T2:10.2 belief that has been replaced. This belief was first expressed in  A Course in Miracles by the saying resign as your own teacher. This
T3:22.5 The injunction that you resign as your own teacher originated in  A Course in Miracles and was furthered here. Along with this

T1:2.8 But again, as was stated often throughout  A Course of Love, an alternative exists. It did not exist when you
T1:2.11 indicated. All of these implications have been touched upon within  A Course of Love. The most essential of these implications is that of

T2:8.2 As was said within  A Course of Love, the one you come to know through relationship is
T2:8.6 It was said often within  A Course of Love that the truth does not change. Thus the truth of
T2:11.1 Christ in you is relationship. As you were told within the pages of  A Course of Love, you are a being who exists in relationship. This is
T2:12.9 relationship and the miracle waiting to happen. As we spoke within  A Course of Love of relationship being not one thing or another but a

T3:8.7 As was said in  A Course of Love, the idea of suffering is what has gone so wrong
T3:10.1  A Course of Love talked much of remembering. Now we must talk about
T3:16.5 We spoke once before within  A Course of Love of your impatience and of this Course acting as a
T4:2.23 pattern of your thinking. We have spoken of this within the text of  A Course of Love as your inability to realize the relationship that

D:17.12 That response is wholehearted desire, which is the power that  A Course of Love came to return to you. You were told within this

C:15.11 other whose special treatment of yourself you cannot live without or  abandon hope of receiving. And so you choose illusion over truth and
C:19.4 because heaven must be where you are. A wholehearted choice to  abandon all ideas of glorifying the separated self and to let the
T3:2.11 while perfectly believable, is not one that includes a need to  abandon your Self or God. Why should you be more inclined to believe
T3:20.9 are being told directly here that no circumstance should call you to  abandon them.
T3:20.10 the truth and to never deny it. To see no circumstance as cause to  abandon it. Yes, I am providing you with means to help you know how
T3:20.15 will work wherever it finds willingness. You cannot call others to  abandon their willingness to live in illusion by joining them there!
T4:12.9 Thus, if you have been religious,  abandon not your churches, for you will find within them now, direct
T4:12.9 sharing. If you have found guidance and comfort in the written word,  abandon not the written word, for the written word will now elicit

C:19.3 free will has not been taken from you, nor has the power of creation  abandoned you. Within creation’s own laws does the solution rest.
T3:2.11 God you believe you left in defiance, or the Self you believe you  abandoned there. Be truthful with yourself now and realize that what
T3:2.11 here is known to you. Realize that you know that it is not God who  abandoned you, but you who abandoned your Self and God. Give up your

C:20.16 There is no longer cause for alienation, nor for the feeling of  abandonment so many of you have felt. You are now within the embrace
T3:6.4 to be distrustful of your Self, beginning with the idea of your  abandonment here. Since the ego is a chosen self and a learned self,
A.22 demonstrated and shared is the perfect logic of the heart, and that  abandonment of the old way will not bring forth ruin but will bring

C:16.25 that if everyone cannot do what they would want, then you, too, must  abdicate your wishes for the common good. You thus behave in “noble”

C:9.45 All such confusion stems from your displacement of yourself and your  abdication of your power to the things that you have made.

C:1.13 of value. You are complete only within God, where you endlessly  abide. Striving to be that which you can never be is the hell you
C:4.20 you have made but must have another where you are at home and can  abide within love’s presence.
C:4.24 can allow a new world to be seen, a world that will allow you to  abide within love’s presence.
C:8.8 What foolishness to think love could  abide with companions such as these. If these be in your heart, where

C:13.7 to do is to become aware of spirit and to allow this awareness to  abide within you. If you feel resistance to attempting this exercise,
C:19.21 not go in search of it, and in truth, cannot, for the past does not  abide in you. What you need rather do is strive for a place of
T2:7.19 separate the false from the true, for your ego thoughts cannot long  abide in the holy place of your heart. Then, with truth and illusion
T3:14.2 prevail, for those dwelling in the House of Truth would not long  abide with such illusions, but the pattern of the old would not be
T4:4.12 I am calling you to everlasting consciousness even while you still  abide in form. To be cognizant or aware of everlasting consciousness

T4:4.15 is to abide in your natural state, a state of life-everlasting. To  abide in a state of separation is to abide in an unnatural state from
T4:4.15 a state of life-everlasting. To abide in a state of separation is to  abide in an unnatural state from which you eventually will seek
T4:4.16 Self in the reality in which you exist now. Remember, the heart must  abide in the reality where you think you are. Only through your
T4:7.4 Those who sustain Christ-consciousness will  abide within it free of judgment. They will not seek to create their
T4:7.4 version of a perfect world and to force it upon others, but will  abide within the perfect world that is in the vision of
T4:7.5 a heart and mind joined in unity, your body too will exist or  abide within this natural state. It cannot help to, as it, just like
T4:12.14 in the hopes that it would bring you to the state in which you now  abide! You dreaded each learning challenge because you feared that it
T4:12.28 What this means will be revealed to you and shared by all who  abide within Christ-consciousness because you abide in a
T4:12.28 and shared by all who abide within Christ-consciousness because you  abide in a consciousness of unity through your choice.
T4:12.29 continually choose unity, because you have already chosen unity and  abide there. You do, however, have to refrain from choosing
D:7.2 aspect of creation and thus of the state of union in which you truly  abide.

C:4.24 worship, within you has love’s holiness been protected, within you  abides the Host who loves all dearly. Within you is the light that

C:31.26 and experience to truth, and thus to your mind. Only the truth  abides within your mind, for only it can enter the holy altar you
T1:5.9 all seeking must turn within, toward the heart where the real Self  abides. There is nothing else that will free who you are but freedom
T2:3.3 resides. Remember always that your heart is where the Christ in you  abides and that the Christ is your identity. Remember that it is the
T3:2.11 to turn the image you have made into a reflection of the love that  abides with it in holiness that is beyond your current ability to
T3:15.10 in unity. The holy relationship is with the Self, the Self that  abides in unity with all within the House of Truth. This relationship

T2:1.9 the desires you may have once identified as hoping to develop into  abilities, are given a structure and form in your thinking of them. A
T2:6.5 I speak. You believe that your treasures only become accomplished  abilities within time. You believe that your treasures only become
T2:6.5 have passed beyond the time it takes for those treasures to become  abilities. Thus all that you might wish to accomplish stands separate

D:1.3 through lack of intelligence—through lack, in other words, of  abilities of the personal self. As long as you “see” such visions,
D:8.4 science might have to say to you about the source of such talents or  abilities, you have known that they are not of the body.

C:4.12 great, but must it not be tempered by good judgment? And surely that  ability to guide others must be earned through the acquisition of
C:4.18 to do with your work life, your issues of survival here, your  ability to achieve success, or the state of your health and general
C:5.21 hell into heaven, insanity to peace. You do not yet understand your  ability to choose that which you make real in your creation of the
C:5.23 to eventually succeed. This is the extent of your faith in your own  ability to maneuver this world that you have made; and if you finally
C:10.27 You will soon develop an  ability to see without your body’s eyes. This, too, will seem like a

C:20.40 given, the judgment changes the nature of the gift by limiting its  ability to be of service. A gift one feels one cannot “use” is
C:20.46 inadequacy and smallness with your willingness to believe in your  ability and mightiness. Remember not your ego concerns and remember
C:23.18 that do not serve you, because they were created to serve you. The  ability to imagine is such a capability, freely and equally given to
C:25.7 you feel as if the “other” gives you nothing. Yet it is your lack of  ability to receive that causes this feeling. The practice of devotion

C:29.5 Your return to unity is your return to your full power and your  ability to be of quite literal service to God and your brothers and

T1:1.4 as well as the concept of memory, implies mindfulness and the  ability to reproduce or recall both what has been learned and what

T2:7.9 means through which interaction is real, the only source of your  ability to change that which you would change.
T2:7.11 The only thing that will prevent this is your  ability to go out into the world and remain who you are. This relates
T2:7.11 the old pattern, a pattern that has been proven to not have any  ability to change the world.
T2:7.21 being one in truth, your belief will become true conviction. Your  ability to recognize giving and receiving as one becomes simply an

T2:9.3 kept secure and cherished. This aspect of treasure relates to your  ability to let go. As many of you will find the idea of letting go of
T2:9.3 the most difficult of ideas contained in this course of study, the  ability to let go must be further discussed.

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

T2:11.15 but reveal to you a fraction of the power of your thinking and its  ability to shape the world you see?
T2:12.2 Miracles cannot be used, and so your learning needed to include an  ability to distinguish between service and use. Service, or devotion,

T3:7.3 ideas about yourself have their cause within you, as does your  ability to change this cause and its effects.

T3:13.4 would but seem to tempt you, you have believed in them and their  ability to affect you. You have unlearned many of these lessons and
T3:13.4 see love where it is not and to not see fear where it is. But your  ability to distinguish between love and fear as cause is all that is
T3:14.12 You might think of this in terms of nature and look upon nature’s  ability to correct itself. You are a part of nature. Your body can

T3:17.8 illusion. Without this means of communication with the ego-self the  ability to learn the truth could not have returned to you. The “time”

T3:22.4 injunction to resign as your own teacher. The other is the  ability to cease all acts of comparison.
T3:22.11 The  ability to cease all acts of comparison will arise out of this
T4:2.15 The  ability to observe what the Self expresses was among the original

T4:5.13 is true right now! For this is the time of Christ and thus of your  ability to choose Christ-consciousness, the consciousness returned to
T4:7.1 will be temporary or sustainable depending on your  ability to refrain from judgment. What is flows from Love and knows
T4:7.7 an end to your learning is in sight. Christ-consciousness and the  ability to know what is, once it has reached a state of
T4:8.6 from your own true nature, which in turn caused a disconnect in your  ability to express love, which in turn caused a disconnect in your
T4:8.6 ability to express love, which in turn caused a disconnect in your  ability to know God, because you did not know yourself.
T4:8.15 by it? Is not the very essence of consciousness itself this  ability to come to know continuously? To be aware constantly of what
T4:10.10 and relationship to your mind and heart. This returned to you your  ability to recognize or identify your Self as other than a separate
T4:10.11 being accomplished, is synonymous with knowing who you are and the  ability to express who you are in truth.
T4:12.17 This is just a beginning point of your  ability to see what learned wisdom has wrought. This is a necessary

D:3.5 lives with a split mind could never do. You have it within your  ability to mend the rift of duality, a state that was necessary for

D:5.2 you assigned meaning or “truth” to things, truly believing in your  ability to do so. You thus determined what the world around you was
D:8.2 bound by this constraint. In all of your life, you can think of no  ability you have not achieved through learning. And yet most of you
D:8.2 you might have said or been told you have a natural talent or  ability to do. These things some of you have practiced or studied to

D:8.10 to express yourself in the past is very likely linked to the natural  ability or talent you did not have to learn, to that which was given
D:8.12 place of shared consciousness, the place of wholeness. The natural  ability that you recognize as a given and unlearned aspect of your
D:9.14 circle and accept that your discovery of your natural talent or  ability and your discovery of new ideas are discoveries of something

D:14.13 to be recognized. Once recognized it will begin to be regarded as an  ability. And finally, through experience, it will become your

D:Day1.1 Christian faith. To others it will seem an acceptance beyond your  ability, an acceptance that there is no real cause to request. Why
D:Day1.8 Why are we so linked that your  ability to know your Self is contingent upon your ability to know me?
D:Day1.8 linked that your ability to know your Self is contingent upon your  ability to know me? Because I am. This is akin to saying Love is. I
D:Day3.7 change your inner life, but are more skeptical in regard to its  ability to affect your outer life; and nowhere are you more skeptical

D:Day4.7 evolution, has not left any of you. You all begin life without the  ability to think in the terms you now associate almost exclusively
D:Day4.9 The  ability to learn is given to all in like measure. The conformity of
D:Day5.11 between unity and love and that difference would seem to be love’s  ability to be given away.
D:Day6.15 to come first, lack of cause for worry will have to come first, an  ability to focus on other than daily life will have to come first.
D:Day6.27 As your belief grows in our  ability to accomplish together our given task, you are almost surely
D:Day6.30 of seeming difficulty is an end to difficulty and the growth of your  ability to do whatever you do peacefully and to be who you are in any

D:Day7.20 access to union and thus your certainty, goes hand-in-hand with your  ability to live in the present. This ability is also contingent upon
D:Day7.20 goes hand-in-hand with your ability to live in the present. This  ability is also contingent upon your recognition of what certainty

D:Day9.4 feel confident in your feelings, who do not feel confident in your  ability to respond, who do not as yet feel the freedom of the new,
D:Day9.5 the certainty of unity if the self of form has no confidence in its  ability to express it? Expression of the certainty of unity is what
D:Day9.6 of what your mind would think or heart would feel. But take away the  ability to express what the mind would think or heart would feel, and
D:Day9.16 as well as those of the ego. The idea of your “potential” and your  ability to be “more” than what your limited view of yourself would
D:Day9.24 Your freedom is contingent upon your  ability to give up your images, particularly the image you hold of an
D:Day9.24 the image you hold of an ideal self. It is contingent upon your  ability to accept that you are your ideal self. Yes, even right now,
D:Day9.27 that has caused your grief and pretensions. In a certain sense, your  ability to express the beauty and truth of who you are has been
D:Day10.1 Power is the  ability to be cause and effect. It is the ability to harness the
D:Day10.1 Power is the ability to be cause and effect. It is the  ability to harness the cause and effect power of love. It is a
D:Day10.14 and proof that you are “right” before you feel confidence and the  ability to act. To “know” before you act is wise. But to think that
D:Day14.1 we heal now by calling on wholeness, accepting the healed self’s  ability to be chosen while not encountering resistance or any
D:Day15.11 observance in every situation, it is necessary to practice the  ability to inform and be informed with others who have reached this
D:Day15.12 being informed? It means to join together with others who have the  ability to maintain Christ-consciousness in your company. This
D:Day15.24 without being divided. As you re-enter life on level-ground, this  ability to carry an undivided but spacious consciousness with you
D:Day15.26 are made known, your purpose here will become more clear. Thus your  ability to embrace all while focusing on your own purpose in being
D:Day15.28 being an idealized form of the self. Now are you ready, through your  ability to view your own Self as well as that which you observe with
D:Day17.10 by many other individuals as well. The way was a choice. The main  ability of the individual is the ability to represent what God
D:Day17.10 The way was a choice. The main ability of the individual is the  ability to represent what God created, the means of coming to know—
D:Day27.1 of your life, of keeping it within your understanding, within your  ability to come to know, within your own grasp of it. You have been
D:Day27.5 because you have practiced during our mountain top time together the  ability to experience on two levels.
D:Day27.6 and spirit, both form and content. Now you contain within you the  ability to combine both levels of being through the experience of

D:Day27.10 To be able to hold onto, apprehend, and carry with you the  ability to experience both levels of experience, the internal and the
D:Day28.20 that needs to occur, however. What will create the shift is the  ability to experience “time outside of time” and “time”
D:Day29.1 cease to be separate. Remember that you have already realized the  ability to participate in two levels of experience simultaneously and
D:Day31.8 separation. The acceptance of what is is the Source of union and the  ability to experience in wholeness.
D:Day32.19 however, a being that exists in relationship. The extent of your  ability to be in relationship is the extent of your ability to be
D:Day32.19 extent of your ability to be in relationship is the extent of your  ability to be god-like.
D:Day40.30 With this  ability to individuate in unity and relationship comes the greatest
D:Day40.30 and the beginning of being who you are. With this gift comes the  ability to be known and to know. Can you give up the ideal of your
A.4 the realm of perception by appealing to the heart and the heart’s  ability to learn in a new way. You are thus instructed not to apply
A.33 to be recognized. Once recognized it will begin to be regarded as an  ability. And finally, through experience it will become your
A.49 the world. It cannot be accomplished without you—without your  ability to stand in unity and relationship as The Accomplished.

