C:I.10 | There is no “everyone” to whom I speak, to whom I | give these words. There is no single, no solitary, no separate mind |

C:P.20 | deed here, a bit of charity there, is more important. You prefer to | give up on yourself and to help others, without realizing that you |

C:2.4 | Love is the name you | give to much you fear. You think that it is possible to choose it as |
C:2.9 | you perceive must be made known to you before you are willing to | give it up. You do know this, and yet you constantly forget. This |
C:2.19 | daily battles and works for your final abdication, the day that you | give up and admit defeat. It challenges your right to happiness and |
C:3.7 | your meaning, and still your meaning is truer than its form. You | give all meaning to everything, and thus you populate your world with |

C:4.12 | unfailingly. For each or any one of these that you admire, you | give attributes that you do not have and that you might one day |

C:5.25 | what has once failed to work will surely fail again. Stop now and | give up what you think you want. |
C:5.26 | your reaction to these words, the strength of your resistance. | Give up what you want? This is surely what you have expected God to |
C:5.26 | your life be for? You want so little really. How can you be asked to | give this up? |
C:6.11 | This is the heaven of your mind, the meaning you | give to joining, the face you put on eternal peace. With such a |
C:6.13 | life you have made, and the life you fear heaven would replace. To | give up the idea that this is where meaning is found, fulfillment |
C:6.14 | Few ask for the grace to | give up what has been for what could be. For giving up is seen as |

C:7.8 | piece of yourself that you won’t let go. As you learn that what you | give you will receive in truth, you will see that what abides within |
C:7.9 | set aside there. When you believe that this is so and that what you | give away you will receive in truth, you will throw open the doors to |
C:7.11 | have an excuse—or several excuses—for a bad day. Why should you | give anything to anyone when your day has already treated you so |
C:7.16 | away from all the rest, what you hold for ransom and do not freely | give, you do not have the use of for yourself. Those ideas that you |

C:9.3 | keep within yourself, and the love that you imagine you receive and | give—is tainted by your fear and cannot be real love. It is because |
C:9.19 | beneath the surface, and behind each alternative label you would | give it, in a desperate attempt to see it not. To live in fear is, |
C:9.21 | dark and dangerous place. She is cold, and you prepare a fire and | give her a warm blanket for her knees. He is hungry and you prepare a |
C:9.21 | you would keep outside your doors, and from your inner sanctum you | give this one a respite from the war that rages beyond it. All of |
C:9.22 | feed the hungry, to quench the thirst of the thirsty, to welcome and | give rest to the stranger. I have said when you do this unto others |
C:9.25 | All that you are asked to | give up is your insane notion that you are alone. We speak much of |
C:9.33 | use and allowed it to become the user. With your own two hands you | give away all your happiness and power to that which you have made! |
C:9.33 | faulty memory would tell you that your Creator did. God alone can | give free will. In giving your power to things like your body and to |
C:9.42 | and which is slave when both are held in bondage? The glory you | give idols is but bondage as well. Without your idolatry their glory |
C:9.48 | are all that call you to the strange behavior you display? Those who | give in to abuse are merely calling louder for the selfsame love that |
C:10.8 | I tell you this not to discourage you, but to encourage you not to | give up. Your purpose now is the holiest possible and all of heaven |
C:10.8 | willingness. All that can cause you to fail is giving up. I | give you these examples that will make you say, “It will not be |

C:11.10 | And so you | give to God a little faith and cherish your free will, the true god |

C:11.17 | give what you do not yet know, and when you know it you need not | give it, for it will extend from you naturally in miracles called |
C:13.3 | and need to cease attempting the exercise at that time. If you | give this exercise just the tiniest bit of consistent practice, |
C:13.5 | soon find that what you recall of spirit is love. You will want to | give it many names at first, and might not even recognize it as love, |
C:13.8 | the little self you think you are is worth the minutes you would | give to its contemplation. |
C:14.8 | would say to you. Only the opposite is true. You are asked rather to | give up the laws of chaos for the laws of reason. The laws of |
C:14.23 | that seems to make it change is the function or purpose you would | give it. It is but you who gave heaven the purpose of giving you |
C:14.23 | prove your rightness and your success after you are gone. Love you | give the same purpose, but bid it do the job of rewarding you here |
C:14.24 | of neither is what you have ascribed it to be. The purpose you | give each thing within your world is what makes it what it is to you. |
C:14.26 | to another’s specialness unless you hold onto your own. And what you | give to others you keep for yourself. Give another specialness, and |
C:14.26 | onto your own. And what you give to others you keep for yourself. | Give another specialness, and you keep it for yourself as well as see |
C:14.31 | coming instead of to reject it once again. For your refusal to | give up specialness is your refusal of the Christ in you and a |
C:15.1 | not see how intricately linked these two desires are? The desire to | give and receive specialness is the driving desire of your life, and |
C:15.1 | the maladies of the current time as well as those of history would | give way to love without the interference of all that would make |
C:15.3 | is easily wounded, the self that takes on grievances and refuses to | give them up, the self that is prone to pettiness and bitterness, |
C:15.5 | a certain amount of money. You would not be special if you did not | give this one certain gifts and opportunities, nor would you fulfill |
C:15.9 | unlike others of your kind, you would call an act of treachery. To | give your allegiance to your Father and to the learning goals this |
C:15.12 | You who still fantasize that you can have it both ways, | give up your fantasy and realize that real choice lies before you. |
C:16.9 | or with fear. It calls to you to accept forgiveness that you may | give it and henceforth look upon the forgiven world with love. |
C:16.14 | You think you cannot | give up your vigilance because you know no other way to ensure your |
C:16.14 | for this occasional protection that has no validity and no proof you | give up love! |
C:16.15 | all that make your life worth living. You think that to be asked to | give up the caution, protection, and vigilance that protects these |
C:16.23 | God forsakes no people, but people forsake God when they | give away their power and claim not their birthright. Your birthright |
C:16.24 | God wants no sacrifice from you, yet when you | give away your power you make of yourself a sacrificial lamb, an |
C:16.24 | same history but in different form. If a talented physician were to | give up his power to heal you would surely call it a waste, and yet |
C:16.24 | up his power to heal you would surely call it a waste, and yet you | give up your power to be who you are and think it is just the way |
C:16.24 | power to be who you are and think it is just the way life is. You | give away your power and then bow down to those whom you have given |
C:17.16 | of your mind rather than the compassion of your heart is to only | give thought to forgiveness. This many of you will give, even to |
C:17.16 | heart is to only give thought to forgiveness. This many of you will | give, even to deciding to forgive despite your better judgment. See |
C:18.13 | be birthed as an idea. To hear or learn of another’s idea is not to | give birth to it. You thus must each experience the birth of the idea |
C:18.13 | from the desire to know from which all ideas are born, in order to | give it life. |
C:20.41 | are not wanting. You would not be other than you are except when you | give in to making judgments. Look deeply and you will see that what |
C:21.8 | is achieved. Until unity is achieved you do not understand that you | give meaning to all things, and that there is nothing and no one |
C:22.10 | passes and your awareness of it that determines the meaning you | give it. You are much more like unto the layers of the onion than the |
C:25.7 | true service. True service does not look for what another has to | give or what another has that you might use. True service recognizes |
C:26.7 | meaning and letting fear keep you from seeking the meaning you would | give it. You feel no inherent sense of purpose, no grace, no meaning |
C:26.7 | sense of purpose, no grace, no meaning beyond what you would | give to your own endeavors. |
C:28.5 | it is a beginning only, a true dawn that must, as the sun rises, | give way to day and the brilliance and clarity of the wisdom of which |
C:28.10 | Now is the time to step beyond the validation that your teachers can | give you. When this step is not taken, gatherings of witnesses |
C:28.12 | you feel the need to convince others of your belief, the need to | give form to what is beyond form misses the point of what you have |
C:29.3 | service to God is not to be a slave to God but to attend to God. To | give God your attention and your care. You who would cry, God make |
C:29.3 | and your care. You who would cry, God make use of me, only need to | give to God your devotion and your willingness to serve instead of |
C:31.6 | more than your conscious mind could handle. You could not possibly | give all the commands necessary if such commands were needed. |
C:31.10 | Give up this notion of losing your Self to God, and you will be done | |
C:31.20 | you with nothing but the truth of who you are. Thus, what you | give through sharing you gain in truth. No other type of gain is |
C:32.5 | words of love and let the sound of love soothe your worries away. | Give to me the thoughts that remain to trouble you and I will return |
T1:1.2 | being requires further guidance. Thus this Treatise will attempt to | give specific examples of what to look for as your learning |
T1:1.3 | The first instruction I | give to you is to seek no more. All that you are in need of knowing |
T1:1.5 | from illusion will have no meaning to you now and will allow you to | give up any remnants of false learning you acquired. All that you |
T1:2.3 | your “answer” everywhere, but here is where it lies. It is yours to | give and can only be given to love from love. Only in giving is it |
T1:2.17 | Yet to rise above this lower order of experience is to receive and to | give back. First the sunset is experienced for what it is. It is |
T1:3.5 | extend? How can what is controlled create? How can what continues to | give in to fear know love? All your reasons for fear-based living |
T1:4.9 | it belongs, in the call to respond. This response is only yours to | give and is all you are asked to give. This response comes from |
T1:4.9 | This response is only yours to give and is all you are asked to | give. This response comes from within the Self—the rightly |
T1:4.13 | Can a father not be guided by responsibility and still fail to | give love? Can a dancer not struggle mightily to perfect her talent |
T1:4.20 | will come to you from a response that is uniquely you. But you must | give up your penchant for interpretation before you can learn to |
T1:4.25 | you count yourself among the fearful or not, please continue to | give me your attention just a while longer as we uncover all that |
T1:9.8 | receiving must be one in truth. Yet it seems there must be one to | give and one to receive. You have long waited to receive what you |
T1:9.13 | Lest you fight these ideas as stereotypical, I will | give just a few brief examples. These I ask you to cull from your own |
T1:10.3 | given yourself over to those highs and lows? You will be tempted to | give yourself over once again in this most human of ways. You will |
T1:10.3 | human experience. This is the known that you will be tempted not to | give up. If you can’t be moved from your peace by the greatest of |
T1:10.5 | between the divine and the human. Is heaven worth enough to you to | give up hell? |
T1:10.7 | Are you being asked to | give up extremes? Yes. You are being asked to give up all that would |
T1:10.7 | Are you being asked to give up extremes? Yes. You are being asked to | give up all that would take peace from you. But as you have been told |
T1:10.9 | as this one. You will think that I cannot possibly be asking you to | give up these types of experiences. But you have already had them! I |
T1:10.9 | of experiences. But you have already had them! I ask you not to | give them up. Only to make now a new choice. |
T2:7.11 | a very concrete way. For to go out into the world with the desire to | give, either expecting to receive in certain measure or to receive |
T2:7.13 | will not accept giving and receiving as one if you feel able only to | give or as if “others” have nothing you would receive. |
T2:7.15 | with the world. It is also about giving the world the opportunity to | give back. It is about recognizing the constant and ongoing exchange |
T2:7.18 | cease to be. You who are beginning to realize that you have much to | give, realize that you have as much to receive and that receiving |
T2:8.3 | What you gain will take nothing from anyone. What another is able to | give you will take nothing from them, and what you are able to give |
T2:8.3 | to give you will take nothing from them, and what you are able to | give another will take nothing from you. |
T2:9.8 | you already have as the already accomplished. All that you would | give will take nothing away from you. |
T2:9.17 | long be held. It is only through the inhaling and exhaling, the | give and take of breathing that you live. Each time you are tempted |
T2:10.16 | learn for the sake of learning alone, still they would be loath to | give up or let go the ability to choose their lessons. And still we |
T2:12.7 | is not only something you receive but something you must learn to | give. As you have come to see calling as a gift and a treasure as |
T2:12.7 | to call forth intercession as a gift and treasure you are able to | give in service to your brothers and sisters. |
T3:2.11 | not God who abandoned you, but you who abandoned your Self and God. | Give up your desire to think that if you did such a thing there was a |
T3:4.2 | or of habit. It asks not for monks or clones. It asks not that you | give up anything but illusion, which is the giving up of nothing. |
T3:6.1 | Can you | give up your desire for reward? To give up your desire for reward is |
T3:6.1 | Can you give up your desire for reward? To | give up your desire for reward is to give up a childish desire that |
T3:6.1 | up your desire for reward? To give up your desire for reward is to | give up a childish desire that has become like unto a plague among |
T3:6.1 | reward. This is your desire to be given to in return for what you | give. This stems from your idea of yourself as a “child” of God, and |
T3:14.11 | the ego, has existed in all. If your brother or sister would not | give up bitterness in order to usher in a world of peace, would you |
T3:15.1 | new relationships. Parents have welcomed home errant children to | give them the chance to begin again. At all stages of life new |
T3:15.5 | When attempting to | give oneself or another a new beginning, you often act “as if” you |
T3:15.7 | there is a core, a center to each that is unchangeable, you must now | give up the idea that this core or center has been represented by the |
T3:16.1 | and sacrifices are, in truth, unacceptable to God. You are asked to | give up nothing but unwillingness. |
T3:16.2 | is the same as saying that you do not need to, and in truth, cannot, | give anything else or anything less. You do not need to give your |
T3:16.2 | cannot, give anything else or anything less. You do not need to | give your effort to this calling. You do not need to struggle to |
T3:16.10 | truth it is being said that you are lacking only in what you do not | give. The belief in lack is a temptation of the human experience. |
T3:16.10 | to do without, this is not the case. You are simply being asked to | give that you might receive and to receive that you might give. |
T3:16.10 | asked to give that you might receive and to receive that you might | give. |
T3:20.18 | to leave the old behind. This is a price they must freely | give and it cannot be extorted from them, not from special ones of |
T3:21.24 | no “other” who can follow the call meant for you. No other who can | give the response you are meant to give. Do not make any false plans |
T3:21.24 | meant for you. No other who can give the response you are meant to | give. Do not make any false plans that give your power to others more |
T3:21.24 | the response you are meant to give. Do not make any false plans that | give your power to others more learned of this Course than you to be |
T3:21.24 | life are those who will lead the way for others to follow. Do not | give in to the idea that one special one is needed nor give to any |
T3:21.24 | Do not give in to the idea that one special one is needed nor | give to any one a role you would not claim for yourself. No leaders |
T3:22.9 | level that will engage you in something “to do,” the level that will | give an outlet for the excitement that has been building within you. |
T3:22.12 | that this creative tension would not necessarily be a good thing to | give up. You do not know how to reach beyond what was for what will |
T4:1.1 | 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 you that |
T4:1.25 | the truth will exclude much that they would want to try before they | give into its pull and settle there. But all have become aware that a |
T4:6.6 | sisters, as long as—and this is a crucial as long as—you do not | give in to ideas of separation and disunity. |
T4:10.1 | in the true role of learner. You are now asked to be willing to | give up the role of learner and to believe that you will become |
T4:10.2 | hard for you to imagine because as you consider your willingness to | give up learning you will meet resistance and realize, for perhaps |
T4:12.11 | dear brothers and sisters, is the learned wisdom of the past. Let me | give you an example that relates to the state of rebellion that was |
D:1.15 | listen. Remember that you cannot be taught what unity would freely | give. The goal is no longer learning. The goal is accepting the |
D:2.10 | you in the past. That they seemed to work is the illusion that will | give way as you deny yourself access to the old so that the new can |
D:2.11 | have believed “works for you” is really like a game of chance. You | give it a try, and if the outcome is as you desired it to be you call |
D:3.7 | the old. This is as far as acceptance and denial need go. For if you | give credence to the ideas of contrast, you bring those ideas forward |
D:3.23 | What this portion of the dialogue attempts to do is to | give you a language to support what you already know, and are already |
D:4.20 | to do with who you are now that you are no longer a prisoner. Do not | give keys to a new jailer and ask to be taken care of in exchange for |
D:4.23 | to whom you can turn. But in place of that “outside” authority, I | give you your own authority, an authority you must claim in order for |
D:7.29 | how small this cosmic territory may be, it will still at times | give way to awareness of the All of Everything. |
D:9.3 | you, allow you to be who you truly are, end your confusion, and | give you peace to usher in the new. |
D:11.4 | In the opening page of this Dialogue I said that you | give and you receive from the well of spirit. True giving and |
D:11.9 | You have been told you | give and you receive from the well of spirit. What might this mean? |
D:11.13 | These words | give evidence of who I am because they give evidence that I know who |
D:11.13 | These words give evidence of who I am because they | give evidence that I know who you are. That these words give evidence |
D:11.13 | because they give evidence that I know who you are. That these words | give evidence that I know who you are and that they give the same |
D:11.13 | That these words give evidence that I know who you are and that they | give the same evidence to your brothers and sisters that I know who |
D:11.16 | contributions as important men and women and do not seek to | give expression to what is in everyone’s hearts, to what is shared in |
D:14.14 | what you discover there, and only becomes through the expression you | give it. Here becomes could be stated further as what becomes known |
D:15.9 | or to still any doubts about these principles of creation, but to | give you an example that is easily understood, an example of the way |
D:15.18 | with the desired service. In this example, maintenance is what you | give in order to receive the maximum connection to unity that is |
D:Day1.15 | what you call that love. You all are equally beloved. That you | give your devotion to one religious tradition or another matters not. |
D:Day1.28 | made. Promises of inheritance and fulfillment, promises that | give hints to, but never quite reveal, the secret of succession. |
D:Day2.5 | the time of revelation of meaning. You who have so long striven to | give meaning to the purposeless, here see meaning revealed. |
D:Day2.13 | I could | give thousands of examples here, but the point is that we are not |
D:Day2.15 | accept yourself. This unconditional acceptance is necessary. I will | give you one final example in order to make our discussion as clear |
D:Day3.7 | for your life can change your life, make you feel more peaceful, | give you comfort of a non-physical nature. These ideas, whether you |
D:Day3.7 | and your life, your mind that, through increased stillness, will | give you more peace, your mind that will accept comfort of a certain |
D:Day3.21 | 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 to ask for money |
D:Day3.27 | as you have been told time and time again. I do not ask you to | give up what you desire, but to expect and accept a response to what |
D:Day5.4 | a focus on access. Thus we begin with what feels natural to you. We | give access a focal point in the realm of form. |
D:Day5.12 | and another may not. While this remains the case, you may desire to | give others what you have and feel unable to do so. Yet, like love, |
D:Day5.13 | been able to “give” love only when you have felt you “have” love to | give. You thus have long known the truth of giving and receiving as |
D:Day5.13 | as enabling you to realize that you “have” the benefits of union to | give. |
D:Day5.20 | transformation is to come to you to come. If you could indeed | give in to this desire fully, it would speed the transformation along |
D:Day5.22 | a stop gap between what you would receive and what you would | give in which the ego once made its bid to claim ownership. Effort, |
D:Day6.20 | I know it doesn’t always seem so. | Give your attention for a moment to the temptations associated with |
D:Day7.12 | replacement is that of control with grace. This occurs as you | give up the control you have but thought you exerted over your life |
D:Day9.24 | Your freedom is contingent upon your ability to | give up your images, particularly the image you hold of an ideal |
D:Day10.19 | the man I once was because you were, prior to this point, unready to | give up image for presence, the individual for the universal, |
D:Day10.20 | I ask you not to | give up your relationship with me as the man Jesus, but to accept |

