D:Day16.15 | your world, which slowly grew from a world primarily made up of | paradise and love, to a world primarily made up of hell and fear |
D:Day16.15 | primarily made up of hell and fear because as more was expelled from | paradise, more was perceived as hellish or fearful. Less of love was |

C:5.22 | within your world, a solution that requires no exertion on your | part, is seen to be of little value. The individual, you reason, is |
C:5.30 | and thus fear of God. You can accept terror that reigns in another | part of the world because you feel no relationship to it. It is only |
C:5.32 | of darkness. A day in which the sun shone on your world and you felt | part of everything. Every tree and every flower welcomed you. Every |
C:6.20 | it pass from one mind to the next as stories often will. It is but | part of your awareness of who you are, an awareness you would deny in |
C:8.4 | of remembering who you really are. It comes forth from the deepest | part of you, from the center in which you are joined with Christ. It |
C:8.11 | all your seeking will not reveal the truth. And while there is a | part of you that knows this, you prefer instead of union a game of |
C:9.38 | be achieved. You speak of balance, and try to find something for one | part of yourself in one place and something for another somewhere |
C:10.3 | You cannot abandon one tenet and retain another because by retaining | part you retain all. This will lead to seeming failure to learn what |
C:10.26 | You may laugh at yourself for taking | part in this silly experiment, but you will realize the desire to |
C:10.27 | more aware of your surroundings, and more aware that your body is | part of everything that is happening. There is your body and six more |
C:10.27 | of all the “others” traveling it with you. You will feel more a | part of everything rather than less, and be surprised by this feeling. |

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

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

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

D:3.16 | As the Self, you are giver and receiver. Your Self is a full | participant in this dialogue. You as the Self are the truth. You as |
D:Day8.14 | may know that you dislike gossip only because you have been both a | participant and a victim of it. It may still call up feelings of |
D:Day10.24 | a monologue, but we are having a dialogue in which you are a full | participant. As much of what you read in these dialogues comes from |
A.42 | You are not a “student” of The Dialogues but a full | participant in The Dialogues. You have entered the final stages of |
participate (6) |
||
C:12.21 | ability to be more than what it was, except for as the son chose to | participate in it. |
T4:12.4 | dialogue will, however, be ongoing, and this is your invitation to | participate in this dialogue. No matter where you are, no matter what |
D:14.4 | your invulnerability in order to be a real explorer, and to fully | participate in the discovery that lies beyond the body and mind, form |
D:Day8.9 | taking place in a present moment situation, will enable you not to | participate, judge, or appear to accept that which you do not truly |
D:Day18.1 | to anchoring the new within the web of reality. Still others will | participate in both, following their innate desire to facilitate the |
D:Day29.1 | be separate. Remember that you have already realized the ability to | participate in two levels of experience simultaneously and that |
participated (2) |
||
C:18.14 | now is a choice of participation. In unity, all that you desired was | participated in fully by a mind and heart combined in |
D:7.21 | Evolution is the time-bound way in which the body has | participated in creation. This is why you have been told that you are |
participating (7) |

C:8.18 | Now that you are standing back from your body, | participating in this experiment to recognize the surface element of |
C:10.31 | will find yourself, at times that seem to be “against your will,” | participating in it despite your determination not to do so. Once you |
C:12.19 | vacation when brought to fruition might reshape the life of the one | participating in it, it would not change who that person was, or who |
D:6.1 | so that you would not forget the purpose of the learning you were | participating in. Eventually your learning reached an end point as |
D:6.27 | true Self is fully aware of the elevated Self of form and is fully | participating in its experiences and feelings. The elevated Self of |
D:Day27.9 | The two levels of experience which you have been | participating in are the joint cornerstones for the biggest |
D:Day27.14 | This is what we move toward as we practice | participating in two levels of experience simultaneously. We practice |
participation (9) |

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

C:P.39 | are able to see yourself—as man or woman, as a being existing in a | particular time in history. This one- or at best three-dimensional |
C:P.39 | If you cannot see yourself “other than” as man or woman living in a | particular place in a particular time, you cannot see your Self. Thus |
C:P.39 | “other than” as man or woman living in a particular place in a | particular time, you cannot see your Self. Thus Jesus comes to you |
C:1.12 | to us in several ways. By this I do not mean that there are not | particular objects of your affection. This is not the love of which |
C:3.1 | alive nor dead. And thus it always was and always will be. It is not | particular to you as human beings. It is in relationship to |
C:8.18 | existence, you are perhaps more aware than ever before of being in a | particular place and time. As you stand back and observe your body, |
C:14.30 | In your world love has no meaning unless it is attached to a | particular thing. And as soon as love is attached to a particular, |
C:14.30 | attached to a particular thing. And as soon as love is attached to a | particular, love’s opposite is brought into existence. While you |
C:21.2 | grasp its meaning or the meaning of eternity. This is because, as a | particular being, you are time-bound. You can realize the eternal |
C:21.2 | form. Your being is far beyond your imagined reliance on the | particular. The particular is about parts and parts are all you see. |
C:21.2 | being is far beyond your imagined reliance on the particular. The | particular is about parts and parts are all you see. I remind you of |

C:22.8 | to have no function or purpose are deemed meaningless. The act of | passing through is, of itself, seen as of little consequence. |
C:22.9 | Yet it is the | passing through that creates the intersection. Everything within your |

C:22.10 | to pass through layers with a seeming lack of purpose for the | passing through. |
C:22.13 | that these things have not passed through you and in the act of | passing through formed a relationship and a partnership with you. |
C:22.14 | While | passing through would seem to imply an entry and exit point, the |
C:22.14 | developed during the pass-through continues. Just as wind or water | passing through an entry and exit point has an impact and a motion, |
C:22.20 | Begin to imagine life | passing through you rather than getting stopped for examination at |
T1:3.11 | and one you can pass or fail. And what’s more, not only would your | passing of this test require you to contemplate your power, but your |
T2:13.5 | in which you exist here and remain forever beyond all time and the | passing of all form. It is an attitude of praise and thankfulness |
T3:5.8 | not what you have taken it to mean, an endless series of generations | passing. What this means is that in each the ego will die and the |
T3:12.11 | creation but there are stages of growth and change. Humankind is now | passing through a tremendous stage of growth and change. Are you |
T4:4.4 | the state of over-population, this idea was much in evidence. The | passing of a parent was seen, particularly historically, as the time |
T4:4.5 | times. Inherent within the idea of inheritance was an idea of | passing as well as an idea of continuity. What belonged to the Father |

D:15.12 | Expression, movement, and being are about what is eternal | passing through what is temporal. Thus I return you to the lesson on |
D:16.3 | what animated form with life did not remain. The belief that in the | passing through, a relationship did not form. But as can be easily |
D:17.5 | comes after the embrace of homecoming, and what comes before the | passing of desire and the reverence that replaces it. It acknowledges |
D:Day4.24 | What many forgot, after the | passing of the first of my disciples, was that they had access to |
D:Day5.21 | point of access lies, imagine now the needle that was discussed as | passing through the onion in the Course chapter “The Intersection,” |
D:Day19.14 | The truth of this way is not discovered through the | passing on of knowledge in form but through relationship. Those |

C:4.8 | the need to keep, the grasping call, the driving force, the chosen | passion—all these things that you have made to replace what you |
C:4.14 | of the young, and the daydream of the aging. It is synonymous with | passion and an overflow of feelings that defy all common sense. To be |
passionate (2) |

T4:8.9 | to be more and more, faster and faster—each being’s yearning, | passionate, excessive drive to fulfill its purpose, like a drive to |

C:2.15 | Look not to figures from the | past to show you the way beyond illusions to the present. Look within |
C:8.22 | Although you cannot observe it, you will become aware of how the | past walks through your days with you, and the future too. Both are |
C:8.23 | Where lives this | past and future? Where does day go when it is night? What are you to |
C:11.4 | fear of failing, and earnest attempts at trying hard have long been | past. Each exercise is but an idea, and ideas leave not their source. |
C:13.4 | or defined in the same way you have defined their bodies in the | past. |
C:13.12 | of others and yourself, for your memory will contain no hint of | past misdeeds, errors or mistakes. No one will have leveled any hurts |
C:16.6 | there is no cause for conflict. Judgment makes different. It looks | past what is the same and sees it not and sees instead what it is |
C:16.12 | the wrongs you would enumerate. True forgiveness simply looks | past illusion to the truth where there are no sins to be forgiven, no |
C:19.20 | it is the last such review that will be required before letting the | past go completely. All your previous attempts to go back have been |
C:19.21 | You need not go in search of it, and in truth, cannot, for the | past does not abide in you. What you need rather do is strive for a |
C:21.7 | meaning in different ways you will not find peace. You have, in the | past, accepted these different interpretations as natural. You see |
C:23.4 | side of the country, separated by distance, or previous choices, or | past hurts, and yet a relationship continues. |
C:23.12 | similar to those which you term induction and deduction. In the | past, exercises have most often begun with an alteration of beliefs |
C:25.16 | from love. Living from love is what will reverse the lessons of the | past. Reversing the lessons of the past is what will allow you to |
C:25.16 | will reverse the lessons of the past. Reversing the lessons of the | past is what will allow you to live in love in every instance. |
C:25.17 | and holding resentments. There are no “parts” of Self living in the | past or the future. There is not a “mindful” Self living separately |
C:25.24 | that are contrary to usual patterns of action you have taken in the | past, you will often meet resistance. Try to be lighthearted at such |
C:26.20 | stock answer. This is why all answers have disappointed you in the | past. Your answer is not the same as any other. No matter how filled |
C:27.14 | what “should” be happening rather than what is happening. It looks | past perception of “others” to relationship and wholeness. To live in |
C:27.18 | power that is not of this world? Will you see the future and the | past, be cognizant of destiny and of fate? You do have power that is |
C:27.19 | have lacked. The typical fears you have experienced in the | past will not arise within this knowing. |
C:29.3 | by your military service. You have no notion, as did people of the | past, of being of service to God. This is a symptom of the reign of |
C:29.26 | of giving and receiving. All your worry over the future and the | past is but a worry about the return of gifts given. What gift of |
C:29.26 | of gifts given. What gift of opportunity did you not accept in the | past, might you not recognize in the future? What gift of fortune, |
C:29.26 | truly realized, that all gifts come but once and are forever? The | past nor the future matter not. All is available in the here and now |
C:29.27 | exists, but in the present. Can you replace your attention to the | past and future with an attention to the present? |
C:30.4 | as an instruction that relates to time. You think of present time, | past time, future time. We have spoken of these modes of keeping time |
C:31.15 | from who you truly are. On the one hand, you think that you are your | past, your shame, your guilt; on the other that you are your future, |
C:31.26 | Your | past has nothing to do with the truth about who you are, except in |
T1:2.7 | Your only recourse to this situation in the | past was focus. You thus applied your thoughts to learning subjects |
T1:6.7 | next. Thus memory allows relationship. Memory, or how you relate to | past experiences, is what makes each individual unique. A family can |
T1:6.8 | So what happens when memories of | past experiences are revisited under the all-encompassing umbrella of |
T1:8.4 | come to you now to reveal the one truth that has existed for the | past two thousand years without your comprehension of it. The nature |
T1:9.15 | have placed your highest value and are thus most vulnerable. In the | past your response would have been to protect and use that which you |
T1:10.10 | sway over you that you would choose not the Peace of God. But look | past what you have remembered to what was truly there. No moment of |
T2:4.10 | of your thoughts and feelings. A second step is willingness to move | past both ambiguity and conflict to union. |
T2:4.12 | that peace to what you feel called to do. This is not about the | past and all those things that at one time or another you thought |
T2:5.3 | Such a call signals an end to learning from the lessons of the | past and a beginning of learning from the new. This Course itself is |
T2:5.6 | is not. They represent the remnants of learning from the | past, the final breaking of old patterns. They may seem to signal |
T3:1.11 | self has only existed as the self you presented to others in the | past is quite a different statement and has a totally different |
T3:1.11 | were” was a self who existed in time, a self who believed that the | past made up the self of the present and that the self of the present |
T3:1.11 | self of the future. The personal self you presented to others in the | past was a chosen self and never a whole self as evidenced by the |
T3:1.11 | variety of selves you saw yourself to be. The personal self of the | past was a self of roles, each one as learned as that which an actor |
T3:1.11 | in one role and a friend in another, than you did in defining a | past self, a present self and a future self. The greatest distinction |
T3:1.13 | undone. This is atonement. We work now to correct the errors of the | past in the present, the only place where such work can be done. We |
T3:3.5 | blame could be rightly placed. Your depression was blamed on the | past. Even your successes were often claimed to be at the expense of |
T3:4.1 | tenets you can become good. It gives no credence and no blame to any | past cause for your depression, anxiety, meanness, illness or |
T3:5.1 | to be feared. Yet it is this fear of emptiness that has, in the | past, made those who have experienced it rush to find the easiest and |
T3:5.3 | things you have brought to yourself for they have been the only way | past the ego’s guarded gate. |
T3:8.4 | comprised of the one identity you now hold or the identity of many | past lives, the identity you hold in this time and this place still |
T3:8.5 | a suffering for which you see no rationale. Those who believe in | past lives have also often adopted beliefs regarding choice and |
T3:8.5 | suffering were made for some greater good or to repay debts of the | past. The only choice that has been made is that of attachment to the |
T3:9.5 | of many who came before you but the time of such work, for you, is | past. Many remain to shake the walls of illusion. Few stand beyond it |
T3:10.6 | that all lessons are gifts. What you have struggled to learn in the | past you have struggled with only because you did not realize the |
T3:10.7 | Not one situation coming to you now will be a repeat of the | past. How can it be when the past was lived in the house of illusion |
T3:10.7 | to you now will be a repeat of the past. How can it be when the | past was lived in the house of illusion and the present is lived in |
T3:10.7 | realized. You have passed through your time of unlearning what the | past but seemed to teach you. Now, while life may seem much unchanged |
T3:10.10 | This feeling will remain only as long as you remember your | past uncertainty. Uncertainty, like all the rest of the ego’s thought |
T3:10.10 | Thus you are called, as well, to forget the uncertainty of the | past. |
T3:10.11 | of certainty. Realize that this is how you have learned in the | past and that all that is from the past is what you are being called |
T3:10.11 | is how you have learned in the past and that all that is from the | past is what you are being called to forget. Thus when uncertainty |
T3:10.11 | you need but remind yourself that the time for uncertainty is | past. Uncertainty will not now come to teach you lessons you have |
T3:10.11 | you have already learned but will only visit you as an echo from the | past. It is a habit, a pattern of the old thought system. All you |
T3:14.11 | choice to explore the why behind it or to look for remedies for the | past. The choice now is whether you want suffering to continue or |
T3:14.12 | are allowed to do so. A time-bound consciousness that hangs onto the | past as if it were the truth, allows not correction to take place. |
T3:14.12 | as if it were the truth, allows not correction to take place. The | past is no more and neither the present nor the future can be built |
T3:14.13 | must be total to be at all. Can you see why you cannot hang onto the | past? The new cannot have historical precedents. This is why you have |
T3:14.13 | to is a life so new that you cannot even imagine it. Imagine not the | past and make for yourself no cause to prolong it. The past is but a |
T3:14.13 | not the past and make for yourself no cause to prolong it. The | past is but a starting point for the future. Just as we talked of the |
T3:14.13 | of all that proceeds from the idea of blame, so too is it with the | past. Like a story yet to be written, that which follows the first |
T3:15.1 | relationship of marriage have had occasion to choose to forgive the | past and begin again to build a new relationship. Others, in a |
T3:15.1 | Others, in a similar relationship, might have chosen to let the | past go and enter into new relationships. Parents have welcomed home |
T3:15.3 | concerning the relationship, a set of criteria based upon the | past that is most often what prevents new beginnings from truly being |
T3:15.4 | are offered or considered “in spite of” circumstances of the | past that would seem to make them foolish. There is always some |
T3:15.4 | contingent upon whom they have represented themselves to be in the | past. |
T3:15.5 | can approach each day with faith while keeping fresh memories of | past abuse or humiliation in the hopes that they will discourage a |
T3:15.6 | Everyone believes they carry the baggage of the | past, not only their own but that of all the special relationships in |
T3:15.7 | up the idea that this core or center has been represented by the | past. You must forget the idea that the future cannot be different |
T3:15.7 | must forget the idea that the future cannot be different than the | past. |
T3:15.11 | learn the truth through the same methods that have been used in the | past to learn illusion. This Course teaches that love cannot be |
T3:15.14 | why you cannot approach this new beginning as you have those of the | past. What will assist you most, as the translation of the old |
T3:15.17 | still the same being that you have represented yourself to be in the | past, you will not be living by the truth but by illusion. |
T3:19.11 | form in a new way, you can still see that your actions of the | past represented who you believed yourself to be. Thus those |
T3:19.14 | Just think of how many saints and miracles you have heard of in the | past without being moved to believe that they mean anything at all |
T4:1.3 | that some are not chosen now and that many were not chosen in the | past. |
T4:1.13 | this excitement grow, your loyalty to your race, species, and the | past, hinders your excitement. If what you are beginning to believe |
T4:1.13 | you as failures? Has the seed of the future lain dormant in the | past? Could it have been activated hundreds or thousands of years |
T4:1.16 | come to live by the truth. It is in this way that the truth of the | past still lives and that the illusion of the past never was. |
T4:1.16 | that the truth of the past still lives and that the illusion of the | past never was. |
T4:1.23 | and more obscure. Some have yearned for a return to days not long | past, days during which distinctions between right and wrong did seem |
T4:2.14 | It is difficult for you, because of the patterns of the | past, to believe that you are chosen to be the pioneers into a new |
T4:2.15 | Your awareness of the Self that you are now was not present in the | past, but you can truly now, with the devotion of the observant, see |
T4:2.30 | to see bodies and events moving through your days as you have in the | past. And yet your vision has already changed, although you are not |
T4:6.7 | You can exist in Christ-consciousness, as have many others of the | past, and through your existence in Christ-consciousness, affect much |
T4:7.7 | is no cause for judgment, as it is the perfect health, now, in the | past, and in the future, to bring you the lessons you would learn in |
T4:8.4 | us dwell again, for just a moment before we let this dwelling in the | past go forever, on what has “gone wrong” with God’s expression of |
T4:8.17 | is fast approaching. Coming to know through learning will be of the | past as soon as Christ-consciousness is sustainable and you begin to |
T4:9.1 | comes to an end. It comes to an end here and now as we move | past study and learning to observation, vision, and revelation. |
T4:10.3 | the illness has come to bring you. You have learned anew from your | past. Learned from your dreams. Learned from art and music. In all of |
T4:10.3 | the learner. You may not have studied your problems, illness, your | past, your dreams, or art and music as you studied the lessons that |
T4:10.14 | who you are anew in unity and relationship. You can learn from the | past but not from the future. When you build upon what you can learn |
T4:10.14 | future. When you build upon what you can learn you build upon the | past and create not the future but an extension of the past. You who |
T4:10.14 | upon the past and create not the future but an extension of the | past. You who are called to leave learning behind are called to |
T4:12.10 | All you must remember now is that the time of learning is | past. While you are still encountering concerns and questions, you |
T4:12.11 | vigilant of, dear brothers and sisters, is the learned wisdom of the | past. Let me give you an example that relates to the state of |
T4:12.18 | Think and speak no more of the suffering of the | past. Spread the joyous news! Tell only joyous stories. Advance the |
T4:12.18 | allow for all the creativity you have put into challenges of the | past but without the struggle. Let not the idea of struggle take hold |
T4:12.26 | a foreign land with none of the ways you learned how to adapt in the | past being of service to you. That is how new this is—and more. But |
T4:12.32 | the future, the time of the creation of a future not based upon the | past. |
D:2.10 | the modes of learning, even when they seemed to work for you in the | past. That they seemed to work is the illusion that will give way as |
D:3.2 | It is not a death knell but a call to life. It is not of the | past or the future but of the eternal now. It is within you as we |
D:5.18 | of your mind and the thoughts that so confuse you, the prison of | past and future and a now that isn’t changing fast enough to suit the |
D:6.21 | as that of blaming a friend for your hurt feelings, or blaming the | past for the present. And yet, what ridding your mind of ideas of |
D:8.10 | of the Self. Thus where you have desired to express yourself in the | past is very likely linked to the natural ability or talent you did |
D:12.15 | as soon as the truth came into your mind, how seldom in the | past you have been sure of anything. You may have been amazed at this |
D:13.7 | overly concern you as it will not affect you as it did those of the | past because you are living in the time of Christ, a time when no |
D:14.2 | the Self is far more than you have experienced as yourself in the | past. |
D:Day2.10 | wish that you had acted differently? Can you see a way to change the | past or to “make up for” what occurred in the past? |
D:Day2.10 | a way to change the past or to “make up for” what occurred in the | past? |
D:Day3.19 | you will not feel this, and if you are among those few, do not skip | past this dialogue, but join in so that you understand, as do those |
D:Day3.49 | now, as opposed to your idea of the wrong-actions of the | past, in order to bring money or abundance flowing to you. All that |
D:Day4.21 | in the here and now, but to an inaccurate world-view of the | past, of the hereafter, of me, and of God. Not only has your mind |
D:Day7.20 | present. Realize you may say you are certain of the future or the | past but that you cannot make it so. Thus your ability to maintain |
D:Day8.16 | consistent with the term or word certainty as it was used in the | past, but you will not want to confuse the term and the condition. |
D:Day8.17 | of a personal self who had not yet unlearned the lessons of the | past or taken these steps toward elevation. Now, however, it is |
D:Day8.21 | They will no longer be the source of the misdirection of the | past if you accept your feelings in present time and begin to be |
D:Day8.26 | keep your true Self hidden. You are used to hiding the self of the | past about whom you are not well pleased, and you are used to hiding |
D:Day9.1 | of freedom you have experienced there. I am your refuge from the | past, your gate of entry to the present. You have fled the foreign |
D:Day9.32 | now only because of the consistency with which you did so in the | past. In the past you moved quickly from one learning challenge to |
D:Day9.32 | because of the consistency with which you did so in the past. In the | past you moved quickly from one learning challenge to another. You |
D:Day10.13 | This is because your image of the personal self is based on the | past and the feelings of the past. This is also because your image of |
D:Day10.13 | of the personal self is based on the past and the feelings of the | past. This is also because your image of the personal self is a |
D:Day10.14 | Because you believe that your feelings have misled you in the | past, you now still doubt your feelings. Because you have doubted |
D:Day10.14 | still doubt your feelings. Because you have doubted yourself in the | past, you now still look for reassurances and proof that you are |
D:Day11.2 | Sharing in unity and relationship is the way and the means to see | past the world of illusion to the truth of the union of form and |
D:Day16.6 | by no escape. No escape does not mean that anyone is bound to the | past and to their former pain but that each is still bound to, and |
D:Day16.9 | acceptance can occur. There is no “going back” or reliving of the | past required. There is also no escape, however, because in |
D:Day28.15 | two attitudes, but will find that one is prevalent. You must now get | past all such notions or attitudes. |
D:Day39.16 | Let me tell you what has occurred in the | past so that you know not to respond to love in the same way again. |
A.18 | giving up reliance on what they but think has worked for them in the | past. |

