was created. Now that your Self has joined the elevated Self of | form, you exist together both in time and outside of time. Remember, |
D:6.26 | both in time and outside of time. Remember, the elevated Self of | form will never be all that you are. This does not imply however, |
D:6.26 | there are portions of your Self missing from this new experience in | form you now enter into, but that the elevated Self of form is now |
D:6.26 | experience in form you now enter into, but that the elevated Self of | form is now able to join with the Self in the unity of shared |
D:6.26 | the unity of shared consciousness. You are whole once again and your | form will merely represent one aspect of your wholeness in the field |
D:6.27 | The self of | form, as form, could never truly experience the All of Everything |
D:6.27 | The self of form, as | form, could never truly experience the All of Everything that is the |
D:6.27 | in unity, the All of Everything. So these two states, the state of | form and the state of unity, are both in existence right now. In the |
D:6.27 | of unity, your true Self is fully aware of the elevated Self of | form and is fully participating in its experiences and feelings. The |
D:6.27 | participating in its experiences and feelings. The elevated Self of | form, however, being a form that still exists in time, must realize |
D:6.27 | and feelings. The elevated Self of form, however, being a | form that still exists in time, must realize the consciousness of the |
D:6.27 | the true Self in time. What this means is that the elevated Self of | form may still need “time” to come to know the changes that only |
D:6.28 | Form and time go together. Yet you have been told time is a | |
D:7.1 | consciousness of unity you couldn’t know what the experience of | form would be like without entering into it, you cannot know the |
D:7.1 | of unity without entering into it. To “enter” into the experience of | form is something you can picture in your mind, and that you have |
D:7.1 | you have language to represent, because you are aware of the self of | form. To “enter” into the experience of unity is something more |
D:7.3 | that collapse time. This integration of levels is the integration of | form and unity. When Christ-consciousness is sustained, time will |
D:7.4 | Experiences of | form take place in time because experience, too, was designed for |
D:7.6 | Action is the bridge between | form and the formless because action is the expression of the self in |
D:7.6 | and the formless because action is the expression of the self in | form. “Right” action comes from the unity in which doing and being |
D:7.6 | is being all you are. Being all you are is what the elevated Self of | form represents. |
D:7.7 | time in history. Now you are called to discover how to exist in | form without being defined by this time-bound particularity. |
D:7.8 | That you are living | form does not require you to be defined by particularity. You can |
D:7.8 | is simply the nature of one aspect of what you are. The nature of | form is that it exists as matter, it occupies space and is |
D:7.8 | to the senses. You have previously seen this one aspect of | form as separating it from mind, heart, and spirit—those aspects |
D:7.12 | what you do not yet know about how to live as the elevated Self of | form. |
D:7.16 | you have been called to observe what is, what you are observing in | form are the representations of what is in time. Your envisioning too |
D:7.17 | desire, like observation and vision, is still related to the self of | form. It is a step toward full acceptance and awareness of who you |
D:7.17 | you are now and what this means as you become the elevated Self of | form. |
D:7.18 | or of unity. Time is thus what has separated the self that exists in | form from the Self that exists in union or the state of |
D:7.18 | —you have accepted existence as a new Self, the Self of elevated | form. You just do not yet understand what this means. |
D:7.20 | creation, rather than only with the time-bound field of creation of | form. As your awareness grows, you will begin to expand and express |
D:7.20 | to expand and express in new ways. Those ways thus now include the | form of your body without being limited to creation of, and in, form. |
D:7.20 | the form of your body without being limited to creation of, and in, | form. The body has thus joined creation in a non-time-bound way. |
D:7.25 | in time and proceed to an awareness of how the elevated Self of | form can replace the laws of evolution in time with the laws of |
D:8.3 | of you containing a natural ability or talent that existed in some | form prior to the time of learning. We concentrate on this idea |
D:9.13 | This is how you must now come to see your | form; it is that through which what already exists, what is already |
D:9.13 | comes or passes through by means of the expression of your | form and the interaction of your form with all you are in |
D:9.13 | by means of the expression of your form and the interaction of your | form with all you are in relationship with. |
D:9.14 | exist were able to pass through you in order to gain expression in | form; then you are beginning to see, on a small scale, the action |
D:10.1 | in the wider circle of unity is timeless. What comes to you in the | form of natural abilities or talents, as ideas, as imagination, as |
D:10.3 | of unity rather than the self of separation, the Self of elevated | form rather than the personal self. |
D:10.4 | the realm of time and space and involves the work and time of your | form in your form’s separate reality, is not of union but of the |
D:10.5 | what is and the expression of what is by the elevated Self of | form, that the new is created. What is becomes new by becoming |
D:10.5 | that the new is created. What is becomes new by becoming sharable in | form—or in other words, what is continues to become through the |