C:4.4 | what your purpose here is all about, if not for your recognition, | given witness by your longing, of what you fear you are not, but |
C:4.8 | to proceed toward love or to withdraw from it, to believe it is | given or withheld. |
C:4.10 | There are no losers and no winners under God’s law. Not one is | given more than another. God cannot love you more than your neighbor, |
C:4.16 | than love. You thus believe love is a choice, something to be | given to some and not to others. You hope to be a winner in this game |
C:4.16 | game you play, a chosen one who will have each ounce of love that is | given returned in kind. This is a balancing act you play with God’s |

C:11.9 | It does not matter to you that it is insane to think that He who has | given you everything seeks to take anything away from you. While you |
C:11.9 | blame Him for others. Yes, perhaps this God you think you know has | given you everything, but He can also take it all away, and in the |
C:11.15 | is it that you are asked to give? It can come in many manners and be | given many forms. It can be called a willingness to change your mind, |
C:14.19 | in their design, and dress it up to look like sacrifice and gifts | given, but all with the same purpose in mind. What none realize is |
C:14.21 | yet the greatest fear of all is that of loss of love. You who have | given everything to be alone and separate fear most of all that which |

C:16.21 | who is not is not determined by might or any authority that can be | given and taken away. Power is possessed by those who claim it. By |

C:20.41 | What you each have been | given is that which will serve your purpose. You could have no more |
C:20.45 | are welcome to all the gifts of the universe and that they can be | given, through you, to others as well. It implies willingness rather |

C:23.21 | You then can move forward again, taking form beyond its | given parameters and becoming a miracle worker. |
C:23.23 | of unlearning you may feel tested. You are not being tested but | given opportunities for unlearning. To learn that a previously held |

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

D:Day13.4 | love of God. There is no other love. God’s love is constantly being | given, received, and felt in relationship. God’s love is your love. |

D:Day19.16 | circles existing in support and harmony with one another. As those | given specific functions fulfill those functions, they move naturally |
D:Day21.6 | perhaps think in terms of receiving meaning that there is something | given from a source beyond the self, but this is the “thought” that |

D:Day23.3 | today we speak of being a carrier. Your instruction has been | given. Now the task before us is to come to understanding of the |
D:Day23.3 | of the means by which you will carry what you have been | given down from the mountain and onto level ground, the ground of the |
D:Day32.18 | of holy relationship? Could not the instructions that you have been | given—such as those of access to unity, and becoming a spacious |

D:16.8 | are the givens. Love, like God, like Creation, is the giver of the | givens. Life was given through the extension and the expression of |

D:Day3.12 | some are gifted more abundantly than others that they can use the | givens of talent and inspired ideas to bring them wealth. This is the |

C:29.25 | The indivisibleness of God is simply this: an unbroken chain of | giving and receiving. Thus is this a definition of unity as well. |
C:29.26 | another way of stating this law of creation, this unbroken chain of | giving and receiving. All your worry over the future and the past is |
C:29.26 | the future matter not. All is available in the here and now where | giving and receiving occur. |

C:31.14 | and thus cannot grasp the basic truth of your existence: that | giving and receiving are one in truth. Put another way, all this says |

T1:1.1 | A split mind does not learn for a split mind is incapable of | giving and receiving as one. A split mind does not rest for it can |
T1:1.1 | rest for it can find no peace. A state of peace is a prerequisite of | giving and receiving as one. Any state other than that of peace is |
T1:2.3 | It is yours to give and can only be given to love from love. Only in | giving is it received. |
T1:2.11 | God or the laws of love can be summarized by the simple statement of | giving and receiving being one in truth. The implications of this |
T1:2.11 | The most essential of these implications is that of relationship for | giving and receiving cannot occur without relationship. |
T1:3.3 | sees not as gifts but as rewards. The ego-mind barters rather than | giving and receiving as one, believing in a return only for effort. |
T1:4.3 | new way that we are going to learn together. They are the state of | giving and receiving as one. They are the state in which blessings |
T1:4.13 | you. Response is given and thus genuine. It is a natural act of | giving and receiving as one. Responsibility is a demanded response, a |
T1:9.4 | One of the few exceptions to this outward creation is the act of | giving birth. But birth, like all outward manifestations, but |
T1:9.6 | birth has been the purview of women and males have been incapable of | giving birth. This is because, in your version of creation, there |
T1:9.6 | creation, there needed to be a giver and a receiver. You knew that | giving and receiving makes one in truth. This is your recreation of |
T1:9.8 | But what then of the necessary act of | giving and receiving? In this birth of the Self, who is the giver and |
T1:9.8 | giver and who is the receiver? In order for the Self to be birthed, | giving and receiving must be one in truth. Yet it seems there must be |
T1:9.8 | receiving or communion. Only through the Christ within you does this | giving and receiving become one in truth. |
T1:9.9 | would exist within you; that you would become the Body of Christ and | giving and receiving would be complete. |
T1:10.7 | take peace from you. But as you have been told before, you will be | giving up nothing. It will seem as if it is so for a while perhaps. |
T2:4.8 | been asked. The wholehearted response is one that recognizes that | giving and receiving are the same in truth. |
T2:4.17 | This process too is union for it is | giving and receiving as one although you recognize it not as such. It |
T2:5.7 | Until you have fully integrated the truth that | giving and receiving are one, you will not fully believe that needs |
T2:5.7 | needs are not lacks. Until you have fully integrated the truth that | giving and receiving are one, you will not realize that dependency is |
T2:7.3 | The alternative is believing in | giving and receiving as one. |
T2:7.4 | defined and repeated within this Course. In order to believe in | giving and receiving as one, you must believe in relationship rather |
T2:7.6 | long as you continue to listen to your ego you will not understand | giving and receiving as one and will not believe in it. |
T2:7.7 | Each time another thwarts you, you will be tempted to believe that | giving and receiving as one is not taking place. Your previous |
T2:7.11 | to go out into the world and remain who you are. This relates to | giving and receiving being one in truth in a very concrete way. For |
T2:7.13 | you will not accept your dependence. You will not accept | giving and receiving as one if you feel able only to give or as if |
T2:7.14 | needy and dependent in an unhealthy way, is that you believe in | giving and receiving as one. You believe, in other words, that your |
T2:7.14 | a Creator and a creation that includes all “others” is to believe in | giving and receiving being one in truth. |
T2:7.15 | Giving is not only about choosing what good and helpful parts of | |
T2:7.15 | parts of yourself you will share with the world. It is also about | giving the world the opportunity to give back. It is about |
T2:7.19 | grow and change. This is the only means the Self you are now has of | giving and receiving as one. This is the only means available to you |
T2:7.20 | The recognition that | giving and receiving occur as one is a precondition for your |
T2:7.20 | of your accomplishment, the acceptance of the belief that | giving and receiving are one in truth changes the function of time as |
T2:7.20 | it. There is not a period of waiting or a period of time between | giving and receiving. There is not a time-lapse between the |
T2:7.20 | recognition of needs and the meeting of needs. It is accepted that | giving and receiving occur in unison, thus further collapsing the |
T2:7.21 | of the already accomplished through experience. As you experience | giving and receiving being one in truth, your belief will become true |
T2:7.21 | your belief will become true conviction. Your ability to recognize | giving and receiving as one becomes simply an aspect of your identity |
T2:8.3 | ability to live as who you are, but will aid all others. This is | giving and receiving as one. What you gain will take nothing from |
T2:10.1 | to be a teacher and a learner both. This is how the exchange of | giving and receiving as one occurs. This exchange IS unity. |
T2:12.4 | the will to respond to truth. They are the ultimate acceptance of | giving and receiving being one in truth. |
T3:4.2 | It asks not that you give up anything but illusion, which is the | giving up of nothing. |
T3:5.7 | of the story, however, was not one of sacrifice but one of gift | giving. The greatest gift of all was given, the gift of redemption. |
T3:13.4 | Broad brushstrokes have been made now, | giving you the beginnings of a vision of a life in physical form that |
T3:13.13 | That action, while not necessarily physical, is the action of | giving birth. Realize that you believe in many things that did not |
T3:15.15 | You are accomplished. | Giving and receiving are one in truth. There is no loss but only gain |
T3:16.9 | Giving and receiving are one in truth. | |
T3:16.10 | By saying that | giving and receiving are one in truth it is being said that you are |
T3:20.6 | unwarranted. Yet even while you offer encouragement, you worry about | giving “false” hope and wonder how realistic you should be or should |
T3:22.7 | of reception, a state not confined to receiving, but a state of | giving and receiving as one. Observation, as I am speaking of it and |
D:3.8 | Let us talk again for a moment of the idea of | giving and receiving as one that was introduced within A Course of |
D:3.11 | That | giving and receiving are one in truth is best understood by taking |
D:3.11 | one, such ideas make no sense. This would seem to make the idea of | giving and receiving as one senseless as well. In a way, this is |
D:3.11 | and receiving as one senseless as well. In a way, this is true. | Giving and receiving as one is senseless in terms related to a shared |
D:3.11 | as one is senseless in terms related to a shared consciousness. | Giving and receiving as one is not senseless, however, when that |
D:3.12 | All ideas leave not their source, thus | giving and receiving is an idea, as are all ideas, that exists apart |
D:3.12 | receiving is an idea, as are all ideas, that exists apart from form. | Giving and receiving are thus one within the shared consciousness of |
D:3.12 | the shared consciousness of unity, which is the same as saying | giving and receiving are one in truth. A shared consciousness is the |
D:3.12 | are. The elevation of the personal self, however, requires that this | giving and receiving as one be shared in form. Yet the elevated form, |
D:3.12 | of the Self, is not separate from the shared consciousness. Thus | giving and receiving as one is now the nature of the elevated Self of |
D:3.14 | Giving and receiving as one has become one in form as well as one in | |
D:3.14 | as one in idea. What this means, simply stated once again, is that | giving and receiving occur in unison, or in union. There is no “time” |
D:3.14 | receiving occur in unison, or in union. There is no “time” in which | giving and receiving seem to be separate actions. There is no “time” |
D:3.14 | receiving seem to be separate actions. There is no “time” in which | giving and receiving is not occurring. Giving and receiving as one |
D:3.14 | There is no “time” in which giving and receiving is not occurring. | Giving and receiving as one thus simply describes the nature of the |
D:3.15 | serve to explain. This dialogue is continuous and ongoing. It is | giving and receiving as one. It is merely represented by the words on |
D:3.21 | now is that your separated self already learned this concept of | giving and receiving, and that for the elevated Self of form it is |
D:3.21 | of Christ-consciousness. Thus you are already aware of the truth of | giving and receiving being one. This awareness exists within you and |
D:3.23 | new. This is what creation is! The entire universe, the All of All, | giving and receiving as one. This is our power. And our power is |
D:4.14 | divinely inspired and products of the separated self. The idea of | giving and receiving as one might be thought of as a divinely |
D:4.14 | of all, understand and live according to the system of thought of | giving and receiving being one. Systems of thought are thus the |
D:4.24 | Turn to this as the new pattern and to the thought system of | giving and receiving as one. Let the authority of the new be given |
D:6.17 | of “if this, then that” ruled, and the “new” as a world in which | giving and receiving are one, you will begin to see the enormity of |
D:10.6 | or experience of what is given is to not complete the cycle of | giving and receiving as one. What is given must be received. What is |
D:11.4 | I said that you give and you receive from the well of spirit. True | giving and receiving is of unity. True giving and receiving is not of |
D:11.4 | from the well of spirit. True giving and receiving is of unity. True | giving and receiving is not of the separated thought of the separated |
D:11.9 | well of spirit. What might this mean? How might this relate to the | giving and receiving of these words? To the discussion we have been |
D:11.12 | The | giving and receiving of these words will never make sense within the |
D:11.12 | of seeing, for those willing to suspend disbelief, the answer to the | giving and receiving of these words will provide the answer to the |
D:16.11 | And yet | giving and receiving are one in truth. All of the principles of |
D:17.7 | 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 gesture |
D:17.7 | for this is what this gesture symbolizes, a great and steady flow of | giving and receiving as one, an unbroken chain of giving and |
D:17.7 | and steady flow of giving and receiving as one, an unbroken chain of | giving and receiving as one. You offer up your glory and call it down |
D:Day1.11 | the power of granting life to grow within the womb, or the power of | giving new life to a limb withered or broken. You may wonder why it |
D:Day2.14 | all been through the time of tenderness, the time that preceded your | giving and receiving of forgiveness, your request for and granting of |
D:Day5.13 | felt you “have” love to give. You thus have long known the truth of | giving and receiving as one within your own heart. You might think of |
D:Day7.2 | emotion of fear. Fear is degenerating. Nothing about fear is life | giving. You thus were given life only to have it become degenerated |
D:Day7.3 | longer denying unity. You have replaced fear with love. Love is life | giving and life supporting. There is thus nothing now degenerating |
D:Day10.3 | As with the states of maintenance and sustainability, I am | giving you cause for movement, the effect of which will be the |
D:Day21.6 | beyond the self, but this is the “thought” that has to change. If | giving and receiving are one, then giver and receiver are also one. |
D:Day21.7 | are needed any longer. The “transfer” of knowledge is now an act of | giving and receiving as one. No intermediary is needed when you exist |
D:Day28.21 | So too are | giving and receiving and giver and receiver. |
D:Day35.10 | Giving ideas life is the role of creatorship. | |
D:Day36.9 | This is a true starting over with the true realization that | giving and receiving are one and that both are within your power. |
D:Day40.1 | circuit, a circle of wholeness, and I become who you are to me. Thus | giving and receiving are one. Cause and effect complete. |
D:Day40.10 | form and time. This is the nature of creation. Creation is about | giving attributes to the attributeless. Giving form to the formless. |
D:Day40.10 | creation. Creation is about giving attributes to the attributeless. | Giving form to the formless. An artist might be moved to her art by a |

D:3.11 | as one is senseless in terms related to a shared consciousness. | Giving and receiving as one is not senseless, however, when that |
D:3.12 | All ideas leave not their source, thus | giving and receiving is an idea, as are all ideas, that exists apart |
D:3.12 | receiving is an idea, as are all ideas, that exists apart from form. | Giving and receiving are thus one within the shared consciousness of |

D:3.14 | Giving and receiving as one has become one in form as well as one in | |

D:6.17 | of “if this, then that” ruled, and the “new” as a world in which | giving and receiving are one, you will begin to see the enormity of |

T1:4.4 | This identification and acknowledgment was the stated | goal of A Course of Love. It does not negate your existence as a |

T3:1.5 | much of our previous work, the first step in advancing toward this | goal is in developing an awareness of what is not the truth. While |

T3:12.4 | change, as has been said before, is the miracle. This miracle is the | goal toward which we now work. |

D:Day5.17 | and where your talents have been recognized, are as given as the | goal you now desire to realize. Again I remind you that the sameness |
D:Day5.17 | you are and expressing fully who you are. This is the miracle, the | goal, the accomplishment that is achieved through the reign of love, |
D:Day6.26 | you feel the eagerness of your brothers and sisters. If you felt our | goal was unlikely to be accomplished, or that it would elevate only a |

D:Day15.17 | in a certain sense, that it is unnecessary. They have achieved a | goal consistent with their concept of inner knowing and mistaken this |
D:Day27.2 | You have thus begun to experience on two levels. This has been a | goal of the time we have spent together in this way. |
A.24 | Being who you truly are, accepting your true identity, is the | goal of this Course and of this beginning level of what I only |

T3:19.9 | system of the truth is a thought system that is not split by varying | goals and desires. It is a thought system of unity. It is a thought |
D:Day9.13 | what you have seen learning as being for. While other learning | goals may have receded, this one seems a learning goal worthy of your |
D:Day9.13 | of your effort. It seems to be a true goal amidst many illusory | goals. Just as you may have believed that if you worked hard enough |
D:Day9.14 | is as much a product of illusion as have been all of your worldly | goals. |
D:Day9.15 | As with most | goals of the time of learning, it was an ego-centered goal, a carrot |

C:3.4 | those you see and those you only can imagine. To seek the “face” of | God, even in the form of Christ, is to seek for what is forever |
C:3.6 | will find the Christ who abides in you. In Jesus Christ, the Son of | God became the son of man. He walked the world with a face much like |

C:5.22 | so that you can make it on your own, and while you long to return to | God and the heaven that is your home, you do not want to admit that |
C:5.22 | your efforts are futile. You cling to effort as if it is the way to | God, not wanting to believe all effort is in vain or that a simple |
C:5.26 | Give up what you want? This is surely what you have expected | God to ask of you and what you have spent your lifetime guarding |