A.34 | The achievements of the | past, achievements that awarded credentials, certificates and |
A.34 | and degrees, admiration, respect, and status, are now a thing of the | past. What individuals may well be looking for is their reward for |

T4:2.22 | God, or the possibility that your life is a direct experience of the | pattern of unity or oneness that is creation. |
T4:2.23 | Think of this denial now, for it is still evident in the | pattern of your thinking. We have spoken of this within the text of A |
T4:3.2 | to do with what cannot be elevated. Vision has to do with the divine | pattern, the unity that binds all living things. Observation is the |

T4:4.1 | Everywhere within your world you see the | pattern of life-everlasting. Where there is a pattern of |

T4:4.2 | was a day of rest spoken of. Creation balanced with rest is the | pattern that has been taken to extremes within your world. You think |
T4:4.7 | creation. Like begets like. Life begets life. Thus is revealed the | pattern of life-everlasting. |
T4:4.8 | Changing form is part of the | pattern of life-everlasting. The change in the form you now occupy, |

T4:8.11 | you rebelled against God’s original design, the design that is the | pattern of creation. Yet your rebellion was not with God, although |

T4:12.21 | you share in unity with God. You will be the co-creator of the new | pattern of consciousness that is sharing in unity and relationship, |
T4:12.21 | in unity and relationship, as you were once the co-creator of the | pattern of consciousness that was learning. |
T4:12.24 | You now exist within a shared consciousness. The | pattern of a shared consciousness is one of sharing in unity and |
T4:12.24 | is one of sharing in unity and relationship. There is no | pattern within it for learning (which is individual), for individual |
T4:12.27 | and what we are speaking of when we talk of patterns. There was a | pattern to the process of learning that was shared by all learners |
T4:12.27 | inherent to your natures. The means were different for each, but the | pattern was the same. There was an overall design that ensured |
T4:12.27 | ensured optimal learning and that design was known to you in the | pattern of that design, a pattern that was part of the pattern of |
T4:12.27 | and that design was known to you in the pattern of that design, a | pattern that was part of the pattern of your thoughts, even after the |

T4:12.27 | even after the ego came to rule your thought system. Without this | pattern, the ego could have succeeded in becoming the ruler of the |
T4:12.27 | in becoming the ruler of the personal self. Part of this design and | pattern was the freedom of free will. |
T4:12.28 | Free will continues in the | pattern of Christ-consciousness. Love continues. The individual or |
T4:12.28 | appropriate to the time of learning does not continue. Thus the new | pattern is one of creation in relationship and unity rather than |
T4:12.33 | and space no longer separate us, and the creation of the design or | pattern that reveals our lack of separation is part of the creation |
D:1.3 | the personal self. As long as you “see” such visions, you “see” the | pattern of the personal self going forth much as it did before. You |
D:1.15 | not accept what you “know” to be the truth is a continuation of the | pattern of insanity that must be replaced with a pattern of sanity. |

D:2.4 | Patterns are both learned systems and systems of design. The | pattern of learning was a pattern of divine design, created in unity |
D:2.4 | learned systems and systems of design. The pattern of learning was a | pattern of divine design, created in unity and cooperation to enable |
D:2.4 | created in unity and cooperation to enable the return to unity. This | pattern has achieved its desired end and so is no longer needed nor |
D:2.4 | end and so is no longer needed nor appropriate. While it was once a | pattern whose design was perfect for the desired end, continuation of |
D:2.4 | whose design was perfect for the desired end, continuation of this | pattern will but interfere with your full acceptance of who you are |
D:2.5 | An example of a | pattern whose design was perfect for the desired end is that of |
D:2.11 | If you will examine this | pattern of what you have believed “works for you,” you will find that |
D:2.11 | “works for you,” you will find that you believe that each and every | pattern will work in one instance and not in another and that you |
D:2.11 | or outcome in one instance would tend to be seen as a “successful | pattern,” and would be repeated until such a time as the pattern |
D:2.11 | “successful pattern,” and would be repeated until such a time as the | pattern failed to achieve the successful grade or outcome in another |
D:2.12 | concept of trial and error. No sure results are counted on. When a | pattern of thought or behavior has been found to work in more cases |
D:2.12 | in more cases than not, it is clung to as a “sure thing”—a proven | pattern or way. |
D:2.14 | desired outcomes. Either way, control is seen as a powerful | pattern. |
D:2.18 | system that is not foolproof is based on a faulty design, a faulty | pattern. Your misperceptions of the world have allowed for the |
D:2.19 | to deal fairly with a hostile environment and then to develop a | pattern based on what was learned so that learning would not need to |
D:2.20 | just tell me what that new way is!” You would say, “Teach me the new | pattern and I will put it into effect.” |
D:2.21 | What this points out is a | pattern in itself. It is a pattern of reaction rather than cause. It |
D:2.21 | What this points out is a pattern in itself. It is a | pattern of reaction rather than cause. It is a pattern of looking |
D:2.21 | in itself. It is a pattern of reaction rather than cause. It is a | pattern of looking without and wondering what to do about what you |
D:2.21 | without and wondering what to do about what you see rather than a | pattern of changing what you see by looking within. |
D:4.12 | to the stem of a plant to the workings of the human brain, a divine | pattern is evident and should not be beyond your belief. Despite the |
D:4.12 | in what you see, think, and feel, there is but one external divine | pattern that created the observable world, and only one internal |
D:4.12 | that created the observable world, and only one internal divine | pattern that created the internal world. The internal divine pattern |
D:4.12 | divine pattern that created the internal world. The internal divine | pattern was that of learning. |

D:4.13 | working together to create a pattern of acceptance to replace the | pattern of learning. |
D:4.14 | In such a way of thinking, one would take the internal thought | pattern, enhance it with the external pattern, and by seeing the |

D:4.15 | the truth. Some of these systems of thought were part of the divine | pattern. Contrast is one such system. As a learning being, you |
D:4.16 | Other systems of thought were not part of the divine | pattern. The ego is one such system. It may seem peculiar to think of |
D:4.16 | falsely believed to be yourself. From this one externalized thought | pattern came most of your false ideas, ideas that made it difficult |
D:4.18 | has been freed. Let us simply create a new structure around the new | pattern of acceptance, a structure that will provide you with the |
D:4.24 | “act” of acceptance rather than learning. Turn to this as the new | pattern and to the thought system of giving and receiving as one. Let |
D:5.5 | example that illustrates how one aspect of what was created in the | pattern of learning, while not being seen in the way it was intended, |
D:6.14 | new. For in this time of revelation, discovery is the new divine | pattern that will replace the “thought” systems we have spoken of. To |
D:6.24 | We have talked of but one replacement for the | pattern of learning—the pattern of acceptance. What might the body |
D:6.24 | have talked of but one replacement for the pattern of learning—the | pattern of acceptance. What might the body be called to accept? This |
D:7.15 | to be ready to accept revelation works hand in hand with the new | pattern of discovery, but discovery is less time bound. Let me |
D:9.4 | now, when you have learned all that you are in need of learning, the | pattern, even of your wholeheartedness, remains one of thought. This |
D:9.4 | pattern, even of your wholeheartedness, remains one of thought. This | pattern is what the new patterns of acceptance and discovery that we |
D:9.5 | Thought is a practice and a | pattern of the separated and thus learning self. When it was said |
D:10.1 | ways of knowing that come to you, and through you, outside of the | pattern of learning. |
D:10.7 | always existed. When put into practice and allowed to replace the | pattern of learning, this way of discovery will be a constant coming |
D:12.11 | The first is that thinking, with or without the ego, is a | pattern of the separated self and does not serve you. The way in |
D:12.11 | the ego ruled or may seem only minimally improved, but it is the | pattern, not the ego, that is still with you. The second point is |
D:17.13 | your wholeheartedness, as well as your desire, has moved beyond the | pattern of thought. |
D:Day2.3 | your mistakes and poor choices have been reconciled. You can see the | pattern of your life as clearly now as if a masterful biography had |
D:Day3.14 | you no longer think in such a way, they are there in the learned | pattern and you know this too. They are what prevent you from |
D:Day3.14 | unable to replace, in application, the false with the true, the | pattern of the false remains. |
D:Day3.24 | This is the way fears operate. They operate in the | pattern of the ego, a pattern that was learned, a pattern that was |
D:Day3.24 | is the way fears operate. They operate in the pattern of the ego, a | pattern that was learned, a pattern that was emphasized and |
D:Day3.24 | operate in the pattern of the ego, a pattern that was learned, a | pattern that was emphasized and reemphasized through external events |
D:Day3.24 | until this attitude of wanting seemed impossible to unlearn. It is a | pattern of survival, but not of your survival. It is the pattern of |
D:Day3.24 | It is a pattern of survival, but not of your survival. It is the | pattern of the ego’s survival, and even though the ego is no longer |
D:Day3.24 | ego’s survival, and even though the ego is no longer with you, the | pattern remains because what you learned, and the way in which you |
D:Day3.39 | learning through the mind because of your familiarity with the | pattern of learning through the mind, you can perhaps see why these |
D:Day4.5 | learning has not been a choice. Both as divine design and as a | pattern of the thought system of the ego, learning has been with you |
D:Day4.5 | design of the time of learning is being recreated, the ceaseless | pattern of learning remains. |
D:Day5.19 | to desire specifics. This is because you are still entrenched in the | pattern of learning, as your earnest effort to leave effort behind |
D:Day5.23 | to teach or learn “how to” heal must be thwarted, for if not, the | pattern of learning will remain. This is why there have always seemed |
D:Day7.5 | You must realize here that the | pattern of learning is now all that is left that can be degenerating |
D:Day7.5 | not one of support but one of effort. You must accept, now, that the | pattern of learning is an extension of fear and be willing and |
D:Day7.5 | extension of fear and be willing and vigilant in replacing it with a | pattern of acceptance. I say this because so many of you still do not |
D:Day8.21 | will prevent you from “reacting” to feelings out of your previous | pattern. |
D:Day9.32 | just completed a monumental learning challenge and so your natural | pattern would be to keep going now, to use the momentum of this |
D:Day9.33 | This | pattern will be easily replaced, however, as your acceptance of |
D:Day18.7 | The truth represented by Jesus and Mary was represented as a visual | pattern that would aide understanding of the invisible. This is what |
D:Day18.10 | The new visual | pattern is that of spirit resurrected in form. It is the ascension of |
D:Day18.10 | or elevation of the self of form. You are called to demonstrate this | pattern. The choice is to demonstrate this pattern through |
D:Day18.10 | to demonstrate this pattern. The choice is to demonstrate this | pattern through interaction with the world, or through incarnation |
D:Day18.11 | You are called to demonstrate this new visual | pattern. What is meant here by the word demonstrate, is to show your |
D:Day19.10 | are asked to become. This is an act of incarnation, and is a new | pattern, a pattern of what can be imagined being made real, not |
D:Day19.10 | to become. This is an act of incarnation, and is a new pattern, a | pattern of what can be imagined being made real, not through doing, |
D:Day19.13 | by holding open this door to creation. They, in truth, create a new | pattern and begin to weave it into the web of reality, anchoring it |
D:Day21.2 | This was true even within the | pattern of learning you have been so familiar with, for in order to |
D:Day21.6 | but made it seem as if some had more and others less. But even the | pattern of learning had as its outcome the sameness of teacher and |
D:Day25.4 | to come into the practice of letting the new come. It is in the new | pattern of stillness combined with non-resistance that the new will |
D:Day25.5 | thoughts. Let go your resistance to thoughts that seem of the old | pattern. That you know they are of the old pattern is enough. Let |

T2:4.15 | and ongoing is part of creation. Thus the very act of undoing old | patterns is an act of creation. As the old is undone, a vacuum is not |
T2:5.6 | the remnants of learning from the past, the final breaking of old | patterns. They may seem to signal difficult times, but they are times |
T2:7.10 | of this Course, but what will prevent you from following the | patterns of old as you go out into the world with your desire to |

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

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

T1:10.1 | Now let me address the issue of the | peace you have been experiencing as well as your reactions to this |
T1:10.1 | peace you have been experiencing as well as your reactions to this | peace. It is so foreign to each of you that you can’t quite imagine |
T1:10.1 | that it is what you are supposed to be feeling. There is a core of | peace at the center of your Self now and the issues that you choose |
T1:10.1 | the issues that you choose to deal with will not affect that core of | peace at all. While you may find this almost disturbing, you will not |
T1:10.1 | this almost disturbing, you will not go to extremes to break this | peace. |
T1:10.2 | My | peace is yours. You have asked for it and it has been given to you. |
T1:10.2 | alive. Whether it be joy or sorrow, it will seem real in a way that | peace does not. It will seem so human that a wave of desire to be |
T1:10.3 | you will be tempted not to give up. If you can’t be moved from your | peace by the greatest of these experiences, the most profound sorrow |
T1:10.4 | the human experience. This is what you continue to choose over the | Peace of God. This is not a right or wrong choice but it is a choice. |
T1:10.5 | the human experience. Now are you willing to use it to choose the | Peace of God instead? Can you wholeheartedly choose peace? Can you |
T1:10.5 | it to choose the Peace of God instead? Can you wholeheartedly choose | peace? Can you choose peace long enough to become accustomed to joy |
T1:10.5 | of God instead? Can you wholeheartedly choose peace? Can you choose | peace long enough to become accustomed to joy without sorrow? If you |
T1:10.6 | a lifetime. You can continue to experience life and still carry the | Peace of God within you. As you live in peace you can be an example |
T1:10.6 | life and still carry the Peace of God within you. As you live in | peace you can be an example to your brothers and sisters, an example |
T1:10.7 | up extremes? Yes. You are being asked to give up all that would take | peace from you. But as you have been told before, you will be giving |
T1:10.7 | not partake and you cannot partake if you are going to carry the | Peace of God within you. |
T1:10.8 | have been made to God not seeing suffering. God exists with you in | peace. When you feel peace, you feel the Peace of God. There is no |
T1:10.8 | not seeing suffering. God exists with you in peace. When you feel | peace, you feel the Peace of God. There is no other peace. There is |
T1:10.8 | God exists with you in peace. When you feel peace, you feel the | Peace of God. There is no other peace. There is no other God. Whether |
T1:10.8 | When you feel peace, you feel the Peace of God. There is no other | peace. There is no other God. Whether you believe it now or not, I |
T1:10.8 | God. Whether you believe it now or not, I assure you, within the | Peace of God is all the joy of what you have known as the human |
T1:10.10 | events that hold such sway over you that you would choose not the | Peace of God. But look past what you have remembered to what was |
T1:10.10 | was truly there. No moment of true learning ever arrived without the | Peace of God for without the Peace of God no true learning is |
T1:10.10 | true learning ever arrived without the Peace of God for without the | Peace of God no true learning is possible. |
T1:10.11 | you can look forward to rather than back upon if you but choose the | Peace of God. |
T1:10.12 | further lessons are needed? What quiet knowing cannot come to you in | peace? Why would you believe you can learn from the turmoil of |
T1:10.12 | you can learn from the turmoil of extremes what you cannot learn in | peace eternal? |
T1:10.13 | let the memory of the truth return to you now and you will see that | peace is all you have sought learning to attain. If you do not pause |
T1:10.13 | do not pause now and accept that it is here, you will not know the | Peace of God that is your own Self. |
T1:10.14 | Peace, in whatever way you find it, in whatever expression it takes, | |
T1:10.14 | use to describe it, is your answer to God and God’s answer to you. | Peace is the inheritance I left you. Peace of body, mind and heart. |
T1:10.14 | to God and God’s answer to you. Peace is the inheritance I left you. | Peace of body, mind and heart. Peace is the realm of miracles, the |
T1:10.14 | Peace is the inheritance I left you. Peace of body, mind and heart. | Peace is the realm of miracles, the condition of the wholehearted, |
T1:10.14 | the art of thought, the description of heaven, the abode of Christ. | Peace has come to you and you to Peace. |
T1:10.14 | of heaven, the abode of Christ. Peace has come to you and you to | Peace. |
T1:10.15 | Now your final instruction is here. You who have found | peace—live in peace. You have been given the Peace of God—go in |
T1:10.15 | your final instruction is here. You who have found peace—live in | peace. You have been given the Peace of God—go in Peace. Spread |
T1:10.15 | You who have found peace—live in peace. You have been given the | Peace of God—go in Peace. Spread peace throughout the land. Go out |
T1:10.15 | peace—live in peace. You have been given the Peace of God—go in | Peace. Spread peace throughout the land. Go out in peace and love and |
T1:10.15 | in peace. You have been given the Peace of God—go in Peace. Spread | peace throughout the land. Go out in peace and love and service to |
T1:10.15 | of God—go in Peace. Spread peace throughout the land. Go out in | peace and love and service to all. For in this going out you come |
T1:10.15 | and bring with you all the brothers and sisters you have brought to | peace. Go in peace to love and serve with all your heart. Thus are we |
T1:10.15 | you all the brothers and sisters you have brought to peace. Go in | peace to love and serve with all your heart. Thus are we one heart, |
T1:10.15 | one mind, one unity. Thus are we one in a relationship of love and | peace that is our eternal home. Welcome home my brothers and sisters |
T2:1.5 | you would soon return to your old ideas of heaven and see | peace as a state of being for those too weary to fully live. Done |
T2:1.6 | truly learned, is a state of being in which struggle has ceased and | peace has triumphed over chaos, love has triumphed over fear. |
T2:1.7 | You may still see but two choices: | peace or struggle. But with such an attitude, you would soon be |
T2:1.7 | with such an attitude, you would soon be struggling to maintain your | peace. There is another choice, and it lies within. |
T2:1.8 | may have come to be viewed as a place at which you can arrive. Like | peace, it may feel like a bubble of protection, something that sets |
T2:3.4 | your learning is capable of bringing to your life. You have felt the | peace and love of the embrace. You know that you are experiencing |
T2:4.9 | two sets of thoughts and feelings exist, the only way to come to | peace with them is through an acceptance of ambiguity. While an |
T2:4.12 | You who have so recently felt the | peace of true acceptance are not asked to leave that peace to go in |
T2:4.12 | felt the peace of true acceptance are not asked to leave that | peace to go in search of calling but are rather asked to listen from |
T2:4.12 | in search of calling but are rather asked to listen from within that | peace to what you feel called to do. This is not about the past and |
T2:7.8 | Is it not clear how important it is to living in | peace that this pattern be broken? Will you live in peace only until |
T2:7.8 | is to living in peace that this pattern be broken? Will you live in | peace only until some “other” breaks your peace? Only until some |
T2:7.8 | broken? Will you live in peace only until some “other” breaks your | peace? Only until some circumstance beyond your control brings an |
T2:11.4 | You are called to | peace, a peace that begins and ends with ceasing to do battle with |
T2:11.4 | You are called to peace, a | peace that begins and ends with ceasing to do battle with the ego. As |
T2:13.6 | once looked at life is of the ego. Drape your persona in a mantle of | peace and joy. Let who you are shine through the personal self who |
T3:11.2 | of the unity of all things with which the Self coexists in truth and | peace and love. |
T3:11.3 | These words, truth and | peace and love, are interchangeable in the House of Truth as their |
T3:11.6 | I was aware of the truth and lived by the truth. I was aware of the | Peace of God and lived within the Peace of God. I was aware of the |
T3:11.6 | by the truth. I was aware of the Peace of God and lived within the | Peace of God. I was aware of the Love of God and the Love of God |
T3:11.7 | do: Be aware that the love of God lives within you. Live within the | Peace of God. Live by the truth. |
T3:11.8 | This could be restated as you are love, you live in | peace, you live by or in accord with the truth. |
T3:11.9 | the Kingdom of God the House of Truth rather than the House of | Peace for a reason. What you are learning is no longer that the |
T3:12.10 | itself from within the House of Truth in ways consistent with | peace and love is the next step in creation, the rebirth of the Son |

T4:5.13 | If you have believed in any kind of afterlife at all, you have | perhaps thought of the afterlife as having two sides. Some have |

D:7.27 | a circle that can be drawn around where you exist so as to define, | perhaps, a mile of space and say that this is all you. No, the circle |