T3:10.7 learning and unlearning that was spoken of earlier will be  able to be realized. You have passed through your time of unlearning
T3:10.9 The first step in being  able to forget such thoughts is in recognizing them as separate and

T3:20.7 happening in relationship and that the relationship is meaningful or  able to cause effect. You can’t imagine not feeling “bad” given such

T3:22.2 feel eagerness to share it and joy whenever and wherever you are  able to do so. But some of you will find that you do no more than

T4:1.23 You may have thought it advantageous to have once been so clearly  able to see the contrast between good and evil and feel now as if
T4:1.27 Let me repeat that during the time of the Holy Spirit, some were  able to come to know themselves and God through the indirect means of

D:8.4 this ability was a “given.” That you are gifted—given to—and  able to receive. And despite what science might have to say to you

D:Day6.23 often it is only when the teacher steps aside, and the apprentice is  able to gain experience, that the apprentice is in a position to be
D:Day6.23 able to gain experience, that the apprentice is in a position to be  able to begin to perform with any certainty. Even learning is
D:Day6.31 as trial by fire. Be encouraged rather than discouraged that you are  able to embrace this dialogue and remain in your life. Realize that
D:Day8.17 by doing so will you come to full acceptance of who you are and be  able to allow the Self of unity to merge with the self of form, thus

D:Day15.5 of observance of the physical and the obvious, you began to be  able to see beyond the physical and the obvious to what could not be
D:Day15.13 guidance. The first step is to access your own readiness. Are you  able to be a clear pool? If not, what prevents you? Do not be too
D:Day15.20 As the clear pool merges with the current of other clear pools it is  able to change directions, see new sights, gain new insights. While
D:Day15.24 this time is also a beginning to the practice of realizing and being  able to accept a certain duality. Without necessarily realizing it,

D:1.16 What I will help you now to do is to reject this insanity and to  accept the perfect sanity of the truth.
D:1.24 does not contain you. What you are going to find happening, as you  accept your true identity, is a transference of purpose concerning
D:1.26 know things that you know not. This is not the case. When you fully  accept this, you will see that it is true. Like the acceptance of
D:2.1 You are now asked to do two things simultaneously: To  accept the new and to deny the old. Acceptance is a willingness to
D:2.2 To deny is to refuse to  accept as true or right that which you know is not true or right.
D:2.2 just as means and end, cause and effect are one. You are asked to  accept or receive the truth of who you are and the revelations that

D:2.7 is not a judgment but simply the truth. To learn the truth and not  accept it is different from learning what is necessary for a career.
D:2.7 learning what is necessary for a career. To learn the truth and not  accept the truth is insane. To learn the truth and not accept the
D:2.7 truth and not accept the truth is insane. To learn the truth and not  accept the completion of your learning is insane.

D:4.11 and learned enough during your time as a learning being that you  accept that a divine design created the universe and all that is in

D:5.11 Remember now that you are not called to reinterpret but to  accept revelation. You will not arrive at the truth through thinking

D:6.24 This is an easy answer, as you have already called upon the body to  accept the indwelling of Christ. You have replaced the personal self,
D:6.28 transformation of the self from a learning being to a being that can  accept the shared consciousness of unity and begin to discover what
D:7.8 form does not require you to be defined by particularity. You can  accept the body now as what it is in all its manifestations while not

D:11.8 your idea of how these words have come to you, for if you can fully  accept the way in which these words have been given and received, you
D:11.8 words have been given and received, you will see that you can fully  accept the way of unity.

D:Day1.3 state. Without your acceptance of who I am, you will not fully  accept who you are. Without your willingness to achieve this
D:Day1.4 language for another, are these requirements waived? Let us just  accept that requirements are prerequisites for many states you value.
D:Day1.5 you believe and have found a connection to eternal life, only to  accept me as who I am.
D:Day1.7 If you are to succeed me, you must  accept me, much as you must accept your ascension to this mountain
D:Day1.7 If you are to succeed me, you must accept me, much as you must  accept your ascension to this mountain peak and this dialogue that is

D:Day1.7 source, you will not know me nor accept me, and you will not know or  accept your Self.
D:Day1.10 the truth about outer space, I believe in my abilities; but I do not  accept the spacecraft as necessary.” Lest this example fail to move
D:Day1.11 you may see this example as an example of why you should not need to  accept me. You may claim that you understand that this power is of
D:Day1.15 devotion to one religious tradition or another matters not. That you  accept that I am he who can lead you beyond your life of misery to
D:Day1.24 within you. It only needs to be lived to become real. You must  accept me because I lived it and made it real for you. You must
D:Day1.24 must accept me because I lived it and made it real for you. You must  accept me because I am the part of you that can guide you beyond what
D:Day1.28 Lay aside your want of other answers, other stories, and  accept the story we share. The Bible and all holy texts can be seen
D:Day2.3 But I realize that you have not as yet developed the capacity to  accept this fully. For most of you, much of what you have considered
D:Day2.11 time for acceptance, even of these actions that you would rather not  accept. They happened. They were what they were. I ask you not to
D:Day2.12 actions led to divorce and the destruction of your home, can you not  accept that this is something that happened? We leave aside, for the
D:Day2.15 But just as you are called here to  accept me despite possible misgivings such as religious beliefs, you
D:Day2.15 possible misgivings such as religious beliefs, you are called to  accept yourself. This unconditional acceptance is necessary. I will
D:Day2.17 of you the crucifixion is among the reasons you hesitate to fully  accept me. It is hard for you to believe that my suffering was
D:Day2.26 But this will not happen if you cling to suffering. If you do not  accept your Self, all of yourself, you cling to suffering.
D:Day2.27 This is why you first needed to  accept me. To accept me is to accept the end of suffering. To accept
D:Day2.27 This is why you first needed to accept me. To  accept me is to accept the end of suffering. To accept the end of
D:Day2.27 This is why you first needed to accept me. To accept me is to  accept the end of suffering. To accept the end of suffering is to

D:Day2.27 to accept the end of suffering. To accept the end of suffering is to  accept your true Self.
D:Day3.1  Accept your anger for it is the next step in the continuum upon which
D:Day3.2 are familiar with. In the area of the mind were you most willing to  accept teachers, leaders, guides, authorities, for only through them
D:Day3.7 increased stillness, will give you more peace, your mind that will  accept comfort of a certain type, even extending to a new
D:Day3.15 Yet how can you  accept yourself when you have feelings such as these? How can you
D:Day3.15 accept yourself when you have feelings such as these? How can you  accept the idea of inheritance with ideas such as these? How do you
D:Day3.15 accept the idea of inheritance with ideas such as these? How do you  accept me when you see me as symbolizing a life of “godly” poverty,
D:Day3.25 will come another’s loss. In other words, here is where you must  accept the teachings of this Course.
D:Day3.27 I do not ask you to give up what you desire, but to expect and  accept a response to what you desire. Remember that we are headed
D:Day3.54 shared. What good would it do you to say “if I had talent,” I would  accept and receive it, express and share it. “If I had a great idea,”
D:Day3.54 receive it, express and share it. “If I had a great idea,” I would  accept and receive it, express it and share it. And yet you continue
D:Day3.54 you continue to think that if you had money or abundance, you would  accept and receive it, express it and share it.
D:Day3.58 into an alternative reality, the reality of union—because you  accept that reality.
D:Day3.59 within this Course, this is a matter of all or nothing. You cannot  accept part of one reality and part of another. You cannot accept,
D:Day3.59 cannot accept part of one reality and part of another. You cannot  accept, for instance, the compassionate and loving benevolence of the
D:Day3.59 benevolence of the universe, of God, of the All of All, and still  accept the reality of lack. You cannot accept that in the reality of
D:Day3.59 of the All of All, and still accept the reality of lack. You cannot  accept that in the reality of unity all things come to you without
D:Day3.59 come to you without effort or striving except money. You cannot  accept that you no longer have to learn and accept the condition of
D:Day3.59 except money. You cannot accept that you no longer have to learn and  accept the condition of learning that is want.
D:Day4.44 again delayed. Here is where you say, I want it all, desire it all,  accept it all—for you cannot have of this in parts. Once full
D:Day4.50 This may seem odd timing as you have just been asked to  accept your anger. Just think. Anger was discussed rather casually
D:Day4.50 abundance no more so than the acceptance of anger. You are called to  accept and not look back, not to dwell in any of the states through
D:Day4.50 of one thing over another. You are not to label good or bad. Just to  accept. Accept all. You do not have to hesitate here because you
D:Day4.50 over another. You are not to label good or bad. Just to accept.  Accept all. You do not have to hesitate here because you think you
D:Day4.50 not accepted but dwell with the cause of your hesitation. When you  accept you move on.
D:Day4.51 answer now as to what is stopping you. Do you choose to dwell or to  accept? All, all you cannot bring forward with you is fear, for fear
D:Day4.55 the prodigal son. All that the prodigal son was asked to do was to  accept his own homecoming. Do you think he would have considered
D:Day4.55 father’s presence? Surely he would not have. You are asked but to  accept your own homecoming. To leave behind the time of wandering,
D:Day5.20 languor enfold you and apply no effort to what you read here. Just  accept what is given. All that is being given is the helpful hints
D:Day6.31 toward! This difficulty will pass through you as you allow for and  accept where you are right now and who you are right now.
D:Day7.5 time of learning was not one of support but one of effort. You must  accept, now, that the pattern of learning is an extension of fear and
D:Day7.5 our goal is the elevation of form. If for no other reason, begin to  accept this support of form because it makes sense. It is logical.
D:Day8.2 but to join with it? Love it. Love yourself. Love yourself enough to  accept yourself. Love will transform normal, ordinary, life into
D:Day8.3 of what you do not like. Do you really think you are being called to  accept “normal life?” Called to accept those conditions that have
D:Day8.3 really think you are being called to accept “normal life?” Called to  accept those conditions that have made you feel unhappy? No! You are
D:Day8.4 stem from the details of your life. Even so, you are not called to  accept what you do not like, but to accept that you don’t like
D:Day8.4 Even so, you are not called to accept what you do not like, but to  accept that you don’t like whatever it is you don’t like. Then, and
D:Day8.5 Do you judge peas if you do not like them? And yet, do you not  accept that you are at the mercy of situations of all kinds? A job
D:Day8.5 that you do not like it, but you may just as often say that you  accept it. You may, in fact, need a job that you do not like, but in
D:Day8.7 and in this confusion have been “trying” and even “struggling” to  accept what you do not like in order to be more true to an ideal
D:Day8.7 Yet this ideal self is not the self you are right now. You cannot  accept only an ideal self. This is nonsense. Can you not see this?
D:Day8.9 have felt that to say you do not like it is to judge it, or that to  accept what is, is to accept that people gossip. These false ideas
D:Day8.9 you do not like it is to judge it, or that to accept what is, is to  accept that people gossip. These false ideas about acceptance may
D:Day8.9 situation, will enable you not to participate, judge, or appear to  accept that which you do not truly find acceptable.
D:Day8.13 showing your righteous contempt for the actions of others, but to  accept who you are within the relationship of that present moment.
D:Day8.14 will have remnants of righteousness attached to it if you do not  accept the feelings generated by it. You may know that you dislike
D:Day8.17 a reason for this discussion coming so late in our time together. To  accept the feelings of the self of illusion would have been to accept
D:Day8.17 To accept the feelings of the self of illusion would have been to  accept the feelings generated by the fear of the ego thought system
D:Day8.17 system or the bitterness of your heart. It would have been to  accept the feelings of a personal self who had not yet unlearned the
D:Day8.19 see only the truth, to see beyond illusion, and then to be told to  accept the feelings of others? It should not. While true compassion
D:Day8.21 will no longer be the source of the misdirection of the past if you  accept your feelings in present time and begin to be aware of your
D:Day8.28 be to realize you have no need to do this! How freeing it will be to  accept all of your feelings and not to puzzle over which are true and
D:Day9.20 we are doing here together. For if you believe this, you will not  accept your Self as you are. If you do not accept your Self as you
D:Day9.20 this, you will not accept your Self as you are. If you do not  accept your Self as you are, you will not move from image to
D:Day9.21 would seek to follow their teachings. This desire of “followers” to  accept an image is less prevalent now but still a common danger.
D:Day9.24 you hold of an ideal self. It is contingent upon your ability to  accept that you are your ideal self. Yes, even right now, with all
D:Day9.27 of who you are by being alive. It has only been your inability to  accept this that has caused your grief and pretensions. In a certain
D:Day10.12 access to unity may be less difficult for you to become aware of and  accept than the confidence in the self of form that must accompany
D:Day10.20 not to give up your relationship with me as the man Jesus, but to  accept that the man Jesus was simply a representation, in form, of
D:Day14.10 is real and in our realization of the reality of relationship, we  accept our relationship to the unexplainable.
D:Day15.1 know on your own you will have entered the dialogue. When you fully  accept that the voice of the one can be heard in the voice of the
D:Day15.2 by you. We have just spoken of the unknown and your willingness to  accept your relationship with it in order for you to come to know it.
D:Day15.16 judgment with neutrality or acceptance. Allowing others to  accept you as you are is a gift that releases them from judgment and
D:Day15.17 to not knowing is through stagnating in a “known” place. To cease to  accept the unknown is to cease to come to know.
D:Day15.24 is also a beginning to the practice of realizing and being able to  accept a certain duality. Without necessarily realizing it, your
D:Day16.1 the unknown, is full consciousness. Acceptance is key. You can’t  accept what you fear.
D:Day16.11 or control you can alter the situation for the better. Only when you  accept that no feelings are bad will you allow yourself to come to
D:Day18.5 light in darkness provides for a knowing of light. Those who  accept completion of the way of Jesus accept their power to be
D:Day18.5 a knowing of light. Those who accept completion of the way of Jesus  accept their power to be generators of light in darkness without
D:Day18.5 of light in darkness without judging or expelling darkness. They  accept their power to represent both the known and the unknown and to
D:Day18.5 and the unknown and to reveal the unknown through the known. They  accept the death of the self and the resurrection of the One Self,
D:Day21.3 The receiver was thus also the source because the receiver had to  accept or “give” what was offered, to herself.
D:Day21.9 as a teacher in order to bring you to the place of being willing to  accept that a teacher was not needed. He joined you on the mountain
D:Day22.9 of your union with God and to the new world you can create once you  accept and make real this union.
D:Day28.16 internal rather external conditions. It makes no sense, however, to  accept what is not the truth. Most of what is not the truth has been
D:Day35.19 thought of creating as God creates. You have barely been able to  accept the thought of the miracle!
D:Day36.15 creativity and knowing or perception is to be one in being with God.  Accept this, for this is what God is and what you are. This is being.
D:Day36.16 that you are one in being with God and different in relationship you  accept the power of being, or individuating God. You accept the power
D:Day36.16 you accept the power of being, or individuating God. You  accept the power of God. You become powerful.
D:Day36.18 by God whom you have always been one with in being. You simply  accept the truth of being and the truth of being in union and
D:Day36.18 Both/and rather than either/or. Cause and Effect. Means and End. You  accept the end of choice and the beginning of creation.
D:Day36.19 for you to be able to reach this place where you may be able to  accept this new idea which is simply the truth. It is the same truth
D:Day39.9 and individuation requires relationship. Thus you must now  accept yourself as Christ, or as the bridge of relationship between
D:Day39.11 who we both are, is all that is required. The relationship that you  accept with me is the relationship of union, for union is no more
D:Day39.41 is why we have had to enter the time of non-learning—so that you  accept that you do not have to try to learn the unlearnable. This is
D:Day40.23 Now, as you recognize, acknowledge, and  accept the Christ as the Self you have been in relationship with, you
D:Day40.27 Is this really so difficult, so improbable, so discomfiting to  accept? Does it become less difficult if you remember who I Am? That
E.3 our mountain top time together is only here to help you realize and  accept that this will be so. Do not expect difficulties and they will

