C:11.18 | where love is welcomed to take its place becomes a celebration. Your | table becomes an altar to the Lord and grace is upon it and the Lord |
C:19.17 | single form, a single entity. There is either one chair or two. One | table or four. Your emphasis has been on quantity, and one is seen as |
C:26.24 | and another a blessing in disguise? You seek to know your story’s | table of contents, or at least a brief outline. Where does your life |
tainted (1) |

C:9.3 | yourself, and the love that you imagine you receive and give—is | tainted by your fear and cannot be real love. It is because you |
take (180) |

C:P.1 | a course in miracles. It is a required course. The time for you to | take it is now. You are ready and miracles are needed. |
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.42 | not vanquished the ego. You learn and then you let the ego come and | take all you have learned from you again and still again. It is |
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:18.8 | An external world is but a projection that cannot | take you away from the internal world where you exist in wholeness, a |
C:20.43 | them is far grander than anything you would before have wished to | take from them. |
C:21.7 | wholeheartedness. The path of neither mind nor heart alone will | take you where the path of unity will take you, and the journey will |
C:21.7 | mind nor heart alone will take you where the path of unity will | take you, and the journey will not be the same. |
C:23.26 | you have so long sought, you will indeed feel tested and will try to | take control of the learning situation. Not taking control, however, |
C:25.18 | to happen will happen. While you may expect that everything will | take on greater importance, the reverse will at first be true. You |
C:25.20 | You may also notice a growth in your desire to | take credit for what you have created, and a desire to create anew. |
C:25.20 | reassert the self. This need will arise as you realize that you can | take no credit for your life. Wanting to take credit is of the ego, |
C:25.20 | as you realize that you can take no credit for your life. Wanting to | take credit is of the ego, and at this stage the desire to create may |
C:25.21 | attempt to make conscious decisions the quicker your unlearning will | take place and the lessons of discernment occur. Discernment is |
C:26.11 | for signs? Read books that have promised you a series of steps to | take to get where you want to go, only to realize you know not where |
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 |
C:29.26 | future if not for your fear of where the direction you choose might | take you? What peace might you know if you realized, truly realized, |
C:30.3 | Your learning must | take on a new focus. Be like the little children, and inhale the |
C:30.14 | the laws of God. It is only in your perception that the laws of man | take precedence over the laws of God. Since perception arises from |
C:31.6 | You know that if you had to consciously cause these functions to | take place, you would surely die, for managing the workings of the |
T1:1.9 | the ego-mind had to be circumvented in order for true learning to | take place. This is what A Course of Love accomplished. This learning |
T1:3.9 | scientific discovery or the natural course an illness was bound to | take? What miracle could be seen as only miracle and not leave doubt |
T1:6.2 | How is this revelation to | take place? It will begin by learning the art of thought as the act |
T1:7.1 | inability to be who you truly are, a being existing in union. | Take away all, for the moment, that you would strive to be, and the |
T1:7.1 | felt certain that a particular achievement would complete you and | take away your feelings of lack. Even the most successful among you |
T1:8.3 | of the truth of an historical event changes over time and it may | take a hundred or a thousand or even two thousand years for the real |
T1:8.9 | self! There is no longer a god-head to follow into paradise. | Take not the example of any of these and know instead the example of |
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 |
T2:8.6 | adventures but never again to the special relationships that would | take you away from your true Self. Never again will you be away from |
T2:9.8 | have as the already accomplished. All that you would give will | take nothing away from you. |
T2:9.17 | be held. It is only through the inhaling and exhaling, the give and | take of breathing that you live. Each time you are tempted to think |
T2:10.1 | living Course. This is why you are called to live it rather than to | take it. This is why you are called to be a teacher and a learner |
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. |
T3:13.5 | and then that you must protect what you have against those who would | take it away. |
T3:14.1 | will still exist within your mind and heart, as nothing can now | take this memory from you, but to experience the new thought system |
T3:14.5 | than you would imagine. You fear where all your new ideas might | take you, and for some great changes may surely await, but those who |
T3:14.6 | love. You who are worried about the risks you may be required to | take, worry not! The changes that come to you will be chosen changes. |
T3:14.12 | onto the past as if it were the truth, allows not correction to | take place. The past is no more and neither the present nor the |
T3:15.9 | that, like all others that you have offered or attempted, will | take place in relationship. The difference is that this new beginning |
T3:15.9 | in relationship. The difference is that this new beginning will | take place in holy, rather than special, relationship. |
T3:16.17 | Accept one “part” or tenet of the truth and see the reverse | take place. See how quickly the thought system of the truth builds |
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 |
T4:3.3 | to your original purpose. The vision of Christ-consciousness will | take you beyond it. |
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 |
T4:7.4 | they can envision, imagine and desire without judgment. It will not | take the effort of their bodies, but the freedom of a consciousness |
T4:8.12 | To | take away your freedom in order to protect you, even from yourself, |
T4:8.12 | you, even from yourself, would not have been an act of love. To | take away your freedom would be to take away God’s own freedom, the |
T4:8.12 | not have been an act of love. To take away your freedom would be to | take away God’s own freedom, the freedom of creation. Your rebellion |
T4:12.6 | Take delight in these surprises. Laugh and be joyous. You no longer | |
T4:12.18 | of the past but without the struggle. Let not the idea of struggle | take hold in the new. Let not the idea of fear take hold in the new. |
T4:12.18 | the idea of struggle take hold in the new. Let not the idea of fear | take hold in the new. Let not the idea of judgment take hold in the |
T4:12.18 | the idea of fear take hold in the new. Let not the idea of judgment | take hold in the new. Announce far and wide freedom from the old |
T4:12.20 | engrained into your singular consciousness, to let doubt of yourself | take hold of you. Even though you are abiding now in the state of |
D:1.5 | to be prepared, for you are already accomplished. What will it now | take for your mind to accept this truth? For the mind’s acceptance of |
D:2.1 | that willingness was all that was necessary for you to be able to | take this Course into your heart and let it return you to your true |
D:4.14 | inspired system of thought. In such a way of thinking, one would | take the internal thought pattern, enhance it with the external |
D:5.8 | does not become some “thing,” for in the becoming it would need to | take on the properties of the truth. Think of the ego again as an |
D:5.10 | While you have learned to | take judgment from your seeing, this must be reemphasized now as you |
D:6.10 | What these laws of science do not | take into account are the laws of God. Although science is beginning |
D:6.18 | You have been taught that if you | take care of the body in certain ways, then good health will result. |
D:6.21 | And yet, what ridding your mind of ideas of placing blame does, is | take it one step away from the thinking of the “if this, then that” |
D:7.4 | Experiences of form | take place in time because experience, too, was designed for |
D:7.13 | This discovery can only | take place in the reality of love. |
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 |
D:8.2 | ability to do. These things some of you have practiced or studied to | take advantage of your natural ability and in doing so may have found |
D:8.12 | aspect of your Self is the doorway. Step through that doorway. | Take the first step outside of the known reality of your conscious |
D:8.13 | have taken that step and yet remain unchanged. When you choose to | take this step it is taken. What you will become aware of on the |
D:11.1 | you to do, you order your thoughts to communicate effectively, you | take note of your thoughts and you take notes on the thoughts of |
D:11.1 | to communicate effectively, you take note of your thoughts and you | take notes on the thoughts of others. |
D:11.13 | nature of who you are if you but let this idea dwell within you and | take up residence in your heart. We are the sacred heart. As was said |
D:12.4 | the same language, you truly began to enter the place of unity, to | take the step outside of the dot of the body. |
D:12.5 | into the realm of unity, and you may rightly wonder now, if you can | take such a step and be unaware of it, what its value to you is. |
D:13.4 | of a divine “ray” of light descending and granting enlightenment. | Take another look at your Bible for many stories such as these, and |
D:15.18 | that you already have something of value, and that you wish to | take care of it so that it will continue to be of service to you. |
D:Day1.24 | of paradise and of your true Self and true home, in a form that will | take you beyond time to eternity. |
D:Day2.23 | was that of a symbolic gesture. It, too, was a choice. A choice to | take all that suffering upon myself and kill it. To say, here is what |
D:Day2.23 | and kill it. To say, here is what we will do with suffering. We will | take it away once and for all. We will crucify it upon the cross of |
D:Day3.30 | while at the same time dreading the disease that may at any point | take it from you, those of you who have money see it in the same way. |
D:Day3.49 | how what you might do might affect the response of God. You | take this step without realizing that you are still acting in accord |
D:Day4.38 | replaced by love. If you fear to go where the portal of access will | take you, you will not go. Thus your desire needs to be greater than |
D:Day6.7 | or only late in its development. But at some point, the sharing will | take place, and the reactions of those with whom the music is shared |
D:Day6.7 | Finishing touches will be put on the piece. Some collaboration might | take place to get it just right. By the time the artist has completed |
D:Day6.11 | being who you are right now and eliciting the expression that will | take you to the final stage of being who you will be in oneness. |
D:Day6.14 | Let’s begin with the seeming difficulty. It may | take on many forms, but its main source is almost surely a desire to |
D:Day8.8 | you are now. There will be many things within your life that will | take some time to change, but many others that can change instantly |
D:Day8.13 | will be intolerant only of illusion and that this intolerance will | take the form of seeing only the truth rather than attempting to |
D:Day9.5 | must be realized together for the elevation of the self of form to | take place. What good will be the certainty of unity if the self of |
D:Day9.6 | the freedom of what your mind would think or heart would feel. But | take away the ability to express what the mind would think or heart |
D:Day10.29 | Do they not dislike poverty? Are they not called upon at times to | take unpopular stands against popular leaders? Do not even your ideas |
D:Day15.8 | an ongoing aspect of creation. It is thus not time bound. It did not | take place at the birth of creation and then cease to be. It did not |
D:Day15.8 | take place at the birth of creation and then cease to be. It did not | take place at the birth of the body and then cease to be. It is not |
D:Day22.5 | There is also, however, the idea of a channel as a passage to | take into consideration. This we have spoken of previously as your |
D:Day24.2 | smallest particle of existence. Wholeness exists in you. Nothing can | take wholeness from you. It is as natural to you as it is to all of |
D:Day28.8 | is a choice so different and a means so revolutionary that it will | take some getting used to. This change is predicated on all the |
D:Day28.13 | in many ways and at many times. Therefore, you think that you must | take what life has to “give.” This is most likely the attitude of |
D:Day28.14 | with ideas of success or failure. Therefore, you think that you must | take what God has to “give.” |
D:Day28.18 | This change, this transformation, can only | take place within time because only within time is the experience of |
D:Day28.18 | the power of transformation lies. This transformation will, however, | take you beyond time, because once experience is moved out of the |
D:Day28.18 | evolution. Only this first change, this first transformation, must | take place in time. |
D:Day28.26 | together into the tapestry of your new life. This weaving will | take place as you continue to intertwine the two experiences that you |
D:Day35.8 | These are ideas that | take the way in which you once related to life and shift it entirely. |
D:Day35.9 | are neither learned nor accomplished. They simply are. They thus | take no time to learn and require no steps to accomplishment. They |
D:Day35.14 | exists for conditions other than love to exist. It should not | take much consideration to know that to create from anything but love |
D:Day39.43 | shape of your skull. Realize that I love your hands and that as you | take another’s hand, you hold my own, and that I am with you as well |
D:Day40.28 | you are in relationship with you create. You give attributes and you | take on attributes. You individuate your being in union and |
E.21 | This difference, if you will allow it to come, will | take away all worry, all thought about how you could be better, more, |
E.23 | if you are not vigilant of your thought processes. This will not | take long, however, to overcome, for once you have begun to realize |
A.5 | perception of this Course’s difficulty. Thus it is said to you to | take this Course with as little attachment to your old means of |
A.14 | to extend who you are. True giving and receiving as one begins to | take place. You have entered Holy Relationship. |

C:10.16 | all that is asked is that your body is seen as what it is—both in | terms of what you made it for and in terms of the way in which you |
C:10.16 | is seen as what it is—both in terms of what you made it for and in | terms of the way in which you can now be guided to use it for the |
C:10.17 | happiness. As you observe your body, also observe its actions in | terms of the choices it makes. Ask yourself, “What choice may have |

C:19.13 | It cannot be otherwise in your separated state. You must think in | terms of “I” and “them,” “death and life,” “good and evil.” This is |
C:22.5 | many layers. While such a piercing has no intrinsic value in | terms of purpose, it provides an image of a straight line passing |

T1:7.1 | accomplished. You have perceived this inability to be who you are in | terms of not being able to do as you would desire to do, live as you |
T1:8.5 | as I was but as I Am. Does this not make sense, even in your human | terms of evolution? You are the resurrected and the life. |
T1:9.9 | through my resurrection. This I tried to pass on in the simplest of | terms. I tried to make it known that while I would die and resurrect |
T1:9.12 | In the broadest of | terms, this is already happening. As the ego has become threatened |
T2:1.8 | 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 I have |
T2:1.8 | 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 as a |

T2:2.2 | Having a calling is spoken of in lofty | terms. Few outside of those who feel they have a calling for |
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 needs |
T2:9.19 | Ceasing to think in these | terms will soon be seen as a valuable ability and a timesaving |
T2:11.1 | you remain. This is the truth of who you are and even, in your own | terms, a fact of your existence. Earlier this was pointed out to you |

