C:P.4 ego, assuming there would be such a state in which learning could  take place would be meaningless.
C:P.15 to you an invisible world in which you can believe but not  take part. You thus have placed the ego at odds with spirit, giving
C:P.28 from it. In such a world the question should not be why do so many  take their lives, but why do so few.
C:P.36 your body’s eyes that will view the new world you will behold and  take with you. To view a physical world of dimension, shape, and
C:P.40 well 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

C:P.43 You were your Self before you began your learning, and the ego cannot  take your Self from you but only can obscure it. Thus the teachings
C:P.44 This time we  take a direct approach, an approach that seems at first to leave
C:P.44 and the complex mechanisms of the mind that so betray you. We  take a step away from intellect, the pride of the ego, and approach
C:1.3 In your 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
C:1.9 It is the desire to find your way on your own so that you can  take pride in your accomplishment, as if by following another’s map
C:3.13 that you have not learned before. Thus we move from head to heart to  take advantage of your concepts of the heart, concepts much more in
C:3.14 These words of love do not enter your body through your eyes and  take up residence in your brain, there to be distilled into a
C:3.16 mind from body, brain from head, and intelligence from knowledge,  take heart. We give up trying. We simply learn in a new way and in
C:3.17 easily contained within the casing of our flesh and bone. Our hearts  take wing with joy and break with sadness. Not so the brain that
C:3.18 and thereafter certainly to cause your ruin, I say to you again:  take heart. Such foolishness as your heart’s desires will save you
C:3.23 love can be kept apart from life in any way. But we begin now to  take life’s judgment from it, the judgments gained by your
C:4.22 demand that others bring what love they have into the madness to  take responsibility for the mess that has been made, to attempt to
C:4.25  Take all the images of love set apart that you have made and extend
C:4.27 into the nothingness from which it came as a new world rises up to  take its place.
C:5.6 when you go to write something down, but it is a relationship you  take so completely for granted that you have forgotten that it
C:5.17 is not one of joining. What you join with becomes real. As you  take it into your Self you thereby make it real because you make it
C:7.12 else. If you succeed through anger, spite, or meanness, you simply  take on guilt and withdraw still further into your own misery.
C:7.23 a new authority, even if only for the little while that it will  take you to read these words. Start with this idea: You will allow
C:9.5 Look around the room in which you sit and  take away the usefulness from each thing you see in it. How many
C:9.10 upon your body now as you earlier looked upon the space you occupy.  Take away the body’s usefulness. Would you keep that which you now
C:9.28 be other 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
C:9.40 of victory for himself. You realize not that if you were to stop and  take your brother’s hand, the racecourse would become a valley full
C:9.41 is so. This 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
C:10.3 wholly consistent as the thought system of illusion, and you cannot  take what you will and leave the rest. Thus we will continue to point
C:10.21 so fulfilling that once you have experienced it you say, “I will  take this despair no more.” For others this threshold is the
C:10.31 of the experiment you will also encounter fear, especially if you  take the game too seriously. There will be times when you will not
C:10.32 just want to read about this Course, perhaps, and not be required to  take it. You will want to keep it theoretical and not apply it. You
C:11.5 Course—your awareness of what love is—and no earthly course can  take you beyond this goal. It is only your willingness that is
C:11.9 so. But because you view free will as all you have that God cannot  take away from you, you have not yet given up its protection. It does
C:11.9 it is insane to think that He who has given you everything seeks to  take anything away from you. While you still view yourself as a body,
C:11.9 God you think you know has given you everything, but He can also  take it all away, and in the end He surely will. He then will judge
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
C:11.18 a social obligation. But a dinner party where love is welcomed to  take its place becomes a celebration. Your table becomes an altar to
C:12.1 The word love is part of your problem with this Course. If I were to  take the word love and change it to some sophisticated-sounding
C:12.16 ability as symbols, and that farther than where these symbols can  take you, the truth lies within your Self.
C:12.18 You may very well say, however, that an idea seemed to  take on a life of its own and compel you to do things you might have
C:12.21 so too, did this idea of separation. But just as your ideas do not  take on a life of their own even though they at times seem to, this
C:13.1 This seeming togetherness of bodies is just a first step that will  take you beyond the illusion of bodies to togetherness of spirit.
C:13.7 This exercise should  take no time nor break your stride or the flow of your conversation.
C:14.20 is the chance that cannot be foreseen but is always there: death may  take their loved one prematurely, and if not prematurely certainly
C:14.28 quickly rushes in with love’s replacement. Nothing but fear could  take the memory of love from you, or replace so quickly the glory
C:16.21 you also fear them, and they in turn fear the powerless who might  take away their power or rise up against them. What kind of power is
C:16.23 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 giving it

C:26.19 asks only that you be open and allow giving and receiving as one to  take place. It asks only that you be unoccupied with the old so that

T1:6.2 How is this revelation to  take place? It will begin by learning the art of thought as the act

T1:9.13 called into question or your ideas? And what guise did the ego  take as it rallied to your aide? Did it require you to retreat or
T1:10.7 give 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
T1:10.7 to those living at the extremes and there is no reason not to  take joy in observing another’s happiness or to feel compassion at
T2:2.5 What overriding kindness calls one to  take care of another’s body, to be a healer?
T2:3.4 that is now the Self of learning and experience. You must  take on the mantle of your new identity, your new Self.
T2:6.5 anything without taking into account the time that it will  take? Relate this question to our discussion of treasure and you will
T2:7.6 This source is the ego. Even now, the ego will  take every opportunity that arises to prove to you that independence
T2:7.6 will work diligently to convince you that any course that tries to  take away your independence should be resisted. As long as you
T2:7.21 recognition of receiving and of needs being met may seem to still  take time, this belief builds on the belief of the already
T2:8.3 all others. This is giving and receiving as one. What you gain will  take nothing from anyone. What another is able to give you will take
T2:8.3 will take nothing from anyone. What another is able to give you will  take nothing from them, and what you are able to give another will
T2:8.3 take nothing from them, and what you are able to give another will  take nothing from you.
T2:8.4 Self and to act on this knowing. These are calls to truth and but  take the form of honesty for a brief time as the truth of who you are
T2:8.6 of yourself that you reveal now will not become a new truth as you  take a new path. Your path now is sure and its final acceptance

T2:11.3 to be toppled, the one-on-one conflict of all heroes who would  take sides and do battle.
T2:12.4 Miracles are intercessions. As such they are agreements. They do not  take away free will but free the will to respond to truth. They are
T3:2.11 parameters, for it has not allowed you to imagine being able to  take steps “back” to the God you believe you left in defiance, or the
T3:4.3 Before we can go on you must  take all such ideas from your mind. Such ideas are not small matters.
T3:9.2 once did. Yet, as these ideas are not learned ideas, they will not  take time, as did the ego’s ideas, to spread through learning.
T3:9.5 you love and gently tug them through its doors. You will be able to  take note of the explosions happening within and will want to return
T3:10.4 I offer you no word or sentiment to replace it. I ask you simply to  take the thought of it from your mind as quickly as it enters.

T3:17.5 the true, your true Self had to be appealed to for this learning to  take place.
T3:18.3 form. It is thus from observable form that the final learning will  take place. This is the perfect example of using what you have made
T3:20.2 time 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
T3:22.1 You would like to know in what direction living by the truth will  take you, for surely your life must change. The very precepts put
T3:22.14 separated from what will be by your effort and the time that it will  take you to, through your effort, create the desired outcome.
T4:1.4 unavailable for choosing? Can you choose to own another’s property?  Take another’s husband or wife? Choosing is not taking. Choosing

T4:4.18 As form becomes a representation of Christ-consciousness, it will  take on the nature of Christ-consciousness, of which my life was the
T4:4.18 of the human and the divine as a new state of being. This union will  take you beyond the goal of expressing your Self in form because this

D:8.1 as the dot within the circle, I ask you to imagine now being able to  take a step outside of the area of this dot, and into the area of the

T3:16.8 to “accomplish” set goals in life. The key to resisting these  temptations is not resistance at all but the idea that you are
T3:16.12 and as such is the greatest detriment to your new beginning. These  temptations relate to everything you fear to do because of the
T3:16.12 certainty and result in a lack of trust. The key to resisting these  temptations is not resistance at all but the idea that there is no

territory (22)

C:11.3 be confident in your learning skills and rush in to conquer this new  territory as you have others that have come before. These would read
D:7.28 places of civic duty or social engagement. You may expand this small  territory you call your own with business travel or vacations, and
D:7.28 you dwell. What I ask you to do is to think of these areas as the  territory of your body, and to remember that while this is your
D:7.28 the territory of your body, and to remember that while this is your  territory, it is a shared territory and a territory within the
D:7.28 and to remember that while this is your territory, it is a shared  territory and a territory within the territory of planet Earth.
D:7.28 that while this is your territory, it is a shared territory and a  territory within the territory of planet Earth.
D:7.28 your territory, it is a shared territory and a territory within the  territory of planet Earth.
D:7.29 Thus we will begin once again with parameters, with a  territory of shared consciousness, rather than with consciousness of
D:7.29 rather than with consciousness of the All of Everything. This  territory we will call the territory of your conscious awareness.
D:7.29 of the All of Everything. This territory we will call the  territory of your conscious awareness. This territory of conscious
D:7.29 we will call the territory of your conscious awareness. This  territory of conscious awareness is shared with the larger

D:7.29 of your body is shared with those who live and work nearby. This  territory of conscious awareness exists within the larger
D:7.29 exists within the larger consciousness of unity, just as the  territory of your body exists within the larger territory of the
D:7.29 unity, just as the territory of your body exists within the larger  territory of the planet Earth. We will begin here, with the territory
D:7.29 larger territory of the planet Earth. We will begin here, with the  territory of your conscious awareness, knowing that discovery and
D:7.29 awareness, knowing that discovery and revelation will expand this  territory, and realizing that no matter how small this cosmic
D:7.29 this territory, and realizing that no matter how small this cosmic  territory may be, it will still at times give way to awareness of the

D:8.7 level, and will help establish it as the first parameter in the  territory of your conscious awareness.
D:9.11 We thus return to discovery and continue to expand the  territory of your conscious awareness. We do this by discussing now
D:12.8 the “thoughts” these words symbolize. Thus we continue to expand the  territory of your conscious awareness through this realization that

C:21.2 from particulars. I repeat that relationship exists between one  thing and another and that it is in the intersection of parts that
C:21.3 feel, you need no judgment to tell you the difference between one  thing and another. You thus can begin to quit relying on your body’s
C:21.8 moral conflict, an example being the individual knowing the “right”  thing to do but acting instead on what is the accepted thing to do

T2:4.2 you are at the mercy of fate. Fate and creation are hardly the same  thing. You are at the mercy only of your own ego and only until you
T2:4.17 recognize it not as such. It is not a process of waiting until one  thing is accomplished for another to begin. What is happening now is
T2:7.11 The only  thing that will prevent this is your ability to go out into the world
T2:7.14 the same as saying you are a being who needs relationship. The only  thing that keeps you, in this new pattern, from being needy and
T2:9.14 There is no such  thing as a static level in unity where creation is continuous and
T2:11.4 ego is the one untruth, given many names and many faces and the only  thing given by you the power to do battle with the truth, or with
T2:11.13 contingent upon relationship for its existence, is this not the same  thing as saying that you are a being who exists in relationship? Is
T2:12.5 in miracles and your belief in atonement or correction are the same  thing. While you believe there is anything other than your own

T3:13.10 to do. You may even begin by something as simple as choosing one  thing a day that you will change to reflect the fact that you have
T3:21.9 a set of information. These facts are subject to change and mean one  thing to one person and one thing to another. Illusion is symbolic.
T3:21.9 facts are subject to change and mean one thing to one person and one  thing to another. Illusion is symbolic. And what’s more it symbolizes
T3:22.5 that a specific role is required of you, or that you have a specific  thing to do of which you need to be aware, are functions of the
T3:22.12 thought that this creative tension would not necessarily be a good  thing to give up. You do not know how to reach beyond what was for
T4:1.15 so that you are left with no confusion and only certainty. The only  thing that will dispel this confusion and bring you the certainty
T4:7.5 exists in the state or reality in which you think you are. The only  thing that has created an unreal reality for your heart and body has
T4:8.16 and pride that at least you know all there is to know about this one  thing. This was the ego’s answer to being a learning being—choosing
T4:9.5 You have begun to see that all messages of the truth say the same  thing but in different ways. There seems to be nothing new to be
T4:12.11 Another  thing that you will want to be vigilant of, dear brothers and
T4:12.20 The only  thing that is going to hold you back from your ability to sustain
D:2.12 This will not often prevent you from trying the same  thing again although at times it will. No matter what you try,
D:3.5 Sustaining Christ-consciousness will accomplish the same  thing in your world.
D:4.19 I speak of structure here not as a  thing—not as a building in which to dwell or as a set of rules or
D:6.6 you have made you have not made from nothing. There is not one  thing that you have made that does not exist as some variation of
D:6.20 force that has no reality except in your imagination. What is this  thing called fate? Like all the systems you believe in, it is a

C:25.19 be done with patience, grace, and love. You will learn that other  things you have done, beliefs you have held, patterns and habits that

C:27.19 provides a constant knowing of this sort, a simple knowing of a way  things are meant to be. It is a knowing felt within the heart for
C:29.14 while you look at life in terms of schedules, plans, time-tables, or  things to get done. No wholeness will be possible for you while you
C:31.19 as a learning device to help you remember who you are. Those  things about which you feel guilt and shame are simply the remnants
C:31.20 Who you are is love, and all  things brought to love are seen in a new light, a light that keeps
T1:2.2 you to leave behind within the pages of A Course of Love. These many  things which seemed so distinct and separate and which ranged from

T2:7.2 waiting to happen, love that is not returned, the withholding of  things you deem important. This fear that you feel in relation to
T2:7.10 idea of the desire for change. Certainly there will continue to be  things within your life that are in need of change. As was stated in
T2:11.12 Separate  things must still exist in relationship. This is the key to
T3:1.7 which you have been called. These changes, perhaps, seem like little  things—a change in attitude here, a change in behavior there. But I

T3:5.5 have already tried to learn. This Course has come so that these many  things that you have tried need not be repeated, just as the
T3:7.6 many doors to the same house and but thought them to offer different  things, only to find that the house you entered was still the same
T3:8.1 Kingdom of God. I remind you, once again, that what you have called  things are but representations too and that we move now beyond
T3:9.3 no new learning at all. You will be tempted, at first, to see  things that are like unto those within the house of illusion and call
T3:11.2 larger, an all-encompassing recognition of the unity of all  things with which the Self coexists in truth and peace and love.
T3:13.2 in regards to extremes of the human experience, saying that these  things that draw you from the peace of God draw you from the state in
T3:13.4 temptations we are beginning to lay out. Because you have made these  things that would but seem to tempt you, you have believed in them
T3:13.13 is the action of giving birth. Realize that you believe in many  things that did not originate with yourself. But it is not until you
T3:14.2 the thought system of the truth, you will begin to believe in such  things as benevolence and abundance. What this means is that you will
T3:14.7 disrespect. It is only by your choice that you will keep these  things and only by your choice that these things will leave you.
T3:14.7 that you will keep these things and only by your choice that these  things will leave you.
T3:14.10 If there are  things that you, at this point, still hold to yourself and call
T3:15.2 beginnings of all kinds within the human experience are ideas that  things cannot be different than they once were. The only true
T3:17.2 this beginning of making distinctions between the self and all other  things in creation that existed with the self. This is why the story
T3:17.2 every day to understanding the unity and interconnectedness of all  things.
T3:17.8 as the truth is the truth and illusion is illusion; just as these  things are what they are without judgment; so is the beginning the
T3:18.10 shared by all. This is the relationship of the truth that unites all  things and that must now become observable.
T3:19.2 —no joy felt by the physical form alone—the joy that comes of  things physical can certainly still be experienced and expressed.
T3:19.4 from lust and greed, hate and fear, vengeance and retribution. These  things have always had as their cause the thought system of the ego
T3:20.14 and let not the suffering of the world call you from it. When these  things of the world threaten to call you from your peace, you must
T3:21.11 of this as being certain of facts and information, for these are the  things about yourself that few of you have doubted. Those who have
T3:21.11 your family and the accumulated experiences of your lifetime are the  things upon which you draw to feel the certainty you feel about your
T3:21.11 white or Indian. Your personal self may be deeply affected by these  things you call yourself or may be minimally affected.
T3:21.12 And even more so than these  things, although this hasn’t as often been considered as part of what
T3:21.12 changeable, are unmistakably claimed to be your own in the way few  things, in addition to your name and family of origin ever are. Even
T3:21.13 fall within 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
T3:21.16 All of these  things have contributed to your idea that you are a separate being
T3:21.17 system has changed and you believe that you exist in unity, all the  things we have enumerated above will act to challenge these beliefs
T3:21.18 Thus, certain  things about your personal self must be accepted as aspects of your
T3:22.10 You have needed to become bored with what has been, tired of the way  things were, uninterested in matters of a personal nature. This very
T4:2.32 All of these  things are possible. But true vision is seeing relationship and
T4:3.2 has to do with the divine pattern, the unity that binds all living  things. Observation is the means of seeing this binding pattern in
T4:3.4 Original intent has everything to do with the nature of  things for original intent is synonymous with cause. The original
T4:3.6 tests of time. Thus did the world become a world of effort with all  things in it and beyond it, including God, weighed and balanced
T4:7.3 The understanding of the unity that creates and sustains all living  things will now be as close to the surface of consciousness as was,
T4:8.7 to breathe, to speak, to walk, much as a baby learns to do these  things, and that these things were loving acts within a loving
T4:8.7 to walk, much as a baby learns to do these things, and that these  things were loving acts within a loving universe, a love-filled

T4:10.6 The outcome of learning or what is studied is the production of  things and perceived meaning.
T4:10.7 What we work toward now is to advance from learning and producing  things and perceived meaning, to producing unity and relationship
T4:10.8 one, cause and effect the same. Thus this applied learning produced  things and perceived meaning.

D:1.26 Learning accepts that there are those separate from you who know  things that you know not. This is not the case. When you fully accept
D:2.1 You are now asked to do two  things simultaneously: To accept the new and to deny the old.
D:3.19 once newly birthed even though my Self was eternal. One of the major  things we will be seeing as we proceed is the difference between form
D:5.2 These distortions occurred as you assigned meaning or “truth” to  things, truly believing in your ability to do so. You thus determined
D:5.7 body and its acts as representative of truth. You have thought the  things you do represent your drives, but they simply represent what
D:6.6 for everything that exists in form is of the same Source. Even those  things you have made you have not made from nothing. There is not one
D:6.8 What is not real are the  things that you have made to represent what is real since you didn’t
D:6.8 what is real since you didn’t understand what it was you were making  things to represent. These are the systems we have already spoken of:
D:7.9 for content, and need not be maligned. The content of all living  things is the energy of the spirit of wholeheartedness. The content
D:7.9 energy of the spirit of wholeheartedness. The content of all living  things is, in other words, whole. By seeing only aspects of wholeness
D:8.2 said or been told you have a natural talent or ability to do. These  things some of you have practiced or studied to take advantage of
D:9.7 As we continue, you may feel as if contradictory  things are being said, such as being called to consider what
D:13.8 of the time of Christ, and you will begin to see the evidence that  things are different now. Join with others who are coming to know
D:Day3.3 quit resisting most of this learning and “accepted” it as the way  things are. This kind of acceptance is what we are reversing with a
D:Day3.14 and so you would rather not even attempt an understanding of how  things might be different. As far as you have come, these ideas are
D:Day3.26 Do not feel dejected that you have not learned these  things. They were learned, to the degree that you could learn them
D:Day3.33 think that money spent on the more lasting pleasures such as the  things described above is the secret.
D:Day3.59 reality of lack. You cannot accept that in the reality of unity all  things come to you without effort or striving except money. You
D:Day4.6 You might begin to think of all the “givens” of unity as those  things that require no thinking.
D:Day4.9 of an externalized system. That you all attempt to learn the same  things, and in coming to identify the world in the same way—the way
D:Day4.9 cause of the insanity of the world and of your anger with the way  things “are” within the world. This is an anger that stems from lack
D:Day4.9 anger that stems from lack of choice. When you are “taught” the “way  things are,” where is the room for choice? Where is the room for
D:Day4.10 taught what life is all about, not to relearn or be taught the “way  things are” but to discover what life is all about and to discover
D:Day4.10 to discover what life is all about and to discover the way to remake  things as they are.
D:Day4.15 ideas that were not gained through effort. We have spoken of these  things to begin to familiarize you with the “given” world as opposed

D:Day4.52 of you, or because you still feel like bargaining with God. These  things are only reactions to faulty perceptions, only the steps
D:Day4.57 your becoming is your enlightenment realized without judgment. These  things become not achievements, but the acknowledgments of the

D:Day5.26 So we will continue our work now in releasing you from those  things that would still block your full awareness.
D:Day6.6 How might these  things be linked to the example of creating art? I choose this
D:Day8.8 to effect change comes from acceptance—not acceptance of the way  things are, but acceptance of who you are in the present. Not through
D:Day8.8 way you want to be but of the way you are now. There will be many  things within your life that will take some time to change, but many
D:Day8.8 to practice acceptance of the present, that there will be far fewer  things you do not like, and that you will be shown, in the
D:Day9.28 these learning practices were the product of false images of the way  things—and you—should be! Can you not see the extreme urgency of
D:Day10.26 This is why we have recently spoken of anger and of those  things which you dislike—why we have spoken, in short, of the
D:Day10.35 of the issues facing your time in order to speak to you of such  things, I am aware of them. So is every other living thing because