A.13 Through receptivity, what your mind finds difficult to  accept, your heart accepts with ease. Now you are ready to question

A.18 to accept. To give up effort for receptivity is more than some can  accept. Why? Because it is too difficult. It goes against all you

D:Day1.7 source, you will not know me nor accept me, and you will not know or  accept your Self.
D:Day2.26 But this will not happen if you cling to suffering. If you do not  accept your Self, all of yourself, you cling to suffering.
D:Day9.20 we are doing here together. For if you believe this, you will not  accept your Self as you are. If you do not accept your Self as you
D:Day9.20 this, you will not accept your Self as you are. If you do not  accept your Self as you are, you will not move from image to

acceptable (13)

C:P.26 is, in fact, the only place where unconditional love is seen as  acceptable. Thus, no matter how good one child is perceived to be and
C:P.26 not earn the love that is given him or her, and this too is seen as  acceptable and even “right.”
C:P.41 your own self in this same frame of mind? It is a nice fairytale, an  acceptable myth, but until your body’s eyes can behold the proof,
C:7.21 who have developed reliance on ways of knowing not governed by the  acceptable senses are seen as suspect. And yet you accept many causes
C:18.17 the norm, and thoughts that dart about in a chaotic fashion are as  acceptable and seemingly as inevitable to you as breathing. A split

D:Day8.9 judge, or appear to accept that which you do not truly find  acceptable.
D:Day8.26 presenting to the world, the self you believed the world would find  acceptable. If you are still presenting this self, you are still in a
D:Day15.11 rather than sustenance of Christ-consciousness. This is an  acceptable state for this time of limited practice with those with
D:Day15.11 you are engaged in this specific mountain top dialogue. It is not an  acceptable state for full-scale interaction with the world. Although
D:Day15.22 are ready to be boundary-less and spacious selves is appropriate and  acceptable.

T2:4.14 is not the goal that has been set. Accepting who you are includes  acceptance of creation. The acceptance of creation is the acceptance
T2:4.14 been set. Accepting who you are includes acceptance of creation. The  acceptance of creation is the acceptance of change and growth but
T2:4.14 includes acceptance of creation. The acceptance of creation is the  acceptance of change and growth but neither of these are concepts
T2:6.7 level. But what these exercises have prepared you for is an  acceptance of the ongoing change that is creation; an acceptance that
T2:6.7 you for is an acceptance of the ongoing change that is creation; an  acceptance that something can be what it is, a known fact, an object
T2:7.10 this Course has not called you to a static state of sameness, an  acceptance of who you are that does not allow for change. But once
T2:7.20 state of unity. As with the recognition of your accomplishment, the  acceptance of the belief that giving and receiving are one in truth
T2:8.5 A new type of  acceptance is required here, one not previously asked or expected of
T2:8.5 here, one not previously asked or expected of you. This is an  acceptance that you know your own truth and an acceptance that that
T2:8.5 of you. This is an acceptance that you know your own truth and an  acceptance that that truth will not change. As we have said that you
T2:8.5 will not change. As we have said that you are not called to a static  acceptance that does not include change, this new idea of acceptance
T2:8.5 a static acceptance that does not include change, this new idea of  acceptance requires further clarification.
T2:8.6 order for you to accept the truth of who you are and to come to an  acceptance of the unchangeable nature of this truth. This is akin to
T2:8.6 truth. This is akin to being done with seeking. This is the final  acceptance that you have “found” and that you have been found. You
T2:8.6 truth as you take a new path. Your path now is sure and its final  acceptance necessary. You are the prodigal sons and daughters who
T2:11.7 must be recreated from the belief in unity that is inherent in the  acceptance that you are a being who exists in relationship.
T2:12.4 will but free the will to respond to truth. They are the ultimate  acceptance of giving and receiving being one in truth.
T2:12.11 This metaphor is akin to  acceptance of the holy relationship. It is acceptance of what occurs
T2:12.11 This metaphor is akin to acceptance of the holy relationship. It is  acceptance of what occurs with the joining of many factors, one no
T3:2.11 have relied upon. This thought system has allowed only the  acceptance of a reality within certain parameters, for it has not
T3:8.13 while you have accepted that it is? Let us now put an end to this  acceptance through the birth of a new idea.
T3:10.5 what you will find will come in the place of blame is an idea of  acceptance of what is, an idea that is needed now.
T3:10.6  Acceptance of what is, is acceptance that whatever is happening in
T3:10.6 Acceptance of what is, is  acceptance that whatever is happening in the present moment is a gift
T4:4.16 in the reality where you think you are. Only through your mind’s  acceptance of your new reality has the heart been freed to exist in
T4:5.1 the continuity of creation and that your fulfillment lies in the  acceptance of your true inheritance.
T4:7.5 appeal of this Course and worked with your mind to bring about this  acceptance of the truth, a truth your heart has always known but has
D:1.5 will it now take for your mind to accept this truth? For the mind’s  acceptance of this truth is what is needed.
D:1.6 and heart in union together accept this new reality and, with this  acceptance, the heart is freed to dwell in the house of the Lord, the
D:1.7 This  acceptance is crucial to the elevation of the personal self. Without
D:1.7 is crucial to the elevation of the personal self. Without this  acceptance the personal self must still struggle and try, prepare and
D:1.10 to elevate the personal self. This elevation occurs through the  acceptance of your true identity, not through being identity-less.
D:1.12 renaming ceremonies that symbolize the release of the old and the  acceptance of the new. This occurs in one form or another in the
D:1.16 the truth has been learned, the nature of untruth remains only as an  acceptance of insanity. What I will help you now to do is to reject
D:1.18 shown, this will not occur by means of preparation but by means of  acceptance. This will not occur by means of trying but by means of
D:1.26 When you fully accept this, you will see that it is true. Like the  acceptance of unity that could not be taught, but was the condition
D:1.26 unity that could not be taught, but was the condition for learning,  acceptance of your true identity cannot be taught but is the
D:1.27 Thus we work now toward  acceptance of what you have learned in unity. We work towards your
D:1.27 acceptance of what you have learned in unity. We work towards your  acceptance of sanity and your rejection of insanity. We work together
D:2.1 do two things simultaneously: To accept the new and to deny the old.  Acceptance is a willingness to receive. Obviously, when you consider
D:2.1 to receive. Obviously, when you consider this definition of  acceptance, you will see that this is not the way of the old.
D:2.1 of replacing the old patterns of learning with the new pattern of  acceptance.
D:2.2 is not true or right. This is the denial of insanity in favor of the  acceptance of sanity, the denial of the false for the acceptance of
D:2.2 favor of the acceptance of sanity, the denial of the false for the  acceptance of the true. Although you are called to these two actions
D:2.2 you are called to these two actions simultaneously—the action of  acceptance and the action of denial—it can thus be seen that they
D:2.4 end, continuation of this pattern will but interfere with your full  acceptance of who you are in truth.
D:2.9 serve you. We speak of denying modes of learning in favor of simple  acceptance of what is.
D:2.23 upon the path of your brothers and sisters. Do you not see that your  acceptance of this promise is the acceptance of your own promise? Do
D:2.23 sisters. Do you not see that your acceptance of this promise is the  acceptance of your own promise? Do you not see that acceptance of the
D:2.23 promise is the acceptance of your own promise? Do you not see that  acceptance of the new and denial of the old is the necessary
D:3.1 sorrow and victory triumphs over defeat. All that it requires is the  acceptance of the new and the denial of the old that will allow for
D:3.6 of learning are no longer necessary. Thus one of your first acts of  acceptance is the acceptance of the end of the conditions of
D:3.6 longer necessary. Thus one of your first acts of acceptance is the  acceptance of the end of the conditions of learning. This does not
D:3.7 learning. This is why we began quite truthfully and simply with an  acceptance of the new and denial of the old. This is as far as
D:3.7 an acceptance of the new and denial of the old. This is as far as  acceptance and denial need go. For if you give credence to the ideas
D:3.7 We achieve victory now through surrender, an active and total  acceptance of what is given.
D:3.13 you need to know. What we seek to achieve through this dialogue is  acceptance and awareness of what you know. Acceptance is easily
D:3.13 through this dialogue is acceptance and awareness of what you know.  Acceptance is easily achieved through willingness. Full awareness in
D:4.13 Thus far, we are merely working together to create a pattern of  acceptance to replace the pattern of learning.
D:4.18 Let us simply create a new structure around the new pattern of  acceptance, a structure that will provide you with the home on Earth
D:4.20 way begins at the prison doors, begins, as we said earlier, with  acceptance of the new and denial of the old. Turn your back on the
D:4.24 Let this  acceptance of your own internal authority be your first “act” of
D:4.24 acceptance of your own internal authority be your first “act” of  acceptance rather than learning. Turn to this as the new pattern and
D:4.31 protests and the reasons that you feel must prevent you from the  acceptance I call you to. Yet as you fully accept that your right to
D:4.31 different for everyone and yet the same for everyone. That answer is  acceptance of your Self. That answer is acceptance of the new you.
D:4.31 for everyone. That answer is acceptance of your Self. That answer is  acceptance of the new you.
D:5.11 old way that led to so much misinterpretation and misrepresentation.  Acceptance of what is given is acceptance of what is given. All was
D:5.11 and misrepresentation. Acceptance of what is given is  acceptance of what is given. All was given to you to remind you of
D:5.14 be what it is in truth. This is the return of love to love. This is  acceptance of your Self.
D:5.15 then is the call to creation that has been spoken of? This is the  acceptance of the new you—acceptance that you are going beyond
D:5.15 that has been spoken of? This is the acceptance of the new you—  acceptance that you are going beyond simple recognition and
D:5.15 you—acceptance that you are going beyond simple recognition and  acceptance of the Self as God created the Self—to the living of
D:5.15 created the Self—to the living of this Self in form. This is an  acceptance that recognizes that while the Self that God created is
D:5.19 the elevation of form. And what we have discussed thus far is the  acceptance of form as what it is. This is the new reality you have
D:5.21 the patterns of learning will change to help you embrace the  acceptance of this new time of no time. You will wonder how to live
D:5.21 as a being no longer bound by time. And I tell you truly, that once  acceptance of what is is complete, we will go on to these questions
D:5.22 let today’s dialogue serve as a final call, a most emphatic call, to  acceptance. See the importance of this acceptance to everything that
D:5.22 a most emphatic call, to acceptance. See the importance of this  acceptance to everything that is still to come. Hesitate no longer.
D:6.2 false that aided your learning may now work as a detriment to your  acceptance as you cling to ideas concerning false representation
D:6.17 to see the enormity of the thought reversal that now awaits your  acceptance. As I said earlier, we begin by applying this new attitude
D:6.24 of but one replacement for the pattern of learning—the pattern of  acceptance. What might the body be called to accept? This is an easy
D:7.4 for learning. Now experience is needed in time to aid your total  acceptance of what you have learned. In order to experience the new
D:7.17 is still related to the self of form. It is a step toward full  acceptance and awareness of who you are now and what this means as
D:9.2 The final thought reversal that was spoken of in the section on  acceptance is what is spoken of here. There you were asked to become
D:9.4 remains one of thought. This pattern is what the new patterns of  acceptance and discovery that we are beginning to lay out here are
D:10.3 the effort of teaching and learning limits them. It is your joyous  acceptance of the already accomplished state of these givens that
D:10.7 In this time of Christ, discovery is about  acceptance of your true way of knowing, a way that existed prior to
D:11.4 thought of the separated thought system of the separated self. Your  acceptance of the concepts in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought” was
D:11.6 as learning now no longer serves you? If you reach a state of full  acceptance of who you are, and in that state, fully accept that your
D:11.7 The way to achieve this state is through  acceptance that it is already accomplished. And yet, as soon as your
D:12.6 This is why we work now on your awareness and  acceptance of your changed state, for without awareness the value of
D:14.1 Discovery is more, of course, than the  acceptance of your accomplishment and these beginning steps into the
D:14.9 unity in which all exist along with you, was advanced by the idea of  acceptance you took to heart earlier, and paves the way for discovery
D:14.13 through your form, thus elevating the self of form. It is awareness,  acceptance, and discovery of what is beyond form that allows the
D:14.13 of what is beyond form into expression in form. Awareness,  acceptance, and discovery are, in short, what allow form to become
D:15.21 When this time of becoming has ended, the conditions that allow your  acceptance and discovery of all that is available within unity, or
D:16.12 of becoming. And yet, as you have begun your practice of awareness,  acceptance, and discovery, you have felt as if you still have a long
D:16.19 memories of childhood. This time of becoming is a time of coming to  acceptance of them as what they are—images. This time of becoming
D:16.19 what they are—images. This time of becoming is a time of coming to  acceptance that they are not real. They are no more real than the
D:17.14 as learning now no longer serves you? If you reach a state of full  acceptance of who you are, and in that state, fully accept that your
D:17.20 may have initially felt with this realization has been replaced by  acceptance. Acceptance has come because you recognize the signs of
D:17.20 felt with this realization has been replaced by acceptance.  Acceptance has come because you recognize the signs of becoming that

D:Day1.1 Acceptance of me is acceptance of your Self. Acceptance of me is  acceptance of your inheritance. This is nothing new to those of you
D:Day1.1 to those of you of the Christian faith. To others it will seem an  acceptance beyond your ability, an acceptance that there is no real
D:Day1.1 faith. To others it will seem an acceptance beyond your ability, an  acceptance that there is no real cause to request. Why must Jesus be