T3:2.1 | of the self alone. They are not expressions of the self alone in | terms you might consider autobiographical, and they are not |
T3:2.4 | but think you made, this discussion was necessary only in the same | terms that made it necessary to thoroughly discuss the ego’s thought |
T3:12.8 | the result of love. The choice to express who you are in physical | terms was not a choice made of fear but made of love. A physical self |
T3:13.13 | your own ideas about those beliefs that you own those beliefs in | terms of making them your beliefs. To believe without forming your |

T4:2.8 | this is not about evolution unless you wish to speak of evolution in | terms of awareness. You must realize that if you were to see into the |
T4:2.19 | as your Self. This holiness need only be observed. When you think in | terms of evangelizing or convincing, you think in terms of future |
T4:2.19 | When you think in terms of evangelizing or convincing, you think in | terms of future outcome rather than in terms of what already is. This |

D:1.3 | What this means in practical | terms is that you let the personal self step back and the true Self |
D:3.11 | In a way, this is true. Giving and receiving as one is senseless in | terms related to a shared consciousness. Giving and receiving as one |
D:4.10 | Let’s look at each of these | terms separately so that we see the nature of existence in the same |
D:6.22 | beginning and start with the body as a given. It is what it is in | terms of flesh and bone, and it is also the form that is now serving |
D:8.3 | learning. We concentrate on this idea merely as an idea and not in | terms of the specific ability it may represent. We concentrate on |
D:11.11 | explanation for everything, and an explanation that makes sense in | terms of the world you have always known. |
D:11.12 | giving and receiving of these words will never make sense within the | terms of the world you have always known. No explanation will ever be |

D:Day3.14 | To think in such | terms, and then to see such thoughts as even capable of having |
D:Day3.14 | when practiced, are capable of making a difference, especially in | terms of monetary abundance. This is one of those situations in which |

D:Day4.7 | in the terms you now associate almost exclusively with thinking, the | terms of having thoughts, or words, in your mind. |
D:Day4.31 | In practical | terms, you might think of this as a disengagement from the details. |
D:Day4.44 | longed for all your life. This unknown has been described to you in | terms both specific and obscure. It has been described as all you |
D:Day9.20 | stripped of usages such as these, and while some use of similar | terms, like our use of the term elevated, are still necessary, it is |
D:Day9.20 | necessary, it is only in your understanding that our use of these | terms is not a cause for predetermination that we can proceed. For if |

D:Day27.1 | Think now not of being apprehensive in | terms of being fearful of the rest of your life, but apprehensive in |

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 | 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:8.3 | represent. We concentrate on this idea as the first parameter of the | territory of your conscious awareness as you let awareness grow in |
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:5.14 | Within you is all the world safe, sure, and secure. No | terror reigns. No nightmares rule the night. Let me give you once |
C:5.30 | fear is fear of relationships and thus fear of God. You can accept | terror that reigns in another part of the world because you feel no |

C:6.21 | thoughts that has led you to a life of such unhappiness. Thoughts of | terror and of sin you will embrace, but thoughts of resurrection and |

C:1.9 | The urge to | test another’s wisdom is the urge to find your own way and have it be |
C:5.22 | that you cannot get there on your own. You thus have made of life a | test, believing that you can pass or fail through your own effort. |
C:5.24 | not found happiness in what you seek! You continue living life as a | test, driving yourself to follow one accomplishment with another, |
C:10.28 | fun of it, without allowing room for discouragement. This is not a | test and you cannot fail. You are merely playing. Play at observing |
C:25.14 | in terms of service. Those who claim invulnerability and use it as a | test of fate, or an excuse to challenge the mighty forces of humanity |
T1:3.11 | 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 more, not only would |
T1:3.11 | pass or fail. And what’s more, not only would your passing of this | test require you to contemplate your power, but your failure would |

C:9.1 | to deceive you. It seems as fickle as your mind, telling you one | thing one day and one thing the next. Even more so than your mind it |
C:9.1 | seems as fickle as your mind, telling you one thing one day and one | thing the next. Even more so than your mind it seems to lead you |
C:9.5 | the room in which you sit and take away the usefulness from each | thing you see in it. How many items would you keep that you now look |
C:9.27 | in meeting another’s need that makes the meeting of the need a | thing of lasting value. It is your willingness to say, “Brother, you |
C:9.30 | Think of your automobile or computer or any other | thing you use. Without a user, would it have any function at all? |
C:9.34 | fear that this, too, you would squander and lay to ruin. The only | thing that might succeed in proving your place as that of royal |
C:9.39 | this you know. But you know not what this valuable something is. One | thing alone is sure: When you have found it you will know that it has |
C:9.40 | You seek it here, you seek it there, and scurry on to the next | thing and the next. Each person runs this race alone, with hope only |
C:10.2 | not in physical form. Joining is not the obliteration of one | thing to make another—joining makes each one whole, and in this |
C:10.12 | you also want to be “right” about what you believe. The convenient | thing about your belief in God, in me, in heaven and in an afterlife |
C:10.13 | said about the concept of not being separate, however. The only | thing you find really difficult to believe is that you are in union |
C:10.13 | right now, today. To believe in God without understanding God is one | thing. To believe in your union with your neighbor without |
C:10.20 | itself despite its unhappiness and say, “I did the right | thing.” It will see itself as victor over the foolish dreams of |
C:11.8 | possible. You regard it as your one protection from God, the one | thing that allows you to be other than what God would have you be. It |
C:11.10 | At other times you think that this was but God’s curse on you, a | thing to tempt you to the life of desperation that you live. But your |
C:11.11 | not to God at all, for what you have chosen to use it for is the one | thing that it cannot provide—your separation from your Creator. He |
C:12.20 | aspect of life. Before the idea of the separation, there was no such | thing—and there still is no such thing except as an extension of |
C:12.20 | the separation, there was no such thing—and there still is no such | thing except as an extension of the original idea. Just as we |
C:13.2 | include others in your observation, I ask you to concentrate on one | thing only. This is a simple exercise, and enjoyable too. It but |
C:13.2 | simple exercise, and enjoyable too. It but calls for you to ask one | thing: Ask yourself what you already know of the spirit of the person |
C:13.10 | Yet time is not required, nor is money or the use of any other | thing you value. And there is not even the slightest chance of being |
C:14.24 | is what you have ascribed it to be. The purpose you give each | thing within your world is what makes it what it is to you. And as |
C:14.30 | your world love has no meaning unless it is attached to a particular | thing. And as soon as love is attached to a particular, love’s |
C:18.7 | it was created to fulfill. But when perception changes and a | thing is seen as what it is, then it cannot fail to accomplish what |
C:20.3 | eyes and the “I” of your ego. You are loosed of bounds, no longer a | thing of beauty, but beauty itself. |
C:20.17 | we seek to return you to. This realization that the world is not a | thing, as you are not a thing. Your identity is shared and one in |
C:20.17 | to. This realization that the world is not a thing, as you are not a | thing. Your identity is shared and one in Christ. A shared identity |
C:20.19 | with you? And is the you who shed such tears a personal being? A | thing? A mass of flesh and bone? Or are you, like the world you cry |
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 |
C:21.8 | the “right” thing to do but acting instead on what is the accepted | thing to do within his or her community. In such an instance the |
C:21.9 | The final | thing you must understand is that meaning does not change. While only |
C:22.2 | While we have previously discussed relationship as not being one | thing or the other but a third something, we have not as yet |
C:25.10 | grace, then all action will be in harmony. If you believe one living | thing is more important than any other, then all action will be out |
C:27.7 | between the human and the divine. Life is not a matter of one living | thing versus another, but of the relationship between all living |
C:27.19 | How often have you known the “right” | thing to do without knowing the details of what came before and what |
C:29.11 | as toil. There is much you need to do just to stay alive, and if a | thing is required, expected, necessary, your tendency is to rebel |
C:29.14 | time for work and time for leisure and seeing them not as the same | thing. Life is life. Life is. As love is. |
C:30.1 | How is being present different than being? Are they not the same | thing? Should they not be? And yet how seldom are you fully present |
C:30.4 | illustrates, there is nothing about time that can be kept. The only | thing real about time is its eternal nature. |
C:31.27 | This altar is not a | thing, but a devotion to the one truth, the whole truth. Being of one |
T1:4.27 | that awe is the providence of God and not due miracles or any other | thing or being. I bring up this point to assure you that this |
T2:1.3 | to say that the feelings that cause one to think that any physical | thing is capable of being a treasure or being treasured are of the |
T2:1.10 | “forms” are the product of the separation. Unity is not a place or a | thing but the realm of the one heart and one mind; the realm of the |
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 |
T2:12.9 | As we spoke within A Course of Love of relationship being not one | thing or another but a third something, this is what we speak of here |
T3:2.11 | Self and God. Give up your desire to think that if you did such a | thing there was a reason for you to have done so. How many times have |
T3:7.5 | The only | thing within the human experience that made you incapable of |
T3:7.5 | incapable of representing who you are in truth was the ego. The only | thing within the human experience that deprived the human experience |
T3:10.3 | The first | thing I ask you to forget is your need to find a place where blame |
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 |
D:Day3.29 | You think abundance is the most difficult | thing to demonstrate, when it is actually the easiest. You think you |
D:Day4.50 | which you arrive at acceptance, nor to focus on acceptance of one | thing over another. You are not to label good or bad. Just to accept. |
D:Day5.18 | Realize here that while you want to know the specifics of how this | thing called access to unity will work, you are also impatient with |
D:Day8.11 | This acceptance is the only | thing that will truly prevent judgment, for it does not require you |
D:Day8.19 | that were spoken of earlier. This temptation stems from one | thing only—from not living in the present. Distancing, or |
D:Day10.7 | never had any proof that following your intuition was the correct | thing to do but still felt as if it was. Or you may have doubted your |
D:Day10.31 | powerless but because you do not know your power. If there is one | thing associated with my life more so than any other, it was this. I |
D:Day10.33 | and go where they lead. And everywhere they lead you, remember one | thing only. Remember to embrace your power. The power of love is the |
D:Day10.35 | to you of such things, I am aware of them. So is every other living | thing because all that lives exists in relationship. What I have |
D:Day12.5 | this endless space as an expression of love is the simplest | thing imaginable. All you must do is listen to your Self. Your Self |
D:Day18.7 | of duality or the truth of union, you are demonstrating the same | thing. The way in which you do this must be chosen, and for this |
D:Day20.7 | Why you can know yourself and constantly be coming to know. The only | thing there is to know is the One Self in its many expressions. You |
D:Day21.1 | you may still have that an outside source exists. There is no such | thing as an outside source. There are no outside sources of wisdom, |
D:Day38.9 | become faulty ideas in separation. They mean an entirely different | thing in union and relationship. They mean union and relationship. |
D:Day39.12 | is intermediary, it is what you carry, the connection between one | thing and another. In this instance it is the connection between two |
E.10 | You need not worry about this joy being selfish for there is no such | thing in unity. You will share your joy continuously just by sharing |
A.34 | certificates and degrees, admiration, respect, and status, are now a | thing of the past. What individuals may well be looking for is their |
thingness (5) |
||
C:20.13 | no time awaits. Nothing is like unto anything else. Likeness, like | thingness, has been overcome with oneness. Oneness prevails. The |
C:20.19 | for one small child in need of love? Has the world then not lost its | thingness? And has it not as well lost its personalness? Are your |
C:20.19 | of flesh and bone? Or are you, like the world you cry for, devoid of | thingness and a personal self? And when you have leapt for joy at the |
C:20.39 | that each one is worthy of his or her desires. Eachness replaces | thingness but not oneness. All fear that what one gets means that |
things (208) |