D:10.5 | becomes the goal and the accomplishment of the elevated Self of | form, the means through which the Self of union is known even in the |
D:10.6 | The goal and relationship of the elevated Self of | form is thus timeless, for it draws from the realm of unity and |
D:11.9 | we have been having about the body and the elevation of the self of | form? How might this relate to your desire to make a contribution and |
D:11.14 | In other words, the elevated Self of | form does not remain contained within the dot of the body but draws |
D:11.15 | the contribution, the unique contribution of each elevated Self of | form? The contribution becomes a contribution from the well of |
D:11.15 | its expression, its unique expression, through the elevated Self of | form. Why would you retain your desire to make an individual |
D:11.18 | the expression, the right-minded action of the elevated Self of | form, arises. Unity is the Source of these words. So is it said. So |
D:12.4 | While you think these words come to you through the written | form of this book, by means of your eyes and the decoding mechanism |
D:12.8 | what it is they have to say. You “hear” their thoughts through the | form of the spoken word. They do not then become “your” thoughts, but |
D:12.12 | Christ consciousness and live in the world as the elevated Self of | form. |
D:13.1 | especially as what you know grows beyond the realm of mind and body, | form and time. |
D:13.3 | be coming to know is already known to you, it will still come in the | form of a surprising discovery, a joyous discovery of the previously |
D:13.5 | You will realize that you know something you did not know before in | form, that it is important, monumental even; but you will be unable |
D:13.11 | you will, by living according to what you know to be the truth, | form the very relationships and union that will allow the truth to be |
D:14.4 | participate in the discovery that lies beyond the body and mind, | form and time. You will need to put into practice the suspension of |
D:14.12 | Becoming is all about a movement into | form or manifestation. You already are manifest in form, and so the |
D:14.12 | a movement into form or manifestation. You already are manifest in | form, and so the idea of becoming that has been with humankind |
D:14.12 | forms are complete in the physical sense of sustaining life. Your | form was birthed and you have celebrated many birth “days” since your |
D:14.13 | comes of unity and that extends and expresses itself through your | form, thus elevating the self of form. It is awareness, acceptance, |
D:14.13 | and expresses itself through your form, thus elevating the self of | form. It is awareness, acceptance, and discovery of what is beyond |
D:14.13 | form. It is awareness, acceptance, and discovery of what is beyond | form that allows the beginning of the transformation of what is |
D:14.13 | that allows the beginning of the transformation of what is beyond | form into expression in form. Awareness, acceptance, and discovery |
D:14.13 | of the transformation of what is beyond form into expression in | form. Awareness, acceptance, and discovery are, in short, what allow |
D:14.13 | form. Awareness, acceptance, and discovery are, in short, what allow | form to become the more it has so long been seeking to become. |
D:14.15 | This reality begins with awareness of what is beyond body and mind, | form and time. It proceeds to this awareness being accepted, adopted |
D:14.15 | we have spoken of, to the act of becoming the elevated Self of | form. You are thus entering the time of becoming, the time of |
D:14.17 | This wholeness of being is what lies beyond body and mind, | form and time. Becoming the elevated Self of form is becoming whole, |
D:14.17 | beyond body and mind, form and time. Becoming the elevated Self of | form is becoming whole, and will be the way in which source and cause |
D:14.17 | will be the way in which source and cause transform body and mind, | form and time. |
D:15.3 | Life and the movement of being into | form is what occurred when God “spoke” and the Word came into being. |
D:15.9 | made by many. What were the earth and water if they were not | form? |
D:15.10 | They were barren | form. Form unable to create or bear fruit. Form was simply barren |
D:15.10 | They were barren form. | Form unable to create or bear fruit. Form was simply barren form |
D:15.10 | They were barren form. Form unable to create or bear fruit. | Form was simply barren form before movement swept across it and |
D:15.10 | form. Form unable to create or bear fruit. Form was simply barren | form before movement swept across it and animated it with the |
D:15.10 | to the forms of the not yet elevated? What if the existence of | form was seen to predate the animation of that form with life and |
D:15.10 | if the existence of form was seen to predate the animation of that | form with life and spirit? Would this not be consistent with what we |
D:15.10 | this not even be consistent with spirit existing in every living | form from the beginning of time until the end of time? |
D:15.11 | begins and ends. Time is what began when life took on existence in | form and space. It is temporal rather than eternal. Alongside it, in |
D:15.11 | eternal life, not temporal life. There are no degrees of life. One | form is not more alive than another. All that lives contains the |
D:15.13 | when it is allowed pass-through, so too can spirit endlessly empower | form when it is allowed pass-through. |
D:16.1 | of wholeness that will be expressed in the elevated Self of | form. |
D:16.2 | or expression of that identity into the creation of wholeness in | form. |
D:16.3 | the perceived condition of lack. It is the belief that what animated | form with life did not remain. The belief that in the passing |
D:16.3 | The belief that in the passing through, a relationship did not | form. But as can be easily seen, the earth is no longer a formless |