D:Day2.17 | to believe that by following me you will not walk in my footsteps. | Perhaps you will be granted eternal life, but not until you have |
D:Day3.18 | any anger now, pay attention to its effect on you. You can feel, | perhaps, the strain and tension in your stomach, back and neck. |
D:Day3.39 | through the responsiveness of the relationship that is unity. You | perhaps desired an answer that “came to you” through no process you |
D:Day3.39 | familiarity with the pattern of learning through the mind, you can | perhaps see why these first revelations of union would come to you in |
D:Day3.47 | of certainty, no matter how much knowledge it attains. What you have | perhaps begun to see in similar terms, is that money is also not the |
D:Day4.25 | available to you, even within your religious institutions. You feel, | perhaps, that you did not try hard enough, or pay enough attention to |
D:Day5.2 | For each of you this access point will in truth be the same, but | perhaps quite different in the action which you use in order to enter |
D:Day6.24 | an apprentice by being removed from the performance of your tasks? | Perhaps you would. But as has been stated from the beginning, there |
D:Day15.26 | different from the others with whom you are coming to know, and | perhaps quite different than you thought it would be. You will be |
D:Day19.1 | manifest in the world. In other words, you know not what to do. You | perhaps see no “specific” accomplishment in your future, but see |
D:Day19.1 | in the world and accomplish certain functions within the world. You | perhaps feel function-less and purposeless at times, while at other |

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

D:Day32.9 | He live as the spirit within us, and as such have some small role, | perhaps akin to that of what we refer to as our conscience? What kind |
D:Day32.13 | 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 lives, |
D:Day36.19 | You can see, now, | perhaps, why we have had to build your awareness slowly in order for |

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

C:20.47 | Your | personal concerns are concerns you have been taught to believe you |

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

C:25.16 | This first joining is a choice made from love without regard for the | personal self. You begin to live from love when the personal self |
C:25.16 | regard for the personal self. You begin to live from love when the | personal self gets out of the way. And when the personal self gets |
C:25.16 | from love when the personal self gets out of the way. And when the | personal self gets out of the way in any instance, it is the turning |
C:25.20 | this stage the desire to create may be linked with ego as well. Your | personal self will be looking for a place in which to reside. It will |

C:27.5 | another as a function of the divine. You become confused between the | personal self and a true Self only because you have not as yet |
C:28.3 | Because inner knowing is both individual and collective, both | personal and universal, this is the source of all proof. And so you |
C:28.4 | brought about by innocence more so than by wisdom. This sharing of | personal testimony has reached its zenith and will no longer be as |
C:31.2 | of a higher order, or spiritual thought. Thoughts related to your | personal self and the “laws” of the body, such as those of survival, |
T2:13.1 | of this Treatise is, in contrast to those put forth previously, a | personal call from me to you. By now you have seen that your fears of |
T2:13.2 | Self. Now that you have been made ready, it is time for us to have a | personal relationship. We have, within these lessons, taken you far |

T2:13.2 | personal self, and I, as your teacher, have all but discounted the | personal self I experience in relationship with you. Now, in unity, |
T2:13.2 | in relationship with you. Now, in unity, we are ready to be | personal again. |
T2:13.3 | While the | personal self is the subject of the next Treatise, this is my |
T2:13.3 | this is my invitation to you, specifically, to enter into a holy and | personal relationship with me, specifically. While you are here, you |
T2:13.6 | in a mantle of peace and joy. Let who you are shine through the | personal self who continues to walk this world a while longer. Listen |
T3:1.1 | The | personal self exists as the self you present to others. This is the |
T3:1.1 | as the self you present to others. This is the only way in which the | personal self will continue to exist following the completion and the |
T3:1.1 | the completion and the integration of this Course. Previously, the | personal self that you presented to others represented an ego-self |
T3:1.1 | you believed yourself to be. Now the ego has been separated from the | personal self so that you may claim your personal self again and |
T3:1.1 | has been separated from the personal self so that you may claim your | personal self again and present to others a true representation of |
T3:1.4 | the truth reveals only illusion and becomes illusion. Thus, as your | personal self becomes a representation of the truth it will become |

T3:12.2 | time. The creation of time was simultaneous with the creation of the | personal self. Because the steps that came before that of the |
T3:12.2 | of the personal self. Because the steps that came before that of the | personal self did not come in time, they are eternal, eternal levels |
T3:12.3 | remove the time-bound temptations of the human experience of the | personal self. |
T3:12.4 | cannot be bound by time and be a House of Truth. How then can the | personal self begin to realize the human experience outside of time? |
T3:12.4 | of time? The answer is thus: by changing the consciousness of the | personal self from a time-bound state of consciousness to an eternal |
T3:12.9 | became a life of suffering and strife only because the physical or | personal self forgot that it exists in relationship and believed |
T3:13.2 | so cause you to be aware only of a self of human experience, or a | personal self. While you may still feel a connection to God during |
T3:13.2 | while your reality remains that of the physical experience and the | personal self. In such times you can conceive only of a God outside |
T3:13.14 | or images originating from the Self and being represented by the | personal self. It is only in this way that the personal self will be |
T3:13.14 | represented by the personal self. It is only in this way that the | personal self will be able to represent the Self in truth. |
T3:21.6 | Your | personal self exists in illusion. It is called a personal self |
T3:21.6 | Your personal self exists in illusion. It is called a | personal self because it is attached to a person. A person is a being |
T3:21.7 | The only means for the | personal self and the true Self to exist together is for the truth to |
T3:21.10 | this Course has disproved. This identity has been seen as your | personal self. Thus your personal self is the only place in which you |
T3:21.10 | This identity has been seen as your personal self. Thus your | personal self is the only place in which you have experience that can |
T3:21.11 | things upon which you draw to feel the certainty you feel about your | personal self. You identify yourself as male or female, married or |
T3:21.11 | Chinese or Lebanese or American, black or white or Indian. Your | personal self may be deeply affected by these things you call |
T3:21.12 | as often been considered as part of what makes you certain of your | personal self, are the thoughts of your mind, thoughts that while |
T3:21.13 | things as part of what make up the totality of who you are, of your | personal self. |
T3:21.14 | So it can be seen that there are several aspects to your | personal self: a historical aspect, an aspect we will call |
T3:21.15 | yourself or not, they exist. Your world-view, and your view of your | personal self, are inextricably bound together. In other words, the |
T3:21.16 | understanding or knowing your brothers and sisters, those whose | personal selves and world view cannot help but be different than your |
T3:21.17 | to accept your true identity even while you retain the form of your | personal self. As your true identity is that of a Self who exists in |
T3:21.17 | is that of a Self who exists in unity and the identity of your | personal self is that of a self who exists in separation, this would |
T3:21.18 | Thus, certain things about your | personal self must be accepted as aspects of your form and cease to |
T3:21.18 | time while you carry observance forward into observance of your | personal self. As was said at the beginning of this Treatise, by the |
T3:21.18 | Treatise, by the time the learning of this Treatise is complete, the | personal self will continue to exist only as the self you present to |
T3:21.20 | answer. One is that your certainty regarding the identity of your | personal self will be useful as that certainty is translated to the |
T3:21.21 | The world is quite simply bigger now and the identities of your | personal selves split by far more than history and far more than the |
T3:21.22 | seen. What I am saying is that you can remain confident in your | personal self, knowing that your personal self will serve those you |
T3:21.22 | you can remain confident in your personal self, knowing that your | personal self will serve those you are meant to serve. What you have |
T3:21.24 | addressed and seen as it relates to the relationship between the | personal self and the Self; the truth and its representation and |
T3:22.4 | Since your | personal self was always meant to represent the truth of who you are, |
T3:22.9 | within you. You are ready to be done with the concerns of the | personal self, and your attention has begun to wander from this topic |
T3:22.10 | the realization will come to you that you are ready to leave the | personal self and the concerns of the personal self behind. You have |
T3:22.10 | you are ready to leave the personal self and the concerns of the | personal self behind. You have needed to become bored with what has |
T3:22.10 | has been, tired of the way things were, uninterested in matters of a | personal nature. This very readiness is what I now call your |

T3:22.17 | Observe the | personal self with one last act of love and devotion, and in so doing |
T3:22.17 | one last act of love and devotion, and in so doing transform the | personal self into a representation of the truth. Realize that what |
T3:22.17 | eyes” observation is really the observation of a Self beyond the | personal self. To call forth observance is to call forth the sight of |
T4:1.12 | As was said within “A Treatise on the | Personal Self,” even the house of illusion is held within the embrace |
T4:1.16 | As was said within “A Treatise on the | Personal Self,” all notions of blame must be gone from you. Thus, you |
T4:1.22 | for the new. It is what has caused your growing impatience with the | personal self, with acquiring all that your new learning in science |
T4:2.10 | the definition of observation provided in “A Treatise on the | Personal Self.” |
T4:3.2 | but not the same. Observation has to do with the elevation of the | personal self. Vision has to do with what cannot be elevated. Vision |
T4:3.3 | The | personal self is still in need of being elevated—elevated to its |
T4:3.4 | form. This original intent or cause formed the true nature of the | personal self capable of being observed in relationship. The |
T4:3.4 | it did not change the original cause, formed a false nature for the | personal self. This displacement of the original intent can be simply |
T4:3.9 | vision, the vision of love. What is new is the elevation of the | personal self that will be caused by the return of your natural state |
T4:3.10 | exists within it truly. Observation will allow you to elevate the | personal self to its rightful place within the nature of a world of |
T4:4.8 | now occupy, the change I have spoken of as that of elevation of the | personal self, is a natural part of the pattern of life-everlasting. |
T4:4.16 | believe that you are mortal is to believe that you must die to the | personal self of form in order to be reborn as a true Self. This is |
T4:4.16 | The joining of heart and mind in relationship is the joining of the | personal self with the true Self in the reality in which you exist |
T4:5.13 | Christ-consciousness and direct revelation. The elevation of the | personal self in this time of Christ can be the new choice. |

T4:9.7 | have you been made ready finally to be loosed of the bounds of the | personal self. This time of concentration on the self is unheralded |

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

D:1.3 | As long as you “see” such visions, you “see” the pattern of the | personal self going forth much as it did before. You do not “see” the |
D:1.3 | of the elevated Self. As long as you see in this way, you keep the | personal self in the forefront rather than allowing and aiding the |
D:1.3 | personal self in the forefront rather than allowing and aiding the | personal self in the stepping back that is required in order for the |

D:2.22 | the new. Looking within is not an attempt to find the answers of the | personal self of old, the separated self who depended on learned |
D:3.12 | consciousness is the truth of who you are. The elevation of the | personal self, however, requires that this giving and receiving as |
D:4.5 | those who are incarcerated there. Each of you has had an imprisoned | personal self. Each of you who have entered Christ-consciousness has |
D:5.3 | world to its true representation. As was said in “A Treatise on the | Personal Self”, there is a huge difference between a true |
D:6.24 | the body to accept the indwelling of Christ. You have replaced the | personal self, the self of learning, with the true Self. You have |
D:9.10 | meant to lead beyond the need for beliefs, and “A Treatise on the | Personal Self” meant to lead beyond the personal self. Thus the |
D:9.10 | and “A Treatise on the Personal Self” meant to lead beyond the | personal self. Thus the Treatises were not inconsistent with our aims |
D:10.1 | What is found outside of the boundary of the | personal self in the wider circle of unity is timeless. What comes to |
D:10.3 | the self of separation, the Self of elevated form rather than the | personal self. |
D:10.4 | to think of this in any other way will leave you with no individual, | personal accomplishment, nothing to be proud of, nothing to call your |
D:10.6 | to “Go forth and multiply.” It is about increase. To be content with | personal or individual understanding or experience of what is given |
D:11.16 | that arise from the well of spirit. To seek importance for the | personal self would be akin to placing the importance of Jesus on the |
D:12.18 | Some of you will have credited your | personal or individual self with the “figuring out” of this truth. |

T3:21.14 | So it can be seen that there are several aspects to your | personal self: a historical aspect, an aspect we will call |
T3:21.15 | yourself or not, they exist. Your world-view, and your view of your | personal self, are inextricably bound together. In other words, the |
T3:21.17 | to accept your true identity even while you retain the form of your | personal self. As your true identity is that of a Self who exists in |
T3:21.17 | is that of a Self who exists in unity and the identity of your | personal self is that of a self who exists in separation, this would |
T3:21.18 | Thus, certain things about your | personal self must be accepted as aspects of your form and cease to |
T3:21.18 | time while you carry observance forward into observance of your | personal self. As was said at the beginning of this Treatise, by the |
T3:21.18 | Treatise, by the time the learning of this Treatise is complete, the | personal self will continue to exist only as the self you present to |
T3:21.20 | answer. One is that your certainty regarding the identity of your | personal self will be useful as that certainty is translated to the |
T3:21.22 | seen. What I am saying is that you can remain confident in your | personal self, knowing that your personal self will serve those you |
T3:21.22 | you can remain confident in your personal self, knowing that your | personal self will serve those you are meant to serve. What you have |
T3:21.24 | addressed and seen as it relates to the relationship between the | personal self and the Self; the truth and its representation and |
T3:22.4 | Since your | personal self was always meant to represent the truth of who you are, |
T3:22.9 | within you. You are ready to be done with the concerns of the | personal self, and your attention has begun to wander from this topic |
T3:22.10 | the realization will come to you that you are ready to leave the | personal self and the concerns of the personal self behind. You have |
T3:22.10 | you are ready to leave the personal self and the concerns of the | personal self behind. You have needed to become bored with what has |

T3:22.16 | You have created your personal self, and only you can look upon this | personal self with the vision of creation, creating the personal self |
T3:22.16 | upon this personal self with the vision of creation, creating the | personal self anew, seeing within it all that will serve the new, and |
T3:22.17 | Observe the | personal self with one last act of love and devotion, and in so doing |
T3:22.17 | one last act of love and devotion, and in so doing transform the | personal self into a representation of the truth. Realize that what |
T3:22.17 | eyes” observation is really the observation of a Self beyond the | personal self. To call forth observance is to call forth the sight of |
T4:1.12 | As was said within “A Treatise on the | Personal Self,” even the house of illusion is held within the embrace |
T4:1.16 | As was said within “A Treatise on the | Personal Self,” all notions of blame must be gone from you. Thus, you |
T4:1.22 | for the new. It is what has caused your growing impatience with the | personal self, with acquiring all that your new learning in science |
T4:2.10 | the definition of observation provided in “A Treatise on the | Personal Self.” |
T4:3.2 | but not the same. Observation has to do with the elevation of the | personal self. Vision has to do with what cannot be elevated. Vision |
T4:3.3 | The | personal self is still in need of being elevated—elevated to its |
T4:3.4 | form. This original intent or cause formed the true nature of the | personal self capable of being observed in relationship. The |
T4:3.4 | it did not change the original cause, formed a false nature for the | personal self. This displacement of the original intent can be simply |
T4:3.9 | vision, the vision of love. What is new is the elevation of the | personal self that will be caused by the return of your natural state |
T4:3.10 | exists within it truly. Observation will allow you to elevate the | personal self to its rightful place within the nature of a world of |
T4:4.8 | now occupy, the change I have spoken of as that of elevation of the | personal self, is a natural part of the pattern of life-everlasting. |
T4:4.16 | believe that you are mortal is to believe that you must die to the | personal self of form in order to be reborn as a true Self. This is |
T4:4.16 | The joining of heart and mind in relationship is the joining of the | personal self with the true Self in the reality in which you exist |
T4:5.13 | Christ-consciousness and direct revelation. The elevation of the | personal self in this time of Christ can be the new choice. |
T4:9.7 | have you been made ready finally to be loosed of the bounds of the | personal self. This time of concentration on the self is unheralded |

T4:12.25 | a moment here, and celebrate this feat of the personal self! The | personal self, through the self-centeredness of the final stages of |
T4:12.27 | pattern, the ego could have succeeded in becoming the ruler of the | personal self. Part of this design and pattern was the freedom of |
T4:12.32 | me a teacher and you a student. The answers to the elevation of the | personal self and the living of Christ-consciousness in form are yet |
D:1.2 | to represent with your physical form. I come to you today not as a | personal self who is “other” than you, but as a divine Self who is |
D:1.3 | What this means in practical terms is that you let the | personal self step back and the true Self step forward. Realize that |
D:1.3 | step forward. Realize that all of your “concerns” are still for the | personal self, a self whom you continue to believe can fail to |
D:1.3 | of intelligence—through lack, in other words, of abilities of the | personal self. As long as you “see” such visions, you “see” the |
D:1.3 | As long as you “see” such visions, you “see” the pattern of the | personal self going forth much as it did before. You do not “see” the |
D:1.3 | of the elevated Self. As long as you see in this way, you keep the | personal self in the forefront rather than allowing and aiding the |
D:1.3 | personal self in the forefront rather than allowing and aiding the | personal self in the stepping back that is required in order for the |
D:1.7 | This acceptance is crucial to the elevation of the | personal self. Without this acceptance the personal self must still |

D:1.10 | is not what is required any longer as we work instead to elevate the | personal self. This elevation occurs through the acceptance of your |

D:1.17 | further learning is not what will complete the transformation of the | personal self to the elevated Self. Learning will not sustain |
D:2.15 | of your true identity into the self of form, or the elevation of the | personal self, new patterns are needed. |
D:2.22 | the new. Looking within is not an attempt to find the answers of the | personal self of old, the separated self who depended on learned |
D:3.12 | consciousness is the truth of who you are. The elevation of the | personal self, however, requires that this giving and receiving as |
D:4.5 | those who are incarcerated there. Each of you has had an imprisoned | personal self. Each of you who have entered Christ-consciousness has |
D:6.24 | the body to accept the indwelling of Christ. You have replaced the | personal self, the self of learning, with the true Self. You have |
D:9.10 | and “A Treatise on the Personal Self” meant to lead beyond the | personal self. Thus the Treatises were not inconsistent with our aims |
D:10.1 | What is found outside of the boundary of the | personal self in the wider circle of unity is timeless. What comes to |
D:10.3 | the self of separation, the Self of elevated form rather than the | personal self. |
D:11.16 | that arise from the well of spirit. To seek importance for the | personal self would be akin to placing the importance of Jesus on the |
D:12.18 | this coming to know of the truth wasn’t quite “of” the “you” of the | personal self. |
D:13.8 | is all you have known. This perceived state is synonymous with the | personal self, with the idea of individuality, with separate |
D:16.17 | This is only an image. This is not your | personal self, your ego self, or your separated self, come to reclaim |
D:Day8.17 | of your heart. It would have been to accept the feelings of a | personal self who had not yet unlearned the lessons of the past or |

D:Day10.13 | the beginning of our dialogue. While you still hold an image of your | personal self, you still hold inaccurate ideas about the feelings of |
D:Day10.13 | self, you still hold inaccurate ideas about the feelings of the | personal self. This is because your image of the personal self is |
D:Day10.13 | the feelings of the personal self. This is because your image of the | personal self is based on the past and the feelings of the past. This |

T3:17.5 | exactly what has been learned during the time of your experience in | physical form. Since your true Self could not learn the untrue, a new |
T3:18.2 | observe what the Self expresses, was part of the original choice for | physical form. The word observance has rightly been linked with |
T3:18.3 | an effect. Because this was part of the original choice for the | physical experience, it is a natural choice to serve our new purpose |
T3:18.4 | Expressing who you are in | physical form will return remembrance to the minds of those who |
T3:18.9 | In this way, you will join the mechanisms of your | physical form to the new thought system of the truth. Your body, as |
T3:19.1 | You must not fear the changes that will occur within your | physical form as it begins to be guided by the thought system of the |
T3:19.1 | others will be no more. You have no more need to fear the loss of | physical joys than you have to fear the loss of mental and spiritual |

T3:19.4 | heart. As cause and effect are one, there is no effect to be seen in | physical form without a corresponding cause birthed in the ego |
T3:19.7 | union may be called for. While some of you may have less desire for | physical joining as you become more aware of unity, some may have |
T3:19.7 | as you become more aware of unity, some may have more desire for | physical joining as an expression of that union. Neither option is |
T3:19.9 | goal. That goal is the original thought that began the experience in | physical form, the thought of expressing the Self in observable form. |
T3:19.11 | bodily temptations. Although you will now represent who you are in | physical form in a new way, you can still see that your actions of |
T3:21.18 | do with the thoughts of a separated mind or the circumstances of the | physical body. |
T4:2.22 | first joining in unity, the joining of heart and mind, joins the | physical and the spiritual world in a relationship of which you can |

T4:3.2 | things. Observation is the means of seeing this binding pattern in | physical form. |

T4:3.12 | The | physical form is not the natural or original form of the created. |

D:14.12 | whole, has not been fully birthed. Your forms are complete in the | physical sense of sustaining life. Your form was birthed and you have |
D:Day3.47 | You still believe the truth of the situation to be the reality of | physical form and of what you have or have not within the confines of |
D:Day5.3 | experiences come from your mind or from a place just beyond your | physical concept of the mind but, since you are not your body, the |
D:Day5.5 | arises from the earth and as if it is just below the form of the | physical body. Some could feel it in their hands and others as if it |
D:Day15.4 | to know and to make known without observation or observance of the | physical. This occurs through your relationship with the unknown. You |

T2:3.7 | you, already accomplished but awaiting expression in this realm of | physicality. |
T3:12.7 | in which only God’s laws of love exist even within the realm of | physicality. What this means is that all that in this human |
T3:12.8 | human experience, the choice to express who you are in the realm of | physicality. You were not “better” or more “right” before this choice |
T3:17.1 | of love could be created and observed within the realm of | physicality. |

C:8.13 | why unity and wholeness go hand in hand? Why you cannot withhold a | piece of yourself and realize the unity that is your home? Were it |