C:I.2 | counter to these rules, as if it knows, because of these rules, how | things are. |
C:P.24 | that grows impatient for change, for your ego is highly invested in | things remaining the same. It is, rather, a spirit of compassion that |
C:P.28 | from a place that does not accept and will never accept that these | things are what are meant for you or for those who walk this world |
C:P.30 | and independence that come with age are seen as the way that | things should be, and yet a return to the “family of origin” is also |
C:P.40 | as if the butterfly is both butterfly and caterpillar, two separate | things becoming one. You are well aware of the fact that if you could |
C:1.6 | letting go of the old world to make way for the new. Realize these | things do not matter and will not be carried with you to the new |
C:1.7 | Now you are beginning to trust that you will not need these | things you have carried. Ah, no heavy coat. For you trust the sun |
C:1.9 | it be a better way. It is the urge not to trust the teacher in all | things but only in certain things. It is the desire to find your way |
C:1.9 | the urge not to trust the teacher in all things but only in certain | things. It is the desire to find your way on your own so that you can |
C:1.9 | in your arrival would be diminished. This wanting to do | things on your own is a trick of the ego, your pride a gift the ego |
C:1.16 | means do you continue to recognize that love is at the heart of all | things even while it is not valued here? Here is a fine example that |
C:1.18 | Love is at the heart of all | things. How you feel but reflects your decision to accept love or to |
C:2.3 | Because you have chosen fear so many times and labeled it so many | things you no longer recognize it as fear. The same is true of love. |
C:2.4 | have given fear that love has been given attributes. Only separate | things have attributes and qualities that seem to complement or |
C:2.8 | Although your purpose here remains obscure, you identify some | things you call progress and others that you call evolution and you |
C:2.16 | from your being. Nothing stands alone. All your attempts to keep | things separate are but a re-enactment of the original separation |
C:3.5 | only what your eyes can see and hands can hold. You call these | things real and all else unreal. You can close your eyes and believe |
C:3.11 | for evidence that shows that if you behave in a certain way certain | things will happen as a result. Like a child learning not to touch a |
C:4.8 | the grasping call, the driving force, the chosen passion—all these | things that you have made to replace what you already have will lead |
C:5.7 | We are beginning now to paint you a new picture, a picture of | things unseen before but visible to your heart if not your eyes. Your |
C:5.8 | that fill your shelves, whether they are of ideas or money or | things to look at, are your desperate attempts to keep something for |
C:5.9 | This urge to preserve | things is but your urge to leave a mark upon the world, a mark that |
C:5.9 | a mark that says, “I have acquired much in my time here. These | things I love are what I leave the world, what I pass down; they |
C:5.13 | with love, becomes something else? An urge to violence may mean many | things, but always lurking behind it is an overwhelming desire for |
C:5.18 | and nothing is happening in truth. This illusionary world is full of | things you have told yourself and been instructed that you have to |
C:5.18 | but that you do not want to do. The more your life consists of such | things, the smaller your reality becomes. All that would join with |
C:5.29 | These do not have to be two separate | things, but are made so by your choice, the choice to achieve what |
C:6.2 | the center of everything that exists. This is reality. None of these | things make you less than what you have perceived yourself to be, but |
C:6.4 | is. Yet you still refuse to listen and to learn. You still prefer | things to be other than what they are and, through your preference, |
C:6.8 | is only seen in relation to peace. While you see these as separate | things you do not see what the relationship would show you. Contrast |
C:7.1 | whose ideas do come to fruition and succeed in getting desirable | things within this world. “I had that idea,” you lament when another |
C:7.15 | you will withhold what you have. And you are thankful for these | things with which you can demand ransom of the world, for without |
C:7.16 | of that which you withhold from the world of yourself? Both these | things are much the same in truth, for what you hold away from all |
C:7.16 | only you would benefit from, that wealth you would amass—these | things are as useless to you when saved for yourself alone as they |
C:8.20 | and its greeting lies upon your heart. Each day tells you all | things come to pass. At times this is cause for rejoicing. At other |
C:9.4 | or to you. In your memory of creation you have remembered that all | things exist in relationship, and that all things happen in |
C:9.4 | have remembered that all things exist in relationship, and that all | things happen in relationship. Thus you have chosen to use |
C:9.4 | have chosen to use relationship to prove your existence and to make | things happen. This use of relationship will never provide the proof |
C:9.21 | absence of violence peace. You think that if you but provide these | things that are opposite to what you would not want to have, you have |
C:9.33 | Creator did. God alone can give free will. In giving your power to | things like your body and to ideas like time your imitation of the |
C:9.35 | be forgiven is a first step away from your belief that you can fix | things by yourself and in so doing earn your way back into your |
C:9.37 | You have placed limits on all | things in your world, and it is these limits of usefulness that would |
C:9.38 | fear “putting all your eggs in one basket.” You seek to balance the | things you label drudgery and the things you label exciting. In doing |
C:9.38 | basket.” You seek to balance the things you label drudgery and the | things you label exciting. In doing so you see yourself as “spending |
C:9.39 | Seeking what you have lost in other people, places, and | things is but a sign that you do not understand that what you have |
C:9.45 | that makes use improper. The Holy Spirit can guide you to use the | things that you have made in ways that benefit the whole, and this is |
C:9.45 | displacement of yourself and your abdication of your power to the | things that you have made. |
C:10.3 | implementing. What you truly do not understand is wholeness. All | things exist in wholeness, including the thought system that you made |
C:10.31 | find you are too serious to play this game and that you have better | things to do. Yet as much as you resist, the idea has been planted |
C:11.1 | causes it to function, then you would indeed be required to learn | things on your own, for all true learning must come from your Source. |
C:11.2 | You think your source and your Creator are two separate | things, and too seldom remember even that you are not your own |
C:11.9 | not your own. You think you can be grateful to Him for some | things and blame Him for others. Yes, perhaps this God you think you |
C:12.1 | have believed in your separation rather than in your unity with all | things, you would be far more likely to nod your head and say, “I was |
C:12.18 | an idea seemed to take on a life of its own and compel you to do | things you might have never dreamed of doing. People often look back |
C:12.19 | born into. All that would change would be the shape of his life, the | things that would happen within it, perhaps the places in which it |
C:13.10 | kind of foolishness, a waste of time that could be spent on better | things. Yet time is not required, nor is money or the use of any |
C:14.15 | you could not wait to share. Perhaps you think the desire to keep | things for yourself stems from something other than fear. You might |
C:14.21 | found a love to shield them for a little while from all the other | things they fear. And yet the greatest fear of all is that of loss of |
C:15.5 | within it. Depending on your culture what is necessary may mean few | things, or many and different things for each one. From this sphere |
C:15.5 | culture what is necessary may mean few things, or many and different | things for each one. From this sphere of influence comes your notions |
C:16.14 | of the time, you believe you can guarantee your safety against some | things some of the time. And for this occasional protection that has |
C:17.5 | is good for you to know, and that to know more is going to mean that | things you would rather not know, and therefore must be bad, are what |
C:18.16 | step in what will seem now like an attempt to balance two separate | things, but is really an attempt to unite what you have only |
C:19.15 | through the same methods you have used in order to know about other | things. And, increasingly, you are willing to exchange experience for |
C:20.21 | thought go. Within the embrace, you can quit thinking even of holy | things, holy men and women, and even divine beings, even the one God. |
C:20.23 | remember that you are holy and that the world is sacred. A thousand | things can pull you from your remembrance. Forgetting “things” can |
C:20.38 | Hope acknowledges the kindliness of the universe and has no use for | things. The inanimate as well as the animate is called upon, depended |
C:20.47 | from the whole. These concerns are a matter of perception, and are | things your mind has been trained to see as being within its scope. |
C:20.47 | have cordoned off a little section of life and said, “These are the | things that relate to my existence and to me and they are all I need |
C:21.8 | unity is achieved you do not understand that you give meaning to all | things, and that there is nothing and no one external to you who can |
C:22.7 | encounter situations in your daily life, where you experience those | things that cause you to feel or believe in a certain way—and it is |
C:22.12 | of them are involved with denial, with creating places where | things enter and simply sit. These “things” are not really things, |
C:22.12 | where things enter and simply sit. These “things” are not really | things, but are all that you have found no meaning for. Since your |
C:22.13 | The “meaningless” category might include such | things as the happenings of your daily routine, chance encounters, |
C:22.13 | search for God. By using the word sit, I mean to imply that these | things have not passed through you and in the act of passing through |
C:22.15 | yourself from the self-held position of “meaning-giver,” you let | things be what they are and, allowed to be what they are, their |
C:22.15 | a pass-through approach and a relinquishment of the idea of bringing | things to a stop where they can be examined under a microscope quite |
C:22.21 | without using the word I or my. Quit referring to people and | things in terms of ownership, saying “my boss,” “my husband,” “my |
C:25.3 | are uncertain, interest where you feel indifference, knowledge of | things about which you know nothing. But those who have tried to fake |
C:25.10 | will be out of harmony. If you believe you and all other living | things are here in a state of grace, then all action will be in |
C:25.18 | matters. You will wonder why you are unconcerned about many of the | things you have been concerned about previously. Your life may |
C:25.19 | and should be accepted as such. You will learn that while some | things you have done and will continue to do may not matter, they may |
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:25.22 | necessarily reflect real need but rather an impatience with the way | things are and were. You will want to force change rather than wait |
C:26.13 | Are you not simply ready to be done with the way | things have been and to begin a new way? Are you not ready to listen |
C:27.7 | thing versus another, but of the relationship between all living | things. |
C:27.17 | ever come without an understanding of the relationship of all | things? |
C:27.18 | Does an understanding of the relationship of all | things mean that you will have power that is not of this world? Will |
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 |
T1:2.16 | that experience it speaks to your survival needs. It may signal many | things ranging from a desire to get safely home before it is dark, to |
T1:3.20 | needs not you for its accomplishment. Better not to mess with such | things. Even the thought of it leads you to ideas of magic and power |
T1:4.19 | of the ego-mind. Interpretation but gives you opinions about those | things that you experience. Response reveals the truth to you because |
T2:1.9 | a race, a tennis player becomes a champion. These are all scenes of | things and places, or in other words, of the external, of form. |
T2:2.2 | this phrase. But many recognize that they have a calling even unto | things the world considers mundane. |
T2:4.12 | what you feel called to do. This is not about the past and all those | things that at one time or another you thought would bring you |
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 |
T3:4.8 | Love has accomplished. Now the choice is before you to do one of two | things: to proceed toward love or fear. If you proceed with fear you |
T3:5.3 | or addiction, depression, or even physical exhaustion. All these | things you have brought to yourself for they have been the only way |
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 |
T4:10.3 | from your dreams. Learned from art and music. In all of these | things you have viewed yourself as the learner. You may not have |
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. |
T4:12.6 | surprises. Laugh and be joyous. You no longer have a need to figure | things out. Surprises cannot be figured out! They are meant to be |
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:Day4.46 | no return to judgment. It means no longer trying to leave these | things behind for they will be gone. It will mean no longer striving. |
D:Day4.50 | alongside accepting me, your Self, and abundance. But none of these | things are meant to be dwelt upon. The acceptance of abundance no |
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:Day4.58 | to feel sadness, anger, depression, or nostalgia for the way | things were. These things will not leave you before you leave them. |
D:Day4.58 | anger, depression, or nostalgia for the way things were. These | things will not leave you before you leave them. But you will leave |
D:Day5.18 | is still of your own choosing. The realization of a “way” to make | things as they are is never effortful in and of itself. |
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 |
D:Day10.38 | Jesus, to speak of feelings without addressing the grand scheme of | things. I want to comfort and reassure you in this final message. I |
D:Day10.38 | your peace, and your acceptance of the power that will cause these | things to come to be. Yet I know you and what you want to hear. I |
D:Day14.7 | opposite of the holding within you are asked to do now because those | things that were held in a “holding pattern” were based on fear. You |
D:Day15.3 | The spirit that animated all | things is the spirit that is in all things and that is the great |
D:Day15.3 | The spirit that animated all things is the spirit that is in all | things and that is the great informer. As you are more fully able to |
D:Day15.3 | being observed to being in-formed by the spirit which animates all | things. You begin the movement away from observing to informing. |
D:Day15.10 | the creative force of the universe, the animator and informer of all | things. |
D:Day17.1 | to start somewhere. We have spoken of the spirit that animated all | things as the movement or cause of movement that began the creation |
D:Day22.9 | the words that have been expressed here, that say so many similar | things in so many different ways, are words that are simply calling |
D:Day24.2 | only once potential is realized or made manifest, but always in all | things. |
D:Day26.4 | A guide shows the way, creates movement, gives direction. These | things too the Self can do if allowed to do so. The Self will guide |
D:Day32.13 | man is disenfranchised. Even while God is perhaps seen in all | things, or as the spirit by which all that lives, lives, God is still |
D:Day37.3 | not a tree. As a separate being, you only relate to other separate | things. In short, who you are being is all predicated, first and |
D:Day39.30 | money, career, beauty, fame, celebrity, intellect? Then these | things have become the content of who you are. Science, money, fame, |
D:Day40.20 | This search only makes sense to the separated self, who believes all | things are separate and thus believes that its self, as well as its |
E.21 | how you could be better, more, greater. If you still possess some | things that you would consider character flaws or faults, forget |
A.31 | from inclinations, which may be strong during this time, to “figure | things out.” Problem solving is to be discouraged. Trust is to be |