D:16.3 | as can be easily seen, the earth is no longer a formless wasteland. | Form was animated with spirit and entered a state of becoming. You |
D:16.7 | Love is the spirit of the wind that animates all | form. Love is spirit, is God, is creation. Love is a description of |
D:16.7 | are all that remained in union, in eternal completion, when | form came into being. |
D:16.8 | extension of wholeness—into the seemingly separate identities of | form. The way of that extension was the way of the unified principles |
D:16.9 | from Creation, you cannot. But you can, while existing in time and | form, choose to stand apart from movement, being, and expression. You |
D:16.9 | you can be simply because you exist and that as long as you exist in | form you are being because you are being something. You are alive. |
D:16.9 | are being because you are being something. You are alive. You have | form. You think and feel. You have even been told that you would |
D:16.11 | Becoming is movement. Movement is given and becomes movement in | form. Being is given and becomes being in form. Expression is given |
D:16.11 | and becomes movement in form. Being is given and becomes being in | form. Expression is given and becomes expression in form. Since you |
D:16.11 | becomes being in form. Expression is given and becomes expression in | form. Since you were conceived in form, you were in movement. Since |
D:16.11 | is given and becomes expression in form. Since you were conceived in | form, you were in movement. Since you were conceived in form, you |
D:16.11 | conceived in form, you were in movement. Since you were conceived in | form, you were being. Since you were conceived in form, you were |
D:16.11 | were conceived in form, you were being. Since you were conceived in | form, you were expressing. It would be impossible for these |
D:16.13 | new you can create a new world. The new you is the elevated Self of | form who you are in the process of becoming. This time of becoming is |
D:16.13 | unity, and your sustainability of Christ-consciousness or unity, in | form. In your time of directly experiencing the movement, being, and |
D:16.15 | the time of learning and the time of being the elevated Self of | form; that times still exist in which you are not wholly present as |
D:17.1 | It comes in a never ending series rather than in singular | form. It is not true succession if there is a break in the chain or |
D:17.3 | this? Are you willing to claim it? Are you willing to claim it in | form and time? |
D:17.4 | Can you understand that what you claim in | form and time was always yours? |
D:17.24 | hero’s journey returns him home. To where he started from. In story | form, this takes place with movement. Years are spent traveling many |
D:Day1.2 | is. Acceptance is not belief, it is not prayer. I care not in what | form of the truth you believe, nor to what god you believe you send |
D:Day1.2 | your prayers; although if you do not believe in your Self above a | form of truth, and if you continue to send your prayers to a god who |
D:Day1.12 | of here. The power of the god man. The power of God brought into | form. The power of who we are rather than the power of who God is. |
D:Day1.18 | creation of man and woman. Adam and Eve represent your birth into | form. I represent your birth into what is beyond form. Adam and Eve |
D:Day1.18 | your birth into form. I represent your birth into what is beyond | form. Adam and Eve represent what occurred within you at the |
D:Day1.19 | As within, so without. In each of you is Adam and Eve represented in | form. In each of you am I represented in form. |
D:Day1.19 | Adam and Eve represented in form. In each of you am I represented in | form. |
D:Day1.24 | realization of paradise and of your true Self and true home, in a | form that will take you beyond time to eternity. |
D:Day1.25 | completion. It is a story whose completion cannot occur in singular | form, but as with any true inheritance only in a series, only in a |
D:Day1.26 | of events of creation include, thus far, the movement of being into | form and the movement of being beyond form. What will be realized |
D:Day1.26 | the movement of being into form and the movement of being beyond | form. What will be realized through the secret of succession is the |
D:Day1.26 | be realized through the secret of succession is the elevation of | form. |
D:Day1.29 | about the second coming of Christ and the elevation of the Self of | form. |
D:Day2.1 | for the final merging of the two into one Self, the elevated Self of | form. |
D:Day2.21 | You have accounts of my actions that begin with the appearance of my | form in the world, but that mainly occur during my time of maturity. |
D:Day3.3 | In the area of the body came another | form of learning about which you saw yourself as having little |
D:Day3.42 | place of unity is a place that does not interact with the place of | form. It is interacting with the world of form through you. |
D:Day3.42 | interact with the place of form. It is interacting with the world of | form through you. |
D:Day3.44 | state. What you are being asked to do here, is to open the self of | form to the place of unity, thus allowing this divine flow of union |
D:Day3.44 | thus allowing this divine flow of union into the elevated Self of | form. |
D:Day3.47 | believe the truth of the situation to be the reality of physical | form and of what you have or have not within the confines of that |
D:Day3.47 | form and of what you have or have not within the confines of that | form. This would be like still seeing the mind as the only source of |
D:Day3.54 | this is true. A great idea or great talent that is not brought into | form, that is not expressed, that is not shared, is no greater than a |
D:Day3.54 | recognized, acknowledged and accepted, before it can be brought into | form, expressed, and shared. What good would it do you to say “if I |