D:Day6.7 | At one time the creation of a | piece of music is only an idea in the mind and heart of the creator. |
D:Day6.7 | into a tape recorder. Much starting and stopping may be done, or the | piece may find its expression easily, in a way that the artist might |
D:Day6.7 | describe as flowing. Depending on the disposition of the artist, the | piece of music might be shared with others at each step of the |
D:Day6.7 | those with whom the music is shared will impact the artist and the | piece. Positive reactions might validate the artist’s instinct and |
D:Day6.7 | to make changes, or to be more determined than ever to see the | piece through to the point where it will be appreciated. Finishing |
D:Day6.7 | where it will be appreciated. Finishing touches will be put on the | piece. Some collaboration might take place to get it just right. By |
D:Day6.7 | place to get it just right. By the time the artist has completed the | piece of music she began, it may have little resemblance to the piece |
D:Day6.7 | the piece of music she began, it may have little resemblance to the | piece originally intended, or it might be quite true to the original |
D:Day6.8 | Every creative | piece of art that comes to completion includes a choice. At some |
D:Day6.8 | point along the way a commitment is made between the artist and the | piece of art. A commitment to see it through. This commitment may |

C:29.14 | for you while you compartmentalize your life into designated | pieces giving yourself time for work and time for leisure and seeing |

T3:20.18 | You are as | pioneers to this new world. Its mere existence will attract others |
T4:2.14 | the patterns of the past, to believe that you are chosen to be the | pioneers into a new time without believing that you are special. This |
T4:12.3 | At this time, there is a gathering of | pioneers of the new already in existence. They are beginning to see |

C:P.4 | assuming there would be such a state in which learning could take | place would be meaningless. |
C:P.11 | abdicating love to fear. You are perhaps making this world a better | place but you are not abolishing it. In your acceptance of doing good |
C:P.17 | and at times miraculous deeds without the world changing from a | place of misery and despair. What is more arrogant? To believe that |
C:P.23 | hit a wall rather than come across a bridge. It is precisely the | place at which you stopped that you must return to. Those who |
C:P.26 | the family together as one is love. The family is, in fact, the only | place where unconditional love is seen as acceptable. Thus, no matter |
C:P.28 | of you that rages against injustice, pain, and horror does so from a | place that does not accept and will never accept that these things |
C:P.36 | shape, and scope like unto the old and hope to transport it from one | place to another would be delusional. The new world does not have to |
C:P.39 | see yourself “other than” as man or woman living in a particular | place in a particular time, you cannot see your Self. Thus Jesus |
C:P.40 | aware of the fact that if you could not see the transformation take | place “with your own two eyes,” you would not believe that the two |
C:1.1 | being has a heart. Let us define heart as the center of being, that | place from which all feeling arises. All true feeling is love. All |
C:1.2 | of love. Lack of love is nothing. Thus, all offerings made from a | place other than love are nothing. All offerings made from a place of |
C:1.2 | from a place other than love are nothing. All offerings made from a | place of fear or guilt are nothing. |
C:1.3 | human form your heart must beat for the life of your self to take | place. This is the nature of your reality. Love is as essential to |
C:1.7 | are needed. How silly you feel to have carted them from one | place to the next. What a waste of time and energy to have been |
C:1.18 | love is a choice for heaven. A choice of fear is hell. Neither are a | place. They are a further reflection of means and end being the same. |
C:2.6 | in anger in another, and that both actions originate from the same | place, is an error of enormous proportions. You again label love a |
C:3.7 | functions and you think not that they are all the same. You | place values on each one based on usefulness or pleasant appearance, |
C:3.7 | or pleasant appearance, on popularity or on reputation. Each one you | place in relationship to yourself, and so you do not even see the |
C:3.12 | it is only in the study of the two that you believe learning takes | place. |
C:4.6 | In your knowledge of your Self, all threat of time and space and | place dissolves. You may still walk an alien land, but not in a fog |
C:4.10 | nor can you earn more of God’s love than you have, or a better | place in Heaven. The mind, under the ego’s direction, has thrived on |
C:4.10 | on winners and on losers, on striving for and earning a better | place. The heart knows not these distinctions, and those who think |
C:4.20 | The world you struggle so to navigate is what you have made it, a | place where love fits not and enters not in truth. But love has |
C:4.20 | love has entered you and leaves you not, and so you too must have no | place in this world that you have made but must have another where |
C:4.21 | The lucky ones among you have made a | place resembling home within your world. It is where you keep love |
C:4.21 | another day. You spend your life intent upon retiring to this safe | place you have made of love in a world of madness, and hope that you |
C:4.27 | nothingness from which it came as a new world rises up to take its | place. |
C:5.8 | from all the rest. In setting love apart, you recognized it had no | place here; but you went on to set yourself apart and all else that |
C:5.9 | displaced as to make a mockery of who you are. Love does mark your | place—but in eternity, not here. What you leave behind is never |
C:5.22 | of which you have conceived. Over all your longing for union you | place this desire to be separate and alone. Your entire resistance to |
C:5.32 | awaits you as you join with what you see. This awaits you as you | place no judgment on the world, and in so doing join with everything |
C:6.2 | of it no more, and you will gently let it go and find heaven in its | place. |
C:6.17 | accomplishment. With peace, accomplishment is achieved in the only | place where it makes any sense to desire it. With your accomplishment |
C:6.19 | Think about this now—for how could heaven be a separate | place? A piece of geography distinct from all the rest? How could it |
C:6.19 | and still be what it is: home to God’s beloved son and dwelling | place of God Himself? It is because God is not separate from anything |
C:7.21 | most predominate in your society. Thus the truth is different in one | place than it is in another and it even appears to be in conflict. |
C:7.21 | even though you are aware of their instability in time as well as | place, and so you live with constant denial that even what is known |
C:8.6 | You think of the heart as the | place of feeling, and thus you associate emotions with your heart. |
C:8.8 | heart, where is love? If these illusions were real there would be no | place for love at all, but love abides where illusion cannot enter. |
C:8.10 | hidden from you, your recognition that a truth is available in a | place other than on the surface is useful to us now, as is your |
C:8.11 | You look from separation’s stance rather than from the grace-filled | place of union. Perhaps you are thinking now that if you knew how |
C:8.18 | you are perhaps more aware than ever before of being in a particular | place and time. As you stand back and observe your body, this is what |
C:8.18 | your body, this is what you will see: a form moving through time and | place. You may be more aware than ever of its actions and complaints, |
C:9.13 | labeled this or that often are not content to stay where you would | place them. They seem to betray you, when it is you who betray them |
C:9.14 | memories trying to reveal the truth to you. They call to you from a | place that you know not. The difficulty is that the only self that is |
C:9.14 | of denial or contempt. It is your language that gives emotion its | place, one step behind fear, in your battle to control or protect |
C:9.21 | that you could bring this one in from that dark and dangerous | place. She is cold, and you prepare a fire and give her a warm |
C:9.28 | than what it is? Have you not seen this kind of distortion take | place within the reality you do see? Is this not the story of the |
C:9.30 | than that you are using it. You do so out of guilt in an attempt to | place your guilt outside yourself. “My body made me do it” is like |
C:9.34 | and lay to ruin. The only thing that might succeed in proving your | place as that of royal inheritor would be if you could fix yourself |
C:9.38 | balance, and try to find something for one part of yourself in one | place and something for another somewhere else. This one fulfills |
C:9.41 | idolatry tells you that glory is for the few, and so you take your | place in line at the starting gate and make your bid for glory. You |
C:9.44 | of use obvious to both the user and the usee, and so has its proper | place in our discussion here. Look at patterns of abuse, in |
C:9.45 | destructive force of such abuse is easily apparent. Again you would | place the blame outside yourself and label drugs, alcohol, tobacco, |
C:10.6 | Be warned that it will constantly try to interfere as long as you | place any merit in what it tells you. |
C:10.21 | return impossible and count themselves lucky for not going to the | place from which change would become inevitable. |
C:10.23 | fear lies beneath the surface, see the advantage of this exercise: | Place your body out in front of yourself where you can be its silent |
C:10.32 | you. “Come home, come home,” it will sing. You will know there is a | place within yourself where you are missed and longed for and safe |
C:11.6 | you have made has been shaken now, and you realize you would like to | place your faith elsewhere. You would like to, but you have your |
C:11.13 | the final line of defense, the site where the final battle will take | place. Before this final battle is reached your willingness to change |
C:11.18 | obligation. But a dinner party where love is welcomed to take its | place becomes a celebration. Your table becomes an altar to the Lord |
C:12.7 | the energy required to keep the world of your illusion in its | place, you would understand the rest that will simply come of giving |
C:12.12 | is not what it was meant to be. On a lovely day and in a lovely | place you can see that creation’s paradise still exists, but nowhere |
C:12.21 | The Father did not prevent the idea of separation from taking | place, and could not any more than you could prevent an idea from |
C:14.3 | make yourself inferior, and you are always making for yourself a | place at one of these extremes. And all this effort and conflict |
C:14.4 | God provided you with a paradise not of this world, a separate | place to honor your specialness and separation from all else that He |
C:14.19 | is dependent upon you. And no wonder that when you find a respite, a | place of rest and beauty and of love, you want to claim it for your |
C:14.19 | plot and plan for what they never have the opportunity to put into | place. Still others are more coy in their design, and dress it up to |
C:15.12 | as well as his birthright and your own. You only need be open to the | place that no specialness can enter, and bid your brother choose for |
C:16.10 | basis that it uses no judgment! Here you can see the value that you | place on judgment, even to the ridiculous notion that you can judge |
C:16.16 | Your judgment has not made the world a better | place! If history proves anything, it proves the opposite of what you |
C:16.16 | make themselves. For all of you here know that judgment is not your | place, and that it belongs to God and God alone. This is firmly |
C:17.13 | of your body has prepared you for this. Step back now to the | place that has been held for you. You have not lost “your place in |
C:17.13 | now to the place that has been held for you. You have not lost “your | place in line” because you wandered. It has been held for you by the |
C:18.5 | This chain I have described helps you to imagine the | place I hold for you, as you held mine when I entered the world in |
C:18.6 | as a curse, as a punishment from God, or as your home, a dwelling | place that keeps you separate, then you can begin to see it as what |
C:18.8 | who comprise it, and imagine the life that you experience now taking | place much like that you would see projected on a movie screen. You |
C:18.8 | you would see projected on a movie screen. You have not left your | place as you view this movie and experience its sights and sounds, |
C:19.5 | on faith alone. Experience is needed to change your beliefs and to | place your faith securely in them. The first step in leading you to |
C:19.12 | must learn to see yourself as you see your brothers and sisters, and | place your belief not in differences but in sameness. |
C:19.21 | past does not abide in you. What you need rather do is strive for a | place of stillness from which what needs review can arise as if it |
C:20.10 | imaginal, a dream that requires you not to leave your home, your | place of safety and of rest. You are cradled gently while your spirit |
C:20.17 | people who would as soon do you harm as good. It is but the | place of your interaction with all that lives within you, sharing the |
C:20.44 | and acting. It will immediately make the world a kinder, gentler | place. And it is only a beginning. |
C:21.5 | one another might recognize that the other’s “heart is in the right | place.” The “right place” with two people—as with mind and heart— |
C:21.5 | The “right place” with two people—as with mind and heart—is the | place of no division. The unification of mind and heart that produces |
C:22.19 | a moment of how you tell a story or report on events that have taken | place within your life. You personalize. You are likely to report on |
C:24.3 | can be seen as a sign. Let them alert you that unlearning is taking | place. Welcome them as harbingers of this good news. Know that the |
C:25.19 | This is unlearning taking | place. It may feel frustrating and be tinged with anxiety, anger, |
C:25.20 | be linked with ego as well. Your personal self will be looking for a | place in which to reside. It will be looking for identity. It will |

C:26.24 | an integral place in the pattern that is oneness with God. It is a | place you have never left but that you long for, believing that you |

C:28.4 | Few are chosen to be prophets, and the plethora of testimony taking | place is brought about by innocence more so than by wisdom. This |

C:29.21 | to make choices is an act that comes from an entirely different | place than decision-making. Claiming is akin to prayer and is but an |