C:P.15 By rejecting who you are, you are demonstrating that you  think you can believe in some of the truth but not all of it. Many of
C:P.18 good intentions and willing with God? The difference is in who you  think you are and who God knows you to be. While this difference
C:P.18 your will with God or do what God has appointed you to do. Who you  think you are reveals the choice that you have made. It is either a
C:P.20 works but that you do not know how to do what God asks of you. You  think, if God asked me to build a bridge I would build a bridge, and
C:P.20 and union with God and all your brothers and sisters. You prefer to  think a good deed here, a bit of charity there, is more important.
C:P.28 strife, there is another part of you that knows this is not true.  Think back, and you will remember that, from the earliest of ages you
C:P.31 they stand for, what their truth is, what rules they obey, how they  think and how what they think aligns with what they do is the essence
C:P.31 truth is, what rules they obey, how they think and how what they  think aligns with what they do is the essence of knowing them. God
C:1.6 by letting them go. Remember that your worries affect nothing. You  think if your worries affect time this is an effect, but time is an
C:1.12 heart yearns for what is like itself. Thus love yearns for love. To  think of achieving love “on one’s own” is ludicrous. This is why love
C:1.14 what this Course is about. It has nothing to do with struggle. You  think also that to leave struggle behind, to disengage from the
C:1.14 back on the real world and all that has meaning in it. In this you  think correctly. And yet you do not choose this option, thinking that
C:1.14 you in distractions that keep you from your real responsibility.  Think again about your attraction to struggle. It is your attraction
C:1.18 creates love. A choice for fear creates fear. What choice do you  think has been made to create the world you call your home? This
C:2.2 They simply realize love is all there is. Nothing unreal exists.  Think for yourself: If you were going to die tomorrow what would you
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
C:2.6 proportions. You again label love a “sometimes” component and  think that to act in love more frequently is an achievement. You
C:2.8 of doing, and few of you believe you will succeed. Others refuse to  think of life in terms of purpose and thereby condemn themselves to
C:2.8 up on one and hoping that the other will bring them some peace. To  think that these are the only options available to creatures of a
C:2.8 to creatures of a loving God is insane. Yet you believe that to  think the opposite is true insanity. Given even your limited view of
C:2.10 look on a loveless world, on misery and despair, and not be moved?  Think not that those who seem to add to the world’s misery are any
C:2.10 They are not there! This is the miracle. The miracle is true seeing.  Think not that love can look on misery and see love there. Love looks
C:2.11 believe in a God who is compassionate as you are compassionate. You  think you would end misery if you could, beginning with your own, and
C:2.16 reversal has not occurred because you separate mind and heart and  think you can involve one without involving the other. You believe
C:2.16 are. Thus you can know without that knowing being who you are. You  think you can love without love being who you are. Nothing stands
C:3.7 forms a day with different names and different functions and you  think not that they are all the same. You place values on each one
C:3.11 this world? It means that you filter it through the same lens. You  think of it in the same way. You seek to gather it together so that
C:3.12  Think not that your mind as you conceive of it learns without
C:3.18 You who  think this idea is rife with sentiment, sure to lead you to
C:3.21  Think not that these are senseless questions, made to bring love and
C:3.23  Think you not that love can be kept apart from life in any way. But
C:4.2 before you can love for love’s sake. What is a false idol? What you  think love will get you. You are entitled to all that love would give
C:4.2 You are entitled to all that love would give but not to what you  think love will provide for you through its acquisition. This is a
C:4.10 better place. The heart knows not these distinctions, and those who  think their hearts have learned them by being battered and abused by
C:4.12 When you  think of acting out of love, your thoughts of love are based on
C:4.12 something to be gained at too high a price, that devotion you might  think is fine for one whose partner is more loving than your own,
C:4.15 an ideal that changed over time. Those most bound by the ego might  think of stature and of wealth, of physical beauty and the trappings
C:4.18 all that is set apart in your perception from what you do here. You  think this setting apart gives love little relevance to other areas
C:4.26 secure within you and your brother, as you join together in truth.  Think you not that this joining is a metaphor, a string of pleasant
C:5.2 have so filled your mind with senseless wanderings and thoughts that  think of nothing that is real, rejoice that there is a way to end
C:5.4 same is true of relationship. God creates all relationship. When you  think of relationship, you think of one relationship and then
C:5.4 God creates all relationship. When you think of relationship, you  think of one relationship and then another. The one you share with
C:5.5 with any of the specific details or forms of your world. You  think relationship exists between one body and another, and while you
C:5.5 relationship exists between one body and another, and while you  think this is so, you will not understand relationship or union or
C:5.8 “Ah,” you  think when you find love, “now my heart is singing; now I know what
C:5.20 to union.” As often as you need to replace senseless thoughts,  think of this and say it to yourself not once but a hundred times a
C:5.22 and alone. Your entire resistance to God is based on this. You  think you have chosen to be separate from God so that you can make it
C:5.23 the adversity and obstacles that would keep you from having what you  think you want to have. This is your definition of life, and while it
C:5.24 again to not be what you want once you have achieved it. Yet you  think when this occurs that you have simply chosen the wrong thing
C:5.25 failed to work will surely fail again. Stop now and give up what you  think you want.
C:5.30 relationship with you would add to your discomfort and your pain. To  think that any relationship can cause terror, discomfort, or pain is
C:5.31 You  think that to come in contact with violence is to have a relationship
C:6.10 in effort to attain it? And even if it were so, what then? Some, you  think, might choose to live near the equator, to have the sun shine
C:6.10 the 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
C:6.12 Heaven and its milieu of eternal peace is rightly kept, you  think, for the end of life, and so you scream at the unfairness when
C:6.16 and the rain falls on the good and evil alike.” Why then do you  think that peace is endless sunshine? Peace is merely enjoyment of
C:6.19  Think about this now—for how could heaven be a separate place? A
C:6.20 those you love severed when they leave this world? Do you not still  think of them? And do you not still think of them as who they were in
C:6.20 this world? Do you not still think of them? And do you not still  think of them as who they were in life? What is the difference, in
C:7.23 be open to a new kind of evidence of what constitutes the truth.  Think of no other outcomes than your happiness, and when happiness
C:8.6 You  think of the heart as the place of feeling, and thus you associate
C:8.8 What foolishness to  think love could abide with companions such as these. If these be in
C:8.9 your heart lies love’s reality, a reality so foreign to you that you  think you remember it not. Yet it is to this reality we head as we
C:8.15  Think of your body now as the surface of your existence and look upon
C:8.17 you are, and you could not be anywhere else. Your home is here. You  think this is incongruous with the truth as I’m revealing it, the
C:8.17 home, but it is not. There is no here in the terms that you would  think of it, the terms that set your reality in a location, on a
C:8.19 described in A Course in Miracles as the Holy Instant. You may not  think observation of your body is a good way to achieve this, but as
C:8.26 How like to memory it is to  think a thing remembered in every smallest detail and yet to have no
C:8.26 is twisted and distorted by what you would have it be. Everyone can  think of at least one long remembered incident that when given to the
C:9.6 just like every other object that shares the space you occupy.  Think for a moment of what the creator of such a body would have
C:9.10 back and observe your body, always with the vision of your heart,  think about just what it is that you would use it for. What God
C:9.21  Think now of one of those you have identified as living the life of
C:9.21 absence of hunger is fullness. The absence of violence peace. You  think that if you but provide these things that are opposite to what
C:9.22 I have said when you do this unto others you do this to me. Do you  think that I am in need of a meal, a cup of water, a warm bed? While
C:9.30  Think of your automobile or computer or any other thing you use.
C:9.38 your prayerfulness. Like a diversified investment portfolio, you  think this parceling out of different aspects of yourself protects
C:9.43 based on use is to see a world where freedom is impossible. What you  think you need your sister for is thus based upon this insane premise
C:9.43 or athletic or artistic talent that can be used, how lucky you  think you are. A beautiful face and a fit body can be traded for so
C:9.45 All such confusion stems from the initial confusion of the use you  think your body would put you to. All such confusion stems from your
C:9.46 from God, still you blame God for creating a situation in which you  think you have been allowed to hurt yourself. How could God allow all
C:10.1 your separation. That it has seeming power can only be because you  think you put your power there. If this were true, much power indeed
C:10.1 with the power of creation without your joining with it. How, you  think, could you be more linked with anything than you are with your
C:10.3 separate from your own and must exist in the reality where you  think you are.
C:10.5 the greatest hurdle to overcome. As you observe the body and dare to  think of life without it, you again and again encounter its reality.
C:10.5 to you that it is insurmountable. Many people at this point try to  think these maladies away, and when they do not succeed they see this
C:10.5 evidence of their entrenchment in the body. Beware all attempts to  think the body away and to think miracles into existence. This desire
C:10.5 in the body. Beware all attempts to think the body away and to  think miracles into existence. This desire merely shows you know not
C:10.7  Think of another, a teacher or a parent, whose “voice” you hear as
C:10.12 in God, in me, in heaven and in an afterlife is that you do not  think you will be proven wrong here. If you are wrong, you will
C:10.26 conceived from meanness. There will be a happier self who seems to  think this game is rather fun, and who is not at all concerned with
C:11.2 You  think your source and your Creator are two separate things, and too
C:11.9 To  think you must protect anything from God is insane, and you know that
C:11.9 up its protection. It does not matter to you that it is insane to  think that He who has given you everything seeks to take anything
C:11.9 you. While you still view yourself as a body, you cannot help but  think of God as a vengeful God whose final vengeance is your own
C:11.9 God whose final vengeance is your own death. While you still  think of your self as a body, it is easier to accept that your
C:11.9 your banishment from paradise was God’s decision, not your own. You  think you can be grateful to Him for some things and blame Him for
C:11.9 for some things and blame Him for others. Yes, perhaps this God you  think you know has given you everything, but He can also take it all
C:11.10 and cherish your free will, the true god of the separated self. You  think at times that this was God’s mistake, the one weakness in His
C:11.10 weakness in His plan, and one that you would use. At other times you  think that this was but God’s curse on you, a thing to tempt you to
C:11.17 you to do nothing but to remain faithful to it. You do not need to  think about it, but only let it be. You need put no words on it, for
C:12.2 to be told you know love not. You feel a little deceived to  think that love may not be limited to what you have thought it to be.
C:12.2 that love may not be limited to what you have thought it to be. You  think it is typical of a spiritual text to tell you love is the
C:12.7 to any ideas that seem to be about change. What little that you  think you know you would strive to keep, and yet deep down you
C:12.8 change at all, for it merely seeks to remove all the changes you but  think that you have made to God’s creation. This change seeks but to
C:12.15 Joined minds cannot  think separately and have no hidden thoughts. They are, in fact, not
C:13.8 but know that anything that distracts you from the little self you  think you are is worth the minutes you would give to its
C:14.1 within God’s creation, rather than in the world that you have made.  Think but a minute of this, and you will begin to see the enormity of
C:14.2 can be achieved any more than can your separation from what you  think is unlike you.
C:14.6 who is insane. You—who pride yourself on reason and practicality—  think if a creation such as this could contain any reason whatsoever.
C:14.7 You who have made a god of reason and of intellect,  think carefully now of what your reason and your intellect have made
C:14.9  Think you not that reason opposes love, for love gives reason its
C:14.15 that you consider valuable you could not wait to share. Perhaps you  think the desire to keep things for yourself stems from something
C:14.18 You  think that you are quite aware of your small space within the
C:14.18 within the universe, and that it is foolishness to say that you  think otherwise. Yet, since only what you know is part of your
C:14.21 still believe that love exists despite fear’s claim upon it, and  think that they are lucky to have found a love to shield them for a
C:14.22 make you special to someone else, and that one special to you. You  think this is what love is for, and so you make of it something it is
C:14.29 You  think love is what you value most, and so resist any notion that what
C:14.29 and so resist any notion that what you view as love is not what you  think it is. But as long as you equate love with the special ones on
C:14.30 fact, you have no hope of change, nor does your world. You who  think, “What harm can come of loving this one above all others?”
C:14.30 who think, “What harm can come of loving this one above all others?”  think again. For you are choosing not to love but to make special.
C:15.1 to love without the interference of all that would make special. You  think issues of survival rule the world—and so they do, but they
C:15.4 parents or your friends, and would be quite content to have them  think you special and to make them special to you. Out in the wider
C:15.4 special and to make them special to you. Out in the wider world you  think you are anonymous and so are they. If within the small sphere
C:15.7 to you. It diminishes your freedom, and for no end. For what others  think of you does not make you special, nor does what you think or do
C:15.7 others think of you does not make you special, nor does what you  think or do for others make them special. All notions of popularity,
C:15.9 seems the ultimate act of disloyalty to your own kind. To even  think that you could change and be unlike others of your kind, you
C:16.1 not from another. Love is not available from anyone in the way you  think it is. Love has but one source! That this source lies within
C:16.12 but true forgiveness is as foreign to you as is true love. You  think forgiveness looks upon another in judgment and pardons the
C:16.14 You  think you cannot give up your vigilance because you know no other way
C:16.15 many that you do not are all that make your life worth living. You  think that to be asked to give up the caution, protection, and
C:16.16 and culture indulge in the desire to judge, the more godlike they  think they make themselves. For all of you here know that judgment is
C:16.18 who judges all of creation as it was created and remains. You only  think that you have changed the unchangeable.
C:16.22 in your identity. For you are not powerless. Those of you who  think you have traditional means of power on your side turn not to
C:16.24 not want. You look back on stories of sacrifice from the Bible and  think what a barbaric time that was, and yet you repeat the same
C:16.24 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 give away your power and then
C:16.25 power created the world of illusion in which you live, and so you  think another must be able to do it better. You no longer trust
C:16.25 do, you reason, society would collapse and anarchy would rule. You  think you are only fair in deciding that if everyone cannot do what
C:18.4 Yet this is, in effect, what you  think you have done. You think that you have changed the nature of
C:18.4 Yet this is, in effect, what you think you have done. You  think that you have changed the nature of the universe and made it
C:18.22 While we spoke of what you  think of as emotion being reactions of the body to stimulus, we did
C:18.24 and replace them with feelings of love causes all your distress.  Think not that you react to pain of any kind with the love from your
C:19.13 of duality. It cannot be otherwise in your separated state. You must  think in terms of “I” and “them,” “death and life,” “good and evil.”
C:19.16 To  think without thought or know without words are ideas quite foreign
C:19.22 more in the way of reflection than review, although if you were to  think of this as a re-viewing of your self, you would be quite
C:20.14 I am alive and you do believe this or you would not be here. Yet you  think not of me living and imagine it not. Christ reigns in the
C:20.29 Miracles are expressions of love. You might  think of them as acts of cooperation. Holiness cannot be contained,
C:20.47 the greater life of the universe. You must understand that when you  think of your personal life, personal concerns, personal
C:20.47 to me and they are all I need concern myself with.” Even when you  think of expanding your view, you deem that expansion unrealistic.
C:20.48 the return to what is known. This knowing you might call wisdom and  think of as an attainable ideal of thought. Yet it is not about
C:22.9 day must pass through you in order to gain reality. While you might  think of this as everything outside of yourself, please, when
C:22.11 You might  think of the axis for a moment as a funnel through which eternity is
C:22.12 pass through one or another of your five senses—which you might  think of collectively as layers—and are allowed no other access.
C:22.19 The personal and individual is the “I” we are dispelling.  Think a moment of how you tell a story or report on events that have
C:22.20 when you walk out your door in the morning you might generally  think, “What a lovely day.” What this sentence says is that you have
C:23.9 in a small room. This is not relationship. When you are tempted to  think of relationship having to do with physical proximity, think of
C:23.9 to think of relationship having to do with physical proximity,  think of this example. Now imagine communities of faith. Around the
C:23.10 This is true of the body as well.  Think of the way in which the word body is used and this will be
C:25.13 as hurt, but you do feel these emotions as wounds. While you  think you can remain disappointed or disillusioned, you will not be
C:25.23 this is exactly when a time of stillness is needed. You might  think of this time of stillness as a time of consulting with your new
C:26.1 career, religious commitment, or creative endeavors. Some would  think of travel and adventure, friendships, or financial security.
C:26.1 and adventure, friendships, or financial security. Most of you will  think of having a long life.
C:26.7 if you were to attempt to assign the meaning to your life that you  think it should have, a fall would surely await you, at least in your
C:26.22  Think a moment of a novel or movie with no plot. This would be the
C:26.25 of that thought and that pattern. The only way to know it is to  think it once again. The only way to think it once again is to be
C:26.25 The only way to know it is to think it once again. The only way to  think it once again is to be wholehearted, for a split mind and heart
C:26.25 once again is to be wholehearted, for a split mind and heart do not  think clearly.
C:27.10 only exist in relationship to you only exist as relationship? You  think it is, and feel yourself further diminished and lacking in
C:27.12 you are not learning the truth. You do not understand because you  think in terms of singularity rather than in terms of unity. This is
C:27.16 Will to be done. You fear being a miracle worker because you do not  think that you will ever know what is called for.
C:27.18 see it here, the power of details and the information of which you  think when desiring or fearing a fate of prophecy. The power we speak
C:28.3 testimony validates the proof of inner and collective knowing. You  think shared beliefs amass, like a congregation around a pulpit, and
C:28.7 You would  think of this as the time of work being done. This it is, but without
C:28.9 to know pointless to you as well as to those you would convince? You  think that when you are enlightened enough to know, you are also
C:28.9 enough to know what to do with what you know. While you continue to  think of a separation in terms of doing and of knowing, it is obvious
C:29.2 choice, a course that will lead you to a subservient stature. Others  think of it in terms of charity, and continue to see a difference
C:29.11 Many of you  think of life itself as toil. There is much you need to do just to
C:29.11 ideas of service. You have no time for more than you do now, and you  think of service, if you think of it at all, as something to be fit
C:29.11 no time for more than you do now, and you think of service, if you  think of it at all, as something to be fit in here or there where it
C:30.4 is being present. Being present has nothing to do with time as you  think of it. You think of this instruction to be present as an
C:30.4 Being present has nothing to do with time as you think of it. You  think of this instruction to be present as an instruction that
C:30.4 to be present as an instruction that relates to time. You  think of present time, past time, future time. We have spoken of
C:30.5 achieved. For universal consciousness is knowing Self, while you  think it is knowing all. Knowing Self is knowing all, but this you do
C:30.11 information, some guarantee, some proof or validation. You might  think if you are “right” you will be successful, if you are
C:30.13 The source of love and its location is your own heart.  Think now of the created form, the body. When the heart stops
C:31.10 is the reason for man’s quest for God throughout all time. Man may  think he looks to God for answers, for release from pain, for reward,
C:31.15 All that you would keep private and unshared is, in essence, who you  think you are. I say who you think you are because it is important to
C:31.15 and unshared is, in essence, who you think you are. I say who you  think you are because it is important to distinguish who you think
C:31.15 who you think you are because it is important to distinguish who you  think you are from who you truly are. On the one hand, you think that
C:31.15 who you think you are from who you truly are. On the one hand, you  think that you are your past, your shame, your guilt; on the other
C:31.18 worrying about honesty and sharing being about some need to confess,  think a moment about why you are worried. The idea of confessing is
C:31.18 who you are being all tied up with sin and a need for forgiveness,  think of this simply as a need to share. This would seem antithetical
C:31.18 said—that what you keep you lose, and what you share you gain. You  think of confessing as a way of letting go and getting rid of that
C:31.22 Sharing is thus not about who you  think you are, but about who you truly are, and yet it is the way to
C:31.29 their Selves in you. If you are constantly reflecting back what you  think your brothers and sisters want to see, they can learn nothing
C:31.29 to see, they can learn nothing from you. If your truth about who you  think you are changes day-to-day, you are reflecting the very variety
C:31.30 You do not  think you are looking for yourself in others, but think instead that
C:31.30 You do not think you are looking for yourself in others, but  think instead that you are looking for something or someone other
C:32.4 Love, and your relationship with Love has returned you to your Self.  Think not. This Course requires no thought and no effort. There is no

T1:2.1 The closing pages of A Course of Love instructed you to  think no more. A break in time was needed for you to disengage the
T1:2.7 such focused thoughts and thus further entrenched the ego-mind. To  think that you could learn the truth of who you are through these
T1:3.6 to call upon. For calling upon miracles is an act of faith. You  think the quest for miracles is a quest for proof that demonstrates a
T1:3.9 Observe yourself as you  think through this question. Can you remove all fear from it? Why
T1:3.9 at doing, you want to choose the “right” miracle. Some of you may  think through just what kind of miracle would be most convincing to
T1:3.9 you see this exercise as what it is, an attempt to convince you to  think otherwise about yourself. If you ask for a cure for a disease,
T1:3.11 miracles is, the fear of not being able to perform is greater. You  think of this as a test and one you can pass or fail. And what’s
T1:4.10  Think of all you now feel responsible for and this lesson will become
T1:4.14 Do you  think the Creator is responsible for what was created? To think of
T1:4.14 Do you think the Creator is responsible for what was created? To  think of the Creator in this way is to think of the Creator with the
T1:4.14 for what was created? To think of the Creator in this way is to  think of the Creator with the upside-down thinking of the ego-mind.
T1:4.19 interpretation of events and feelings has given them their meaning—  think again. Their meaning exists already and is not up to you to
T1:4.19 and the feelings they have aroused have defined who you are,  think again. Be willing to apply the art of thought rather than the
T1:5.10 The body, and thus the “you” whom you  think you are, would not experience anything without the presence of
T1:8.17 We have talked thus far of union of heart and mind. Lest you  think that this union is not all-encompassing, we will reflect a
T1:9.3 an elevation beyond form, it must begin in the reality where you  think you are. In other words, it must begin with form. You cannot
T1:9.15 might be to puff oneself up with pride, bolster one’s position,  think one’s way through, argue, manipulate, or chastise another so
T1:10.2 back. You will experience this loss of extremes as a lack. You will  think something is wrong. You will feel this particularly when others
T1:10.2 that a wave of desire to be fully human will wash over you. You will  think that this human who has caught your attention is fully engaged
T1:10.2 is fully engaged and fully experiencing the moment. You will  think this is what you want. And I say again that it will not matter
T1:10.3 or the most all-encompassing joy, you will feel inhuman. You will  think that this cannot be where you are meant to be, what you are
T1:10.9 grief that also became an experience of profound learning. You will  think that you would not be who you are now without experiences such
T1:10.9 be who you are now without experiences such as this one. You will  think that I cannot possibly be asking you to give up these types of
T2:1.3 physical treasure except to say that the feelings that cause one to  think that any physical thing is capable of being a treasure or being
T2:1.4 internal treasures you had once hoped to have become abilities. You  think this willingness to accept who you are now is what this Course
T2:1.8 and the chaos that seems to reign there. You must realize that you  think in terms of place because you think in terms of form. Thus even
T2:1.8 there. You must realize that you think in terms of place because you  think in terms of form. Thus even I have often used the idea of place
T2:1.8 idea of place as a teaching aid. But you are ready now to begin to  think without the need for form.
T2:1.13 Ego desires cause one to  think of a grand piano. Thoughts joined in unity hear music. Ego