D:Day3.60 | resurrection you await. You prevent the elevation of the self of | form. |
D:Day4.33 | however, have applied a different kind of focus upon breathing as a | form of meditation. In doing so, they let the natural serve the |
D:Day4.38 | brothers and sisters, love of the natural world, of the world of | form that is, love of the idea of the new world that can be, all of |
D:Day4.40 | up to the portal of access to unity? Do you turn and look back at | form and matter? Or do you turn and look up where no form exists? Do |
D:Day4.40 | look back at form and matter? Or do you turn and look up where no | form exists? Do you believe you can choose the formless and still |
D:Day4.40 | choices? From where else could you so clearly see the choice between | form and the formless? |
D:Day4.41 | But what, you might ask, of the elevated Self of | form? Why is this suddenly a choice between one or the other? It is |
D:Day4.42 | think of yourself in this elevated place. You are still the self of | form despite the truth that you are literally with me in a place of |
D:Day4.42 | of high elevation. Is this what you choose to remain? A self of | form elevated by circumstance? A self of form on a high mountain? Or |
D:Day4.42 | choose to remain? A self of form elevated by circumstance? A self of | form on a high mountain? Or do you wish to carry this elevation back |
D:Day4.42 | back with you when you return? Do you wish to return the self of | form who once visited an altered state, this state of high elevation? |
D:Day4.43 | Or do you wish to go back transformed into the elevated Self of | form? Do you want to know this place of access and carry it within |
D:Day4.51 | You may have thought separation was the cause, but separation into | form, had it occurred within the realization of continuing |
D:Day5.4 | As we said yesterday, our | form of meditation, a meditation that is not a tool but a function of |
D:Day5.4 | feels natural to you. We give access a focal point in the realm of | form. |
D:Day5.5 | connection that arises from the earth and as if it is just below the | form of the physical body. Some could feel it in their hands and |
D:Day5.21 | to the world. This is the relationship you have with unity while in | form—a relationship of intersection and pass-through. |
D:Day5.22 | access to what you are given. We are speaking here of letting your | form serve union and union serve your form. This service is |
D:Day5.22 | speaking here of letting your form serve union and union serve your | form. This service is effortless for it is the way of creation. |
D:Day6.1 | unity, and your sustainability of Christ-consciousness, or unity, in | form. As was said earlier: To realize the state of becoming is to |
D:Day6.1 | the time of learning and the time of being the elevated Self of | form. This is what our time on this holy mountain is largely |
D:Day6.16 | know it. We are, after all, speaking of the elevation of the self of | form. This elevation must occur in life, in your life as it is, |
D:Day7.5 | your progress toward full awareness and the elevation of the self of | form, but as in the discussion of abundance, you may still feel |
D:Day7.5 | as in the discussion of abundance, you may still feel unsupported in | form. Realize now, that this makes no sense when our goal is the |
D:Day7.5 | now, that this makes no sense when our goal is the elevation of | form. If for no other reason, begin to accept this support of form |
D:Day7.5 | of form. If for no other reason, begin to accept this support of | form because it makes sense. It is logical. And realize further that |
D:Day7.6 | rather than from fear will have a major transformative effect on | form in this time of acceptance. Regeneration is a condition of the |
D:Day7.10 | own little world and created its own universe. The elevated Self of | form will expand into the world and create a new universe. This |
D:Day7.14 | the life of the Self, and will come to sustain the elevated Self of | form in a way as natural to you as breathing. |
D:Day7.17 | stage following the time of acceptance in which the elevated Self of | form will be created and come into full manifestation. |
D:Day8.13 | intolerant only of illusion and that this intolerance will take the | form of seeing only the truth rather than attempting to combat |
D:Day8.17 | are and be able to allow the Self of unity to merge with the self of | form, thus elevating the self of form. You will also, only in this |
D:Day8.17 | of unity to merge with the self of form, thus elevating the self of | form. You will also, only in this way, come to true expression of the |
D:Day8.17 | only in this way, come to true expression of the elevated Self of | form. Access and expression are both conditions of the present. |
D:Day8.23 | always that we work now to unite the Self of union with the self of | form. The self of form cannot be denied now. This is a continuation |
D:Day8.23 | now to unite the Self of union with the self of form. The self of | form cannot be denied now. This is a continuation of the reversal of |
D:Day8.25 | Non-acceptance in any | form is separating. |
D:Day9.5 | must precede true certainty in this time of elevation of the self of | form. The certainty that arises from unity is different from this |
D:Day9.5 | arises from unity is different from this confidence in the self of | form and they must be realized together for the elevation of the self |
D:Day9.5 | and they must be realized together for the elevation of the self of | form to take place. What good will be the certainty of unity if the |
D:Day9.5 | take place. What good will be the certainty of unity if the self of | form has no confidence in its ability to express it? Expression of |
D:Day9.5 | Expression of the certainty of unity is what the elevated Self of | form is all about. Certainty of mind and heart has been realized by |
D:Day9.5 | heart has been realized by many. The expression of that certainty in | form has not. |