C:31.12 | How the ego becomes dislodged matters not. What matters is where you | place your devotion. |
C:31.33 | receiving being one in truth. Giving and receiving are both taking | place, both at the same time, as are seeking and finding, once you |
T1:1.9 | ego-mind had to be circumvented in order for true learning to take | place. This is what A Course of Love accomplished. This learning was |
T1:4.21 | but response. Response was what was required in the first | place and your inability to respond need not be repeated. You are |
T1:5.6 | real to you. The lucky among you have made of this in-between | place an adventure, and are happy in your seeking. You do not care to |
T1:5.7 | in-between you have created between all and nothing. This in-between | place is your comfort zone and, although you feel compelled to push |
T1:6.2 | How is this revelation to take | place? It will begin by learning the art of thought as the act of |
T1:8.3 | truth. There was only one truth at the time the event or change took | place, and there is only one truth in time or eternity regardless of |
T1:9.15 | or the intellect. The perceived attack will have entered at the | place where you have placed your highest value and are thus most |
T2:1.4 | of perfection, and you may find in this a somewhat peaceful resting | place to dwell in for a time. You may find that despite having |
T2:1.5 | This resting | place is indeed hallowed ground and an earned respite, a demarcation |
T2:1.5 | But it is not the end that is sought. No matter how peaceful this | place of rest may at first seem, it will soon become stagnant and |
T2:1.5 | seem, it will soon become stagnant and unsatisfying. Left in such a | place without further instruction, you would soon return to your old |
T2:1.6 | This | place is not life but neither is it death, for even death is not an |
T2:1.6 | but neither is it death, for even death is not an eternal resting | place in the sense that you have imagined it. Even rest, once truly |
T2:1.6 | Even rest, once truly learned, is simply rest. It is not a resting | place, a place to stop along the journey of life any more than it is |
T2:1.6 | once truly learned, is simply rest. It is not a resting place, a | place to stop along the journey of life any more than it is a place |
T2:1.6 | a place to stop along the journey of life any more than it is a | place at which life stops and death reigns. It is not a point at |
T2:1.8 | of this Course, unity, like rest, may have come to be viewed as a | place at which you can arrive. Like peace, it may feel like a bubble |
T2:1.8 | seems to reign there. You must realize that you think in terms of | place because you think in terms of form. Thus even I have often used |
T2:1.8 | you think in terms of form. Thus even I have often used the idea of | place as a teaching aid. But you are ready now to begin to think |
T2:1.9 | that you hang upon your wall. The time of painting becomes a | place. A room or studio is envisioned in which all the tools of the |
T2:1.10 | Thought “forms” are the product of the separation. Unity is not a | place or a thing but the realm of the one heart and one mind; the |
T2:3.2 | What I refer to so often here as being within, as if “within” is a | place in which something resides, is unity and it is the place where |
T2:3.2 | is a place in which something resides, is unity and it is the | place where being resides. It is the place or realm of one heart and |
T2:3.2 | resides, is unity and it is the place where being resides. It is the | place or realm of one heart and one mind. It is the place where |
T2:3.2 | It is the place or realm of one heart and one mind. It is the | place where everything already exists fully realized. It is like a |
T2:4.9 | the conflict of two opposing sets of thoughts and feelings to the | place of unity. |
T2:4.13 | where there is no division between who you are and what you do. This | place of no division is the place of unity. |
T2:4.13 | who you are and what you do. This place of no division is the | place of unity. |
T2:4.14 | accepting who you are. Accepting where you are, as if it is a static | place at which you have arrived, is not the goal that has been set. |
T2:6.1 | alerts you to the treasures that lie within. There is no time in the | place we are calling within and your heart knows not of time even |
T2:6.1 | not of time even while it adheres to the rules of time you would | place upon yourself. Cease adhering to the rules of time and see how |
T2:6.2 | If you can begin now to think without the barriers of time you but | place upon your thinking, you will advance this process and more |
T2:6.6 | will be in unity. There is only what is. Thus the limits you would | place on the concept of something being what it is, must be part of |
T2:7.7 | be tempted to believe that giving and receiving as one is not taking | place. Your previous pattern of behavior will be quick to assert |
T2:7.19 | does mean that you bring the thoughts and feelings that arise to the | place within your heart that has been prepared for them. You do not |
T2:7.19 | bring them first to your Self, to the Self joined in unity at the | place of your heart. From this place you learn to discriminate, to |
T2:7.19 | to the Self joined in unity at the place of your heart. From this | place you learn to discriminate, to separate the false from the true, |
T2:7.19 | from the true, for your ego thoughts cannot long abide in the holy | place of your heart. Then, with truth and illusion separated, you |
T2:8.6 | from home for home is who you are, a “place” you carry within you, a | place that is you. This is the home of unity. |
T2:9.4 | to having a reaction to this meeting of a need as if it takes | place apart from you, or from outside of you. You assign the meeting |
T2:13.4 | the time of separation and the beginning of the time of unity taking | place around you, practice the beliefs that have been put forth in |
T2:13.5 | another in gratitude. This is the attitude of the wholehearted, the | place from which all calls are sounded and received, the place where |
T2:13.5 | the place from which all calls are sounded and received, the | place where the true thinking of those united in mind and heart |
T3:1.13 | work now to correct the errors of the past in the present, the only | place where such work can be done. We work with what we have, a form |
T3:4.7 | You can dismantle the ego and build another in its | place and this has at times been done in the individual with great |
T3:6.6 | bitterness itself behind. Bring bitterness no longer to the dwelling | place of Christ and we will seal the place of its entrance with the |
T3:6.6 | no longer to the dwelling place of Christ and we will seal the | place of its entrance with the sweetness of love so that bitterness |
T3:8.4 | of many past lives, the identity you hold in this time and this | place still believes in its own history and that of those who came |
T3:9.3 | beyond its walls. You might think, at first, that you are in a | place so foreign that you must immediately begin to learn again, |
T3:10.3 | The first thing I ask you to forget is your need to find a | place where blame can be placed. You who have been waiting to get to |
T3:10.3 | yourself is as senseless as blaming others and your inclination to | place blame upon yourself must be given up as well. When it is said |
T3:10.5 | space you will long to fill. This act of consciously choosing not to | place blame will short-circuit the many thoughts that you would |
T3:10.5 | I offer it not as a replacement, what you will find will come in the | place of blame is an idea of acceptance of what is, an idea that is |
T3:10.7 | to you to become aware of the total change that has, in truth, taken | place. |
T3:10.8 | reactions to people and situations and much like forgetting to | place blame. |
T3:11.3 | of Truth represent an awareness of a new reality, a new dwelling | place. |
T3:11.4 | in the House of Truth does not represent a structure but a dwelling | place. The word house as used in the house of illusion does represent |
T3:11.4 | self from all that it would fear. The House of Truth is the dwelling | place of those who no longer live in fear and thus have no need for a |
T3:13.6 | This is a simple | place to start because each of you are tempted to hang on to this |
T3:13.7 | I say this is a simple | place to start because you can put this new idea into practice today |
T3:14.12 | onto the past as if it were the truth, allows not correction to take | place. The past is no more and neither the present nor the future can |
T3:15.1 | others. For most mature adults, some form of new beginning has taken | place or been offered. Often, those within the relationship of |
T3:15.2 | types of new beginnings and all that would hamper them from taking | place. |
T3:15.9 | that, like all others that you have offered or attempted, will take | place in relationship. The difference is that this new beginning will |
T3:15.9 | in relationship. The difference is that this new beginning will take | place in holy, rather than special, relationship. |
T3:16.14 | be good, to help others, and to struggle to make the world a better | place, fall into this category. Your notions of wanting to protect or |
T3:16.17 | Accept one “part” or tenet of the truth and see the reverse take | place. See how quickly the thought system of the truth builds upon |
T3:17.5 | true, your true Self had to be appealed to for this learning to take | place. |
T3:18.3 | It is thus from observable form that the final learning will take | place. This is the perfect example of using what you have made for a |
T3:20.2 | is but a measurement of, it rightly follows that learning can take | place at a slow pace or a fast pace. There is no more or less to |
T3:21.10 | been seen as your personal self. Thus your personal self is the only | place in which you have experience that can now be used for a new |
T3:22.13 | both of yourself and of what you desire, is an act that takes | place in the here and now that is and brings what is into existence. |
T3:22.13 | does not appear to exist with you in the here and now is not, and | place it in a separate category, a category that only exists in the |
T4:1.23 | of your ancestors despite the advances of learning that have taken | place, it is a different world. You have not known the secret |
T4:3.10 | will allow you to elevate the personal self to its rightful | place within the nature of a world of love. |
T4:10.5 | the greatest teacher. Studying places the power of the teacher in a | place other than that of love. Relationship happens as it happens. |
T4:10.13 | of learning will change the world. They will make the world a better | place and see many of their students advance beyond what they can |
D:1.11 | Help is here. Be what you have been called to be. Open your dwelling | place to your true Self, your true identity. Imagine this opening and |
D:4.19 | Thus without limiting this freedom at all, let us simply speak of a | place and a way to begin to experience it, and of a place and a way |
D:4.19 | speak of a place and a way to begin to experience it, and of a | place and a way to begin to create the new. |
D:4.20 | This | place and this way begins at the prison doors, begins, as we said |
D:4.23 | I remind you that there is no authority to whom you can turn. But in | place of that “outside” authority, I give you your own authority, an |
D:4.26 | release is at hand and it will come from your own authority and no | place else. It is up to you to accept that your release is possible, |
D:6.1 | you that the time of “teaching” like the time of “learning” had its | place as well as its methods. |
D:6.9 | impossible to repopulate the earth afterwards even if it had taken | place as described. |
D:7.4 | Experiences of form take | place in time because experience, too, was designed for learning. Now |
D:7.8 | of time and space. It may still exist in a particular time and | place, but this is simply the nature of one aspect of what you are. |
D:7.13 | This discovery can only take | place in the reality of love. |
D:7.16 | Observation takes | place in time. Even while you have been called to observe what is, |
D:8.2 | Imagine this first as a | place where no learning is needed. Ah, you might say now, this you |
D:8.7 | what you now think of as your natural talents or abilities, the | place or Source of your natural talents or abilities is a place from |
D:8.7 | the place or Source of your natural talents or abilities is a | place from which to start building your awareness of what is |
D:8.10 | The self and the expression of self that comes from any | place other than wholeheartedness is not the true Self or the true |
D:8.12 | yearning for union with that from which it is divided. Enter the | place of no division, the place of shared consciousness, the place of |
D:8.12 | that from which it is divided. Enter the place of no division, the | place of shared consciousness, the place of wholeness. The natural |
D:8.12 | the place of no division, the place of shared consciousness, the | place of wholeness. The natural ability that you recognize as a given |
D:9.4 | you are in one way or another all of your life without reaching the | place of fulfillment you have sought. Even now, when you have learned |
D:11.17 | ways that lead to many paths of seeking, but illusion can provide no | place in which the seeking ends and the truth is found. |
D:11.18 | In unity! Unity is where the heart and mind are joined. Unity is the | place from which the expression, the right-minded action of the |
D:12.4 | capable of hearing the same language, you truly began to enter the | place of unity, to take the step outside of the dot of the body. |
D:12.13 | coming to know of the Self joined in unity, enters you through the | place of mind and heart joined in wholeheartedness at the center of |
D:12.13 | and heart joined in wholeheartedness at the center of yourself, a | place that has nothing to do with the body. That you listen, hear, |
D:14.10 | for learning is incremental and discovery is not. Learning took | place in parts in an effort to lead to wholeness. Discovery comes to |
D:15.22 | of the highest mountain. These dialogues might be seen as taking | place there, with the guide and the team of climbers who accompanied |
D:16.4 | in which the unified principles of creation are seen to be taking | place as separate steps. This is so because of the condition of time. |
D:17.24 | him home. To where he started from. In story form, this takes | place with movement. Years are spent traveling many paths and many |
D:Day1.3 | my words, and these words are what have brought you here, not to a | place but to an ascended state. Without your acceptance of who I am, |
D:Day1.14 | I now would like to lead you beyond, the world would be a different | place. Have I not called you to a new time in which the conditions of |
D:Day1.14 | are banished, rejected, and a new world of love accepted in their | place? |
D:Day2.11 | or a flood. Yes, this was different, but this difference does not | place these actions beyond the idea of acceptance. |
D:Day3.17 | in the case of those “born” to money. Thus this is a good | place to start, since inheritance is that of which we speak. Let’s be |
D:Day3.26 | Love. But beyond learning is where we now stand. We now stand at the | place of the rejection of learning—the rejection of all you learned. |
D:Day3.39 | When you have felt the reality of union, you have felt the | place in which no want exists. You felt this through the |
D:Day3.42 | which your desires are responded to. This does not mean that the | place of unity is a place that does not interact with the place of |
D:Day3.42 | are responded to. This does not mean that the place of unity is a | place that does not interact with the place of form. It is |
D:Day3.42 | that the place of unity is a place that does not interact with the | place of form. It is interacting with the world of form through you. |
D:Day3.44 | you are being asked to do here, is to open the self of form to the | place of unity, thus allowing this divine flow of union into the |
D:Day4.13 | free from learning, a state free from death. To be told that such a | place exists is no more comforting than consoling words if you do not |
D:Day4.13 | than consoling words if you do not feel you have access to this | place. It is like being told that all of the treasure you might |
D:Day4.25 | truth. On your own, only illusion can be learned, for your starting | place is illusion. |
D:Day4.26 | treasure and the key to the treasure. Union is both access and the | place to which you desire access. As all that exists in truth, union |
D:Day4.35 | You might think of the mountain top as symbolic of a | place close to God. If God was once seen as a figure in heaven, and |
D:Day4.35 | to God. If God was once seen as a figure in heaven, and heaven as a | place beyond the clouds, then the mountain top was symbolic of |
D:Day4.35 | the mountain top was symbolic of proximity. It was symbolic of a | place from which God was almost touchable. As if one could raise ones |
D:Day4.35 | to all that lies beyond time and space, to all that exists in the | place of unity. |
D:Day4.42 | Smile with me now, as you think of yourself in this elevated | place. You are still the self of form despite the truth that you are |
D:Day4.42 | self of form despite the truth that you are literally with me in a | place of high elevation. Is this what you choose to remain? A self of |
D:Day4.43 | transformed into the elevated Self of form? Do you want to know this | place of access and carry it within you, or do you only wish the |
D:Day4.45 | what A Course of Love taught you so that you could be taken to this | place and tempted to leave behind the temptations of the human |
D:Day5.3 | does not mean that these experiences come from your mind or from a | place just beyond your physical concept of the mind but, since you |
D:Day5.5 | be of your own choosing. Your point of access may be your head, or a | place just above or to the right or left of your head. It may be your |
D:Day6.6 | a piece of music, like the creation of a painting or a poem, takes | place in stages. |
D:Day6.7 | late in its development. But at some point, the sharing will take | place, and the reactions of those with whom the music is shared will |
D:Day6.7 | touches will be put on the piece. Some collaboration might take | place to get it just right. By the time the artist has completed the |
D:Day6.19 | Learning takes the student away from “normal” life and creates a | place for teaching and only calls this place elevated. Awareness, |
D:Day6.19 | “normal” life and creates a place for teaching and only calls this | place elevated. Awareness, acceptance, and discovery cannot occur in |
D:Day6.19 | elevated. Awareness, acceptance, and discovery cannot occur in a | place set apart from “normal” life. Believe me when I tell you that |
D:Day6.19 | phrase here. It is not the other way around. You cannot find a | place outside of yourself that will allow for the elevation of which |
D:Day6.19 | this. It is only the relationship we are developing in this elevated | place within that will bring to your full realization and |
D:Day6.20 | to change my focus, to engage me in debate, to lure me from the | place of elevation I knew I had attained. The temptations of the |
D:Day6.20 | externally removed from them cannot remove them. Only a created | place within can do so. |
D:Day6.21 | This | place within is what we are creating here. It is a truly elevated |
D:Day6.21 | place within is what we are creating here. It is a truly elevated | place. It is as real as a mountain top, in fact much more real. Were |
D:Day7.8 | exist in fear. As with Christ-consciousness, you are moving from a | place of maintenance of these conditions to one of sustainability of |
D:Day8.4 | labeling good or bad; only then can you deal with anything from a | place of peace. |
D:Day8.9 | However, a simple acceptance that you do not like the gossip taking | place in a present moment situation, will enable you not to |
D:Day8.27 | are still in need of this full acceptance or you will not reach the | place of sustainability. Every situation and every feeling that you |
D:Day9.1 | removed ourselves from life in any way, and yet we have reached a | place of retreat, a place of safety and of rest, a place away from |
D:Day9.1 | from life in any way, and yet we have reached a place of retreat, a | place of safety and of rest, a place away from “normal” life and the |
D:Day9.1 | we have reached a place of retreat, a place of safety and of rest, a | place away from “normal” life and the lack of freedom you have |
D:Day9.5 | be realized 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 |
D:Day9.15 | goal, a carrot of fulfillment the ego but dangled before you in the | place it called the future. As with all messages of the ego, it but |
D:Day9.31 | a god seen as “other than” puts all that you would long for in a | place outside of, or beyond, the self you are now. |
D:Day10.6 | that comes from union will seem to come, at least initially, from a | place other than the self. Because certainty seems to come from a |
D:Day10.6 | a place other than the self. Because certainty seems to come from a | place “other than” or beyond the self of form, you will instinctively |
D:Day10.6 | have greater trust in it. You will believe it comes from a | place “other than” or beyond the self of form because it comes in the |
D:Day10.15 | of form. Reflect further on your idea of certainty coming from a | place “other than” the self. Realize in these reflections that you |
D:Day10.23 | a true sharing in relationship in which an exchange is taking | place, you will further your progress greatly. |
D:Day10.26 | have spoken, in short, of the feelings you would think would have no | place within the ideal self or the elevated Self of form. |
D:Day15.8 | aspect of creation. It is thus not time bound. It did not take | place at the birth of creation and then cease to be. It did not take |
D:Day15.8 | place at the birth of creation and then cease to be. It did not take | place at the birth of the body and then cease to be. It is not about |
D:Day15.17 | slip from knowing to not knowing is through stagnating in a “known” | place. To cease to accept the unknown is to cease to come to know. |
D:Day15.26 | shown that you can enter the dialogue with all and still focus, or | place your attention, on areas that might not interest others in the |
D:Day19.9 | The way of Mary is not a | place or state of non-interaction however. This is not the state or |
D:Day19.9 | place or state of non-interaction however. This is not the state or | place of the monks, nuns, or the contemplatives of old. It is not |
D:Day19.14 | the way to their brothers and sisters. This is why this is not a | place or state of non-interaction but of great interaction. It is a |
D:Day21.9 | who had offered himself as a teacher in order to bring you to the | place of being willing to accept that a teacher was not needed. He |
D:Day21.9 | This reliance upon yourself has been expressed as a dialogue taking | place within Christ-consciousness, the consciousness you share in |
D:Day22.5 | This we have spoken of previously as your access to union—as a | place or state of consciousness through which your awareness of unity |
D:Day22.7 | to make the unknown knowable. You realize that you have known a | place where nothing but love exists, where there is no suffering, no |
D:Day22.7 | or alienation. You sense that if you could fully express this | place of union, if you could abide there, if you could share this |
D:Day22.7 | place of union, if you could abide there, if you could share this | place in an aware and conscious state, that you would bring this |
D:Day22.11 | Remember only the feeling that a | place of union exists in which you know God, in which you know love, |
D:Day23.3 | the mountain and onto level ground, the ground of the earth, the | place where you are connected and interconnected to all that lives |
D:Day24.9 | water, a pregnant woman her child. You carry your potential to the | place of its birth through an activated will, a will that is also |
D:Day27.12 | as an illustration, of your experience of separation always taking | place at a certain number of degrees away from the ideal. The |
D:Day28.18 | This change, this transformation, can only take | place within time because only within time is the experience of |
D:Day28.18 | Only this first change, this first transformation, must take | place in time. |
D:Day28.26 | together into the tapestry of your new life. This weaving will take | place as you continue to intertwine the two experiences that you are |
D:Day29.7 | are your reality. This is why experience has needed to find a | place in which it could become the common denominator between |
D:Day36.19 | your awareness slowly in order for you to be able to reach this | place where you may be able to accept this new idea which is simply |
D:Day39.42 | Realize your own expansion, the expansion that has taken | place under the tutelage of Jesus, within the dialogue with |
D:Day40.34 | with each other? Will you carry it with you to level ground—to the | place of completion and demonstration of who you are being? |

C:7.17 | ideas you have, especially those that might make of this a trivial | point or one that is specific and not generalizable. All relationship |

C:21.6 | The embrace can now be likened to the starting | point of a shared language, a language shared by mind and heart and |

C:23.25 | There is no trick to identifying unlearning opportunities. From this | point forward, I assure you, all experiences will be thus until |
C:25.16 | personal self gets out of the way in any instance, it is the turning | point. It is the signal that you are ready to live from love. This is |

C:28.9 | a convincing argument for your point of view, no matter what that | point of view may be, makes what you have come to know pointless to |
C:28.12 | your belief, the need to give form to what is beyond form misses the | point of what you have gained. You may be asking now, “Are you saying |
C:31.9 | even one life. Each life is irreplaceable and no one argues this | point, yet you allow yourself to resist the whole idea of God because |
T1:4.27 | and not due miracles or any other thing or being. I bring up this | point to assure you that this confusion is nothing new, but a |
T1:5.6 | much to be learned from the in-between. It is, however, a starting | point only. |
T1:9.14 | then have been either an emotional one or an intellectual one. The | point here is that the one that is most comfortable and that is |
T2:1.6 | than it is a place at which life stops and death reigns. It is not a | point at which you arrive, never to depart. Rest, when truly learned, |
T2:6.6 | Accomplishment is not an end | point but a given. It is not an outcome but a certainty. It says I am |
T3:2.12 | This is such an important | point for you to grasp that I return you to our comparison of the |
T3:5.7 | of enormous proportions; the greatest sacrifice of all. The | point of the story, however, was not one of sacrifice but one of gift |
T3:12.5 | Realize that prior to this | point, our goal was returning to your awareness the truth of your |
T3:14.10 | If there are things that you, at this | point, still hold to yourself and call unforgivable, now is the time |
T3:14.13 | make for yourself no cause to prolong it. The past is but a starting | point for the future. Just as we talked of the consequences of blame |
T3:17.8 | time of illusion is now called to an end. What is finite has an end | point and this is that end point for the time of illusion. The return |
T3:17.8 | to an end. What is finite has an end point and this is that end | point for the time of illusion. The return of Christ, or your ability |
T3:21.23 | the truth. As has been said many times, willingness is the starting | point and as can be surely understood, where one is willing another |
T4:2.8 | I belabor this | point because you literally cannot proceed to full awareness while |
T4:2.9 | I also belabor this | point because those of you familiar with the Bible, upon hearing |
T4:2.25 | Yet we have strayed here from the overriding | point of what I have revealed to you. A new relationship now exists |
T4:8.1 | was not some separate “you” or some species without form who at some | point in time chose to express love in physical form, and so began |
T4:8.5 | Creation in form had a starting | point. This is the nature of everything that lives in form. It has a |
T4:8.5 | is the nature of everything that lives in form. It has a starting | point from which it grows into its time of fullness. Creation on the |
T4:9.5 | time coming. You have realized that your learning has reached an end | point. The excitement of new learning is not lasting because it is |
T4:9.5 | seems to be nothing new to be said, nothing to move you beyond this | point that you have reached in your understanding of the truth. All |
T4:10.14 | for you have become who you are and move on from this starting | point to creating who you are anew in unity and relationship. You can |
T4:12.2 | all new means of doing anything, this dialogue must have a starting | point. This is it. |
T4:12.17 | This is just a beginning | point of your ability to see what learned wisdom has wrought. This is |
T4:12.17 | to see what learned wisdom has wrought. This is a necessary end | point of your review of your experience here so that you do not |
D:5.6 | is to desire joining. This desire was created to remind you—to | point the way—to your true desire for your true identity as a being |
D:5.9 | the return to what is and we but proceed from this starting | point. |
D:5.19 | rather than as you have perceived it to be. From this starting | point only can we move forward to the future we create together. |
D:6.1 | you were participating in. Eventually your learning reached an end | point as the learning goal of this Course was met, and this you were |
D:6.2 | to the unreal, the false to the true, fear to love—in order to | point out the insanity of your perception and the perfect sanity of |
D:11.16 | an important man among many important men. Those who do so miss the | point of the life of Jesus just as they miss the point of their own |
D:11.16 | who do so miss the point of the life of Jesus just as they miss the | point of their own lives. Those who do so seek to make individual |
D:12.11 | it is the pattern, not the ego, that is still with you. The second | point is that although thinking does not serve you, you do have, |
D:15.22 | of climbers who accompanied you on your ascent. And at this highest | point of the highest peak of the highest mountain, you pause and |
D:16.12 | a cause for disappointment. Perhaps you thought you were beyond this | point of becoming. And yet, as you have begun your practice of |
D:Day1.14 | accepted, and lived the teachings that have brought you to this | point which I now would like to lead you beyond, the world would be a |
D:Day2.13 | I could give thousands of examples here, but the | point is that we are not looking for degrees of wrong-actions, or |
D:Day3.5 | So our first | point of discussion in the realm of anger is that no matter where |
D:Day3.30 | health while at the same time dreading the disease that may at any | point take it from you, those of you who have money see it in the |
D:Day3.40 | an association in regards to entry, you would likely say the entry | point was the mind. This is, in a sense, true, as wholeheartedness is |
D:Day3.40 | do not advance our discussion now and can be returned to later. The | point here is your “concept” or idea about what you have gained from |
D:Day3.43 | Do you not see? You are the entry | point, the only channel through which all that is available in unity |
D:Day4.58 | Here is the beginning | point from which we continue to burn away the remnants of attachment |
D:Day5.1 | A | point of access will no longer be needed once full entry is attained, |
D:Day5.1 | Even though it will not be permanently needed, however, this | point of access will remain crucial as long as you maintain rather |
D:Day5.1 | as long as you maintain rather than sustain the state of unity. This | point of access will thus now be discussed, both as an initial entry |
D:Day5.1 | point of access will thus now be discussed, both as an initial entry | point and as a continued entry point so that it is available to you |
D:Day5.1 | discussed, both as an initial entry point and as a continued entry | point so that it is available to you until it is no longer needed. |
D:Day5.2 | For each of you this access | point will in truth be the same, but perhaps quite different in the |
D:Day5.2 | you use in order to enter it. For those of you who have felt the | point of entry to be the mind in experiences already registered, |
D:Day5.3 | not your body, the idea of what originates “within” coming from a | point beyond the body is not now too unbelievable to contemplate. |
D:Day5.4 | Thus we begin with what feels natural to you. We give access a focal | point in the realm of form. |
D:Day5.5 | This focal | point must be of your own choosing. Your point of access may be your |
D:Day5.5 | This focal point must be of your own choosing. Your | point of access may be your head, or a place just above or to the |
D:Day5.5 | them givens and choose what feels most natural to you as a focal | point for your focus on access. |
D:Day5.9 | your body, it will be helpful to have identified this chosen access | point for unity even while remembering it is not of the body alone. |
D:Day5.13 | While you do not consider yourself as having or needing an “access” | point to love, and while you may treat love still as an individual |
D:Day5.16 | A “healer” for instance, might, thus, feel her access | point as being the hands and express what is gained through unity by |
D:Day5.21 | more specifically to our focus on access. Wherever your chosen | point of access lies, imagine now the needle that was discussed as |
D:Day5.21 | the onion in the Course chapter “The Intersection,” and imagine the | point of intersection connecting with your chosen access point. |
D:Day5.21 | imagine the point of intersection connecting with your chosen access | point. Imagine this now, not as a needle but as the wisdom you seek. |
D:Day5.21 | thinking and feeling that we used the onion to illustrate, but as a | point of entry and pass-through. What comes of unity enters you and |
D:Day5.25 | awareness of breath that comes from the focus of meditation. A focus | point is a point of convergence. A focal point is a point of |
D:Day5.25 | breath that comes from the focus of meditation. A focus point is a | point of convergence. A focal point is a point of intersection that |
D:Day5.25 | of meditation. A focus point is a point of convergence. A focal | point is a point of intersection that gives rise to a clear image. |
D:Day5.25 | A focus point is a point of convergence. A focal point is a | point of intersection that gives rise to a clear image. |
D:Day5.26 | here is that of pass-through. Although we have spoken of this focal | point as an entryway, this does not imply that something that is not |
D:Day6.1 | We are in an in-between state of time. We stand at the intersection | point of the finite and the infinite in order to complete the |
D:Day6.4 | and expression coming together. We have further spoken of your | point of access to unity as one of convergence, intersection, and |
D:Day6.7 | that inspires the creator to see these words as lyrics. At some | point after this gestation within the mind and heart, the artist puts |
D:Day6.7 | step of the process, or only late in its development. But at some | point, the sharing will take place, and the reactions of those with |
D:Day6.7 | or to be more determined than ever to see the piece through to the | point where it will be appreciated. Finishing touches will be put on |
D:Day6.8 | piece of art that comes to completion includes a choice. At some | point along the way a commitment is made between the artist and the |
D:Day6.14 | experience nothing but our relationship, focus on nothing but your | point of access, have a chance to really begin to invite abundance |
D:Day6.18 | life. Changes you feel called to make are not discouraged here. The | point being made is simply that removal from life is not possible or |
D:Day6.22 | The | point here, however, is this: Quit trying to remove yourself from |
D:Day6.30 | or think you learn, the qualities that will allow this. This is the | point of movement, being, and expression coming together. The point |
D:Day6.30 | is the point of movement, being, and expression coming together. The | point of convergence, intersection, and pass-through. This is it! |
D:Day8.3 | But here is the | point that needs clearing up. This is not about acceptance of what |
D:Day10.9 | of insight—intuition that causes you to make connections between | point A and point B, be point A and point B distinct points in a |
D:Day10.9 | —intuition that causes you to make connections between point A and | point B, be point A and point B distinct points in a scientific |

D:Day10.9 | you to make connections between point A and point B, be point A and | point B distinct points in a scientific puzzle or murky points about |
D:Day10.19 | Thus I will speak to you from this | point onward as the voice of Christ-consciousness, the voice of your |
D:Day10.19 | consciousness of the man I once was because you were, prior to this | point, unready to give up image for presence, the individual for the |
D:Day10.19 | yourself, Jesus for Christ-consciousness. You needed the reference | point of a “person,” of a being who had lived and breathed and met |
D:Day10.22 | is what both of these statements mean. This is the culmination | point of these two great objectives coming together in you and your |
D:Day10.23 | I will still be with you to | point the way, but if you can cease to think of this as the wisdom of |
D:Day14.13 | the power that is yours. This one voice of the many will continue to | point the way for only a short time longer. Thus the voice of the |
D:Day15.11 | necessary to this next step. One reason is that it allows a starting | point for your practice. While it is possible to practice observance |
D:Day31.3 | and the experiencer, the knower and the known. This joining is the | point of the experience and the key to experiencing wholeness. |