C:6.4 | different than I. We are all the same because we are not separate. | God created the universe as an interrelated whole. That the universe |
C:6.15 | golden calves did so because they knew of no other choice. A | god of love was as foreign a concept to them as is a life of peace to |
C:6.19 | still be what it is: home to God’s beloved son and dwelling place of | God Himself? It is because God is not separate from anything that you |
C:6.19 | God’s beloved son and dwelling place of God Himself? It is because | God is not separate from anything that you cannot be. It is because |
C:6.19 | God is not separate from anything that you cannot be. It is because | God is not separate from anything that heaven is where you are. It is |
C:6.19 | separate from anything that heaven is where you are. It is because | God is love that all your relationships are holy, and from them you |
C:6.20 | them happy and at peace. Even those who claim not to believe in | God or an afterlife of any sort will, when prompted to be truthful, |
C:6.22 | has not changed what is nor will it ever succeed in doing so. Only | God and His appointed helpers can lead you from this self-deception |
C:7.2 | and you cannot receive a piece of heaven nor know a piece of | God or your own Self. Your giving must be total for you to receive in |
C:8.17 | terms that set your reality in a location, on a planet, in a body. | God is here and you belong to God. This is the only sense in which |
C:8.17 | in a location, on a planet, in a body. God is here and you belong to | God. This is the only sense in which you can or should accept the |
C:8.17 | or should accept the notion that you belong here. When you realize | God is here, then and only then can you truthfully say here is where |
C:8.24 | is to see its reality. To see this reality is to see the image of | God you have created in God’s likeness. This image is based on your |
C:8.25 | to it. There are but two thought systems: the thought system of | God, and the thought system of the ego or the separated self. The |
C:8.25 | separated self sees everything in separation. The thought system of | God sees everything in unity. God’s thought system is one of |
C:9.8 | not create something from nothing and you did not usurp the power of | God. You took what God created and turned it into an illusion so |
C:9.8 | from nothing and you did not usurp the power of God. You took what | God created and turned it into an illusion so powerful that you |
C:9.10 | heart, think about just what it is that you would use it for. What | God created cannot be used, but what you have made can, for its only |
C:9.28 | not create something from nothing, and what you started with is what | God created and remains as God created it. You do not have to ask |
C:9.28 | and what you started with is what God created and remains as | God created it. You do not have to ask yourself to stretch your |
C:9.28 | be beyond your acceptance? Is it so impossible to imagine that what | God created was distorted by your desire to have your reality be |
C:9.31 | Child of | God, you need no imaginary friend when you have beside you he who is |
C:9.31 | have no needs at all. What you truly are cannot be used, not even by | God. See you not that it is only in illusion that you can use others |
C:9.33 | what your faulty memory would tell you that your Creator did. | God alone can give free will. In giving your power to things like |
C:9.34 | The free will that | God gave you is what has allowed you to make of yourself and your |
C:9.34 | to a previous condition that you imagine you know. In this scenario | God is like unto your banker rather than your Father. You would prove |
C:9.34 | is like unto your banker rather than your Father. You would prove to | God that you can “make a go of it” before you would ask Him for His |
C:9.46 | that this is your misguided attempt to follow in creation’s way. | God gave all power to his creations, and you would choose to do this |
C:9.46 | self. As much as you have desired anonymity and autonomy from | God, still you blame God for creating a situation in which you think |
C:9.46 | as you have desired anonymity and autonomy from God, still you blame | God for creating a situation in which you think you have been allowed |
C:9.46 | in which you think you have been allowed to hurt yourself. How could | God allow all this suffering, you ask? Why does He tempt you with |
C:9.46 | such destructive forces? Forces beyond your control? Why did not | God create a world benign and unable to harm you? |
C:9.47 | Such is the world that | God did create: A world so lovely and so peaceful that when you see |
C:9.47 | out clearly here, and never again will you doubt that the world that | God created belongs to you and you to it. |
C:9.49 | in these two positions? In what way is your way better than the way | God created for you, a way that is completely free of conflict? |
C:10.3 | lead to seeming failure to learn what I would have you learn. What | God would have me teach, you cannot fail to learn, but neither can |
C:10.4 | the Self you share in unity with Christ. Christ is the “part” of | God that resides in you, not in separation but in the eternal |
C:10.4 | in you, not in separation but in the eternal wholeness in which | God and you together exist in truth. |
C:10.9 | of your desire for reward. As you feel yourself becoming closer to | God and your true Self, as you gain more awareness of yourself as a |
C:10.9 | want a reward for goodness, for trying harder, for being closer to | God than your brother or sister, are all desires of your separated |
C:10.9 | good graces than your brother. You will stay until you realize that | God has given everything already to everyone. |
C:10.10 | stage and to the next. Be encouraged rather than discouraged that | God does not grant all your desires here. For these are not yet your |
C:10.12 | Belief is not your problem. Understanding is. While you believe in | God, you do not understand God. While you believe in me, you do not |
C:10.12 | Understanding is. While you believe in God, you do not understand | God. While you believe in me, you do not understand how these words |
C:10.12 | about what you believe. The convenient thing about your belief in | God, in me, in heaven and in an afterlife is that you do not think |
C:10.13 | with your brothers and sisters, right now, today. To believe in | God without understanding God is one thing. To believe in your union |
C:10.13 | sisters, right now, today. To believe in God without understanding | God is one thing. To believe in your union with your neighbor without |
C:10.14 | walk around within it is something quite different than believing in | God. Here all the proof available would say that you are wrong. All |
C:10.15 | the earth I was a body, or do you believe that I was the Son of | God before I was born into human form, during the time I existed in |
C:10.17 | is always involved before the fact. Nothing happens to the Son of | God by accident. This observation will help to put the responsibility |
C:11.8 | the separation possible. You regard it as your one protection from | God, the one thing that allows you to be other than what God would |
C:11.8 | from God, the one thing that allows you to be other than what | God would have you be. It is your “God given” right of independence, |
C:11.9 | To think you must protect anything from | God is insane, and you know that this is so. But because you view |
C:11.9 | that this is so. But because you view free will as all you have that | God cannot take away from you, you have not yet given up its |
C:11.9 | you still view yourself as a body, you cannot help but think of | God as a vengeful God whose final vengeance is your own death. While |
C:11.9 | yourself as a body, you cannot help but think of God as a vengeful | God whose final vengeance is your own death. While you still think of |
C:11.9 | to Him for some things and blame Him for others. Yes, perhaps this | God you think you know has given you everything, but He can also take |
C:11.9 | for a life of evil. He might accept you back, but He might not. A | God such as this would seem to have little faith in you and to |
C:11.10 | And so you give to | God a little faith and cherish your free will, the true god of the |
C:11.10 | you give to God a little faith and cherish your free will, the true | god of the separated self. You think at times that this was God’s |
C:11.10 | perception of your free will is of its power. No matter what | God wants of you, you can use your free will to rebel and to make |
C:11.10 | to make your own decisions, and the power to flaunt them before | God, is all that makes your little separated self feel powerful at |
C:11.11 | see that what you choose to do with your free will matters not to | God at all, for what you have chosen to use it for is the one thing |
C:11.14 | God will never wrestle your free will from you, or fight battles to | |
C:12.4 | yourself. Yet you must understand that nothing that is not part of | God is worthy of joining, nor can join with you. What you have sought |
C:12.12 | creation’s paradise still exists, but nowhere can you find the being | God created in His image. |
C:12.23 | mean to those who did not believe in separation? Do you believe that | God believes in separation? He knows it not, and because He knows it |
C:12.24 | benevolent and kind, or just another name for love, but such it is. | God is but creation’s starting point, the creator of creation and yet |
C:12.24 | Spirit, like unto Creation, proceeded from the starting point of | God. God is the Son and Holy Spirit’s starting point as well, the |
C:12.24 | like unto Creation, proceeded from the starting point of God. | God is the Son and Holy Spirit’s starting point as well, the Creator |
C:14.4 | your death would prove the victor. For if after death your creator | God provided you with a paradise not of this world, a separate place |
C:14.6 | such as this and still believe in it, then you must believe in a | god who is insane. You—who pride yourself on reason and |
C:14.7 | You who have made a | god of reason and of intellect, think carefully now of what your |
C:14.7 | made to make any sense at all? Those who have turned their backs on | God and refused to believe in such nonsense have simply refused to |
C:16.6 | it is the truth about what you choose to see. Your choice lies with | God or with the self you believe you have succeeded in separating |
C:16.9 | Child of | God, see you how important it is that you listen to your heart! Your |
C:16.16 | here know that judgment is not your place, and that it belongs to | God and God alone. This is firmly attached to your memory of |
C:16.16 | know that judgment is not your place, and that it belongs to God and | God alone. This is firmly attached to your memory of creation. To |
C:16.16 | to your memory of creation. To wrestle the right to judge away from | God is an act against God, and like a child who has dared to defy his |
C:16.16 | To wrestle the right to judge away from God is an act against | God, and like a child who has dared to defy his parents, the act of |
C:16.16 | role of parent away from the parent without having become a parent. | God has become the enemy to those who judge just as the parent of a |
C:16.17 | has been severed. It is this belief in a severed relationship with | God that seems to replace the holy relationship that cannot be |
C:16.18 | Child of | God, this is not so and cannot ever be, for the right to judge is but |
C:16.22 | Your perception but looks at power backward and wonders why | God has forsaken a people who seem to be so godly. |
C:16.23 | God forsakes no people, but people forsake God when they give away | |
C:16.23 | God forsakes no people, but people forsake | God when they give away their power and claim not their birthright. |
C:16.24 | God wants no sacrifice from you, yet when you give away your power | |
C:16.24 | your power you make of yourself a sacrificial lamb, an offering onto | God that God does not want. You look back on stories of sacrifice |
C:16.24 | you make of yourself a sacrificial lamb, an offering onto God that | God does not want. You look back on stories of sacrifice from the |
C:16.25 | still go meekly through your life trying to comply with rules of | God and man with thought of some greater good in mind. If everyone |
C:17.2 | as well as in regard to relationship. Your choice to separate from | God is but a separation from your own Self, and this is truly the |
C:17.2 | is truly the separation that needs to be healed to return you to | God. |
C:17.15 | remains your foundation. For judgment is but the belief that what | God created can be changed, and has been. |
C:18.1 | interpretation would be inconsistent, however, with a benevolent | God and a benevolent universe. This interpretation accepts that |
C:18.4 | not done. You have not fallen from unity. You have not fallen from | God. |
C:18.6 | not see it as the result of a fall, as a curse, as a punishment from | God, or as your home, a dwelling place that keeps you separate, then |
C:19.4 | the unification of mind and heart, after which unification with | God is naturally returned to your awareness, for this unification |
C:19.4 | returns you to the Christ in you and the one mind united with | God which you have never left. Creation’s power then returns to you |
C:19.9 | one of your brothers and sisters is as holy as I and as beloved to | God. Can you not witness to their belovedness as those long ago |
C:19.14 | the riddle, the mystery, of the divine, and why they conclude that | God is unknowable. God is knowable from within the mystery of |
C:19.14 | of the divine, and why they conclude that God is unknowable. | God is knowable from within the mystery of non-duality itself. It |
C:19.17 | other hand, when only one of anything exists it is highly prized. | God is thus “God” due, at least in part, to what you view as His |
C:19.17 | who worship many gods as primitive, although those who believe in a | god synonymous with creation are closer to a true picture of God than |
C:19.17 | in a god synonymous with creation are closer to a true picture of | God than those who view God as a solitary figure. Still, oneness and |
C:19.17 | creation are closer to a true picture of God than those who view | God as a solitary figure. Still, oneness and unity go together, the |
C:19.17 | go together, the unity of creation being part of the oneness of | God, and the oneness of God part of the unity of creation. A mind |
C:19.17 | of creation being part of the oneness of God, and the oneness of | God part of the unity of creation. A mind trained by separation can |
C:20.11 | This is creation. This is | God. This is our home. |
C:20.17 | one heartbeat. The heartbeat of the world does not exist apart from | God. The heartbeat of the world is thus alive and part of you. This |
C:20.21 | things, holy men and women, and even divine beings, even the one | God. Is not the embrace itself holy? Is not the sunrise and sunset? |
C:20.35 | comes from existing within the embrace. You know you do the will of | God because you are at one with that will. |
C:20.40 | shines and the rain falls on the good and evil alike. All gifts of | God are given equally and distributed equally. It is your belief that |
C:21.4 | Love appeals to you through the heart. | God appeals to you through your heart. Your heart has not been open |
C:22.13 | war, the events that seemed to alter your destiny, the search for | God. By using the word sit, I mean to imply that these things have |
C:23.6 | The same is true of your relationship with | God. As in any love relationship, the desire to know God can be all |
C:23.6 | with God. As in any love relationship, the desire to know | God can be all consuming. Yet, while God transcends knowing, your |
C:23.6 | the desire to know God can be all consuming. Yet, while | God transcends knowing, your relationship with God is how you know |
C:23.6 | consuming. Yet, while God transcends knowing, your relationship with | God is how you know both God and your Self. |
C:23.6 | transcends knowing, your relationship with God is how you know both | God and your Self. |
C:23.8 | but rarely the other way around. This is what has caused you to make | God over in your own image and to try to do the same to others. This |
C:25.12 | believe even one person is against you, you are not in concert with | God. While you believe fate works against you, you are not in concert |
C:26.21 | You are a thought of a | God. An idea. This thought, or idea, is what you seek. It can be |
C:26.22 | linked with its source and one with its source. There was no | God separate from you to have this idea of you. You were birthed in |
C:26.23 | you can accept it. This is necessary because of your reliance on a | God who is “other” than you for the provision of your answers. |
C:26.24 | of holiness, an integral place in the pattern that is oneness with | God. It is a place you have never left but that you long for, |
C:26.25 | you feel deprived of creating. As a being birthed by a thought of | God, you grew simultaneously with God’s thought. You knew your place |
C:26.27 | my story, my pattern, the idea of me that came from the thought of | God. In doing so, I restored unity, oneness with God. I ushered in |
C:26.27 | from the thought of God. In doing so, I restored unity, oneness with | God. I ushered in the new way that you are now longing to adopt. I |
C:27.8 | to know your Self through relationship, you can only come to know | God through relationship. Christ is the holy relationship that exists |
C:27.8 | Christ is the holy relationship that exists between all and | God, providing the bridge that spans the very concept of between and |
C:27.9 | The thought of | God by which you were created is synonymous with the Christ in you. |
C:27.10 | or perceive your true identity as relationship itself? And what of | God? Can you unlearn all concepts and free your mind to accept all |
C:27.10 | lies in relationship, can you be other than relationship itself? Can | God? Can you imagine relationship rather than singular objects and |
C:27.10 | objects and bodies, as all that exists, and thus who you are and who | God is? Is it such a huge leap to go from saying you only exist in |
C:27.21 | whether or not you trust. Do you trust these words? Do you trust in | God? Can you trust in your Self? |
C:29.3 | have no notion, as did people of the past, of being of service to | God. This is a symptom of the reign of the ego and its ability to |
C:29.3 | your notion of yourself, and to minimize it. To be of service to | God is not to be a slave to God but to attend to God. To give God |
C:29.3 | and to minimize it. To be of service to God is not to be a slave to | God but to attend to God. To give God your attention and your care. |
C:29.3 | To be of service to God is not to be a slave to God but to attend to | God. To give God your attention and your care. You who would cry, God |
C:29.3 | to God is not to be a slave to God but to attend to God. To give | God your attention and your care. You who would cry, God make use of |
C:29.3 | to God. To give God your attention and your care. You who would cry, | God make use of me, only need to give to God your devotion and your |
C:29.3 | care. You who would cry, God make use of me, only need to give to | God your devotion and your willingness to serve instead of use. |
C:29.5 | your full power and your ability to be of quite literal service to | God and your brothers and sisters. |
C:29.6 | If | God were to speak to you Himself and tell you of what means your |
C:29.6 | would be to Him, He would but tell you this: My child, return to me. | God has no Will apart from yours. Your return to unity is all God |
C:29.6 | to me. God has no Will apart from yours. Your return to unity is all | God seeks for you, for Himself, and for all His children. The return |
C:29.9 | with the colors of life. Life, not death, assures your approach. | God Himself will guide your entry. |
C:29.10 | as your Father’s work is his service to you. As you cannot imagine | God toiling, so you should cease to imagine your Self doing thus. |
C:29.15 | Life is service to | God. God is service to life. You are God in life. Thus you are both |
C:29.15 | Life is service to God. | God is service to life. You are God in life. Thus you are both life |
C:29.15 | Life is service to God. God is service to life. You are | God in life. Thus you are both life and service to life, both God and |
C:29.15 | are God in life. Thus you are both life and service to life, both | God and service to God. All of the vast universe was created the |
C:29.15 | Thus you are both life and service to life, both God and service to | God. All of the vast universe was created the same: to live and to |
C:29.15 | universe was created the same: to live and to serve life, to be of | God and be of service to God. To be served and to serve. To be |
C:29.15 | same: to live and to serve life, to be of God and be of service to | God. To be served and to serve. To be provided for and to provide. To |
C:29.23 | deprive anyone else of the right to serve? No two are alike. Only in | God are all the same. |
C:29.24 | the indivisible and the divisible. Only those reunited with | God achieve the state of unity. Only the state of unity exists. |
C:29.25 | come to understand the reciprocal nature of giftedness? That what | God has given only needs to be received? That what you have received |
C:29.25 | you have received only needs to be given? The indivisibleness of | God is simply this: an unbroken chain of giving and receiving. Thus |
C:30.7 | identity of the Self no longer lives in a dualistic position with | God, but in a monistic state with Him. The difference is in realizing |
C:30.10 | All relationship is relationship with | God Who Is Love. |
C:30.11 | existence because you have made it ruler by abandoning the laws of | God. |
C:30.12 | The laws of | God are laws of Love. Within the laws of love there is no loss, but |
C:30.13 | world. Without unity we would not be. Without our Source, which is | God, we would not be. |
C:30.14 | do not change, and thus the laws of man have not usurped the laws of | God. It is only in your perception that the laws of man take |
C:30.14 | perception that the laws of man take precedence over the laws of | God. Since perception arises from the mind, we must now discuss the |
C:31.9 | this point, yet you allow yourself to resist the whole idea of | God because you believe that what is one cannot also be many. |
C:31.10 | Give up this notion of losing your Self to | God, and you will be done for all time with resisting God. Only in |
C:31.10 | your Self to God, and you will be done for all time with resisting | God. Only in God can you find your Self. This is known to you, and is |
C:31.10 | God, and you will be done for all time with resisting God. Only in | God can you find your Self. This is known to you, and is the reason |
C:31.10 | Self. This is known to you, and is the reason for man’s quest for | God throughout all time. Man may think he looks to God for answers, |
C:31.10 | man’s quest for God throughout all time. Man may think he looks to | God for answers, for release from pain, for reward, or for an |
C:31.10 | pain, for reward, or for an afterlife. But man has always looked to | God for his own Self. Not looking to God to find your Self would be |
C:31.10 | But man has always looked to God for his own Self. Not looking to | God to find your Self would be akin to searching everywhere but the |
C:31.28 | Just as you look to | God for your Self, knowing not what it is you seek, so too do you |
C:32.6 | end all need of miracles, the only accomplishment of the only Son of | God. For what your heart has shared with your mind is shared with all |
T1:1.10 | is what it is to create, for this is what it is like to think as | God thinks.” Where once you recognized only illusion and called it |
T1:2.4 | the answer of the Created to the Creator, the answer of the Self to | God. |
T1:2.10 | higher order that will reveal its laws to you. These are the laws of | God or the laws of love. |
T1:2.11 | The laws of | God or the laws of love can be summarized by the simple statement of |
T1:2.14 | The sunset is a gift of | God. It is what it is. This is the first part of this example. |
T1:2.21 | To experience what is and to acknowledge what is as being a gift of | God is to be present as a divine being having a human experience. No |
T1:3.17 | stems from your belief that you are “only” human. You are not | God. You are not a holy person. Thus miracles should not flow through |
T1:3.20 | Fourth, you might balk at the suggestion that | God would grant miracles on such a whim, such a fanciful idea as that |
T1:3.20 | Even were you to possess such power, surely it is a power that is of | God and needs not you for its accomplishment. Better not to mess with |
T1:4.4 | of the Creator. Recall the sunset. Are you any less the glory of | God than the sun? This is a call to be as aware of your Self as you |
T1:4.9 | Your responsibilities shift completely under the laws of | God. Your thoughts are released from their concentration on what |
T1:4.11 | sprang from the ego-mind that would usurp the power of | God. What kind of gift arrives with a demand for the receiver to be |
T1:4.14 | Is this not the kind of thinking that has caused you to blame | God for what you have labeled “bad” as well as to praise God for what |
T1:4.14 | to blame God for what you have labeled “bad” as well as to praise | God for what you have labeled “good”? Would not this kind of a |
T1:4.24 | Revelation is direct communication with | God in the sense that it is direct communication from a Self you have |
T1:4.26 | expand upon this thought, for doubt about your Self is doubt about | God. While God is nothing but the Source of Love, you have, in your |
T1:4.26 | this thought, for doubt about your Self is doubt about God. While | God is nothing but the Source of Love, you have, in your doubt, made |
T1:4.26 | is nothing but the Source of Love, you have, in your doubt, made of | God the source of fear. Pause a moment here and let the enormity of |
T1:4.27 | of fear. A Course in Miracles told you that awe is the providence of | God and not due miracles or any other thing or being. I bring up this |
T1:4.27 | as human being. From time immemorial, fear has been associated with | God. This was the thinking I came to reverse. While I succeeded in |
T1:4.27 | was the thinking I came to reverse. While I succeeded in revealing a | God of love, this revelation has not been reconciled with your |
T1:5.1 | Why, when a | God of Love was revealed so long ago and in so many times and in so |
T1:5.1 | forms since then that they remain forever countless, has fear of | God remained? The only answer possible is because fear of the Self |
T1:5.5 | This fear of all and nothingness is fear of | God, fear of Life, fear of Creation, fear of Self. For there is only |
T1:5.14 | Wholeheartedness will aid you in reconciling the laws of | God with the laws of man. Through mindfulness you will remember who |
T1:6.4 | It is your union with your Self. Union with your Self is union with | God. Thus your concentration must not stray back to old concepts of |
T1:6.4 | must not stray back to old concepts of prayer or of reaching | God through the intercession of prayer as if God were separate from |
T1:6.4 | prayer or of reaching God through the intercession of prayer as if | God were separate from you and accessible only through a specific |
T1:6.5 | To use prayer only as a means of reaching out to a | god seen as separate is to attempt to use what cannot be used. Such |
T1:6.5 | those who are ready to walk through them to a real relationship with | God and Self. But this is not the concept of prayer of which we speak |
T1:8.1 | union of the human and the divine, the manifestation of the Will of | God. I have told you that you are no different than I was. Now I call |
T1:8.2 | What I was in life was the manifestation, in form, of the Will of | God. Thus too have you been. God is the giver of life, thus life is |
T1:8.2 | manifestation, in form, of the Will of God. Thus too have you been. | God is the giver of life, thus life is God’s Will. But with my |
T1:8.6 | this relate to your thinking? You have been reborn as god-man, as | God and man united. The resurrection is the cause and effect of the |
T1:8.8 | joined in union accomplished the reunion of the separated self with | God. The resurrection was evidence of this accomplishment. It laid |
T1:8.9 | of these and know instead the example of woman, of Mary, Mother of | God. |
T1:8.13 | a state in which what is begotten is begotten through union with | God. It is from this unaltered state that you are free to resurrect, |
T1:10.4 | experience. This is what you continue to choose over the Peace of | God. This is not a right or wrong choice but it is a choice. It is |
T1:10.5 | experience. Now are you willing to use it to choose the Peace of | God instead? Can you wholeheartedly choose peace? Can you choose |
T1:10.6 | You can continue to experience life and still carry the Peace of | God within you. As you live in peace you can be an example to your |
T1:10.7 | and you cannot partake if you are going to carry the Peace of | God within you. |
T1:10.8 | is what has been meant by the many references that have been made to | God not seeing suffering. God exists with you in peace. When you feel |
T1:10.8 | the many references that have been made to God not seeing suffering. | God exists with you in peace. When you feel peace, you feel the Peace |
T1:10.8 | exists with you in peace. When you feel peace, you feel the Peace of | God. There is no other peace. There is no other God. Whether you |
T1:10.8 | feel the Peace of God. There is no other peace. There is no other | God. Whether you believe it now or not, I assure you, within the |
T1:10.8 | Whether you believe it now or not, I assure you, within the Peace of | God is all the joy of what you have known as the human experience and |
T1:10.10 | that hold such sway over you that you would choose not the Peace of | God. But look past what you have remembered to what was truly there. |
T1:10.10 | there. No moment of true learning ever arrived without the Peace of | God for without the Peace of God no true learning is possible. |
T1:10.10 | ever arrived without the Peace of God for without the Peace of | God no true learning is possible. |
T1:10.11 | look forward to rather than back upon if you but choose the Peace of | God. |
T1:10.13 | pause now and accept that it is here, you will not know the Peace of | God that is your own Self. |
T1:10.14 | no matter what words you use to describe it, is your answer to | God and God’s answer to you. Peace is the inheritance I left you. |
T1:10.15 | have found peace—live in peace. You have been given the Peace of | God—go in Peace. Spread peace throughout the land. Go out in peace |
T2:3.1 | with the one mind and one heart, in union, in other words, with | God. Everything you have ever wanted to be is. Everything you have |
T2:3.3 | It is the Christ in you that learns to walk the earth as child of | God, as who you really are. |
T2:6.10 | and now, so that you exist—even within form—as the only Son of | God, the Christ, the word made flesh. Remember that the phrase, the |
T2:6.10 | Christ, the word made flesh. Remember that the phrase, the Son of | God, and the name Christ, but represent the original creation and are |
T2:11.2 | living under the old rules, the laws of man rather than the laws of | God or love. It will seem all but impossible to live in relationship |
T2:11.4 | thing given by you the power to do battle with the truth, or with | God. Remember now and always that you and God are one and that what |
T2:11.4 | with the truth, or with God. Remember now and always that you and | God are one and that what you invite to do battle with God you but |
T2:11.4 | that you and God are one and that what you invite to do battle with | God you but battle yourself. |
T2:11.5 | A | God of love does not do battle for truth needs no protection. The |
T2:11.12 | this choice was not available and did not overturn the laws of | God. The ego is but your belief that this has occurred; that what |
T2:13.1 | to you. By now you have seen that your fears of losing yourself to | God were unfounded. By now you have seen that yourself does not need |
T3:2.3 | will as that which allows you to be separate from and independent of | God. Once this assumption was accepted, the duality of your existence |
T3:2.3 | relationship, of self and others. You chose a means of creation—as | God chose a means of creation. That means of creation is separation, |
T3:2.5 | step in the advancement of your separated state was a step away from | God and your real Self. This belief was based in logic, but the logic |