D:Day9.10 | The image of the ideal self you hold in your mind, no matter what | form it takes, is still an image, and must now be done without if you |
D:Day9.11 | An ideal image is an idol. It is symbolic rather than real. It has | form only within your mind and has no substance. To work toward, or |
D:Day9.25 | release the beauty of expression in all its forms. You have a given | form that is perfect for your expression of the beauty and truth of |
D:Day9.27 | the beauty and truth of who you are. You came into the world of | form incapable of not expressing the beauty and truth of who you are. |
D:Day9.33 | Trust in your own abilities—the abilities of the self of | form joined with the Self of union—will be your confidence. Only |
D:Day10.1 | to harness the cause and effect power of love. It is a quality of | form as well as a quality of union. Form is the ultimate expression |
D:Day10.1 | of love. It is a quality of form as well as a quality of union. | Form is the ultimate expression of the power of creation. The power |
D:Day10.1 | of the power of creation. The power of creation, harnessed by | form in the service of form is the next step in the expansion of the |
D:Day10.1 | creation. The power of creation, harnessed by form in the service of | form is the next step in the expansion of the power of creation. It |
D:Day10.1 | of the power of creation. It is the power of the elevated Self of | form. |
D:Day10.2 | of union must be combined with the confidence of the self of | form? Certainty is knowing that this power exists. Confidence is the |
D:Day10.2 | power is to rely on the connection that exists between the self of | form and the Self of union and to, through this reliance, tie the two |
D:Day10.6 | seems to come from a place “other than” or beyond the self of | form, you will instinctively have greater trust in it. You will |
D:Day10.6 | believe it comes from a place “other than” or beyond the self of | form because it comes in the form of certainty. |
D:Day10.6 | “other than” or beyond the self of form because it comes in the | form of certainty. |
D:Day10.12 | Feelings come from the innate knowing of the self of | form—in short, from the body. The body is the “given” form and |
D:Day10.12 | the self of form—in short, from the body. The body is the “given” | form and while it was the perfect vehicle for learning in the time of |
D:Day10.12 | into the perfect vehicle for the realization of the elevated Self of | form. During this transformation, we work with what is as well as |
D:Day10.12 | you to become aware of and accept than the confidence in the self of | form that must accompany it. In developing the confidence of the self |
D:Day10.12 | that must accompany it. In developing the confidence of the self of | form, we work with what has been in a new way, and as you all know |
D:Day10.15 | feel from unity and the confidence you need to feel in the self of | form. Reflect further on your idea of certainty coming from a place |
D:Day10.19 | the consciousness that we truly share. I came to you in the | form of the consciousness of the man I once was because you were, |
D:Day10.19 | of the individual and the universal, is what the elevated Self of | form must encompass. |
D:Day10.20 | but to accept that the man Jesus was simply a representation, in | form, of Christ-consciousness. I do, however, ask you to give up your |
D:Day10.20 | that this is the voice that will now animate the elevated Self of | form, or in other words, you. |
D:Day10.26 | would have no place within the ideal self or the elevated Self of | form. |
D:Day10.27 | an idea as I can give you of how to imagine the elevated Self of | form, as not much different than you are now, but peaceful and free |
D:Day10.28 | it? And do you not, in all honesty, think that even in whatever | form or lack of form they now occupy, they do not like it, even now, |
D:Day10.28 | you not, in all honesty, think that even in whatever form or lack of | form they now occupy, they do not like it, even now, even beyond the |
D:Day11.2 | which we exist. This is the great paradox that unites the world of | form and the world of spirit, the world of separation with the world |
D:Day11.2 | means to see past the world of illusion to the truth of the union of | form and spirit, separate selves and the One Self. |
D:Day11.3 | The elevation of the self of | form is nothing but the recognition of the One Self within the Self. |
D:Day11.5 | or the observed. This is as true of God as it is of the self of | form. God is the oneness and the separation. Life is the |
D:Day11.7 | Because it is that which differentiates, it is that which has taken | form as well as that from which form arose. It is the expression of |
D:Day11.7 | it is that which has taken form as well as that from which | form arose. It is the expression of oneness in relationship with Its |
D:Day11.8 | Life is the connecting tissue of the web of | form with the divine All. Life is consciousness. Christ-consciousness |
D:Day12.2 | Imagine the air around you being visible and your | form an invisible space within the visible surroundings. This is the |
D:Day12.2 | of Christ-consciousness. Consciousness may seem to be embodied by | form but the reverse is true and has always been true. The body is |
D:Day12.3 | The merging of | form with Christ-consciousness is this merging of the Self with the |
D:Day12.4 | everything. Space is neither divided nor separated nor occupied by | form. Space is all that is. Christ-consciousness is the space of all |
D:Day12.5 | is now a feeling, conscious space, unhindered by any obstacles of | form. |
D:Day12.6 | When an obstacle of | form, be it human or material in nature, seems to present itself, all |
D:Day12.6 | remind yourself that space has replaced what was once your self of | form. Feel the love of the space that is you. All obstacles will |
D:Day12.7 | All obstacles of | form are only real in the world of form, a world that is perceived |