A.39 | is between you and I more so than has been the coursework up to this | point. It is a time of realizing that “I” am speaking to “you” |

C:19.19 | Out of the deepest, darkest chaos of your mind comes the | possibility of light. It is a bit like traveling backward, or the |
C:26.3 | punished for such folly. Such fear of greatness and glory, of the | possibility of a fall from greatness and glory, results in many |
T4:2.22 | some concept of unity or oneness, but you have also denied even the | possibility of experiencing your own direct relationship with God, or |

C:P.11 | in hell rather than choosing heaven. You accept what you view as | possible and reject what you perceive as impossible. You thus cling |
C:P.14 | before but still governed by insanity, a world in which it seems | possible to help a few others but certainly not all others, but to |
C:2.4 | Love is the name you give to much you fear. You think that it is | possible to choose it as a means to buy your safety and security. You |
C:2.5 | cannot be taught but only recognized, how is this recognition made | possible? Through love’s effects. For cause and effect are one. |
C:2.19 | that living with such fantasies does not work and will not ever be | possible here. |
C:4.6 | of terror and confusion so rampant that no toehold of security is | possible, and day turns endlessly into night in a long march toward |
C:5.15 | you see as real is the one you keep outside of yourself, making it | possible to look upon it with your body’s eyes. The one you do not |
C:5.21 | which you make real in your creation of the world. The only meaning | possible for free will is this: what you choose to join with you, and |
C:6.2 | what is impossible until the end of your days but you cannot make it | possible. Why not forgive the world for being other than what you |
C:6.3 | world have come to teach you, stated as simply and directly as is | possible. You are neither separate nor alone and never were and never |
C:6.14 | most. To not succeed at life would indeed be a failure if it were | possible for it to be so. Yet even this possibility you would cling |
C:6.14 | come to see in your separated state makes only either/or situations | possible. While a choice for heaven is indeed a choice to renounce |
C:7.17 | We must return now to relationship and correct as quickly as | possible any erroneous ideas you have, especially those that might |
C:8.13 | a piece of yourself and realize the unity that is your home? Were it | possible to exist in unity and still withhold, unity would be a |
C:10.8 | but to encourage you not to give up. Your purpose now is the holiest | possible and all of heaven is with you. All that is needed is your |
C:10.16 | need not make. As your learning advances you will see that this is | possible, but there may be reasons not to choose this. At this point, |
C:11.8 | you guard most closely, knowing this is what made the separation | possible. You regard it as your one protection from God, the one |
C:12.4 | We have said before the only meaning | possible for your free will is your choice of what to join with and |
C:17.10 | that has happened in creation. This is how the impossible has become | possible. If you were not so determined to believe correction cannot |

T1:3.23 | Surely to believe that where one miracle worked another might be | possible would be to have ideas of grandeur not meant for you. Here |

T3:8.12 | People have looked for what they have imagined it was | possible to find. Why would you look for an end to suffering if you |
T3:10.2 | first lesson is offered as an exercise in forgetting. As often as is | possible within your daily life, I ask you to forget as much of what |
T3:14.2 | old would not be broken. Suffering and strife would still seem to be | possible. You would merely look back after the interlude had passed |

T4:1.13 | are beginning to believe might be possible is possible, and has been | possible, are you to look on all of those who have come before you as |
T4:1.13 | What a perverse God. If an end to suffering and fear has been | possible, and is possible, why has it not come to be? Why has it not |

T4:5.9 | is the meaning of free will. Free will does not make the impossible | possible. It makes the possible probable. It is thus probable that |
T4:5.9 | will. Free will does not make the impossible possible. It makes the | possible probable. It is thus probable that you will use your free |

D:2.19 | patterns have become so entrenched that no new learning is seen as | possible or desirable even though the systems and patterns are known |
D:4.12 | Divine patterns are the patterns that made your existence in form | possible as well as the patterns that have made your return to your |
D:4.12 | as the patterns that have made your return to your true identity | possible. These patterns are both external and internal. External |
D:4.26 | and no place else. It is up to you to accept that your release is | possible, to desire it without fear, to call it into being. |
D:5.8 | you have been told that the ego has represented a false self—it is | possible to misrepresent. But the new world you have entered need not |

D:11.15 | you? Is it not infinitely greater than the contributions that are | possible for the individual, separated self to make? Is not the |

D:Day2.15 | But just as you are called here to accept me despite | possible misgivings such as religious beliefs, you are called to |
D:Day2.15 | you one final example in order to make our discussion as clear as | possible. |
D:Day6.18 | here. The point being made is simply that removal from life is not | possible or desirable. |
D:Day9.11 | As was said earlier, all of your images are false images. Isn’t it | possible that none are more false than this image of an ideal self? |
D:Day10.12 | or habits must be done away with before achievement of a new way is | possible. |
D:Day13.8 | Once fear is gone, true relationship is not only | possible but inevitable. True relationship exists naturally in the |
D:Day14.1 | in the spacious Self. Acceptance is necessary because escape is not | possible. Everything that is, is with us, which is why we are the |
D:Day14.1 | the sick or wounded self. It is your acceptance that escape is not | possible that will lead you out of forgetfulness to remembrance. It |
D:Day15.11 | is that it allows a starting point for your practice. While it is | possible to practice observance in every situation, it is necessary |
D:Day21.3 | it has always been the action of the receiver that made learning | possible. The receiver was thus also the source because the receiver |

D:Day28.18 | within time because only within time is the experience of separation | possible, and experience is where the power of transformation lies. |
D:Day28.23 | The key to this movement is the simple realization that it is | possible. This is what our time on the mountain has provided you |
D:Day35.5 | So you might ask, was it once | possible for you to be so unaware of your being that you were not |
D:Day36.2 | would live your life from within the realm of what you considered | possible. You did so continuously. This was the way in which you |
D:Day37.9 | or beingness that you share. And further, you realize that what is | possible is for you to become the one being of compassion that you |
D:Day37.11 | Source, but division, like differentiation or individuation, is only | possible in union and relationship. Two separate numbers, with no |

C:16.21 | only through legitimate channels and do not want those who have no | power to possess it through the same weapons or might that you claim |
C:16.21 | those in authority powerful. While you want those you have given | power to protect you, you also fear them, and they in turn fear the |
C:16.21 | them, and they in turn fear the powerless who might take away their | power or rise up against them. What kind of power is it that needs to |
C:16.21 | might take away their power or rise up against them. What kind of | power is it that needs to be constantly defended? What is it about |
C:16.21 | by might or any authority that can be given and taken away. | Power is possessed by those who claim it. By those who cry I am. For |
C:16.21 | by those who claim it. By those who cry I am. For the beginning of | power comes from the rejection of powerlessness. The rejection of |
C:16.22 | What misery the world has suffered in the name of judgment, | power, and justice. What misery can be avoided by finding the true |
C:16.22 | power, and justice. What misery can be avoided by finding the true | power inherent in your identity. For you are not powerless. Those of |
C:16.22 | not powerless. Those of you who think you have traditional means of | power on your side turn not to your own power, and then you wonder |

C:16.22 | instead of looking for it elsewhere. Your perception but looks at | power backward and wonders why God has forsaken a people who seem to |
C:16.23 | forsakes no people, but people forsake God when they give away their | power and claim not their birthright. Your birthright is simply the |
C:16.23 | to be who you are, and there is nothing in the world that has the | power to take this right from you. The only way you lose it is by |
C:16.24 | God wants no sacrifice from you, yet when you give away your | power you make of yourself a sacrificial lamb, an offering onto God |
C:16.24 | but in different form. If a talented physician were to give up his | power to heal you would surely call it a waste, and yet you give up |
C:16.24 | 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 life is. You |
C:16.24 | 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 it to, for you |
C:16.24 | have given it to, for you are afraid of nothing more than your own | power. |
C:16.25 | This fear but stems from what you have used your | power for. You know your power created the world of illusion in which |
C:16.25 | fear but stems from what you have used your power for. You know your | power created the world of illusion in which you live, and so you |

C:16.26 | amount of love for your own Self, then neither can you claim your | power, for they go hand-in-hand. There is no “common good” as you |
C:18.10 | on the basis of your perception of yourself and the limited range of | power you believe your decision making to have. The only way to make |
C:18.18 | separation did. Wholeheartedness is but a full expression of your | power. A full expression of your power is creation. What has been |
C:18.18 | is but a full expression of your power. A full expression of your | power is creation. What has been created cannot be uncreated. What |
C:19.3 | experience. Your free will has not been taken from you, nor has the | power of creation abandoned you. Within creation’s own laws does the |
C:19.4 | the one mind united with God which you have never left. Creation’s | power then returns to you to help all the separated ones remember |
C:19.12 | my lifetime, for they looked at me as different and looked to me for | power. Only after my resurrection did the Holy Spirit come upon them |

C:20.28 | Power is the expression of who you are. Because you are changeless | |
C:20.28 | To know who you are and not to express who you are with your full | power is the result of fear. To know the safety and love of the |

C:20.32 | Acceptance of your true | power is acceptance of your God-given authority via your free will. |
C:20.32 | nature of my brothers and sisters as caused by fear. To accept your | power and your God-given authority is to know what you do. Let the |
C:27.18 | of the relationship of all things mean that you will have | power that is not of this world? Will you see the future and the |
C:27.18 | and the past, be cognizant of destiny and of fate? You do have | power that is not of this world, but this does not mean power as you |

T1:3.9 | miracles. Here you find your greatest fear of all; fear of your | power. |
T1:3.11 | only would your passing of this test require you to contemplate your | power, but your failure would require you to contemplate your lack of |
T1:3.20 | such a fanciful idea as that of your being convinced of your own | power. How could this possibly be important? Even were you to possess |
T1:3.20 | How could this possibly be important? Even were you to possess such | power, surely it is a power that is of God and needs not you for its |
T1:3.20 | be important? Even were you to possess such power, surely it is a | power that is of God and needs not you for its accomplishment. Better |
T1:3.20 | such things. Even the thought of it leads you to ideas of magic and | power that is not of this world and thus that must have a dark side |
T1:4.11 | idea of responsibility sprang from the ego-mind that would usurp the | power of God. What kind of gift arrives with a demand for the |
T1:5.2 | two-fold fear that must be looked at carefully now and with all the | power of the art of thought. One aspect of this fear has to do with |
T1:6.5 | such as these emanate from either heart or mind and have not the | power of the wholehearted. Prayers such as these emanate from the |

T2:4.9 | is a rejection of your power. What is required to claim your | power is the willingness to move through the conflict of two opposing |
T2:11.4 | given many names and many faces and the only thing given by you the | power to do battle with the truth, or with God. Remember now and |
T2:11.7 | understanding that all that is real is shared does the ego lose its | power. The ego was made from the belief in separation and all that |
T2:11.15 | have continue? Does this not but reveal to you a fraction of the | power of your thinking and its ability to shape the world you see? |
T2:12.2 | the false from the true, you were not able to receive the | power of miracles. |
T2:12.3 | The | power of miracles is but the culmination and the integration of the |

T3:8.1 | great power is still a worthy goal and many of you have reached this | power. You can see why this power has been necessary and continues to |
T3:8.1 | goal and many of you have reached this power. You can see why this | power has been necessary and continues to be necessary. But to stop |

T3:8.1 | at this dismantling power is not enough. To stop at this dismantling | power would be to leave the world in its present condition and your |
T3:11.12 | it can at times be a chosen heaven. Choice and the awareness of the | power of choice that exists within is all that differentiates one |
T3:21.24 | 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 the savior |
T4:2.16 | they are is present even though it might seem not to be? This is the | power of the devotion of the observant that you are called to, the |
T4:2.16 | power of the devotion of the observant that you are called to, the | power of cause and its effect. This is the power you now have within |
T4:2.16 | you are called to, the power of cause and its effect. This is the | power you now have within you, the power to observe the truth rather |
T4:2.16 | cause and its effect. This is the power you now have within you, the | power to observe the truth rather than illusion. This is the power to |
T4:2.16 | the power to observe the truth rather than illusion. This is the | power to observe what is. This is Christ-consciousness. |
T4:2.17 | I repeat, this is the | power to observe what is. It is not about observing a potential for |
T4:2.17 | way that has been shown to you. It is about observing what is. The | power to observe what is is what will keep you unified with your |
T4:2.17 | and sisters rather than separating you from them. There is no | power without this unity. You cannot see “others” as other than who |
T4:2.17 | You cannot see “others” as other than who they are and know your | power. You must see as I see and see that all are chosen. |

T4:4.4 | parent coming into his or her inheritance or time of fullness. The | power and prestige, the earthly wealth of the parent, passed |
T4:4.5 | of inheritance was an even stronger idea, an idea with much more | power than in current times. Inherent within the idea of inheritance |

T4:12.34 | new. Your former willingness to accept the old but kept creation’s | power harnessed to the old. Does this not make perfect sense when you |
T4:12.36 | also make no mistake that what is given to us is everything. All the | power of creation is released onto us. Let us begin. |

D:15.13 | would be like trying to catch the wind. But just as the wind can | power many machines endlessly when it is allowed pass-through, so too |
D:17.7 | caused your arms to raise as if of their own accord. You feel the | power of giving and receiving as one, for this is what this gesture |
D:17.12 | That response is wholehearted desire, which is the | power that A Course of Love came to return to you. You were told |
D:Day1.11 | Many people now are discovering the | power of healing. Some think this power comes from one source and |
D:Day1.11 | Many people now are discovering the power of healing. Some think this | power comes from one source and some from another. You may think |
D:Day1.11 | one source and some from another. You may think that, as long as the | power is called forth, it matters not the name by which it is called. |
D:Day1.11 | many choices. You may think these choices matter not, but only the | power of the healer. Some of you may see this example as an example |
D:Day1.11 | not need to accept me. You may claim that you understand that this | power is of God, whether it be the power of granting life to grow |
D:Day1.11 | that you understand that this power is of God, whether it be the | power of granting life to grow within the womb, or the power of |
D:Day1.11 | it be 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 |
D:Day1.11 | withered or broken. You may wonder why it should 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 |
D:Day1.12 | not. The power of God is not what is being spoken of here. It is our | power that is being spoken of here. The power of the god man. The |
D:Day1.12 | spoken of 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 |
D:Day1.12 | 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 rather than |
D:Day1.12 | The power of the god man. The power of God brought into form. The | power of who we are rather than the power of who God is. |
D:Day1.12 | of God brought into form. The power of who we are rather than the | power of who God is. |

D:Day3.20 | The | power of money to affect you is a power that is denied, rarely |
D:Day3.20 | The power of money to affect you is a | power that is denied, rarely acknowledged, seldom spoken of. Think |
D:Day8.8 | All | power to effect change comes from acceptance—not acceptance of the |
D:Day8.24 | Let me repeat a passage from that Treatise here, a passage about the | power to observe what is. “It is not about observing a potential for |
D:Day8.24 | way that has been shown to you. It is about observing what is. The | power to observe what is, is what will keep you unified with your |
D:Day8.24 | and sisters rather than separating you from them. There is no | power without this unity. You cannot see ‘others’ as other than who |
D:Day8.24 | You cannot see ‘others’ as other than who they are and know your | power.” |
D:Day9.20 | If you do not realize your freedom, you will not realize your | power. |
D:Day9.33 | be your confidence. Only these combined abilities will release your | power. |
D:Day10.1 | Power is the ability to be cause and effect. It is the ability to | |
D:Day10.1 | cause and effect. It is the ability to harness the cause and effect | power of love. It is a quality of form as well as a quality of union. |
D:Day10.1 | well as a quality of union. Form is the ultimate expression of the | power of creation. The power of creation, harnessed by form in the |
D:Day10.1 | union. Form is the ultimate expression of the power of creation. The | power of creation, harnessed by form in the service of form is the |
D:Day10.1 | form in the service of form is the next step in the expansion of the | power of creation. It is the power of the elevated Self of form. |
D:Day10.1 | the next step in the expansion of the power of creation. It is the | power of the elevated Self of form. |
D:Day10.2 | the confidence of the self of form? Certainty is knowing that this | power exists. Confidence is the expression of your reliance upon it. |
D:Day10.2 | is the expression of your reliance upon it. To rely on your own | power is to rely on the connection that exists between the self of |
D:Day10.24 | for it is a key to your understanding of your Self and your | power. This dialogue, as one-sided as it may seem when presented in |
D:Day10.31 | love. As a man, I took a stand for the powerless and called them to | power. I am still doing so. Not because any of you are powerless but |
D:Day10.31 | because any of you are powerless but because you do not know your | power. If there is one thing associated with my life more so than any |
D:Day10.31 | than any other, it was this. I was an advocate for all to know their | power. Do you think that my advocacy was a social statement for the |
D:Day10.32 | that I called for during my life. It is the call to embrace your | power. |
D:Day10.33 | they lead you, remember one thing only. Remember to embrace your | power. The power of love is the cause and effect that will change the |
D:Day10.33 | you, remember one thing only. Remember to embrace your power. The | power of love is the cause and effect that will change the world by |
D:Day10.34 | The | power you must come to rely upon is the power of your own Self to |
D:Day10.34 | The power you must come to rely upon is the | power of your own Self to create and express the cause and effect |
D:Day10.34 | your own Self to create and express the cause and effect that is the | power of love. |
D:Day10.35 | might—has been shown to be unfounded, a new source of reliable | power is finally sought with the tenacity with which these other |
D:Day10.35 | sought with the tenacity with which these other sources of seeming | power have been sought. This is what has occurred. This is the time |
D:Day10.37 | them along with you. You are means and end. It is within your | power to be saviors of the world. It is from within that your power |
D:Day10.37 | your power to be saviors of the world. It is from within that your | power will save the world. |
D:Day10.38 | anything, your happiness, your peace, and your acceptance of the | power that will cause these things to come to be. Yet I know you and |
D:Day14.6 | have called your “own,” you are now given the task of claiming your | power as your own. All that is within your power is within your |
D:Day14.6 | the task of claiming your power as your own. All that is within your | power is within your power. Your power is the power of the many and |
D:Day14.6 | your power as your own. All that is within your power is within your | power. Your power is the power of the many and the one that exist in |
D:Day14.6 | your own. All that is within your power is within your power. Your | power is the power of the many and the one that exist in wholeness |
D:Day14.6 | that is within your power is within your power. Your power is the | power of the many and the one that exist in wholeness within the |
D:Day14.13 | You must now own this dialogue—own it as you own the | power that is yours. This one voice of the many will continue to |
D:Day15.10 | This is the new realm of | power that few in physical form have practiced and that has never |
D:Day15.10 | spacious Self in oneness and wholeness must precede this step. This | power cannot be misused because it is unavailable to those who have |
D:Day15.11 | state for full-scale interaction with the world. Although this | power cannot be misused, to have access to this power in one instance |
D:Day15.11 | world. Although this power cannot be misused, to have access to this | power in one instance and not another as you move in and out of the |
D:Day15.13 | be generated by the joining of spacious Selves? Do you fear your | power even though you have been told it cannot be misused? Do you |
D:Day17.8 | given components are necessary for wholeness. Representation of the | power of Christ-consciousness in human form was necessary to complete |
D:Day18.5 | light. Those who accept completion of the way of Jesus accept their | power to be generators of light in darkness without judging or |
D:Day18.5 | in darkness without judging or expelling darkness. They accept their | power to represent both the known and the unknown and to reveal the |
D:Day19.5 | to live as who they are within the world. Until they realize the | power of reflection, they wonder why they, unlike their brothers and |
D:Day20.9 | of the One Self can be made known, then you are the source and the | power of coming to know and making known. |
D:Day24.3 | Potential is that which exists. It exists as the | power and energy, the spirit within you. It does not await. It simply |
D:Day24.3 | you. It does not await. It simply is. It can remain as the untapped | power of transformation, or it can be released. The choice is and is |
D:Day24.3 | or it can be released. The choice is and is not yours. This | power is a force of nature that exists, not separately from you, but |
D:Day24.8 | of all the potential that exists. An activated will releases the | power that is potential. Remember potential is that which exists, |
D:Day24.9 | within you. This merging of will and potential is the birth of your | power and the birth of the new. |
D:Day26.1 | It has been said that you are the source and the | power of coming to know and making known. It naturally follows, then, |
D:Day28.18 | the experience of separation possible, and experience is where the | power of transformation lies. This transformation will, however, take |
D:Day29.1 | joy and sadness, sickness and health, all cease to have the limited | power that all such concepts have formerly held. When they cease to |
D:Day29.3 | and relearned or remembered wholehearted desire—the source of your | power. Now this power is available to assist you in accomplishing the |
D:Day29.3 | remembered wholehearted desire—the source of your power. Now this | power is available to assist you in accomplishing the final joining, |
D:Day32.13 | believe differentiates God from man. The example lives in which the | power of God was demonstrated in the lives of men and women are seen |
D:Day32.13 | are seen as little more than pass-through situations in which the | power of God passed through men and women to other men and women. |
D:Day32.19 | the same? Would this answer your questions concerning God’s great | power when compared to your own? Could you see that God’s power stems |
D:Day32.19 | great power when compared to your own? Could you see that God’s | power stems from His relationship to everything rather than from His |
D:Day32.19 | This is the easiest way to say this, if not quite accurate. Being is | power. But being, like oneness, cannot know itself without |
D:Day32.20 | God is the being and the relationship. You are capable of all the | power of God’s being but you are powerful only as God is powerful— |
D:Day32.20 | Because you are in a state of limited relationship, you have limited | power. This is the difference between God and man. This difference, |
D:Day33.1 | As we begin to speak of | power, we must return to the initial idea put forth in “A Treatise on |
D:Day33.1 | on the New”: That all are chosen. To embrace an idea of some having | power while others remain powerless is to embrace an idea laden with |
D:Day33.1 | remain powerless is to embrace an idea laden with conflict. The | power of God exists within everyone because all are one in being with |
D:Day33.1 | within everyone because all are one in being with God. And yet this | power cannot be used. It can only serve. What does it serve? The |
D:Day33.12 | Being is | power. Relationship is powerful. In other words, relationship is the |
D:Day33.12 | is powerful. In other words, relationship is the expression of | power—all the different expressions of power. In the time of Jesus, |
D:Day33.12 | is the expression of power—all the different expressions of | power. In the time of Jesus, the powerful were seen as being blessed |
D:Day33.12 | since all are powerful only in relationship, your relationship to | power must be realized. Those who are powerful have realized their |
D:Day33.12 | realized. Those who are powerful have realized their relationship to | power. Those who see themselves as powerless have not realized their |
D:Day33.12 | see themselves as powerless have not realized their relationship to | power. They have not made it real and so it has not served them. |