T3:2.5 | of the illusion—in which you believed you chose to separate from | God out of defiance and a desire to be one with God no longer. This |
T3:2.5 | to separate from God out of defiance and a desire to be one with | God no longer. This could not be further from the truth and is the |
T3:2.5 | step toward independence came a corresponding step away from | God. As independence seemed to be your purpose here, you could not |
T3:2.11 | not allowed you to imagine being able to take steps “back” to the | God you believe you left in defiance, or the Self you believe you |
T3:2.11 | speak of here is known to you. Realize that you know that it is not | God who abandoned you, but you who abandoned your Self and God. Give |
T3:2.11 | it is not God who abandoned you, but you who abandoned your Self and | God. Give up your desire to think that if you did such a thing there |
T3:2.11 | believable, is not one that includes a need to abandon your Self or | God. Why should you be more inclined to believe that you left a |
T3:2.11 | long to return? The only alternative has seemed to be a belief in a | God that would banish you from paradise for your sins. We have |
T3:2.11 | sins. We have worked, thus far, to change your idea of a vengeful | God. Now we work to change your idea of a vengeful self. For what |
T3:2.12 | I return you to our comparison of the family of man to the family of | God, as well as to our discussion of the return of the prodigal sons |
T3:2.12 | our discussion of the return of the prodigal sons and daughters of | God. This discussion may have seemed to accept the idea of a self as |
T3:3.7 | Both | God and Love are found in relationship where the truth becomes known |
T3:3.7 | becomes known to you. When the truth becomes known to you, you know | God for you know love. Beliefs, and especially the changed beliefs we |
T3:5.2 | filled you and emptied of the ego-self in moments of connection with | God. |
T3:5.6 | that continues even now. I walked the earth in order to reveal a | God of love. The question of the time, a question still much in |
T3:5.7 | personal self to live on as the one true Self, the one true son of | God. The gift of redemption was given once and for all. It is the |
T3:5.8 | rebirth of the Self, the original purpose goes unfulfilled. Since | God is original purpose, original cause, the origin of self and of |
T3:5.8 | illusion will be no more and truth will reign. Such is the reign of | God. |
T3:6.1 | what you give. This stems from your idea of yourself as a “child” of | God, and a notion that would seem to suggest that the child is less |
T3:6.1 | this is not the same as the “rewards” you seek—some of you from | God, some from life, some from fate. No matter who it is you think is |
T3:6.2 | the lofty heights we have just traveled, discussing the reign of | God and the meaning of life and death. But this is one of the key |
T3:6.2 | you from yourself and has much to do with your former notions of | God and your own self. It is an idea that has been transferred to all |
T3:6.4 | bitterness remains, vengeance will remain. You have been shown that | God is not a God of vengeance but that you are still in the process |
T3:6.4 | vengeance will remain. You have been shown that God is not a | God of vengeance but that you are still in the process of learning |
T3:7.1 | there a corresponding belief system that formed around the idea of | God? |
T3:7.2 | there are no beliefs that represent the truth of who you are and who | God is, we speak now of ideas or thoughts. If you believe that God |
T3:7.2 | who God is, we speak now of ideas or thoughts. If you believe that | God created you with a thought or idea, then you can begin to see the |
T3:8.1 | The Kingdom of | God is the House of Truth. Or better said, the House of Truth has |
T3:8.1 | Or better said, the House of Truth has been called the Kingdom of | God. I remind you, once again, that what you have called things are |
T3:8.4 | beliefs hold the seeds of bitterness, the angst you feel towards | God and brothers and sisters both alive and dead. |
T3:11.6 | of the truth and lived by the truth. I was aware of the Peace of | God and lived within the Peace of God. I was aware of the Love of God |
T3:11.6 | truth. I was aware of the Peace of God and lived within the Peace of | God. I was aware of the Love of God and the Love of God lived within |
T3:11.6 | of God and lived within the Peace of God. I was aware of the Love of | God and the Love of God lived within me. |
T3:11.6 | the Peace of God. I was aware of the Love of God and the Love of | God lived within me. |
T3:11.7 | This is what you are now called to do: Be aware that the love of | God lives within you. Live within the Peace of God. Live by the truth. |
T3:11.7 | that the love of God lives within you. Live within the Peace of | God. Live by the truth. |
T3:11.9 | I have called the Kingdom of | God the House of Truth rather than the House of Peace for a reason. |
T3:11.9 | for a reason. What you are learning is no longer that the Kingdom of | God or the House of Truth exists, but how to live within it. The |
T3:11.13 | with its reality judgment would be upon you—not any judgment of | God, but judgment of your own mind. |
T3:12.8 | made of love. A physical self is not inconsistent with the laws of | God or of creation. It is simply a choice. |
T3:12.9 | Knowing it existed in a state inconsistent with that of the laws of | God, it made of God a being to be feared, thus continuing, and being |
T3:12.9 | in a state inconsistent with that of the laws of God, it made of | God a being to be feared, thus continuing, and being unable to find |
T3:12.10 | and love is the next step in creation, the rebirth of the Son of | God known as the resurrection. |
T3:13.2 | experience, saying that these things that draw you from the peace of | God draw you from the state in which you are aware of who you are, |
T3:13.2 | or a personal self. While you may still feel a connection to | God during such times, you will not be dwelling within the peace of |
T3:13.2 | God during such times, you will not be dwelling within the peace of | God. Your Self and God will be but memories to you while your reality |
T3:13.2 | you will not be dwelling within the peace of God. Your Self and | God will be but memories to you while your reality remains that of |
T3:13.2 | and the personal self. In such times you can conceive only of a | God outside of yourself and trust not in the benevolence of the |
T3:14.12 | Atonement, or correction, is not of you but of | God. You might think of this in terms of nature and look upon |
T3:15.18 | empty-handed. The truth goes with you as does the love and peace of | God. |
T3:16.1 | to live by the truth is the only offering you are asked to make to | God. You need make no other offerings. No sacrifices need be made and |
T3:16.1 | need be made and sacrifices are, in truth, unacceptable to | God. You are asked to give up nothing but unwillingness. |
T3:16.15 | your new Self will create. As you live with awareness of the love of | God within you, you will see that you have no need for special love |
T3:17.5 | That mistake was seeing | God as “other than” and separate from the self. While it was |
T3:17.6 | is not other than who you are but an aspect of who you are and Who | God Is. Let me remind you also that names, such as Holy Spirit, are |
T3:17.8 | The Holy Spirit, unlike | God the Creator, has known the existence of the illusion and the |
T3:19.16 | and yet remaining to tell those who would listen about the glory of | God. What will make this choice so attractive are ordinary people |
T3:20.7 | or for drugs that would ease suffering, and you might pray that | God spare this one from a future seemingly already written, and think |
T3:20.12 | are called not to return. To turn your back not on the truth nor on | God or love. |
T3:20.14 | you must remind yourself that it is only from within the Peace of | God that your wholeheartedness and our unity is accomplished. |
T3:22.14 | of what you desire is observation of what is, for your desire is of | God and what you desire now, contrary to what you would have desired |
T3:22.14 | have desired in the early stages of this Course, is the Will of | God. What you desire now is the Will of God because it is your true |
T3:22.14 | this Course, is the Will of God. What you desire now is the Will of | God because it is your true desire, your will and God’s joined as one. |
T4:1.5 | Are you willing to be chosen? Are you willing to be the chosen of | God? All are asked. What is your answer? |
T4:1.6 | Many different groups believe they are the chosen people of | God, or Buddha, or Muhammad. Many of this generation believe they are |
T4:1.11 | if you are willing to make the choice to come to know your Self and | God now. This is the same as being asked if you are willing to be the |
T4:1.11 | is the same as being asked if you are willing to be the chosen of | God. This is the same question that has been asked throughout the |
T4:1.11 | existence of time. Some have chosen to come to know themselves and | God directly. Others have chosen to come to know themselves and God |
T4:1.11 | and God directly. Others have chosen to come to know themselves and | God indirectly. These are the only two choices, the choices between |
T4:1.11 | understand is that all choices will lead to knowledge of Self and | God, as no choices are offered that are not such. All are chosen and |
T4:1.12 | even the house of illusion is held within the embrace of love, of | God, of the truth. Does this sound exclusive to you? The embrace is |
T4:1.13 | seem in your imaginings. What a fickle universe. What a perverse | God. If an end to suffering and fear has been possible, and is |
T4:1.18 | You have completed God’s act of choosing you by choosing | God. This is all the chosen people are in time—those who have |
T4:1.18 | This is all the chosen people are in time—those who have chosen | God as God has chosen them. That you have chosen God and chosen a new |
T4:1.18 | is all the chosen people are in time—those who have chosen God as | God has chosen them. That you have chosen God and chosen a new means |
T4:1.18 | who have chosen God as God has chosen them. That you have chosen | God and chosen a new means of coming to know the truth—the means of |
T4:1.27 | of the Holy Spirit, some were able to come to know themselves and | God through the indirect means of this state of consciousness and to |
T4:1.27 | direct communication was possible, to come to know themselves and | God directly, and to pass on this learning through direct means. What |
T4:1.27 | unaware of the new consciousness to come to know themselves and | God, and to continue to pass their learning on indirectly, or through |
T4:2.3 | proponent of The Way of Christ-consciousness as The Way to Self and | God. |
T4:2.4 | There was no Way or path or process back to | God and Self before me. It was the time of man wandering in the |
T4:2.4 | I came to show The Way to Christ-consciousness, which is The Way to | God and Self. But I also came to provide an intermediary, for this is |
T4:2.4 | self with the spirit of the divine or remembered Self. Although | God never abandoned the humans who seeded the Earth, the humans, in |
T4:2.4 | the humans, in the state of the forgotten self, could not know | God because of their fear. I revealed a God of Love and the Holy |
T4:2.4 | self, could not know God because of their fear. I revealed a | God of Love and the Holy Spirit provided for indirect and less |
T4:2.4 | indirect and less fearful means of communion or communication with | God. |
T4:2.5 | as well as all that was created, have always been the beloved of | God because Love was and is the means of creation. The people of the |
T4:2.22 | is a new relationship. Unity always existed. Oneness always existed. | God always existed. But you separated yourself from direct awareness |
T4:2.22 | awareness of your relationship with unity, with oneness, and with | God, just as you separated yourself from relationship with the |
T4:2.22 | with the wholeness of the pattern of creation. You have believed in | God and perhaps in some concept of unity or oneness, but you have |
T4:2.22 | the possibility of experiencing your own direct relationship with | God, or the possibility that your life is a direct experience of the |
T4:3.6 | Even the most loving parent, like unto your most loving image of | God, having brought a child into a fearful world, became subject to |
T4:3.6 | a world of effort with all things in it and beyond it, including | God, weighed and balanced against the idea of fear. |
T4:3.7 | a world of love, there can be no more weighing of love against fear. | God did not create fear and will not be judged by it. All judgment is |
T4:3.7 | and live in a world the nature of which was fear, you could not know | God. You could not know God because you judged God from within the |
T4:3.7 | nature of which was fear, you could not know God. You could not know | God because you judged God from within the nature of fear, believing |
T4:3.7 | you could not know God. You could not know God because you judged | God from within the nature of fear, believing it to be your natural |
T4:4.5 | This is one of the reasons that I came in the form of the “son of | God.” In the time in which I lived, the idea of inheritance was an |
T4:4.9 | New.” There has not been a time on Earth in which the inheritance of | God the Father was accepted, save by me. This is why this time is |
T4:5.1 | not your only choice. As many of you believed that I was the Son of | God and more than a man before my birth, during my lifetime and after |
T4:5.1 | came before me and all who came after me. All that being a Son of | God means is that you represent the continuity of creation and that |
T4:5.2 | This could as easily be stated as your being a Song of | God. You are God’s harmony, God’s expression, God’s melody. You, and |
T4:5.4 | Energy of Love, the Energy of Creation, the Source that is known as | God. Since you are clearly alive, this Energy exists within you as it |
T4:5.4 | not required for Its existence or expression. How could form contain | God? How could form contain the Energy of Creation? |
T4:5.5 | Your form does not contain your heart, or the energy of creation, or | God. Your form is but an extension of this energy, a representation |
T4:5.5 | living matter that exists within the ocean has no need to search for | God. It lives in God. So do you. |
T4:5.5 | exists within the ocean has no need to search for God. It lives in | God. So do you. |
T4:5.6 | God can thus be seen as the All of everything and life, or the Body | |
T4:5.10 | To align your will with the Will of | God is to make the choice for Christ-consciousness, to make the |
T4:5.12 | formerly only after your death that you chose direct revelation by | God. Think about this now and you will see that it is true. You hoped |
T4:5.12 | You hoped to live a good life and at the end of that life to know | God. Your vision of the afterlife was one in which God revealed |
T4:5.12 | that life to know God. Your vision of the afterlife was one in which | God revealed Himself to you and, in that revelation, transformed you. |
T4:7.2 | the time of the Holy Spirit, your understanding of your Self and | God grew through the indirect means that were available to you, |
T4:7.2 | you, during the time of Christ, your understanding of your Self and | God cannot help but grow through the direct and observable means now |
T4:8.1 | life. You are now beginning to be able to understand that it was | God who made this choice. This was the Creator making a choice. |
T4:8.2 | any choice in the matter, or reverting to old ideas of blaming | God for all that has ensued since this choice. I say this because |
T4:8.2 | because only now are you beginning to be ready to hear that you and | God are the same. That when I say “God made a choice” I am not saying |
T4:8.3 | The heart of | God is the center of the universe, as your own heart is the center of |
T4:8.3 | universe, as your own heart is the center of your being. The mind of | God is the source of all ideas, just as “your” mind is the source of |
T4:8.5 | it grows into its time of fullness. Creation on the scale at which | God creates produced the universe, or in actuality, many universes. |
T4:8.6 | Each expression of God’s love, being of | God, continued to express love through expression of its nature, |
T4:8.6 | to express love through expression of its nature, which was of | God. What happened in the case of human beings, was a disconnect from |
T4:8.6 | love, which in turn caused a disconnect in your ability to know | God, because you did not know yourself. |
T4:8.7 | process that was as known to you and chosen by you as it was by | God, because you and God are one. |
T4:8.7 | as known to you and chosen by you as it was by God, because you and | God are one. |
T4:8.8 | You might ask how, if what I’m saying is true, could | God disconnect from himself? What God could not disconnect from was |
T4:8.8 | if what I’m saying is true, could God disconnect from himself? What | God could not disconnect from was the true nature of the being of |
T4:8.8 | God could not disconnect from was the true nature of the being of | God, which is love. What God could not disconnect from was the true |
T4:8.8 | from was the true nature of the being of God, which is love. What | God could not disconnect from was the true nature of creation, which |
T4:8.8 | disconnect from was the true nature of creation, which is love. What | God, in effect had to do, what you in effect had to do in order to |
T4:8.8 | to do in order to live in a nature inconsistent with that from which | God could not disconnect, was disconnect from God. Since God was the |
T4:8.8 | with that from which God could not disconnect, was disconnect from | God. Since God was the center of your being, it was impossible to |
T4:8.8 | from which God could not disconnect, was disconnect from God. Since | God was the center of your being, it was impossible to disconnect |
T4:8.8 | thus inconsistent with your nature, fearfulness is inconsistent with | God. Judgment is inconsistent with God. Bondage or lack of freedom is |
T4:8.8 | fearfulness is inconsistent with God. Judgment is inconsistent with | God. Bondage or lack of freedom is inconsistent with God. |
T4:8.8 | with God. Bondage or lack of freedom is inconsistent with | God. |
T4:8.9 | God always knew what your mind chose to rebel against: that creation | |
T4:8.9 | to rebel against: that creation is perfect. Your mind, being of | God, was constrained by the learning limits of the body and chose to |
T4:8.9 | to explore new lands while still believing the Earth to be flat— | God saw and knew to be consistent with the nature of man, even while |
T4:8.9 | and struggle that this impatience generated was inconsistent with | God. |
T4:8.10 | Thus, what could | God then do? What does creation do with a storm arising on the |
T4:8.11 | that is the pattern of creation. Yet your rebellion was not with | God, although you came to see it as such. Your rebellion was not |
T4:8.11 | the most extreme of measures—this is what happened between you and | God. |
T4:8.12 | it was the created’s response. It was your response, and since | God is both the Creator and the Created, it was God’s response as |
T4:8.13 | to live as both the Created and the Creator, you expand and enrich | God. What other purpose would God ever have had for wanting to |
T4:8.13 | and the Creator, you expand and enrich God. What other purpose would | God ever have had for wanting to express the Love that is Himself in |
T4:8.14 | who you are that you come to know who you are, then this is true of | God as well. God could not be the only being in all of creation who |
T4:8.14 | that you come to know who you are, then this is true of God as well. | God could not be the only being in all of creation who remains static |
T4:8.14 | and identity is synonymous with creation? You like to think that | God knows everything, and God surely knows everything that is. But |
T4:8.14 | with creation? You like to think that God knows everything, and | God surely knows everything that is. But consciousness of what is, |
T4:8.14 | is, the Christ-consciousness that allows you to be in communion with | God, is not a static state. While consciousness of the truth is |
T4:9.9 | You who have provided a service cherished by | God, and who have risen in the esteem of your brothers and sisters, |
T4:10.14 | behind are called to return to your union and relationship with | God wherein you are creators along with God. |
T4:10.14 | union and relationship with God wherein you are creators along with | God. |
T4:12.21 | were created by the one mind and heart that you share in unity with | God. The new patterns of sharing in unity and relationship and thus |
T4:12.21 | being created by the one mind and heart that you share in unity with | God. You will be the co-creator of the new pattern of consciousness |
T4:12.34 | act of a loving Creator. Creation is a dialogue. Creation—which is | God and us in unity—will respond to our responses. Will respond to |
T4:12.34 | this not make perfect sense when you realize that creation, like | God, is not “other than” who you are? How could creation proceed on |
D:1.2 | is the same as you. In our union we bear the sameness of the Son of | God. In going forth with the vision of unity you become as I was |
D:1.12 | you now, today: The state of grace of the newly identified child of | God. |
D:1.23 | This is akin to thinking of a | god who exists outside or apart from yourself. If you fully accepted |
D:2.23 | This is the agreement | God asks of you, your part of the shared agreement that will fulfill |
D:3.22 | are the ideas of your brothers and sisters as much as they are of | God. I am teaching you nothing, nothing old and nothing new. I am |
D:4.1 | This Covenant is the fulfillment of the agreement between you and | God. The agreement is for you to be the new. As you are new, so too |
D:4.1 | The agreement is for you to be the new. As you are new, so too is | God, for you are one, if not the same. As you are new, so too is the |
D:5.14 | but to allow all that was created to show the way back to Self and | God to be what it is in truth. This is the return of love to love. |
D:5.15 | are going beyond simple recognition and acceptance of the Self as | God created the Self—to the living of this Self in form. This is an |
D:5.15 | form. This is an acceptance that recognizes that while the Self that | God created is eternal and the self of form as ancient as the sea and |
D:6.10 | What these laws of science do not take into account are the laws of | God. Although science is beginning to see much as it truly is, |
D:7.10 | nature associated with them—now can love all of your Self, all of | God, all of creation. You can respond to love with love. |
D:7.18 | Revelation is of | God. Observation, vision, and desire are steps leading you beyond |
D:7.27 | In truth, this circle is everything, the All of All, the universe, | God. But just as the Earth can be seen as your home, although you are |
D:9.5 | self. When it was said within this Course that you are an idea of | God, and when ideas were spoken of as if they were synonymous with |
D:11.2 | brothers and sisters, is insane. To think of the thought or idea of | God by which you were created as the same type of thought I have just |
D:11.13 | of unity. In our union we bear the sameness of the Son of | God. In going forth with the vision of unity you become as I was |
D:14.7 | It has been said often that revelation is of | God, but remember now that God is not “other than” and that the God |
D:14.7 | has been said often that revelation is of God, but remember now that | God is not “other than” and that the God who seemed so distant from |
D:14.7 | of God, but remember now that God is not “other than” and that the | God who seemed so distant from you when you abided in separation can |
D:15.3 | Life and the movement of being into form is what occurred when | God “spoke” and the Word came into being. Movement is energy, the |
D:15.7 | creation story of what was once my tradition as an example. Before | God “said” anything, a mighty wind swept over the wasteland and the |
D:15.8 | Then | God, a being, spoke. Here we have both the introduction of a being |
D:16.5 | Through the art of thought, these abilities become who we are. | God and Creation are synonymous, and you are reminded of that here as |
D:16.5 | are synonymous, and you are reminded of that here as you and | God become synonymous through Creation. Means and end are one. Cause |
D:16.5 | end are one. Cause and effect the same. Creation is means and end as | God is means and end. Creation is cause and effect as God is cause |
D:16.5 | and end as God is means and end. Creation is cause and effect as | God is cause and effect. When you move from the state of becoming to |
D:16.7 | is the spirit of the wind that animates all form. Love is spirit, is | God, is creation. Love is a description of the All of All because it |
D:16.7 | the state of unity, the only relationship through which the Self and | God become known to you. Love, God, Creation, are all that remained |
D:16.7 | through which the Self and God become known to you. Love, | God, Creation, are all that remained in union, in eternal completion, |
D:16.8 | expression are also what is because they are the givens. Love, like | God, like Creation, is the giver of the givens. Life was given |
D:16.8 | givens. Life was given through the extension and the expression of | God, of Love, of Creation—through the extension of wholeness—into |
D:16.9 | in choice. While you think that you can choose to stand apart from | God, apart from Love, apart from Creation, you cannot. But you can, |
D:16.18 | of your best self, who you may imagine now, through the grace of | God, you finally are. But this may also at times be an image of a |
D:17.19 | feel awe, which, it has been stated, is due nothing and no one but | God. To move beyond desire to reverence is to move into the state of |
D:17.19 | desire to reverence is to move into the state of communion with | God, full oneness with God, wholeness. |
D:17.19 | is to move into the state of communion with God, full oneness with | God, wholeness. |
D:Day1.2 | I care not in what form of the truth you believe, nor to what | god you believe you send your prayers; although if you do not believe |
D:Day1.2 | above a form of truth, and if you continue to send your prayers to a | god who is other than you, you will not cross the threshold. |
D:Day1.11 | accept me. You may claim that you understand that this power is of | God, whether it be the power of granting life to grow within the |
D:Day1.11 | matter whether this power be called Buddha or Allah, Muhammad or | God. |
D:Day1.12 | It matters not. The power of | God is not what is being spoken of here. It is our power that is |
D:Day1.12 | here. It is our power that is being spoken of here. The power of the | god man. The power of God brought into form. The power of who we are |
D:Day1.12 | that is being spoken of here. The power of the god man. The power of | God brought into form. The power of who we are rather than the power |
D:Day1.12 | into form. The power of who we are rather than the power of who | God is. |
D:Day1.13 | God cares not what you call Him. God knows who He is. It is man who | |
D:Day1.13 | God cares not what you call Him. | God knows who He is. It is man who has known not who he is, and it is |
D:Day1.27 | mountain succeeded my baptism and my acknowledgment as the Son of | God, and preceded my time of living as my Self in the world. So too |
D:Day2.9 | part of you that has compared your actions to the laws of man and | God and found yourself guilty. |
D:Day3.20 | There is still a commonly held belief that abundance is a favor of | God and, as such, those who do not experience abundance have done |
D:Day3.35 | Spirit, the time of a need for an intermediary between yourself and | God, is gone. You have been invited to know God directly, and to |
D:Day3.35 | between yourself and God, is gone. You have been invited to know | God directly, and to develop a relationship with God. It is only in |
D:Day3.35 | invited to know God directly, and to develop a relationship with | God. It is only in knowing God that the relationship of abundance |
D:Day3.35 | and to develop a relationship with God. It is only in knowing | God that the relationship of abundance will be made clear to you and |
D:Day3.36 | Use me not as an intermediary. It is only in relationship with the | God within that the way will become clear. |
D:Day3.38 | revealed to you, is a new way, the way of direct relationship with | God, the way of knowing through discovery. Remember always that |
D:Day3.45 | insane argument about abundance, is an acknowledgment, even from | God, that you do not have what you need, that you are lacking, and |
D:Day3.46 | are still waiting for provision. Even those of you who have asked | God for abundance, and opened yourselves to receive it, even those of |
D:Day3.49 | of considering how what you might do might affect the response of | God. You take this step without realizing that you are still acting |
D:Day3.49 | of it being an “if this, then that” world. You try to guess what | God might want you to do, be it being still and not worrying about |
D:Day3.59 | the compassionate and loving benevolence of the universe, of | God, of the All of All, and still accept the reality of lack. You |
D:Day4.21 | inaccurate world-view of the past, of the hereafter, of me, and of | God. Not only has your mind been misled, but your heart and soul as |
D:Day4.35 | You might think of the mountain top as symbolic of a place close to | God. If God was once seen as a figure in heaven, and heaven as a |
D:Day4.35 | think of the mountain top as symbolic of a place close to God. If | God was once seen as a figure in heaven, and heaven as a place beyond |
D:Day4.35 | top was symbolic of proximity. It was symbolic of a place from which | God was almost touchable. As if one could raise ones arms and touch |
D:Day4.35 | God was almost touchable. As if one could raise ones arms and touch | God, stretch just a little more and reach heaven. You thus may think |
D:Day4.35 | the mountain as a time of getting in touch with your own access to | God, your own access to heaven. You might think that if you stretch |
D:Day4.52 | denial asked of you, or because you still feel like bargaining with | God. These things are only reactions to faulty perceptions, only the |
D:Day4.54 | about to achieve your first glimpse of wholeness, of oneness with | God. To know the truth of your inheritance. |
D:Day9.11 | a goal, the achievement of an ideal image is to have created a false | god. |
D:Day9.31 | is the debunking of the myth of an ideal self. An ideal self, like a | god seen as “other than” puts all that you would long for in a place |
D:Day10.36 | live upon it have been pursued separately from one another and from | God—until recently. Now unity is being sought and unity is being |
D:Day11.5 | of being either the observer or the observed. This is as true of | God as it is of the self of form. God is the oneness and the |
D:Day11.5 | the observed. This is as true of God as it is of the self of form. | God is the oneness and the separation. Life is the relationship. God |
D:Day11.5 | God is the oneness and the separation. Life is the relationship. | God is what is. Life is the relationship of what is with Its Self. |
D:Day11.6 | The All of Everything is unknowable. Thus you are the knowable of | God. You are the knowable because you are the relationship of All |
D:Day11.7 | is the awareness of existence through relationship. It is not | God. It is not man. It is the relationship that allows the awareness |
D:Day11.7 | It is not man. It is the relationship that allows the awareness that | God is everything. It has been called wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is |
D:Day11.7 | It has been called wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is that without which | God would not know God. It is that which differentiates all from |
D:Day11.7 | wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is that without which God would not know | God. It is that which differentiates all from nothing. Because it is |
D:Day13.4 | in the relationships of the one Self with the many is the love of | God. There is no other love. God’s love is constantly being given, |
D:Day13.4 | in relationship. God’s love is your love. Your love is the love of | God. God is love. |
D:Day13.4 | relationship. God’s love is your love. Your love is the love of God. | God is love. |
D:Day13.5 | and the forms emptied of love. Where there is no love there is no | God present. Where there is no love there is a lack of godliness or |