D:Day1.3 you here, not to a place but to an ascended state. Without your  acceptance of who I am, you will not fully accept who you are.
D:Day1.3 fully accept who you are. Without your willingness to achieve this  acceptance, you will not receive the secret of succession presented
D:Day1.4 Why should this be so important? Why not leave well enough alone? If  acceptance of Jesus is a stumbling block for many, why should it be
D:Day2.1  Acceptance of your Self is acceptance of me. Acceptance of your Self
D:Day2.1 Acceptance of your Self is  acceptance of me. Acceptance of your Self is acceptance of your
D:Day2.1 Acceptance of your Self is acceptance of me.  Acceptance of your Self is acceptance of your inheritance. Now is the
D:Day2.1 of your Self is acceptance of me. Acceptance of your Self is  acceptance of your inheritance. Now is the time to come into full
D:Day2.1 is acceptance of your inheritance. Now is the time to come into full  acceptance of the human self as well as the Self of unity. It is time
D:Day2.11 Now is the time for  acceptance, even of these actions that you would rather not accept.
D:Day2.11 but this difference does not place these actions beyond the idea of  acceptance.
D:Day2.12 they are negative or positive in your judgment. We look for a simple  acceptance of the facts of your life.
D:Day2.13 you could change. These actions are unchangeable. This is why simple  acceptance is needed.
D:Day2.15 beliefs, you are called to accept yourself. This unconditional  acceptance is necessary. I will give you one final example in order
D:Day3.3 this learning and “accepted” it as the way things are. This kind of  acceptance is what we are reversing with a new acceptance.
D:Day3.3 are. This kind of acceptance is what we are reversing with a new  acceptance.
D:Day3.6 is where your greatest anger, and your greatest lack of belief and  acceptance, lies.
D:Day3.49 bargaining represents is yet another stage in your movement toward  acceptance. It is still based on the belief that you are responsible
D:Day3.51 The final stage in this process, this movement toward  acceptance, is depression, a lowering of spirits and energy, a lack
D:Day3.52 letting-go, the final surrender that is necessary for the final  acceptance to come into being.
D:Day3.56 and depression are to lead you to this belief and, finally, to this  acceptance. Acceptance first that you do not believe. And then
D:Day3.56 are to lead you to this belief and, finally, to this acceptance.  Acceptance first that you do not believe. And then acceptance itself.
D:Day3.56 this acceptance. Acceptance first that you do not believe. And then  acceptance itself.
D:Day3.57 Do you see the difference, even here, in belief and  acceptance? Can you begin to see acceptance as an active function,
D:Day3.57 even here, in belief and acceptance? Can you begin to see  acceptance as an active function, much as learning was an active
D:Day3.57 as an active function, much as learning was an active function?  Acceptance is an active function. It is something given you to do.
D:Day3.58 While you think of  acceptance as just another word, another concept, another trick of
D:Day3.60 Active  acceptance is what allows the great transformation from life as you
D:Day3.61 This is what you have to do. This is the action required. The active  acceptance of abundance is the way to abundance. Active acceptance is
D:Day3.61 The active acceptance of abundance is the way to abundance. Active  acceptance is a way of being in relationship with all that flows from
D:Day4.1 that may be surfacing as you begin to move through the steps toward  acceptance. Your anger will be serving you here as it brings
D:Day4.39 If you are still willing to say that you can go only so far in your  acceptance of the truth of who you really are, then our purpose of
D:Day4.49 you will know this, and you will pass through the time of coming to  acceptance again and again until you are ready. You cannot fail but
D:Day4.49 the time of delay has passed. For those who linger in the time of  acceptance, there is reason for this as well.
D:Day4.50 abundance. But none of these things are meant to be dwelt upon. The  acceptance of abundance no more so than the acceptance of anger. You
D:Day4.50 to be dwelt upon. The acceptance of abundance no more so than the  acceptance of anger. You are called to accept and not look back, not
D:Day4.50 back, not to dwell in any of the states through which you arrive at  acceptance, nor to focus on acceptance of one thing over another. You
D:Day4.50 the states through which you arrive at acceptance, nor to focus on  acceptance of one thing over another. You are not to label good or
D:Day4.51 To be called to make a new choice before full  acceptance of what is would be confusing. You who are thinking that
D:Day4.51 who are thinking that you have not moved through the stages to full  acceptance answer now as to what is stopping you. Do you choose to

D:Day4.53 full access and awareness of unity, love is all that is required.  Acceptance has been the means chosen, by us, to move you through the
D:Day4.54 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 except
D:Day4.57 of you, how many of you would have felt free to join me? Yet in your  acceptance is your perfection realized without judgment. In your
D:Day6.16 They will facilitate this by facilitating the  acceptance of life as it is. This is why this dialogue is occurring
D:Day6.19 a place for teaching and only calls this place elevated. Awareness,  acceptance, and discovery cannot occur in a place set apart from
D:Day6.28 another. Your desire is where it belongs—here—in the passionate  acceptance of our work together. And so the lack of desire you are
D:Day6.32 Does this work of  acceptance seem never ending? It is until it is replaced by
D:Day6.32 by reverence, just as learning was unending until it was replaced by  acceptance. The conditions, however, of this time of acceptance are
D:Day6.32 was replaced by acceptance. The conditions, however, of this time of  acceptance are not the conditions of the time of learning, and so you
D:Day6.33 Let us speak now of the conditions of the time of  acceptance, for these will cheer you.
D:Day7.1 What does the idea of only now coming to  acceptance imply but that you were previously unaccepting? And what
D:Day7.3  Acceptance of your Self is the precondition for the time of
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 longer
D:Day7.4 Life is now supported. Support is thus a condition of the time of  acceptance.
D:Day7.5 fear and be willing and vigilant in replacing it with a pattern of  acceptance. I say this because so many of you still do not feel
D:Day7.6 fear will have a major transformative effect on form in this time of  acceptance. Regeneration is a condition of the time of acceptance.
D:Day7.6 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 of the
D:Day7.7 by presence, by your ability to exist in the here and now in  acceptance and without fear.
D:Day7.8 in-between state. They exist along with the new you. They exist in  acceptance and union. They do not exist in learning and separation.
D:Day7.9 are conditions that affect the body. Yet it was only your mind’s  acceptance of the condition of fear that led the body to exhibit the
D:Day7.9 conditions of fear in the time of learning. Thus it is the mind’s  acceptance of love that will lead the body to exhibit the effects of
D:Day7.9 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 believed
D:Day7.11 Conditions of the time of  acceptance are conditions of creation and include those we have
D:Day7.16 sustained within Christ-consciousness, the conditions of the time of  acceptance, like the conditions of the time of learning, will pass.
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 and
D:Day7.18 mountain that you must realize that the conditions of the time of  acceptance, like the conditions of the time of learning, arise from
D:Day7.18 within. Life has always existed within the conditions of the time of  acceptance. The conditions of the time of learning were but imposed
D:Day7.19 The conditions of the time of  acceptance that we have spoken of are thus not new conditions. They
D:Day7.20 The condition of the time of  acceptance that will most clearly reveal to you your status in regard
D:Day7.21 There is an  acceptance of the present that some of you are finding difficult and
D:Day8.1 yourself from normal life. Even the conditions of the time of  acceptance may not have cheered you fully. Now, with the ideas of the
D:Day8.1 you fully. Now, with the ideas of the conditions of the time of  acceptance fresh in your minds and hearts, let’s return to that
D:Day8.2 feel have a purpose: To move you through them and beyond them—to  acceptance.
D:Day8.3 But here is the point that needs clearing up. This is not about  acceptance of what you do not like. Do you really think you are being
D:Day8.3 that have made you feel unhappy? No! You are being called to an  acceptance of new conditions!
D:Day8.5 accept it. You may, in fact, need a job that you do not like, but in  acceptance of the simple truth that you do not like your job, you
D:Day8.5 rather than the external circumstance. We are not, when talking of  acceptance, talking of externals, but of internals. We are not
D:Day8.5 or prayer that calls you to “accept what you cannot change” but of  acceptance—absolute, unconditional, acceptance—of your Self.
D:Day8.5 what you cannot change” but of acceptance—absolute, unconditional,  acceptance—of your Self.
D:Day8.8 All power to effect change comes from  acceptance—not acceptance of the way things are, but acceptance of
D:Day8.8 All power to effect change comes from acceptance—not  acceptance of the way things are, but acceptance of who you are in
D:Day8.8 comes from acceptance—not acceptance of the way things are, but  acceptance of who you are in the present. Not through acceptance of
D:Day8.8 are, but acceptance of who you are in the present. Not through  acceptance of the way you want to be but of the way you are now.
D:Day8.8 but many others that can change instantly through this radical  acceptance. You will find, once you have begun to practice acceptance
D:Day8.8 radical acceptance. You will find, once you have begun to practice  acceptance of the present, that there will be far fewer things you do
D:Day8.9 what is, is to accept that people gossip. These false ideas about  acceptance may then have blocked your own true feelings and true
D:Day8.9 blocked your own true feelings and true response. However, a simple  acceptance that you do not like the gossip taking place in a present
D:Day8.10 Not all situations will seem as easy as this example.  Acceptance does not require any specific action but it will lead to
D:Day8.10 consistent with who you are when you are fully comfortable in your  acceptance of who you are. Understand, however, that this eventual
D:Day8.10 that this eventual outcome will never occur without the initial  acceptance.
D:Day8.11 This  acceptance is the only thing that will truly prevent judgment, for it
D:Day8.12 yourself and it was easy to extend this intolerance to others. Once  acceptance of the Self begins to be practiced, you will realize that
D:Day8.12 you will realize that the self of intolerance was the self of fear.  Acceptance of yourself, in love, leads to acceptance of others.
D:Day8.12 was the self of fear. Acceptance of yourself, in love, leads to  acceptance of others. Knowing this aspect of how you feel, what we
D:Day8.12 your dislikes, is but a first step in this beginning stage of  acceptance and only of importance because of your intolerance of your
D:Day8.17 steps toward elevation. Now, however, it is crucial that you come to  acceptance of yourself—in the present, as you are—for only by
D:Day8.17 the present, as you are—for only by doing so will you come to full  acceptance of who you are and be able to allow the Self of unity to
D:Day8.19 is why we talk specifically here of dislikes. While you are prone to  acceptance of that which you “like,” to those feelings you think of
D:Day8.20 thus the only “standard” that is consistent with the time of  acceptance is that of acceptance.
D:Day8.20 “standard” that is consistent with the time of acceptance is that of  acceptance.
D:Day8.26 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 cannot only focus on unity when you are still
D:Day8.27 cannot only focus on unity when you are still in need of this full  acceptance or you will not reach the place of sustainability. Every
D:Day8.27 non-acceptance lead to a feeling of needing to learn “how to” reach  acceptance of that which you do not like, or “how to” create a
D:Day8.28 go through the gyrations of attempting to figure out “how to” reach  acceptance of what you do not like! How freeing it will be to realize
D:Day9.33 This pattern will be easily replaced, however, as your  acceptance of yourself as you are, the real challenge of this time,
D:Day10.31 called to do with them? You are being called to respond to them with  acceptance and love. As a man, I took a stand for the powerless and
D:Day10.38 I desire, more than anything, your happiness, your peace, and your  acceptance of the power that will cause these things to come to be.
D:Day14.1 All time is included in the spacious Self.  Acceptance is necessary because escape is not possible. Everything
D:Day14.1 or any attempts at rejection of the sick or wounded self. It is your  acceptance that escape is not possible that will lead you out of
D:Day14.1 remembrance. It is in the equality of all that is realized with the  acceptance of the spacious Self, the One Self, and the many, that
D:Day14.1 of the spacious Self, the One Self, and the many, that full  acceptance is actually achieved and complete transformation begun.
D:Day14.4 not projected into the world as sickness, violence, and so on, that  acceptance occurs. It is in accepting all feelings as the feelings of
D:Day14.11 are doing here is accepting your relationship to the unexplainable.  Acceptance is the creator of invisibility, the creator of the
D:Day14.11 like the unexplainable, becomes known through the relationship of  acceptance. Acceptance of your relationship with the unknown is the
D:Day14.11 unexplainable, becomes known through the relationship of acceptance.  Acceptance of your relationship with the unknown is the only way to
D:Day14.11 of your relationship with the unknown is the only way to arrive at  acceptance of your relationship with your means of coming to know.
D:Day14.12 Your  acceptance of these words is a form of acceptance of the unknown and
D:Day14.12 Your acceptance of these words is a form of  acceptance of the unknown and as such a means of coming to know.
D:Day15.16 of others but one of finally conquering judgment with neutrality or  acceptance. Allowing others to accept you as you are is a gift that
D:Day16.1 that can’t be seen, including the unknown, is full consciousness.  Acceptance is key. You can’t accept what you fear.
D:Day16.8 grief join with the spacious Self? This joining occurs only through  acceptance. Without acceptance, the separation remains along with the
D:Day16.8 spacious Self? This joining occurs only through acceptance. Without  acceptance, the separation remains along with the physical
D:Day16.9 It is only in the present that  acceptance can occur. There is no “going back” or reliving of the
D:Day16.12 but nevertheless for your benefit, you would go a long way toward  acceptance.
D:Day17.9 who would follow after them. One way, that of Jesus, was the way of  acceptance, teaching by example, and preparing a way for those who
D:Day18.3 of teaching and learning is over. If the way of Jesus was a way of  acceptance, teaching, learning, and leading an example life, then the

T1:2.4 Thus we have sought to uncover your Source, to provide you  access to your heart, from which all responses flow. As your heart is
T2:10.3 you and yet you are often forced to accept an inability to have  access to this information. It is forced from your awareness by

D:12.13 idea of entry, and the idea that what comes of unity does not need  access through your body’s eyes or ears or any of what you consider
D:12.13 that this is not so strange and unusual as it may sound, that this  access and entryway already exists within you, and that you have
D:14.14 state of unity. It is discovered by means of your awareness of your  access to the state of unity, as well as by what you discover there,
D:15.16 that your thinking mind will no longer be necessary as your  access to unity, or Christ-consciousness, is maintained and
D:16.13 This time of becoming is the time in between your awareness of and  access to Christ-consciousness or unity, and your sustainability of
D:Day3.40 available to you. You may not have given great consideration to the  access through which that availability arose, but since for most of
D:Day3.40 would be more true to think of this joining as creating a portal of  access, a new source of entry. But these points do not advance our