C:4.9 | what one has is denied another. While love cannot be learned nor | practiced, there is a practice we must do in order to recognize |
C:25.2 | particular type of participation. It cannot be faked. But it can be | practiced. |
C:25.8 | the idea of one who is devoted, and of those for whom devotion is | practiced, is useful during the time of tenderness. It will lead to |
T3:20.13 | with cause rather than to stray to effect, the manner of living | practiced by those who have birthed the idea that cause and effect |
T4:10.4 | let go of learning because it is here that learning has been least | practiced through the means of studying. |

D:Day3.14 | you from believing that the ideas set forth in this Course, when | practiced, are capable of making a difference, especially in terms of |
D:Day8.12 | this intolerance to others. Once acceptance of the Self begins to be | practiced, you will realize that the self of intolerance was the self |
D:Day15.7 | the difference for which the time has come. The observation you have | practiced has prepared you to move from observation to informing and |
D:Day15.10 | This is the new realm of power that few in physical form have | practiced and that has never been practiced by many at one time. It |
D:Day15.10 | that few in physical form have practiced and that has never been | practiced by many at one time. It is a major shift because it is not |

D:Day15.13 | This cannot be explained in great detail, which is why it must be | practiced. It is to your own authority only that you must appeal for |
D:Day27.5 | you now will carry with you to level ground because you have | practiced during our mountain top time together the ability to |

T2:9.2 | means of practice that assist you in bypassing your ego mind. Some | practices more commonly thought of as tools might be meditation, |
D:Day9.27 | and truth of who you are has been taught out of you by learning | practices that sought for sameness, and saw not your differences as |

C:4.15 | insecure will believe in a partner who would shower him or her with | praise and gifts, with attention never wavering. Another who prizes |
C:25.20 | to create is strong, certainly let it serve you. But do not seek for | praise or acknowledgment of your creations at this time. You will |
T1:4.14 | you 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 |
T2:13.5 | beyond all time and the passing of all form. It is an attitude of | praise and thankfulness that flows between us now. The light of |
D:Day37.22 | feeling bereft of a God you can feel close to, appeal to, thank and | praise. But doing so can also be confusing if it leads to thoughts of |
praises (1) |

C:1.1 | from which all feeling arises. All true feeling is love. All love | praises God. All love is recognition of the glory of God and all God |
pray (13) |

C:P.2 | Pray for all those in need of miracles. To pray is to ask. But for | |
C:P.2 | Pray for all those in need of miracles. To | pray is to ask. But for what are you asking? This is the first |
C:20.38 | it will come. Hope is the reason and the outcome for which we | pray. Hope acknowledges the kindliness of the universe and has no use |
C:25.1 | To be devoted is to be prayerful. As we said in the beginning, to | pray is to ask for all to be included in what you do. Devotion is |
C:27.16 | not known the proper response to make? You even wonder as you | pray whether you should pray for specific outcomes or for God’s Will |
C:27.16 | response to make? You even wonder as you pray whether you should | pray for specific outcomes or for God’s Will to be done. You fear |
T1:4.3 | A Course of Love began with an injunction to | pray. A Course in Miracles began with a definition of miracles. Both |
T1:6.6 | To | pray out of fear is not to pray at all, because such prayer chooses |
T1:6.6 | To pray out of fear is not to | pray at all, because such prayer chooses not the union that is the |
T1:6.6 | such prayer chooses not the union that is the prerequisite. To | pray out of fear is to ask from an unreal state of lack for what is |
T3:20.7 | to offer hope, or for drugs that would ease suffering, and you might | pray that God spare this one from a future seemingly already written, |
D:Day4.43 | to revisit it when the need arises? Are you here to fast and | pray only to have to return when you have once again become a glutton |
D:Day4.43 | a glutton of want, when you once again feel the lack that you would | pray for? Surely this you can do, for I deny no one the journey to |
prayed (2) |
||
C:26.11 | be given a goal that would fulfill the longing in you? Have you not | prayed for signs? Read books that have promised you a series of steps |
D:Day4.34 | It is said that during my forty days and forty nights I meditated or | prayed. It is said that I fasted. You have been told that you are |
prayer (32) |
||
C:19.17 | be trained to do this. Thus your training begins. And begins with | prayer. |
C:19.18 | you will find yourself more afraid to ask. All your asking or | prayer awaits is but your belief in the love without fear that has |
C:29.21 | entirely different place than decision-making. Claiming is akin to | prayer and is but an asking, an asking for your true inheritance. You |
T1:4.3 | in Miracles began with a definition of miracles. Both are the same. | Prayer and the art of thought are the same. This should serve to make |
T1:6.2 | place? It will begin by learning the art of thought as the act of | prayer. We have spoken already of memory here, and have presented the |
T1:6.2 | and recollecting that are involved with memory as acts of creation. | Prayer is but reproducing and recollecting a divine memory and divine |
T1:6.2 | cannot help but produce a divine outcome. Said in another way, | prayer reproduces the truth and allows the truth to exist as it is. |
T1:6.2 | prayer reproduces the truth and allows the truth to exist as it is. | Prayer does this because it is the act of consciously choosing union. |
T1:6.3 | Thus | prayer must be redefined as the act of consciously choosing union. |
T1:6.3 | union. With this definition, you can see how your life can become a | prayer. This does not negate the fact that a prayer is also a |
T1:6.3 | your life can become a prayer. This does not negate the fact that a | prayer is also a constant dialogue of asking, being answered, and |
T1:6.3 | of asking, being answered, and responding. This is the aspect of | prayer that makes of it an act of creation. |
T1:6.4 | Prayer and miracles work hand-in-hand once both are seen for what | |
T1:6.4 | God. Thus your concentration must not stray back to old concepts of | prayer or of reaching God through the intercession of prayer as if |
T1:6.4 | concepts of prayer or of reaching God through the intercession of | prayer as if God were separate from you and accessible only through a |
T1:6.4 | of communication. You can see, perhaps, how this attitude toward | prayer came about, as it is, like much you have learned, close to the |
T1:6.5 | To use | prayer only as a means of reaching out to a god seen as separate is |
T1:6.5 | as separate is to attempt to use what cannot be used. Such ideas of | prayer have had credence because this reaching out does at least |
T1:6.5 | recognize that there is something to reach out to. Such ideas of | prayer have long been opening doors for those who are ready to walk |
T1:6.5 | real relationship with God and Self. But this is not the concept of | prayer of which we speak nor one that can reasonably be called a way |
T1:6.6 | To pray out of fear is not to pray at all, because such | prayer chooses not the union that is the prerequisite. To pray out of |
T1:6.6 | of lack for what is seen as missing or desired. In contrast, true | prayer, formed in union, is a means of creating, recollecting, or |
T2:11.15 | against the ego-self. This is highly akin to your former notion of | prayer and assumes that there is something real that you need defense |
T2:12.7 | The power of thought and the power of | prayer, once aligned, call constantly upon the same power of |
T3:22.14 | we have referred to as “closed eyes” observation, can be likened to | prayer and thus to the miracle. This is the very miracle that closes |
D:1.21 | These Dialogues begin with | prayer to remind you of what you have learned in unity, a learning |
D:6.11 | that what is proven can be disproved—and often is. Thus the | prayer of the Native Americans who thank the sun for rising each day |
D:6.11 | of the Native Americans who thank the sun for rising each day is a | prayer that acknowledges that the sun may not rise. This is not a |
D:6.27 | redefined the miracle as the art of thought, or the continual act of | prayer that sustains the unity of Christ-consciousness. |
D:Day1.2 | spoken of here. Acceptance is. Acceptance is not belief, it is not | prayer. I care not in what form of the truth you believe, nor to what |
D:Day8.5 | externals, but of internals. We are not talking of the old adage or | prayer that calls you to “accept what you cannot change” but of |
D:Day37.16 | heaven and earth, and even some possibility of communication through | prayer or other experiential means. But this is still a relationship |
prayerful (2) |
||
C:25.1 | to an objective is a vow to accomplish. To be devoted is to be | prayerful. As we said in the beginning, to pray is to ask for all to |
prayerfulness (1) |
||
C:9.38 | In one activity you express your creativity and in another your | prayerfulness. Like a diversified investment portfolio, you think |
prayers (4) |
||
T1:6.5 | reasonably be called a way of life or likened to the art of thought. | Prayers such as these emanate from either heart or mind and have not |
T1:6.5 | either heart or mind and have not the power of the wholehearted. | Prayers such as these emanate from the state of fear that is the |
D:Day1.2 | of the truth you believe, nor to what god you believe you send your | prayers; although if you do not believe in your Self above a form of |
D:Day1.2 | in your Self above a form of truth, and if you continue to send your | prayers to a god who is other than you, you will not cross the |
praying (3) |
||
C:P.2 | readiness: asking for all to be included in what we do here. By | praying for all those in need of miracles you are praying for all to |
C:P.2 | we do here. By praying for all those in need of miracles you are | praying for all to learn as you learn, you are asking to link your |
C:19.18 | As was said in the beginning, | praying is asking. You but asked for your separated state and it was |
pre-judge (1) |
||
D:Day8.6 | Yet to state that you do not like your job is to | pre-judge your job, to assume that the conditions you did not like |
preached (3) |
||
C:12.2 | is the answer, as if it has not been said before. This message was | preached long ago and still the world remains the same. How could |
C:26.1 | It is often spoken of with some amazement that I lived a short life, | preached for only a small part of it, traveled not very far, had few |
T1:2.3 | have asked concerning how love could be the answer when it has been | preached by so many for so long is answered here. The answer lies in |
precede (5) |
||
D:14.15 | the time of becoming, the time of becoming the new you which must | precede creation of the new world. For as it has been said: As |
D:16.13 | you. This is the creation of the new you that you were told will | precede the creation of the new world. This is what is meant by “as |
D:Day9.5 | speak? The confidence to be yourself. This confidence is what must | precede true certainty in this time of elevation of the self of form. |
D:Day10.32 | But this response will not be generated without the feelings that | precede them! When speaking of gossip we used a simple example of a |
D:Day15.10 | of the self with the spacious Self in oneness and wholeness must | precede this step. This power cannot be misused because it is |
preceded (7) |
||
C:5.12 | into, that love exists. Every joining, every entering into, is | preceded by a suspension of judgment. Thus what is judged cannot be |
C:12.22 | not proceed in reality but only in the external aspect of life that | preceded it. The idea of separation changed nothing in reality, but |
T3:12.1 | “I am” is a statement of awareness of consciousness. Awareness | preceded the statement of “I am.” “I am” preceded the creation of the |
T3:12.1 | of consciousness. Awareness preceded the statement of “I am.” “I am” | preceded the creation of the Self. The Self preceded the |
T3:12.1 | of “I am.” “I am” preceded the creation of the Self. The Self | preceded the establishment of the personal self. |
D:Day1.27 | succeeded my baptism and my acknowledgment as the Son of God, and | preceded my time of living as my Self in the world. So too does it |
D:Day2.14 | You have all been through the time of tenderness, the time that | preceded your giving and receiving of forgiveness, your request for |
precedence (2) |
||
C:30.14 | laws of God. It is only in your perception that the laws of man take | precedence over the laws of God. Since perception arises from the |
D:Day32.12 | be reconciled or joined in harmony. Either the self or God takes | precedence in all lives. All lives. There is no other choice as long |

T4:1.6 | about exclusivity? I am using this word specifically because of the | precedent of its use historically. Many different groups believe they |

T3:14.13 | why you cannot hang onto the past? The new cannot have historical | precedents. This is why you have been assured that what you are |

T3:11.10 | of judgment has been stressed many times, and we have adhered to the | precept of not judging by denying any right or wrong, the difference |
precepts (3) |

T3:22.1 | the truth will take you, for surely your life must change. The very | precepts put forth within this Course, precepts that say that the |
T3:22.1 | life must change. The very precepts put forth within this Course, | precepts that say that the internal affects the external, seem as |
T3:22.4 | to be. This tension will continue if you are unable to integrate two | precepts of this course of learning into your new reality. One is the |
precipice (2) |
||
C:P.16 | your path and the end of the journey is in sight. You stand at the | precipice with a view of the new world glittering with all the beauty |
C:P.23 | Seekers are but another category of those who at the | precipice act as if they have hit a wall rather than come across a |
precise (1) |
||
A.18 | as much as possible, but each will feel it to some degree, the | precise degree to which they are capable of giving up reliance on |
precisely (11) |
||
C:P.23 | as if they have hit a wall rather than come across a bridge. It is | precisely the place at which you stopped that you must return to. |
C:2.9 | forget, and cannot for even the tiniest fraction of a second. It is | precisely the inability of your true Self to forget that gives you |
C:7.7 | Yet this Self that you hold so dear that you will never let it go is | precisely what you must be willing to freely give away. This is the |
C:9.22 | be thinking now that what I have just told you is not an answer is | precisely what the Bible has instructed you to do. I am recorded as |
T3:14.7 | This is | precisely why you must choose not to keep the life of discomfort |
T3:16.2 | create. You do not need to have a plan and you do not need to know | precisely what this new world will look like. You simply need to be |
D:16.12 | feel as if learning has not quite been accomplished in you. This is | precisely why we now discuss this state of becoming, this movement |
D:Day9.22 | What an image does is separate. The holder of an image, | precisely because he or she holds an image as a goal, holds him or |
A.11 | What you will find yourself accepting through this method is | precisely what cannot be taught. What you are learning through this |
A.11 | what cannot be taught. What you are learning through this method is | precisely what cannot be sought after and attained through your |
A.26 | a desire for feedback or discussion grow stronger. This may also be | precisely the time when the reader is so caught up in experience and |
precision (1) |
||
C:I.4 | language and so you regress to the language of the mind with its | precision. The mind so hates to be confused, to be open, to remain |
preclude (1) |
||
T2:11.12 | For even while you have chosen separation, this choice did not | preclude the existence of relationship and it is in relationship that |
precludes (1) |

T1:7.3 | We are moving you now away from all such beliefs to a knowing that | precludes the need for belief at all. |
preconceived (2) |

C:13.11 | Might some of your | preconceived notions of others and yourself be shattered? Oh yes, and |

precondition (3) |
||
T2:7.20 | The recognition that giving and receiving occur as one is a | precondition for your recognition of the state of unity. As with the |
D:Day7.2 | Denial of yourself was the | precondition that set the stage for the time of learning. The time of |
D:Day7.3 | Acceptance of your Self is the | precondition for the time of acceptance. You are no longer denying |
precursor (8) |

C:9.35 | back into your Father’s home. Being willing to be forgiven is the | precursor of atonement, the state in which you allow your errors to |
T2:12.3 | The miracle I am offering you here is the service I offer you, the | precursor of the service you will offer to others. |
T4:2.33 | This Treatise is here to help you do so. Learning to see anew is the | precursor of learning to create anew. Creating anew is the precursor |
T4:2.33 | is the precursor of learning to create anew. Creating anew is the | precursor of the coming of the new world. Remember, only from a |

T4:9.3 | that have been worthy of your study. These learned works are the | precursors that have shown the way to creating unity and relationship |

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

D:Day9.18 | image, like a rule, is a mental construct. All mental constructs are | predeterminations. |
D:Day9.19 | of advancement or enlightenment are mental constructs. They are | predeterminations. |
predetermine (5) |
||
D:Day8.14 | a predetermination, just as in saying you do not like your job, you | predetermine a continuing dislike. Soon, you might see a group of |
D:Day8.16 | certainty. Certainty cannot be predetermined, just as you cannot | predetermine either your likes or dislikes. Being aware of how you |
D:Day16.11 | what you do not want to know. You do not want to know every time you | predetermine, in advance of knowing, what something is or will be. |
D:Day16.11 | in advance of knowing, what something is or will be. You | predetermine, or decide, for instance, that a physical symptom is |

C:3.7 | a pencil should have, few people can exhibit the qualities you have | predetermined that they should possess at all times and in all |
D:Day8.15 | you will become intolerant. And because you will then act from a | predetermined standard rather than feeling the feelings associated |
D:Day8.16 | in the present and of understanding certainty. Certainty cannot be | predetermined, just as you cannot predetermine either your likes or |

C:9.23 | for what you have not. Only one example is needed to clarify the | predicament in which you have placed yourself. You feel lacking and |
predicated (4) |
||
C:9.11 | All use is | predicated on the simple idea that you do not have what you need. You |
D:6.15 | Creation of the new will be | predicated on the discovery of what you did not previously know. This |
D:Day28.8 | revolutionary that it will take some getting used to. This change is | predicated on all the changes that have come before it, including, |
D:Day37.3 | relate to other separate things. In short, who you are being is all | predicated, first and foremost, by the relationship that you see |
predicted (1) |
||
C:I.12 | is not that which has always existed. It is not that which can be | predicted. It is not that which can be formed and held inviolate. The |
predictions (2) |
||
T4:2.9 | words such as the end of time or the fullness of time, think of the | predictions of the biblical end of time. I speak of this because it |
T4:11.1 | of this Treatise that this Treatise would not be predictive. Many | predictions of the future have been made, and many of them have been |
predictive (4) |
||
T4:1.1 | Let me tell you what this Treatise will not be about. It will not be | predictive. It will leave no one out. It will not appeal to fear nor |
T4:2.1 | externally as well as internally. It is happening. It is not | predictive. I have never been and will never be predictive, for I am |
T4:2.1 | happening. It is not predictive. I have never been and will never be | predictive, for I am Christ-consciousness. Christ-consciousness is |
T4:11.1 | stated at the onset of this Treatise that this Treatise would not be | predictive. Many predictions of the future have been made, and many |
predispositions (1) |
||
C:P.26 | Within that bloodline are genes that carry particular traits and | predispositions. A child of one family may resemble the child of |
predominant (2) |
||
D:Day17.4 | approach to knowing, which was called learning, was previously the | predominant approach. As this approach became more and more centered |
D:Day17.5 | There have always been individuals who challenged the | predominant patterns of learning because of the strength of their |

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

C:P.20 | a good deed here, a bit of charity there, is more important. You | prefer to give up on yourself and to help others, without realizing |
C:P.20 | that you can help no others until you have helped yourself. You | prefer selflessness to self because this is your chosen way to |
C:6.4 | really is. Yet you still refuse to listen and to learn. You still | prefer things to be other than what they are and, through your |
C:6.10 | need to stoke the fire put behind them. But not you. You, you think, | prefer the seasons, the cold as well as the warmth, the snow as well |
C:8.11 | the truth. And while there is a part of you that knows this, you | prefer instead of union a game of speculation, conjecture, and |
C:10.18 | Your mind might still | prefer to be right rather than happy, so it is important that you let |
C:10.19 | a priority here, but being right is quite important to it. It would | prefer to be serious and heavy-hearted rather than light-hearted and |
C:10.32 | has returned to you and will not leave you to the chaos you seem to | prefer. It will keep calling you to acknowledge it and let it grow. |
preferable (2) |
||
C:10.22 | is so ensconced in fear that the known fears of its existence seem | preferable to the unknown fears of any other kind of existence. That |

preference (2) |

C:6.4 | still prefer things to be other than what they are and, through your | preference, choose to keep it so. |
T3:21.21 | It excludes no race nor religion nor ones of either sex or sexual | preference. It but calls all to love and to live in the abundance of |
preferences (1) |

pregnant (4) |

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

C:9.43 | you think you need your sister for is thus based upon this insane | premise that freedom can be purchased and that master is freer than |
T2:13.6 | me now. Our journey together is just beginning as we return to the | premise put forth in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought:” that of the |
preoccupation (1) |

T2:11.3 | Doing battle with the ego has become the | preoccupation of many gifted and learned people. This is the classic |

C:2.23 | the return begins. Armies may not yet be marching home, but their | preparation is underway. |

C:13.1 | your body are for. They are the preparation for what is to come: the | preparation for feeling that which is not of your body. Our next |
C:30.2 | becomes but the means for getting there. All learning is seen as | preparation for the future, or for some eventual outcome, rather than |
D:1.6 | world, the Kingdom that has already been prepared and so needs no | preparation. |
D:1.18 | As you have been shown, this will not occur by means of | preparation but by means of acceptance. This will not occur by means |
D:17.18 | Provision is about | preparation for future needs. This is an appropriate response to |
D:Day15.5 | between observer and observed. The second purpose was your | preparation to move beyond observation. |
D:Day17.9 | that of Mary, was the way of creation, and was a representation and | preparation for those who would approach Christ-consciousness through |

C:9.9 | you are not ready yet to do, but this is what your heart will now | prepare you for. As you are prepared, you walk alongside he who has |
C:9.21 | this one in from that dark and dangerous place. She is cold, and you | prepare a fire and give her a warm blanket for her knees. He is |

D:1.2 | “receive” and you “give” from the well of the spirit. You need not | prepare or plan, you need only to claim your inheritance, your gifts, |