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: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 |
C:32.5 | If you do not | think you are yet prepared, if you think you are not yet ready, cease |
C:32.5 | If you do not think you are yet prepared, if you | think you are not yet ready, cease to think. Read again these words |
C:32.5 | you are yet prepared, if you think you are not yet ready, cease to | think. Read again these words of love and let the sound of love |
T1:1.10 | truth. This is what it is to create, for this is what it is like to | think as God thinks.” Where once you recognized only illusion and |
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 |
T2:1.13 | piano. Thoughts joined in unity hear music. Ego desires cause one to | think of an elaborately framed painting. Thoughts joined in unity see |
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 | 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 |
D:Day8.15 | your reference, that it is you who are not as “advanced” as you | think you are. |
D:Day8.16 | but you will not want to confuse the term and the condition. You may | think that taking away the type of certainty associated with the |
D:Day8.18 | feelings you will tend also to deny the feelings of others. You will | think that you know the real from the unreal, truth from illusion, |
D:Day8.19 | prone to acceptance of that which you “like,” to those feelings you | think of as “good” feelings, you are still prone to non-acceptance of |
D:Day8.26 | you are used to hiding the self of potential, the future self you | think you can only dream of being. The ego-self was the self you felt |
D:Day9.6 | of expression. No one can block the freedom of what your mind would | think or heart would feel. But take away the ability to express what |
D:Day9.6 | would feel. But take away the ability to express what the mind would | think or heart would feel, and freedom is no more. Yet it is not an |
D:Day9.32 | It begins with the simple realization that you do still desire, or | think you desire, learning challenges of this type and with the |
D:Day10.6 | in your feelings will lead to confidence in your Self. While you | think it is your access to unity that will be the more difficult to |
D:Day10.7 | have doubted your intuition and had something occur that made you | think back and wish that you had not doubted it. |
D:Day10.11 | different than rational thought, as are feelings of all kinds. You | think of feelings either as that which comes to you through your five |
D:Day10.14 | and the ability to act. To “know” before you act is wise. But to | think that doubting your feelings or seeking outside assurances of |
D:Day10.23 | I will still be with you to point the way, but if you can cease to | think of this as the wisdom of an outside source, if you can hear it |
D:Day10.23 | the wisdom of an outside source, if you can hear it and feel it and | think of it as a true dialogue, a true sharing in relationship in |
D:Day10.26 | dislike—why we have spoken, in short, of the feelings you would | think would have no place within the ideal self or the elevated Self |
D:Day10.27 | reigns and the spirit is free of the body. Yet if you were to | think now of a person whom you know who has died, you would not be |
D:Day10.27 | of a person whom you know who has died, you would not be likely to | think of them much differently than they were in life, even while you |
D:Day10.28 | you have thought of him or her since death. Do you not occasionally | think that this person would be happy or sad to see you in the state |
D:Day10.28 | would be happy or sad to see you in the state you are in when you | think of them? Do you not at times shake your head and think that a |
D:Day10.28 | in when you think of them? Do you not at times shake your head and | think that a dead loved one was lucky not to have lived to see the |
D:Day10.28 | know they would not have liked it? And do you not, in all honesty, | think that even in whatever form or lack of form they now occupy, |
D:Day10.30 | Consciousness is about what you are aware of, not about what you | think. And you are very much aware of your feelings. |
D:Day10.31 | it was this. I was an advocate for all to know their power. Do you | think that my advocacy was a social statement for the times in which |
D:Day13.3 | oneness of the Holy One who is both one—somewhat in the way you | think of the individual self—and All. |
D:Day15.16 | remained within them that Christ-consciousness is a form of “group | think.” Never will you feel more like an individual than when you are |
D:Day16.4 | feelings. These manifestations come to you to prove to you what you | think you know—that you are responsible for the sorry circumstances |
D:Day16.5 | all kinds. These manifestations also come to you to prove what you | think you know—that others, or the world in general, are to blame |
D:Day19.2 | and denial. Although this is overly simplified, you might | think of this as the artist being content in creating art, the |
D:Day20.4 | When you read what has been written here, you perhaps | think this is a contradiction, for surely you have been told much |
D:Day21.6 | a channel and that you are constantly receiving. You still perhaps | think in terms of receiving meaning that there is something given |
D:Day22.10 | You might | think of yourself as a channel through which union with God is |
D:Day24.5 | You might | think of the caterpillar as the unaltered self with which you began |
D:Day24.5 | as the unaltered self with which you began your journey. You might | think of your body as the cocoon, the carrier of your potential. You |
D:Day24.5 | of your body as the cocoon, the carrier of your potential. You might | think of the butterfly as your spirit, revealed only after the |
D:Day25.5 | Rather than a time of questions and answers, you might | think of this time as a time of sorting and culling. Become used to |
D:Day25.6 | weed a garden, recognizing that you know the harvest from the weeds. | Think of yourself as stockpiling this harvest. It is not yet time for |
D:Day27.1 | Think now not of being apprehensive in terms of being fearful of the | |
D:Day27.7 | with life. You quite literally have a new way of seeing. You might | think of this initially as having two perspectives, an internal and |
D:Day27.12 | you were to perceive of wholeness as an ideal temperature, you might | think for a moment, just as an illustration, of your experience of |
D:Day28.13 | are not in control in many ways and at many times. Therefore, you | think that you must take what life has to “give.” This is most likely |
D:Day28.14 | more so than with ideas of success or failure. Therefore, you | think that you must take what God has to “give.” |
D:Day30.4 | injunction of “where two or more are joined together.” If you would | think of this in terms of “God” or the state of “Wholeness” or |
D:Day32.5 | to God than when God is thought of in broader terms. You might | think of God as you think of yourself. When thinking of the ideas put |
D:Day32.5 | God is thought of in broader terms. You might think of God as you | think of yourself. When thinking of the ideas put forth here, you |
D:Day32.5 | of yourself. When thinking of the ideas put forth here, you might | think of God deciding to know Himself. You might think of God |
D:Day32.5 | here, you might think of God deciding to know Himself. You might | think of God deciding to create. You might think of God creating. You |
D:Day32.5 | know Himself. You might think of God deciding to create. You might | think of God creating. You might think of God granting free will to |
D:Day32.5 | God deciding to create. You might think of God creating. You might | think of God granting free will to His creations. Then, perhaps, you |
D:Day32.5 | of God granting free will to His creations. Then, perhaps, you might | think of God resting, or standing back and witnessing the unfolding |
D:Day33.7 | You might | think of being as what you are, and responding as who you are. You |
D:Day36.14 | greed, humility, and longing—has always been yours. The power to | think—rationally or passionately, logically or instinctively—has |
D:Day37.7 | not be so difficult to dislodge, but the difficulty lies in that you | think of God in your image, and the image you hold of yourself has |
D:Day37.11 | when added to the previous number returns it to its original value. | Think further of a problem in division that results in something left |
D:Day37.16 | As a separate being unable to know, you have been forced, or so you | think, to rely on “external” proof. |
D:Day39.11 | as simple as relationship is within your everyday life. You may not | think that relationship within everyday life is simple, but you also |
D:Day39.48 | this is what we do and who we are? That we are creators? That we | think, feel, know, and create. Creation is the manifestation of all |
D:Day39.48 | feel, know, and create. Creation is the manifestation of all we | think, feel, know and come to know. Because we are constantly |

A.15 | “How do you feel?” is a more appropriate question than, “What do you | think?” The sharing of experience is more appropriate than the |

T1:4.17 | What you have decided that this means is that you are an independent | thinker, something you have prized. Some of you will accept another’s |

C:1.14 | In this you think correctly. And yet you do not choose this option, | thinking that to do so you turn your back on responsibility and on |
C:2.7 | joy heaven and pain hell and seek the middle ground for your reality | thinking there are more than these two choices. A life of little joy |
C:2.16 | You have not sufficiently reversed your | thinking, or your heart would not still be troubled. The reversal has |

C:7.18 | It is easy to see why this is so when you recognize how bound your | thinking is to specifics. Again this is why we call on love and the |
C:8.3 | memory begins to return to you. Your heart will aid you in replacing | thinking with remembering. In this way, remembering can be |
C:8.11 | rather than from the grace-filled place of union. Perhaps you are | thinking now that if you knew how this union worked you would surely |
C:8.16 | We will go one step further as well, for many of you are | thinking still that it is what is within the body that is real: your |
C:9.22 | You may be | thinking now that what I have just told you is not an answer is |
C:10.32 | Many of you will rebel here | thinking this is not what you signed on for. You just want to read |

C:20.44 | Your | thinking will begin to change to reflect your recognition of |
C:20.44 | to serve them. To serve rather than to use is an enormous change in | thinking, feeling, and acting. It will immediately make the world a |
C:20.45 | well. It implies willingness rather than resistance. To change your | thinking and your feelings from expecting resistance to expecting |
C:20.48 | love. This realization is not one of sentiment, regrets, or wishful | thinking. It is the view from the embrace, the return to one |
C:21.5 | between the language of your mind and heart. Your mind insists on | thinking and learning in a certain way, a way contrary to the |

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 |
T1:4.21 | so that you may apply to them the art of thought rather than the | thinking of the ego-mind. The art of thought will reveal the truth to |
T1:4.21 | the ego-mind. The art of thought will reveal the truth to you. The | thinking of the ego-mind would simply reinterpret the meaning you |
T1:4.26 | the enormity of this confusion sink in, for this is the reversal in | thinking that will pave the way for all the rest. Because of this |
T1:4.27 | time immemorial, fear has been associated with God. This was the | thinking I came to reverse. While I succeeded in revealing a God of |
T1:5.9 | Again I tell you that it is only your body and the | thinking of your ego-mind that make the in-between state of the |
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 |
T2:4.19 | to life causes you to struggle or resist and the new way of | thinking replaces that old pattern with a new pattern of response, |
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. |
T2:9.14 | alert you, or serve as a sign, that the ego-mind and its fear-based | thinking has momentarily returned. This does not mean that you will |
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 |
T2:13.4 | I am the corrector of false thinking because I lived among you as a | thinking being. Think not that I was different than you and you will |
T2:13.5 | which all calls are sounded and received, the place where the true | thinking of those united in mind and heart arises. Gratitude is the |
T3:2.13 | may be happily congratulating yourself on leaving such adolescent | thinking behind, this thinking must be quickly replaced with a new |
T3:2.13 | yourself on leaving such adolescent thinking behind, this | thinking must be quickly replaced with a new idea about yourself or |
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:5.2 | be newly dedicated, dedicated to the only purpose worthy of your | thought: the purpose of joining with your real Self, the Christ in |
C:5.20 | your mind within this Course has already been stated: Dedicate your | thought to union. When senseless thoughts fill your mind, when |
C:5.20 | fill your mind, when resentments arise, when worry comes, repeat the | thought that comes to open your heart and clear your mind: “I |
C:5.20 | that comes to open your heart and clear your mind: “I dedicate all | thought to union.” As often as you need to replace senseless |
C:6.2 | Why not forgive the world for being other than what you have | thought it to be and begin to learn what it really is? This is what |
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:6.14 | into truth. For in truth are all illusions gone, in heaven is all | thought of hell forever vanquished. |
C:7.1 | A major | thought reversal is required now before we can go on. It has been |
C:7.5 | This one | thought constitutes a thought system in and of itself, for it is the |
C:7.5 | This one thought constitutes a | thought system in and of itself, for it is the primary thought by |
C:7.5 | constitutes a thought system in and of itself, for it is the primary | thought by which you live your life. Your effort goes into |
C:7.5 | yourself separate. Like the love you set aside from this world, this | thought too is one that can be used, for it recognizes that you are |
C:7.9 | away in a vault so impenetrable and so long secured that you have | thought it forgotten. You have not realized the vault is your own |
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 | by the thought system that gave birth to it. There are but two | thought systems: the thought system of God, and the thought system of |
C:8.25 | system that gave birth to it. There are but two thought systems: the | thought system of God, and the thought system of the ego or the |
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:8.25 | system is one of continuous creation, rebirth and renewal. The ego’s | thought system is one of continuous destruction and disassembly, of |
C:10.2 | Now we must return to the concept of relationship, for the | thought of bodies joined in union closer than the union that you feel |
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:10.3 | rest. Thus we will continue to point out the differences in the two | thought systems so that your ideas can begin to change, until finally |
C:10.3 | runs the body, but identified as the center of yourself—has no | thought system separate from your own and must exist in the reality |
C:10.19 | concern for needs such as food and shelter, but for survival of the | thought system of the separated self. Happiness is not a priority |
C:10.24 | course that is the way we hear our thoughts—it is the nature of | thought.” But have you ever before considered the nature of your |
C:11.6 | to relinquish illusion’s hold on you. You can be faithful to but one | thought system. One is the thought system of the separated self and |
C:11.6 | on you. You can be faithful to but one thought system. One is the | thought system of the separated self and is based on separation. The |
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:18.20 | of your heart with that which you more naturally perceive as | thought, the words and images that “go through” your mind. |
C:18.21 | to you. So what we speak of now is integrating remembrance and | thought. |
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 | and this brings up another reason for our reliance on the heart. | Thought, as you know it, is an aspect of duality. It cannot be |
C:19.13 | terms of “I” and “them,” “death and life,” “good and evil.” This is | thought. Thought occurs in words, and words separate. It is only in |
C:19.13 | “I” and “them,” “death and life,” “good and evil.” This is thought. | Thought occurs in words, and words separate. It is only in combining |
C:19.13 | a focus on letting the heart lead that love can be combined with | thought in such a way as to actually transcend thought as you know |
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” |
C:19.17 | can bypass the need for the separate thoughts of the separated one’s | thought system. But you must be trained to do this. Thus your |
C:20.2 | Close your eyes and begin to see with an imagination that is beyond | thought and words. |
C:20.21 | the oneness of the embrace. Within the embrace you can let all | thought go. Within the embrace, you can quit thinking even of holy |
C:20.32 | is to know what you do. Let the fear be taken from this area of your | thought so that you can see the application of cooperative action. As |
C:20.45 | to replace the idea of to use and is its opposite. It replaces the | thought of taking with the thought of receiving. It implies that you |
C:20.45 | use and is its opposite. It replaces the thought of taking with the | thought of receiving. It implies that you are welcome to all the |
C:20.48 | knowing you might call wisdom and think of as an attainable ideal of | thought. Yet it is not about thought at all, but is beyond thought. |
C:20.48 | and think of as an attainable ideal of thought. Yet it is not about | thought at all, but is beyond thought. It is not wisdom but the |
C:20.48 | ideal of thought. Yet it is not about thought at all, but is beyond | thought. It is not wisdom but the truth. The truth is that which |
C:21.4 | in ways that touch your heart will free your mind of its reliance on | thought concepts, thus allowing heart and mind to speak the same |
C:22.19 | of thinking is thinking with the small “I.” “I saw.” “I felt.” “I | thought.” “I did.” The individual, personal, separated self is at the |
C:22.20 | most of the requirements you find pleasing in a day. Replace such a | thought with: “The grass is green. The birds are singing. The sun is |
C:23.25 | will remember that the one exercise for your mind is dedicating all | thought to union, you will keep your mind engaged and less resistant |
C:26.21 | You are a | thought of a God. An idea. This thought, or idea, is what you seek. |
C:26.21 | You are a thought of a God. An idea. This | thought, or idea, is what you seek. It can be found only at its |
C:26.25 | and what you feel deprived of creating. As a being birthed by a | thought of God, you grew simultaneously with God’s thought. You knew |
C:26.25 | birthed by a thought of God, you grew simultaneously with God’s | thought. You knew your place in the pattern of creation from the |
C:26.25 | from the outset. A full life is quite simply a fulfillment of that | thought and that pattern. The only way to know it is to think it once |
C:26.27 | I fulfilled my story, my pattern, the idea of me that came from the | thought of God. In doing so, I restored unity, oneness with God. I |
C:27.9 | The | thought of God by which you were created is synonymous with the |