D:Day14.11 | the spacious Self. God has been described as the “all knowing” for | God is the relationship. Relationship is the known. The unknown, like |
D:Day17.2 | You have been told Christ-consciousness is neither | God nor man but the relationship that allows the awareness that God |
D:Day17.2 | God nor man but the relationship that allows the awareness that | God is everything. You have been told Christ-consciousness has also |
D:Day17.2 | itself. It is both the feminine and masculine, the “identity” of | God, or in other words, the All of All given an identity. God holds |
D:Day17.2 | of God, or in other words, the All of All given an identity. | God holds you within Himself. Christ is held within you as the center |
D:Day17.2 | —as your identity and God’s identity. Christ is the “I Am” of | God, the expression of “I Am” in form, the animator and the animated, |
D:Day17.2 | of creation. Christ is that which anointed form with the “I Am” of | God. In many religious traditions, life is ritually or sacramentally |
D:Day17.3 | your true Self is being in union, undivided and inseparable from | God, the All of All. God is only the all-knowing because God is in |
D:Day17.3 | being in union, undivided and inseparable from God, the All of All. | God is only the all-knowing because God is in everything and |
D:Day17.3 | from God, the All of All. God is only the all-knowing because | God is in everything and everyone. Consciousness itself is not |
D:Day17.3 | and everyone. Consciousness itself is not knowing but awareness. | God is the creator of knowing because God created a means of coming |
D:Day17.3 | is not knowing but awareness. God is the creator of knowing because | God created a means of coming to know. This “part” of God, the |
D:Day17.3 | because God created a means of coming to know. This “part” of | God, the animator and informer, is Christ-consciousness. |
D:Day17.10 | The main ability of the individual is the ability to represent what | God created, the means of coming to know—which is |
D:Day18.2 | with the world. So do each of you. These two ways also represent | God and Christ-consciousness, the extension of God. God is everything |
D:Day18.2 | ways also represent God and Christ-consciousness, the extension of | God. God is everything in heaven and on earth and is in everything on |
D:Day18.2 | also represent God and Christ-consciousness, the extension of God. | God is everything in heaven and on earth and is in everything on |
D:Day18.2 | and on earth and is in everything on heaven and on earth. Thus, | God represents the world without. Christ-consciousness is God within |
D:Day18.2 | Thus, God represents the world without. Christ-consciousness is | God within you, your particular manifestation of God and relationship |
D:Day18.2 | is God within you, your particular manifestation of | God and relationship with the God within. |
D:Day18.2 | you, your particular manifestation of God and relationship with the | God within. |
D:Day19.8 | intermediary functions but demonstrated direct union with | God. Each demonstrated the creative aspect of that function in |
D:Day19.8 | different ways. But the function remained one of direct union with | God. This is quite literally the function of all in this new time. |
D:Day22.5 | known you are here to fulfill, the function of direct union with | God. |
D:Day22.6 | same function produces the same results. No one who is in union with | God is in union with the known. Yet it is as if through this union |
D:Day22.6 | that you touch when you fulfill your function of direct union with | God. How do you let it pass through you to the world? |
D:Day22.8 | This awareness of union with | God is what is now within you awaiting your expression. Awareness of |
D:Day22.8 | is now within you awaiting your expression. Awareness of union with | God exists in everything. It is there in every tree and every flower, |
D:Day22.8 | wind. It is time to be a channel for the awareness of union with | God that exists in every living being. |
D:Day22.9 | words that are simply calling you to realization of your union with | God and to the new world you can create once you accept and make real |
D:Day22.10 | You might think of yourself as a channel through which union with | God is expressed and made real here and now. There is no other time. |
D:Day22.11 | only the feeling that a place of union exists in which you know | God, in which you know love, in which you know of joy without sorrow, |
D:Day28.11 | You and | God are one. God is not the giver and you the receiver. |
D:Day28.11 | You and God are one. | God is not the giver and you the receiver. |
D:Day28.14 | If the attitude you will have greater need of reversing is that of | God determining the circumstances of your life, you have probably |
D:Day28.14 | of success or failure. Therefore, you think that you must take what | God has to “give.” |
D:Day29.1 | —where they cease to be real for us. Wholeness and separation, | God and man, life and the individuated self, what you do and who you |
D:Day30.5 | known, the experience and the experiencer. The quest to join with | God is this quest. The quest to be the knower and the known, the |
D:Day31.8 | Experience is not known separately from the Self. Self and | God are one and experiencing together in wholeness. For the |
D:Day31.8 | wholeness. For the individuated Self to experience separately from | God is to negate the purpose of the experience of the Self which is |
D:Day31.8 | God is to negate the purpose of the experience of the Self which is | God. To negate is to deny what is. The denial of what is is the |
D:Day32.1 | The experience of the Self is | God. It is not from God. It is not of God. It is God. |
D:Day32.1 | The experience of the Self is God. It is not from | God. It is not of God. It is God. |
D:Day32.1 | The experience of the Self is God. It is not from God. It is not of | God. It is God. |
D:Day32.1 | of the Self is God. It is not from God. It is not of God. It is | God. |
D:Day32.2 | If all of life is the oneness that is | God and God has chosen to experience that oneness through |
D:Day32.2 | If all of life is the oneness that is God and | God has chosen to experience that oneness through relationship, then |
D:Day32.2 | then you are also that experience and are in relationship with | God through that experience. |
D:Day32.3 | concepts of oneness and manyness for if you retain any notions of | God that are inaccurate, they will arise here. |
D:Day32.4 | Let us discuss, for a moment, the concept of | God because everyone has at least some sort of concept of God. |
D:Day32.4 | concept of God because everyone has at least some sort of concept of | God. |
D:Day32.5 | First we will look at the concept of | God as Supreme Being—God as one being, one entity. When thought of |
D:Day32.5 | First we will look at the concept of God as Supreme Being— | God as one being, one entity. When thought of in such a way, it is |
D:Day32.5 | When thought of in such a way, it is somewhat easier to relate to | God than when God is thought of in broader terms. You might think of |
D:Day32.5 | of in such a way, it is somewhat easier to relate to God than when | God is thought of in broader terms. You might think of God as you |
D:Day32.5 | God than when God is thought of in broader terms. You might think of | God as you think of yourself. When thinking of the ideas put forth |
D:Day32.5 | When thinking of the ideas put forth here, you might think of | God deciding to know Himself. You might think of God deciding to |
D:Day32.5 | you might think of God deciding to know Himself. You might think of | God deciding to create. You might think of God creating. You might |
D:Day32.5 | You might think of God deciding to create. You might think of | God creating. You might think of God granting free will to His |
D:Day32.5 | to create. You might think of God creating. You might think of | God granting free will to His creations. Then, perhaps, you might |
D:Day32.5 | free will to His creations. Then, perhaps, you might think of | God resting, or standing back and witnessing the unfolding of all |
D:Day32.6 | What would the purpose of this be? Would | God be standing back, judging Himself on the goodness of what He |
D:Day32.7 | Another concept of | God is that of Creator. This concept might have nothing to do with |
D:Day32.7 | of Creator. This concept might have nothing to do with the notion of | God wanting to know Himself. This concept may be quite amorphous and |
D:Day32.7 | than scientific notions of the source of life. Whether it be called | God or the Big Bang or evolution, this notion presents the concept of |
D:Day32.8 | Another idea of | God within the concept of a Creator God is of God existing in all of |
D:Day32.8 | Another idea of God within the concept of a Creator | God is of God existing in all of what has been created. God is, |
D:Day32.8 | Another idea of God within the concept of a Creator God is of | God existing in all of what has been created. God is, within this |
D:Day32.8 | of a Creator God is of God existing in all of what has been created. | God is, within this concept, seen as the spirit within all that lives |
D:Day32.8 | and also seen as an overriding spirit, a force, a unifying factor. | God is closer, within this idea, to being a participatory being, but |
D:Day32.8 | Man lives and has free will. Animals abide by the laws of nature. | God is still a concept. |
D:Day32.9 | Yet most religious beliefs encompass the concept of a living | God. How might God live? Could He live in time and space in a |
D:Day32.9 | religious beliefs encompass the concept of a living God. How might | God live? Could He live in time and space in a dimension we know not? |
D:Day32.10 | A concept of | God is not necessary. False concepts of God, however, are |
D:Day32.10 | A concept of God is not necessary. False concepts of | God, however, are compromising to God and to Self. |
D:Day32.10 | not necessary. False concepts of God, however, are compromising to | God and to Self. |
D:Day32.11 | to you of his life as an example life. Jesus was called the Son of | God and also God. Those who understand the meaning of any or all of |
D:Day32.11 | life as an example life. Jesus was called the Son of God and also | God. Those who understand the meaning of any or all of the example |
D:Day32.11 | any or all of the example lives that have come as revelations of who | God is, understand that those lives were not separate from God. |
D:Day32.11 | of who God is, understand that those lives were not separate from | God. |
D:Day32.12 | Yet to believe that | God is everyone can still make you feel as if you are not God. How |
D:Day32.12 | that God is everyone can still make you feel as if you are not | God. How can this be? This can be only because in your contemplation |
D:Day32.12 | of self. There is a rebellion, a negation of either the self or | God that occurs when these two concepts—concepts of the self and of |
D:Day32.12 | that occurs when these two concepts—concepts of the self and of | God—cannot be reconciled or joined in harmony. Either the self or |
D:Day32.12 | God—cannot be reconciled or joined in harmony. Either the self or | God takes precedence in all lives. All lives. There is no other |
D:Day32.12 | lives. All lives. There is no other choice as long as the self and | God are seen as separate. |
D:Day32.13 | Whether | God is seen as Creator or Supreme Being, God is still seen as the All |
D:Day32.13 | Whether God is seen as Creator or Supreme Being, | God is still seen as the All Powerful. While God is seen as the All |
D:Day32.13 | or Supreme Being, God is still seen as the All Powerful. While | God is seen as the All Powerful, man is disenfranchised. Even while |
D:Day32.13 | God is seen as the All Powerful, man is disenfranchised. Even while | God is perhaps seen in all things, or as the spirit by which all that |
D:Day32.13 | seen in all things, or as the spirit by which all that lives, lives, | God is still seen as having what man has not. The list of what one |
D:Day32.13 | as having what man has not. The list of what one can imagine makes | God powerful and man not could be endless, just as one could make an |
D:Day32.13 | one could make an endless list of what they believe differentiates | God from man. The example lives in which the power of God was |
D:Day32.13 | differentiates God from man. The example lives in which the power of | God was demonstrated in the lives of men and women are seen as little |
D:Day32.13 | as little more than pass-through situations in which the power of | God passed through men and women to other men and women. |
D:Day32.14 | Only Jesus was known as the Son of | God and as God. This is why Jesus came as your teacher and was used |
D:Day32.14 | Only Jesus was known as the Son of God and as | God. This is why Jesus came as your teacher and was used as the |
D:Day32.14 | is the point that this work has striven to get across. That man and | God are one. Not only is man God. But God is man and woman and child. |
D:Day32.14 | has striven to get across. That man and God are one. Not only is man | God. But God is man and woman and child. God is. |
D:Day32.14 | to get across. That man and God are one. Not only is man God. But | God is man and woman and child. God is. |
D:Day32.14 | are one. Not only is man God. But God is man and woman and child. | God is. |
D:Day32.15 | And yet, | God could not be all that is, or God would not be in relationship. If |
D:Day32.15 | And yet, God could not be all that is, or | God would not be in relationship. If the natural world around you has |
D:Day32.15 | around you has revealed anything to you of the nature of life and | God, it has revealed to you the truth of relationship. As has been |
D:Day32.15 | truly exist. Each entity or being would be singular and alone. Yet | God has been referred to as the All of All. How could God be the All |
D:Day32.15 | and alone. Yet God has been referred to as the All of All. How could | God be the All of All and not also be man? How can God be all that is |
D:Day32.15 | of All. How could God be the All of All and not also be man? How can | God be all that is and at the same time not all that is? How can God |
D:Day32.15 | can God be all that is and at the same time not all that is? How can | God be the All Powerful and Living God and also be lowly and |
D:Day32.15 | time not all that is? How can God be the All Powerful and Living | God and also be lowly and powerless man? |
D:Day32.16 | God has also been referred to within this work as relationship | |
D:Day32.17 | The claimed relationship of | God to Jesus was that of Father to Son but also as one in being. One |
D:Day32.18 | Could | God be one in being, but different in relationship, to each of us? |
D:Day32.18 | Could not God’s relationship to everything be what differentiates | God from us and us from God? So that we are both one in being and |
D:Day32.18 | to everything be what differentiates God from us and us from | God? So that we are both one in being and different? Could it be that |
D:Day32.18 | being and different? Could it be that while we are one in being with | God we can also become more god-like through the practice of holy |
D:Day32.18 | time together, be attempts to show you how you can be more like unto | God in relationship, even while you are God in being? |
D:Day32.18 | you can be more like unto God in relationship, even while you are | God in being? |
D:Day32.19 | Would this answer your questions concerning how | God is both different and the same? Would this answer your questions |
D:Day32.19 | without relationship. You are one in being with your Father, with | God, with the Creator and with all of creation. You are also, |
D:Day32.20 | God is the being and the relationship. You are capable of all the | |
D:Day32.20 | capable of all the power of God’s being but you are powerful only as | God is powerful—in relationship. Because God is in relationship |
D:Day32.20 | you are powerful only as God is powerful—in relationship. Because | God is in relationship with everything, God is All Powerful. Because |
D:Day32.20 | —in relationship. Because God is in relationship with everything, | God is All Powerful. Because you are in a state of limited |
D:Day32.20 | relationship, you have limited power. This is the difference between | God and man. This difference, however, can be diminished as you |
D:Day32.20 | As you embrace holy relationship you can become powerful as | God is powerful. |
D:Day33.1 | powerless is to embrace an idea laden with conflict. The power of | God exists within everyone because all are one in being with God. And |
D:Day33.1 | of God exists within everyone because all are one in being with | God. And yet this power cannot be used. It can only serve. What does |
D:Day33.7 | comes to you, every event, every situation, is of being, which is | God, which is love. |
D:Day33.11 | All relationship is with love because all relationship is with | God, who is one in being with you. |
D:Day33.12 | In the time of Jesus, the powerful were seen as being blessed by | God and the powerless as not being so blessed. This way of seeing has |
D:Day34.7 | experience your being as powerless, you are negating the power of | God who is one in being with you. |
D:Day34.8 | of sameness of being. Are you willing to experience the power of | God? To let it flow through you? Realize how many have said no to |
D:Day35.1 | In your relationship to | God, who is your being, you can know relationship to everything, |
D:Day35.3 | end of relationship. You have always existed in relationship with | God who is your being. But while it has been said that you are one in |
D:Day35.3 | are one in being and different in relationship, relationship is also | God. God is the relationship of everything to everything. |
D:Day35.3 | in being and different in relationship, relationship is also God. | God is the relationship of everything to everything. |
D:Day35.4 | to yourself and others, without realizing that your being is | God, that others are one with you, that God is the relationship of |
D:Day35.4 | realizing that your being is God, that others are one with you, that | God is the relationship of everything to everything, or that you are |
D:Day35.4 | to everything, or that you are the relationship of everything to | God. Everything that is shared with God is shared with all because |
D:Day35.4 | relationship of everything to God. Everything that is shared with | God is shared with all because God is in relationship with |
D:Day35.4 | God. Everything that is shared with God is shared with all because | God is in relationship with everything. It has been said that when |
D:Day35.5 | being that you were not sharing the relationship of everything with | God? As long as you have known that you are a self, as long as you |
D:Day35.5 | as you have been aware of your own existence, you have been aware of | God. Your awareness of Self is God. God’s awareness of you is Self. |
D:Day35.5 | own existence, you have been aware of God. Your awareness of Self is | God. God’s awareness of you is Self. This awareness exists in |
D:Day35.19 | is as different from creating in unity as has been your concept of | God and man. Few of you have even thought of creating as God creates. |
D:Day35.19 | concept of God and man. Few of you have even thought of creating as | God creates. You have barely been able to accept the thought of the |
D:Day35.21 | some role in the creation of your life. You may feel that at times | God has intervened, or that at times you have been a victim of fate, |
D:Day36.9 | always been creating because you have always been one in being with | God who is endlessly creating. But you are only now a creator in |
D:Day36.10 | Without your awareness of unity and relationship, it was as if | God was everything and you were nothing, or as if you were everything |
D:Day36.10 | everything and you were nothing, or as if you were everything and | God was nothing. But just as with all and nothing, there was no |
D:Day36.10 | and God’s being without relationship. You could conceive of self and | God in different ways, but you could not truly create difference but |
D:Day36.10 | perceive of difference. You thus always remained one in being with | God, yet continued to relate only to a world and to experiences you |
D:Day36.10 | to experiences you perceived as being either created by a separate | God or created by your separate self. You experienced the power of |
D:Day36.11 | There is only difference between your being and | God in relationship. This is the example that the ideas of Father, |
D:Day36.11 | ideas of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as a trinity representing one | God were meant to portray. The Son could only be God in relationship |
D:Day36.11 | representing one God were meant to portray. The Son could only be | God in relationship to God. The Holy Spirit could only be God in |
D:Day36.11 | were meant to portray. The Son could only be God in relationship to | God. The Holy Spirit could only be God in relationship to God. The |
D:Day36.11 | only be God in relationship to God. The Holy Spirit could only be | God in relationship to God. The Father could only be God in |
D:Day36.11 | to God. The Holy Spirit could only be God in relationship to | God. The Father could only be God in relationship to God. God could |
D:Day36.11 | could only be God in relationship to God. The Father could only be | God in relationship to God. God could only be the Father, Son, and |
D:Day36.11 | relationship to God. The Father could only be God in relationship to | God. God could only be the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in |
D:Day36.11 | to God. The Father could only be God in relationship to God. | God could only be the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in relationship. |
D:Day36.11 | Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in relationship. Without relationship, | God is simply all—being. Without relationship, what is not God is |
D:Day36.11 | God is simply all—being. Without relationship, what is not | God is simply being—simply existing at the opposite end of the |
D:Day36.12 | is this simple nothingness of existence without relationship to | God, and thus existence without relationship to the power of |
D:Day36.14 | Because you have always been one in being with | God, this power—this power of being—has always been yours. The |
D:Day36.15 | creativity and knowing or perception is to be one in being with | God. Accept this, for this is what God is and what you are. This is |
D:Day36.15 | is to be one in being with God. Accept this, for this is what | God is and what you are. This is being. To be one in being with God |
D:Day36.15 | what God is and what you are. This is being. To be one in being with | God and yet to exist outside of the powerful state of relationship |
D:Day36.16 | When you realize that you are one in being with | God and different in relationship you accept the power of being, or |
D:Day36.16 | in relationship you accept the power of being, or individuating | God. You accept the power of God. You become powerful. |
D:Day36.16 | the power of being, or individuating God. You accept the power of | God. You become powerful. |
D:Day36.17 | God remains God who is one in being with all, and God also is given | |
D:Day36.17 | God remains | God who is one in being with all, and God also is given form, or is, |
D:Day36.17 | God remains God who is one in being with all, and | God also is given form, or is, in other words, differentiated. God is |
D:Day36.17 | and God also is given form, or is, in other words, differentiated. | God is All in All. And God is also All in One and All in Many. God is |
D:Day36.17 | form, or is, in other words, differentiated. God is All in All. And | God is also All in One and All in Many. God is still the Creator of |
D:Day36.17 | God is All in All. And God is also All in One and All in Many. | God is still the Creator of All, but God is also now the Creator of |
D:Day36.17 | All in One and All in Many. God is still the Creator of All, but | God is also now the Creator of One, the Creator of the experience of |
D:Day36.17 | the experience and the experiencer of life. Through differentiation, | God is you as you are God. God retains oneness of being and also |
D:Day36.17 | experiencer of life. Through differentiation, God is you as you are | God. God retains oneness of being and also becomes a being in union |
D:Day36.17 | of life. Through differentiation, God is you as you are God. | God retains oneness of being and also becomes a being in union and |
D:Day36.18 | Yet you do not disappear or cease to be. You are not replaced by | God whom you have always been one with in being. You simply accept |
D:Day37.1 | What we have just done is replaced an old idea of | God with a new idea of God. |
D:Day37.1 | we have just done is replaced an old idea of God with a new idea of | God. |
D:Day37.2 | If you no longer believe in | God as a supreme and separate being, why should it be difficult to |
D:Day37.2 | a supreme and separate being, why should it be difficult to see that | God is being? This is not much different than saying that the most |
D:Day37.2 | you is that you are being—and that the most basic truth about | God is that God is being. Yet the fact that you are being does not |
D:Day37.2 | that you are being—and that the most basic truth about God is that | God is being. Yet the fact that you are being does not define who you |
D:Day37.6 | Relationship and union are the way of | God. The way of heart and mind, body and soul, heaven and earth. God |
D:Day37.6 | of God. The way of heart and mind, body and soul, heaven and earth. | God is being in unity and relationship. So are you. |
D:Day37.7 | How then, you might ask, are you distinct from | God? Is your body distinct from your aliveness? You keep looking for |
D:Day37.7 | distinct from your aliveness? You keep looking for distinction from | God as if distinction means separation—as if God is a separate |
D:Day37.7 | for distinction from God as if distinction means separation—as if | God is a separate being. If this were all this idea was, it would not |
D:Day37.7 | difficult to dislodge, but the difficulty lies in that you think of | God in your image, and the image you hold of yourself has been |
D:Day37.7 | been inaccurate. Because you believe you are separate, you created | God as a particular and separate being. |
D:Day37.8 | continue a certain reliance. Your differentiation from the being of | God can only come through the relationship and unity that you would |
D:Day37.8 | be like demanding to be a body and not a mind! Your reliance on | God can only come through the relationship and unity that you would |
D:Day37.9 | as intent as you have been on your idea of a separate and particular | God is that you want to believe that there is a compassionate being |
D:Day37.9 | everything, looking out for you, there to help when you are in need. | God is all compassionate being everywhere—not one being of |
D:Day37.9 | you to become the one being of compassion that you already are in | God. |
D:Day37.10 | And then you realize that Jesus was being | God and was called Jesus Christ because he lived within |
D:Day37.10 | consciousness that you share. You realize that the man, the | God, the historical figure who has been called Jesus Christ was not |
D:Day37.12 | for a moment at what and who you have been being and what and who | God has been being. |
D:Day37.13 | been being. The simple truth that you are a being makes you one with | God, who is being. This truth, however, has escaped you. So you have |
D:Day37.13 | seen as separate rather than distinct from the divine being who is | God. Because you are being, however, (and note here that you are |
D:Day37.13 | you are being, however, (and note here that you are being, and | God is being, and that it is not being said that either you or God |
D:Day37.13 | and God is being, and that it is not being said that either you or | God are “a” being) you have power—the power of being which is the |
D:Day37.14 | either that you are in complete control of your life, or that | God or fate have as much control as you do. You may believe yourself, |
D:Day37.14 | or fate have as much control as you do. You may believe yourself, | God, and fate to be benevolent, or you may believe that everything, |
D:Day37.15 | than even all of this, you might ask, if you are one in being with | God, is it being said that you are being God? That you have been |
D:Day37.15 | you are one in being with God, is it being said that you are being | God? That you have been being God even within the limited parameters |
D:Day37.15 | is it being said that you are being God? That you have been being | God even within the limited parameters of life as you have known it? |
D:Day37.16 | human being having a separate and distinct relationship with | God, by which you mean a relationship like no other. And if you see |
D:Day37.17 | to be a tree blowing in the wind, what it would be like to know | God, but you cannot know, and your separate being “knows” of this |
D:Day37.20 | Now let us talk of | God. |
D:Day37.21 | God is being in unity and relationship with everything. Thus God | |
D:Day37.21 | God is being in unity and relationship with everything. Thus | God knows you. God is one in being with you because you are one |
D:Day37.21 | being in unity and relationship with everything. Thus God knows you. | God is one in being with you because you are one aspect of |
D:Day37.21 | everything. As one being in unity and relationship with everything | God is one with every thought and every feeling. God is one with |
D:Day37.21 | with everything God is one with every thought and every feeling. | God is one with every creation. God is all knowing. God is, in short, |
D:Day37.21 | every thought and every feeling. God is one with every creation. | God is all knowing. God is, in short, the collective consciousness |
D:Day37.21 | every feeling. God is one with every creation. God is all knowing. | God is, in short, the collective consciousness and the collective |
D:Day37.22 | also be called the “being” that you appeal to when you appeal to | God. Knowing what you are coming to know about the true nature of God |
D:Day37.22 | to God. Knowing what you are coming to know about the true nature of | God should thus not leave you feeling bereft of a God you can feel |
D:Day37.22 | the true nature of God should thus not leave you feeling bereft of a | God you can feel close to, appeal to, thank and praise. But doing so |
D:Day37.22 | But doing so can also be confusing if it leads to thoughts of | God as a particular being. Yet the idea of God as Father, introduced |
D:Day37.22 | it leads to thoughts of God as a particular being. Yet the idea of | God as Father, introduced and championed by Jesus Christ, was also |
D:Day37.22 | was also created by Jesus Christ. Thus is the power of man and | God together, the power of creation. What this is saying is that |
D:Day37.22 | the power of creation. What this is saying is that there is a | God the Father to relate to and that this God the Father does not |
D:Day37.22 | saying is that there is a God the Father to relate to and that this | God the Father does not negate God, nor does God negate God the |
D:Day37.22 | the Father to relate to and that this God the Father does not negate | God, nor does God negate God the Father. |
D:Day37.22 | relate to and that this God the Father does not negate God, nor does | God negate God the Father. |
D:Day37.22 | that this God the Father does not negate God, nor does God negate | God the Father. |
D:Day37.23 | God the Father is an idea that was created and thus exists much as | |
D:Day37.23 | is an idea that was created and thus exists much as other ideas of | God were created and thus exist. But this creation, like the creation |
D:Day37.23 | creation, like the creation of Jesus Christ himself, is not all of | God, while at the same time it is all of God just as Jesus was and is |
D:Day37.23 | himself, is not all of God, while at the same time it is all of | God just as Jesus was and is all of God. In union and relationship, |
D:Day37.23 | at the same time it is all of God just as Jesus was and is all of | God. In union and relationship, God is all and God is differentiated. |
D:Day37.23 | God just as Jesus was and is all of God. In union and relationship, | God is all and God is differentiated. |
D:Day37.23 | was and is all of God. In union and relationship, God is all and | God is differentiated. |
D:Day37.24 | Jesus, the example life used throughout this Course, was both man and | God. He was being in unity and relationship. Being God did not negate |
D:Day37.24 | was both man and God. He was being in unity and relationship. Being | God did not negate his being Jesus. And being Jesus did not negate |
D:Day37.24 | God did not negate his being Jesus. And being Jesus did not negate | God being God. Jesus could create God the Father, could create a |
D:Day37.24 | not negate his being Jesus. And being Jesus did not negate God being | God. Jesus could create God the Father, could create a being |
D:Day37.24 | And being Jesus did not negate God being God. Jesus could create | God the Father, could create a being consistent with his being, |
D:Day37.25 | Jesus was all of | God and God was all of Jesus while at the same time each was |
D:Day37.25 | Jesus was all of God and | God was all of Jesus while at the same time each was different or |
D:Day37.26 | The only real difference that exists or has ever existed between | God and man is that man sees difference in a way that makes no sense. |
D:Day37.26 | of creation. To differentiate in union and relationship is to be | God in form—to give expression to “all” that exists in union and |
D:Day37.27 | By simply being, you have been “part” of | God but you have not seen this as what it really means either. You |
D:Day37.27 | have seen this as being separate, or at most as being “a” part of | God—as if you are a drop of water in the ocean—and in this |
D:Day37.27 | in the ocean—and in this example reemphasized the mightiness of | God and the lowliness of man. The “part” of God you have been being |
D:Day37.27 | the mightiness of God and the lowliness of man. The “part” of | God you have been being is being. You have been a feeling, thinking, |
D:Day37.27 | been a feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving being. The “part” of | God you have not been being is union. Remember, God is being in union |
D:Day37.27 | being. The “part” of God you have not been being is union. Remember, | God is being in union and relationship. This is what God is. God is |
D:Day37.27 | Remember, God is being in union and relationship. This is what | God is. God is being. God is relationship. God is union. |
D:Day37.27 | God is being in union and relationship. This is what God is. | God is being. God is relationship. God is union. |