D:1.7 | this acceptance the personal self must still struggle and try, | prepare and plan. It does not know how to do otherwise. You do not |

D:11.5 | the beginning of this Dialogue? What was spoken of as your desire to | prepare? |

C:32.5 | If you do not think you are yet | prepared, if you think you are not yet ready, cease to think. Read |
T1:1.5 | will require no effort for what you have learned in this Course has | prepared you for this. As each situation that re-enacts a previous |
T2:6.7 | exercises on an intellectual level. But what these exercises have | prepared you for is an acceptance of the ongoing change that is |
T2:7.19 | and feelings that arise to the place within your heart that has been | prepared for them. You do not deny them. You bring them first to your |
T2:11.17 | replacement is indeed a miracle and the very miracle you have been | prepared for within this course of learning. |

D:15.16 | You have been | prepared for this by the realization that your thinking mind will no |

C:27.14 | is to accept all that is happening in the present as your | present reality, and as a call to be in relationship with it. It is |
C:27.14 | conflict. It is an understanding that if conflict arises in your | present there is something to be learned from your relationship with |
C:27.15 | the proper response to the relationship that is occurring in the | present rather than to your preconceived notions of others, the |
C:27.17 | As you learn to live in relationship in the | present, this confusion will pass. Your relationship will guide you |

T4:2.16 | observe any others without knowing that the truth of who they are is | present even though it might seem not to be? This is the power of the |

D:Day7.20 | your certainty, goes hand-in-hand with your ability to live in the | present. This ability is also contingent upon your recognition of |
D:Day7.21 | There is an acceptance of the | present that some of you are finding difficult and a false sense of |
D:Day8.8 | of the way things are, but acceptance of who you are in the | present. Not through acceptance of the way you want to be but of the |
D:Day8.8 | You will find, once you have begun to practice acceptance of the | present, that there will be far fewer things you do not like, and |
D:Day8.8 | and that you will be shown, in the relationship you have in the | present, the response to those you still do. |
D:Day8.9 | simple acceptance that you do not like the gossip taking place in a | present moment situation, will enable you not to participate, judge, |
D:Day8.13 | of others, but to accept who you are within the relationship of that | present moment. |
D:Day8.14 | than observing the situation for what it is and responding in the | present. |
D:Day8.15 | rather than feeling the feelings associated with gossip in the | present moment, you will soon find that a bit of gossip will crop up |
D:Day8.16 | This is the importance now of accepting yourself in the | present and of understanding certainty. Certainty cannot be |
D:Day8.16 | either your likes or dislikes. Being aware of how you feel in the | present moment is the only way to certainty. Thus to say that you are |
D:Day8.17 | it is crucial that you come to acceptance of yourself—in the | present, as you are—for only by doing so will you come to full |
D:Day8.17 | Self of form. Access and expression are both conditions of the | present. |
D:Day8.19 | This temptation stems from one thing only—from not living in the | present. Distancing, or non-acceptance of your own feelings, is not |

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

T1:4.18 | The art of thought is being taught here in order to | prevent just such a conclusion. The truth is the truth and not |
T2:7.10 | are aims consistent with the teachings of this Course, but what will | prevent you from following the patterns of old as you go out into the |
T2:7.11 | The only thing that will | prevent this is your ability to go out into the world and remain who |
T2:10.14 | state of trying to hang on to who you were yesterday, or trying to | prevent change tomorrow. |
T3:4.7 | of illusion with the truth. The very purpose of this Treatise is to | prevent the replacement of illusion with illusion, or one ego-self |
T4:2.13 | your awareness of the new grows. But these few that I linger on will | prevent your awareness of the new from growing, and so must be |
T4:12.12 | contentment. Continual contentment will not stunt your growth or | prevent you from sharing or from expressing yourself anew. |
D:2.12 | This will not often | prevent you from trying the same thing again although at times it |
D:4.31 | in Christ, I hear your protests and the reasons that you feel must | prevent you from the acceptance I call you to. Yet as you fully |

D:Day2.7 | This is the feeling that will | prevent you from receiving the secret of succession. It is like the |
D:Day3.14 | there in the learned pattern and you know this too. They are what | prevent you from believing that the ideas set forth in this Course, |
D:Day3.60 | life, to rebirth of new life. By clinging to some of the old, you | prevent its death and you prevent the rebirth of the new. You prevent |
D:Day3.60 | life. By clinging to some of the old, you prevent its death and you | prevent the rebirth of the new. You prevent the very life-giving |
D:Day3.60 | you prevent its death and you prevent the rebirth of the new. You | prevent the very life-giving resurrection you await. You prevent the |
D:Day3.60 | new. You prevent the very life-giving resurrection you await. You | prevent the elevation of the self of form. |
D:Day8.11 | This acceptance is the only thing that will truly | prevent judgment, for it does not require you to be your brother’s |
D:Day8.21 | feelings are of the truth. This is certainty. This is all that will | prevent you from “reacting” to feelings out of your previous pattern. |

previous (17) |

C:9.34 | would be if you could fix yourself and the world, restoring it to a | previous condition that you imagine you know. In this scenario God is |
C:19.20 | will be required before letting the past go completely. All your | previous attempts to go back have been like attempts to pay a debt |
C:23.4 | may be on the other side of the country, separated by distance, or | previous choices, or past hurts, and yet a relationship continues. |
C:26.25 | What has happened and what will happen next? You attempt to rewrite | previous chapters and to cast all the parts and plan all the events |
C:27.15 | the present rather than to your preconceived notions of others, the | previous judgments your mind once made and relies upon out of habit, |
T1:1.5 | Course has prepared you for this. As each situation that re-enacts a | previous learning experience arises, you will, if you trust your |
T1:4.22 | to congratulating yourself on the maturity required to reinterpret | previous lessons. To form a new opinion about something gives you a |
T2:7.7 | believe that giving and receiving as one is not taking place. Your | previous pattern of behavior will be quick to assert itself and you |
T3:1.5 | As with much of our | previous work, the first step in advancing toward this goal is in |
T3:1.8 | now continue to exist. This statement implies and acknowledges your | previous belief in a personal self who existed as more than a |
T4:1.2 | will continue to challenge your former ideas and beliefs as have the | previous Treatises. But it will do this only to reach a conclusion of |
D:9.12 | have contemplated and struggled with. You may think that all of your | previous learning and thinking merely resulted eventually in a new |
D:Day2.2 | You have let go the ego, re-viewed your life, unlearned | previous patterns, and now see the difference between the image you |
D:Day8.21 | is all that will prevent you from “reacting” to feelings out of your | previous pattern. |
D:Day18.5 | They follow the calling of their hearts without attachment to | previous concerns, for in their renewal they fully realize the |
D:Day35.17 | creation must have occurred in this way. We will not return to | previous discussions of original creation, but it must be thought of |
D:Day37.11 | results in a new number, a remainder, that when added to the | previous number returns it to its original value. Think further of a |
previously (57) |

C:P.26 | another distant relative or a relative who lived and died many years | previously. You see nothing odd or foreign in this. This is the |
C:1.8 | disregarded. You might try one more thing and then another that you | previously would not have tried when you were so convinced that you |
C:17.3 | the unknown is simply that it is unknown. Coming to know what was | previously unknown to you can remove the fear, if you will let it. |
C:20.43 | because it releases you from trying to acquire that which you | previously believed you were lacking. It releases you from judgment |
C:22.2 | that establishes a partnership or relationship. While we have | previously discussed relationship as not being one thing or the other |
C:22.7 | these two examples, the partnership creates something that did not | previously exist by providing a function and a purpose for each. In |
C:23.15 | what you are is the basis for your entire foundation, a foundation | previously built on fear. Clearly, belief in the body was easily |
C:23.23 | being tested but given opportunities for unlearning. To learn that a | previously held belief is no longer valid is the only way to truly |
C:23.29 | You might ask, how do you learn what you have failed to learn | previously? What are the lessons? What is the curriculum? How will |
C:25.18 | unconcerned about many of the things you have been concerned about | previously. Your life may actually seem to have less purpose. You may |
C:32.1 | the difference between the two that you need guidance. You have | previously looked to those who do not know the difference for your |
T1:1.4 | to reproduce or recall both what has been learned and what has been | previously experienced. This reproducing and recollecting are acts of |
T1:4.21 | thinking of the ego-mind would simply reinterpret the meaning you | previously gave to these lessons. |
T1:8.3 | realized. Even though many versions of the truth have been accepted | previously, there is only one truth. There was only one truth at the |
T1:9.16 | not embraced. You are pulling forth sides of your selves that were | previously undervalued rather than looking for an other to provide |
T2:3.4 | you must fully recognize the distinction between the ego-self that | previously was the self of learning and experience, and the |
T2:4.12 | This is not about examining where the various calls you responded to | previously have led you. All these notions are concerned with who you |
T2:7.17 | judge others, kept yourself from speaking up in instances where you | previously would have stated an opinion. While these modes of |
T2:7.21 | While as stated | previously, this belief will at times seem difficult to put into |
T2:8.5 | A new type of acceptance is required here, one not | previously asked or expected of you. This is an acceptance that you |
T2:9.15 | Because you have not thought | previously of needs as tools every bit as valuable as the others |
T2:10.12 | you would continue to attempt to learn in the same way that you have | previously learned, you will not learn because the “you” that will be |
T2:10.13 | wholeheartedness. Thus the union of mind and heart is, as was stated | previously, the first union, the union that must proceed all the |
T2:11.7 | we spent a fair amount of time addressing needs in a way we had not | previously addressed them. For only with your understanding that all |
T2:12.9 | There, between you and the “other” whom you have | previously only perceived, is the relationship and the miracle |
T2:13.1 | The final call of this Treatise is, in contrast to those put forth | previously, a personal call from me to you. By now you have seen that |
T3:1.1 | exist following the completion and the integration of this Course. | Previously, the personal self that you presented to others |
T3:1.9 | and to be represented in truth by the form you occupy and have | previously seen as the reality of yourself. |
T3:14.10 | for the hurts you have caused others. Whatever actions you have not | previously brought to love to be seen in a new light, are now |
T4:2.31 | different? That you might see auras or halos, signs and clues | previously unseen? Have you included other senses in your idea of |
D:3.8 | with you into the new. This is the first of many ideas that were | previously taught that I would like to talk of in a new way. These |
D:3.13 | achieved through willingness. Full awareness in form of what has | previously been hidden by the mists of illusion is the more |
D:4.11 | could also be called creation, and where we have spoken of creation | previously, divine design was also spoken of. Here I am quite |
D:5.10 | must be reemphasized now as you are called to see what you might | previously have thought of as inconsequential in the light of truth. |
D:6.6 | easily drawn distinction—and it is—it is not perhaps as you have | previously seen it, for everything that exists in form is of the same |
D:6.13 | this event to happen. It would require the re-working of many | previously known “scientific facts,” but this would not prevent them |
D:6.14 | have spoken of. To discover is simply to find out what you did not | previously know. |
D:6.15 | of the new will be predicated on the discovery of what you did not | previously know. This will not happen if you cling to “known” truths. |
D:7.8 | matter, it occupies space and is perceptible to the senses. You have | previously seen this one aspect of form as separating it from mind, |
D:8.6 | and in that discovery, you realized that although you had not | previously known that this talent or ability existed, it was there |
D:13.3 | in the form of a surprising discovery, a joyous discovery of the | previously known but long forgotten identity of the Self and all that |
D:13.5 | be coming to you will be given in a state of wholeness. You have | previously learned of everything in parts and details and |
D:14.5 | “What might this situation look like if I forgot everything I have | previously known about similar situations, and looked at this in a |
D:16.18 | while even within your new actions you see archetypes of the | previously known and previously experienced. |
D:16.18 | your new actions you see archetypes of the previously known and | previously experienced. |
D:Day3.39 | not think coming with authority and certainty, a certainty you had | previously lacked. When I said earlier in this chapter that you are |
D:Day4.37 | you. It is a desire for true discovery, a desire to access the | previously unknown. |
D:Day6.23 | is accelerated by hands-on activities, by doing what one has | previously only learned. |
D:Day6.26 | important for you to be involved in. All other areas where you might | previously have placed your devotion pale in comparison to our task. |
D:Day7.1 | the idea of only now coming to acceptance imply but that you were | previously unaccepting? And what does being unaccepting imply but the |
D:Day15.5 | Previously, what you did not observe, or see, was not real to you. | |
D:Day17.4 | is all about. An approach to knowing, which was called learning, was | previously the predominant approach. As this approach became more and |
D:Day19.13 | imagination, create the new by means other than doing, open a way | previously unknown, and as all forerunners do, anchor that way within |
D:Day20.4 | for surely you have been told much here that you did not | previously know. This isn’t quite accurate however. What has happened |
D:Day22.5 | as a passage to take into consideration. This we have spoken of | previously as your access to union—as a place or state of |
D:Day28.17 | the same time however, what is within has been based upon what was | previously externalized. This is what now must change, and as can be |
D:Day35.9 | that is needed is that you carry them within you in the way we have | previously spoken of carrying. Carry them as a pregnant woman carries |

C:9.43 | this is illusion, it is the illusion that is sought. The purchase | price is usefulness. And so each joining is seen as a bartering in |
T3:20.18 | world. Its mere existence will attract others and each will find the | price of admission is their willingness to leave the old behind. This |
T3:20.18 | of admission is their willingness to leave the old behind. This is a | price they must freely give and it cannot be extorted from them, not |
D:Day3.13 | truly free. Not you, and not your gifts. Everything coming with a | price. Abundance comes, even to those gifted, only through the |

C:2.19 | you made for it, it slowly dies. Until this happens, the ego takes | pride in what the mind has acquired, even unto the greater peace and |
C:14.6 | in it, then you must believe in a god who is insane. You—who | pride yourself on reason and practicality—think if a creation such |
C:14.15 | stems from something other than fear. You might call this desire | pride or security, or even accept that it is vanity, before you would |
T1:9.13 | level or at the intellectual level? Were your feelings hurt or your | pride? Your feelings called into question or your ideas? And what |
T1:9.15 | One first reaction might be to puff oneself up with | pride, bolster one’s position, think one’s way through, argue, |

D:15.6 | These are not, however, separate | principles, but a single unifying principle of wholeness: Movement, |
D:15.6 | to move before there was being? This is the way the mind looks at | principles, one coming after the other and building upon each other. |
D:15.6 | upon each other. This is not the way of creation, which is why these | principles of unity must be seen as the undivided wholeness of the |
D:15.9 | I repeat this story not as fact, or to still any doubts about these | principles of creation, but to give you an example that is easily |
D:15.9 | that is easily understood, an example of the way in which these | principles work together. What I have left out of this story, the |
D:16.4 | It is a perceived state. It is a state in which the unified | principles of creation are seen to be taking place as separate steps. |
D:16.4 | steps. This is so because of the condition of time. Once these | principles are unified, time will have ended just as time was once |
D:16.5 | The unified | principles of creation, once unified within each of us, bring light |
D:16.8 | of form. The way of that extension was the way of the unified | principles of creation, the way of movement, being, and expression. |
D:16.10 | because you are not yet whole. When you are whole, creation’s | principles will be what you do and what you are rather than what is |
D:16.11 | And yet giving and receiving are one in truth. All of the | principles of creation are in accord with this truth, and thus these |
D:16.11 | in form, you were expressing. It would be impossible for these | principles of creation not to be constantly occurring in everything |

T2:7.12 | To | proceed into each relationship as who you truly are is to bring |
T2:10.13 | is, as was stated previously, the first union, the union that must | proceed all the rest. You are in a state of unity when you have |

T3:11.10 | This is an important distinction that must be kept in mind as we | proceed so that you are not tempted to judge those living in illusion |
T3:13.1 | that will allow you to exist as who you are in human form, we may | proceed unencumbered by any doubt you might have had concerning |
T3:13.2 | We | proceed by further defining the temptations of the human experience. |

T4:2.8 | I belabor this point because you literally cannot | proceed to full awareness while ideas such as more and better remain |

D:3.1 | The Covenant of the New is simply our agreement to | proceed together on the palm-strewn path of Christ-consciousness. It |

D:4.26 | be a prisoner in truth, and wonder how, save a grand escape, you can | proceed. But I tell you truthfully, your release is at hand and it |
D:5.9 | design. True seeing facilitates the return to what is and we but | proceed from this starting point. |
D:5.19 | We return the form you occupy to its natural state. Only then can we | proceed to creation of the new. Because Christ-consciousness is |

D:Day9.20 | use of these terms is not a cause for predetermination that we can | proceed. For if you believe that we are proceeding to some |
D:Day10.24 | in this way, is an exchange and will only become more so as we | proceed. I am not imparting wisdom that you are unaware of but |
D:Day35.12 | can be created only in this way. A new world can only be created. To | proceed relying upon anything other than your power to create would |

C:2.9 | The insanity of your thought | process and the world you perceive must be made known to you before |
C:2.16 | the other. You believe that to know with your mind is a learning | process that stands apart from all else that you are. Thus you can |
C:3.10 | believe your mind is in control of what it thinks. You believe in a | process of input and output, all completely human and scientifically |
C:3.14 | of the brain, for we bypass it now and send it no information to | process, no data for it to compute. The only change in thinking you |
C:8.3 | from one step, or one level of learning, to another. This is more a | process of remembering than learning, and this you will understand as |
C:23.23 | your beliefs, you must unlearn your beliefs. As you begin the | process of unlearning you may feel tested. You are not being tested |
C:23.26 | to your beliefs? If you do not remember that you are involved in a | process of unlearning that will lead to the conviction you have so |
C:23.27 | learning both. Control opposes openness. Mastery comes through the | process of both unlearning and learning anew. This is but another way |
C:23.28 | Looked at in another way, this | process has much in common with forgiveness. The action associated |
C:23.28 | It is an undoing accompanied by a new means of doing. In the | process of unlearning, both forgiveness and atonement occur. You |
C:23.29 | into beliefs. Only your own life experiences will reverse the | process. |
C:25.22 | and choices are made by relying upon the very lessons you are in the | process of unlearning. At the same time, however, decisions and |
C:25.23 | have received is correct, you will soon learn to trust this quiet | process of discernment. You will know you have succeeded when you |
C:28.3 | about. This, however, is not about evolutionary steps, and so a | process intent upon bringing the collective to a fever pitch of |
T2:4.5 | continue to “bump in” to who you think you are as you complete the | process of unlearning. It might be best explained by continuing with |
T2:4.16 | You are in the | process of unmaking what you have made. The old structure is coming |
T2:4.17 | This | process too is union for it is giving and receiving as one although |
T2:4.17 | receiving as one although you recognize it not as such. It is not a | process of waiting until one thing is accomplished for another to |
T2:6.2 | of time you but place upon your thinking, you will advance this | process and more quickly bring about the end of the pattern of |
T2:10.12 | not learn because the “you” that will be involved in the learning | process will not be the real you. |
T3:1.9 | This change that is in the | process of coming about has to do with awareness. When you become |
T3:6.4 | that God is not a God of vengeance but that you are still in the | process of learning that your Self is not vengeful. The ego has given |
T3:10.8 | While much the same as forgetting it will seem to have a different | process in practice. This is the practice of ceasing to listen to the |
T3:10.8 | messages and so must, like all the rest, be forgotten. The | process of forgetting these thought patterns will be only slightly |
T3:17.5 | the physical realm, to have begun to forget the unobservable began a | process of unlearning or forgetting of the truth that has led, |
T3:22.5 | you need to be aware, are functions of the pattern of the planning | process that once so ruled your mind. To be willing to receive |
T4:1.4 | of the world’s religions are but related to this idea of choosing, a | process of the free will with which you all are endowed. |
T4:1.14 | seem to lie in the laws of evolution, the slow learning and adaptive | process of man. Surely this would seem a likely answer and one to |
T4:2.4 | There was no Way or path or | process back to God and Self before me. It was the time of man |
T4:2.8 | carried forward with you and when you continue to believe in a | process of evolution that has made you better than those who came |
T4:2.33 | vision of Christ-consciousness is already upon you. You are in the | process of learning what it means. This Treatise is here to help you |
T4:8.5 | materialized and dematerialized in natural cycles of the creation | process that once begun was unending and thus was ever creating anew. |
T4:8.7 | you could “do” with the human body, you can imagine the learning | process that ensued. If your reality had been like unto the reality |
T4:8.7 | were loving acts within a loving universe, a love-filled learning | process. A learning process that was as known to you and chosen by |
T4:8.7 | within a loving universe, a love-filled learning process. A learning | process that was as known to you and chosen by you as it was by God, |
T4:12.27 | are speaking of when we talk of patterns. There was a pattern to the | process of learning that was shared by all learners and inherent to |
D:10.2 | of knowledge that was gained in the time of learning, through the | process of learning. Notice the inability of teaching or learning to |
D:16.12 | presence. It is upon you as we speak. It is not a learned state or | process and it should not be seen as a cause for disappointment. |
D:16.13 | world. The new you is the elevated Self of form who you are in the | process of becoming. This time of becoming is the time in between |
D:Day3.39 | unity. You perhaps desired an answer that “came to you” through no | process you had known before. We spoke of this as thoughts you did |
D:Day3.51 | The final stage in this | process, this movement toward acceptance, is depression, a lowering |
D:Day6.7 | the piece of music might be shared with others at each step of the | process, or only late in its development. But at some point, the |
D:Day6.11 | that is union. You are in and within the movement of the creative | process where there is no distinction between Creator and created. |
D:Day6.13 | —the simple truth that you are having to go about this creative | process while remaining embroiled in daily life—I want to |
D:Day7.14 | not an “if this, then that” situation even if it may seem so. Is the | process of breathing an “if this, then that” situation, just because |