D:Day4.12 The second new temptation is  access.
D:Day4.13 no more comforting than consoling words if you do not feel you have  access to this place. It is like being told that all of the treasure
D:Day4.14  Access, then, is the key to the treasure.
D:Day4.15 We have spoken at some length about  access that seems to come through the mind. We have spoken of
D:Day4.24 after the passing of the first of my disciples, was that they had  access to this treasure. They still knew that it existed, but since
D:Day4.24 They still knew that it existed, but since they knew not how to  access it, they called it the Kingdom of Heaven and longed for access
D:Day4.24 to access it, they called it the Kingdom of Heaven and longed for  access to it after death.
D:Day4.26 Union is both the treasure and the key to the treasure. Union is both  access and the place to which you desire access. As all that exists
D:Day4.26 the treasure. Union is both access and the place to which you desire  access. As all that exists in truth, union is means and end.
D:Day4.27 in unity rather than in separation—is thus the first step to the  access that you seek. Without knowing this, without knowing the truth
D:Day4.27 This was what learning was for. And learning is not the way to the  access that you seek. As all that exists in truth, the truth of who
D:Day4.28 Within you is the  access that you seek, just as within you is the Kingdom of Heaven.
D:Day4.29 The  access that you seek is not a tool that can be purchased through your
D:Day4.29 through your right-actions or even your longing and desire. For this  access is not a tool but a function of who you are. This access is,
D:Day4.29 For this access is not a tool but a function of who you are. This  access is, like breathing, something that is natural to you until you
D:Day4.31 then hold your hands over your eyes. You “cover over” the portal of  access to unity with a film of illusion. You hide the gate in mist.
D:Day4.32  Access simply exists within your natural state, much like breathing
D:Day4.34 is not meditation, the focus that is not a tool? This is a focus on  access itself.
D:Day4.35 time on the mountain as a time of getting in touch with your own  access to God, your own access to heaven. You might think that if you
D:Day4.35 as a time of getting in touch with your own access to God, your own  access to heaven. You might think that if you stretch your idea of
D:Day4.35 beyond where it is comfortable going, that there you will find this  access, this portal to all that lies beyond time and space, to all
D:Day4.36 that its fulfillment lies already accomplished within, in the  access that lies within.
D:Day4.37 of taking you. It is a desire for true discovery, a desire to  access the previously unknown.
D:Day4.38 be totally 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
D:Day4.40 the towns and cities below? Or to turn and look up to the portal of  access to unity? Do you turn and look back at form and matter? Or do
D:Day4.43 into the elevated Self of form? Do you want to know this place of  access and carry it within you, or do you only wish the opportunity
D:Day4.44 all, accept it all—for you cannot have of this in parts. Once full  access has been revealed, what is yours is everything. But you will

D:Day4.53 As we move into full  access and awareness of unity, love is all that is required.
D:Day5.1 A point of  access will no longer be needed once full entry is attained, just as
D:Day5.1 though it will not be permanently needed, however, this point of  access will remain crucial as long as you maintain rather than
D:Day5.1 you maintain rather than sustain the state of unity. This point of  access will thus now be discussed, both as an initial entry point and
D:Day5.2 For each of you this  access point will in truth be the same, but perhaps quite different
D:Day5.4 is not a tool but a function of your natural Self, is a focus on  access. Thus we begin with what feels natural to you. We give access
D:Day5.4 on access. Thus we begin with what feels natural to you. We give  access a focal point in the realm of form.
D:Day5.5 This focal point must be of your own choosing. Your point of  access may be your head, or a place just above or to the right or
D:Day5.5 what feels most natural to you as a focal point for your focus on  access.
D:Day5.6 This is important to remember now as you begin to work with your  access to unity.
D:Day5.8 Thus,  access too is the same. It exists. It is there for you. It is given.
D:Day5.9 part of your body, it will be helpful to have identified this chosen  access point for unity even while remembering it is not of the body
D:Day5.12  Access to unity will seem, at first, a quite individual
D:Day5.13 and receiving as one within your own heart. You might think of  access in the same way—as enabling you to realize that you “have”
D:Day5.16 A “healer” for instance, might, thus, feel her  access point as being the hands and express what is gained through
D:Day5.18 that while you want to know the specifics of how this thing called  access to unity will work, you are also impatient with specifics. You
D:Day5.21 this frame of mind, we can return more specifically to our focus on  access. Wherever your chosen point of access lies, imagine now the
D:Day5.21 specifically to our focus on access. Wherever your chosen point of  access lies, imagine now the needle that was discussed as passing
D:Day5.21 and imagine the point of intersection connecting with your chosen  access point. Imagine this now, not as a needle but as the wisdom you
D:Day5.22 effort remains, and while it remains, you will not realize full  access to what you are given. We are speaking here of letting your
D:Day5.23 spiritual guides. They have understood that what they have gained  access to cannot be taught. This has not meant that they were not
D:Day5.25 Remember this as well as you focus on your  access to unity. Focus does not mean thinking. Focus does not mean
D:Day5.26 a constant exchange. When you are fully aware of this is when full  access is attained. So we will continue our work now in releasing you
D:Day6.1 becoming the true Self—the time in between your awareness of and  access to Christ-consciousness, or unity, and your sustainability of

C:27.11 goals, as stated before, these are goals that you cannot  accomplish “on your own” or with the concept you now hold of
C:28.12 disappointed. Again, as in the beginning, you seek a task to  accomplish, forgetting that only you can be accomplished.
C:29.4 be of service to you rather than trying to use the universe to  accomplish your goals. These adjustments in your attitude toward
T2:6.5 those treasures to become abilities. Thus all that you might wish to  accomplish stands separate from you and beyond you in time. That your
T2:6.5 and beyond you in time. That your mind projects what you desire to  accomplish onto an unknown future time is what would seem to keep you
T3:15.18 of illusion with the truth is what the new thought system will  accomplish. Obviously, this replacement must be total. The means for
T4:2.10 new time. Full awareness of the new is what this Treatise seeks to  accomplish and so it is necessary to belabor these false ideas that

D:11.7 of your thoughts and turn to ideas of what you still need to do to  accomplish your calling, to make your contribution. Such is the way
D:Day3.22 path think money is among the greatest limits to what you can  accomplish, to how you can live the life you would choose to live.
D:Day6.19 of which we speak. There are no hallowed halls of learning that will  accomplish this. There is no mountain top in any location on Earth

D:Day6.27 As your belief grows in our ability to  accomplish together our given task, you are almost surely feeling
D:Day9.32 would be for without this type of freedom to strive, to achieve, to  accomplish, to work toward and realize goals. This is the second myth
D:Day19.1 to those who are able to live as who they are in the world and  accomplish certain functions within the world. You perhaps feel
D:Day29.4 rift between mind and heart. You have accomplished that and you can  accomplish this—in your reality. As you realize by now, all this
A.12 this as one more self-improvement exercise, or one more objective to  accomplish. Only in this way do you come to realize you are already

accomplished (110)

C:P.10 and sisters is what the world is for. To stop before this is  accomplished when it is in reach is every bit as insane as belief in
C:P.14 to accomplish much good in the world realize that only you can be  accomplished. You are here to awaken from your slumber. You are here
C:P.17 behind the old and choose a new way, a way in which you become the  accomplished, and in your accomplishment bring the new into being?

C:9.21 that are opposite to what you would not want to have, you have  accomplished much. But a warm fire will only provide warmth as long
C:9.38 not how to accomplish it. You have forgotten that only you can be  accomplished. You believe that by putting various parts together a

C:24.4 and moving through unlearning to new learning. These lessons must be  accomplished in life and require an engagement with life. This

C:27.11 that is life. You are already accomplished as who you are. All is  accomplished in unity. In separation you merely strive for all that
C:28.12 you seek a task to accomplish, forgetting that only you can be  accomplished.
C:29.6 that is meant by what I have often repeated here: Only you can be  accomplished. Your service is but dedication to this goal.
C:29.7 My return to unity  accomplished this goal for all, for all are one in me and one in
C:29.9 is the time of your approach to unity. The atonement that is  accomplished here is the means of opening the gate to your approach.

T1:1.9 accomplished. This learning was accomplished in you, making you The  Accomplished. As The Accomplished, you now are able to access
T1:1.9 was accomplished in you, making you The Accomplished. As The  Accomplished, you now are able to access universal mind.
T1:2.5 Appealing to your heart was the means or cause of this freedom being  accomplished in you. What was spoken of within A Course of Love as
T1:2.7 subjects of a specific nature. Through this focus you believed you  accomplished much. You congratulated yourself on having the
T1:6.9 What happens when this oneness is  accomplished is that divine memories arise to replace perception.
T1:7.1 the world is seen as a world in which who you are can never be  accomplished. You have perceived this inability to be who you are in
T1:7.1 that you would strive to be, and the feeling of not being able to be  accomplished or complete will still be with you. Recall the many
T1:8.2 life, thus life is God’s Will. But with my resurrection, which was  accomplished for all, the meaning of life, the reality of life,
T1:8.6 the cause and effect of the union of the human and divine. This is  accomplished. This is in effect the way in which the man Jesus became
T1:8.8 The heart and mind joined in union  accomplished the reunion of the separated self with God. The
T2:1.14 that needs to occur. It is an elementary step and one easily  accomplished with but a bit of willingness. This change in thinking
T2:3.2 in the realm of unity where your being resides, this is already  accomplished. Your link between the realm of unity and the realm of
T2:3.2 of physicality is your heart. Your heart tells you of the already  accomplished and bids you to express it with your physicality, thus
T2:3.5 in expression. Without expression, the return to unity that has been  accomplished will not be realized.
T2:3.7 that the seeds of much of creation lie dormant within you, already  accomplished but awaiting expression in this realm of physicality.
T2:4.15 nor that you are in need of accomplishment rather than the already  accomplished. What this means is that you are still in need of
T2:4.17 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 happening
T2:5.3 be considered the highest form of call, the call from the already  accomplished to the already accomplished. Such a call signals an end
T2:5.3 form of call, the call from the already accomplished to the already  accomplished. Such a call signals an end to learning from the lessons
T2:6.4 Only you can be  accomplished and your accomplishment is already complete.
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 is no work to
T2:6.5 it is of which I speak. You believe that your treasures only become  accomplished abilities within time. You believe that your treasures
T2:6.5 say that it is what would “seem to” purposefully. If you are already  accomplished, this trick of your mind has not worked. And yet, if you
T2:6.8 your belief that change and growth are indicative of all that can be  accomplished rather than of what is already accomplished that needs
T2:6.8 of all that can be accomplished rather than of what is already  accomplished that needs adjustment now. As a tree exists fully
T2:6.8 accomplished that needs adjustment now. As a tree exists fully  accomplished within its seed and yet grows and changes, you exist
T2:6.8 within its seed and yet grows and changes, you exist fully  accomplished within the seed that is the Christ in you even while you
T2:6.8 but expressions of what already exist within the seed of the already  accomplished.
T2:6.9 The recognition that you are already  accomplished is a condition of your recognition of the state of
T2:6.9 pattern of ordinary time. Although this state exists as the already  accomplished, it is up to you to create it for yourself. You must
T2:6.9 for yourself only because you believe you replaced what was already  accomplished with what you made. This is what is happening as you
T2:6.10 is your Self as you were created and remain. The Christ is the  accomplished Self.
T2:7.21 to still take time, this belief builds on the belief of the already  accomplished through experience. As you experience giving and
T2:8.6 that is not available here. Here is the realm of the already  accomplished. This is home. Your expression of who you are may lead
T2:9.8 All that you are capable of having you already have as the already  accomplished. All that you would give will take nothing away from you.
T2:12.2 for miracles has been achieved through the learning you have  accomplished. Miracles cannot be used, and so your learning needed to
T2:12.8 to those whom you meet in relationship, you call but to the already  accomplished.
T2:12.11 a source of struggle. The ego would hang on to what is already  accomplished within you, never to let it express, through
T3:1.12 before you and am here to help you fulfill. I can do this because I  accomplished this, both in life and in all time and time beyond time,
T3:1.12 and in all time and time beyond time, making you, along with me, the  accomplished. As has already been said, the accomplished Self is the
T3:1.12 you, along with me, the accomplished. As has already been said, the  accomplished Self is the Christ. Your remembrance of the Christ-Self
T3:4.8 you fully realize this or not matters not. This A Course of Love has  accomplished. Now the choice is before you to do one of two things:
T3:12.5 of the truth of your identity. The goal of this Course has been  accomplished. However, while your consciousness remains time-bound,
T3:13.4 many of these lessons and need not repeat unlearning that has been  accomplished. The new learning that lies ahead of you now is simply
T3:15.10 The holy relationship has been  accomplished by the joining of the mind and heart in unity. The holy
T3:15.13 longer concerned with coursework as the work of this Course has been  accomplished in you. These Treatises are simply concerned with
T3:15.15 You are  accomplished. Giving and receiving are one in truth. There is no loss
T3:16.7 You are already  accomplished.
T3:16.8 By saying that you are not only  accomplished, but The Accomplished, it is being said that you are
T3:16.8 By saying that you are not only accomplished, but The  Accomplished, it is being said that you are already what you have
T3:16.8 in order to live by the truth, you must live in the world as The  Accomplished and cease struggling to be other than who you are in
T3:16.8 is not resistance at all but the idea that you are already  accomplished. Keeping this idea in the forefront of your mind and
T3:20.14 within the Peace of God that your wholeheartedness and our unity is  accomplished.
T4:2.7 does not mean that it does not exist within them. You are no more  accomplished than anyone has been or is or will be. The truth of who
T4:2.7 anyone has been or is or will be. The truth of who you are is as  accomplished as the truth of all of your brothers and sisters from
T4:2.8 of any human from any time with true vision, you would see the  accomplished Self there. There can be no judgment carried forward
T4:2.11 those who did not desire to fly in a plane when this feat was first  accomplished have since flown in planes.
T4:10.1 that you will become comfortable and more in your new role as the  accomplished.
T4:10.9 The learning you have  accomplished in regards to your Self could not help but have an
T4:10.9 Self. Means and end are one, cause and effect the same. Thus this  accomplished learning produced unity and relationship through unity
T4:10.11 you are and how to express who you are. No longer learning, or being  accomplished, is synonymous with knowing who you are and the ability
D:1.5 you cannot fail. You cannot fail to be prepared, for you are already  accomplished. What will it now take for your mind to accept this
D:1.17 be used as continuing lessons until you feel that learning is fully  accomplished. They can serve as reminders as you continue to become
D:1.21 that has been different from all learning you but thought you  accomplished as a separated self. You have achieved an incredible
D:3.5 return the world to its Self. The mending of the rift of duality was  accomplished in you when you joined mind and heart and returned to
D:6.27 know the changes that only occur in “time” although they are already  accomplished in unity. This is why we have spoken of miracles and of
D:8.11 self and into the circle of unity where all you desire is already  accomplished in the fullness and wholeness of the undivided Self.
D:9.13 form; it is that through which what already exists, what is already  accomplished, comes or passes through by means of the expression of
D:10.3 learning limits them. It is your joyous acceptance of the already  accomplished state of these givens that allows expression of what is
D:11.7 way to achieve this state is through acceptance that it is already  accomplished. And yet, as soon as your thoughts begin to accept this,
D:11.11 To believe that you are already  accomplished and not live from this belief is insane for reasons
D:16.12 complete, or possibly even feel as if learning has not quite been  accomplished in you. This is precisely why we now discuss this state
D:Day1.23 There is no story to project what comes next—no  accomplished story. There is only scripture unfulfilled, the promise
D:Day1.24 me because I am the part of you that can guide you beyond what I  accomplished to the accomplishment of creation, and beyond creation
D:Day4.36 limits, all the while realizing that its fulfillment lies already  accomplished within, in the access that lies within.
D:Day6.26 your brothers and sisters. If you felt our goal was unlikely to be  accomplished, or that it would elevate only a few and leave all
D:Day9.23 You are the “same” or “as”  accomplished as every enlightened one who has ever existed. Without
D:Day14.1 possible. Everything that is, is with us, which is why we are the  accomplished as well as the void, the healed as well as the sick, the
D:Day18.6 of mind and heart provided reunion of the human and divine and thus  accomplished the resurrection of the eternal in form. Your virgin

D:Day35.9 Ideas are neither learned nor  accomplished. They simply are. They thus take no time to learn and
D:Day39.41 time of being in union and relationship. The Christ in you is the  accomplished. The Christ in you is that which, upon this final
E.18 is the final quest in the quest for being because the quest has been  accomplished, fulfilled, completed.
A.12 accomplish. Only in this way do you come to realize you are already  accomplished.
A.49 It is what will usher in the new and change the world. It cannot be  accomplished without you—without your ability to stand in unity and

A.50 Beloved brothers and sisters, You are The  Accomplished.