C:31.2 | are made in many religions and philosophies that separate | thought—as dictated by the body—from thought of a higher order, |
C:31.2 | philosophies that separate thought—as dictated by the body—from | thought of a higher order, or spiritual thought. Thoughts related to |

C:31.25 | to keep truth a secret, one of the most ridiculous ideas of the ego | thought system. |
C:32.4 | has returned you to your Self. Think not. This Course requires no | thought and no effort. There is no prolonged study and the few |
T1:1.6 | in truth be left behind now as we concentrate rather on the art of | thought. |
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 |
T1:1.12 | your willingness is called upon. Be willing now to apply the art of | thought to the experience of truth. |
T1:2.1 | beginning in truth and has led you to readiness to learn the art of | thought. |
T1:2.5 | to this unlearning and learning. That response is the art of | thought. |
T1:2.8 | is being revealed to you, and it does call for a change of | thought so extensive that all thought as you once knew it does need |
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:Day1.6 | to make a choice between the thought system of the ego and the | thought system of unity. This choice was made, and thus you have |
D:Day3.28 | was a learning device—not one of divine design, but one of the | thought system of the ego. It was a trick to keep you constantly |
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:Day5.5 | from their mouths as speech is enabled that bypasses the realm of | thought completely. Do not fight any of these feelings or others that |
D:Day7.12 | with grace. This occurs as you give up the control you have but | thought you exerted over your life and its circumstances, and live in |
D:Day8.17 | have been to accept the feelings generated by the fear of the ego | thought system or the bitterness of your heart. It would have been to |
D:Day8.26 | The very idea of potential, you may recall, is a product of the ego | thought system that would keep your true Self hidden. You are used to |
D:Day8.29 | can err in following your feelings. This is the thinking of the old | thought system, not the new. This is thinking comprised of the |
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 | What you have trusted in the most is rational | thought, and intuition is different than rational thought, as are |
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:Day10.11 | trusted in these feelings as much as you have trusted in rational | thought. This lack of trust works both for you and against you now. |
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:Day15.26 | whom you are coming to know, and perhaps quite different than you | thought it would be. You will be shown that you can enter the |
D:Day15.27 | may have grown less eager to strike out on your own. You may have | thought the joining being done here was the joining with a specific |

D:Day16.2 | you felt it. All that you have thought is still there because you | thought it. |
D:Day16.15 | Consciousness began as all feeling and all | thought, all of which were of love because love is everything. All |
D:Day19.8 | from Christ-consciousness as demonstrations of ways. Those who have | thought of Mary as an intermediary are as inaccurate in this belief |
D:Day19.8 | as an intermediary are as inaccurate in this belief as are those who | thought of Jesus in such a way. Neither demonstrated intermediary |
D:Day20.10 | Apply the art of | thought to this idea and you will complete the first transition. |
D:Day21.10 | Concentrate on making the first transition and on the reversal of | thought that it requires. Thus will you carry this time forward with |
D:Day26.6 | Your self-guidance can be | thought of as an internal compass. It will not necessarily know the |
D:Day27.4 | showing up as flashes of insight. These flashes of insight might be | thought of as brief views from the mountain. The obstacles confronted |
D:Day28.16 | the truth. Most of what is not the truth has been identified as old | thought patterns. This is all that the notion of a giver and a |
D:Day28.16 | This is all that the notion of a giver and a receiver is: An old | thought pattern. |
D:Day28.17 | Thought patterns exist within thought systems that have been | |
D:Day28.17 | Thought patterns exist within | thought systems that have been externalized and are part of the world |
D:Day32.5 | concept of God as Supreme Being—God as one being, one entity. When | thought of in such a way, it is somewhat easier to relate to God than |
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:Day35.17 | return to previous discussions of original creation, but it must be | thought of so that you understand creation. It has been said before |
D:Day35.19 | unity as has been your concept of God and man. Few of you have even | thought of creating as God creates. You have barely been able to |
D:Day35.19 | of creating as God creates. You have barely been able to accept the | thought of the miracle! |
D:Day35.20 | “created” during the time of your separation by being who you have | thought yourself to be. |
D:Day36.13 | with nobility or doubt, boldness or timidity, all within a frame of | thought and feeling that has felt completely real to you and is |

D:Day37.21 | in unity and relationship with everything God is one with every | thought and every feeling. God is one with every creation. God is all |
D:Day40.16 | your brothers and sisters, relationships that define who you have | thought me to be. Because these relationships are so different, many |

E.23 | you will not desire to turn back, not even for the familiar | thought processes that, although they have bedeviled you, you have |
A.4 | to learn in a new way. You are thus instructed not to apply your | thought and your effort, your usual means of learning, to this Course |
A.4 | Course is not for the mind but for the heart. It is not a way of | thought and effort but a way of feeling, of ease, and of direct |
A.5 | in giving up your attachment to learning through the application of | thought and effort that creates the perception of this Course’s |
A.31 | situation in a new way?” To encourage the gentleness of the art of | thought over the relentless stridency of the thinking mind is always |
A.35 | entering spoken dialogue. As was said in “A Treatise on the Art of | Thought,” “Creation is but a dialogue to which you have not |

D:9.2 | The final | thought reversal that was spoken of in the section on acceptance is |
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 | system that gave birth to it. There are but two thought systems: the | thought system of God, and the thought system of the ego or the |
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: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:10.3 | runs the body, but identified as the center of yourself—has no | thought system separate from your own and must exist in the reality |
C:10.19 | concern for needs such as food and shelter, but for survival of the | thought system of the separated self. Happiness is not a priority |
C:11.6 | to relinquish illusion’s hold on you. You can be faithful to but one | thought system. One is the thought system of the separated self and |
C:11.6 | on you. You can be faithful to but one thought system. One is the | thought system of the separated self and is based on separation. The |
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:19.17 | can bypass the need for the separate thoughts of the separated one’s | thought system. But you must be trained to do this. Thus your |
C:31.2 | be made for some of you to fully let go of your fear of the shared | thought system of unity. |
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 | 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 |
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: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:Day8.17 | have been to accept the feelings generated by the fear of the ego | thought system or the bitterness of your heart. It would have been to |
D:Day8.26 | The very idea of potential, you may recall, is a product of the ego | thought system that would keep your true Self hidden. You are used to |
D:Day8.29 | can err in following your feelings. This is the thinking of the old | thought system, not the new. This is thinking comprised of the |

C:8.25 | by the thought system that gave birth to it. There are but two | thought systems: the thought system of God, and the thought system of |
C:10.3 | rest. Thus we will continue to point out the differences in the two | thought systems so that your ideas can begin to change, until finally |
D:4.15 | for your learning. It was upon the foundation of this and other | thought systems that your perception developed. Through contrast, you |

C:8.1 | The thoughts of your heart you have defined as your emotions. These | thoughts stand apart from the wisdom of your heart that we have |

C:8.5 | Many emotions as well as | thoughts would seem to block your way to the stillness in which this |

C:10.19 | a mood—and this setting is determined with your heart. The | thoughts of your separated self care little for such as this and |
C:10.24 | does not come through your ears. You will find that you are full of | thoughts—thoughts about your body, the same kind of thoughts you |
C:10.24 | through your ears. You will find that you are full of thoughts— | thoughts about your body, the same kind of thoughts you might have of |
C:10.24 | are full of thoughts—thoughts about your body, the same kind of | thoughts you might have of someone else’s body. The difference will |
C:10.24 | might have of someone else’s body. The difference will be that these | thoughts will not seem to have originated in your head. You may |
C:10.24 | the first time or in a different way that you have always heard your | thoughts without the benefit of your ears. You may be saying now, “Of |
C:10.24 | ears. You may be saying now, “Of course that is the way we hear our | thoughts—it is the nature of thought.” But have you ever before |
C:10.24 | of thought.” But have you ever before considered the nature of your | thoughts, or have you merely taken them for granted? |
C:10.25 | Thoughts are not seen nor heard and yet they are with you constantly, | |
C:10.25 | at conducting this experiment, you will realize anew that your | thoughts more accurately define who you are than your body does. |

C:17.15 | Your | thoughts, however, have become quite harsh, and quite entrenched in |

C:18.17 | A wandering mind is seen as quite the norm, and | thoughts that dart about in a chaotic fashion are as acceptable and |
C:19.16 | to you, and truly, while you remain here, even experiences beyond | thoughts and words you will apply word and thought to. Yet love has |
C:19.17 | concept of this, as all concepts are born from the mind’s separate | thoughts. Yet this same mind could still conceive of a creator. A |
C:19.17 | and union with, that creator, can bypass the need for the separate | thoughts of the separated one’s thought system. But you must be |

C:23.3 | inviolate. Yet relationally, you may be able to “read each other’s | thoughts,” be cognizant of the slightest switch in mood, finish each |
C:26.12 | life in your world? Have you not wished you could throw out all the | thoughts and worries that fill your mind and begin anew? |
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 | your own, private and sacrosanct. These highly guarded and regarded | thoughts are what A Course in Miracles calls body thoughts. |
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:31.13 | be total to be at all. Thus while you believe you are devoted to the | thoughts of a split mind you are devoted to nothing. This is why so |
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 |

C:32.5 | I will return them to you transformed by Love. Do not grieve your | thoughts or believe in loss of anything of any kind. Thus will all |
T1:1.9 | the ego. The ego-mind was what was once in charge of all your | thoughts. Since the ego is incapable of learning the ego-mind had to |
T1:1.10 | The joy that will come to you from the | thoughts of a mind joined in union will be unparalleled in your |
T1:2.2 | to control and protection, can all now be seen as the product of the | thoughts of your ego-mind. |
T1:2.3 | To experience the truth and apply to that experience the | thoughts of the ego-mind, the same thoughts that were applied to |
T1:2.3 | and apply to that experience the thoughts of the ego-mind, the same | thoughts that were applied to former experiences of the truth, would |
T1:2.4 | responses flow. As your heart is the Source of your true Self, your | thoughts, once removed from those of the ego-mind are the expression |
T1:2.5 | Thoughts that were guarded by the ego-mind were in need of being set | |
T1:2.7 | to this situation in the past was focus. You thus applied your | thoughts to learning subjects of a specific nature. Through this |
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 |
T2:1.9 | and form in your thinking of them. A desire to paint, in your | thoughts becomes a completed painting that you hang upon your wall. |
T2:1.11 | are a creator but a creator who creates with thought unlike to any | thoughts you have had before. Your thoughts of a grand piano will |
T2:1.11 | with thought unlike to any thoughts you have had before. Your | thoughts of a grand piano will never create a grand piano. What kind |
T2:1.11 | of a grand piano will never create a grand piano. What kind of | thoughts, then, would create a pianist? |
T2:1.12 | Thoughts joined in unity. Thoughts joined in unity can be likened to | |
T2:1.12 | Thoughts joined in unity. | Thoughts joined in unity can be likened to thinking without thought. |
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 |
T2:1.13 | you will never reach the goals associated with those tangible steps. | Thoughts joined in unity create without goals or planning, without |
T2:4.8 | not reacted to the idea of calling with two sets of feelings and | thoughts. One set of thoughts and feelings contain all that one might |
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 |
T3:7.2 | the truth of who you are and who God is, we speak now of ideas or | thoughts. If you believe that God created you with a thought or idea, |
T3:8.3 | mind. Thus bitterness has to do with your feelings more so than your | thoughts. The ego but played upon these feelings, using them as |
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 |
T3:10.5 | short-circuit the many thoughts that you would attach to this idea, | thoughts that have formed a chain-reaction of situations and events, |
T3:10.8 | ego. While the ego is gone, many of its messages remain within your | thoughts, like echoes of a former time. These thoughts are remembered |
T3:10.8 | remain within your thoughts, like echoes of a former time. These | thoughts are remembered messages and so must, like all the rest, be |
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 |
T3:10.9 | be easily seen through and the uncertainty behind them revealed. | Thoughts of the Christ-mind will hold a certainty that cannot be |
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 |
T4:12.27 | of that design, a pattern that was part of the pattern of your | thoughts, even after the ego came to rule your thought system. |
D:4.9 | Your prison was created by the separated | thoughts of the separated thought “system.” Systems, as you may |
D:5.18 | and your immediate environment, the prison of your mind and the | thoughts that so confuse you, the prison of past and future and a now |