D:Day38.3 | I ask you to be attentive, to the relationship that you feel with | God. |
D:Day38.5 | Call me | God the Father, call me God the Mother, call me Creator, or Great |

D:Day38.10 | your own Self. Now it is time to see me as your own God as well as | God of all. Now it is time to call me who I Am. |
D:Day39.5 | of knowing, and your embrace of mystery. Of knowing me as your | God and as God of all. Of knowing you are no longer being on your own |
D:Day39.5 | and your embrace of mystery. Of knowing me as your God and as | God of all. Of knowing you are no longer being on your own and yet of |
D:Day39.7 | necessary link between the separate and each other, between all and | God. Yet if the time of Christ is about the end of the need for the |
D:Day39.18 | you through your projection. And yet what you projected and called | God, just as what you projected and named thousands of other |
D:Day39.18 | you would give it. This is your universe. I have been, to you, the | God of this universe. |
D:Day39.20 | Have I been a benevolent | God in your universe? Then you have been benevolent and seen your |
D:Day39.21 | Have I been a judgmental | God in your universe? Then you have been judgmental and lived in a |
D:Day39.22 | Have I been a powerful | God who can work miracles? Then you have been a powerful miracle |
D:Day39.23 | Have I been a distant | God who does not show his love for you or others? Then you have been |
D:Day39.24 | Have I been a | God you have sought and never found? Then you have not found yourself. |
D:Day39.25 | Have I been a fair | God? Then you have been fair and the world has treated you fairly. |
D:Day39.26 | Have I been the | God of your religion? Then you have been religious. |
D:Day39.27 | Have I been a | God of vengeance? Then you have been vengeful. |