T2:6.10 is your Self as you were created and remain. The Christ is the  accomplished Self.
T3:1.12 you, along with me, the accomplished. As has already been said, the  accomplished Self is the Christ. Your remembrance of the Christ-Self
T4:2.8 of any human from any time with true vision, you would see the  accomplished Self there. There can be no judgment carried forward

accomplishing (2)

T2:6.5 for you to do, for what do you need time? Have you ever conceived of  accomplishing anything without taking into account the time that it
D:Day29.3 source of your power. Now this power is available to assist you in  accomplishing the final joining, the joining that will end duality

accomplishment (65)

C:P.17 a new way, a way in which you become the accomplished, and in your  accomplishment bring the new into being?
C:P.38 Because you are complete. But if your joining with Christ is the  accomplishment and completion of all lessons, who is he who provides
C:1.9 to find your way on your own so that you can take pride in your  accomplishment, as if by following another’s map the sense of
C:1.9 your accomplishment, as if by following another’s map the sense of  accomplishment in your arrival would be diminished. This wanting to
C:5.24 You continue living life as a test, driving yourself to follow one  accomplishment with another, sure that the next one or the next will
C:6.17 they would achieve. The challenge now is in creation rather than  accomplishment. With peace, accomplishment is achieved in the only
C:6.17 challenge now is in creation rather than accomplishment. With peace,  accomplishment is achieved in the only place where it makes any sense
C:6.17 in the only place where it makes any sense to desire it. With your  accomplishment comes the freedom and the challenge of creation.
C:24.4 The time of tenderness is thus the final learning ground before  accomplishment is complete. The learning that occurs during the time
C:26.2 Many of you question the line between fate and  accomplishment. Are some chosen for greatness? Others for mediocrity?
C:29.6 for Himself, and for all His children. The return to unity was my  accomplishment, and all that is meant by what I have often repeated
C:29.7 with anything other than this goal. Your realization of this goal’s  accomplishment is your realization of your divinity, a state
C:29.8 a return to unity. From within the center, the core of unity, your  accomplishment goes out to the world, as mine once did.
C:32.6 embrace? This is the miracle to end all need of miracles, the only  accomplishment of the only Son of God. For what your heart has shared
T1:3.20 power, surely it is a power that is of God and needs not you for its  accomplishment. Better not to mess with such things. Even the thought
T1:6.9 arise to replace perception. This is miracle-mindedness. The  accomplishment of this state of being is the reason for which you are
T1:8.8 the separated self with God. The resurrection was evidence of this  accomplishment. It laid aside death’s claim and with it the claim of
T2:1.4 you are now is what this Course has led you to and evidence of your  accomplishment. You may view this as license to stay as you are and
T2:3.7 Learning and  accomplishment are not linear as you have perceived them to be. If we
T2:4.15 This does not mean you have not changed nor that you are in need of  accomplishment rather than the already accomplished. What this means
T2:6.4 Only you can be accomplished and your  accomplishment is already complete.
T2:6.5 onto an unknown future time is what would seem to keep you from  accomplishment. I say that it is what would “seem to” purposefully.
T2:6.5 trick of your mind has worked, you act as if you are being kept from  accomplishment by time, and this “seems” quite real to you. This
T2:6.6  Accomplishment is not an end point but a given. It is not an outcome
T2:7.20 recognition of the state of unity. As with the recognition of your  accomplishment, the acceptance of the belief that giving and
T3:15.6 own criteria for success or failure and their own timing for the  accomplishment of the same. Some would see six months of change as
T3:22.15 of distrust. It was a tension that existed between desire and  accomplishment, the tension that told you that you might be able to
T4:1.1 It will not be about tools or tell you that some have the tools for  accomplishment and that others do not. It will continue the view from
T4:5.2 whole of the choir and the orchestra. So that you can realize your  accomplishment in union and relationship. So that you can join your
T4:5.2 accomplishment in union and relationship. So that you can join your  accomplishment with that of all others and become the body of Christ.
T4:10.1 you beyond the time of being a student to the realization of your  accomplishment. You were once comfortable being your own teacher. You
T4:10.10 The first  accomplishment of your learning about your Self was the return of
T4:10.11 love in form. No longer learning is the revelation that the time of  accomplishment is upon you and the expression of the Self of love in
T4:12.24 (which is individual), for individual gain, or for individual  accomplishment.
D:5.16 next?” If there is nothing to learn, if coursework is behind you and  accomplishment is complete, what then are you to do? You are to
D:10.3 how you express them in the world, is your unique and individual  accomplishment. Such it is. But when you also think that it is your
D:10.4 of this in any other way will leave you with no individual, personal  accomplishment, nothing to be proud of, nothing to call your own. You
D:10.4 own. You thus must begin to realize that the bringing forth of the  accomplishment that already exists in unity is your new work, the
D:10.4 Self of union, the work that can fill you with the true joy of true  accomplishment, because it is your real work—work with what is.
D:10.5 In this way, sharing in relationship becomes the goal and the  accomplishment of the elevated Self of form, the means through which
D:14.1 Discovery is more, of course, than the acceptance of your  accomplishment and these beginning steps into the real state of
D:16.2 once begun, the story of creation moves inevitably to join with the  accomplishment and wholeness that already exist in unity. Creation
D:17.5 arrived comes the “presence” of Self so long awaited, the joy of  accomplishment, the taste of victory.
D:17.7 and you marvel that this takes nothing from your feeling of  accomplishment. You want to share it with the whole world. From the
D:17.12 return you to your Self. This is the moment of realization of that  accomplishment. But your desire has not left you. Your desire is
D:Day1.24 the part of you that can guide you beyond what I accomplished to the  accomplishment of creation, and beyond creation to the story not yet
D:Day4.57 These things become not achievements, but the acknowledgments of the  accomplishment that has always existed within you and all of your
D:Day5.12 Access to unity will seem, at first, a quite individual  accomplishment, something one may have and another may not. While
D:Day5.15 seeking the same goal, the realization, or “making real” of your  accomplishment, and its expression, will not look the same way twice.
D:Day5.17 and expressing fully who you are. This is the miracle, the goal, the  accomplishment that is achieved through the reign of love, the
D:Day5.22 could only work hard to attain, and thereby claim as your individual  accomplishment. Obviously, union is not about this. While the ego is
D:Day6.19 will bring to your full realization and manifestation without the  accomplishment that already exists.
D:Day6.23 person is taught and shown the skills and activities needed for the  accomplishment of the tasks he or she is to perform. But often it is
D:Day6.27 to others, particularly those who, along with us, work toward its  accomplishment. In doing so you are not creating new special
D:Day9.17 to be something else? Just as “finding” brought “seeking” to an end,  accomplishment brings striving to an end.
D:Day9.23 Without realizing this, however, your unique expression of your  accomplishment will not be realized.
D:Day19.1 other words, you know not what to do. You perhaps see no “specific”  accomplishment in your future, but see instead a way of living as the
D:Day19.1 in your future, but see instead a way of living as the ultimate  accomplishment. You see living as who you are in the world as the
D:Day19.1 accomplishment. You see living as who you are in the world as the  accomplishment that is needed from you and yet at times you compare
D:Day19.5 The ultimate  accomplishment is living as who you are within the world. But in what
D:Day24.5 released. There is, in other words, a necessity for each step in the  accomplishment of wholeness, even while wholeness has always existed

D:Day20.4 told much here that you did not previously know. This isn’t quite  accurate however. What has happened here is that words have been put

T1:7.1 to do as you would desire to do, live as you would desire to live,  achieve what you would choose to achieve. The true way in which to

T3:2.3 the purpose you assumed rather than the purpose you started out to  achieve—that of a new way of expression in a form that would expand
T3:22.15 accomplishment, the tension that told you that you might be able to  achieve what you desire but that you also might not. Realize that
T4:1.3 if some will be left out and as if you are being told that you can  achieve what many others have tried and failed to achieve. These are
T4:1.3 told that you can achieve what many others have tried and failed to  achieve. These are the types of ideas that will cause discomfort to

D:Day9.13 hard enough you can maybe, someday, if you are blessed or lucky,  achieve this ideal image.

D:Day10.6 think it is your access to unity that will be the more difficult to  achieve and sustain, this will not be the case for most of you, for
D:Day30.1 of the whole. Just as simple fractions can be added together to  achieve wholeness once a common denominator is found, your own

C:5.23 done wrong, you wonder? Why are you not satisfied with all you have  achieved?
C:5.24 is proven time and time again to not be what you want once you have  achieved it. Yet you think when this occurs that you have simply
C:6.17 creation rather than accomplishment. With peace, accomplishment is  achieved in the only place where it makes any sense to desire it.
C:9.37 in you is found in another and together a sense of wholeness is  achieved.
C:9.38 this is but a distortion of creation. You remember that wholeness is  achieved through union, but not how to accomplish it. You have

C:21.8 and in every instance until unity is achieved. Until unity is  achieved you do not understand that you give meaning to all things,
C:23.29 the lessons? What is the curriculum? How will you know when you have  achieved a learning objective? Yet how can you become a master of

T1:9.1 or miracle-readiness. This is wholeheartedness and is  achieved through mindfulness.
T1:9.12 attributes within you causes a merging of both and a wholeness to be  achieved, so too does a wholeness then come about with conception and

T4:12.25 possible! Let yourself be grateful for the learning you have  achieved. Celebrate this graduation, this anointing, this passage.
D:1.21 you but thought you accomplished as a separated self. You have  achieved an incredible feat by allowing and accepting the state of
D:2.4 and cooperation to enable the return to unity. This pattern has  achieved its desired end and so is no longer needed nor appropriate.
D:3.13 is acceptance and awareness of what you know. Acceptance is easily  achieved through willingness. Full awareness in form of what has
D:8.2 In all of your life, you can think of no ability you have not  achieved through learning. And yet most of you have “discovered”
D:8.2 and have given up “working hard” to be the best. Others who have  achieved the highest possible acclaim for their talents find this
D:8.2 acclaim for their talents find this acclaim unfulfilling once it is  achieved.
D:11.6 a question. Do you think desire will still be with you when you have  achieved what you have desired? Is it not possible to conceive of a
D:12.12 What I am striving to help you see, once again, is that union isn’t  achieved with a flash of light from above, but that it quietly
D:13.6 in awareness of the relationship of unity. But until this state is  achieved, you will move in and out of states of awareness of the
D:17.14 now. Do you think desire will still be with you when you have  achieved what you have desired? Is it not possible to conceive of a
D:Day4.60 Our forward movement must be  achieved, however. But one is needed to begin this movement.
D:Day5.17 you are. This is the miracle, the goal, the accomplishment that is  achieved through the reign of love, the maintenance and finally the
D:Day5.19 movement in order to understand the way in which that movement is  achieved, you will almost surely once again have doubts. Doubts are
D:Day14.1 Self, the One Self, and the many, that full acceptance is actually  achieved and complete transformation begun.
D:Day15.17 Many resist this stage of development because they feel they have  achieved inner knowing. They may still consider themselves to be
D:Day15.17 but feel, in a certain sense, that it is unnecessary. They have  achieved a goal consistent with their concept of inner knowing and
D:Day30.4 Wholeness cannot be  achieved without joining, thus the commonly known injunction of

C:2.6 component and think that to act in love more frequently is an  achievement. You label acting from love “good” and acting out of
C:8.21 On other days you will feel quite superior, the ultimate  achievement of the world and all its years of evolution. There are
C:9.37 memory’s return. A love relationship, while seen as the ultimate  achievement in terms of the closeness you can acquire with a brother
C:9.41 the race you will know it not. Competition that leads to individual  achievement has become the idol you would glorify, and you need not
C:14.5 make sense? What creator would create a world in which the highest  achievement of the life upon it would be to leave it in order to gain
C:14.23 a reward to be gained by some and not by others, a pinnacle of  achievement that will prove your rightness and your success after you

T4:12.25 of the final stages of learning, has achieved the ultimate  achievement possible! Let yourself be grateful for the learning you

C:25.10 are here in a state of reprisal, having fallen from grace, then all  action will be out of harmony. If you believe you and all other

D:Day21.3 really teach, guide, or even make information coherent without the  action of the receiver. Thus it has always been the action of the

D:Day34.2 in much the same way all includes nothing. Without relationship,  all and nothing are the same. In relationship, the difference between
D:Day34.2 and nothing are the same. In relationship, the difference between  all and nothing is everything. So too is it with creation and
D:Day36.10 is all the difference in the world. It is the difference between  all and nothing in relationship to one another. Recall the example
D:Day36.10 Recall the example used earlier. There is no difference between  all and nothing without relationship. In relationship, the difference
D:Day36.10 or as if you were everything and God was nothing. But just as with  all and nothing, there was no difference between your being and God’s
D:Day39.38 is time and eternity. Love and hate. Good and evil. In other words,  All and Nothing. It is the tension of individuation, a tension that
D:Day40.14 and me is that I am being God and also love, being. This is why I am  all and nothing, the attribute-laden God and the attributeless love.

All of All (13)

C:20.2 all right. Realize that this is the whole world, the universe, the  all of all in whose embrace you literally exist. Feel the gentleness
T2:4.1 aspect of this world alone. Creation is an aspect of the whole, the  all of all, the alpha and the omega, eternity and infinity. It is not

D:7.27 the circle of unity. In truth, this circle is everything, the  All of All, the universe, God. But just as the Earth can be seen as
D:14.8 open for revelation but for cooperation. Cooperation comes from the  All of All being in harmony and relationship. When this harmony and
D:16.7 Love is spirit, is God, is creation. Love is a description of the  All of All because it is whole and rests in eternal completion and
D:Day3.59 compassionate and loving benevolence of the universe, of God, of the  All of All, and still accept the reality of lack. You cannot accept
D:Day16.15 the paradise of creation. This was the Garden of Eden, the Self, the  All of All. Unwanted feelings that you attempted to expel from the
D:Day17.2 and masculine, the “identity” of God, or in other words, the  All of All given an identity. God holds you within Himself. Christ is
D:Day17.3 true Self is being in union, undivided and inseparable from God, the  All of All. God is only the all-knowing because God is in everything
D:Day32.15 would be singular and alone. Yet God has been referred to as the  All of All. How could God be the All of All and not also be man? How
D:Day32.15 Yet God has been referred to as the All of All. How could God be the  All of All and not also be man? How can God be all that is and at the
D:Day35.21 in unity and relationship is creation within the embrace of the  All of All. How can you choose when what you create is everything?