D:9.1 | a door that swings open and closed on the hinges of your thoughts. | Thoughts are a greater boundary than the dot of your body and a |
D:9.11 | by discussing now the nature of ideas as opposed to the nature of | thoughts. |
D:9.12 | in nature. You may think that they are the result of learning, of | thoughts you have contemplated and struggled with. You may think that |
D:11.1 | to solve problems, apply thought to intellectual puzzles, focus your | thoughts in order to make up your mind. You make lists of your |
D:11.1 | your thoughts in order to make up your mind. You make lists of your | thoughts so you don’t forget what they remind you to do, you order |
D:11.1 | so you don’t forget what they remind you to do, you order your | thoughts to communicate effectively, you take note of your thoughts |
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 | thoughts are the last bastion of your separated self, the fertile |
D:11.5 | and that a contribution has been asked of you. And so your mighty | thoughts have turned their focus on this problem and attacked it as |
D:11.5 | of making a contribution has begun to receive the attention of your | thoughts. The hope of answering your call and fulfilling your promise |
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:11.10 | to make of me a teacher is the same as your desire to make your | thoughts into answers that will provide you with direction. As was |
D:11.11 | going from being an ability to simply being who you are, is your | thoughts—thoughts that need an explanation for everything, and an |
D:11.11 | being an ability to simply being who you are, is your thoughts— | thoughts that need an explanation for everything, and an explanation |
D:11.12 | of these words will provide the answer to the question your | thoughts cannot quite comprehend well enough to even articulate, much |
D:11.18 | Turn now not to your | thoughts, but to the mind and heart joined in unity. In unity! Unity |
D:12.1 | no mechanism through which thought can enter your mind. You believe | thoughts exist in your mind and are themselves the product of your |
D:12.1 | equivalent to the end of thought, you accept this as proof that your | thoughts originate from within your brain. |
D:12.2 | who first received these words as receiving them either through her | thoughts or through her ears, as in the idea of “hearing” words. The |
D:12.2 | words. The receiver of these words, in fact, “hears” these words as | thoughts. They are not “her” thoughts, but they also are not separate |
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:12.3 | They are, quite simply, not the separated | thoughts of the separated thought system. |
D:12.7 | how the first receiver of these words can “hear” these words as | thoughts. Keep in mind that she thus has thoughts she is not thinking. |
D:12.7 | can “hear” these words as thoughts. Keep in mind that she thus has | thoughts she is not thinking. |
D:12.8 | person you “hear” what it is they have to say. You “hear” their | thoughts through the form of the spoken word. They do not then become |
D:12.8 | through the form of the spoken word. They do not then become “your” | thoughts, but they do “enter” you. Their words must enter you in |
D:12.9 | We have already established that the | thoughts that arise from unity are not the same as the thoughts that |
D:12.9 | that the thoughts that arise from unity are not the same as the | thoughts that arise from the thought system of the separated self. We |
D:12.9 | “thinking” of another that is shared with you in dialogue, but the | thoughts. Thus this distinction will suffice for our further |
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:12.11 | not serve you, you do have, right now, and have always had, true | thoughts that come to you from your Self, the Self joined in unity. |
D:12.11 | that come to you from your Self, the Self joined in unity. These are | thoughts you did not “think,” just as the first receiver of these |
D:12.11 | “think,” just as the first receiver of these words received them as | thoughts she did not “think.” |
D:12.14 | may be like, you will undoubtedly realize this: You have had such | thoughts already, thoughts that came to you with an authority that |
D:12.14 | will undoubtedly realize this: You have had such thoughts already, | thoughts that came to you with an authority that you are not used to |
D:12.14 | that came to you with an authority that you are not used to— | thoughts that you know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, are true or right |
D:12.14 | shadow of a doubt, are true or right or accurate. They may be simple | thoughts about a situation in which you are involved, or about the |
D:12.15 | at such times have been frustrated by an inability to share these | thoughts, or to deliver them with the authority of the truth simply |
D:12.18 | with which this truth came to you as something other than your usual | thoughts, other than your usual “self.” Either way, however, you know |
D:12.19 | The | thoughts that come to you from unity can thus be seen as both your |

D:Day3.14 | To think in such terms, and then to see such | thoughts as even capable of having spiritual value, is something you |

D:Day4.7 | now associate almost exclusively with thinking, the terms of having | thoughts, or words, in your mind. |
D:Day4.15 | about access that seems to come through the mind. We have spoken of | thoughts that arise that you didn’t think. We have spoken of talents |
D:Day9.7 | that even this is not quite true. You know that you censor your own | thoughts and feelings, accepting some and not others. You know you |
D:Day10.10 | thought than as feeling, but even so, it is your feelings about such | thoughts that will often determine how you act upon them. Do you |
D:Day10.11 | not have to resist and reject an existing trust as you do with the | thoughts of the mind you call rational. It works against you because |

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: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 |
T1:5.15 | It is in this way that you will enter a | time of miracles, put an end to suffering, and thus begin the return |
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 | You were told in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought” that the | time of the Holy Spirit has ended and the time of the second coming |
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 |
T3:20.2 | degrees of remembering and since this is what we work to have occur, | time can become our ally by using it for effectiveness. |
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:11.11 | from this belief is insane for reasons already enumerated time and | time again. What prevents this belief from becoming an ability and |
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:13.1 | as what you know grows beyond the realm of mind and body, form and | time. |
D:13.7 | affect you as it did those of the past because you are living in the | time of Christ, a time when no intermediaries are needed or required. |
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:14.17 | the way in which source and cause transform body and mind, form and | time. |
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:15.10 | with spirit existing in every living form from the beginning of | time until the end of time? |
D:15.10 | in every living form from the beginning of time until the end of | time? |
D:15.11 | Time is what begins and ends. Time is what began when life took on | |
D:15.11 | Time is what begins and ends. | Time is what began when life took on existence in form and space. It |
D:15.12 | develop a relationship with all that passes through you. Now is the | time when the fruit of those efforts will be reaped. For what passes |

D:15.15 | sailing—flying along with the wind at your back—and at another | time sitting still or seemingly bobbing along with no apparent |
D:15.18 | to receive the maximum connection to unity that is possible in this | time. You realize that some breaks in service will still occur, that |
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 | While it was said 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 |
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:16.10 | you are to the time of being who you are,” it was not said that this | time of becoming was completed. |
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:16.13 | sustainability of Christ-consciousness or unity, in form. In your | time of directly experiencing the movement, being, and expression of |
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:17.1 | to follow into inheritance. It is a following after that occurs in | time and space rather than in truth. It is never about one. It is not |
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:Day22.8 | every flower, in each mountain stream and in the blowing wind. It is | time to be a channel for the awareness of union with God that exists |
D:Day22.10 | with God is expressed and made real here and now. There is no other | time. There is no “higher” self waiting to do what only you can do. |
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:Day25.3 | need not guard against an over-zealous ego-mind. Your ideas in this | time may sound crazy, even to your own ears. Let them come. Your |
D:Day25.4 | You need not, in this | time, seek either questions or answers. You need rather, in this |
D:Day25.4 | time, seek either questions or answers. You need rather, in this | time, to come into the practice of letting the new come. It is in the |
D:Day25.5 | Rather than a | time of questions and answers, you might think of this time as a time |
D:Day25.5 | Rather than a time of questions and answers, you might think of this | time as a time of sorting and culling. Become used to letting what |
D:Day25.5 | a time of questions and answers, you might think of this time as a | time of sorting and culling. Become used to letting what comes to you |
D:Day25.6 | weeds. Think of yourself as stockpiling this harvest. It is not yet | time for the harvest celebration. It is, rather, a time for gathering. |
D:Day25.6 | It is not yet time for the harvest celebration. It is, rather, a | time for gathering. |
D:Day25.7 | This is a | time of preparation, not a time of waiting. What you need to know now |
D:Day25.7 | This is a time of preparation, not a | time of waiting. What you need to know now cannot be gathered except |
D:Day27.2 | thus begun to experience on two levels. This has been a goal of the | time we have spent together in this way. |
D:Day27.5 | to level ground because you have practiced during our mountain top | time together the ability to experience on two levels. |
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 change, this transformation, can only take place within | time because only within time is the experience of separation |
D:Day28.18 | transformation, can only take place within time because only within | time is the experience of separation possible, and experience is |
D:Day28.18 | lies. This transformation will, however, take you beyond | time, because once experience is moved out of the realm of separation |
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:Day28.19 | on the mountain would be more rightly described as “time outside of | time.” |
D:Day28.20 | of time” and “time” simultaneously. Thus is the “wholeness” of | time, or eternity, experienced and made real. Eternity might thus be |
D:Day28.20 | unchanging constant that has not been affected by the variable of | time. Said in another way, eternity and time are part of the same |
D:Day28.20 | affected by the variable of time. Said in another way, eternity and | time are part of the same continuum as are properties such as hot and |
D:Day28.23 | is the simple realization that it is possible. This is what our | time on the mountain has provided you with: The experience required |
D:Day32.9 | the concept of a living God. How might God live? Could He live in | time and space in a dimension we know not? Does He live as the spirit |
D:Day32.15 | All and not also be man? How can God be all that is and at the same | time not all that is? How can God be the All Powerful and Living God |
D:Day32.18 | of 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 |
D:Day33.12 | expression of power—all the different expressions of power. In the | time of Jesus, the powerful were seen as being blessed by God and 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:Day34.8 | Thus we continue to draw to the close of our | time together by asking each other to experience our power—the |
D:Day35.9 | neither learned nor accomplished. They simply are. They thus take no | time to learn and require no steps to accomplishment. They can be |
D:Day35.14 | anything but love could have disastrous effects. This has been seen | time and time again as you have “created” in separation. |
D:Day35.14 | but love could have disastrous effects. This has been seen time and | time again as you have “created” in separation. |
D:Day35.16 | it exists has produced the idea of separation, while at the same | time, humankind’s desire for separation produced unawareness of union |
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:Day35.16 | apart from particulars but united with wholeness, has led to this | time of opposites becoming one and wholeness becoming actual rather |
D:Day35.20 | being who you are being, just as you have “created” during the | time of your separation by being who you have thought yourself to be. |
D:Day36.18 | and the truth of being in union and relationship. Both at the same | time. Both/and rather than either/or. Cause and Effect. Means and |
D:Day36.19 | when it is stated as directly as it is being stated here. But our | time together is coming to an end and your acceptance of the truth of |
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 |
D:Day38.2 | We have not spoken much recently of love, but now it is | time to return to love. Do you know, can you feel as yet, how much I |
D:Day38.10 | your own is simply to claim possession for your own Self. Now it is | time to see me as your own God as well as God of all. Now it is time |
D:Day38.10 | is time to see me as your own God as well as God of all. Now it is | time to call me who I Am. |
D:Day39.2 | It is | time now to come to your own discovery of who I Am to you. No one can |
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, |
D:Day39.18 | thousands of other “things,” you separated from yourself only in | time and space. In time and space your projections became separate |
D:Day39.18 | “things,” you separated from yourself only in time and space. In | time and space your projections became separate and other than you. |

D:Day39.36 | Who Am I to you? Only who you are to yourself. Now it is | time for you to be not who you have been to yourself, but who you |

D:Day39.38 | This is a time of knowing who you are and who I Am while at the same | time, holding, or carrying, the mystery within you. That mystery is |
D:Day39.38 | mystery within you. That mystery is the tension of opposites. It is | time and eternity. Love and hate. Good and evil. In other words, All |
D:Day39.38 | of individuation, a tension that has existed since the beginning of | time, between time and eternity, between the attributeless love and |
D:Day39.38 | a tension that has existed since the beginning of time, between | time and eternity, between the attributeless love and the attribute |
D:Day39.39 | This is a | time of knowing you are not on your own but that you must come into |
D:Day39.41 | that the Christ in you learned. This is why we have had to enter the | time of non-learning—so that you accept that you do not have to try |
D:Day39.41 | have to try to learn the unlearnable. This is why we have left the | time of becoming behind, why you stand ready to enter the time of |

D:Day39.49 | into you but integrated into me. I could no more reach across | time and space without this relationship than could you. Only with |
D:Day40.9 | creative tension that has been in existence since the beginning of | time. It is creation in the making. What will be created now, and the |
D:Day40.10 | attributes, as all creations do once they are extended into form and | time. This is the nature of creation. Creation is about giving |
D:Day40.23 | and with love. You end your separated state and become for the final | time. You “become” being in union and relationship. |

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:Day7.7 | 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:Day7.11 | Conditions of the | time of acceptance are conditions of creation and include those we |

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 | 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 | from within. Life has always existed within the conditions of the | time of acceptance. The conditions of the time of learning were but |
D:Day7.19 | The conditions of the | time of acceptance that we have spoken of are thus not new |

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 |

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 |

time of judgment (2) |

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 |
T4:5.13 | 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 |
time of knowing (2) |
||
D:Day39.38 | This is a | time of knowing who you are and who I Am while at the same time, |
D:Day39.39 | This is a | time of knowing you are not on your own but that you must come into |
time of learning (69) |

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 |
T4:9.9 | 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 | 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:5.11 | 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:5.12 | 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: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:6.5 | 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:6.13 | 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:6.22 | 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: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: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:10.7 | 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: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:16.15 | 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:16.16 | 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:16.21 | 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: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:Day3.12 | 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:Day3.38 | What you have “learned,” and since the | time of learning had revealed to you, is a new way, the way of direct |
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:Day4.20 | In the | time of learning, however, it was natural that my example life was |
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:Day4.51 | 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: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:Day6.32 | 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: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:Day7.5 | 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:Day7.9 | 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:Day7.16 | 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:Day7.18 | 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 |
D:Day9.15 | As with most goals of the | time of learning, it was an ego-centered goal, a carrot of |
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: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 |
time of miracles (4) |
||
T1:4.27 | an end to fear and ushering in, with this ending, the beginning of a | time of miracles. |
T1:5.15 | It is in this way that you will enter a | time of miracles, put an end to suffering, and thus begin the return |
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. |
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. |
time of no time (3) |