T2:2.9 You  think that what prevents you from being who you are is far broader
T2:2.9 simple idea of hearing and following a calling would indicate. You  think what prevents you from being who you are is far broader than a
T2:3.3 Your mind exists in unity. Your heart exists where you  think you are, thus providing the means for union between where you
T2:3.3 think you are, thus providing the means for union between where you  think you are and where your being actually resides. Remember always
T2:4.2 completely contrary to the meaning of creation. Yet you continue to  think that you stand apart from it and affect it not. This is
T2:4.3 the ego-mind that has provided you with an identity that you but  think you are. A Course of Love then followed in order to reveal to
T2:4.3 you truly are. While you continue to act within the world as who you  think you are rather than as who you are, you have not integrated
T2:4.4 acted out of a set of conditions that corresponded to who you  think you are rather than who you truly are.
T2:4.5 You will almost literally continue to “bump in” to who you  think you are as you complete the process of unlearning. It might be
T2:4.5 world as who you truly are is like swimming, bumping in to who you  think you are could be likened to trying to move within water as you
T2:4.6 in learning to recognize when you are acting upon notions of who you  think you are rather than on who you truly are, is the appearance of
T2:4.11 callings, matters not at this juncture. What matters is that you  think it does. You think it matters because you compare and judge
T2:4.11 not at this juncture. What matters is that you think it does. You  think it matters because you compare and judge rather than accept.
T2:4.19 of it grows, it is going to raise it to a level you will come to  think of as an ability. As your old way of responding to life causes
T2:5.4 These calls you may  think of as signs. Like literal signposts along a roadway, they alert
T2:6.2 end of time as you know it is close at hand. If you can begin now to  think without the barriers of time you but place upon your thinking,
T2:6.5 What does this mean in regards to time? You might  think of being accomplished as all of your work being done. If there
T2:6.10 As I have already said that your heart must exist where you  think you are, you can begin to see that this change in thinking will
T2:9.1 felt from another the desire to help or to meet your needs. Do not  think that this desire is not present in all relationships. It is
T2:9.4 a job or loved one or even of the promise of some service. When you  think in such a way you believe in loss and gain rather than in the
T2:9.7 only. Thinking beings share needs because of the way in which they  think. That some seem to have more needs than others is a fallacy of
T2:9.11 as it is of special relationships and what you might more readily  think of as treasure, such as a successful career or inspired
T2:9.16 is complete. Once this trust is realized you will no longer  think in terms of needs at all. Once you are no longer concerned with
T2:9.17 Holding on to what you  think will meet your needs is like holding your breath. Your breath
T2:9.17 and take of breathing that you live. Each time you are tempted to  think that your needs can only be met in special ways by special
T2:9.17 special relationships, remember this example of holding your breath.  Think in such a way no longer than you can comfortably hold your
T2:9.18 which trust can grow. Once this trust is realized you will no longer  think of trust just as you will no longer think of needs.
T2:9.18 you will no longer think of trust just as you will no longer  think of needs.
T2:9.19 Ceasing to  think in these terms will soon be seen as a valuable ability and a
T2:10.3 I ask you to  think for a moment of a time when you attempted to recall a specific
T2:10.4 You might  think of unity as you have so often thought of your brain, but rather
T2:10.4 of your brain, but rather than thinking of it in the singular,  think of it as a storehouse or giant brain in which all that has ever
T2:10.8 to lie beyond your ability lies in the Christ in you. You might  think of the ego as the hand that swats away this knowing.
T2:10.15 for you to believe that the Christ in you is in need of learning.  Think a moment of why this should be so. Is there ever a moment in
T2:10.17 What difference does it make to your concepts of learning when you  think of life as your coursework? Would you be any more willing to
T2:10.18 What are your plans and dreams but chosen lessons? While you do not  think of them as such you do not think of life as your learning
T2:10.18 chosen lessons? While you do not think of them as such you do not  think of life as your learning ground. You still think of lessons as
T2:10.18 as such you do not think of life as your learning ground. You still  think of lessons as being about specific subject matter. When life
T2:11.10 Realize that when you  think that this total reversal of thought concerning yourself and
T2:11.16 the world will not change and you will not know who you are. You may  think you know, and you may waste much time in perceived battles,
T2:12.5 other than your own thinking that is in need of correction you  think falsely. Right-thinking is the realm of miracles.
T2:13.4 of false thinking because I lived among you as a thinking being.  Think not that I was different than you and you will realize that we
T3:2.1 to serve to have anything exist only as a representation? We might  think of this in terms of original purpose and the original purpose
T3:2.1 are not expressions that remain contained to who you are or who you  think yourself to be. They are not expressions of the self alone.
T3:2.4 time was spent within this Course, discussing the choice you but  think you made, this discussion was necessary only in the same terms
T3:2.11 you, but you who abandoned your Self and God. Give up your desire to  think that if you did such a thing there was a reason for you to have
T3:3.8 You cannot  think your way to the new life that calls to you. You can only get
T3:3.9 this Course, your self is still seen as a stumbling block. You might  think that were you able to live in some ideal community, away from
T3:3.9 simply declare yourself unsuitable for further learning. Whether you  think such thoughts consciously or not, there is a part of you that
T3:6.1 from God, some from life, some from fate. No matter who it is you  think is in charge of rewarding you, the attitude that causes you to
T3:8.4 of bitterness as something that you are attached to, I want you to  think of attachments for a time and see how bitterness does indeed
T3:8.6 your ancestors for the history, both ancient and recent, that you  think you would have given anything to change? Do you look upon the
T3:9.3 and finding a completely new reality beyond its walls. You might  think, at first, that you are in a place so foreign that you must
T3:10.13  Think of this, for a moment as you would a learned language. If you
T3:10.13 But eventually, if this situation went on for many years, you might  think you had forgotten your ability to understand English.
T3:10.14 of the ego into the thought system of the Christ-Self that you but  think you have forgotten. As you dwell in the House of Truth, if you
T3:11.12 no different than I am, then you must see that you cannot begin to  think of yourself as different than your brothers and sisters. All
T3:11.12 the House of Truth because it is where your brothers and sisters  think they are. The house of illusion is not a hell to which anyone
T3:13.7 way must be birthed and lived by. While most of you will immediately  think of your survival needs, this is far from the only area in which
T3:14.2 If you have felt a lack of respect you may feel that what others  think of you matters not and enjoy a heightened self-concept. While
T3:14.5 What this means to the learning stage you are at now is that you but  think you are discontent with much of your life. As you begin to
T3:14.11 up bitterness in order to usher in a world of peace, would you not  think this a selfish act?
T3:14.12 Atonement, or correction, is not of you but of God. You might  think of this in terms of nature and look upon nature’s ability to
T3:16.10 or to desires that you may feel have gone unfulfilled. While you may  think that this means you are being asked to do without, this is not
T3:17.6 such as Holy Spirit, are but word symbols that represent what is. So  think now of whatever stories you know of the Holy Spirit, stories
T3:19.8 and effect are not influenced by what comes of fear. You may still  think that suffering and “bad” behavior have had great effects but
T3:19.14 You would  think that this disparity would be divisive and extremely
T3:19.14 the house of illusion will still be able to deny what they see. Just  think of how many saints and miracles you have heard of in the past
T3:20.6  Think about a situation in which you have observed the illness or
T3:20.6 Judgment is never far from these observations. Suffering, you would  think, could not be seen as anything but “bad.” You cannot feel
T3:20.7 such circumstances. You cannot imagine not offering sympathy. You  think it naïve to believe in positive outcomes. You listen to
T3:20.7 that God spare this one from a future seemingly already written, and  think that is more realistic and even helpful than living by the laws
T3:20.8 call for the same response, the response of love to love. Why  think you it is loving to believe in suffering? Do you not begin to
T3:20.11 who you are and because you realize you can no longer be, live, or  think as other than who you are in truth. This is how thorough your
T3:21.8 This certainty is antithetical to you. You  think that to believe in one truth is to deny other truths. There is
T3:21.11 simply because you could not exist without an identity. You might  think of this as being certain of facts and information, for these
T3:21.13 behaviors that fall within the parameters of your belief system. You  think of these things as part of what make up the totality of who you
T3:21.24 of this Course than you to be the savior only you can be. Do not  think that only those who are more bold than you or who speak more
T3:22.1 to a leadership role, you know that you are called to something and  think that you as yet know not what that something is. You think that
T3:22.1 and think that you as yet know not what that something is. You  think that to be asked to simply “live” by the truth could not
T4:2.9 upon hearing 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
T4:2.10 these false ideas that would keep you from this awareness. If you  think you can observe in judgment you do not understand the
T4:2.19 as holy as your Self. This holiness need only be observed. When you  think in terms of evangelizing or convincing, you think in terms of
T4:2.19 observed. When you think in terms of evangelizing or convincing, you  think in terms of future outcome rather than in terms of what already
T4:2.23  Think of this denial now, for it is still evident in the pattern of
T4:2.29 yet recognize it when you experience it. This is why you can still  think of observance of what is as a game of make believe and feel
T4:4.2 the pattern that has been taken to extremes within your world. You  think of birth as creation and death as rest. You do not realize that
T4:4.10 prolonged without a substantial change in the nature of life. To  think of living on and on as you have lived your life thus far would
T4:4.16 exist now. Remember, the heart must abide in the reality where you  think you are. Only through your mind’s acceptance of your new
T4:5.2 exist with you, form the orchestra and chorus of creation. You might  think of your time here as that of being apprentice musicians. You
T4:5.4 to live, this one Energy had to enter your form and exist where you  think you are. This is the Energy of Love, the Energy of Creation,
T4:5.5 but an extension of this energy, a representation of it. You might  think of this as a small spark of the energy that has created a
T4:5.9 is as impossible as it would be for the finger to do so. And yet you  think that this is possible and that this is the meaning of free
T4:5.11 human form. When you die, you do not die to who you are or who you  think you are. You do not die to choice. At the time of death you are
T4:5.12 only after your death that you chose direct revelation by God.  Think about this now and you will see that it is true. You hoped to
T4:7.5 just like your heart, exists in the state or reality in which you  think you are. The only thing that has created an unreal reality for
T4:8.14 one whose name and identity is synonymous with creation? You like to  think that God knows everything, and God surely knows everything that
T4:8.16 You  think of a state of knowing as a state of there being nothing you do
T4:10.2 rather than studying, and yet you will quickly see that you merely  think of experience as learning through a different means than
T4:12.10 concerns and questions, you will be prone to continue to  think of yourself as a learning being. While these dialogues continue
T4:12.10 to address these same questions and concerns, you will be prone to  think of them as teaching dialogues and to consider yourself still a
T4:12.18  Think and speak no more of the suffering of the past. Spread the
T4:12.19 try to remember to turn to the new rather than the old each time you  think you are experiencing uncertainty or lack.
T4:12.23 it. It cannot be grasped by the singular consciousness. You could  think of this as something which, were it integrated into the thought
D:1.7 prepare and plan. It does not know how to do otherwise. You do not  think you know how to do otherwise.
D:1.19 As you begin this Dialogue, questions naturally arise. You might  think that for the receiver, or transcriber, of this Dialogue, this
D:1.20 of the transcriber of these words were the way for everyone, and  think not that to hear “directly” from the Source is different than
D:2.18 is based on the workings of a split mind and a split mind does not  think clearly.
D:3.17 with me and all that was created and you cannot do so while you  think of me as teacher and yourself as student. While you think of
D:3.17 while you think of me as teacher and yourself as student. While you  think of yourself as a learning being you will still be looking to
D:4.5 and any arguments you would cite about the heinous crimes of some.  Think instead of prison simply becoming a way of life for those who
D:4.12 not be beyond your belief. Despite the differences in what you see,  think, and feel, there is but one external divine pattern that
D:4.16 divine pattern. The ego is one such system. It may seem peculiar to  think of the ego as a system, and we have heretofore referred to both
D:5.6 was created in order to show—to teach—that joining is the way.  Think of the word desire and its association with sex. To desire
D:5.8 the becoming it would need to take on the properties of the truth.  Think of the ego again as an example here. The ego but seemed to be
D:5.13 and this is not needed now. The desire for such is a desire to  think through once again the meaning of everything and to have a tool
D:5.18 Yet what you  think imprisons you is also what I am addressing here. Release
D:5.20 what was once a prison may no longer be a prison! If you continue to  think of your body as a prison, if you continue to think of your
D:5.20 you continue to think of your body as a prison, if you continue to  think of your environment, your mind, and time as a prison, how can
D:6.6 and what exists as inanimate or non-living form. While you might  think this is an easily drawn distinction—and it is—it is not
D:6.8 of economics and science—the systems—in short, of what you  think governs you.
D:6.14 with you. So let us begin with a suspension of belief in what you  think you know about the body, in what science would tell you about
D:6.16 about the time of discovery that is before you. Calling what you  think you know into question is not a call to return to uncertainty,
D:6.17 If you  think of the “old” as a world in which an attitude of “if this, then
D:6.19 When a person who has exhibited healthy habits get sick, you  think it is unfair. When a person who has exhibited unhealthy habits
D:6.19 When a person who has exhibited unhealthy habits gets sick, you  think, even if you would not say, that they “did it to themselves” or
D:7.16 Your envisioning too is bound to time and that is why so many of you  think of envisioning as envisioning the future. Envisioning is less
D:7.28 far from the building in which you dwell. What I ask you to do is to  think of these areas as the territory of your body, and to remember
D:8.2 of not being bound by this constraint. In all of your life, you can  think of no ability you have not achieved through learning. And yet
D:8.4 You might  think of this ability that existed prior to the time of learning as
D:8.7 of the new will naturally include much that goes beyond what you now  think of as your natural talents or abilities, the place or Source of
D:8.9 means of thinking. What has been learned will become an ability to  think wholeheartedly, or with mind and heart in union, and then that
D:9.2 of what imprisons you, only to have it later suggested that what you  think imprisons you may not be what imprisons you at all. What you
D:9.2 think imprisons you may not be what imprisons you at all. What you  think is what imprisons you.
D:9.3 You continue to  think that your desire to know who you are calls you to think about
D:9.3 continue to think that your desire to know who you are calls you to  think about who you are and in that thinking to come up with a
D:9.12 and received. They are surprising and pleasing in nature. You may  think that they are the result of learning, of thoughts you have
D:9.12 of thoughts you have contemplated and struggled with. You may  think that all of your previous learning and thinking merely resulted
D:10.3 You  think that the use you put these givens to, what you do with them,
D:10.3 unique and individual accomplishment. Such it is. But when you also  think that it is your hard work and diligence, your effort and
D:10.3 and struggle, that bring the expression of these givens forward, you  think in error and limit your expression in much the same ways that
D:10.4 is not of union but of the individual self. You may feel that to  think of this in any other way will leave you with no individual,
D:11.2 example can you not see the fallacy inherent in all the others? To  think of these Dialogues in this way, dear brothers and sisters, is
D:11.2 Dialogues in this way, dear brothers and sisters, is insane. To  think of the thought or idea of God by which you were created as the
D:11.2 of information from whom another is capable of taking notes? You  think it is only the content of your thoughts that differentiate you
D:11.2 content of your thoughts that differentiate you from others. Do you  think the same is true of you and me? It is that you think that
D:11.2 others. Do you think the same is true of you and me? It is that you  think that differentiates you from me, not our content, which is one
D:11.3 You might imagine that the way you  think is so different from the way I think that they are
D:11.3 might imagine that the way you think is so different from the way I  think that they are incomparable. But thinking is not an accurate
D:11.6 Let me ask you a question. Do you  think desire will still be with you when you have achieved what you
D:11.13 with the vision of unity you become as I was during life. You do not  think your way through life, but instead draw your knowing forth from
D:12.4 what occurs here. You have “entered into” this dialogue. While you  think these words come to you through the written form of this book,
D:12.11 I am not saying that your ego is still at work because you still  think in the same way as before. I am about to make the two main
D:12.11 of the separated self and does not serve you. The way in which you  think may seem vastly improved since the ego ruled or may seem only
D:12.17 I have said about your way of thinking being insane is true. You  think it is perfectly sane to go through life without knowing
D:13.9 come to the knowing of the state of unity alone. Why then would you  think that you could come to full expression of what you have come to
D:16.9 between the way that is and what is lies in choice. While you  think that you can choose to stand apart from God, apart from Love,
D:16.9 to be who you are, without allowing for self-expression. You might  think that you can be simply because you exist and that as long as
D:16.9 because you are being something. You are alive. You have form. You  think and feel. You have even been told that you would cease to be
D:16.9 you would cease to be without the existence of spirit, and so, you  think, you must at least be. You are, after all, called a human being.
D:17.14 asked of you earlier, for they are even more pertinent now. Do you  think desire will still be with you when you have achieved what you
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
D:Day1.11 this power comes from one source and some from another. You may  think that, as long as the power is called forth, it matters not the
D:Day1.11 called forth, it matters not the name by which it is called. You may  think that it all comes from the same source, regardless of what the
D:Day1.11 to your needs of healing, or you may make many choices. You may  think these choices matter not, but only the power of the healer.
D:Day3.9 for your life will assist you in living abundantly will cause you to  think, “I doubt it.” Or, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” You might
D:Day3.9 think, “I doubt it.” Or, “I’ll believe it when I see it.” You might  think spirituality can assist you in living a more simple life and
D:Day3.11 money or abundance is not a “given” for all, but only for a few, you  think of it much like the “given” of natural gifts or talents, the
D:Day3.14 To  think in such terms, and then to see such thoughts as even capable of
D:Day3.14 thoughts as even capable of having spiritual value, is something you  think of as insane. There seems no remedy, and so you would rather
D:Day3.14 knowing may even say to yourself as you read them that you no longer  think in such a way, they are there in the learned pattern and you
D:Day3.20 is a power that is denied, rarely acknowledged, seldom spoken of.  Think you not that the shame that comes from heartaches or mistaken
D:Day3.21 you would consider a shaming act. You would fear that they might  think you want something from them and you would suffer
D:Day3.22 upon having the “means” to pursue it, and few of you truly  think that money would not solve most of your problems. Even those of
D:Day3.22 most of your problems. Even those of you on this spiritual path  think money is among the greatest limits to what you can accomplish,
D:Day3.29 You  think abundance is the most difficult thing to demonstrate, when it
D:Day3.29 difficult thing to demonstrate, when it is actually the easiest. You  think you could learn what is for you the most difficult type of
D:Day3.29 learn how to make money, or in other words, to have abundance. You  think you could more easily find love than money, even those of you
D:Day3.30 unworried about your health until the slightest pain makes you  think of cancer. In this same way, there are not any of you, those
D:Day3.32 And so you might  think, here, of what has brought you joy. A home, a garden, a musical
D:Day3.33 You might  think here too that money made from what you love to do has a
D:Day3.33 to do has a different quality than money earned from toil. You might  think that money earned from what you love to do is the answer, just
D:Day3.33 earned from what you love to do is the answer, just as you might  think that money spent on the more lasting pleasures such as the
D:Day3.39 you had known before. We spoke of this as thoughts you did not  think. We spoke of these thoughts you did not think coming with
D:Day3.39 thoughts you did not think. We spoke of these thoughts you did not  think coming with authority and certainty, a certainty you had
D:Day3.40 but since for most of you it has arisen as thoughts you did not  think, if you were to make an association in regards to entry, you
D:Day3.40 of the mind and heart joined in unity. It would be more true to  think of this joining as creating a portal of access, a new source of
D:Day3.54 and receive it, express it and share it. And yet you continue to  think that if you had money or abundance, you would accept and
D:Day3.57 is an active function. It is something given you to do. You  think it is difficult, but it is only difficult until it becomes easy.
D:Day3.58 While you  think of acceptance as just another word, another concept, another
D:Day4.6 breathing, yet neither do you, under normal circumstances, have to  think about breathing. You might begin to think of all the “givens”
D:Day4.6 circumstances, have to think about breathing. You might begin to  think of all the “givens” of unity as those things that require no
D:Day4.7 time of language that constitutes your ideas about what it means to  think. In evolutionary terms this was true as well. Despite the
D:Day4.7 has not left any of you. You all begin life without the ability to  think in the terms you now associate almost exclusively with
D:Day4.9 identify the world in the same way—the way that has been taught—  think that you have succeeded in learning, is the cause of the
D:Day4.15 the mind. We have spoken of thoughts that arise that you didn’t  think. We have spoken of talents that were not learned. We have
D:Day4.29 like breathing, something that is natural to you until you begin to  think about it. Realize how unnatural your breathing becomes when it
D:Day4.31 In practical terms, you might  think of this as a disengagement from the details. Thinking is about
D:Day4.35 You might  think of the mountain top as symbolic of a place close to God. If God
D:Day4.35 touch God, stretch just a little more and reach heaven. You thus may  think of this time on the mountain as a time of getting in touch with
D:Day4.35 with your own access to God, your own access to heaven. You might  think that if you stretch your idea of reality just a little bit
D:Day4.42 Smile with me now, as you  think of yourself in this elevated place. You are still the self of
D:Day4.50 odd timing as you have just been asked to accept your anger. Just  think. Anger was discussed rather casually alongside accepting me,
D:Day4.50 to accept. Accept all. You do not have to hesitate here because you  think you are still angry, or think you are still depressed. When you
D:Day4.50 not have to hesitate here because you think you are still angry, or  think you are still depressed. When you hesitate you have not
D:Day4.52 that fear is all that needs to be left behind. You will still  think you have more to learn because you are angry, depressed, in a
D:Day4.54 You but  think that you can wholeheartedly desire to move forward with love
D:Day4.55  Think a moment of the story of the prodigal son. All that the
D:Day4.55 son was asked to do was to accept his own homecoming. Do you  think he would have considered himself perfect as he approached his
D:Day4.57 you have reached some ideal of enlightenment or what you might  think of as perfection. If this were asked of you, how many of you
D:Day5.13 of giving and receiving as one within your own heart. You might  think of access in the same way—as enabling you to realize that you
D:Day5.25 the example of how your breathing becomes unnatural when you  think about it, and contrast this with the increase in awareness of
D:Day5.26 is entering you, and it does not imply entry without exit. When you  think of breathing, you may think of inhaling as taking in air, and
D:Day5.26 not imply entry without exit. When you think of breathing, you may  think of inhaling as taking in air, and of air as something that is
D:Day5.26 that is not “of” you. But the air you breathe is “of” you. You may  think of the air you exhale as being more “of” you, but there is no
D:Day6.22 remove yourself from life! If this were required it would be done!  Think not that I cannot arrange the ideal environment for our
D:Day6.23  Think a moment about a new job or some other endeavor in which you
D:Day6.25 as well as conversationalists, is not an erroneous way to  think of our relationship. We are both friends and co-workers.
D:Day6.30 you find yourself. There is no time to wait while you learn, or  think you learn, the qualities that will allow this. This is the
D:Day6.31 no call to be discouraged. This is not delay, but what you might  think of as trial by fire. Be encouraged rather than discouraged that
D:Day8.3 This is not about acceptance of what you do not like. Do you really  think you are being called to accept “normal life?” Called to accept

T1:1.8 You are a  thinking being. This cannot be denied nor should it be. Thus a Course
T1:2.1 needed for you to disengage the ego-mind that produced the type of  thinking that needs to come to an end. This ending is but a beginning
T1:2.6 The so-called  thinking of the ego-mind was so tyrannical that its use throughout
T1:2.6 that it left you unable to respond purely to anything. The so-called  thinking of the ego-mind could be likened to chitchat, background
T1:2.12 is but relationship between Creator and Created. The new means of  thinking is referred to here as the “art” of thought in order to call
T1:3.2 is the same as seeing how different the art of thought is from the  thinking of the ego-mind! The art of thought is diametrically opposed
T1:3.2 of the ego-mind! The art of thought is diametrically opposed to the  thinking of the ego-mind.
T1:3.26 of these fears, bringing to them the art of thought rather than the  thinking of the ego-mind.
T1:4.2 this is but an indication that you are still in the habit of  thinking you learned under the instruction of the ego-mind. This
T1:4.3 thought has led you to see. Miracles are, in other words, a way of  thinking, the new way that we are going to learn together. They are
T1:4.12 than to be responsible. How can you be free to respond when your  thinking remains tied to responsibility?
T1:4.14 Creator in this way is to think of the Creator with the upside-down  thinking of the ego-mind. Is this not the kind of thinking that has
T1:4.14 the upside-down thinking of the ego-mind. Is this not the kind of  thinking that has caused you to blame God for what you have labeled
T1:4.19 think again. Be willing to apply the art of thought rather than the  thinking of the ego-mind. Interpretation but gives you opinions about

T1:8.6 How does this relate to your  thinking? You have been reborn as god-man, as God and man united. The
T2:1.9 to develop into abilities, are given a structure and form in your  thinking of them. A desire to paint, in your thoughts becomes a
T2:1.10  Thinking without form is a harbinger of unity. Form is a product of
T2:1.12 Thoughts joined in unity. Thoughts joined in unity can be likened to  thinking without thought. They can be likened to imagination. They
T2:1.13 painting. Thoughts joined in unity see beauty. You are used to  thinking that if you do not have a tangible goal, such as that of
T2:1.14 This is a first step in the change in  thinking that needs to occur. It is an elementary step and one easily
T2:1.14 easily accomplished with but a bit of willingness. This change in  thinking in regards to treasures you do recognize will pave the way
T2:3.6 then your idea of the Christ is still based on an old way of  thinking, as are your ideas of learning.
T2:4.2 you stand apart from it and affect it not. This is consistent to the  thinking that would tell you that you are at the mercy of fate. Fate
T2:4.3 and A Course of Love work hand-in-hand because the change of  thinking taught within A Course in Miracles was a change of thinking
T2:4.3 of thinking taught within A Course in Miracles was a change of  thinking about yourself. It attempted to dislodge the ego-mind that
T2:4.12 not with who you are. They do not recognize the difference between  thinking and knowing.
T2:4.19 While this adjustment of your  thinking may not seem to be the miracle that it truly is, as your

T2:6.2 govern your days and years and that you thus allow to govern your  thinking. If time is but a measure of learning, and if your learning
T2:6.2 now to think without the barriers of time you but place upon your  thinking, you will advance this process and more quickly bring about
T2:6.10 where you think you are, you can begin to see that this change in  thinking will release your heart, returning it to its natural realm.
T2:9.7 the same as feeling that one has a need. Needs are the domain of the  thinking being only. Thinking beings share needs because of the way
T2:9.7 one has a need. Needs are the domain of the thinking being only.  Thinking beings share needs because of the way in which they think.

T2:9.15 as valuable as the others mentioned here, this adjustment in your  thinking may seem difficult to accept. How does the identification of
T2:9.19 and a timesaving measure of great magnitude. As these old ways of  thinking leave you, you will be left as who you are in truth.
T2:10.2  Thinking that needs can be met only in certain ways is akin to
T2:10.4 of unity as you have so often thought of your brain, but rather than  thinking of it in the singular, think of it as a storehouse or giant
T2:11.15 or but a form of the insanity that is prevalent still, even in your  thinking. You do not realize that this source of conflict is the
T2:11.15 Does this not but reveal to you a fraction of the power of your  thinking and its ability to shape the world you see?
T2:11.17 it with new learning. While you have learned much here, you may be  thinking that your ego is still very much with you, and wondering, if
T2:12.1 Miracles are thoughts and I am the corrector of false  thinking. You have been made ready for this correction and your
T2:12.5 same thing. While you believe there is anything other than your own  thinking that is in need of correction you think falsely.
T2:13.4 I am the corrector of false  thinking because I lived among you as a thinking being. Think not

T3:9.5 and will want to return to add your own to those going on inside,  thinking that with the force of one more, maybe the walls will
T3:18.10 link observance and ideas. Ideas form in the mind. You are used to  thinking that what you observe forms outside of your mind. This is
T3:18.10 that what you observe forms outside of your mind. This is the  thinking of the ego-thought system. The thought system of the truth
T3:20.10 good or mentally healthy, to exercises in visualization or positive  thinking. I am calling you to live by the truth and to never deny it.
T3:21.24 and no followers are needed. This is quite obviously an old way of  thinking. While no one is called to evangelize, all are called
T4:1.6 this generation believe they are a chosen generation. Neither way of  thinking is wrong. All are chosen.
T4:1.25 before they allow themselves to directly experience the truth,  thinking still that the experience of the truth will exclude much
T4:2.10 consistent with the idea of unity. If you proceed into this new time  thinking that this new time will separate you from others, or cause
T4:2.19 future outcome rather than in terms of what already is. This type of  thinking will not serve the new or allow you full awareness of the
T4:2.23 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 Course of Love
T4:4.16 of form in order to be reborn as a true Self. This is an old way of  thinking. Have we not worked throughout this Course to return your
D:1.20 from the Source is different than what you do here. This is  thinking with the mindset of separation rather than the mindset of
D:1.23 This is akin to  thinking of a god who exists outside or apart from yourself. If you
D:4.14 of as a divinely inspired system of thought. In such a way of  thinking, one would take the internal thought pattern, enhance it
D:5.11 but to accept revelation. You will not arrive at the truth through  thinking about what everything means. This is the old way that led to
D:6.19 habits. Again we could go into countless examples of this type of  thinking, but the examples matter not except to make you see that
D:6.21 of ideas of placing blame does, is take it one step away from the  thinking of the “if this, then that” thought system we are leaving
D:8.2 it seems too impossible, too “good” to be true. You are too used to  thinking of yourself as a learning being to truly experience the
D:8.9 accepts the new, the art of thought will become your new means of  thinking. What has been learned will become an ability to think
D:9.3 to know who you are calls you to think about who you are and in that  thinking to come up with a definition of who you are, a truth of who
D:9.10 Just as the “Art of Thought” led to abilities beyond the  thinking of the ego-mind, the beliefs of the “Treatise on Unity” were
D:9.12 struggled with. You may think that all of your previous learning and  thinking merely resulted eventually in a new idea being birthed, but
D:10.4 Now you might be  thinking, here, that while these givens come from the realm of unity,
D:11.3 is so different from the way I think that they are incomparable. But  thinking is not an accurate description of what I do, or of what
D:12.1 In the terms in which you are used to  thinking, terms that have put the body at the center of your universe
D:12.7 as thoughts. Keep in mind that she thus has thoughts she is not  thinking.
D:12.9 this a simpler subject to discuss by making a distinction between  thinking and thought. This distinction, while it will not be
D:12.10 of your “thinking,” often even resulting in a conclusion to your  thinking, a summary of the finer points, as what might come to you in
D:12.11  Thinking is more descriptive of the ego mind; thoughts are more
D:12.11 to make the two main points of this discussion: The first is that  thinking, with or without the ego, is a pattern of the separated self
D:12.11 the ego, that is still with you. The second point is that although  thinking does not serve you, you do have, right now, and have always
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 describing it, the
D:12.16 reaction to this truth, or simple doubt that arose within your  thinking, but regardless of this fading of your certainty, you still
D:12.16 about yourself—is true. If another challenges you, or if your own  thinking challenges you, doubt is quick to arise simply because you
D:12.17 more aware than ever before that what I have said about your way of  thinking being insane is true. You think it is perfectly sane to go
D:14.6 of questions such as these is that they can circumvent the usual  thinking you would apply to these situations. They can circumvent the
D:15.16 You have been prepared for this by the realization that your  thinking mind will no longer be necessary as your access to unity, or
D:16.18 still sees in forms and symbols. This kind of image may leave you  thinking that you are “acting” as if you have changed, while even
D:17.15 It is because you have now turned to your heart, instead of to your  thinking, that you feel both fulfillment and desire. But my earlier
D:Day3.9 agitated, to go back and forth between the general and specific,  thinking of both your own lack in life and that of those whose lack
D:Day3.31 of you who would feel prepared to let it bring you joy would err in  thinking that it could. How many times has what you thought would
D:Day4.6 think of all the “givens” of unity as those things that require no  thinking.
D:Day4.7 Learning was not meant to be linked with  thinking. Again I’ll draw your attention to the learning of
D:Day4.7 to think in the terms you now associate almost exclusively with  thinking, the terms of having thoughts, or words, in your mind.
D:Day4.8 Even after the onset of language, children continue to learn without  thinking. Does this not sound odd, foreign to you? And yet this is
D:Day4.29 your breathing becomes when it becomes the focus of your thought.  Thinking about breathing imposes an unnatural constraint upon a
D:Day4.30  Thinking, in this time beyond learning, could be rightly seen as a
D:Day4.30 as a constraint you but try to impose on all that is natural. Your  thinking, since it is a product of learning, does nothing but attempt
D:Day4.30 of all that exists within you in the state of unity, is an end to  thinking as you know it.
D:Day4.31 terms, you might think of this as a disengagement from the details.  Thinking is about details. I am imparting to you the key to abundance
D:Day4.31 with the end of the time of learning. You, on the other hand, are  thinking, yearning, grasping for the details. You would like to know
D:Day4.37 This is a longing that carries with it the desire to go beyond  thinking, the desire to go beyond words, the desire to go beyond
D:Day4.51 before full acceptance of what is would be confusing. You who are  thinking that you have not moved through the stages to full
D:Day5.21 you seek. Imagine this wisdom not as being stopped by the layers of  thinking and feeling that we used the onion to illustrate, but as a
D:Day5.22 by layers of defenses. No longer will it meet the road-block of your  thinking, your effort, your attempts to figure out how to do it and
D:Day5.25 as well as you focus on your access to unity. Focus does not mean  thinking. Focus does not mean learning. Remember the example of how
D:Day6.14 desire not to have to focus on the details of daily life. You may be  thinking that the ease so often spoken of in our conversations would
D:Day6.25  Thinking of our relationship as that of colleagues as well as
D:Day8.7 Now you may have been  thinking—again, at least subconsciously—that your “real” Self has
D:Day8.29 Remove all  thinking that says that you can err in following your feelings. This
D:Day8.29 that says that you can err in following your feelings. This is the  thinking of the old thought system, not the new. This is thinking
D:Day8.29 This is the thinking of the old thought system, not the new. This is  thinking comprised of the time-delay of the time of learning—of a
D:Day10.29 And do you not, when  thinking of idolized spiritual leaders, see them as world leaders as
D:Day32.5 broader terms. You might think of God as you think of yourself. When  thinking of the ideas put forth here, you might think of God deciding
D:Day32.6 standing back, judging Himself on the goodness of what He created?  Thinking that He’d like to make adjustments here or there, perhaps,
D:Day32.6 this provide? Wouldn’t this suggest a situation similar to a parent  thinking he or she could know him- or herself through observation of

C:10.3 is wholeness. All things exist in wholeness, including the  thought system that you made to protect the illusion you hold so
C:10.3 system that you made to protect the illusion you hold so dear. Your  thought system is completely alien to the truth, but completely
C:10.3 cannot fail to learn, but neither can you learn of it in parts. The  thought system of truth is as wholly consistent as the thought system
C:10.3 in parts. The thought system of truth is as wholly consistent as the  thought system of illusion, and you cannot take what you will and

C:11.6 of the separated self and is based on separation. The other is the  thought system of creation and is based on union. Your faith in what
C:12.2 deceived to think that love may not be limited to what you have  thought it to be. You think it is typical of a spiritual text to tell
C:12.17 You have all seen the way a  thought that seems to arise out of nowhere can affect you. An idea,
C:16.25 through your life trying to comply with rules of God and man with  thought of some greater good in mind. If everyone did what he or she
C:17.16 your mind rather than the compassion of your heart is to only give  thought to forgiveness. This many of you will give, even to deciding
C:18.17 would be included in this Course of Love is that you dedicate all  thought to union. This now must be seen in two dimensions rather than
C:18.17 be seen in two dimensions rather than one. In addition to dedicating  thought to unity with the whole, you must dedicate yourself to
C:18.17 to unity with the whole, you must dedicate yourself to unifying  thought itself.
C:18.20 Unifying  thought is more than a matter of focus or single-mindedness, although
C:18.20 although these are both steps in the right direction. Unifying  thought is also a matter of integrating the thought or language of
C:18.20 direction. Unifying thought is also a matter of integrating the  thought or language of your heart with that which you more naturally