D:Day39.32 | Have you had no | god, no science, no career, no fame, but only a life of hate and |

D:Day40.11 | —because I am attributeless being. I am love, being. But in being | God, as in being human, being takes on attributes. As was said |
D:Day40.11 | process rather than the process of separation. In being | God, I Am. In being love there is no I Am, but only love being. |
D:Day40.13 | is the awareness of existence through relationship. It is not | God. It is not man. It is the relationship that allows the awareness |
D:Day40.13 | It is not man. It is the relationship that allows the awareness that | God is everything. It has been called wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is |
D:Day40.13 | It has been called wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is that without which | God would not know God. It is that which differentiates All from |
D:Day40.13 | wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is that without which God would not know | God. It is that which differentiates All from nothing. Because it is |
D:Day40.14 | The difference between you and me is that I am being | God and also love, being. This is why I am all and nothing, the |
D:Day40.14 | love, being. This is why I am all and nothing, the attribute-laden | God and the attributeless love. This is why it can be rightly said |
D:Day40.14 | and the attributeless love. This is why it can be rightly said that | God is Love and Love is God. But I am also an extension of love, just |
D:Day40.14 | This is why it can be rightly said that God is Love and Love is | God. But I am also an extension of love, just as you are. This is all |
D:Day40.15 | Only in my relationship to you am I | God. Only in your relationship to me are you who you are in truth. |
D:Day40.16 | that in their totality would define your life, so have I, as | God, had many “separate” relationships with you and your brothers and |
D:Day40.16 | different, many of you have gone on quests to find the “one, true, | God.” Do you not see that this would be like going on a quest to find |
D:Day40.20 | has kept you as intrigued with the idea of self as with the idea of | God. You have searched for a “one, true, self” as you have searched |
D:Day40.20 | for a “one, true, self” as you have searched for a “one, true, | God.” This search only makes sense to the separated self, who |
D:Day40.20 | things are separate and thus believes that its self, as well as its | God, must be separate from what it is being. It doesn’t understand, |
D:Day40.21 | God is a relationship with love. This relationship with love is all | |
D:Day40.21 | This relationship with love is all that provides for the I Am of | God. |
E.4 | asked to “Imagine the ocean or the cheetah, the sun or the moon or | God Himself, attempting to learn what they are. They are the same as |

C:P.24 | The Course speaks of patience that is infinite. | God is patient, but the world is not. God is patient for God sees you |
C:P.24 | of patience that is infinite. God is patient, but the world is not. | God is patient for God sees you only as you are. The Christ in you is |
C:P.27 | Obviously the nature of | God is different than the nature of man. God does not have physical |
C:P.34 | The content of | God is love. Jesus embodied God by embodying love. He came to reverse |
C:2.8 | that these are the only options available to creatures of a loving | God is insane. Yet you believe that to think the opposite is true |
C:2.11 | you have made of it. The Bible instructs you to be compassionate as | God is compassionate. You have defined it unlike the compassion of |
C:2.12 | To be compassionate as | God is compassionate is to see as God sees. Again, I stress to you, |
C:4.5 | on your inability to recognize love and thus who you are and who | God is. How could you not have been fearful with doubt as powerful as |
C:5.4 | Union is impossible without God. | God is union. Is this not like saying God is Love? Love is impossible |
C:5.4 | is impossible without God. God is union. Is this not like saying | God is Love? Love is impossible without union. The same is true of |
C:5.22 | this desire to be separate and alone. Your entire resistance to | God is based on this. You think you have chosen to be separate from |
C:5.30 | God is known to you within relationships, as this is all that is real | |
C:6.19 | God’s beloved son and dwelling place of God Himself? It is because | God is not separate from anything that you cannot be. It is because |
C:6.19 | God is not separate from anything that you cannot be. It is because | God is not separate from anything that heaven is where you are. It is |
C:6.19 | separate from anything that heaven is where you are. It is because | God is love that all your relationships are holy, and from them you |
C:8.17 | terms that set your reality in a location, on a planet, in a body. | God is here and you belong to God. This is the only sense in which |
C:8.17 | or should accept the notion that you belong here. When you realize | God is here, then and only then can you truthfully say here is where |
C:9.34 | to a previous condition that you imagine you know. In this scenario | God is like unto your banker rather than your Father. You would prove |
C:10.13 | sisters, right now, today. To believe in God without understanding | God is one thing. To believe in your union with your neighbor without |
C:11.9 | To think you must protect anything from | God is insane, and you know that this is so. But because you view |
C:12.4 | yourself. Yet you must understand that nothing that is not part of | God is worthy of joining, nor can join with you. What you have sought |
C:12.24 | benevolent and kind, or just another name for love, but such it is. | God is but creation’s starting point, the creator of creation and yet |
C:12.24 | like unto Creation, proceeded from the starting point of God. | God is the Son and Holy Spirit’s starting point as well, the Creator |
C:16.16 | to your memory of creation. To wrestle the right to judge away from | God is an act against God, and like a child who has dared to defy his |
C:17.2 | as well as in regard to relationship. Your choice to separate from | God is but a separation from your own Self, and this is truly the |

C:19.14 | the riddle, the mystery, of the divine, and why they conclude that | God is unknowable. God is knowable from within the mystery of |
C:19.14 | of the divine, and why they conclude that God is unknowable. | God is knowable from within the mystery of non-duality itself. It |
C:19.17 | other hand, when only one of anything exists it is highly prized. | God is thus “God” due, at least in part, to what you view as His |
C:23.6 | consuming. Yet, while God transcends knowing, your relationship with | God is how you know both God and your Self. |
C:27.10 | objects and bodies, as all that exists, and thus who you are and who | God is? Is it such a huge leap to go from saying you only exist in |
C:29.3 | your notion of yourself, and to minimize it. To be of service to | God is not to be a slave to God but to attend to God. To give God |
C:29.15 | Life is service to God. | God is service to life. You are God in life. Thus you are both life |
C:29.25 | you have received only needs to be given? The indivisibleness of | God is simply this: an unbroken chain of giving and receiving. Thus |
T1:2.21 | To experience what is and to acknowledge what is as being a gift of | God is to be present as a divine being having a human experience. No |
T1:4.26 | this thought, for doubt about your Self is doubt about God. While | God is nothing but the Source of Love, you have, in your doubt, made |
T1:8.2 | manifestation, in form, of the Will of God. Thus too have you been. | God is the giver of life, thus life is God’s Will. But with my |
T1:10.8 | Whether you believe it now or not, I assure you, within the Peace of | God is all the joy of what you have known as the human experience and |
T3:5.8 | rebirth of the Self, the original purpose goes unfulfilled. Since | God is original purpose, original cause, the origin of self and of |
T3:6.4 | bitterness remains, vengeance will remain. You have been shown that | God is not a God of vengeance but that you are still in the process |
T3:7.2 | there are no beliefs that represent the truth of who you are and who | God is, we speak now of ideas or thoughts. If you believe that God |
T3:8.1 | The Kingdom of | God is the House of Truth. Or better said, the House of Truth has |
T3:17.6 | is not other than who you are but an aspect of who you are and Who | God Is. Let me remind you also that names, such as Holy Spirit, are |
T4:5.10 | To align your will with the Will of | God is to make the choice for Christ-consciousness, to make the |
T4:8.3 | The heart of | God is the center of the universe, as your own heart is the center of |
T4:8.3 | universe, as your own heart is the center of your being. The mind of | God is the source of all ideas, just as “your” mind is the source of |
T4:8.12 | it was the created’s response. It was your response, and since | God is both the Creator and the Created, it was God’s response as |
D:14.7 | has been said often that revelation is of God, but remember now that | God is not “other than” and that the God who seemed so distant from |
D:16.5 | end are one. Cause and effect the same. Creation is means and end as | God is means and end. Creation is cause and effect as God is cause |
D:16.5 | and end as God is means and end. Creation is cause and effect as | God is cause and effect. When you move from the state of becoming to |
D:Day1.12 | It matters not. The power of | God is not what is being spoken of here. It is our power that is |
D:Day1.12 | into form. The power of who we are rather than the power of who | God is. |
D:Day11.5 | the observed. This is as true of God as it is of the self of form. | God is the oneness and the separation. Life is the relationship. God |
D:Day11.5 | God is the oneness and the separation. Life is the relationship. | God is what is. Life is the relationship of what is with Its Self. |
D:Day11.7 | It is not man. It is the relationship that allows the awareness that | God is everything. It has been called wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is |
D:Day13.4 | relationship. God’s love is your love. Your love is the love of God. | God is love. |
D:Day14.11 | the spacious Self. God has been described as the “all knowing” for | God is the relationship. Relationship is the known. The unknown, like |
D:Day17.2 | God nor man but the relationship that allows the awareness that | God is everything. You have been told Christ-consciousness has also |
D:Day17.3 | being in union, undivided and inseparable from God, the All of All. | God is only the all-knowing because God is in everything and |
D:Day17.3 | from God, the All of All. God is only the all-knowing because | God is in everything and everyone. Consciousness itself is not |
D:Day17.3 | and everyone. Consciousness itself is not knowing but awareness. | God is the creator of knowing because God created a means of coming |
D:Day18.2 | also represent God and Christ-consciousness, the extension of God. | God is everything in heaven and on earth and is in everything on |
D:Day22.6 | same function produces the same results. No one who is in union with | God is in union with the known. Yet it is as if through this union |
D:Day22.8 | This awareness of union with | God is what is now within you awaiting your expression. Awareness of |
D:Day22.10 | You might think of yourself as a channel through which union with | God is expressed and made real here and now. There is no other time. |
D:Day28.11 | You and God are one. | God is not the giver and you the receiver. |
D:Day30.5 | known, the experience and the experiencer. The quest to join with | God is this quest. The quest to be the knower and the known, the |
D:Day31.8 | wholeness. For the individuated Self to experience separately from | God is to negate the purpose of the experience of the Self which is |
D:Day32.5 | of in such a way, it is somewhat easier to relate to God than when | God is thought of in broader terms. You might think of God as you |
D:Day32.7 | Another concept of | God is that of Creator. This concept might have nothing to do with |
D:Day32.8 | Another idea of God within the concept of a Creator | God is of God existing in all of what has been created. God is, |
D:Day32.8 | of a Creator God is of God existing in all of what has been created. | God is, within this concept, seen as the spirit within all that lives |
D:Day32.8 | and also seen as an overriding spirit, a force, a unifying factor. | God is closer, within this idea, to being a participatory being, but |
D:Day32.8 | Man lives and has free will. Animals abide by the laws of nature. | God is still a concept. |
D:Day32.10 | A concept of | God is not necessary. False concepts of God, however, are |
D:Day32.11 | any or all of the example lives that have come as revelations of who | God is, understand that those lives were not separate from God. |
D:Day32.12 | Yet to believe that | God is everyone can still make you feel as if you are not God. How |
D:Day32.13 | Whether | God is seen as Creator or Supreme Being, God is still seen as the All |
D:Day32.13 | Whether God is seen as Creator or Supreme Being, | God is still seen as the All Powerful. While God is seen as the All |
D:Day32.13 | or Supreme Being, God is still seen as the All Powerful. While | God is seen as the All Powerful, man is disenfranchised. Even while |
D:Day32.13 | God is seen as the All Powerful, man is disenfranchised. Even while | God is perhaps seen in all things, or as the spirit by which all that |
D:Day32.13 | seen in all things, or as the spirit by which all that lives, lives, | God is still seen as having what man has not. The list of what one |
D:Day32.14 | to get across. That man and God are one. Not only is man God. But | God is man and woman and child. God is. |
D:Day32.14 | are one. Not only is man God. But God is man and woman and child. | God is. |
D:Day32.19 | Would this answer your questions concerning how | God is both different and the same? Would this answer your questions |
D:Day32.20 | God is the being and the relationship. You are capable of all the | |
D:Day32.20 | capable of all the power of God’s being but you are powerful only as | God is powerful—in relationship. Because God is in relationship |
D:Day32.20 | you are powerful only as God is powerful—in relationship. Because | God is in relationship with everything, God is All Powerful. Because |
D:Day32.20 | —in relationship. Because God is in relationship with everything, | God is All Powerful. Because you are in a state of limited |
D:Day32.20 | As you embrace holy relationship you can become powerful as | God is powerful. |
D:Day35.3 | in being and different in relationship, relationship is also God. | God is the relationship of everything to everything. |
D:Day35.4 | realizing that your being is God, that others are one with you, that | God is the relationship of everything to everything, or that you are |
D:Day35.4 | relationship of everything to God. Everything that is shared with | God is shared with all because God is in relationship with |
D:Day35.4 | God. Everything that is shared with God is shared with all because | God is in relationship with everything. It has been said that when |
D:Day36.11 | Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in relationship. Without relationship, | God is simply all—being. Without relationship, what is not God is |
D:Day36.11 | God is simply all—being. Without relationship, what is not | God is simply being—simply existing at the opposite end of the |
D:Day36.15 | is to be one in being with God. Accept this, for this is what | God is and what you are. This is being. To be one in being with God |
D:Day36.17 | and God also is given form, or is, in other words, differentiated. | God is All in All. And God is also All in One and All in Many. God is |
D:Day36.17 | form, or is, in other words, differentiated. God is All in All. And | God is also All in One and All in Many. God is still the Creator of |
D:Day36.17 | God is All in All. And God is also All in One and All in Many. | God is still the Creator of All, but God is also now the Creator of |
D:Day36.17 | All in One and All in Many. God is still the Creator of All, but | God is also now the Creator of One, the Creator of the experience of |
D:Day36.17 | the experience and the experiencer of life. Through differentiation, | God is you as you are God. God retains oneness of being and also |
D:Day37.2 | a supreme and separate being, why should it be difficult to see that | God is being? This is not much different than saying that the most |
D:Day37.2 | you is that you are being—and that the most basic truth about | God is that God is being. Yet the fact that you are being does not |
D:Day37.2 | that you are being—and that the most basic truth about God is that | God is being. Yet the fact that you are being does not define who you |
D:Day37.6 | of God. The way of heart and mind, body and soul, heaven and earth. | God is being in unity and relationship. So are you. |
D:Day37.7 | for distinction from God as if distinction means separation—as if | God is a separate being. If this were all this idea was, it would not |
D:Day37.9 | as intent as you have been on your idea of a separate and particular | God is that you want to believe that there is a compassionate being |
D:Day37.9 | everything, looking out for you, there to help when you are in need. | God is all compassionate being everywhere—not one being of |
D:Day37.13 | you are being, however, (and note here that you are being, and | God is being, and that it is not being said that either you or God |

D:Day37.21 | being in unity and relationship with everything. Thus God knows you. | God is one in being with you because you are one aspect of |
D:Day37.21 | everything. As one being in unity and relationship with everything | God is one with every thought and every feeling. God is one with |
D:Day37.21 | with everything God is one with every thought and every feeling. | God is one with every creation. God is all knowing. God is, in short, |