All of Everything (16)

T1:5.6 A part of you is aware of this and as fearful of the  all of everything as of the void of nothing. You feel as if you are
T4:5.6 God can thus be seen as the  All of everything and life, or the Body of Christ, as all that makes
T4:5.6 Christ, as all that makes up the seemingly individual parts of the  All of everything. Christ-consciousness is your awareness of this.
D:6.27 The self of form, as form, could never truly experience the  All of Everything that is the natural state of the formless. But the
D:6.27 state, the state of Christ-consciousness, sharing in unity, the  All of Everything. So these two states, the state of form and the
D:7.27 home, you will not always be aware of this circle of the Self as the  All of Everything, and it will, in fact, be helpful as we begin, to

D:Day11.6 All of Everything cannot be known any more than can nothingness. The  All of Everything is unknowable. Thus you are the knowable of God.
D:Day11.6 of All with Its Self. Separation is as unknowable as the  All of Everything. To be separate in truth would be to not exist. To
D:Day11.6 Everything. To be separate in truth would be to not exist. To be the  All of Everything would be to not know existence. Only what exists in

T3:22.5 teacher originated in A Course in Miracles and was furthered here.  Along with this resignation is the concept of receiving rather than
T4:3.6 to return to your natural state of being. The fear that was birthed  along with the erroneously inherited idea that it was your nature to

D:Day15.27 so that as you join in true spaciousness with those coming to know  along with you, you do not create false ideas concerning what this is

C:32.5 or believe in loss of anything of any kind. Thus will all you have  already received be remembered in this time of the second coming of

T2:5.3 This might be considered the highest form of call, the call from the  already accomplished to the already accomplished. Such a call signals
T2:5.3 highest form of call, the call from the already accomplished to the  already accomplished. Such a call signals an end to learning from the
T2:6.4 Only you can be accomplished and your accomplishment is  already complete.
T2:6.5 I say that it is what would “seem to” purposefully. If you are  already accomplished, this trick of your mind has not worked. And

T2:6.9 The recognition that you are  already accomplished is a condition of your recognition of the state
T2:6.9 of the pattern of ordinary time. Although this state exists as the  already accomplished, it is up to you to create it for yourself. You

T2:9.5 if you “have” needs even long after they have been met. Since I have  already stated that you do have needs this may seem confusing.

T2:10.10 you are back to your united mind and heart. This is the knowing that  already exists, the memory that is swatted away by the ego.
T2:11.8 Yet, as has  already been said, the ego, having been with you from your earliest
T2:12.8 you call to those whom you meet in relationship, you call but to the  already accomplished.
T2:12.11 but remain a source of struggle. The ego would hang on to what is  already accomplished within you, never to let it express, through

T3:16.7 You are  already accomplished.
T3:16.8 accomplished, but The Accomplished, it is being said that you are  already what you have sought to be. Thus, in order to live by the
T3:16.8 these temptations is not resistance at all but the idea that you are  already accomplished. Keeping this idea in the forefront of your mind
T3:17.1 Why would you ever have chosen to obscure the truth? As we have  already shown, to have chosen to express the Self in physical form

D:1.6 dwell in the house of the Lord, the new world, the Kingdom that has  already been prepared and so needs no preparation.
D:3.21 this is just the first step revealed and that many of you will feel  already as if you are being asked to learn again and not only that,
D:3.21 to learn. What you need remember now is that your separated self  already learned this concept of giving and receiving, and that for
D:3.21 of what is, is a quality of Christ-consciousness. Thus you are  already aware of the truth of giving and receiving being one. This

D:12.8 We have spoken  already of “entering into” dialogue. When you enter into dialogue
D:12.8 that the ability of “thoughts” not your own to enter you is  already commonplace.
D:12.9 We have  already established that the thoughts that arise from unity are not
D:12.13 strange and unusual as it may sound, that this access and entryway  already exists within you, and that you have already benefited from
D:12.13 access and entryway already exists within you, and that you have  already benefited from moments of interaction with, if not awareness

C:25.5 How can love  always be present when you can undeniably feel each and every absence
C:25.13 or disillusioned, you will not be invulnerable. There is  always, behind every disappointment or disillusion, every attack and

C:31.21 to love are accomplished and simply become the truth that has  always existed about who you are.
C:31.30 life you state this seeking you are doing quite clearly, and it is  always specific. You are looking for a friend, a spouse, a mentor.
C:32.2 your mind, you call upon the Holy Spirit. Thus is the Sacred Trinity  always available in every situation, and for whichever learning mode
T1:4.16 Look like? It is a response of pure appreciation and love. It is  always available. It is the gift given in everything you look upon
T1:6.1 this is why it can be unlearned. The thought system of the truth is  always present as the truth is always present and can be neither
T1:6.1 The thought system of the truth is always present as the truth is  always present and can be neither learned nor unlearned. It will thus
T2:3.3 you think you are and where your being actually resides. Remember  always that your heart is where the Christ in you abides and that the
T2:4.5 brought on by any number of factors. Either way, the result would  always be the same; a sudden change from ease of movement to
T2:4.6 which unity is recognized. The water is not taken for granted but  always recognized as the condition of the swimmer’s environment. You
T2:6.9 for your Self even though it is actually a return to what has  always been. You are changing the world you perceive by perceiving a
T2:11.4 the power to do battle with the truth, or with God. Remember now and  always that you and God are one and that what you invite to do battle
T3:3.1 Your personal self is dear to you and dear to me as well. I have  always loved you because I have always recognized you. What cannot be
T3:3.1 you and dear to me as well. I have always loved you because I have  always recognized you. What cannot be recognized or known cannot be
T3:3.1 cannot be loved. While your ego has not been loveable, you have  always been. Here is where you need realize that the personal self
T3:3.3 under the pall of having disappointed others. Still others have  always found their lives to be beyond their efforts at control and
T3:3.9 I have  always loved you for I have always recognized you. While your

T3:3.9 you are “good enough” for days or hours or moments, but something  always and eventually calls you back to the idea that you are not
T3:5.4 and this time spent kept you too busy to see the light that was  always visible through the cracked and peeling walls that you built.
T3:6.4 here. Since the ego is a chosen self and a learned self, there has  always been just enough room within the ego’s thought system to keep
T3:6.5 bitterness is just another word, another label for the evil you have  always been convinced existed in the hearts of some, but even being
T3:8.6 to suffer, as well as the choice to leave suffering behind, has  always been found within? Who then are you to be angry with for all
T3:8.13 Has not a part of you  always known that suffering does not have to be even while you have
T3:10.9 This will be easy because the thoughts of the ego-mind were  always harsh with you or with others. The Christ-mind and the
T3:12.2 eternal, eternal levels of consciousness that still exist and have  always existed.
T3:13.10 small amount of money each day that you ordinarily would not spend,  always with the idea in mind that this will not affect your budget in
T3:15.4 of the past that would seem to make them foolish. There is  always some “thing” that is expected to change. This idea is
T3:16.17 whole. What forms the House of Truth is love eternal and it has  always encompassed you, even unto encompassing the house of illusion
T3:17.3 and each self of form dies out of time. Both birth and death have  always existed as choices, as beginnings and endings to the finite
T3:17.6 stories that symbolize what is. In these stories, the Holy Spirit is  always called upon to return the true Self to the self of illusion. A
T3:18.9 you in the manner in which you choose to have it serve you. It has  always been led by your thought system. If it is no longer instructed
T3:19.4 greed, hate and fear, vengeance and retribution. These things have  always had as their cause the thought system of the ego or the
T3:20.2 more or less to learning in terms of knowing the truth that you have  always known, but there are degrees of remembering and since this is
T3:20.6 cannot feel anything but “sorry” for the one suffering. Yet you are  always drawn, despite these feelings of the “badness” of the
T3:21.19 you might rightly ask, can you cease to identify yourself as you  always have and use the only identity you have been certain of for a
T3:22.3 of walks of life, to what you currently do or to something you have  always dreamt of doing. Wherever you go, whatever you do, the truth
T3:22.4 Since your personal self was  always meant to represent the truth of who you are, the seeds of who
T3:22.4 of who you are, are planted there, right within the self you have  always been. There has always been within you, however, a creative
T3:22.4 planted there, right within the self you have always been. There has  always been within you, however, a creative tension between accepting
T3:22.11 cannot observe your new Self without observing the truth that has  always existed. The truth that has always existed is our oneness, and
T3:22.11 observing the truth that has always existed. The truth that has  always existed is our oneness, and what you will observe about your
T3:22.18 the new as the new embraces you. The new is but the truth that has  always existed. Go forth and live the truth with impatience only for
T4:1.8 love. But there is, in other words, no lack of choice. A choice is  always made. A choice to accept or reject, say yes or say no, to
T4:1.17 and direction communication or experience. The same truth has  always existed, but the choice of a means of coming to know the truth
T4:2.3 I have  always been a proponent of The Way of Christ-consciousness as The Way
T4:2.5 The people of the Earth, as well as all that was created, have  always been the beloved of God because Love was and is the means of
T4:2.15 your learning of this Course, you are not other than whom you have  always been. Who you are now was there when you were a child, and
T4:2.15 Self you are now was indeed present, and the truth of who you were  always.
T4:2.22 can be more and more steadily aware. It is a new relationship. Unity  always existed. Oneness always existed. God always existed. But you
T4:2.22 aware. It is a new relationship. Unity always existed. Oneness  always existed. God always existed. But you separated yourself from
T4:2.22 new relationship. Unity always existed. Oneness always existed. God  always existed. But you separated yourself from direct awareness of
T4:4.18 physical form? You will see it simply as the transformation it has  always been, the transformation from singular consciousness to
T4:7.5 to bring about this acceptance of the truth, a truth your heart has  always known but has been unable to free you to accept without the
T4:8.9 God  always knew what your mind chose to rebel against: that creation is
T4:9.9 to the glory that awaits you in the creation of the new. You will  always be honored for what you have done. But do you want this to be
T4:12.13 of growth was synonymous with your idea of learning? That you were  always both awaiting and dreading your next learning challenge?
T4:12.16 of the human experience, to be integral to your nature. Have you not  always been told and seen examples of man pushing against his limits?
T4:12.22 Again let me remind you that we are speaking of the new. There has  always been a state of consciousness that we are here calling
T4:12.22 Christ-consciousness in form. The Christ-consciousness that has  always existed, a consciousness of what is, is an all-inclusive
D:1.15 is no longer learning. The goal is accepting the identity that has  always been yours and that has newly been revealed and returned to
D:3.2 the bell of the Lord, your invitation to return home. This call has  always sounded. It is not a death knell but a call to life. It is not
D:3.3 you and asks you to invest your life with the very purpose you have  always desired. You are not purposeless now. Your life is not
D:3.18 the Self and the elevated Self of form. The Self was and will  always remain more than the body. The body, however, is also newly
D:4.14 The truth is a system of thought. It exists in wholeness and has  always been available.
D:4.16 the ego entered with its false ideas and judgment, contrast did not  always provide the lessons it was meant to provide. In addition,
D:6.26 love, the embodiment of divinity. Its existence is given as it was  always given. But now the very nature of its existence has changed. I
D:6.26 that change occurs in time. Outside of time and form your Self has  always existed in the perfect harmony in which it was created. Now
D:7.27 consciously aware of existing in this “larger” home, you will not  always be aware of this circle of the Self as the All of Everything,
D:8.4 factors leading to this realization because a part of you has  always known this ability was a “given.” That you are gifted—given
D:9.3 about who you are. You have been led to see that this desire has  always been with you, and you have thought it is the very desire
D:9.10 the Treatises were not inconsistent with our aims here. Learning  always has as its goal leading the learner beyond learning. With “A

D:15.1 you must come to know the way of creation as it is. It has not  always been the same, and it will not be the same in the future as it
D:17.4 Can you understand that what you claim in form and time was  always yours?
D:Day1.22 The story came after the fact. Thus the fulfillment was  always part of the story of creation. It was always part of you as it
D:Day1.22 the fulfillment was always part of the story of creation. It was  always part of you as it was always part of me.

D:Day2.6 continue to have a nagging feeling that this stone of regret will  always keep you anchored to the self you once were, that no matter

D:Day3.23 Even if you are one of those others consider lucky, one of those who  always has “just enough,” little do others know that your fear is as
D:Day3.38 with God, the way of knowing through discovery. Remember  always that knowing through discovery is knowing what was not known

D:Day4.57 achievements, but the acknowledgments of the accomplishment that has  always existed within you and all of your brothers and sisters.
D:Day5.23 if not, the pattern of learning will remain. This is why there have  always seemed to be “secrets” held among the great healers and
D:Day6.20 I know it doesn’t  always seem so. Give your attention for a moment to the temptations
D:Day7.5 is now all that is left that can be degenerating to you. While you  always were supported, the idea of learning that you accepted during
D:Day7.13 how the dominoes fall and each condition of learning is replaced,  always by a far gentler and more compassionate alternative. Thus
D:Day7.15 is a phrase that will only be used in this in-between time. You have  always existed in unity and once this is fully realized you will no

D:Day8.23 Remember  always that we work now to unite the Self of union with the self of

D:Day17.4 to inspire movement beyond simple awareness to knowing. You have  always been aware that you exist and always been in search of an
D:Day17.4 awareness to knowing. You have always been aware that you exist and  always been in search of an answer as to why you exist. You have
D:Day17.4 and always been in search of an answer as to why you exist. You have  always been aware of the world around you and always been in search
D:Day17.4 you exist. You have always been aware of the world around you and  always been in search of answers to what the world around you is all
D:Day17.5 There have  always been individuals who challenged the predominant patterns of
D:Day18.9 separate this separation never actually occurred and that you have  always been the accomplished. If this had not been true, the cause of
D:Day18.11 feelings are shown, or made visible, the new is created. This has  always been the way of creation. Each blade of grass, each flower,
D:Day19.16 it can lead to judgment. When there is more than one way, there is  always room for comparison and judgment. Thus it is realistic to see
D:Day20.7 This is why you can “know” while  always coming to know. Why you can know yourself and constantly be
D:Day21.3 information coherent without the action of the receiver. Thus it has  always been the action of the receiver that made learning possible.
D:Day21.6 would eventually make teacher and learner equal. Means and end have  always been the same.
D:Day24.2 does not exist only once potential is realized or made manifest, but  always in all things.
D:Day24.5 step in the accomplishment of wholeness, even while wholeness has  always existed as potential. Do not forget, however, that wholeness
D:Day24.5 existed as potential. Do not forget, however, that wholeness has  always existed, that potential is that which exists, or that
D:Day24.7 not left behind. The caterpillar, the cocoon, and the butterfly have  always been one and remain one. Each form is but a different stage in
D:Day24.7 must die to its present form in order to begin again. Thus spirit is  always becoming, even when it must die to begin again.