C:19.13 order to do this there is still one more layer to the unification of  thought, and this brings up another reason for our reliance on the

C:19.13 can be combined with thought in such a way as to actually transcend  thought as you know it. This transcendence is a function of
C:19.15 Philosophy applies  thought to mystery and that is why philosophy becomes such a muddle
C:19.16 To think without  thought or know without words are ideas quite foreign to you, and
C:19.16 even experiences beyond thoughts and words you will apply word and  thought to. Yet love has often brought you close to a “thought-less”

T1:1.8 leave your learning incomplete. Without this “Treatise on the Art of  Thought,” too many of you would become muddled in your feelings and

T1:2.8 you, and it does call for a change of thought so extensive that all  thought as you once knew it does need to cease.
T1:2.9 and again until the new way totally replaces the old and the art of  thought leaves behind forever the need for what the ego-mind once but
T1:2.12 The new means of thinking is referred to here as the “art” of  thought in order to call your wholehearted attention to the continual
T1:2.12 is but a dialogue to which you have not responded. The art of  thought will free you to respond.
T1:2.18 through your experience of it, an opportunity to apply the art of  thought.
T1:2.19 Thus, these are the basic rules of the art of  thought: First, to experience what is and to acknowledge what is,
T1:2.22 like unto the Creator may be used as a definition for the art of  thought.
T1:3.1 The first opportunities for the art of  thought to be applied relate to memory in terms of your experience
T1:3.2 experience of truth is the same as seeing how different the art of  thought is from the thinking of the ego-mind! The art of thought is
T1:3.2 the art of thought is from the thinking of the ego-mind! The art of  thought is diametrically opposed to the thinking of the ego-mind.
T1:3.4 of truth dispels illusion and thus the ego-mind. The art of  thought replaces the ego-mind with the wholehearted. The wholehearted
T1:3.9 not requested a bigger miracle. You will almost feel panic at the  thought of such a choice being put before you. If you will agree to
T1:3.14 now if your fear is mightier than your willingness. But hold this  thought within your mind. What is needed to convince you will be
T1:3.20 its accomplishment. Better not to mess with such things. Even the  thought of it leads you to ideas of magic and power that is not of
T1:3.26 Now we can address each of these fears, bringing to them the art of  thought rather than the thinking of the ego-mind.
T1:4.1 you into the state of mind that is miracle-readiness. The art of  thought is the expression of that state. The art of thought is the
T1:4.1 The art of thought is the expression of that state. The art of  thought is the miracle.
T1:4.3 a definition of miracles. Both are the same. Prayer and the art of  thought are the same. This should serve to make it clear that the
T1:4.3 once again far more broad and generalizable than your old habit of  thought has led you to see. Miracles are, in other words, a way of
T1:4.4 How can the rules of  thought we have identified serve to bring about the miracle that you
T1:4.6 The second rule of the art of  thought is to acknowledge relationship, the call for a response, and
T1:4.7 This is an enormous shift in your habit of  thought as you become the center of the universe.
T1:4.8 creation, put the “you” of the ego or the body at the center of its  thought system and from this central position developed all of its
T1:4.10 to respond for them rather than responding to them. You thus have  thought it is your responsibility to care for the world outside of
T1:4.18 The art of  thought is being taught here in order to prevent just such a
T1:4.19 You who have  thought that your interpretation of events and feelings has given
T1:4.19 to you to determine. This is not your responsibility. You who have  thought that your interpretation of situations and the feelings they
T1:4.19 defined who you are, think again. Be willing to apply the art of  thought rather than the thinking of the ego-mind. Interpretation but
T1:4.20 The joy you have  thought has come to you from an interpretation that is uniquely your
T1:4.20 the chance to leave you is for you to begin to practice the art of  thought and thus begin to learn the difference.
T1:4.21 already stated, the first opportunities for you to learn the art of  thought will be provided through what we have called the
T1:4.21 with these lessons so that you may apply to them the art of  thought rather than the thinking of the ego-mind. The art of thought
T1:4.21 art of thought rather than the thinking of the ego-mind. The art of  thought will reveal the truth to you. The thinking of the ego-mind
T1:4.23 Revelation is a proper description of the mode by which the art of  thought teaches and helps you learn. It is not through study, effort,
T1:4.26 all fear is doubt about your self. Now we must expand upon this  thought, for doubt about your Self is doubt about God. While God is
T1:5.2 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 the human experience,
T1:5.4 the all or the nothingness, the eternal or the void. While your  thought system here has been described often as insanity, this is the
T1:5.9 we have defined it many times within this Course, must exist in the  thought system that is real to you. The thought system of the
T1:5.9 Course, must exist in the thought system that is real to you. The  thought system of the ego-mind is what has been real to you and thus
T1:5.9 nothing else that will free who you are but freedom from the ego’s  thought system. That the ego’s thought system has kept you from this
T1:5.9 you are but freedom from the ego’s thought system. That the ego’s  thought system has kept you from this freedom is the seeming
T1:5.10 the only cause of your experience here. When released from the ego  thought system, the heart becomes the determiner of what you
T1:5.10 is the real you or center of your Self, being joined with the only  thought system that is real, the thought system of the truth. How
T1:5.10 Self, being joined with the only thought system that is real, the  thought system of the truth. How could a thought system based on
T1:5.10 system that is real, the thought system of the truth. How could a  thought system based on anything but the truth lead to anything but
T1:5.12 and finally convinced. You must experience the reality of the new  thought system or it will remain forever theoretical. You must let go
T1:5.12 You must let go of the foundation of fear on which the old  thought system was built in order to experience the new.
T1:5.13 The art of  thought invites the experience of the new thought system by being
T1:5.13 The art of thought invites the experience of the new  thought system by being willing to replace the old with the new.
T1:6.1 The  thought system of the ego-mind is a learned system and this is why it
T1:6.1 is a learned system and this is why it can be unlearned. The  thought system of the truth is always present as the truth is always
T1:6.1 unlearned. It will thus be revealed to you as soon as the learned  thought system ceases to block its realization.
T1:6.2 this revelation to take place? It will begin by learning the art of  thought as the act of prayer. We have spoken already of memory here,
T1:6.5 that can 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
T1:6.8 are revisited under the all-encompassing umbrella of a new way of  thought? The different personalities become one, the different paths
T1:8.17 all-encompassing, we will reflect a moment here on how the art of  thought brings all you have seen as parts of the self, such as male
T1:9.1 The art of  thought is not possible without a return to the virgin or unaltered
T1:9.1 a return to the virgin or unaltered self. The practice of the art of  thought is what will complete the return begun through the coursework
T1:9.8 and one to receive. You have long waited to receive what you have  thought could come only from some other. Your churches are but
T1:10.14 the condition of the wholehearted, the prerequisite to the art of  thought, the description of heaven, the abode of Christ. Peace has
T2:1.10 form is a harbinger of unity. Form is a product of the separation.  Thought “forms” are the product of the separation. Unity is not a
T2:1.11 You are a creator but a creator who creates with  thought unlike to any thoughts you have had before. Your thoughts of
T2:1.12 unity. Thoughts joined in unity can be likened to thinking without  thought. They can be likened to imagination. They can be likened to
T2:3.1 Everything you have ever wanted to be is. Everything you have ever  thought or imagined is and is reflected in the world you see. The
T2:3.7 Creation is a continuous and on-going expansion of the same  thought of love that brought life into existence. The seeds of
T2:3.8 Christ is the continuous and on-going expansion of the same  thought of love that brought life into existence. Christ is your
T2:4.12 about the past and all those things that at one time or another you  thought would bring you fulfillment. This is about recognizing who
T2:4.12 have led you. All these notions are concerned with who you have  thought yourself to be, not with who you are. They do not recognize
T2:4.15 You must be beginning to see that your  thought processes, the very thought processes that tell you
T2:4.15 You must be beginning to see that your thought processes, the very  thought processes that tell you hour-by-hour and minute-by-minute how
T2:4.15 that you are still in need of unlearning, of undoing old patterns of  thought. This is atonement and it is continuous and ongoing until it
T2:6.7 You may have regarded these exercises as silly or you may have  thought of the lessons of physics and felt as if you understood these
T2:6.9 by perceiving a new world. You are changing from who you have  thought yourself to be to who you are.
T2:7.19 relationships. Does this mean that you are required to express every  thought and feeling that comes your way? No, but this does mean that
T2:9.2 assist you in bypassing your ego mind. Some practices more commonly  thought of as tools might be meditation, exercises of the body such
T2:9.15 Because you have not  thought previously of needs as tools every bit as valuable as the
T2:10.4 You might think of unity as you have so often  thought of your brain, but rather than thinking of it in the
T2:10.4 a storehouse or giant brain in which all that has ever been known or  thought is contained. The technology that has created super-computers
T2:11.10 Realize that when you think that this total reversal of  thought concerning yourself and your world will be difficult you are
T2:12.7 The power of  thought and the power of prayer, once aligned, call constantly upon
T2:13.6 as we return to the premise put forth in “A Treatise on the Art of  Thought:” that of the elevation of form.
T3:1.6 self, as represented by your body, while adhering to the ego’s  thought system, became an ego-self or an unreal self. An unreal self
T3:1.7 The ego’s  thought system has been replaced by the thought system of unity and
T3:1.7 The ego’s thought system has been replaced by the  thought system of unity and you are left, perhaps, feeling unsure of
T3:1.13 with the ego once and finally vanquished, the patterns of the ego’s  thought system remain to be undone. This is atonement. We work now to
T3:2.4 same terms that made it necessary to thoroughly discuss the ego’s  thought system. What you believe about yourself is part of the
T3:2.11 impossible for you to imagine this holiness with the concepts of the  thought system you heretofore have relied upon. This thought system
T3:2.11 concepts of the thought system you heretofore have relied upon. This  thought system has allowed only the acceptance of a reality within
T3:3.7 the changed beliefs we have worked together to integrate into your  thought system, are only a first step, a step toward holy
T3:3.7 step, a step toward holy relationship. These new beliefs of your new  thought system must be wholehearted. They cannot be beliefs that
T3:6.4 self, there has always been just enough room within the ego’s  thought system to keep within you the idea of a self the ego is not.
T3:7.1 beliefs in “A Treatise on Unity,” to speaking here of ideas. God’s  thought of you is an idea of absolute truth. Your existence derives
T3:7.1 The ego’s existence derived from your idea of a separated self, a  thought, or idea, of absolute untruth. The ego’s thought system then
T3:7.1 a separated self, a thought, or idea, of absolute untruth. The ego’s  thought system then formed beliefs that supported the initial idea of
T3:7.2 now of ideas or thoughts. If you believe that God created you with a  thought or idea, then you can begin to see the power of thought. If
T3:7.2 you with a thought or idea, then you can begin to see the power of  thought. If you can believe that you created the ego with a thought
T3:7.2 power of thought. If you can believe that you created the ego with a  thought or an idea, you can see where the power of thought is your
T3:7.2 the ego with a thought or an idea, you can see where the power of  thought is your power as well as God’s.
T3:7.6 many doors. You have chosen many doors to the same house and but  thought them to offer different things, only to find that the house
T3:7.7 one found poetry and another music, one seized upon a single  thought and through its extrapolation founded one science or another.
T3:8.3 played upon these feelings, using them as building blocks for its  thought system. As long as you carry this bitterness within you, you
T3:8.7 within God’s creation. As was said in “A Treatise on the Art of  Thought,” the idea of love can replace the idea of suffering but it
T3:8.8 that even an army of angels could not bring about. While such a  thought remains inconceivable to you it will not come to be.
T3:9.3 within it and held together by the learned ideas of the ego  thought system. Now you must imagine yourself walking outside of the
T3:10.4 Taking away the idea of placing blame will change your  thought processes beyond your wildest imagining. You will be
T3:10.4 you no word or sentiment to replace it. I ask you simply to take the  thought of it from your mind as quickly as it enters.
T3:10.8 like all the rest, be forgotten. The process of forgetting these  thought patterns will be only slightly different from forgetting your
T3:10.10 your past uncertainty. Uncertainty, like all the rest of the ego’s  thought system, was learned. Your true Self has no cause for
T3:10.11 you as an echo from the past. It is a habit, a pattern of the old  thought system. All you must do is not listen to it. Its voice will
T3:10.12 but you will need to learn what will at first seem to you a foreign  thought system. This thought system recognizes no fear or judgment,
T3:10.12 learn what will at first seem to you a foreign thought system. This  thought system recognizes no fear or judgment, no uncertainty or
T3:10.12 no uncertainty or doubt, no contrast and no division. It is the  thought system of unity. It is your true thought system and will be
T3:10.12 and no division. It is the thought system of unity. It is your true  thought system and will be easily remembered once you begin to let it
T3:10.14 What we are doing now is much like translating the learned  thought system of the ego into the thought system of the Christ-Self
T3:10.14 much like translating the learned thought system of the ego into the  thought system of the Christ-Self that you but think you have
T3:10.14 dwell in the House of Truth, if you do not resist unlearning the ego  thought system, the thought system of your true Self will quite
T3:10.14 Truth, if you do not resist unlearning the ego thought system, the  thought system of your true Self will quite simply return to your
T3:10.14 will quite simply return to your memory. You will soon forget the  thought system of the ego-self even though, when encountering those
T3:10.14 the ego-self even though, when encountering those who still use that  thought system, you will be able to communicate with them. Yet the
T3:10.14 yourself continuously teaching the language, if you will, of the new  thought system, for you will have no desire to communicate with
T3:11.16 against righteousness. It comes to remind you, as you replace the  thought system of illusion with the thought system of the truth, that
T3:11.16 remind you, as you replace the thought system of illusion with the  thought system of the truth, that having remembered the truth of who
T3:11.16 wrong. This temptation will not long be with you for once the old  thought system is thoroughly translated to the new, such ideas as
T3:13.2 temptations of the human experience. In “A Treatise on the Art of  Thought,” we spoke of these temptations in regards to extremes of the
T3:13.4 lies ahead of you now is simply learning in accordance with the new  thought system of the truth; accepting the truth and leaving illusion
T3:13.4 the truth; accepting the truth and leaving illusion behind. The new  thought system is simple to learn. What is of love is truth. What is
T3:13.14 form and your Self as your physical self represents, in form, the  thought or image produced within the Self. Ideas, in the context in
T3:14.1 The death of the ego  thought system has made way for the birth of the thought system of
T3:14.1 The death of the ego thought system has made way for the birth of the  thought system of the truth. The thought system of the ego was based
T3:14.1 has made way for the birth of the thought system of the truth. The  thought system of the ego was based on fear. In this time of
T3:14.1 of the ego was based on fear. In this time of translation from one  thought system to the other, the most subtle and yet significant
T3:14.1 is the change from the foundation of fear, the basis of the ego  thought system, to a foundation of love, the basis of the thought
T3:14.1 of the ego thought system, to a foundation of love, the basis of the  thought system of truth. While the foundation of fear, like the ego,
T3:14.1 action, you will not experience the freedom of living from the new  thought system. The new thought system will still exist within your
T3:14.1 the freedom of living from the new thought system. The new  thought system will still exist within your mind and heart, as
T3:14.1 nothing can now take this memory from you, but to experience the new  thought system as thought alone will not bring about the changes you
T3:14.1 this memory from you, but to experience the new thought system as  thought alone will not bring about the changes you would so desire to
T3:14.2 Let me attempt to make the difference between having a new  thought system and living by a new thought system more clear. Because
T3:14.2 difference between having a new thought system and living by a new  thought system more clear. Because you now are translating the
T3:14.2 a new thought system more clear. Because you now are translating the  thought system of the ego into the thought system of the truth, you
T3:14.2 you now are translating the thought system of the ego into the  thought system of the truth, you will begin to believe in such things
T3:14.3 with you old patterns of behavior. Once the translation of the new  thought system for the old is complete, this will no longer happen.
T3:14.5 immeasurably in leaving behind patterns of behavior based on the old  thought system of fear. Despite the foundation of fear upon which
T3:14.5 system of fear. Despite the foundation of fear upon which your old  thought system was based, you still would not be other than who you
T3:14.8 making but simply the choice to live by the truth of the new  thought system. If you but let go the old, and with it the patterns
T3:15.11 this new beginning save for the finalizing of the translation of the  thought system of the ego to the thought system of the truth. As we
T3:15.11 of the translation of the thought system of the ego to the  thought system of the truth. As we have said before, it is impossible
T3:15.11 As we have said before, it is impossible to learn the new with the  thought system of the old. It is impossible to learn the truth
T3:15.11 that love, peace, and truth are interchangeable ideas within the new  thought system. Thus, truth, like love, is not something that you can
T3:15.14 the past. What will assist you most, as the translation of the old  thought system for the new continues, are the beliefs that you
T3:15.16 be represented in form. These beliefs can, with the help of the new  thought system, change the very nature of the self described by the
T3:15.18 The total replacement of illusion with the truth is what the new  thought system will accomplish. Obviously, this replacement must be
T3:16.3 which it is you plan. These have been the ways of creation in the  thought system of the ego, ways that have brought much advancement to
T3:16.8 mind and heart will aid the translation of this aspect of the ego  thought system to the thought system of the truth.
T3:16.8 aid the translation of this aspect of the ego thought system to the  thought system of the truth.
T3:16.12 this fear of loss, you would not find it difficult to live by the  thought system of the truth. This fear relates very strongly to your
T3:16.16 All of these temptations worked together in the  thought system of the ego and created patterns that caused them to
T3:16.17 of the truth and see the reverse take place. See how quickly the  thought system of the truth builds upon itself and forms a real and
T3:17.4 beginning you are now called to. It required the learning of a new  thought system, the thought system of the physical, a thought system
T3:17.4 now called to. It required the learning of a new thought system, the  thought system of the physical, a thought system that was not needed
T3:17.4 of a new thought system, the thought system of the physical, a  thought system that was not needed before there was physical form.
T3:17.4 other creation stories, but tell of a “mistake” in the learning of a  thought system of physicality, a mistake that became a building block
T3:17.8 God the Creator, has known the existence of the illusion and the  thought system of the ego-self and been able to communicate within
T3:18.9 way, you will join the mechanisms of your physical form to the new  thought system of the truth. Your body, as has been often said, is a
T3:18.9 you choose to have it serve you. It has always been led by your  thought system. If it is no longer instructed by the thought system
T3:18.9 led by your thought system. If it is no longer instructed by the  thought system of illusion, it is natural to realize that it will now
T3:18.9 it is natural to realize that it will now be instructed by the  thought system of the truth. Thus your eyes will learn to observe
T3:18.10 of your mind. This is the thinking of the ego-thought system. The  thought system of the truth realizes that the external world is but a
T3:19.1 occur within your physical form as it begins to be guided by the  thought system of the truth rather than the thought system of
T3:19.1 to be guided by the thought system of the truth rather than the  thought system of illusion. You will fear these changes less if you
T3:19.2 For ages man has  thought that spiritual joy diminishes physical joy. While there is no
T3:19.4 and retribution. These things have always had as their cause the  thought system of the ego or the bitterness of the heart. As cause
T3:19.4 in physical form without a corresponding cause birthed in the ego  thought system or the bitterness of the heart.
T3:19.9 There is no longer any time to waste on such illusions. The  thought system of the truth sees no value in suffering and so sees it
T3:19.9 truth sees no value in suffering and so sees it not in truth. The  thought system of the truth is a thought system that is not split by
T3:19.9 and so sees it not in truth. The thought system of the truth is a  thought system that is not split by varying goals and desires. It is
T3:19.9 system that is not split by varying goals and desires. It is a  thought system of unity. It is a thought system of one thought, one
T3:19.9 varying goals and desires. It is a thought system of unity. It is a  thought system of one thought, one goal. That goal is the original
T3:19.9 It is a thought system of unity. It is a thought system of one  thought, one goal. That goal is the original thought that began the
T3:19.9 a thought system of one thought, one goal. That goal is the original  thought that began the experience in physical form, the thought of
T3:19.9 the original thought that began the experience in physical form, the  thought of expressing the Self in observable form.
T3:19.10 to which the body merely responded. The body’s response to the new  thought system will be different in many ways, none of which will
T3:19.11 While others still remain tied to the old  thought system, human behavior will still reflect harmful actions
T3:19.12 These lessons could not be taught while blame remained within your  thought system. No victim is to blame for the violence done to them.
T3:20.1 seemed to become a master that made of you a slave. Now time must be  thought of in a new way, a way that has to do with effectiveness.
T3:20.1 a false cause and so no effects that exist in truth. Now, your every  thought and action will have effect, and the choices that lie before
T3:20.4 In “A Treatise on the Art of  Thought,” you were asked to request a miracle as a learning device.
T3:20.10 Your new  thought system is not tied to beliefs of an “if this, then that”
T3:21.15 feel you have chosen to be within that world. Whether you have given  thought to the interconnection of these ideas you hold about yourself
T3:21.20 personal self will be useful as that certainty is translated to the  thought system of the truth and aids you in becoming certain of your
T3:22.12 what is and what will be. You may have, upon reading those words,  thought that this creative tension would not necessarily be a good
T3:22.15 might not. Realize that this game of chance is a pattern of the old  thought system that needs to be replaced by certainty. If you have
T3:22.15 game and have fun doing it. Do not bring this attitude into your new  thought system or your new life. If you are tired of the old, be
T4:1.23 You may have seen the acts that this yearning has driven them to and  thought, incorrectly, that the new time that is here is the end of
T4:1.23 time that is here is the end of the days of innocence. You may have  thought it advantageous to have once been so clearly able to see the
T4:2.13 your Self and in your uncertainty, still subject to the patterns of  thought of the old. Many of these patterns do not concern me for they
T4:2.31 Have you expected to see in the same way but more lovingly? Have you  thought you might begin to recognize those who, like you, are joined
T4:2.31 Have you included other senses in your idea of sight? Have you  thought your instincts will be sharpened and that you will know with
T4:5.13 you have believed in any kind of afterlife at all, you have perhaps  thought of the afterlife as having two sides. Some have thought of
T4:5.13 have perhaps thought of the afterlife as having two sides. Some have  thought of this as heaven and hell. Others as all or nothing. Many of
T4:5.13 this as heaven and hell. Others as all or nothing. Many of you have  thought of it as a time of judgment. But I tell you truly; it is no
T4:6.8 accept in this fullness of time. In this time of unity, dedicate all  thought to unity. Accept no separation. Accept all choices. Thus are
T4:7.6 The mind, once released from the ego’s  thought system, has but to relearn the thought system of the truth.
T4:7.6 once released from the ego’s thought system, has but to relearn the  thought system of the truth. Your mind, heart, and body have joined
T4:8.7 was! If you can imagine for a moment yourself as a being whose every  thought became manifest, as perhaps you can envision from remembering
T4:12.10 The only way to do so is to, for a short while, be vigilant of your  thought patterns so that you eradicate the idea of learning in
T4:12.20 they are replaced by a new pattern. That self-doubt arises in your  thought patterns will not mean that you have cause for self-doubt.
T4:12.23 words, you, as a being of singular consciousness, could learn the  thought patterns of a singular consciousness because it was a finite
T4:12.23 could think of this as something which, were it integrated into the  thought processes of the singular brain, would cause brain damage,
T4:12.27 the pattern of your thoughts, even after the ego came to rule your  thought system. Without this pattern, the ego could have succeeded in
D:1.12 This  thought makes you worry about the identity of the one you have called
D:1.21 unity, a learning that has been different from all learning you but  thought you accomplished as a separated self. You have achieved an
D:2.11 you desired it to be you call it a failure. You admit that what you  thought would work did not work.
D:2.12 trial and error. No sure results are counted on. When a pattern of  thought or behavior has been found to work in more cases than not, it
D:3.8 to you because you have recently learned them and through the art of  thought begun to integrate them into the elevated Self of form. These
D:4.7 For most, the prison system is a very successful deterrent. The  thought of time in prison fills the mind with fear. And yet those who
D:4.9 Your prison was created by the separated thoughts of the separated  thought “system.” Systems, as you may recall, are the result of your
D:4.14 Systems of  thought are both divinely inspired and products of the separated
D:4.14 the separated self. The idea of giving and receiving as one might be  thought of as a divinely inspired system of thought. In such a way of
D:4.14 as one might be thought of as a divinely inspired system of  thought. In such a way of thinking, one would take the internal
D:4.14 of thought. In such a way of thinking, one would take the internal  thought pattern, enhance it with the external pattern, and by seeing
D:4.14 cooperation of all, understand and live according to the system of  thought of giving and receiving being one. Systems of thought are
D:4.14 the system of thought of giving and receiving being one. Systems of  thought are thus the foundation upon which how you live arises. The
D:4.14 foundation upon which how you live arises. The truth is a system of  thought. It exists in wholeness and has always been available.
D:4.15 Systems of  thought that arose from the separated self are those you have
D:4.15 are those you have accepted as the truth. Some of these systems of  thought were part of the divine pattern. Contrast is one such system.
D:4.15 for your learning. It was upon the foundation of this and other  thought systems that your perception developed. Through contrast, you
D:4.16 Other systems of  thought were not part of the divine pattern. The ego is one such
D:4.16 and we have heretofore referred to both the ego and to the ego’s  thought system, but the ego is quite rightly seen as a system in and
D:4.16 the ego is quite rightly seen as a system in and of itself. It is  thought externalized and given an identity you but falsely believed
D:4.16 you but falsely believed to be yourself. From this one externalized  thought pattern came most of your false ideas, ideas that made it
D:4.16 ideas, ideas that made it difficult even for the divinely inspired  thought systems to provide the learning they were designed to impart.
D:4.17 patterns, or systems, were also built from the systems of  thought that have been your foundation, the basic building blocks of
D:4.24 rather than learning. Turn to this as the new pattern and to the  thought system of giving and receiving as one. Let the authority of
D:5.7 the body and its acts as representative of truth. You have  thought the things you do represent your drives, but they simply
D:5.10 now as you are called to see what you might previously have  thought of as inconsequential in the light of truth. Everything given
D:5.20 with the universe? As you can see, you are now approaching another  thought reversal. Fear not that your confusion will last, for with
D:5.20 reversal. Fear not that your confusion will last, for with this  thought reversal will come your final release.
D:6.2 that will be used less and less as the time of learning passes. The  thought reversal of which we recently spoke is why I bring this up.
D:6.5 is thus with new ideas about the body that we will begin the final  thought reversal that will allow you to live in form as who you truly
D:6.17 and receiving are one, you will begin to see the enormity of the  thought reversal that now awaits your acceptance. As I said earlier,
D:6.21 take it one step away from the thinking of the “if this, then that”  thought system we are leaving behind. As a non-learning being you are
D:6.27 is capable of providing. We have redefined the miracle as the art of  thought, or the continual act of prayer that sustains the unity of
D:8.9 these dialogues. As the mind opens and accepts the new, the art of  thought will become your new means of thinking. What has been learned
D:9.2 The final  thought reversal that was spoken of in the section on acceptance is
D:9.3 led to see that this desire has always been with you, and you have  thought it is the very desire that, once defined and acted upon,
D:9.4 But you have  thought about this desire to know who you are in one way or another
D:9.4 learning, the pattern, even of your wholeheartedness, remains one of  thought. This pattern is what the new patterns of acceptance and
D:9.5  Thought is a practice and a pattern of the separated and thus
D:9.5 God, and when ideas were spoken of as if they were synonymous with  thought, this was an accurate and truthful way of expressing what was
D:9.8 with the teaching of “A Treatise on the Art of Thought”. If  thought is what imprisons you, why would the “art of thought” be
D:9.10 to create the new, through the means of old, including the means of  thought.
D:11.1 We haven’t, here, been talking of the art of  thought, but of the use of thought. You use thought to solve
D:11.1 haven’t, here, been talking of the art of thought, but of the use of  thought. You use thought to solve problems, apply thought to
D:11.1 talking of the art of thought, but of the use of thought. You use  thought to solve problems, apply thought to intellectual puzzles,
D:11.1 but of the use of thought. You use thought to solve problems, apply  thought to intellectual puzzles, focus your thoughts in order to make
D:11.2 in this way, dear brothers and sisters, is insane. To think of the  thought or idea of God by which you were created as the same type of
D:11.2 thought or idea of God by which you were created as the same type of  thought I have just described would be insane. Are you willing any
D:11.4 is of unity. True giving and receiving is not of the separated  thought of the separated thought system of the separated self. Your
D:11.4 and receiving is not of the separated thought of the separated  thought system of the separated self. Your acceptance of the concepts
D:11.4 on the Art of Thought” was but a beginning to the total rejection of  thought as you know it that must now occur in order to go on to
D:12.1 of your universe and yourself, there is no mechanism through which  thought can enter your mind. You believe thoughts exist in your mind
D:12.1 that a cessation of brain activity is equivalent to the end of  thought, you accept this as proof that your thoughts originate from
D:12.3 They are, quite simply, not the separated thoughts of the separated  thought system.
D:12.4 This work is called a dialogue. A dialogue is most often  thought of as a discourse between two or more people and as such is
D:12.9 from unity are not the same as the thoughts that arise from the  thought system of the separated self. We might make this a simpler
D:12.9 subject to discuss by making a distinction between thinking and  thought. This distinction, while it will not be consistent with your
D:12.13 assist you in leaving patterns of thinking behind is the idea that  thought as we are describing it, the thought that is not really
D:12.13 behind is the idea that thought as we are describing it, the  thought that is not really thought but the way of coming to know of
D:12.13 that thought as we are describing it, the thought that is not really  thought but the way of coming to know of the Self joined in unity,
D:14.1 of unity. Discovery is also consistent with the way most of you have  thought of it throughout your lifetime. It is, in other words,
D:14.13 it will become your identity.” That treasure is the new way of  thought put forth in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought”, the thought
D:14.13 way of thought put forth in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought”, the  thought that is the miracle, or miracle-readiness, the thought that
D:14.13 Thought”, the thought that is the miracle, or miracle-readiness, the  thought that comes of unity and that extends and expresses itself
D:15.17 Maintenance is  thought of most often as keeping what you have, and as keeping what
D:15.17 have, and as keeping what you have in good repair. It is not often  thought of as a lasting measure, which is the primary difference
D:16.5 know, the ability to be, the ability to create. Through the art of  thought, these abilities become who we are. God and Creation are
D:16.12 and it should not be seen as a cause for disappointment. Perhaps you  thought you were beyond this point of becoming. And yet, as you have
D:16.12 you have felt as if you still have a long way to go. You have often  thought that even though you may be done with learning, you don’t
D:16.17 is but a photograph that remains, a copy of what you once might have  thought of as your “original” self. It is but an impression, as in
D:17.13 as well as your desire, has moved beyond the pattern of  thought.
D:Day1.6 Now that you have moved beyond the  thought system of the ego self, you look back on it and realize why
D:Day1.6 ego was your guide. You were required to make a choice between the  thought system of the ego and the thought system of unity. This