C:20.13 | The time of parables has ended. A new | time of no time awaits. Nothing is like unto anything else. Likeness, |
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: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 |
time of parables (3) |

C:20.13 | The | time of parables has ended. A new time of no time awaits. Nothing is |
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 |
D:17.25 | This is why you have been told the | time of parables, or stories, has ended. This is why you have been |
time of realizing (2) |

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 |
A.39 | and I more so than has been the coursework up to this point. It is a | time of realizing that “I” am speaking to “you” directly in every |
time of revelation (2) |
||
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:Day2.5 | This is the | time of revelation of meaning. You who have so long striven to give |
time of sharing (2) |
||
T4:12.8 | intermediary in nature during the time of learning, are, during the | time of sharing, naturally converted to direct experiences of sharing. |
T4:12.12 | this statement was consistent with learned wisdom. During the new | time of sharing, there is no “next phase” of learning for you to move |
time of stillness (2) |
||
C:25.23 | When action is seen to be necessary, this is exactly when a | time of stillness is needed. You might think of this time of |
C:25.23 | exactly when a time of stillness is needed. You might think of this | time of stillness as a time of consulting with your new identity. |
time of teaching (2) |

C:28.6 | to cut through the mists of dawn. It is the middle of the journey, a | time of teaching and of learning both. It is the time of planting and |

C:24.4 | The | time of tenderness precedes the time of peace and is the forerunner |
C:24.4 | precedes the time of peace and is the forerunner of compassion. The | time of tenderness is thus the final learning ground before |
C:24.4 | accomplishment is complete. The learning that occurs during the | time of tenderness is learning from love. No lessons learned without |
C:25.1 | our first lesson in learning how to be engaged in life during the | time of tenderness. |
C:25.7 | of allowing giving and receiving to be one. It is, during the | time of tenderness, a true practice that, like vigilance, is a means |
C:25.8 | and of those for whom devotion is practiced, is useful during the | time of tenderness. It will lead to the understanding of oneness as |
C:25.12 | continuing belief in your separated and vulnerable state. During the | time of tenderness, you will learn, through the practice of devotion, |
C:25.13 | to flirt with risk and danger. It is simply your reality. During the | time of tenderness you may feel vulnerable. But the time of |
C:25.13 | During the time of tenderness you may feel vulnerable. But the | time of tenderness is a time of healing, and as you are healed you |
C:25.13 | recognizing your own state of being healed is a key purpose of the | time of tenderness. You cannot realize your true identity while 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 |
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 |
D:Day2.14 | been thoroughly discussed earlier. You have all been through the | time of tenderness, the time that preceded your giving and receiving |
A.14 | You are patient, loving, and kind. You have entered the | time of tenderness. You begin to hear what your feelings are saying |
time of the Holy Spirit (16) |
||
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 |
T3:17.7 | You were told in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought” that the | time of the Holy Spirit has ended and the time of the second coming |
T3:17.7 | followed their teachings and example. This has occurred within the | time of the Holy Spirit. |
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 |
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 |
T4:1.22 | 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 |
T4:1.27 | 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 |
T4:2.4 | Self. Jesus the man was the intermediary who ushered in the | time of the Holy Spirit by calling the Holy Spirit to possess the |
T4:7.2 | 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 | the direct and observable means now available. Just as in the | time of the Holy Spirit the spirit was available to all as |
T4:7.3 | 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 |
D:3.6 | Duality and contrast are synonymous. In the | time of the Holy Spirit, you learned through contrast. You learned |
D:Day3.35 | You have been told that the | time of the Holy Spirit, the time of a need for an intermediary |
A.19 | The way of the heart is the way of the Time of Christ. The | time of the Holy Spirit has passed. The time of the intermediary is |
time of the intermediary (3) |

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 | death. Being loosed of the body by death was the chosen means of the | time of the intermediary, the chosen means of attaining |
A.19 | of the Time of Christ. The time of the Holy Spirit has passed. The | time of the intermediary is over. The greatest intermediary of all |

C:32.5 | kind. Thus will all you have already received be remembered in this | time of the second coming of Christ. |
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 |
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 |
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 |
time of transition (2) |
||
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. |
time of unity (5) |
||
T2:6.2 | of learning that you refer to as time is the beginning of the | time of unity. |
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. |
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. |
D:Day8.27 | I have called this time both the | time of unity and the time of acceptance because you cannot only |
time of waiting (3) |
||
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 |
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:Day25.7 | This is a time of preparation, not a | time of waiting. What you need to know now cannot be gathered except |
time’s (1) |
||
D:Day7.7 | is it. Again I remind you, as within, so without. As you let go of | time’s hold on you, it will let go of you. Time will seem to expand |
time-bound (17) |
||
C:21.2 | meaning of eternity. This is because, as a particular being, you are | time-bound. You can realize the eternal even in your temporary form |
T3:12.3 | out of the realm of time. For this to happen, we must remove the | time-bound temptations of the human experience of the personal self. |
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 |
T3:12.5 | has been accomplished. However, while your consciousness remains | time-bound, your awareness is still limited. As has already been |
T3:12.5 | to remove the limits that continue to exist, we must remove all | time-bound temptations. |
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 |
T3:16.6 | within. As has already been said, this change has to do with the | time-bound temptations of the human experience. All of these |
D:7.7 | You have been told that you are | time-bound only as a particular self, existing as man or woman in a |
D:7.7 | to discover how to exist in form without being defined by this | time-bound particularity. |
D:7.19 | the New”, the future is yet to be created. While this seems like a | time-bound statement, it is not. It is merely one way of stating that |
D:7.20 | unity, with the entire field of creation, rather than only with the | time-bound field of creation of form. As your awareness grows, you |
D:7.21 | Evolution is the | time-bound way in which the body has participated in creation. This |
D:7.21 | This is why you have been told that you are not called to evolution. | Time-bound evolution is the way of the creature, the natural response |
D:7.21 | and of the creature’s perception of its own experience in time. This | time-bound evolution is really adaptation. It occurs in reaction to |
D:7.22 | Time-bound evolution is still surely going on, and as the planet | |
D:Day3.28 | survival of the ego-self, a trick that provided the small rewards of | time-bound evolution, the small rewards that would keep you assured |
D:Day28.18 | why it has been said that the changes that are to come are not about | time-bound evolution. Only this first change, this first |

T3:12.3 | out of the realm of time. For this to happen, we must remove the | time-bound temptations of the human experience of the personal self. |
T3:12.5 | to remove the limits that continue to exist, we must remove all | time-bound temptations. |
T3:16.6 | within. As has already been said, this change has to do with the | time-bound temptations of the human experience. All of these |
time-delay (1) |
||
D:Day8.29 | old thought system, not the new. This is thinking comprised of the | time-delay of the time of learning—of a time when you used your |
time-lapse (2) |
||
T2:4.17 | happening in unison. As the old goes, the new arrives. There is no | time-lapse in this learning and so it is a condition of miracle |
T2:7.20 | or a period of time between giving and receiving. There is not a | time-lapse between the recognition of needs and the meeting of needs. |
time-tables (1) |

T2:1.10 | realm of the one heart and one mind; the realm of the formless and | timeless. But also the realm of connectedness, of what binds all that |
D:10.1 | of the boundary of the personal self in the wider circle of unity is | timeless. What comes to you in the form of natural abilities or |
D:10.6 | The goal and relationship of the elevated Self of form is thus | timeless, for it draws from the realm of unity and returns to the |
D:17.22 | asked of you. Just as in the myths that are as ageless as they are | timeless, you are asked for something here. You are asked for a |
D:Day10.32 | leaders are called to champion or censor have their roots in | timeless and universal spiritual truths. It is the timeless and |
D:Day10.32 | their roots in timeless and universal spiritual truths. It is the | timeless and universal that you are called, in unity, to respond to |
times (101) |

C:P.17 | In all the history of the world, many have done good, heroic, and at | times miraculous deeds without the world changing from a place of |
C:2.3 | you choose: love and fear. Because you have chosen fear so many | times and labeled it so many things you no longer recognize it as |
C:3.7 | the qualities you have predetermined that they should possess at all | times and in all places. And so one disappoints and another |
C:4.21 | still find love behind the doors you have passed through so many | times in a journey spent earning your right to leave it no more. |

C:10.31 | not want to laugh when the urge to do so comes upon you, and other | times that after the slightest moment of expanded vision you will |

T1:5.9 | your existence that is real. Your heart as we have defined it many | times within this Course, must exist in the thought system that is |

T2:1.1 | You are all aware, at least at | times, that there are treasures that lie within you. What was once |
T2:4.2 | You are not only part of creation, but as has been said many | times, a creator, and as such a continuing act of creation. This does |

T2:7.21 | While as stated previously, this belief will at | times seem difficult to put into practice, and while your recognition |
T2:10.3 | of a dream, or an attempt to recall a specific event. At such | times, you often feel as if, just as the memory is about to return to |
T3:2.11 | such a thing there was a reason for you to have done so. How many | times have you asked yourself why you would have chosen separation if |
T3:4.7 | can dismantle the ego and build another in its place and this has at | times been done in the individual with great training, as in military |
T3:10.4 | beyond your wildest imagining. You will be surprised at how many | times you recognize blame where before you saw it not, just as in the |
T3:11.10 | While a lack of judgment has been stressed many | times, and we have adhered to the precept of not judging by denying |
T3:11.12 | illusion is not a hell to which anyone has been banished. It can at | times be a chosen hell, just as it can at times be a chosen heaven. |

T3:13.2 | self. While you may still feel a connection to God during such | times, you will not be dwelling within the peace of God. Your Self |
T3:13.2 | that of the physical experience and the personal self. In such | times you can conceive only of a God outside of yourself and trust |
T3:19.8 | and “bad” behavior have had great effects but they have not. At | times, the love that is received following suffering, or that may |

D:2.9 | It is because the patterns of old have at | times provided you with a false certainty that they are difficult to |

D:6.1 | text and the goal of its teaching was stated and restated many | times so that you would not forget the purpose of the learning you |

D:13.4 | means available to you within the state of unity will still seem, at | times, to need to be learned anew in daily living. This is knowing |
D:13.5 | a way that is actually natural to you, it will seem so foreign at | times that you will feel “blinded” by the light of knowing. You will |

D:16.18 | now, through the grace of God, you finally are. But this may also at | times be an image of a type, a construction of the subconscious, |
D:16.20 | you are not fully here, not whole, not complete. You are at | times who you are, but you also are, at times, but an image of who |

D:Day10.29 | suffering? Do they not dislike poverty? Are they not called upon at | times to take unpopular stands against popular leaders? Do not even |
D:Day10.31 | power. Do you think that my advocacy was a social statement for the | times in which I lived? Or do you not see that it is the same now as |
D:Day19.1 | the world as the accomplishment that is needed from you and yet at | times you compare yourselves to those who are able to live as who |
D:Day19.1 | within the world. You perhaps feel function-less and purposeless at | times, while at other times, you feel as if you are being exactly as |

D:Day28.6 | lives in such a different direction that it is both exciting and at | times excruciatingly difficult. Others reach a plateau of sorts and |
D:Day28.13 | have shown you that you are not in control in many ways and at many | times. Therefore, you think that you must take what life has to |

D:Day35.21 | least some role in the creation of your life. You may feel that at | times God has intervened, or that at times you have been a victim of |
D:Day35.21 | your life. You may feel that at times God has intervened, or that at | times you have been a victim of fate, but you are also aware of the |

C:3.15 | quickly. But none is more entrenched than this one, the one we begin | today to let fall away. |
C:10.13 | is that you are in union with your brothers and sisters, right now, | today. To believe in God without understanding God is one thing. To |
C:19.8 | I tell you truly if you were to see any of your brothers and sisters | today as those who awaited my birth saw me, they too would remember |
C:26.16 | Can you let the worries of | today leave your mind? Can you let the disappointments of yesterday |
T2:10.3 | and even say something such as “my brain just isn’t working right | today.” I want you now to keep this example in mind as we explore |
T3:13.7 | place to start because you can put this new idea into practice | today and every day by simply refusing the temptation to believe in |
T4:1.28 | This is the truth of the state of the world in which you exist | today. |
T4:12.1 | of the future through the sustainability of Christ-consciousness. | Today we join together to birth the new. |
D:1.2 | I come to you | today as co-Creator of the Self you are and the Self you hope to |
D:1.2 | Self you hope to represent with your physical form. I come to you | today not as a personal self who is “other” than you, but as a divine |
D:1.12 | be known within. It is to this state of grace that I call you now, | today: The state of grace of the newly identified child of God. |
D:5.19 | This is what we discuss | today. We discuss being what you represent in truth. We discuss the |
D:Day8.6 | that the conditions you did not like yesterday will be the same | today. |
D:Day9.8 | Today, I would like you to know freedom. | |
D:Day10.3 | to move from conviction to reliance. I am not asking you to do this | today any more than I am asking you to move from maintenance to |
D:Day10.3 | more than I am asking you to move from maintenance to sustainability | today, I am merely making you aware of this difference, just as I |
D:Day15.23 | that what you knew yesterday was as nothing to what you know | today, while at the same time, aiding in the realization that what |