D:Day12.7 | All obstacles of form are only real in the world of | form, a world that is perceived rather than known. |
D:Day12.7 | than known. Christ-consciousness replaces perception with knowing, | form with space. |
D:Day12.9 | not been made solid by perception. A seeming obstacle of non-human | form is easily enfolded in the space of the One Self and can be moved |
D:Day13.1 | Once the One Self became | form and knew Its Self, it knew separate thought. The separate |
D:Day13.1 | thought. The separate thoughts of the one self, rather than the | form of the one self, allowed for the knowing of the self that |
D:Day13.2 | The “one” self of | form is the self you were born into. The one self of form comes to |
D:Day13.2 | “one” self of form is the self you were born into. The one self of | form comes to know the One Self through relationship with other |
D:Day13.2 | with other selves experiencing oneness through being selves of | form. |
D:Day13.3 | You are thus not meant to lose the experience of the self of | form but to integrate it so that you are both the many and the one. |
D:Day13.5 | creates formidable obstacles, or in other words, obstacles of solid | form that contain no spaciousness. Solid form is actually a void, a |
D:Day13.5 | words, obstacles of solid form that contain no spaciousness. Solid | form is actually a void, a substance devoid of spaciousness, a form |
D:Day13.5 | Solid form is actually a void, a substance devoid of spaciousness, a | form that is form only. These forms are still encompassed by the |
D:Day13.5 | actually a void, a substance devoid of spaciousness, a form that is | form only. These forms are still encompassed by the loving space of |
D:Day13.6 | Imagine the spacious Self as an invisible Self, a Self whose | form is transparent. Through this transparency, the reality of the |
D:Day13.6 | all, is apparent. The spaciousness of love, the lovely complexity of | form, the awesome majesty of nature, all are visible within the One |
D:Day13.6 | Self because of the invisibility of the one boundary-less Self of | form. All of creation is present and apparent in this boundary-less |
D:Day13.6 | of creation is present and apparent in this boundary-less Self of | form. This Self is everything and everyone. Because it is everything |
D:Day13.7 | fearless and totally spacious, for fear is part of the density of | form, being a lack of love. |
D:Day14.9 | to all. Relationship is the invisible reality only expressed through | form. |
D:Day14.12 | Your acceptance of these words is a | form of acceptance of the unknown and as such a means of coming to |
D:Day14.14 | the means of sharing your access to unity, the manifestation, in | form, of the healed and whole and thus spacious Self. |
D:Day15.4 | or knowing. You do this by taking what is into your spacious | form rather than observing it as separate from you. |
D:Day15.6 | mass of the forms you observed. Yet it is the spirit that animates | form that is real. Informing could be understood as making the spirit |
D:Day15.6 | Informing could be understood as making the spirit known in the | form of physicality. It is not simply the bringing of spirit into |
D:Day15.6 | form of physicality. It is not simply the bringing of spirit into | form but the making known of spirit in form. What you made known |
D:Day15.6 | the bringing of spirit into form but the making known of spirit in | form. What you made known through judgment-free observation was but |
D:Day15.7 | The difference between simply bringing spirit into | form and making spirit known through form is the difference for which |
D:Day15.7 | simply bringing spirit into form and making spirit known through | form is the difference for which the time has come. The observation |
D:Day15.8 | The animation of | form with spirit is an ongoing aspect of creation. It is thus not |
D:Day15.8 | of the body and then cease to be. It is not about life and making | form alive but about spirit and informing spirit. It is about making |
D:Day15.8 | and informing spirit. It is about making spirit known through the | form of physicality. |
D:Day15.10 | This is the new realm of power that few in physical | form have practiced and that has never been practiced by many at one |
D:Day15.16 | that may have remained within them that Christ-consciousness is a | form of “group think.” Never will you feel more like an individual |
D:Day15.28 | now debunked your myths about your true identity being an idealized | form of the self. Now are you ready, through your ability to view |
D:Day16.3 | What is of | form comes and goes and is impermanent. What is of spirit, or |
D:Day16.4 | became physical. What is not of consciousness is of physical | form. The rejected feelings that became physical were made separate |
D:Day16.4 | feelings are those for which you blame yourself. Sickness is the | form of manifestation of rejected feelings. These manifestations come |
D:Day16.5 | These manifest in your interactions with the world, taking on | form in the actions of others, in instances where acts of nature or |
D:Day17.1 | as the merging of the human and the divine into observable | form. Thus there must be a difference between life-consciousness and |
D:Day17.2 | identity. Christ is the “I Am” of God, the expression of “I Am” in | form, the animator and the animated, the informer and the informed, |
D:Day17.2 | being, and expression of creation. Christ is that which anointed | form with the “I Am” of God. In many religious traditions, life is |
D:Day17.5 | Those like Jesus, who fully expressed Christ-consciousness in | form, did so as individuals, by not negating their being as they |
D:Day17.7 | 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 | This being was fully expressed by Jesus Christ, who represented, in | form, the first coming and who began the movement from maintenance to |