D:Day37.21 | every feeling. God is one with every creation. God is all knowing. | God is, in short, the collective consciousness and the collective |
D:Day37.23 | God just as Jesus was and is all of God. In union and relationship, | God is all and God is differentiated. |
D:Day37.23 | was and is all of God. In union and relationship, God is all and | God is differentiated. |
D:Day37.27 | being. The “part” of God you have not been being is union. Remember, | God is being in union and relationship. This is what God is. God is |
D:Day37.27 | Remember, God is being in union and relationship. This is what | God is. God is being. God is relationship. God is union. |
D:Day37.27 | God is being in union and relationship. This is what God is. | God is being. God is relationship. God is union. |
D:Day37.27 | being in union and relationship. This is what God is. God is being. | God is relationship. God is union. |
D:Day37.27 | This is what God is. God is being. God is relationship. | God is union. |
D:Day40.13 | It is not man. It is the relationship that allows the awareness that | God is everything. It has been called wisdom, Sophia, spirit. It is |
D:Day40.14 | and the attributeless love. This is why it can be rightly said that | God is Love and Love is God. But I am also an extension of love, just |
D:Day40.21 | God is a relationship with love. This relationship with love is all | |

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

C:P.30 | their family to begin their “own” life, so have you done as part of | God’s family. In the human family the separateness and independence |
C:1.4 | God’s only thought is love. It is a thought without limit, endlessly | |
C:1.4 | without limit, endlessly creating. Because of the extension of | God’s thought of love, you exist. I exist with you in this selfsame |

C:4.6 | into night in a long march toward death. Recognize who you are and | God’s light goes before you, illuminating every path and shining away |
C:4.10 | There are no losers and no winners under | God’s law. Not one is given more than another. God cannot love you |
C:4.10 | cannot love you more than your neighbor, nor can you earn more of | God’s love than you have, or a better place in Heaven. The mind, |
C:4.16 | is given returned in kind. This is a balancing act you play with | God’s most holy gift, resenting giving love that gains you little in |
C:6.19 | could it not encompass everything and still be what it is: home to | God’s beloved son and dwelling place of God Himself? It is because |
C:8.24 | To see this reality is to see the image of God you have created in | God’s likeness. This image is based on your memory of the truth of |
C:8.24 | God’s likeness. This image is based on your memory of the truth of | God’s creation and your desire to create like your Father. It is the |
C:8.25 | in separation. The thought system of God sees everything in unity. | God’s thought system is one of continuous creation, rebirth and |
C:8.27 | Thus your memory of | God’s creation is a memory you retain to the smallest detail, and yet |
C:8.28 | day you feel despair? How can it be that what was created so like to | God’s creation can be so opposite to it? How can memory so deceive |
C:9.33 | God’s will for you is happiness, and never has it been otherwise. | |
C:9.33 | God’s will for you is happiness, and never has it been otherwise. | God’s creation is for eternity and has no use for time. Time too is |
C:10.9 | until you realize that all are good and that you cannot earn more of | God’s good graces than your brother. You will stay until you realize |
C:11.8 | “God given” right of independence, that which allowed you to leave | God’s side the way a child reaching the age of adulthood has the |
C:11.9 | body, it is easier to accept that your banishment from paradise was | God’s decision, not your own. You think you can be grateful to Him |
C:11.10 | the true god of the separated self. You think at times that this was | God’s mistake, the one weakness in His plan, and one that you would |
C:11.10 | one that you would use. At other times you think that this was but | God’s curse on you, a thing to tempt you to the life of desperation |
C:12.6 | God’s will for you is happiness, and of this you can be certain. To | |
C:12.6 | happiness, and of this you can be certain. To align your will with | God’s is but to make this certain state your home. This is but a wish |

C:12.13 | once upon a time there walked upon the earth those who did reveal | God’s image, and that when they ceased to be seen here God’s image |
C:12.13 | did reveal God’s image, and that when they ceased to be seen here | God’s image was lost to earth forever? Could even one have come and |
C:12.15 | Course is saying is that at some point that does not exist in time, | God’s son made the choice for separation. Whether God’s son had one |
C:12.15 | not exist in time, God’s son made the choice for separation. Whether | God’s son had one form or many at that time matters not, for one form |
C:12.15 | not, for one form or many, there was still one mind, the mind of | God’s son joined in unity with that of his Father. Many of you have |
C:12.19 | this is what occurred: An idea of separation entered the mind of | God’s son. Like any idea of yours, this idea did not leave its Source |
C:12.25 | Now, carry this pattern forward, for the pattern of | God’s extension is the pattern of creation and thus the pattern of |

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

C:26.23 | Can you not see that you were birthed into a place in the pattern of | God’s creation? Or that you not only can know but have always known |
C:26.25 | As a being birthed by a thought of God, you grew simultaneously with | God’s thought. You knew your place in the pattern of creation from |
C:27.16 | as you pray whether you should pray for specific outcomes or for | God’s Will to be done. You fear being a miracle worker because you do |
C:29.12 | It is extremely important for you to realize that | God’s work takes place outside of time, as do all acts of true |
C:30.13 | 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 image given form, |
C:30.13 | form was made in God’s own image, as was all creation. You are | God’s image given form, as is all creation. We, all of us together, |
C:30.14 | The laws of unity are | God’s laws and are simple indeed: giving and receiving are one. And |
C:30.14 | one. And thus giving and receiving as one is the only way in which | God’s laws are fulfilled. Since God’s laws are the laws that rule the |
C:30.14 | as one is the only way in which God’s laws are fulfilled. Since | God’s laws are the laws that rule the universe, they cannot go |
C:30.14 | cannot go unfulfilled. Giving and receiving are thus one in truth. | God’s laws are generalizable and do not change, and thus the laws of |
T1:8.2 | God. Thus too have you been. God is the giver of life, thus life is | God’s Will. But with my resurrection, which was accomplished for all, |
T1:10.14 | matter what words you use to describe it, is your answer to God and | God’s answer to you. Peace is the inheritance I left you. Peace of |
T3:5.6 | of the time, a question still much in evidence, was how mighty could | God’s love be if it were given to a people who suffered. The answer |
T3:5.6 | be if it were given to a people who suffered. The answer was that | God’s love was so mighty that he would even allow the death of his |
T3:5.7 | purpose. Without there having been an original purpose worthy of | God’s son, the crucifixion would have ended life in form and returned |
T3:7.1 | of beliefs in “A Treatise on Unity,” to speaking here of ideas. | God’s thought of you is an idea of absolute truth. Your existence |
T3:7.2 | you can see where the power of thought is your power as well as | God’s. |
T3:8.7 | of Love, the idea of suffering is what has gone so wrong within | God’s creation. As was said in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought,” |
T3:12.7 | state you have not even dared to dream of is a state in which only | God’s laws of love exist even within the realm of physicality. What |
T3:22.14 | now is the Will of God because it is your true desire, your will and | God’s joined as one. |
T4:1.18 | You have completed | God’s act of choosing you by choosing God. This is all the chosen |
T4:5.2 | This could as easily be stated as your being a Song of God. You are | God’s harmony, God’s expression, God’s melody. You, and all that |

T4:5.2 | your being a Song of God. You are God’s harmony, God’s expression, | God’s melody. You, and all that exist with you, form the orchestra |
T4:6.7 | In each moment, what is, while still existing in the one truth of | God’s law of love, can find many expressions. You can exist in |
T4:8.1 | Creation’s response was the universe, which is an expression of | God’s love, an expression of God’s choice, a representation of God’s |
T4:8.1 | the universe, which is an expression of God’s love, an expression of | God’s choice, a representation of God’s intent. |

T4:8.6 | Each expression of | God’s love, being of God, continued to express love through |

D:Day32.18 | God’s oneness of being be the consciousness we all share? Could not | God’s relationship to everything be what differentiates God from us |
D:Day32.19 | different and the same? Would this answer your questions concerning | God’s great power when compared to your own? Could you see that God’s |
D:Day32.19 | God’s great power when compared to your own? Could you see that | God’s power stems from His relationship to everything rather than |
D:Day32.20 | the being and the relationship. You are capable of all the power of | God’s being but you are powerful only as God is powerful—in |
D:Day35.5 | you have been aware of God. Your awareness of Self is God. | God’s awareness of you is Self. This awareness exists in reciprocal |
D:Day36.10 | with all and nothing, there was no difference between your being and | God’s being without relationship. You could conceive of self and God |

C:P.19 | What are | good intentions but a choice to do what you can, alone, by yourself, |
C:P.19 | do what you can, alone, by yourself, against great odds? This is why | good intentions so often fail to come to be at all, and why, when |
C:P.19 | cannot earn your way to heaven or to God with your effort or your | good intentions. You cannot earn, and will not ever feel as if you |
C:P.20 | You have decided that you know how to do | good works but that you do not know how to do what God asks of you. |
C:P.20 | with God and all your brothers and sisters. You prefer to think a | good deed here, a bit of charity there, is more important. You prefer |
C:P.20 | abolish ego and to please God. This is not unlike the attitude of a | good mother who decides to sacrifice herself for her children, |
C:P.21 | Your | good intentions neither please nor displease God. God simply waits |
C:P.22 | self can be as damaging as the selflessness of those intent on doing | good works. Rather than leading to knowledge of God, prolonged |
C:P.26 | where unconditional love is seen as acceptable. Thus, no matter how | good one child is perceived to be and how bad another is perceived to |
C:4.12 | Love is not being nice when you are feeling surly. Love is not doing | good deeds of charity and service. Love is not throwing logic to the |
C:4.12 | that unconditional love is great, but must it not be tempered by | good judgment? And surely that ability to guide others must be earned |
C:4.15 | of stature and of wealth, of physical beauty and the trappings of | good upbringing. Those most insecure will believe in a partner who |
C:4.15 | never wavering. Another who prizes independence seeks a partner in | good health, not too demanding, a companion and a lover who will be |
C:5.11 | nor understand that the urges that you feel are real, and neither | good nor bad. Your feelings in truth come from love, your response to |
C:6.8 | see here but points to this truth. Evil is only seen in relation to | good. Chaos is only seen in relation to peace. While you see these as |
C:6.8 | What is separate from peace is chaos. What is separate from | good is evil. What is separate from the truth is insane. Since you |
C:6.16 | it not? The Bible says, “The sun shines and the rain falls on the | good and evil alike.” Why then do you think that peace is endless |
C:8.19 | as the Holy Instant. You may not think observation of your body is a | good way to achieve this, but as you observe you learn to hold |
C:9.14 | rest. It is the separated self that feels impelled to label feelings | good and bad, some worthy of acknowledgment and the rest worthy only |
C:10.9 | may linger long here. You will stay until you realize that all are | good and that you cannot earn more of God’s good graces than your |
C:10.9 | you realize that all are good and that you cannot earn more of God’s | good graces than your brother. You will stay until you realize that |

C:15.5 | comes your notions of success, your ideas of what is necessary to be | good, your notions of what it means to treat others well. You would |
C:16.4 | eyes of judgment. That you have judged and found the ones you love | good and worthy of your love makes not your judgment justified any |
C:16.10 | you can judge judgment itself. You deem yourself capable of making | good judgments and poor judgments, and you deem love as being capable |
C:16.25 | it and realize not how important it is for it to be reclaimed. As | good as you may want to be, you would still go meekly through your |
C:16.25 | to comply with rules of God and man with thought of some greater | good in mind. If everyone did what he or she wanted to do, you |

C:17.5 | There is an underlying assumption that you know all that is | good for you to know, and that to know more is going to mean that |

C:17.5 | you have defined it as lacking much of what you have judged to be | good in the world you now perceive. |
C:20.17 | nor of cold, heartless people who would as soon do you harm as | good. It is but the place of your interaction with all that lives |

T1:7.2 | accepts learning through contrast, that evil is seen in relation to | good, peace in relation to chaos, love in relation to fear. This |

T2:7.13 | the illusion that surrounds you. You cannot, in other words, be a | good person in a bad world. You cannot effect change without, without |
T2:7.15 | Giving is not only about choosing what | good and helpful parts of yourself you will share with the world. It |
T2:9.12 | which your needs are met creates a static level, that no matter how | good or right or meaningful, loses its creative nature by remaining |
T2:11.15 | is how the notion of Christ as savior arose. This is the belief in a | good self and a bad self with Christ acting as conscience and |
T2:11.15 | self and a bad self with Christ acting as conscience and defender of | good and the ego acting as devil and defender of evil. This is |
T2:11.15 | conflict that seems real to you within your world. This battle of | good and evil, while you believe in it still, will be demonstrated |
T2:11.16 | you may waste much time in perceived battles, valiantly fighting for | good to win out over evil. But this is not the new way and the lack |
T3:2.9 | There is no right or wrong in art, and there is no right or wrong, no | good or bad in regards to the self but only accurate or inaccurate |
T3:3.2 | source has still been the ego. These traits, whether you see them as | good or bad or somewhere in between are what you have seen as making |
T3:3.3 | trying. Most of you fall somewhere in between, living a life full of | good intentions and effort and being surprised neither by what seems |
T3:3.9 | or not, there is a part of you that still believes you are not | good enough to be the “good” self you believe this Course calls you |
T3:3.9 | always and eventually calls you back to the idea that you are not | good enough or that you do not want to put the effort into being good |
T3:3.9 | not good enough or that you do not want to put the effort into being | good enough. Like a person who believes she has a weight problem and |
T3:3.10 | idea of who you were. This idea was a complex set of judgments, of | good and bad, right and wrong, worthy and unworthy, a list as endless |
T3:4.1 | you were once bad but that by following these tenets you can become | good. It gives no credence and no blame to any past cause for your |
T3:6.3 | Reward is intricately tied to your notions of being | good, performing deeds of merit, and taking care of, or surviving, |
T3:8.5 | and believe that choices for suffering were made for some greater | good or to repay debts of the past. The only choice that has been |
T3:14.5 | I am, however, the bringer of | Good News. Now I will repeat to you a piece of good news you may have |
T3:14.5 | the bringer of Good News. Now I will repeat to you a piece of | good news you may have forgotten: You would not be other than who you |
T3:15.11 | Thus, truth, like love, is not something that you can learn. The | Good News is that you have no need to learn the truth. The truth |
T3:16.14 | from your old idea of special relationships. All of your plans to do | good and be good, to help others, and to struggle to make the world a |
T3:16.14 | idea of special relationships. All of your plans to do good and be | good, to help others, and to struggle to make the world a better |
T3:20.10 | as do “bad.” I am not calling you to just another version of being | good or mentally healthy, to exercises in visualization or positive |
T3:21.24 | you or who speak more eloquently or who are better examples of a | good and saintly life are those who will lead the way for others to |
T3:22.12 | words, thought that this creative tension would not necessarily be a | good thing to give up. You do not know how to reach beyond what was |
T4:1.20 | learning through contrast—provided contrast through dissent. The | good in which one believed became the evil that another fought and in |
T4:1.20 | the truth by seeing what you have perceived as the contrast between | good and evil. |
T4:1.23 | to have once been so clearly able to see the contrast between | good and evil and feel now as if these distinctions have become more |
T4:2.8 | you continue to believe that a final judgment will separate the | good from the evil, you are carrying judgment. |
T4:2.29 | To see without judgment is to see truly. You need not look for | good or bad, but only need be steadily aware that you can only see in |
T4:3.8 | you will make one final judgment in which you find everything to be | good and full of love. Once all has been judged with the vision of |
T4:5.12 | about this now and you will see that it is true. You hoped to live a | good life and at the end of that life to know God. Your vision of the |
T4:7.7 | the lesson that it has come to impart to you, will return you to | good health. Your poor health is no cause for judgment, as it is the |
T4:12.13 | Is this not a | good example of the learned wisdom that needs to be left behind? But |
D:2.17 | The justice system is a | good example, an example of a system which you believe works most of |
D:2.17 | is foolproof, and still be willing to accept the bad with the | good; but you would freely admit that your belief in any system |
D:3.6 | you learned through contrast. You learned from the contrast of | good and evil, weak and strong, right and wrong. You learned from the |
D:6.18 | been taught that if you take care of the body in certain ways, then | good health will result. You have been taught that if your body |
D:11.12 | of the world you have always known. No explanation will ever be | good enough for those who set limits upon the truth. But for those |
D:15.17 | most often as keeping what you have, and as keeping what you have in | good repair. It is not often thought of as a lasting measure, which |
D:Day3.17 | of inheritance, in the case of those “born” to money. Thus this is a | good place to start, since inheritance is that of which we speak. |

D:Day3.36 | Learning is no longer the way for | good reason. It exemplifies the difference between information and |
D:Day3.50 | hopeful period and it, too, is not without value. You may have many | good and even inspired ideas within this time. You may feel as if you |
D:Day3.54 | before it can be brought into form, expressed, and shared. What | good would it do you to say “if I had talent,” I would accept and |
D:Day4.25 | the true from the false. But blaming yourself does no more | good than blaming others, for without the dismantling of the |
D:Day4.50 | focus on acceptance of one thing over another. You are not to label | good or bad. Just to accept. Accept all. You do not have to hesitate |
D:Day8.4 | truly. Only when you have accepted how you feel do you quit labeling | good or bad; only then can you deal with anything from a place of |
D:Day9.5 | together for the elevation of the self of form to take place. What | good will be the certainty of unity if the self of form has no |
D:Day9.10 | have come from? It may have come from your ideas of right and wrong, | good and bad. It may have its source in your religious beliefs. It |
D:Day9.12 | process of learning. It arose from the learning of right from wrong, | good from bad. It arose from the learning of moral and religious |
D:Day9.15 | As with all messages of the ego, it but says that who you are is not | good enough. |
D:Day10.7 | each of you have had intuitive moments. You may have felt, for no | good reason, as if you shouldn’t do something you were about to do. |
D:Day10.27 | being peaceful and free of the constraints of the body. This is as | good an idea as I can give you of how to imagine the elevated Self of |
D:Day10.29 | and of their acting upon those feelings by championing the cause of | good over that of evil or of the powerless over the powerful? Isn’t |
D:Day39.38 | is the tension of opposites. It is time and eternity. Love and hate. | Good and evil. In other words, All and Nothing. It is the tension of |

goodness (7) |

C:10.9 | merely at the beginning of the curriculum. To want a reward for | goodness, for trying harder, for being closer to God than your |
C:10.13 | bring you comfort or do you no harm. What if you believe in the | goodness of your neighbor and that belief is unwarranted? What if you |
C:11.9 | will judge you and determine if you should be rewarded for a life of | goodness or punished for a life of evil. He might accept you back, |
T3:3.9 | While you continue to see the call of this Course as a call to | goodness, you will surely fail. |
T3:4.3 | Ideas are the foundation of the self. You cannot have an idea of | goodness without having an idea of evil. You cannot have an idea of |
D:3.6 | conditions of learning. This does not mean, however, that you accept | goodness and deny evil or even that you accept love and deny fear. |

C:20.40 | who believe they have “less” fall victim to envy. Both “fall” from | grace and limit their ability to receive. No gifts are received when |
C:25.10 | and sisters are here in a state of reprisal, having fallen from | grace, then all action will be out of harmony. If you believe you and |

C:27.20 | How will you know when you have achieved the state of | grace in which you were created, and that you are living in |

T1:9.12 | As the ego has become threatened and allowed the coming of | guidance, males and females both have begun to work with the parts of |
T3:20.5 | as so often is the case, by looking at observation under the | guidance of the ego-thought system and thus seeing the errors of the |