C:P.26 | of families, the bloodlines and the ancestors, what holds the family | together as one is love. The family is, in fact, the only place where |
C:1.5 | you learn. Let this encourage you. This is an ability we can use | together to learn anew. |
C:3.11 | same lens. You think of it in the same way. You seek to gather it | together so that it will provide an improvement to what has been |
C:3.21 | not that these are senseless questions, made to bring love and pain | together and there to leave you unaided and unhelped, for pain and |
C:3.21 | and there to leave you unaided and unhelped, for pain and love kept | together in this way makes no sense, and yet makes the greatest sense |
C:4.3 | Love and longing are so intimately attached because they joined | together at the moment of separation when a choice to go away from |
C:4.14 | Your ideas of being in love are quite another category all | together. In this context love is not only full of sentiment but of |
C:4.26 | love is, safe and secure within you and your brother, as you join | together in truth. Think you not that this joining is a metaphor, a |
C:5.10 | Love gathered | together is a celebration. Love collected is but a mockery of love. |
C:8.24 | morning and completed each night. Each day is your creation held | together by the thought system that gave it birth. To observe this is |
C:8.25 | Everything is held | together by the thought system that gave birth to it. There are but |
C:9.37 | of completion. What is missing in you is found in another and | together a sense of wholeness is achieved. |
C:9.38 | you can be accomplished. You believe that by putting various parts | together a whole can be achieved. You speak of balance, and try to |
C:10.4 | not in separation but in the eternal wholeness in which God and you | together exist in truth. |
C:11.6 | separated from what you would have it be. Willingness and faith go | together. What you have faith in, you will see. This Course asks for |
C:11.7 | not necessarily of firm belief. You see free will and willingness | together and while they are the same, their application is quite |
C:12.1 | technical term, and say this is the stuff that binds the world | together in unity, it would be easier for you to accept. If I were to |
C:13.1 | with those of the others it interacts with, for they will be grouped | together in your observation of them. It will not be only others you |
C:13.1 | others you observe but yourself and others, placing you and “them” | together where you belong. This seeming togetherness of bodies is |
C:14.24 | You have thus placed love and heaven | together in a parody of creation’s meaning of each. Yes, they go |
C:14.24 | together in a parody of creation’s meaning of each. Yes, they go | together, and this you know; but the purpose of neither is what you |
C:15.8 | has been the cause of much suffering in your world. This banding | together for support against fear simply makes fear real, and the |
C:17.2 | of the universe and the return of heaven. Where two are joined | together can be used rightly here as well as in regard to |
C:17.18 | have different functions. And now your mind and heart must work | together in the united function we have established—returning to |
C:19.17 | those who view God as a solitary figure. Still, oneness and unity go | together, the unity of creation being part of the oneness of God, and |
C:21.5 | from different countries who do not understand each other, working | together momentarily diminishes the boundaries of language, and a |
C:22.4 | through material. Of itself, it can hold two pieces of material | together. With the addition of thread passed through the eye of the |
C:28.3 | this is the source of all proof. And so you believe coming | together to share common testimony validates the proof of inner and |
C:28.4 | Trust and bearing witness go | together, as the validation sought through bearing witness is a |
C:28.4 | so even were the intent of this Course to bring testimony | together in such a way as to cause an evolutionary step, it would not |
C:28.13 | is where difficulty lies. Certainty and ease as surely go | together. There are no more decisions for you to make. There is only |
C:29.10 | example of this. For you all know that work and service somehow go | together. In many cultures has work thus been glorified and made to |
C:29.20 | choice as your own. Choose anew and let the power of heaven come | together to seal the rift between your mind and heart, and make you |
C:30.13 | You are God’s image given form, as is all creation. We, all of us | together, are the heartbeat of the world. Without unity we would not |
T1:4.3 | words, a way of thinking, the new way that we are going to learn | together. They are the state of giving and receiving as one. They are |
T1:8.17 | and female, conception and action, inspiration and manifestation, | together into the wholehearted. |
T2:9.7 | are part of the same fabric—they are like puzzle pieces that fit | together. Other beings that share life with you on this planet are |
T2:13.5 | is given and received in equal exchange by all who in creation exist | together in oneness eternal. |
T2:13.6 | 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 a frightening |
T2:13.6 | a frightening task. Let fear go and walk with me now. Our journey | together is just beginning as we return to the premise put forth in |
T3:3.7 | love. Beliefs, and especially the changed beliefs we have worked | together to integrate into your thought system, are only a first |
T3:9.3 | ideas within the house of illusion were contained within it and held | together by the learned ideas of the ego thought system. Now you must |
T3:16.16 | All of these temptations worked | together in the thought system of the ego and created patterns that |
T3:16.16 | into the dust from which they came. The cement that was used to hold | together the house of illusion was only your fear. |
T3:21.7 | The only means for the personal self and the true Self to exist | together is for the truth to be lived in time. In order for the truth |
T3:21.15 | and your view of your personal self, are inextricably bound | together. In other words, the world you were born into, regardless |
T4:11.3 | for the sustainability of Christ-consciousness in which we exist | together as creators in unity and relationship. |
T4:12.1 | through the sustainability of Christ-consciousness. Today we join | together to birth the new. |
T4:12.31 | through the means to which you are accustomed. It will help us | together to establish the new patterns by which you and those who |
D:1.6 | different from the reality of old. Ideally, mind and heart in union | together accept this new reality and, with this acceptance, the heart |
D:1.27 | your acceptance of sanity and your rejection of insanity. We work | together in love and unity for what can only be received in the love |
D:1.27 | can only be received in the love and unity in which we truly exist | together, as one body, one Christ, one Self. |
D:2.23 | new and denial of the old is the necessary forerunner of our work | together in establishing the Covenant of the New? |
D:3.1 | The Covenant of the New is simply our agreement to proceed | together on the palm-strewn path of Christ-consciousness. It is a |
D:3.4 | in our normal conversation in this dialogue. I use them as I use | together the words accept and deny. As the old must be denied for the |
D:3.7 | Our first action in understanding what we are called | together to do is to begin to declassify all the various aspects of |
D:4.13 | The two patterns, the internal and the external, were created | together to exist in a complementary fashion. Both of these divine |
D:4.13 | creative time we are now entering. Thus far, we are merely working | together to create a pattern of acceptance to replace the pattern of |
D:5.19 | this starting point only can we move forward to the future we create | together. |
D:5.21 | what is is complete, we will go on to these questions of the new and | together we will find the answers. |
D:6.26 | Now that your Self has joined the elevated Self of form, you exist | together both in time and outside of time. Remember, the elevated |
D:6.28 | Form and time go | together. Yet you have been told time is a measurement of learning. |
D:9.8 | different aim toward which we now work. The aims we clearly embraced | together when you were still a learning being were meant to allow you |
D:9.8 | the Art of Thought” was but a forerunner to what we now will embrace | together. It was a means and an end. |
D:9.10 | we established what lies beyond learning. Now, as we embrace the new | together, it must be realized again and yet again, that the new |
D:11.13 | We are the sacred heart. As was said as we began this Dialogue, we, | together, are the well of spirit. We, together, are the shared |
D:11.13 | as we began this Dialogue, we, together, are the well of spirit. We, | together, are the shared consciousness of unity. In our union we bear |
D:13.11 | We come now to the second part of what we are exploring | together here, the idea that what you come to know may literally not |
D:15.8 | More movement. Only when movement, being, and expression came | together, however, was there light. Light might be seen, in this |
D:15.9 | understood, an example of the way in which these principles work | together. What I have left out of this story, the formless wasteland, |
D:16.1 | are. This is the stage in which movement, being, and expression come | together into the recreation of wholeness that will be expressed in |
D:17.26 | We will spend forty days and forty nights here | together, at the top of the mountain, fasting from want, becoming |
D:Day1.3 | We are here on the top of the mountain | together, beginning our work together. I am no longer your teacher, |
D:Day1.3 | We are here on the top of the mountain together, beginning our work | together. I am no longer your teacher, but there is a reason that you |
D:Day1.25 | but as with any true inheritance only in a series, only in a joining | together of all of the parts of the creation story into the wholeness |
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:Day4.1 | stage of our dialogue. We can argue here before we go on. We face | together here the temptations of these arguments, these temptations |
D:Day4.34 | on top of the mountain. What is this all about? Why have we gathered | together here? It is said that during my forty days and forty nights |
D:Day4.34 | and the new. You realize that this is the purpose of our time | together here even though you have not put this purpose into words |
D:Day4.38 | of the idea of the new world that can be, all of these must come | together and be victors over the reign of fear. |
D:Day4.39 | of the truth of who you really are, then our purpose of being | together here on this mountain top will go unfulfilled. |
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 |
D:Day36.19 | it is stated as directly as it is being stated here. But our time | together is coming to an end and your acceptance of the truth of who |
D:Day37.17 | Perception and knowing have been used | together here in describing the conditions of being because you must |
D:Day37.22 | was also created by Jesus Christ. Thus is the power of man and God | together, the power of creation. What this is saying is that there is |
D:Day39.12 | must be two beings for it to link (where two or more are joined | together). In other words, there must be a you and a me. In other |
D:Day40.10 | of love so intense she could never put words, music, or paint | together in such a way as to express it—she knows as she begins |
E.3 | be gone. This little note added to the end of our mountain top time | together is only here to help you realize and accept that this will |
A.31 | the rapidity of movement or lack thereof, to read the Treatises | together will likely feel as if it is almost a waste of valuable |
togetherness (3) |

C:29.11 | While this is neither good nor bad, this attitude of life as | toil is part of your rebellion against ideas of service. You have no |

C:29.16 | of special relationships. The idea of use created all ideas of | toil as the only means of having needs met. The idea of use created |

T1:10.7 | to give up all that would take peace from you. But as you have been | told before, you will be giving up nothing. It will seem as if it is |
T2:10.7 | While you are being | told that you can no longer believe that what you know is related to |
T2:10.7 | that what you know is related to experience, you are not being | told that you have exactly the same knowledge as does every person of |
T2:11.1 | The Christ in you is relationship. As you were | told within the pages of A Course of Love, you are a being who exists |
T2:13.1 | to be fulfilled under the mantle of individuality. You have been | told to put on a new mantle, a new identity. What does this mean? |
T3:5.1 | While you have just been | told that you now exist in a state of emptiness, this is not a state |

D:1.17 | This cannot be done through learning, for as you have been | told, learning was the means of the separated self’s return to unity. |
D:2.1 | and actions with which you have led your life thus far. You were | told within A Course of Love that willingness was all that was |
D:2.3 | naturally when you deny the patterns of the old. As you have been | told, you now “know what you do” and are no longer a victim to the |
D:5.8 | Obviously—as you have been | told that the ego has represented a false self—it is possible to |

D:6.9 | of science that would be opposed to them occurring. You would be | told that if the sun had “stood still” galactic catastrophes would |

D:7.7 | You have been | told that you are time-bound only as a particular self, existing as |
D:7.19 | bound by time as it is an ongoing aspect of creation. As you were | told in “A Treatise on the New”, the future is yet to be created. |
D:7.21 | the body has participated in creation. This is why you have been | told that you are not called to evolution. Time-bound evolution is |
D:8.2 | that comes easily to you, something you might have said or been | told you have a natural talent or ability to do. These things some of |

D:15.8 | only a speaker, the being, but the movement of sound. Then we are | told the content of the words: It was said, “Let there be light.” |

D:16.9 | You are alive. You have form. You think and feel. You have even been | told that you would cease to be without the existence of spirit, and |
D:16.13 | promised you. This is the creation of the new you that you were | told will precede the creation of the new world. This is what is |
D:17.12 | is the power that A Course of Love came to return to you. You were | told within this Course that wholehearted desire for union would |
D:17.20 | what you are feeling. You may wonder still, however, how you can be | told that you have arrived and are at your journey’s end and yet |
D:17.25 | This is why you have been | told the time of parables, or stories, has ended. This is why you |
D:17.25 | time of parables, or stories, has ended. This is why you have been | told: “As within, so without.” This is why you have been taken to the |
D:Day3.27 | mind 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 |
D:Day3.35 | You have been | told that the time of the Holy Spirit, the time of a need for an |
D:Day3.53 | Just as you were | told you cannot “think” great ideas into being, or great talent into |
D:Day3.53 | ideas into being, or great talent into fruition, just as you were | told, in other words, that the “givens” are not to be dealt with by |
D:Day4.13 | You have been | told that in unity a “place” exists that is your natural state, a |
D:Day4.13 | a state free from learning, a state free from death. To be | told that such a place exists is no more comforting than consoling |
D:Day4.13 | if you do not feel you have access to this place. It is like being | told that all of the treasure you might desire is locked away behind |
D:Day4.34 | I meditated or prayed. It is said that I fasted. You have been | told that you are here to fast from want. You know that you are here |
D:Day5.18 | and an end to effort, not another lesson to learn that you will be | told is not a lesson. Not another cause for seeming effort in order |
D:Day6.11 | You have been | told you are in the final stage of becoming. You have committed to |
D:Day6.15 | Yet realize that if you were | told to leave these worries behind and get away from it all, you |
D:Day6.29 | Now let’s address this seeming paradox. You have been | told to do only what you can feel peaceful doing, to d |