D:Day17.8 | Representation of the power of Christ-consciousness in human | form was necessary to complete the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. |
D:Day17.9 | Christ-consciousness and full expression of Christ-consciousness in | form. Each did so in individual ways, ways that revealed the choices |
D:Day17.10 | with the world, demonstrating the myth of duality, the death of | form, the resurrection of spirit. The way of Mary represented |
D:Day17.10 | through relationship, demonstrating the truth of union, the birth of | form, and the ascension of the body. Both ways were necessary. Both |
D:Day18.2 | be essential for the birth of the new and in truth symbolizes it in | form and process. As within, so without. Mary represents the |
D:Day18.4 | known by, and to, the many. It is full acceptance of the Self in a | form that can be distinguished, or individuated from the rest. It is |
D:Day18.6 | and divine and thus accomplished the resurrection of the eternal in | form. Your virgin state, the state unaltered by the separation, has |
D:Day18.10 | The new visual pattern is that of spirit resurrected in | form. It is the ascension of the body, or elevation of the self of |
D:Day18.10 | form. It is the ascension of the body, or elevation of the self of | form. You are called to demonstrate this pattern. The choice is to |
D:Day19.1 | called to something, and something important, but it does not have a | form within your mind and so you see not how it can become manifest |
D:Day19.14 | of this way is not discovered through the passing on of knowledge in | form but through relationship. Those following the way of Mary become |

D:Day27.2 | before believed you were capable of. This certainty is beginning to | form within you but will not come into its fullness except through |
D:Day27.2 | through experience. This certainty has only been able to begin to | form within you because you have agreed to this mountain top |
D:Day27.6 | experience. You are and always have been both human and spirit, both | form and content. Now you contain within you the ability to combine |
D:Day27.10 | both levels of experience, the internal and the external, the | form and the content, the human and the divine, is to elevate the |
D:Day27.10 | and the content, the human and the divine, is to elevate the self of | form, or, in other words, to be what you have always been: Whole. |
D:Day27.15 | separation and variability through experience. The elevated Self of | form will be the expression of new life lived within the constant of |

D:Day36.17 | God remains God who is one in being with all, and God also is given | form, or is, in other words, differentiated. God is All in All. And |
D:Day37.26 | creation. To differentiate in union and relationship is to be God in | form—to give expression to “all” that exists in union and |
D:Day37.29 | Like heart, mind, and body is to your | form, being, union, and relationship is to God’s “form.” |

D:Day40.10 | being of love is to bring form to the formless—to bring love into | form. |
D:Day40.11 | Love has no attributes, no | form, no conditions, no nature. It simply is. It was said earlier |

T2:10.8 | Just beyond your mind’s ability to call it | forth lies the truth that you and all other beings know. The access |

T2:12.8 | you, as a miracle-minded being, are not called upon to also call | forth the treasure that exists around you? When you call to those |

T2:13.4 | taking place around you, practice the beliefs that have been put | forth in this Treatise. Know that, in the time of unity, the truth |
T2:13.6 | journey together is just beginning as we return to the premise put | forth in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought:” that of the elevation of |
T3:2.4 | has been built around this system. Now, along with the beliefs put | forth in “A Treatise on Unity,” you are asked to accept a new belief |
T3:7.2 | is not needed for the truth. Thus you can see that the beliefs put | forth in “A Treatise on Unity” are necessary only to return you to |
T3:16.6 | human experience. All of these temptations relate to the beliefs set | forth in “A Treatise on Unity.” |
T3:22.1 | take you, for surely your life must change. The very precepts put | forth within this Course, precepts that say that the internal affects |

D:10.2 | of learning. Notice the inability of teaching or learning to call | forth talents, ideas, imagination, inspiration, instinct, intuition, |
D:10.4 | to call your own. You thus must begin to realize that the bringing | forth of the accomplishment that already exists in unity is your new |
D:10.6 | of unity. This is an expression of the Biblical injunction to “Go | forth and multiply.” It is about increase. To be content with |
D:11.13 | unity. In our union we bear the sameness of the Son of God. In going | forth with the vision of unity you become as I was during life. You |
D:11.13 | do not think your way through life, but instead draw your knowing | forth from the well of spirit, from the shared consciousness from |
D:14.13 | Again, these ideas can be likened to the ideas put | forth in “A Treatise on Unity and Its Recognition” when it was said |

T4:2.8 | I belabor this point because you literally cannot proceed to | full awareness while ideas such as more and better remain in you. As |
T4:2.10 | to be separate, you will not become fully aware of the new time. | Full awareness of the new is what this Treatise seeks to accomplish |
T4:2.19 | is. This type of thinking will not serve the new or allow you | full awareness of the new. |
T4:3.6 | there is a natural state of being that is joyful, effortless, and | full of love. For every being existing in time there is also an |
T4:3.8 | make one final judgment in which you find everything to be good and | full of love. Once all has been judged with the vision of love, |
T4:6.6 | who are not ready to make it. I call you to a new choice with the | full realization that your choice alone will affect millions of your |