D:Day3.31 joy would err in thinking that it could. How many times has what you  thought would provide you with reason for joy failed to do so once
D:Day4.5 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 and within you.
D:Day4.29 unnatural your breathing becomes when it becomes the focus of your  thought. Thinking about breathing imposes an unnatural constraint
D:Day4.51 fear, for fear is the cause of the state of learning. You may have  thought separation was the cause, but separation into form, had it

D:Day9.7 of expression, you believe you have allowed yourself freedom of  thought. You believe you have allowed yourself freedom of feeling.
D:Day10.10 This type of intuition seems to come more as  thought than as feeling, but even so, it is your feelings about such

D:Day10.11 most is rational thought, and intuition is different than rational  thought, as are feelings of all kinds. You think of feelings either

D:Day10.28 a particular person you fondly remember from life and how you have  thought of him or her since death. Do you not occasionally think that
D:Day13.1 Once the One Self became form and knew Its Self, it knew separate  thought. The separate thoughts of the one self, rather than the form

D:Day32.5 such a way, it is somewhat easier to relate to God than when God is  thought of in broader terms. You might think of God as you think of

D:6.2 that will be used less and less as the time of learning passes. The  thought reversal of which we recently spoke is why I bring this up.
D:6.5 is thus with new ideas about the body that we will begin the final  thought reversal that will allow you to live in form as who you truly

thought system (150)

C:2.17 Your mind rebels because it is the stronghold of the ego. Your  thought system is what has made the world you see, the ego its
C:6.8 truth and illusion. When you chose to deny relationship, you chose a  thought system based on the opposite of your reality. Thus each
C:7.5 This one thought constitutes a  thought system in and of itself, for it is the primary thought by
C:8.24 completed each night. Each day is your creation held together by the  thought system that gave it birth. To observe this is to see its
C:8.25 Everything is held together by the  thought system that gave birth to it. There are but two thought

C:8.25 are but two thought systems: the thought system of God, and the  thought system of the ego or the separated self. The thought system
C:8.25 of God, and the thought system of the ego or the separated self. The  thought system of the separated self sees everything in separation.
C:8.25 system of the separated self sees everything in separation. The  thought system of God sees everything in unity. God’s thought system
C:8.25 The thought system of God sees everything in unity. God’s  thought system is one of continuous creation, rebirth and renewal.

C:31.25 to keep truth a secret, one of the most ridiculous ideas of the ego  thought system.
T1:4.8 creation, put the “you” of the ego or the body at the center of its  thought system and from this central position developed all of its
T1:5.4 the all or the nothingness, the eternal or the void. While your  thought system here has been described often as insanity, this is the
T1:5.9 we have defined it many times within this Course, must exist in the  thought system that is real to you. The thought system of the
T1:5.9 Course, must exist in the thought system that is real to you. The  thought system of the ego-mind is what has been real to you and thus
T1:5.9 nothing else that will free who you are but freedom from the ego’s  thought system. That the ego’s thought system has kept you from this
T1:5.9 you are but freedom from the ego’s thought system. That the ego’s  thought system has kept you from this freedom is the seeming
T1:5.10 the only cause of your experience here. When released from the ego  thought system, the heart becomes the determiner of what you
T1:5.10 is the real you or center of your Self, being joined with the only  thought system that is real, the thought system of the truth. How
T1:5.10 Self, being joined with the only thought system that is real, the  thought system of the truth. How could a thought system based on
T1:5.10 system that is real, the thought system of the truth. How could a  thought system based on anything but the truth lead to anything but
T1:5.12 and finally convinced. You must experience the reality of the new  thought system or it will remain forever theoretical. You must let go
T1:5.12 You must let go of the foundation of fear on which the old  thought system was built in order to experience the new.
T1:5.13 The art of thought invites the experience of the new  thought system by being willing to replace the old with the new.
T1:6.1 The  thought system of the ego-mind is a learned system and this is why it
T1:6.1 is a learned system and this is why it can be unlearned. The  thought system of the truth is always present as the truth is always
T1:6.1 unlearned. It will thus be revealed to you as soon as the learned  thought system ceases to block its realization.
T3:1.6 self, as represented by your body, while adhering to the ego’s  thought system, became an ego-self or an unreal self. An unreal self
T3:1.7 The ego’s  thought system has been replaced by the thought system of unity and
T3:1.7 The ego’s thought system has been replaced by the  thought system of unity and you are left, perhaps, feeling unsure of
T3:1.13 with the ego once and finally vanquished, the patterns of the ego’s  thought system remain to be undone. This is atonement. We work now to
T3:2.4 same terms that made it necessary to thoroughly discuss the ego’s  thought system. What you believe about yourself is part of the
T3:2.11 impossible for you to imagine this holiness with the concepts of the  thought system you heretofore have relied upon. This thought system
T3:2.11 concepts of the thought system you heretofore have relied upon. This  thought system has allowed only the acceptance of a reality within
T3:3.7 the changed beliefs we have worked together to integrate into your  thought system, are only a first step, a step toward holy
T3:3.7 step, a step toward holy relationship. These new beliefs of your new  thought system must be wholehearted. They cannot be beliefs that
T3:6.4 self, there has always been just enough room within the ego’s  thought system to keep within you the idea of a self the ego is not.
T3:7.1 a separated self, a thought, or idea, of absolute untruth. The ego’s  thought system then formed beliefs that supported the initial idea of
T3:8.3 played upon these feelings, using them as building blocks for its  thought system. As long as you carry this bitterness within you, you
T3:9.3 within it and held together by the learned ideas of the ego  thought system. Now you must imagine yourself walking outside of the
T3:10.10 your past uncertainty. Uncertainty, like all the rest of the ego’s  thought system, was learned. Your true Self has no cause for
T3:10.11 you as an echo from the past. It is a habit, a pattern of the old  thought system. All you must do is not listen to it. Its voice will
T3:10.12 but you will need to learn what will at first seem to you a foreign  thought system. This thought system recognizes no fear or judgment,
T3:10.12 learn what will at first seem to you a foreign thought system. This  thought system recognizes no fear or judgment, no uncertainty or
T3:10.12 no uncertainty or doubt, no contrast and no division. It is the  thought system of unity. It is your true thought system and will be
T3:10.12 and no division. It is the thought system of unity. It is your true  thought system and will be easily remembered once you begin to let it
T3:10.14 What we are doing now is much like translating the learned  thought system of the ego into the thought system of the Christ-Self
T3:10.14 much like translating the learned thought system of the ego into the  thought system of the Christ-Self that you but think you have
T3:10.14 dwell in the House of Truth, if you do not resist unlearning the ego  thought system, the thought system of your true Self will quite
T3:10.14 Truth, if you do not resist unlearning the ego thought system, the  thought system of your true Self will quite simply return to your
T3:10.14 will quite simply return to your memory. You will soon forget the  thought system of the ego-self even though, when encountering those
T3:10.14 the ego-self even though, when encountering those who still use that  thought system, you will be able to communicate with them. Yet the
T3:10.14 yourself continuously teaching the language, if you will, of the new  thought system, for you will have no desire to communicate with
T3:11.16 against righteousness. It comes to remind you, as you replace the  thought system of illusion with the thought system of the truth, that
T3:11.16 remind you, as you replace the thought system of illusion with the  thought system of the truth, that having remembered the truth of who
T3:11.16 wrong. This temptation will not long be with you for once the old  thought system is thoroughly translated to the new, such ideas as
T3:13.4 lies ahead of you now is simply learning in accordance with the new  thought system of the truth; accepting the truth and leaving illusion
T3:13.4 the truth; accepting the truth and leaving illusion behind. The new  thought system is simple to learn. What is of love is truth. What is
T3:14.1 The death of the ego  thought system has made way for the birth of the thought system of
T3:14.1 The death of the ego thought system has made way for the birth of the  thought system of the truth. The thought system of the ego was based
T3:14.1 has made way for the birth of the thought system of the truth. The  thought system of the ego was based on fear. In this time of
T3:14.1 of the ego was based on fear. In this time of translation from one  thought system to the other, the most subtle and yet significant
T3:14.1 is the change from the foundation of fear, the basis of the ego  thought system, to a foundation of love, the basis of the thought
T3:14.1 of the ego thought system, to a foundation of love, the basis of the  thought system of truth. While the foundation of fear, like the ego,
T3:14.1 action, you will not experience the freedom of living from the new  thought system. The new thought system will still exist within your
T3:14.1 the freedom of living from the new thought system. The new  thought system will still exist within your mind and heart, as
T3:14.1 nothing can now take this memory from you, but to experience the new  thought system as thought alone will not bring about the changes you
T3:14.2 Let me attempt to make the difference between having a new  thought system and living by a new thought system more clear. Because
T3:14.2 difference between having a new thought system and living by a new  thought system more clear. Because you now are translating the
T3:14.2 a new thought system more clear. Because you now are translating the  thought system of the ego into the thought system of the truth, you
T3:14.2 you now are translating the thought system of the ego into the  thought system of the truth, you will begin to believe in such things
T3:14.3 with you old patterns of behavior. Once the translation of the new  thought system for the old is complete, this will no longer happen.
T3:14.5 immeasurably in leaving behind patterns of behavior based on the old  thought system of fear. Despite the foundation of fear upon which
T3:14.5 system of fear. Despite the foundation of fear upon which your old  thought system was based, you still would not be other than who you
T3:14.8 making but simply the choice to live by the truth of the new  thought system. If you but let go the old, and with it the patterns
T3:15.11 this new beginning save for the finalizing of the translation of the  thought system of the ego to the thought system of the truth. As we
T3:15.11 of the translation of the thought system of the ego to the  thought system of the truth. As we have said before, it is impossible
T3:15.11 As we have said before, it is impossible to learn the new with the  thought system of the old. It is impossible to learn the truth
T3:15.11 that love, peace, and truth are interchangeable ideas within the new  thought system. Thus, truth, like love, is not something that you can
T3:15.14 the past. What will assist you most, as the translation of the old  thought system for the new continues, are the beliefs that you
T3:15.16 be represented in form. These beliefs can, with the help of the new  thought system, change the very nature of the self described by the
T3:15.18 The total replacement of illusion with the truth is what the new  thought system will accomplish. Obviously, this replacement must be
T3:16.3 which it is you plan. These have been the ways of creation in the  thought system of the ego, ways that have brought much advancement to
T3:16.8 mind and heart will aid the translation of this aspect of the ego  thought system to the thought system of the truth.
T3:16.8 aid the translation of this aspect of the ego thought system to the  thought system of the truth.
T3:16.12 this fear of loss, you would not find it difficult to live by the  thought system of the truth. This fear relates very strongly to your
T3:16.16 All of these temptations worked together in the  thought system of the ego and created patterns that caused them to
T3:16.17 of the truth and see the reverse take place. See how quickly the  thought system of the truth builds upon itself and forms a real and
T3:17.4 beginning you are now called to. It required the learning of a new  thought system, the thought system of the physical, a thought system
T3:17.4 now called to. It required the learning of a new thought system, the  thought system of the physical, a thought system that was not needed
T3:17.4 of a new thought system, the thought system of the physical, a  thought system that was not needed before there was physical form.
T3:17.4 other creation stories, but tell of a “mistake” in the learning of a  thought system of physicality, a mistake that became a building block
T3:17.8 God the Creator, has known the existence of the illusion and the  thought system of the ego-self and been able to communicate within
T3:18.9 way, you will join the mechanisms of your physical form to the new  thought system of the truth. Your body, as has been often said, is a
T3:18.9 you choose to have it serve you. It has always been led by your  thought system. If it is no longer instructed by the thought system
T3:18.9 led by your thought system. If it is no longer instructed by the  thought system of illusion, it is natural to realize that it will now
T3:18.9 it is natural to realize that it will now be instructed by the  thought system of the truth. Thus your eyes will learn to observe
T3:18.10 of your mind. This is the thinking of the ego-thought system. The  thought system of the truth realizes that the external world is but a
T3:19.1 occur within your physical form as it begins to be guided by the  thought system of the truth rather than the thought system of
T3:19.1 to be guided by the thought system of the truth rather than the  thought system of illusion. You will fear these changes less if you
T3:19.4 and retribution. These things have always had as their cause the  thought system of the ego or the bitterness of the heart. As cause
T3:19.4 in physical form without a corresponding cause birthed in the ego  thought system or the bitterness of the heart.
T3:19.9 There is no longer any time to waste on such illusions. The  thought system of the truth sees no value in suffering and so sees it
T3:19.9 truth sees no value in suffering and so sees it not in truth. The  thought system of the truth is a thought system that is not split by
T3:19.9 and so sees it not in truth. The thought system of the truth is a  thought system that is not split by varying goals and desires. It is
T3:19.9 system that is not split by varying goals and desires. It is a  thought system of unity. It is a thought system of one thought, one
T3:19.9 varying goals and desires. It is a thought system of unity. It is a  thought system of one thought, one goal. That goal is the original
T3:19.10 to which the body merely responded. The body’s response to the new  thought system will be different in many ways, none of which will
T3:19.11 While others still remain tied to the old  thought system, human behavior will still reflect harmful actions
T3:19.12 These lessons could not be taught while blame remained within your  thought system. No victim is to blame for the violence done to them.
T3:20.10 Your new  thought system is not tied to beliefs of an “if this, then that”
T3:21.20 personal self will be useful as that certainty is translated to the  thought system of the truth and aids you in becoming certain of your
T3:22.15 might not. Realize that this game of chance is a pattern of the old  thought system that needs to be replaced by certainty. If you have
T3:22.15 game and have fun doing it. Do not bring this attitude into your new  thought system or your new life. If you are tired of the old, be
T4:7.6 The mind, once released from the ego’s  thought system, has but to relearn the thought system of the truth.
T4:7.6 once released from the ego’s thought system, has but to relearn the  thought system of the truth. Your mind, heart, and body have joined
T4:12.27 the pattern of your thoughts, even after the ego came to rule your  thought system. Without this pattern, the ego could have succeeded in
D:4.16 and we have heretofore referred to both the ego and to the ego’s  thought system, but the ego is quite rightly seen as a system in and
D:4.24 rather than learning. Turn to this as the new pattern and to the  thought system of giving and receiving as one. Let the authority of
D:6.21 take it one step away from the thinking of the “if this, then that”  thought system we are leaving behind. As a non-learning being you are
D:11.4 and receiving is not of the separated thought of the separated  thought system of the separated self. Your acceptance of the concepts
D:12.3 They are, quite simply, not the separated thoughts of the separated  thought system.
D:12.9 from unity are not the same as the thoughts that arise from the  thought system of the separated self. We might make this a simpler
D:Day1.6 Now that you have moved beyond the  thought system of the ego self, you look back on it and realize why

C:31.2 is not so unacceptable to you as the idea of sharing one mind. Your  thoughts, you feel, are your own, private and sacrosanct. These

C:31.2 and regarded thoughts are what A Course in Miracles calls body  thoughts. Distinctions are made in many religions and philosophies
C:31.2 by the body—from thought of a higher order, or spiritual thought.  Thoughts related to your personal self and the “laws” of the body,
C:31.2 and the “laws” of the body, such as those of survival, are not the  thoughts of the true Self. This is the clarification that needs to be
C:31.11 the upside-down perception that causes you to protect your private  thoughts and see them as the seat of yourself calls for the exact
C:31.11 true source of conflict. And, yet again, your perception of your  thoughts as yourself is the closest answer to the truth that you were
C:31.11 come up with. There is a part of you that knows that you have higher  thoughts, and knows that these higher thoughts are your Self. Rather
C:31.11 knows that you have higher thoughts, and knows that these higher  thoughts are your Self. Rather than discriminating between higher and
C:31.11 are your Self. Rather than discriminating between higher and lower  thoughts, you have aggrandized all your thoughts and given them an
C:31.11 between higher and lower thoughts, you have aggrandized all your  thoughts and given them an identity we have called the ego. Without

C:31.15 You neither want to share your most negative nor your most positive  thoughts about yourself. These are your great secrets, the secrets

T1:2.7 These rewards have further emphasized the importance of such focused  thoughts and thus further entrenched the ego-mind. To think that you
T1:2.10 The  thoughts of your ego-mind were ruled by the nature of the body. To
T1:2.10 ruled by the nature of the body. To exist as creatures whose only  thoughts are of survival of the body is to exist in a lower order.
T1:3.5 And yet you dare not try to live without it. Why? Because of the  thoughts of the ego-mind. The ego-mind is concerned only with its own
T1:3.8 change your mind about who you are and thus about the nature of your  thoughts.
T1:3.21 These  thoughts border on the sacrilegious. Miracles are the realm of Jesus
T1:3.23 would be to have ideas of grandeur not meant for you. Here your  thoughts might stray to the performing of many miracles. What a media
T1:3.24 selfish. You might be proved to have no faith. You might succumb to  thoughts of grandeur.
T1:4.2 You have not been asked to request a specific miracle. Although your  thoughts have naturally gone to consideration of the specific, this
T1:4.2 ego-mind. This Treatise must change that habit in order for all your  thoughts to become the miracles that express the truth of who you
T1:4.9 Your responsibilities shift completely under the laws of God. Your  thoughts are released from their concentration on what exists outside
T1:4.10 for and this lesson will become more clear. While your first  thoughts will automatically go to a lengthy list of those concerns

T2:1.13 Ego desires cause one to think of a grand piano.  Thoughts joined in unity hear music. Ego desires cause one to think
T2:1.13 Ego desires cause one to think of an elaborately framed painting.  Thoughts joined in unity see beauty. You are used to thinking that if

T2:4.8 idea of calling with two sets of feelings and thoughts. One set of  thoughts and feelings contain all that one might attribute to the
T2:4.8 of a gift of high value, or in other words, a treasure. One set of  thoughts and feelings contain all that one might attribute to the
T2:4.8 onset of yet another responsibility, another obligation. One set of  thoughts recognizes that something has been given. The other set
T2:4.9 While two sets of  thoughts and feelings exist, the only way to come to peace with them
T2:4.9 the willingness to move through the conflict of two opposing sets of  thoughts and feelings to the place of unity.
T2:4.10 with regard to calling is recognizing the dualistic nature of your  thoughts and feelings. A second step is willingness to move past both
T2:7.17 How often have you hidden  thoughts and feelings because you question whether they are
T2:7.17 and feelings because you question whether they are legitimate  thoughts and feelings? For some of you this answer has changed
T2:7.17 you, you have become less, rather than more forthcoming about your  thoughts and feelings since taking this Course. You have done so out
T2:7.17 have done so out of a desire to be truthful, a desire to not express  thoughts and feelings unworthy of your real Self. You may have
T2:7.17 unworthy of your real Self. You may have increasingly denied  thoughts and feelings you would judge as negative or bad. Or you may
T2:7.19 that comes your way? No, but this does mean that you bring the  thoughts and feelings that arise to the place within your heart that
T2:7.19 to discriminate, to separate the false from the true, for your ego  thoughts cannot long abide in the holy place of your heart. Then,
T2:12.1 Miracles are  thoughts and I am the corrector of false thinking. You have been made
T3:3.9 of this Course into practice. If not quite this drastic, your  thoughts might tell you that if you were in another job, devoid of
T3:3.9 yourself unsuitable for further learning. Whether you think such  thoughts consciously or not, there is a part of you that still

T3:8.3 of illusion for your feelings are as real to you as have been the  thoughts of your ego-mind. While anything other than the truth
T3:10.5 consciously choosing not to place blame will short-circuit the many  thoughts that you would attach to this idea, thoughts that have

T3:10.9 The first step in being able to forget such  thoughts is in recognizing them as separate and distinct from the
T3:10.9 thoughts is in recognizing them as separate and distinct from the  thoughts of your right mind or Christ-mind. This will be easy because
T3:10.9 of your right mind or Christ-mind. This will be easy because the  thoughts of the ego-mind were always harsh with you or with others.
T3:10.9 were always harsh with you or with others. The Christ-mind and the  thoughts that come from the voice of the Christ-mind will be gentle.
T3:10.9 that come from the voice of the Christ-mind will be gentle. The  thoughts of the ego-mind will come as disguises to certainty. Given

T3:13.14 Ideas, in the context in which we are speaking of them here, are  thoughts or images originating from the Self and being represented by
T3:20.1 and the choices that lie before you will be choices of where your  thoughts and actions will have the greatest effect.
T3:20.3 Again, do not let your  thoughts stray to benefiting and affecting others. In unity, all
T3:21.12 as part of what makes you certain of your personal self, are the  thoughts of your mind, thoughts that while certainly changeable, are
T3:21.12 you certain of your personal self, are the thoughts of your mind,  thoughts that while certainly changeable, are unmistakably claimed to
T3:21.15 and so on. The aspect that has to do with beliefs is linked to your  thoughts and ideas about the world you live in and the “type” of
T3:21.16 world view cannot help but be different than your own—those whose  thoughts are surely as distinct and separate as are your own.
T3:21.18 your identity, an identity that has nothing to do with the  thoughts of a separated mind or the circumstances of the physical
T4:10.2 or be anything beyond that which you now are, without learning. Your  thoughts might stray to ideas about experiencing, rather than
T4:12.20 now in the state of Christ-consciousness, the pattern of the old  thoughts will continue until they are replaced by a new pattern. That

D:11.1 your thoughts to communicate effectively, you take note of your  thoughts and you take notes on the thoughts of others.
D:11.1 you take note of your thoughts and you take notes on the  thoughts of others.
D:11.2 You might even consider this Dialogue the written notes of my  thoughts. In this one example can you not see the fallacy inherent in
D:11.2 is capable of taking notes? You think it is only the content of your  thoughts that differentiate you from others. Do you think the same is

D:11.5 your promise has lit a bonfire in your heart and begun a stampede of  thoughts within your mind. Again, is this not what we spoke of in the
D:11.7 acceptance that it is already accomplished. And yet, as soon as your  thoughts begin to accept this, many of you reverse the direction of
D:11.7 begin to accept this, many of you reverse the direction of your  thoughts and turn to ideas of what you still need to do to accomplish
D:11.7 make your contribution. Such is the way of the mind, the way of the  thoughts of the mind.

D:11.18 Turn now not to your  thoughts, but to the mind and heart joined in unity. In unity! Unity

D:12.2 words, in fact, “hears” these words as thoughts. They are not “her”  thoughts, but they also are not separate from her. How can this be?

D:12.10 moment at the end of the day. Again we will see the idea of  thoughts “coming to you” at such times. This is not the “thinking” of
D:12.11 Thinking is more descriptive of the ego mind;  thoughts are more descriptive of the true mind. I am not saying that

D:Day10.33 My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, turn your  thoughts not to ideals of social activism, to causes, or to
D:Day10.33 or to championing any one side over another. Turn not to your  thoughts but to your feelings and go where they lead. And everywhere
D:Day12.1 we listen with a new ear, the ear of the heart. Now we recognize the  thoughts that would censor our feelings, calling them selfish,
D:Day12.1 uncaring, or judgmental. We examine. And we realize it is our  thoughts and not our feelings that are selfish, uncaring, or
D:Day12.1 Our space is the space of unity. It is the space of ease because  thoughts are no longer allowed their rule.

C:28.7 done. This it is, but without the drudgery of time spent. It is your  time to shine, to be a light to those who live in darkness.
C:28.8 And yet it is a  time of great humility. Of wearing the face of Christ for all to see.
C:28.10 As the dawn is unrestrained in its bursting forth, so has been your  time of innocence. Not so the approach of day as the sun slowly rises
C:28.10 of day as the sun slowly rises and as slowly sets. This is a  time of being both guided and restrained. A time of realizing that
C:28.10 slowly sets. This is a time of being both guided and restrained. A  time of realizing that you can know without knowing what to do, and
C:28.10 it, this is, at first, quite true. But now it is no longer the  time to rely on conviction that comes from the witnesses you find
C:28.10 you find along your way. They serve a limited purpose for a limited  time. Now is the time to step beyond the validation that your
C:28.10 way. They serve a limited purpose for a limited time. Now is the  time to step beyond the validation that your teachers can give you.
C:29.1 requirements of the present. It is the appropriate attitude for the  time of tenderness, as it is an attitude of ministry.
C:29.9 The  time of tenderness is the time of your approach to unity. The

C:29.11 toil is part of your rebellion against ideas of service. You have no  time for more than you do now, and you think of service, if you think
C:29.12 important for you to realize that God’s work takes place outside of  time, as do all acts of true service or creation. This is not a

C:29.27 to learn or grow is ever missed. Each still exists, though not in  time. Each still exists, but in the present. Can you replace your
C:30.4 relationship is being present. Being present has nothing to do with  time as you think of it. You think of this instruction to be present
C:30.4 of this instruction to be present as an instruction that relates to  time. You think of present time, past time, future time. We have
C:30.4 present as an instruction that relates to time. You think of present  time, past time, future time. We have spoken of these modes of
C:30.4 an instruction that relates to time. You think of present time, past  time, future time. We have spoken of these modes of keeping time as
C:30.4 that relates to time. You think of present time, past time, future  time. We have spoken of these modes of keeping time as well, but as
C:30.4 past time, future time. We have spoken of these modes of keeping  time as well, but as the word keeping illustrates, there is nothing

C:30.8 matter. In matter, being must be attached to form. In the sense of  time described by the word present, there is no infinitude, but only
C:31.10 this notion of losing your Self to God, and you will be done for all  time with resisting God. Only in God can you find your Self. This is
C:31.10 to you, and is the reason for man’s quest for God throughout all  time. Man may think he looks to God for answers, for release from
C:31.33 truth. Giving and receiving are both taking place, both at the same  time, as are seeking and finding, once you are aware of what it is
C:32.5 kind. Thus will all you have already received be remembered in this  time of the second coming of Christ.
T1:1.11 change this will bring, and, as you are still experiencing change in  time, without guidance, this change would be seen as quite difficult
T1:2.1 of A Course of Love instructed you to think no more. A break in  time was needed for you to disengage the ego-mind that produced the
T1:3.12 convince you now is what I will provide. Such is the urgency of the  time, the urgency for the return to unity, the urgency of the need to
T1:4.17 interpretation of meaning if it is helpful to you, saves you  time, or seems in accord with your own views. Others of you feel it
T1:4.27 in you that it has become an aspect of yourself as human being. From  time immemorial, fear has been associated with God. This was the
T1:4.27 an end to fear and ushering in, with this ending, the beginning of a  time of miracles.
T1:5.4 is another aspect that relates to the fear of union we spent much  time discussing within A Course of Love. It is a fear of the human

T1:7.2 other hand there is light. One or the other must exist at a given  time, but never both. Thus the absence of good health is disease; the
T1:7.4 teaching device of the Holy Spirit. But I have not yet said that the  time of the Holy Spirit is ending even though I have stated that the
T1:7.4 time of the Holy Spirit is ending even though I have stated that the  time of the second coming of Christ is here. I have said that the
T1:7.4 time of the second coming of Christ is here. I have said that the  time of parables has ended and asked you not to look to those
T1:8.3 the understanding of the truth of an historical event changes over  time and it may take a hundred or a thousand or even two thousand
T1:8.3 previously, there is only one truth. There was only one truth at the  time the event or change took place, and there is only one truth in
T1:8.3 time the event or change took place, and there is only one truth in  time or eternity regardless of the variety of interpretations of the
T1:8.16 It is one more demonstration of what needs to occur now, in this  time, in order for the truth of the resurrection to be revealed and
T1:9.11 action, of inspiration and manifestation? It will mean union and a  time of miracles. It will mean that you are the living Body of Christ.
T1:9.13 learned this Course? Has it not seemed to lie dormant for periods of  time and then to suddenly be called back to life through some event
T2:1.4 may find in this a somewhat peaceful resting place to dwell in for a  time. You may find that despite having learned much about the need to
T2:1.9 becomes a completed painting that you hang upon your wall. The  time of painting becomes a place. A room or studio is envisioned in
T2:4.1 life beyond death as well as life before birth and life during your  time here. It is all one because it is all from the same Source.
T2:4.6 of separation, my dear brothers and sisters, and this is what it is  time for you to learn.
T2:4.12 to do. This is not about the past and all those things that at one  time or another you thought would bring you fulfillment. This is
T2:4.18 your calling even though some of you may feel as if you are in a  time of waiting for you hear no such call. The call is to be who you
T2:4.18 of its simultaneous nature. As was said within A Course of Love,  time is but a measurement of the “time” it takes for learning to
T2:4.18 of the “time” it takes for learning to occur. As this notion of  time dissolves, the state of miracle-readiness becomes your natural
T2:5.3 ambiguity. The certainty of an announcement can alert you that it is  time to act. This might be considered the highest form of call, the
T2:6.1 It is what 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
T2:6.1 time in the place we are calling within and your heart knows not of  time even while it adheres to the rules of time you would place upon
T2:6.1 your heart knows not of time even while it adheres to the rules of  time you would place upon yourself. Cease adhering to the rules of
T2:6.1 time you would place upon yourself. Cease adhering to the rules of  time and see how much more the language of your heart becomes known
T2:6.2 I speak here not of the rules of  time that govern your days and years but the rules of time that you
T2:6.2 the rules of time that govern your days and years but the rules of  time that you believe govern your days and years and that you thus
T2:6.2 days and years and that you thus allow to govern your thinking. If  time is but a measure of learning, and if your learning is now at the
T2:6.2 stage at which it occurs in unison with unlearning, then the end of  time as you know it is close at hand. If you can begin now to think
T2:6.2 close at hand. If you can begin now to think without the barriers of  time you but place upon your thinking, you will advance this process
T2:6.2 bring about the end of the pattern of learning that you refer to as  time. The end of the pattern of learning that you refer to as time is
T2:6.2 to as time. The end of the pattern of learning that you refer to as  time is the beginning of the time of unity.
T2:6.2 of learning that you refer to as time is the beginning of the  time of unity.
T2:6.3 Let us review these beliefs and how they relate to your concept of  time.
T2:6.5 What does this mean in regards to  time? You might think of being accomplished as all of your work being
T2:6.5 is no work to be done, nothing for you to do, for what do you need  time? Have you ever conceived of accomplishing anything without
T2:6.5 conceived of accomplishing anything without taking into account the  time that it will take? Relate this question to our discussion of
T2:6.5 that your treasures only become accomplished abilities within  time. You believe that your treasures only become part of your
T2:6.5 only become part of your identity when you have passed beyond the  time it takes for those treasures to become abilities. Thus all that
T2:6.5 might wish to accomplish stands separate from you and beyond you in  time. That your mind projects what you desire to accomplish onto an
T2:6.5 mind projects what you desire to accomplish onto an unknown future  time is what would seem to keep you from accomplishment. I say that
T2:6.5 has worked, you act as if you are being kept from accomplishment by  time, and this “seems” quite real to you. This “seems” quite real to
T2:6.9 is a recognition that you exist in unity outside of the pattern of  time. Miracles create an out-of-pattern time interval. Thus living in
T2:6.9 outside of the pattern of time. Miracles create an out-of-pattern  time interval. Thus living in a state of miracle-readiness is the
T2:6.9 is the creation of a new reality outside of the pattern of ordinary  time. Although this state exists as the already accomplished, it is
T2:7.7 belief of all to integrate into the living of your life. Each  time another thwarts you, you will be tempted to believe that giving
T2:7.15 needs to be met. It is trusting that if you have a need for money or  time or honesty or love, it will be provided.
T2:7.17 and feelings? For some of you this answer has changed greatly over  time. But for many of you, you have become less, rather than more
T2:7.20 that giving and receiving are one in truth changes the function of  time as you know it. There is not a period of waiting or a period of
T2:7.20 time as you know it. There is not a period of waiting or a period of  time between giving and receiving. There is not a time-lapse between
T2:7.20 and receiving occur in unison, thus further collapsing the need for  time.
T2:7.21 of receiving and of needs being met may seem to still take  time, this belief builds on the belief of the already accomplished
T2:8.4 are calls to truth and but take the form of honesty for a brief  time as the truth of who you are is revealed to you and through your
T2:8.7 How much  time will be saved by an end to empty seeking? You have already
T2:8.7 by an end to empty seeking? You have already arrived and need no  time to journey any longer. How much time will be saved by an end to
T2:8.7 already arrived and need no time to journey any longer. How much  time will be saved by an end to the maintenance required by special
T2:9.1 I ask you now to remember a  time when you felt from another the desire to help or to meet your
T2:9.17 and exhaling, the give and take of breathing that you live. Each  time you are tempted to think that your needs can only be met in
T2:10.3 I ask you to think for a moment of a  time when you attempted to recall a specific memory. This may have
T2:10.3 it from you? You might feel frustrated with your memory at such a  time and even say something such as “my brain just isn’t working
T2:11.7 This is why we spent a fair amount of  time addressing needs in a way we had not previously addressed them.
T2:11.15 it still, will be demonstrated before you just as it has been from  time immemorial. Is this what you would have continue? Does this not
T2:11.16 not know who you are. You may think you know, and you may waste much  time in perceived battles, valiantly fighting for good to win out
T2:13.2 to return you to your Self. Now that you have been made ready, it is  time for us to have a personal relationship. We have, within these
T2:13.4 with our Father. As you move into the world with the end of the  time of separation and the beginning of the time of unity taking
T2:13.4 with the end of the time of separation and the beginning of the  time of unity taking place around you, practice the beliefs that have
T2:13.4 beliefs that have been put forth in this Treatise. Know that, in the  time of unity, the truth will be shared by all.
T2:13.5 state of grace in which you exist here and remain forever beyond all  time and the passing of all form. It is an attitude of praise and
T2:13.6 as I guide you to your purpose here and linger with you in this  time to end all time. We are here, together, in love, to share love.
T2:13.6 you to your purpose here and linger with you in this time to end all  time. We are here, together, in love, to share love. This is not such
T3:1.11 once presented to others as “who you were” was a self who existed in  time, a self who believed that the past made up the self of the
T3:1.12 I can do this because I accomplished this, both in life and in all  time and time beyond time, making you, along with me, the
T3:1.12 this because I accomplished this, both in life and in all time and  time beyond time, making you, along with me, the accomplished. As has
T3:1.12 I accomplished this, both in life and in all time and time beyond  time, making you, along with me, the accomplished. As has already
T3:2.4 While much  time was spent within this Course, discussing the choice you but
T3:4.1 not a self-help course but just the opposite. This Course has stated  time and time again that you cannot learn on your own and that
T3:4.1 course but just the opposite. This Course has stated time and  time again that you cannot learn on your own and that resigning as
T3:4.7 to save the first. The ego has also been dismantled and rebuilt over  time and been seen as the rise and fall of civilizations. But as we
T3:5.2 not all emptiness has come to you at the hands of suffering. Each  time you have “fallen” in love you have emptied a space for love to
T3:5.2 “fallen” in love you have emptied a space for love to fill. Each  time you have felt true devotion you have emptied a space for love to
T3:5.4 foundation, attempting to make do with what you have. All your  time was spent in making repairs and this time spent kept you too
T3:5.4 what you have. All your time was spent in making repairs and this  time spent kept you too busy to see the light that was always visible
T3:5.6 The story that I lived was appropriate for the  time in which I lived it, and has an appropriateness that continues
T3:5.6 the earth in order to reveal a God of love. The question of the  time, a question still much in evidence, was how mighty could God’s
T3:5.8 This story has been repeated endlessly in  time, in time extending both forward and back. Each father’s son will
T3:5.8 This story has been repeated endlessly in time, in  time extending both forward and back. Each father’s son will die.
T3:6.4 everything, including your very existence. This blame is as old as  time itself and the cause of bitterness being able to exist, even
T3:6.6 none can cleanse bitterness from the heart without your choice. The  time of tenderness began your release of bitterness and made you
T3:8.4 that you are attached to, I want you to think of attachments for a  time and see how bitterness does indeed fit into this category.
T3:8.4 or the identity of many past lives, the identity you hold in this  time and this place still believes in its own history and that of
T3:9.2 did. Yet, as these ideas are not learned ideas, they will not take  time, as did the ego’s ideas, to spread through learning.
T3:9.5 no more. This was the work of many who came before you but the  time of such work, for you, is past. Many remain to shake the walls
T3:9.7 This is the pilgrimage I set you upon, as real as those who in the  time of Moses journeyed through the desert to the Promised Land. That
T3:10.4 again and I choose to do so no longer.” You need not spend any more  time with blame than this and I offer you no word or sentiment to
T3:10.7 of earlier will be able to be realized. You have passed through your  time of unlearning what the past but seemed to teach you. Now, while
T3:10.8 of its messages remain within your thoughts, like echoes of a former  time. These thoughts are remembered messages and so must, like all
T3:10.11 like remedial lessons, they are not. You are no longer called to a  time of uncertainty to learn through contrast the lessons of
T3:10.11 Thus when uncertainty arises, you need but remind yourself that the  time for uncertainty is past. Uncertainty will not now come to teach
T3:10.14 Yet the ease with which you communicate with them will diminish over  time. You will find yourself continuously teaching the language, if
T3:11.6 During the  time I spent on earth I did not dwell in the house of illusion but in
T3:11.15 they exist in the House of Truth. You will, in truth, for quite some  time, be striving to remain aware even that you have changed dwelling
T3:11.15 that you have changed dwelling places. There is a reason for this  time of varying degrees of awareness. As the old continues to help
T3:12.2 You exist within the  time of consciousness of the personal self. Thus we begin our work
T3:12.2 steps that came before that of the personal self did not come within  time. The creation of time was simultaneous with the creation of the
T3:12.2 that of the personal self did not come within time. The creation of  time was simultaneous with the creation of the personal self. Because
T3:12.2 the steps that came before that of the personal self did not come in  time, they are eternal, eternal levels of consciousness that still
T3:12.3 Temptations of the human experience exist only in  time. What we are about to do is move the human experience out of the
T3:12.3 we are about to do is move the human experience out of the realm of  time. For this to happen, we must remove the time-bound temptations
T3:12.4 Matter or form is bound by  time. Spirit is not. The House of Truth cannot be bound by time and
T3:12.4 bound by time. Spirit is not. The House of Truth cannot be bound by  time and be a House of Truth. How then can the personal self begin to
T3:12.4 the personal self begin to realize the human experience outside of  time? The answer is thus: by changing the consciousness of the
T3:14.1 the truth. The thought system of the ego was based on fear. In this  time of translation from one thought system to the other, the most
T3:14.10 this point, still hold to yourself and call unforgivable, now is the  time to let them go. If you have read the paragraph above and feel it
T3:14.11 whether you want suffering to continue or want to abolish it for all  time. If you are holding onto regrets you are holding on to blame. If
T3:14.12 the future can be built upon it. This is why we have spent so much  time unlearning and why we continue with lessons of forgetting.
T3:16.6 What is, is, despite the lag in  time that would seem to make all that we speak of here a blueprint
T3:16.6 a blueprint for some future reality. All that would keep this lag in  time a constant, and make it seem as if what is now is still awaiting
T3:17.3 As soon as spirit took on form, man began to exist in  time because there became a need for a beginning and an ending to the
T3:17.3 ending to the chosen experience. Thus each self of form is born into  time and each self of form dies out of time. Both birth and death
T3:17.3 self of form is born into time and each self of form dies out of  time. Both birth and death have always existed as choices, as
T3:17.3 as choices, as beginnings and endings to the finite experience of  time. It is the nature of what is finite to begin and end. Birth and
T3:17.4 As has been said before,  time is a measurement of the “time” it takes for learning to occur. A
T3:17.5 that has led, through the learning of untruth in the mechanism of  time, to the world in which you now exist. It may seem ridiculous to
T3:17.5 can be learned, but this is exactly what has been learned during the  time of your experience in physical form. Since your true Self could

T3:17.7 Art of Thought” that the time of the Holy Spirit has ended and the  time of the second coming of Christ is here. The name of Christ was
T3:17.7 followed their teachings and example. This has occurred within the  time of the Holy Spirit.
T3:17.8 to you. The “time” of the Holy Spirit has now ended because the  time of illusion is now called to an end. What is finite has an end
T3:17.8 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 and
T3:17.8 of Truth rather than the house of illusion, is what will end the  time of illusion. Just as the truth is the truth and illusion is
T3:17.8 we speak of here is the same as the end we speak of here. The  time of the Holy Spirit, or the time in which communication was
T3:17.8 as the end we speak of here. The time of the Holy Spirit, or the  time in which communication was needed between the illusion and the
T3:19.9 There is no longer any  time to waste on such illusions. The thought system of the truth sees
T3:19.14 anything at all about the nature of who you are. This is why no more  time can be wasted and why so many are being called in the strongest
T3:19.15 and bid them join you in the reality of the truth. But in this  time of Christ, a new time, a time without parallel or comparison,
T3:19.15 you in the reality of the truth. But in this time of Christ, a new  time, a time without parallel or comparison, this will not be
T3:19.15 the reality of the truth. But in this time of Christ, a new time, a  time without parallel or comparison, this will not be possible. It
T3:20.1 By saying that there is no longer any  time to be wasted on illusion we are saying that you will no longer
T3:20.1 to be wasted on illusion we are saying that you will no longer serve  time but that time will serve you. Time was wasted on illusion and so
T3:20.1 illusion we are saying that you will no longer serve time but that  time will serve you. Time was wasted on illusion and so but seemed to
T3:20.1 that you will no longer serve time but that time will serve you.  Time was wasted on illusion and so but seemed to become a master that
T3:20.1 and so but seemed to become a master that made of you a slave. Now  time must be thought of in a new way, a way that has to do with
T3:20.2 in regards to the learning of the truth. As this is all that  time is for, and all that time is but a measurement of, it rightly
T3:20.2 learning of the truth. As this is all that time is for, and all that  time is but a measurement of, it rightly follows that learning can