T4:7.8 | choice is wrong. Some will choose to continue to learn through the | full variety of the human experience even after it is unnecessary. |

D:3.12 | Self of form, and what we work toward through this dialogue is your | full awareness of what this means. |
D:3.13 | Helping you to achieve | full awareness of who you are is different than helping you to learn. |
D:3.13 | of what you know. Acceptance is easily achieved through willingness. | Full awareness in form of what has previously been hidden by the |
D:3.16 | As the Self, you are giver and receiver. Your Self is a | full participant in this dialogue. You as the Self are the truth. You |
D:3.20 | as long as the patterns of the new are accepted and lived with your | full awareness. |
D:7.17 | vision, is still related to the self of form. It is a step toward | full acceptance and awareness of who you are now and what this means |
D:11.6 | just as learning now no longer serves you? If you reach a state of | full acceptance of who you are, and in that state, fully accept that |
D:11.10 | well of spirit from which true answers are drawn. Your heart is a | full well, a wellspring from which you can continually draw with no |
D:13.9 | of unity alone. Why then would you think that you could come to | full expression of what you have come to know without sharing in |
D:16.3 | To be barren is to be empty. Empty is the opposite of | full, the opposite of wholeness. It is the perceived condition of |
D:17.9 | would hope to best. It simply is what it is: A moment of presence | full of both desire and fulfillment. |
D:17.14 | just as learning now no longer serves you? If you reach a state of | full acceptance of who you are, and in that state, fully accept that |
D:17.15 | Your heart is a | full well. It is because you have now turned to your heart, instead |
D:17.19 | desire to reverence is to move into the state of communion with God, | full oneness with God, wholeness. |
D:Day2.1 | Self is acceptance of your inheritance. Now is the time to come into | full acceptance of the human self as well as the Self of unity. It is |
D:Day4.7 | same way that you do. Early man had no language. His mind was not | full of thoughts. Early man and early childhood can thus be linked as |
D:Day4.44 | it all, accept it all—for you cannot have of this in parts. Once | full access has been revealed, what is yours is everything. But you |
D:Day4.49 | I can make you aware of until you have made your choice and have | full realization of your access to unity. You will be able, of |
D:Day4.51 | To be called to make a new choice before | full acceptance of what is would be confusing. You who are thinking |
D:Day4.51 | You who are thinking that you have not moved through the stages to | full acceptance answer now as to what is stopping you. Do you choose |
D:Day4.53 | As we move into | full access and awareness of unity, love is all that is required. |
D:Day5.1 | A point of access will no longer be needed once | full entry is attained, just as a key is no longer needed once a door |
D:Day5.22 | is gone, effort remains, and while it remains, you will not realize | full access to what you are given. We are speaking here of letting |
D:Day5.26 | It is a constant exchange. When you are fully aware of this is when | full access is attained. So we will continue our work now in |
D:Day5.26 | now in releasing you from those things that would still block your | full awareness. |

D:Day6.10 | You are a work of art headed for this oneness of | full and true expression. No stage you pass through to reach this |
D:Day6.19 | are developing in this elevated place within that will bring to your | full realization and manifestation without the accomplishment that |
D:Day7.5 | may feel supported in your spiritual life, in your progress toward | full awareness and the elevation of the self of form, but as in the |
D:Day7.17 | in which the elevated Self of form will be created and come into | full manifestation. |
D:Day8.17 | —in the present, as you are—for only by doing so will you come to | full acceptance of who you are and be able to allow the Self of unity |
D:Day8.27 | you cannot only focus on unity when you are still in need of this | full acceptance or you will not reach the place of sustainability. |
D:Day10.24 | having a monologue, but we are having a dialogue in which you are a | full participant. As much of what you read in these dialogues comes |
D:Day14.1 | acceptance of the spacious Self, the One Self, and the many, that | full acceptance is actually achieved and complete transformation |
D:Day16.1 | Accepting everything that can’t be seen, including the unknown, is | full consciousness. Acceptance is key. You can’t accept what you fear. |

D:Day17.9 | Mary. Mary, like Jesus, realized full Christ-consciousness and | full expression of Christ-consciousness in form. Each did so in |
D:Day18.4 | life is to choose to be made known by, and to, the many. It is | full acceptance of the Self in a form that can be distinguished, or |
D:Day18.4 | form that can be distinguished, or individuated from the rest. It is | full acceptance of difference as well as sameness and of the |
D:Day18.7 | you do this must be chosen, and for this choice to be made with | full consciousness, you must rely on your feelings. |

D:Day33.13 | of its cry within moments of being born. Many a teenager develops | full realization of the power of their independence. In other words, |
D:Day33.15 | with everything and everyone all of the time, is to realize the | full extent of your power. You cannot realize that you are in |
D:Day35.14 | Being a creator must begin with | full realization of oneness of being, which is unity, because without |
D:Day35.14 | of oneness of being, which is unity, because without this | full realization the potential exists for conditions other than love |

D:Day38.4 | Being | full of love for one another is the beginning of extension, the end |