T3:21.6 because it is attached to a person. A person is a being born into  time, a being whose existence began in time and will end in time.
T3:21.6 A person is a being born into time, a being whose existence began in  time and will end in time.
T3:21.6 into time, a being whose existence began in time and will end in  time.
T3:21.7 and the true Self to exist together is for the truth to be lived in  time. In order for the truth to be lived in time you must forget your
T3:21.7 the truth to be lived in time. In order for the truth to be lived in  time you must forget your uncertainty and be certain of the truth.
T3:21.18 existence to seem to have more of a dualistic nature for a short  time while you carry observance forward into observance of your
T3:21.18 personal self. As was said at the beginning of this Treatise, by the  time the learning of this Treatise is complete, the personal self
T3:21.21 While this has been called the  time of Christ, it is obviously no longer the time of Jesus Christ.
T3:21.21 has been called the time of Christ, it is obviously no longer the  time of Jesus Christ. My time came and my time ended. The time when a
T3:21.21 of Christ, it is obviously no longer the time of Jesus Christ. My  time came and my time ended. The time when a single baby born of a
T3:21.21 is obviously no longer the time of Jesus Christ. My time came and my  time ended. The time when a single baby born of a virgin mother could
T3:21.21 longer the time of Jesus Christ. My time came and my time ended. The  time when a single baby born of a virgin mother could change the
T3:22.12 the dualistic world in which you have lived, a world wherein a lag  time exists between what is and what will be. You may have, upon
T3:22.14 where what is, is separated from what will be by your effort and the  time that it will take you to, through your effort, create the
T3:22.15 The creative tension existed not only as a product of the duality of  time, but also as a product of distrust. It was a tension that
T4:1.8 As is clearly being seen amid many school systems in the current  time, the choice to not learn what is taught in school, when taken up
T4:1.11 is the same question that has been asked throughout the existence of  time. Some have chosen to come to know themselves and God directly.
T4:1.11 All are chosen and so it could not be otherwise. But at the same  time, it must be seen that your choice matters in time, even if all
T4:1.11 But at the same time, it must be seen that your choice matters in  time, even if all will make the same choice eventually.
T4:1.13 you might just be able to achieve what others have not; that this  time might just be different than any other time. Even as you begin
T4:1.13 have not; that this time might just be different than any other  time. Even as you begin to tentatively let this excitement grow, your
T4:1.13 ago, by countless souls more worthy than you, and ushered in the  time of heaven on earth and the end of suffering long ago? Could many
T4:1.14 and uncertainty, your fear of believing in yourself and in this  time as the time to end all time. There must be something different
T4:1.14 your fear of believing in yourself and in this time as the  time to end all time. There must be something different about this
T4:1.14 of believing in yourself and in this time as the time to end all  time. There must be something different about this time, the
T4:1.14 time to end all time. There must be something different about this  time, the capabilities of those existing within it. It must be your
T4:1.14 or technology, your advanced mental abilities, or even your leisure  time that has opened up this opportunity. The only alternative would
T4:1.14 alternative would seem to be that this must be simply the chosen  time and you the chosen people. If the chosen time had been two
T4:1.14 be simply the chosen time and you the chosen people. If the chosen  time had been two thousand years ago, life would have been different
T4:1.16 same as saying the truth exists within you. It is in this way that  time is not real and will no longer be real to you as you come to
T4:1.17 The difference between this  time and the time that has but seemed to have gone before has already
T4:1.17 The difference between this time and the  time that has but seemed to have gone before has already been stated
T4:1.17 gone before has already been stated as the difference between the  time of the Holy Spirit and the time of Christ. This has also been
T4:1.17 stated as the difference between the time of the Holy Spirit and the  time of Christ. This has also been restated as the difference between
T4:1.17 of Christ. This has also been restated as the difference between the  time of learning through contrast and the time of learning through
T4:1.17 the difference between the time of learning through contrast and the  time of learning through observation. It is further stated here as
T4:1.18 choosing you by choosing God. This is all the chosen people are in  time—those who have chosen God as God has chosen them. That you
T4:1.18 —the means of Christ-consciousness, is what has ushered in the new  time.
T4:1.20 religions and varying sets of beliefs that, in the way of the  time—the way of learning through contrast—provided contrast
T4:1.20 learning did occur and has continued to occur even unto this  time. You have learned much of the nature of the truth by seeing what
T4:1.22 called you to the limits of the state of consciousness that was the  time of the Holy Spirit. This limit acted upon you as a catalyst to
T4:1.23 yearning has driven them to and thought, incorrectly, that the new  time that is here is the end of the days of innocence. You may have
T4:1.24 experience. Many not yet grown to maturity have been born into the  time of Christ, and do not fit within the time or the consciousness
T4:1.24 have been born into the time of Christ, and do not fit within the  time or the consciousness of the Holy Spirit.
T4:1.25 For a short  time, an overlap is occurring during which those unable to allow
T4:1.26 Those born into the  time of Christ will settle for nothing less than the truth and will
T4:1.27 Let me repeat that during the  time of the Holy Spirit, some were able to come to know themselves
T4:1.27 or experience. It means that the last generation born into the  time of the Holy Spirit will live out their lives and that soon all
T4:1.27 and that soon all who remain on earth will be those born into the  time of Christ.
T4:2.4 no Way or path or process back to God and Self before me. It was the  time of man wandering in the wilderness. I came as a representation
T4:2.4 Self. Jesus the man was the intermediary who ushered in the  time of the Holy Spirit by calling the Holy Spirit to possess the
T4:2.5 and relationship is still The Way and The Way has come into the  time of its fullness.
T4:2.7 it did not exist; that there are others living among you in this  time who will not become aware of their true nature does not mean
T4:2.7 the truth of all of your brothers and sisters from the beginning of  time until the end of time. Any text that tells you that you or those
T4:2.7 brothers and sisters from the beginning of time until the end of  time. Any text that tells you that you or those of your kind or time
T4:2.7 of time. Any text that tells you that you or those of your kind or  time are more or better than any other is not speaking the truth.
T4:2.8 if you were to see into the eyes and hearts of any human from any  time with true vision, you would see the accomplished Self there.
T4:2.9 you familiar with the Bible, upon hearing words such as the end of  time or the fullness of time, think of the predictions of the
T4:2.9 Bible, upon hearing words such as the end of time or the fullness of  time, think of the predictions of the biblical end of time. I speak
T4:2.9 fullness of time, think of the predictions of the biblical end of  time. I speak of this because it is in your awareness and because
T4:2.9 is in your awareness and because many false interpretations of this  time as a time of judgment and of separating the chosen people from
T4:2.9 awareness and because many false interpretations of this time as a  time of judgment and of separating the chosen people from all others
T4:2.10 not consistent with the idea of unity. If you proceed into this new  time thinking that this new time will separate you from others, or
T4:2.10 of unity. If you proceed into this new time thinking that this new  time will separate you from others, or cause you, as the chosen, to
T4:2.10 chosen, to be separate, you will not become fully aware of the new  time. Full awareness of the new is what this Treatise seeks to
T4:2.12 that others will soon do the same, and that those who follow in  time will do so more easily, with less effort, and with even greater
T4:2.12 success. They may consider themselves “better than” for a moment in  time, but those who do will be bitterly disappointed as their moment
T4:2.14 past, to believe that you are chosen to be the pioneers into a new  time without believing that you are special. This is one of the many
T4:2.21 that exists with you, including the days that make up your life in  time and space. Observing what is unites you with the present in that
T4:2.23 that feel real with like-minded associates for brief periods of  time, but still essentially seeing yourself moving through life
T4:2.28 union is what differentiated me from my brothers and sisters at the  time of my life on earth. Because my state of consciousness, a state
T4:3.6 is joyful, effortless, and full of love. For every being existing in  time there is also an unnatural state of being. Both states of being
T4:3.6 brought a child into a fearful world, became subject to the tests of  time. Thus did the world become a world of effort with all things in
T4:3.13 Man has striven since the beginning of  time to be done with the separated state of a being of form, and at
T4:3.13 be done with the separated state of a being of form, and at the same  time to hang on to life; not realizing that what exists in form does
T4:4.4 The passing of a parent was seen, particularly historically, as the  time of the child of the parent coming into his or her inheritance or
T4:4.4 of the child of the parent coming into his or her inheritance or  time of fullness. The power and prestige, the earthly wealth of the
T4:4.5 of the reasons that I came in the form of the “son of God.” In the  time in which I lived, the idea of inheritance was an even stronger
T4:4.9 Treatise is called “A Treatise on the New.” There has not been a  time on Earth in which the inheritance of God the Father was
T4:4.9 of God the Father was accepted, save by me. This is why this  time is spoken of as the time of fullness. It is the time during
T4:4.9 was accepted, save by me. This is why this time is spoken of as the  time of fullness. It is the time during which you have within your
T4:4.9 is why this time is spoken of as the time of fullness. It is the  time during which you have within your awareness the ability to come
T4:4.9 which you have within your awareness the ability to come into your  time of fullness by accepting the inheritance of your Father. You
T4:5.2 form the orchestra and chorus of creation. You might think of your  time here as that of being apprentice musicians. You must learn or
T4:5.11 you are or who you think you are. You do not die to choice. At the  time of death you are assisted in ways not formerly possible to you
T4:5.12 a collective choice as one body, one consciousness, to end the  time of the intermediary and to begin to learn directly, you are
T4:5.13 hell. Others as all or nothing. Many of you have thought of it as a  time of judgment. But I tell you truly; it is no different than the
T4:5.13 time of judgment. But I tell you truly; it is no different than the  time that is upon you right now. The afterlife has simply been a time
T4:5.13 the time that is upon you right now. The afterlife has simply been a  time of increased choice because it has been a time of increased
T4:5.13 has simply been a time of increased choice because it has been a  time of increased awareness. Loosed of the body and the body’s
T4:5.13 choice has been revealed to those having experienced death. At that  time it is your judgment of yourself and your ability to believe in
T4:5.13 your life will continue. The same is true right now! For this is the  time of Christ and thus of your ability to choose
T4:5.13 death. Being loosed of the body by death was the chosen means of the  time of the intermediary, the chosen means of attaining
T4:5.13 and direct revelation. The elevation of the personal self in this  time of Christ can be the new choice.
T4:6.4 In this  time of Christ, this time of direct revelation and direct sharing,
T4:6.4 In this time of Christ, this  time of direct revelation and direct sharing, the probable future you
T4:6.8 You have the unequalled opportunity now, because you exist in the  Time of Christ, to directly share Christ-consciousness and thus
T4:6.8 You can pass on the inheritance you accept in this fullness of  time. In this time of unity, dedicate all thought to unity. Accept no
T4:6.8 pass on the inheritance you accept in this fullness of time. In this  time of unity, dedicate all thought to unity. Accept no separation.
T4:6.8 Accept all choices. Thus are all chosen in the fullness of  time.
T4:7.2 That you are living in the  time of Christ does not mean that you will automatically realize
T4:7.2 automatically realize Christ-consciousness, just as living in the  time of the Holy Spirit did not mean that you would automatically
T4:7.2 of the spirit that was your intermediary. But just as during the  time of the Holy Spirit, your understanding of your Self and God grew
T4:7.2 through the indirect means that were available to you, during the  time of Christ, your understanding of your Self and God cannot help
T4:7.2 the direct and observable means now available. Just as in the  time of the Holy Spirit the spirit was available to all as
T4:7.2 Spirit the spirit was available to all as intermediary, during the  time of Christ, Christ-consciousness is available to all.
T4:7.3 will seem to lie before you and your brothers and sisters in this  time. The understanding of the unity that creates and sustains all
T4:7.3 now be as close to the surface of consciousness as was, during the  time of the Holy Spirit, the understanding that man is imbued with
T4:8.1 separate “you” or some species without form who at some point in  time chose to express love in physical form, and so began this
T4:8.5 lives in form. It has a starting point from which it grows into its  time of fullness. Creation on the scale at which God creates produced
T4:8.9 rebel against the learning that was needed in order to come into the  time of fullness of a being able to express itself in form, never
T4:9.4 But now the  time is upon you to leave learned works behind in favor of
T4:9.4 behind in favor of observation, vision and revelation. Now is the  time to leave behind study for imagining, envisioning, and desire.
T4:9.4 behind study for imagining, envisioning, and desire. Now is the  time to move out of the time of becoming who you are to the time of
T4:9.4 envisioning, and desire. Now is the time to move out of the  time of becoming who you are to the time of being who you are.
T4:9.4 is the time to move out of the time of becoming who you are to the  time of being who you are.
T4:9.5 You have felt this  time coming. You have realized that your learning has reached an end
T4:9.6 of a promise that has surely been made! Rejoice that the new  time is here and be ready to embrace it as it embraces you!
T4:9.7 ready finally to be loosed of the bounds of the personal self. This  time of concentration on the self is unheralded in history. It is
T4:9.9 sisters in this next phase of the journey, the journey out of the  time of learning that will usher in the fullness of time.
T4:9.9 out of the time of learning that will usher in the fullness of  time.
T4:10.1 to becoming a true student, and to now leading you beyond the  time of being a student to the realization of your accomplishment.
T4:10.2 learning you will meet resistance and realize, for perhaps the first  time, that learning is what your entire life has been about. You
T4:10.11 Self of love in form. No longer learning is the revelation that the  time of accomplishment is upon you and the expression of the Self of
T4:10.12 can be learned. It is something that can only be lived. This is the  time of the fulfillment of the lesson of the birds of the air who
T4:10.13 As I said earlier, some will not be willing to move out of the  time of learning. Those who have learned what this Course would teach
T4:12.2 From this  time on, I will respond to you through direct communication or
T4:12.3 At this  time, there is a gathering of pioneers of the new already in
T4:12.8 state. All conditions that were intermediary in nature during the  time of learning, are, during the time of sharing, naturally
T4:12.8 intermediary in nature during the time of learning, are, during the  time of sharing, naturally converted to direct experiences of sharing.
T4:12.9 of students, gather still, and experience sharing directly. If a  time arrives when you no longer feel drawn to these modes of sharing,
T4:12.10 All you must remember now is that the  time of learning is past. While you are still encountering concerns
T4:12.12 soon as he was content within the life of the monastery, that it was  time to once again move out into the world. What he was really saying
T4:12.12 as the sign that one period of learning was over and that it was  time to move on to the next. During the time of learning, this
T4:12.12 was over and that it was time to move on to the next. During the  time of learning, this statement was consistent with learned wisdom.
T4:12.12 this statement was consistent with learned wisdom. During the new  time of sharing, there is no “next phase” of learning for you to move
T4:12.17 I attempted to dislodge much of this learned wisdom during my  time on Earth and man is still puzzling over the meaning of my words.
T4:12.17 on Earth and man is still puzzling over the meaning of my words. The  time for puzzlement is over. Pass on no more of the prevailing
T4:12.19 you to try to remember to turn to the new rather than the old each  time you think you are experiencing uncertainty or lack.
T4:12.28 The individual or singular consciousness that was appropriate to the  time of learning does not continue. Thus the new pattern is one of
T4:12.32 in form are yet to be revealed and shared. This is the  time that is before us, the time of creation of the future, the time
T4:12.32 to be revealed and shared. This is the time that is before us, the  time of creation of the future, the time of the creation of a future
T4:12.32 the time that is before us, the time of creation of the future, the  time of the creation of a future not based upon the past.
T4:12.33 This  time is before us. Because you are a being still existing in form,
T4:12.33 are a being still existing in form, you still exist in the realm of  time and space. Yet time and space no longer separate us, and the
T4:12.33 in form, you still exist in the realm of time and space. Yet  time and space no longer separate us, and the creation of the design
D:1.9 These anti-ego tendencies are a real danger in this  time. You are not called to selflessness but to Self !
D:1.10 thus elevating the personal self. You have thus been self-less for a  time and the personal self has floundered from this lack of identity.
D:1.10 from this lack of identity. A person could literally die during this  time from lack of identity, lack of cause. To die to the personal
D:1.10 being identity-less. The reign of the ego began during just such a  time of identity-less-ness. You cannot go on in such a way.
D:2.5 doctor, teacher, scientist, priest, or engineer is completed, it is  time for the student to claim a new identity—that of doctor,
D:2.5 To continue to feel a need to learn rather than realizing that the  time of learning has come to an end, would be to not realize
D:2.11 seen as a “successful pattern,” and would be repeated until such a  time as the pattern failed to achieve the successful grade or outcome
D:2.17 example, an example of a system which you believe works most of the  time, and are happy to use to acquire a desired end, but which, when
D:3.6 Duality and contrast are synonymous. In the  time of the Holy Spirit, you learned through contrast. You learned
D:3.6 of love and fear, sickness and health, life and death. In this  time of Christ, such learning is no longer necessary, and so these
D:3.7 declassify all the various aspects of life that were needed in the  time of learning. This is why we began quite truthfully and simply
D:3.23 power is needed for the creation of the Covenant of the New in this  time of Christ.
D:4.2 same, you also are not different. The differences you saw during the  time of learning, differences that made you feel as if each being
D:4.3 It is  time now for this idea to be accepted, for if it is not, you will
D:4.7 the prison system is a very successful deterrent. The thought of  time in prison fills the mind with fear. And yet those who are
D:4.11 confident that you have either seen and learned enough during your  time as a learning being that you accept that a divine design created
D:4.13 recreated and we will talk much more of them and of the creative  time we are now entering. Thus far, we are merely working together to
D:4.18 our divine existence, is now recreating the patterns that served the  time of learning. What was learned in the instant in which you came
D:4.18 this has taken so long or on the suffering that occurred during the  time of learning. This would be like dwelling on the inmate’s life as
D:5.8 as an example here. The ego but seemed to be who you were for a  time. Now that you know who you are in truth, the ego does not
D:5.11 is given. All was given to you to remind you of who you are in the  time of learning that is now passing away. Thus all was given to you
D:5.11 is. Now, as you join with the truth, your representation, in the new  time that is before us, will be what is, in its representation.
D:5.12 Love and the loving patterns given in the  time of learning are all that exist in all you see. But what now will
D:5.12 of those around you comes to an end? What was created to serve the  time of learning, to represent what is and aid you in your return to
D:5.14 In this  time of Christ, we are not called to recreate the “tools” of learning
D:5.20 prison, if you continue to think of your environment, your mind, and  time as a prison, how can it exist in perfect harmony with the
D:5.21 learning will change to help you embrace the acceptance of this new  time of no time. You will wonder how to live in time as a being no
D:5.21 change to help you embrace the acceptance of this new time of no  time. You will wonder how to live in time as a being no longer bound
D:5.21 of this new time of no time. You will wonder how to live in  time as a being no longer bound by time. And I tell you truly, that
D:5.21 You will wonder how to live in time as a being no longer bound by  time. And I tell you truly, that once acceptance of what is is
D:6.1 and this you were told as well. I say this to remind you that the  time of “teaching” like the time of “learning” had its place as well
D:6.1 well. I say this to remind you that the time of “teaching” like the  time of “learning” had its place as well as its methods.
D:6.2 that of comparison, a method that will be used less and less as the  time of learning passes. The thought reversal of which we recently
D:6.2 of which we recently spoke is why I bring this up. During your  time of learning, I used a method of comparison—I compared the real
D:6.2 than let them go in order to embrace true representation. In the  time of learning, you were so entrenched in your false beliefs that
D:6.2 needed to be stated and stated again. But as we enter this new  time of elevated form, these same ideas—ideas that many of you
D:6.5 Like all that was created for the  time of learning, the body was the perfect learning device. Seeing it
D:6.5 Seeing it as such assisted us in bringing about the end of the  time of learning. But now your body—your form—must be seen in a
D:6.9 there were many stories about miracles, both before and after the  time in which I lived. If you were to pose to a scientist whether or
D:6.13 if it has been a false certainty, it served a great purpose in the  time of learning. Discovery has been a grand facilitator of the human
D:6.14 as well as to the creation of something new. For in this  time of revelation, discovery is the new divine pattern that will
D:6.16 Be jubilant rather than hesitant about the  time of discovery that is before you. Calling what you think you know
D:6.22 change the “laws” of the body, the laws you gave the body in the  time of learning, knowing not what the design of the body
D:6.25 The body was, in the  time of learning, representative of a learning being. The ego,
D:6.26 I say changed here because you may remember that change occurs in  time. Outside of time and form your Self has always existed in the
D:6.26 here because you may remember that change occurs in time. Outside of  time and form your Self has always existed in the perfect harmony in
D:6.26 has joined the elevated Self of form, you exist together both in  time and outside of time. Remember, the elevated Self of form will
D:6.26 Self of form, you exist together both in time and outside of  time. Remember, the elevated Self of form will never be all that you
D:6.26 will merely represent one aspect of your wholeness in the field of  time.
D:6.27 elevated Self of form, however, being a form that still exists in  time, must realize the consciousness of the true Self in time. What
D:6.27 exists in time, must realize the consciousness of the true Self in  time. What this means is that the elevated Self of form may still
D:6.27 unity. This is why we have spoken of miracles and of the collapse of  time the miracle is capable of providing. We have redefined the
D:6.28 Form and  time go together. Yet you have been told time is a measurement of
D:6.28 Form and time go together. Yet you have been told  time is a measurement of learning. If you are no longer a learning
D:6.28 of learning. If you are no longer a learning being, for what is  time needed? Time is needed now only for the transformation of the
D:6.28 If you are no longer a learning being, for what is time needed?  Time is needed now only for the transformation of the self from a
D:7.2 is shared. This language was used because you were still, at that  time, a learning being. Now we will adjust our language somewhat to
D:7.3 could be shared at another level, and that levels are a function of  time. We then talked of the integration of levels that collapse time.
D:7.3 of time. We then talked of the integration of levels that collapse  time. This integration of levels is the integration of form and
D:7.3 of form and unity. When Christ-consciousness is sustained,  time will collapse and the sun may not need to rise or set to
D:7.4 Experiences of form take place in  time because experience, too, was designed for learning. Now
D:7.4 too, was designed for learning. Now experience is needed in  time to aid your total acceptance of what you have learned. In order
D:7.5 the embrace and the consciousness of unity and places you outside of  time. In this state, no duality exists. Doing and being are one.
D:7.7 only as a particular self, existing as man or woman in a particular  time in history. Now you are called to discover how to exist in form
D:7.8 while not seeing it as “bound” by the particularity of  time and space. It may still exist in a particular time and place,
D:7.8 particularity 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
D:7.15 in hand with the new pattern of discovery, but discovery is less  time bound. Let me explain.
D:7.16 Observation takes place in  time. Even while you have been called to observe what is, what you
D:7.16 what you are observing in form are the representations of what is in  time. Your envisioning too is bound to time and that is why so many
D:7.16 representations of what is in time. Your envisioning too is bound to  time and that is why so many of you think of envisioning as
D:7.16 envisioning as envisioning the future. Envisioning is less bound to  time than is observation because it is not about what your body’s
D:7.18 because they are related to particular forms as they exist in  time. Time is not an aspect of eternity or of unity. Time is thus
D:7.18 because they are related to particular forms as they exist in time.  Time is not an aspect of eternity or of unity. Time is thus what has
D:7.18 they exist in time. Time is not an aspect of eternity or of unity.  Time is thus what has separated the self that exists in form from the
D:7.18 accepted existence as a non-particular being in a state outside of  time—you have accepted existence as a new Self, the Self of
D:7.19 Discovery is not bound by  time as it is an ongoing aspect of creation. As you were told in “A
D:7.21 matter, and of the creature’s perception of its own experience in  time. This time-bound evolution is really adaptation. It occurs in
D:7.23 Everyone knows, in this  time of Christ, that the end of the old way is near and that the new
D:7.23 than adaptation, and evolution moves with them. But evolution in  time is part of the old that needs to be left behind. It is a
D:7.23 of the old that needs to be left behind. It is a provision of the  time of learning that allows the learning being to learn at his or
D:7.23 to learn at his or her own pace and to pass this learning on in  time.
D:7.25 of fear we leave behind as we abandon ideas of evolution in  time and proceed to an awareness of how the elevated Self of form can
D:7.25 how the elevated Self of form can replace the laws of evolution in  time with the laws of transformation outside of time.
D:7.25 laws of evolution in time with the laws of transformation outside of  time.
D:7.26 all that you are. The dot of your body is all that is bound by  time. What transformation outside of time asks you to do is to see
D:7.26 body is all that is bound by time. What transformation outside of  time asks you to do is to see the body as but this one, small, aspect
D:7.26 and others, you have learned to view your body in the field of  time. This will be helpful now as you begin to imagine the “more”
D:7.26 that exists beyond the body’s boundary and beyond the boundary of  time and particularity.
D:7.27 This circle in which you have placed your body is not a circle of  time and space. It is not a circle that can be drawn around where you
D:8.1 of the wider circle. In this area of the wider circle, there is no  time, no space, no particularity. It is an area of unlimited freedom.
D:8.3 a natural ability or talent that existed in some form prior to the  time of learning. We concentrate on this idea merely as an idea and
D:8.3 in you that you have experienced something that existed prior to the  time of learning. And that this something was quite wonderful.
D:8.4 You might think of this ability that existed prior to the  time of learning as coming from the content of the wider circle of
D:9.12 the natural abilities you discovered existed within you prior to the  time of learning, ideas are also discoveries that you make,
D:10.2 Learning is about the transfer of knowledge that was gained in the  time of learning, through the process of learning. Notice the
D:10.4 of these givens, since that expression exists in the realm of  time and space and involves the work and time of your form in your
D:10.4 exists in the realm of time and space and involves the work and  time of your form in your form’s separate reality, is not of union
D:10.7 In this  time of Christ, discovery is about acceptance of your true way of
D:10.7 of your true way of knowing, a way that existed prior to the  time of learning and that has always existed. When put into practice
D:11.6 achieved what you have desired? Is it not possible to conceive of a  time in which desire will no longer serve you, just as learning now
D:11.11 not live from this belief is insane for reasons already enumerated  time and time again. What prevents this belief from becoming an

D:12.16 have experienced the fading of your certainty about this truth over  time. It may have been your inability to convey this truth, another’s
D:13.1 There is no danger, in this  time, that you will know the truth and then discover that you were

D:13.7 those of the past because you are living in the time of Christ, a  time when no intermediaries are needed or required. Thus you are not
D:13.8 join with others who are experiencing the expanding awareness of the  time of Christ, and you will begin to see the evidence that things
D:14.4 in the discovery that lies beyond the body and mind, form and  time. You will need to put into practice the suspension of belief
D:14.10 paves the way much as each step of learning that was needed in the  time of learning paved the way for the next and then the next. But
D:14.12 and so the idea of becoming that has been with humankind throughout  time must signal a recognition that what you are is not complete, has
D:14.15 begins with awareness of what is beyond body and mind, form and  time. It proceeds to this awareness being accepted, adopted as an
D:14.15 act of becoming the elevated Self of form. You are thus entering the  time of becoming, the time of becoming the new you which must precede
D:14.15 Self of form. You are thus entering the time of becoming, the  time of becoming the new you which must precede creation of the new
D:14.17 This wholeness of being is what lies beyond body and mind, form and  time. Becoming the elevated Self of form is becoming whole, and will

D:15.1 principles are like unto the patterns that were created for your  time of learning and that will be applied anew to the creation of new
D:15.1 will be applied anew to the creation of new patterns for the new  time that is upon us.
D:15.3 the life force of creation and of being, both in unity and in  time. By being you are in movement. By being you are an expression of

D:15.21 conditions of learning. Why? Because they are no longer needed. The  time of learning has ended. When this time of becoming has ended, the
D:15.21 they are no longer needed. The time of learning has ended. When this  time of becoming has ended, the conditions that allow your acceptance
D:16.2 exist in unity. Creation occurs in each of us, seemingly one at a  time. Creation is our coming into our true identity, and is the
D:16.4 place as separate steps. This is so because of the condition of  time. Once these principles are unified, time will have ended just as
D:16.4 because of the condition of time. Once these principles are unified,  time will have ended just as time was once begun.
D:16.4 Once these principles are unified, time will have ended just as  time was once begun.
D:16.6 wholeness. Love cannot be learned, and so has stood apart from the  time of learning. Being could be learned here, because it was not yet
D:16.9 apart from Creation, you cannot. But you can, while existing in  time and form, choose to stand apart from movement, being, and

D:16.10 in “A Treatise on the New”, that “Now is the time to move out of the  time of becoming who you are to the time of being who you are,” it
D:16.10 is the time to move out of the time of becoming who you are to the  time of being who you are,” it was not said that this time of

D:16.13 elevated Self of form who you are in the process of becoming. This  time of becoming is the time in between your awareness of and access
D:16.13 who you are in the process of becoming. This time of becoming is the  time in between your awareness of and access to Christ-consciousness

D:16.14 In your  time of directly experiencing the movement, being, and expression of
D:16.15 of becoming is to realize that an in-between exists between the  time of learning and the time of being the elevated Self of form;
D:16.15 that an in-between exists between the time of learning and the  time of being the elevated Self of form; that times still exist in
D:16.16 all of your former ideas about yourself, all of the patterns of the  time of learning, all of the moments in which you feel an inability
D:16.19 are but sensations that remain, like memories of childhood. This  time of becoming is a time of coming to acceptance of them as what
D:16.19 that remain, like memories of childhood. This time of becoming is a  time of coming to acceptance of them as what they are—images. This
D:16.19 time of coming to acceptance of them as what they are—images. This  time of becoming is a time of coming to acceptance that they are not
D:16.19 of them as what they are—images. This time of becoming is a  time of coming to acceptance that they are not real. They are no more
D:16.20 The  time of becoming is a time of letting these images be without
D:16.20 The time of becoming is a  time of letting these images be without reacting to them. It is a
D:16.20 a time of letting these images be without reacting to them. It is a  time of coming to no longer “hold” these images in your mind and
D:16.20 to no longer “hold” these images in your mind and heart. It is a  time of letting them first cease to affect you, and then of letting
D:16.21 are false images, and when you retain them you do not allow for the  time of learning to be replaced with the only replacement that will

D:17.2 The series build to a climax, to what, during the  time of evolution, might have been called evolutionary leaps.
D:17.3 Are you willing to claim it? Are you willing to claim it in form and  time?
D:17.4 Can you understand that what you claim in form and  time was always yours?
D:17.7 offer up your glory and call it down from heaven, both at the same  time.
D:17.11 has been provided, the journey taken. You are present. Now is the  time for your response.
D:17.14 achieved what you have desired? Is it not possible to conceive of a  time in which desire will no longer serve you, just as learning now
D:17.25 This is why you have been told the  time of parables, or stories, has ended. This is why you have been
D:Day1.6 you have arrived here and left behind the state of the initiate, the  time of waiting. You have chosen. You are merely asked now to look at
D:Day1.14 of the holy men and women who walked the way of the world since my  time learned, accepted, and lived the teachings that have brought you
D:Day1.14 the world would be a different place. Have I not called you to a new  time in which the conditions of learning exist no more? In which the
D:Day1.24 of your true Self and true home, in a form that will take you beyond  time to eternity.
D:Day1.25 history proceeds with gaps only waiting to be fulfilled in current  time, so too is it with the story of creation.
D:Day1.27 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 with you. You
D:Day2.1 of your Self is acceptance of your inheritance. Now is the  time to come into full acceptance of the human self as well as the
D:Day2.1 acceptance of the human self as well as the Self of unity. It is  time for the final merging of the two into one Self, the elevated
D:Day2.4 This is the moment of fulfillment and desire coming together, the  time in which to realize “it was all worth it.”
D:Day2.5 This is the  time of revelation of meaning. You who have so long striven to give
D:Day2.11 Now is the  time for acceptance, even of these actions that you would rather not
D:Day2.14 been thoroughly discussed earlier. You have all been through the  time of tenderness, the time that preceded your giving and receiving
D:Day2.14 earlier. You have all been through the time of tenderness, the  time that preceded your giving and receiving of forgiveness, your
D:Day2.17 has been a constant companion of all those who have lived since my  time. It is difficult for you to believe that by following me you
D:Day2.18 does not mean that my life did not happen, that it did not occur in  time and space, just as yours is occurring now in time and space.
D:Day2.18 did not occur in time and space, just as yours is occurring now in  time and space. What this means is that what occurs in time and space
D:Day2.18 now in time and space. What this means is that what occurs in  time and space is symbolic, that it is representative of something
D:Day2.21 appearance of my form in the world, but that mainly occur during my  time of maturity. These accounts do not stress the time of childhood
D:Day2.21 occur during my time of maturity. These accounts do not stress the  time of childhood as it is a time commonly held to be one of
D:Day2.21 These accounts do not stress the time of childhood as it is a  time commonly held to be one of innocence. The accounts of my
D:Day2.23 thus began with the recognition of who I Am, as does yours. This  time was followed by my “example life,” a life that began with the
D:Day2.23 take it away once and for all. We will crucify it upon the cross of  time and space, bury it, so that it need be no more, and demonstrate
D:Day2.25 Here, then, is where you need to make the choice that those in my  time could not make, the choice to end suffering. This is the choice
D:Day3.2 What was it that was “taught” to in the  time of learning? It was the mind. Thus, your mind has been trained
D:Day3.2 learning might be seen as the way learning was meant to be, the  time of this pure learning has grown shorter and shorter while the
D:Day3.2 time of this pure learning has grown shorter and shorter while the  time of enforced learning has grown more entrenched.
D:Day3.9 and thus a life of limits of which you are more accepting. But given  time to consider such an idea, you are likely to become more and more
D:Day3.12 all ideas of lack, an idea you so thoroughly learned during the  time of learning that letting it go, even now, still torments you
D:Day3.13 This is the basic fallacy that the  time of learning supported. The idea of “if this, then that.” The
D:Day3.22 aspirations of wealth, and replaced them with ideas of having more  time, more fulfilling work, simpler pleasures, and yet you still see
D:Day3.27 at ease, for you are not called to sacrifice, as you have been told  time and time again. I do not ask you to give up what you desire, but
D:Day3.27 for you are not called to sacrifice, as you have been told time and  time again. I do not ask you to give up what you desire, but to
D:Day3.30 so many of you are thankful for your good health while at the same  time dreading the disease that may at any point take it from you,
D:Day3.35 You have been told that the  time of the Holy Spirit, the time of a need for an intermediary
D:Day3.35 You have been told that the time of the Holy Spirit, the  time of a need for an intermediary between yourself and God, is gone.
D:Day3.38 What you have “learned,” and since the  time of learning had revealed to you, is a new way, the way of direct
D:Day3.50 value. You may have many good and even inspired ideas within this  time. You may feel as if you are on the right track, that through the
D:Day4.1 brings attention to these areas most incorrectly influenced by the  time of learning. Remember here all the “arguments” that I needed to
D:Day4.5 has been with you and within you. Although the divine design of the  time of learning is being recreated, the ceaseless pattern of
D:Day4.7 learning of childhood. Learning begins long before the onset of the  time of language that constitutes your ideas about what it means to
D:Day4.16 realize fairly quickly that my life challenged the world-view of the  time and that it is still challenging the world-view of your time.
D:Day4.16 of the time and that it is still challenging the world-view of your  time. Why might this be?
D:Day4.20 In the  time of learning, however, it was natural that my example life was
D:Day4.30 Thinking, in this  time beyond learning, could be rightly seen as a constraint you but
D:Day4.31 to abundance and all the treasure that will come with the end of the  time of learning. You, on the other hand, are thinking, yearning,
D:Day4.31 on such as these, you impose a function unnatural to this  time of Christ-consciousness upon this time. It is as if you ask to
D:Day4.31 a function unnatural to this time of Christ-consciousness upon this  time. It is as if you ask to see clearly and then hold your hands
D:Day4.34 temptations and the new. You realize that this is the purpose of our  time together here even though you have not put this purpose into
D:Day4.35 just a little more and reach heaven. You thus may think of this  time on the mountain as a time of getting in touch with your own
D:Day4.35 reach heaven. You thus may think of this time on the mountain as a  time of getting in touch with your own access to God, your own access
D:Day4.35 there you will find this access, this portal to all that lies beyond  time and space, to all that exists in the place of unity.
D:Day4.36 We talked earlier of this as a  time of fulfillment and desire. We acknowledged that your desire is
D:Day4.36 that your desire is stronger than ever before. Now is the  time to focus on this desire and fulfillment, to stretch this desire
D:Day4.41 temptations, the first real choice of Christ-consciousness, of the  time beyond learning.
D:Day4.49 of being fearless, you will know this, and you will pass through the  time of coming to acceptance again and again until you are ready. You
D:Day4.49 you are ready. You cannot fail but can only delay. For some the  time of delay has passed. For those who linger in the time of
D:Day4.49 For some the time of delay has passed. For those who linger in the  time of acceptance, there is reason for this as well.
D:Day4.51 is what you are here coming to know once again, which is why the  time of fear, and along with it the time of learning, can cease to be.
D:Day4.51 once again, which is why the time of fear, and along with it the  time of learning, can cease to be.
D:Day4.52 I have not so directly linked fear and the  time of learning before, but now you need to see their connection,
D:Day4.54 there is still anything that can hold you back. This is what the  time of acceptance was meant to show you! Nothing can hold you back
D:Day4.55 You are asked but to accept your own homecoming. To leave behind the  time of wandering, seeking, learning. To leave behind fear for the
D:Day4.56 it to. It does not come at the end but at the beginning of our  time together for a reason. This is simply because this choice is the
D:Day4.59 discussions still to be had. We are only at the beginning of our  time together.
D:Day5.6 What we have focused on for some  time now is love. Love never changes. It thus is the same for each of
D:Day5.19 Remember that union cannot be learned, for if it could be, the  time of learning would be perpetuated rather than ended.
D:Day6.1 will discuss being the true Self while becoming the true Self—the  time in between your awareness of and access to Christ-consciousness,
D:Day6.1 of becoming is to realize that an in-between exists between the  time of learning and the time of being the elevated Self of form.
D:Day6.1 that an in-between exists between the time of learning and the  time of being the elevated Self of form. This is what our time on
D:Day6.1 and the time of being the elevated Self of form. This is what our  time on this holy mountain is largely comprised of. We are in an
D:Day6.1 mountain is largely comprised of. We are in an in-between state of  time. We stand at the intersection point of the finite and the
D:Day6.2 While you know this is the focus of our  time together, few, if any of you, feel as if you have truly taken
D:Day6.3 of the difference you have chosen, we thus must address this  time so that any confusion it seems to be causing will not delay your
D:Day6.4 we will return to this example. We have spoken of becoming as the  time of movement, being, and expression coming together. We have
D:Day6.6 art? I choose this particular example to address this particular  time of being in-between. Let us consider the creation of a piece of
D:Day6.7 At one  time the creation of a piece of music is only an idea in the mind and
D:Day6.7 Some collaboration might take place to get it just right. By the  time the artist has completed the piece of music she began, it may
D:Day6.8 may come because the artist knows it is “good enough” to deserve the  time and attention, or the commitment may come as a recognition that
D:Day6.17 elevation can be postponed, put off, or can wait for some convenient  time. Quite the contrary. We are having our dialogue on the holy
D:Day6.20 They were temptations of the world, of the normal, daily life of my  time. They were attempts to distract me from my purpose, to change my
D:Day6.24 a teacher and become a companion. Would you desire to prolong your  time as an apprentice by being removed from the performance of your
D:Day6.30 here is that you do not. What you are going to realize from this  time of seeming difficulty is an end to difficulty and the growth of
D:Day6.30 who you are in any situation in which you find yourself. There is no  time to wait while you learn, or think you learn, the qualities that
D:Day6.32 it was replaced by acceptance. The conditions, however, of this  time of acceptance are not the conditions of the time of learning,
D:Day6.32 however, of this time of acceptance are not the conditions of the  time of learning, and so you will soon see that the difficulty of the
D:Day6.32 of learning, and so you will soon see that the difficulty of the  time of learning truly is behind you.
D:Day6.33 Let us speak now of the conditions of the  time of acceptance, for these will cheer you.
D:Day7.2 Denial of yourself was the precondition that set the stage for the  time of learning. The time of learning would not have been needed had
D:Day7.2 the precondition that set the stage for the time of learning. The  time of learning would not have been needed had you not denied your
D:Day7.3 Acceptance of your Self is the precondition for the  time of acceptance. You are no longer denying your Self. You are no
D:Day7.4 Life is now supported. Support is thus a condition of the  time of acceptance.
D:Day7.5 were supported, the idea of learning that you accepted during the  time of learning was not one of support but one of effort. You must
D:Day7.6 from fear will have a major transformative effect on form in this  time of acceptance. Regeneration is a condition of the time of
D:Day7.6 form in this time of acceptance. Regeneration is a condition of the  time of acceptance.
D:Day7.7 Another condition of the  time of acceptance that will be of great service to you now is that
D:Day7.7 now is that of the different relationship that you will have with  time. This is a time of convergence, intersection, and pass-through
D:Day7.7 the different relationship that you will have with time. This is a  time of convergence, intersection, and pass-through of the finite and
D:Day7.7 intersection, and pass-through of the finite and the infinite, of  time and no time. Time has not yet ceased to be, but as you are in a
D:Day7.7 and pass-through of the finite and the infinite, of time and no  time. Time has not yet ceased to be, but as you are in a state of
D:Day7.7 pass-through of the finite and the infinite, of time and no time.  Time has not yet ceased to be, but as you are in a state of
D:Day7.7 without. As you let go of time’s hold on you, it will let go of you.  Time will seem to expand but will actually be contracting into
D:Day7.7 seem to expand but will actually be contracting into nothingness.  Time is replaced by presence, by your ability to exist in the here
D:Day7.8 Again let me remind you that you are in an in-between  time. Thus these conditions I have spoken of and those I have yet to
D:Day7.9 of fear that led the body to exhibit the conditions of fear in the  time of learning. Thus it is the mind’s acceptance of love that will
D:Day7.9 love that will lead the body to exhibit the effects of love in the  time of acceptance.
D:Day7.10 A further condition of the  time of acceptance is that of expansion. The singular self you once
D:Day7.11 Conditions of the  time of acceptance are conditions of creation and include those we
D:Day7.15 Access to unity is a phrase that will only be used in this in-between  time. You have always existed in unity and once this is fully
D:Day7.16 you and sustained within Christ-consciousness, the conditions of the  time of acceptance, like the conditions of the time of learning, will
D:Day7.16 the conditions of the time of acceptance, like the conditions of the  time of learning, will pass. There are no conditions in the state of
D:Day7.17 There will be, however, a new stage following the  time of acceptance in which the elevated Self of form will be created
D:Day7.18 about now is the present. It is here, in this present and given  time on the mountain that you must realize that the conditions of the
D:Day7.18 on the mountain that you must realize that the conditions of the  time of acceptance, like the conditions of the time of learning,
D:Day7.18 the conditions of the time of acceptance, like the conditions of the  time of learning, arise from within. Life has always existed within
D:Day7.18 from within. Life has always existed within the conditions of the  time of acceptance. The conditions of the time of learning were but
D:Day7.18 the conditions of the time of acceptance. The conditions of the  time of learning were but imposed conditions that also arose from
D:Day7.19 The conditions of the  time of acceptance that we have spoken of are thus not new
D:Day7.19 learning and the imposition, from within, of the conditions of the  time of learning.
D:Day7.20 The condition of the  time of acceptance that will most clearly reveal to you your status
D:Day8.1 of removing yourself from normal life. Even the conditions of the  time of acceptance may not have cheered you fully. Now, with the
D:Day8.1 have cheered you fully. Now, with the ideas of the conditions of the  time of acceptance fresh in your minds and hearts, let’s return to
D:Day8.8 now. There will be many things within your life that will take some  time to change, but many others that can change instantly through
D:Day8.17 there has been a reason for this discussion coming so late in our  time together. To accept the feelings of the self of illusion would
D:Day8.20 for yourself, thus the only “standard” that is consistent with the  time of acceptance is that of acceptance.
D:Day8.21 the misdirection of the past if you accept your feelings in present  time and begin to be aware of your natural ability to respond truly
D:Day8.21 to respond truly because you have accepted your feelings in present  time. This is a recognition that by being in the present you know
D:Day8.26 have experienced will not last because you will not be choosing the  time of acceptance.
D:Day8.27 I have called this  time both the time of unity and the time of acceptance because you
D:Day8.27 I have called this time both the  time of unity and the time of acceptance because you cannot only
D:Day8.27 I have called this time both the time of unity and the  time of acceptance because you cannot only focus on unity when you
D:Day8.27 It is the bypassing of this “how to” function—a function of the  time of learning—that we are heading toward.
D:Day8.29 not the new. This is thinking comprised of the time-delay of the  time of learning—of a time when you used your feelings, opinions,
D:Day8.29 thinking comprised of the time-delay of the time of learning—of a  time when you used your feelings, opinions, and judgments
D:Day9.5 This confidence is what must precede true certainty in this  time of elevation of the self of form. The certainty that arises from
D:Day9.12 your ideal image, no matter how it was formed, is a product of the  time of learning. It became an image in your mind, and maybe even
D:Day9.13 This ideal image is intimately related with the  time of learning in another way as well. It is the epitome of
D:Day9.15 As with most goals of the  time of learning, it was an ego-centered goal, a carrot of
D:Day9.16 to the learning that would return you to your true identity. But the  time for such tools is over.
D:Day9.22 of their difference, to the world, but hold it in waiting for such a  time as the ideal is reached.
D:Day9.33 your acceptance of yourself as you are, the real challenge of this  time, begins to grow and to build your confidence. Unity and your
D:Day10.5 Realize that in the  time of learning, you felt a need for your doubt just as you felt a
D:Day10.12 form and while it was the perfect vehicle for learning in the  time of learning, it is now being transformed into the perfect
D:Day10.12 work with what has been in a new way, and as you all know from the  time of learning, it is often more difficult to become adept in doing
D:Day10.21 I have spoken with you throughout this  time as the man Jesus so that you realize that man and
D:Day10.21 be joined. That you, as man or woman, existing in this particular  time and space, can join with Christ-consciousness. You can be
D:Day10.22 have been told since the beginning of this Course that this is the  time of the second coming of Christ. What we have just discussed is
D:Day10.25 discussion of unity and relationship, let me spend my final  time with you as the man Jesus talking more of feelings.
D:Day10.32 When speaking of the many issues facing your world in this  time, we are speaking of situations that would seem to be extreme and
D:Day10.35 Although I need no awareness of the issues facing your  time in order to speak to you of such things, I am aware of them. So
D:Day10.35 relationship. What I have often referred to as the urgency of this  time has been partially because of these issues and partially because
D:Day10.35 power have been sought. This is what has occurred. This is the  time at which we stand.
D:Day13.1 The many selves who have come and gone since the beginning of  time now know themselves as the many and the one, the individual and
D:Day14.1 All  time is included in the spacious Self. Acceptance is necessary
D:Day14.13 voice of the many will continue to point the way for only a short  time longer. Thus the voice of the many must be heard as the voice of
D:Day15.7 and making spirit known through form is the difference for which the  time has come. The observation you have practiced has prepared you to
D:Day15.8 of form with spirit is an ongoing aspect of creation. It is thus not  time bound. It did not take place at the birth of creation and then
D:Day15.10 form have practiced and that has never been practiced by many at one  time. It is a major shift because it is not neutral but creative. It
D:Day15.11 of Christ-consciousness. This is an acceptable state for this  time of limited practice with those with whom you are engaged in this
D:Day15.14 dispels the darkness. This is what we are here for. There is no  time to waste and no protracted length of time will be required if
D:Day15.14 are here for. There is no time to waste and no protracted length of  time will be required if your willingness is true.
D:Day15.16 of the One Self with the “one group self.” This is not a  time of being judged or of adopting the beliefs of others but one of
D:Day15.22 slip into observable states of being. There is a purpose for this  time in which both informing and observing, being informed and being
D:Day15.23 yesterday was as nothing to what you know today, while at the same  time, aiding in the realization that what you come to know has always
D:Day15.24 you have not been asked to remove yourself from life during this  time on the mountain, you have been asked to be here and to join with
D:Day15.24 to be here and to join with others here for a purpose. As such, this  time is also a beginning to the practice of realizing and being able
D:Day15.27 You may, thus, find that there is a  time of walking alone approaching, or a time of gathering with many.
D:Day15.27 thus, find that there is a time of walking alone approaching, or a  time of gathering with many. You will realize that you have felt
D:Day15.27 with many. You will realize that you have felt cocooned by the  time on the mountain and by those who have joined you, and that you
D:Day16.9 you must become fully aware of the present. The present is the  time of no time, wholeness, where all that is real and all that was
D:Day16.9 become fully aware of the present. The present is the time of no  time, wholeness, where all that is real and all that was ever real
D:Day16.11 is 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
D:Day17.3 repeating what has been said before? Because we have reached the  time, once again, for you to claim your identity. Although being who
D:Day17.11 Christ-consciousness is your will to know, to be, and to express. The  time of Christ, and the second coming of Christ, are expressions
D:Day17.12 demonstrated has now been realized, which is why this is called the  time of Christ. The “time” of Christ, whom so many associate with
D:Day17.12 could be taught and learned has been taught and learned. Now it is  time to move beyond what could be taught and learned to what can only
D:Day17.12 to what can only be realized through relationship. Now is the  time of the final revelation of what can be realized, or made real,
D:Day17.13 of the way of Jesus is the stage of interaction with the world, the  time of miracles, the death of the old way and the birth of the new.
D:Day18.2 they return wholeness and will bring about the completion of the  time of Christ. This symbiotic working together will be essential for
D:Day18.3 As has been said, the  time of teaching and learning is over. If the way of Jesus was a way
D:Day18.6 it the claim of all that is temporary. This is why we have spent  time on the idea of sickness and other unwanted states as temporary
D:Day19.8 with God. This is quite literally the function of all in this new  time. When we speak of functions unique to each, we speak of
D:Day19.11 and such ideas as acclaim and obscurity will be no more. But at this  time of transition, both ways are needed to demonstrate the means of
D:Day19.17 of the new to be cast and thus to ride out the many storms of this  time of transition.
D:Day21.10 Realize that this is the aim of our final  time together. Concentrate on making the first transition and on the
D:Day21.10 the reversal of thought that it requires. Thus will you carry this  time forward with you into creation of the new.
D:Day22.1 channeling. Yesterday we spoke of teachers being channels during the  time of learning. It was also noted that you realize that all of life
D:Day22.8 blowing wind. It is there in each and every human being. It is now  time to quit acting as if it is not. It is time to be a channel for
D:Day22.8 human being. It is now time to quit acting as if it is not. It is  time to be a channel for the awareness that exists in every tree and

D:Day23.4 The clouds of illusion, even those that have gently surrounded our  time together on the mountain top must now be surrendered, much as a

D:Day28.1 At one  time there seemed to be little or no choice between staying engaged
D:Day28.4 As the  time of schooling is left behind, the next stage of movement begins,
D:Day28.17 you have made, on the externalization of what is within. At the same  time however, what is within has been based upon what was previously

D:Day28.18 this first change, this first transformation, must take place in  time.
D:Day28.19 we have been working on by changing your experience of  time to one of experiencing two levels of “time.” Our “time” on the

D:Day33.15 that you are in relationship with everything and everyone all of the  time, is to realize the full extent of your power. You cannot realize
D:Day33.15 that you are in relationship with everything and everyone all of the  time and retain the desire to use your power. This is impossible. The
D:Day33.15 that you are in relationship with everything and everyone all of the  time is the realization of oneness and unity, the realization that

D:Day35.16 has led to awareness of union and relationship while at the same  time union and relationship has led to this desire. Creation itself,

D:Day37.23 of Jesus Christ himself, is not all of God, while at the same  time it is all of God just as Jesus was and is all of God. In union
D:Day37.25 Jesus was all of God and God was all of Jesus while at the same  time each was different or individuated by being in union and

time of acceptance (23)

D:Day4.49 For some the time of delay has passed. For those who linger in the  time of acceptance, there is reason for this as well.
D:Day4.54 there is still anything that can hold you back. This is what the  time of acceptance was meant to show you! Nothing can hold you back
D:Day6.32 it was replaced by acceptance. The conditions, however, of this  time of acceptance are not the conditions of the time of learning,
D:Day6.33 Let us speak now of the conditions of the  time of acceptance, for these will cheer you.
D:Day7.3 Acceptance of your Self is the precondition for the  time of acceptance. You are no longer denying your Self. You are no
D:Day7.4 Life is now supported. Support is thus a condition of the  time of acceptance.

D:Day7.7 Another condition of the  time of acceptance that will be of great service to you now is that
D:Day7.9 love that will lead the body to exhibit the effects of love in the  time of acceptance.
D:Day7.10 A further condition of the  time of acceptance is that of expansion. The singular self you once

D:Day7.18 on the mountain that you must realize that the conditions of the  time of acceptance, like the conditions of the time of learning,

D:Day6.6 art? I choose this particular example to address this particular  time of being in-between. Let us consider the creation of a piece of

T3:21.21 While this has been called the  time of Christ, it is obviously no longer the time of Jesus Christ.
T4:1.17 stated as the difference between the time of the Holy Spirit and the  time of Christ. This has also been restated as the difference between
T4:1.24 experience. Many not yet grown to maturity have been born into the  time of Christ, and do not fit within the time or the consciousness

D:Day18.2 they return wholeness and will bring about the completion of the  time of Christ. This symbiotic working together will be essential for
D:Day39.7 between the separate and each other, between all and God. Yet if the  time of Christ is about the end of the need for the intermediary,

T4:9.9 sisters in this next phase of the journey, the journey out of the  time of learning that will usher in the fullness of time.
T4:10.13 As I said earlier, some will not be willing to move out of the  time of learning. Those who have learned what this Course would teach
T4:12.8 state. All conditions that were intermediary in nature during the  time of learning, are, during the time of sharing, naturally
T4:12.10 All you must remember now is that the  time of learning is past. While you are still encountering concerns
T4:12.12 was over and that it was time to move on to the next. During the  time of learning, this statement was consistent with learned wisdom.
T4:12.28 The individual or singular consciousness that was appropriate to the  time of learning does not continue. Thus the new pattern is one of
D:2.5 To continue to feel a need to learn rather than realizing that the  time of learning has come to an end, would be to not realize
D:3.7 declassify all the various aspects of life that were needed in the  time of learning. This is why we began quite truthfully and simply
D:4.2 same, you also are not different. The differences you saw during the  time of learning, differences that made you feel as if each being

D:4.18 this has taken so long or on the suffering that occurred during the  time of learning. This would be like dwelling on the inmate’s life as

D:6.25 The body was, in the  time of learning, representative of a learning being. The ego,

D:8.3 in you that you have experienced something that existed prior to the  time of learning. And that this something was quite wonderful.
D:8.4 You might think of this ability that existed prior to the  time of learning as coming from the content of the wider circle of
D:9.12 the natural abilities you discovered existed within you prior to the  time of learning, ideas are also discoveries that you make,
D:10.2 Learning is about the transfer of knowledge that was gained in the  time of learning, through the process of learning. Notice the
D:10.7 of your true way of knowing, a way that existed prior to the  time of learning and that has always existed. When put into practice
D:14.10 paves the way much as each step of learning that was needed in the  time of learning paved the way for the next and then the next. But
D:15.1 principles are like unto the patterns that were created for your  time of learning and that will be applied anew to the creation of new
D:15.21 conditions of learning. Why? Because they are no longer needed. The  time of learning has ended. When this time of becoming has ended, the

D:Day3.12 all ideas of lack, an idea you so thoroughly learned during the  time of learning that letting it go, even now, still torments you
D:Day3.13 This is the basic fallacy that the  time of learning supported. The idea of “if this, then that.” The

D:Day4.51 once again, which is why the time of fear, and along with it the  time of learning, can cease to be.
D:Day4.52 I have not so directly linked fear and the  time of learning before, but now you need to see their connection,
D:Day5.19 Remember that union cannot be learned, for if it could be, the  time of learning would be perpetuated rather than ended.

D:Day7.18 the conditions of the time of acceptance, like the conditions of the  time of learning, arise from within. Life has always existed within
D:Day7.18 the conditions of the time of acceptance. The conditions of the  time of learning were but imposed conditions that also arose from
D:Day7.19 learning and the imposition, from within, of the conditions of the  time of learning.
D:Day8.27 It is the bypassing of this “how to” function—a function of the  time of learning—that we are heading toward.
D:Day8.29 not the new. This is thinking comprised of the time-delay of the  time of learning—of a time when you used your feelings, opinions,
D:Day9.12 your ideal image, no matter how it was formed, is a product of the  time of learning. It became an image in your mind, and maybe even
D:Day9.13 This ideal image is intimately related with the  time of learning in another way as well. It is the epitome of

T3:12.4 is thus: by changing the consciousness of the personal self from a  time-bound state of consciousness to an eternal state of

T3:14.12 and so can your mind and heart—if they are allowed to do so. A  time-bound consciousness that hangs onto the past as if it were the

D:Day1.29 brought to completion and wholeness in you and in me, so that  together we bring about the second coming of Christ and the elevation
D:Day2.3 Your life is being seen more as a whole now. The parts are fitting  together. You can see how you have moved from seeming purposelessness
D:Day2.4 envisioned. This is the moment of fulfillment and desire coming  together, the time in which to realize “it was all worth it.”
D:Day2.17 This idea would hardly be a joyful idea with which to begin our work  together.

D:Day4.56 it to. It does not come at the end but at the beginning of our time  together for a reason. This is simply because this choice is the
D:Day4.59 still to be had. We are only at the beginning of our time  together.
D:Day6.2 While you know this is the focus of our time  together, few, if any of you, feel as if you have truly taken leave
D:Day6.4 of becoming as the time of movement, being, and expression coming  together. We have further spoken of your point of access to unity as
D:Day6.27 As your belief grows in our ability to accomplish  together our given task, you are almost surely feeling this devotion
D:Day6.28 where it belongs—here—in the passionate acceptance of our work  together. And so the lack of desire you are experiencing for other
D:Day6.30 this. This is the point of movement, being, and expression coming  together. The point of convergence, intersection, and pass-through.
D:Day8.17 has been a reason for this discussion coming so late in our time  together. To accept the feelings of the self of illusion would have
D:Day9.1 from lack, freedom from repression, are what we will now enjoy  together on our mountain top retreat. We have not removed ourselves
D:Day9.5 from this confidence in the self of form and they must be realized  together for the elevation of the self of form to take place. What
D:Day9.20 ideal state, we will not succeed in the work we are doing here  together. For if you believe this, you will not accept your Self as
D:Day10.2 and the Self of union and to, through this reliance, tie the two  together so that there is no seam, no boundary, no remaining
D:Day10.22 This is the culmination point of these two great objectives coming  together in you and your brothers and sisters.
D:Day15.2 in order for you to come to know it. The unknown and the known exist  together in everything and everyone. Thus your willingness to be made
D:Day15.12 it mean to practice informing and being informed? It means to join  together with others who have the ability to maintain
D:Day15.12 Christ-consciousness in your company. This creates the joining  together of spacious Selves. It is a joining without boundaries. You
D:Day15.19 You thus are not to come  together as the known but as the unknown. You dialogue about the
D:Day15.20 current of the energy, or clear pools of the spacious selves, coming  together. This current washes some stones clean and washes others
D:Day18.2 from her child. The ways are rather complementary and symbiotic.  Together they return wholeness and will bring about the completion of
D:Day18.2 about the completion of the time of Christ. This symbiotic working  together will be essential for the birth of the new and in truth
D:Day19.8 to each, we speak of expressions of this one ultimate function.  Together, the way of Mary and the way of Jesus demonstrate the truth
D:Day21.10 Realize that this is the aim of our final time  together. Concentrate on making the first transition and on the
D:Day23.4 clouds of illusion, even those that have gently surrounded our time  together on the mountain top must now be surrendered, much as a woman
D:Day27.2 on two levels. This has been a goal of the time we have spent  together in this way.
D:Day27.5 level ground because you have practiced during our mountain top time  together the ability to experience on two levels.
D:Day27.14 as one. We practice experiencing the constant and the variable  together. We practice in order to move toward an experience of
D:Day28.24 all the pieces of all that we have talked about will begin to fit  together. A whole will form within your mind much as if you have been
D:Day28.26 not removed yourself. Now you must begin to weave these two threads  together into the tapestry of your new life. This weaving will take
D:Day30.1 representation of the whole. Just as simple fractions can be added  together to achieve wholeness once a common denominator is found,
D:Day30.4 thus the commonly known injunction of “where two or more are joined  together.” If you would think of this in terms of “God” or the state
D:Day31.8 separately from the Self. Self and God are one and experiencing  together in wholeness. For the individuated Self to experience
D:Day32.18 experience you have achieved during the days and nights of our time  together, be attempts to show you how you can be more like unto God
D:Day33.6 becoming one in being—is the aim toward which we have journeyed  together.
D:Day34.8 Thus we continue to draw to the close of our time  together by asking each other to experience our power—the power of