D:Day27.12 a moment, just as an illustration, of your experience of separation  always taking place at a certain number of degrees away from the
D:Day27.12 from the ideal. The “temperature” was thus never perfect, but rather  always either too hot or too cold. Yet the perfect temperature always
D:Day27.12 always either too hot or too cold. Yet the perfect temperature  always existed, you just did not experience it. You were, in other
D:Day27.13 That you are who you are and that you have  always been the accomplished is a constant and an aspect of
D:Day27.16 well as the variability of the experience of the separate self, have  always been variables that exist within the constant of wholeness.
D:Day29.5 Your access to union, so newly discovered and yet  always existing within you, has been a part of the process that has
D:Day29.8 You are thus, as  always, the creator of your reality.
D:Day30.3 Despite unlimited variations being available, commonality is also  always available. Thus no matter how fractious are the separate
D:Day30.3 how fractious are the separate selves, commonality and wholeness  always exist and have always existed.
D:Day30.3 the separate selves, commonality and wholeness always exist and have  always existed.
D:Day31.5 realize oneness, but realize that you are a creator and that you  always have been.
D:Day33.10 The only way that you can do this is by  always knowing and never forgetting who you are. You are being in
D:Day35.2 of being is thus the answer that you have sought and that you have  always possessed.
D:Day35.3 is the cause and effect, the means and end of relationship. You have  always existed in relationship with God who is your being. But while
D:Day35.6 As was said before, the mountain came to you. You will thus  always have the power to call upon the mountain top experience and
D:Day35.19 made and create thus does not fully do justice to the power you have  always retained. But creating in separation is as different from
D:Day36.9 that you are now the creator of your experience. You have  always been creating because you have always been one in being with
D:Day36.9 of your experience. You have always been creating because you have  always been one in being with God who is endlessly creating. But you
D:Day36.10 truly create difference but only perceive of difference. You thus  always remained one in being with God, yet continued to relate only
D:Day36.13 Despite all of this, you have  always had some remembrance of yourself as a creator. Despite all of
D:Day36.14 Because you have  always been one in being with God, this power—this power of being—
D:Day36.14 been one in being with God, this power—this power of being—has  always been yours. The power to feel—love, hate, anger, compassion,
D:Day36.14 —love, hate, anger, compassion, greed, humility, and longing—has  always been yours. The power to think—rationally or passionately,
D:Day36.14 think—rationally or passionately, logically or instinctively—has  always been yours. The power to create—everything from weapons of

D:Day36.14 yours. The power to know or perceive—even an unreal reality—has  always been yours.

C:1.8 you literally carried a heavy and useless trunk from one world to  another when you had been told by someone wiser that it would not be
C:1.8 had been told and disregarded. You might try one more thing and then  another that you previously would not have tried when you were so
C:1.9 way. There is no shame in learning. No shame in following the course  another has put forth. Each true course changes in application. Fifty

C:1.14 struggle. It is your attraction to the game, a game you hope to win,  another chance to show your stamina and your strength, your quick
C:1.14 and your strength, your quick wits and your cunning mind. It is  another chance to prevail against the odds so stacked against you
C:2.6 that you are able to act in love in one instance and act in anger in  another, and that both actions originate from the same place, is an
C:3.3 in all humans. It is completely impossible for one to have what  another does not have. All is shared. This has always been true and
C:3.7 possess at all times and in all places. And so one disappoints and  another enthralls, one champions your cause and another denigrates
C:3.7 one disappoints and another enthralls, one champions your cause and  another denigrates you. In all scenarios you remain the maker of your
C:3.12 based solely on contrast. One chemical reacts one way and one reacts  another, and it is only in the study of the two that you believe
C:3.22 logic in love’s way. Some others might use their thoughts in yet  another manner, claiming to choose love and not pain when what they
C:4.9 of God in your world. All else assumes that what one has is denied  another. While love cannot be learned nor practiced, there is a
C:4.10 no losers and no winners under God’s law. Not one is given more than  another. God cannot love you more than your neighbor, nor can you
C:4.14 Your ideas of being in love are quite  another category all together. In this context love is not only full
C:4.15 him or her with praise and gifts, with attention never wavering.  Another who prizes independence seeks a partner in good health, not
C:4.18 to other areas of your life. Love is seen as personal, something  another gives in a special way to you alone, and you to him or her.
C:4.20 must have no place in this world that you have made but must have  another where you are at home and can abide within love’s presence.
C:4.21 you gain the strength you need to walk outside those doors again  another day. You spend your life intent upon retiring to this safe
C:5.4 you think of relationship, you think of one relationship and then  another. The one you share with this friend or that, with husband or
C:5.5 of your world. You think relationship exists between one body and  another, and while you think this is so, you will not understand
C:5.6 Relationship is what exists between one thing and  another. It is not one thing or another thing. It is not a third
C:5.6 is what exists between one thing and another. It is not one thing or  another thing. It is not a third thing in terms of being a third
C:5.6 all creation to sing a song of gladness. No one thing exists without  another. Cause and effect are one. Thus, one thing cannot cause
C:5.6 another. Cause and effect are one. Thus, one thing cannot cause  another without their being one or joined in truth.
C:5.15 nonetheless is truly real. To look inward at the real world requires  another kind of vision: the vision of your heart, the vision of love,
C:5.24 occurs that you have simply chosen the wrong thing and so choose  another and another, not stopping to realize that you choose among
C:5.24 you have simply chosen the wrong thing and so choose another and  another, not stopping to realize that you choose among illusions. You

C:6.13 you have given it. “Struggle to succeed and succeed to struggle yet  another day” is the life you have made, and the life you fear heaven
C:6.15 with war seek peace. Those who live with failure seek success. Put  another way, both are saying this: you seek to make sense of an
C:6.17 seen in heaven’s holy light. No longer do situations pit one against  another, making it impossible for anyone to achieve what they would
C:7.1 things within this world. “I had that idea,” you lament when  another succeeds where you have failed. “I could have been where that
C:7.3 Comparison of one thing to  another—a comparison that seeks out differences and magnifies them
C:7.14 There is  another way in which you withhold pieces of relationships for
C:7.18 into right and left hemispheres. One side has one function, one side  another. While your brain and your mind are not the same, your image
C:7.21 see the relationship between a pencil and your hand, your body and  another, the actions that you do and the effects they seem to cause.
C:7.21 your society. Thus the truth is different in one place than it is in  another and it even appears to be in conflict. You cling to known
C:8.3 seeing that you progress from one step, or one level of learning, to  another. This is more a process of remembering than learning, and
C:8.16 were you to accept this container as your home, you would not accept  another.
C:9.17 whom you observe seem to be separate as well. No one really believes  another to be as separate as he is. It always seems as if others have
C:9.18 Fear is nothing but a choice, and it can be replaced by choice of  another kind.
C:9.22 the body. That your sights are set on the care of the body alone is  another example of choosing an opposite for replacement.
C:9.37 is your definition of completion. What is missing in you is found in  another and together a sense of wholeness is achieved.
C:9.38 something for one part of yourself in one place and something for  another somewhere else. This one fulfills your need for friendship
C:9.38 stimulation. In one activity you express your creativity and in  another your prayerfulness. Like a diversified investment portfolio,
C:9.41 excited, or repelled. Here you watch the gladiators kill one  another for your amusement. Here is your notion of use displayed in
C:9.42 portrayal of individual desire. Slaves and masters but use one  another and the same laws bind both. Who is master and who is slave
C:9.43 seen as a bartering in which you trade your usefulness for that of  another. An employer has use for your skills and you have use for the
C:10.2 physical form. Joining is not the obliteration of one thing to make  another—joining makes each one whole, and in this wholeness one
C:10.3 consistent as a system. You cannot abandon one tenet and retain  another because by retaining part you retain all. This will lead to
C:10.7 Think of  another, a teacher or a parent, whose “voice” you hear as you go
C:12.24 hard to believe Creation itself can be benevolent and kind, or just  another name for love, but such it is. God is but creation’s starting
C:13.4 you will soon be ascribing some attributes to one spirit and not to  another, just to differentiate between them. The purpose here is to
C:13.5 love that washes over you from one may feel like courage, and from  another like gentleness, and while this is all part of what you are
C:14.2 in this seeking proclaim that one part of creation is better than  another part. You thus seek to fragment creation as you have
C:14.19 next is an exchange of sorts. Like two countries, one rich in oil,  another in grain, you set up dependencies that will keep you linked.
C:14.26 your own. And what you give to others you keep for yourself. Give  another specialness, and you keep it for yourself as well as see it
C:15.4 would not believe that your own desire for specialness or to make  another special could make a difference to many—or possibly even to
C:16.1 you felt from love only seemed to be available from one and not from  another. Love is not available from anyone in the way you think it
C:16.5 out. For judgment is what is required to make one special and  another not.
C:16.12 as foreign to you as is true love. You think forgiveness looks upon  another in judgment and pardons the wrongs you would enumerate. True
C:16.25 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 yourself
C:17.2 the space that you would fill as your own Self is held for you by  another part of your consciousness that has never left it. It is the
C:18.11 belief system can be changed, even when what is learned is shared at  another level.
C:18.12 or the “time” it takes for learning to pass from one level to  another through experience, for here learning is experienced in time.
C:19.5 securely in them. The first step in leading you to experience of  another kind is your willingness to accept that you are here to
C:19.13 one more layer to the unification of thought, and this brings up  another reason for our reliance on the heart. Thought, as you know
C:20.7 well, for an embrace, although it may begin with one reaching out to  another, concludes with mutuality, shared touch, a melding of one
C:20.7 concludes with mutuality, shared touch, a melding of one into  another. The embrace makes one of two.
C:20.39 All fear that what one gets means that less is available for  another is replaced with an understanding of abundance. Receiving
C:20.42 know that this is true or you may dwell in fantasies, desiring what  another has or some success, fame, or riches that seem impossible for
C:20.45 your feelings from expecting resistance to expecting willingness is  another key change that will lead toward wholeheartedness. When you

C:22.5 image of a straight line passing through not one, but many layers of  another substance.
C:22.12 forces are bombarding you. These forces must pass through one or  another of your five senses—which you might think of collectively
C:22.12 You instead deflect them, using your mind, which might be considered  another layer, to send them to various compartments—or, continuing
C:22.16 be the same person in a laboratory? Are you still who you are when  another takes you into his or her mind and assigns meaning to you?
C:23.2 your separated self. For, as each of you has found as you have loved  another, the more you love and long to possess a loved one, the more
C:23.7 would not be other than you are. No matter how much you grow to love  another, that love does not cause you to want to be the other person.

C:23.26 the key to unlearning. What you term as being in control is simply  another way of saying acting on old beliefs. As long as you attempt
C:23.27 the process of both unlearning and learning anew. This is but  another way of stating that which was stated in A Course in Miracles:
C:23.28 Looked at in  another way, this process has much in common with forgiveness. The

C:27.5 as important seems at one time like a function of the ego, and at  another as a function of the divine. You become confused between the
C:27.7 and the divine. Life is not a matter of one living thing versus  another, but of the relationship between all living things.
C:28.13 and to how you are guided to respond to them. One will be a teacher,  another a student. The difference will be clear if you listen with
C:29.13 a schedule in terms of your perception of it. Your schedule is just  another way of saying your life, and an alternative view of how you
C:29.22 own: You claim not to own or to separate what you have from what  another has and then to call it special. You claim in order to
C:29.23 How can one’s talent cause  another to be less talented? How can one’s service deprive anyone
C:29.26 Service is but  another way of stating this law of creation, this unbroken chain of
C:30.2 Self, for some purpose other than your Self. Thus was service given  another route for being separated from the Self and your function
C:31.14 of your existence: that giving and receiving are one in truth. Put  another way, all this says is that in order to be your Self, you have
C:31.33 from them, what is truly occurring? How can this work? This is but  another aspect of giving and receiving being one in truth. Giving and
C:31.37 this is not the case is the relationship of teacher and student.  Another relationship that expects change and growth is that of parent

T1:5.4 of creation when such suffering occurs within it? But there is  another aspect that relates to the fear of union we spent much time
T1:6.2 and divine memory cannot help but produce a divine outcome. Said in  another way, prayer reproduces the truth and allows the truth to
T1:8.10 woman to join with man in order for new life to come forth, is but  another example of how your memory of creation was made to serve what
T1:9.4 reflects inner change. The growth of a new being within the womb of  another is a visible manifestation of gestation, which is the prelude
T1:9.15 position, think one’s way through, argue, manipulate, or chastise  another so that you feel better in relationship to the other in the
T1:9.15 first reaction might be one of self-pity, of making oneself or  another feel guilty, or of experiencing a sense of diminished
T1:10.6 example to your brothers and sisters, an example that says there is  another way.

T3:1.11 and a social self in another, a parent in one role and a friend in  another, than you did in defining a past self, a present self and a
T3:3.5 past. Even your successes were often claimed to be at the expense of  another or to have come in spite of failings most severe. While
T3:3.9 quite this drastic, your thoughts might tell you that if you were in  another job, devoid of certain familial responsibilities, or the need

D:Day27.9 Looking in one direction, you might see only darkness. Looking in  another, you might see the dawning of light. Opposites exist only as
D:Day28.20 constant that has not been affected by the variable of time. Said in  another way, eternity and time are part of the same continuum as are
D:Day29.2 conditions, at times complementing and at times opposing one  another. Just as mind and heart became one in wholeheartedness and
D:Day29.4 forward what already exists into the reality in which you exist.  Another way of saying this is bringing who you are into wholeness,
D:Day29.5 may have seen it as access to information or sensory experiences of  another kind, it is, in actuality, access to a state of being.
D:Day30.5 to not experience joining is to not experience wholeness. Stated  another way, the self cannot know the Self without joining with the

D:Day37.11 Subtract any sum from  another and you will realize that subtraction results in a new
D:Day37.17 from which you are separate? You can imagine what it means to “know”  another person, to be a tree blowing in the wind, what it would be

D:Day38.3 of our shared being, and enter into relationship with one  another. I ask you to turn your attention, I ask you to be attentive,
D:Day38.4 Being full of love for one  another is the beginning of extension, the end of withdrawal. It is
D:Day38.6 co-creator or friend. But call yourself mine. For we belong to one  another.
D:Day38.9 You are my own. We are the beloved when we are the beloved to one  another, when we are who I Am to one another.
D:Day38.9 when we are the beloved to one another, when we are who I Am to one  another.
D:Day39.2 we are. Individuated beings are who we are in relationship to one  another.

A.10 is a natural desire to let the words of the Course enter you in yet  another way—the way of voice. Again it is not required nor even
A.12 to perceive. I ask you not to receive as one who does not have what  another has, as this is not a passing on of information that you do
A.12 you but to give yourself a chance to let the relief of not having  another task to apply your effort to fill you. I ask you but to give

D:4.22 fear doing what you want to do because you might fail, if you follow  another’s path and seek not your own, then you have imprisoned

D:Day3.25 only through effort will you gain, and that with your gain will come  another’s loss. In other words, here is where you must accept the

C:2.14 What  answer then is left but that you do not see reality for what it is?
C:3.20 you be asked if you would have other than the love you would not  answer yes. What else is worth such cost, such suffering, so many
C:9.21 is respected. To replace the temporary with the temporary is not an  answer.
C:9.22 You may be thinking now that what I have just told you is not an  answer is precisely what the Bible has instructed you to do. I am
C:11.16 and that goes out to truth and not illusion. It is a call whose  answer will come to you quickly on the wings of angels, a fluttering
C:12.2 You feel a little duped at being told love is the  answer. You feel a little chastised to be told you know love not. You
C:12.2 You think it is typical of a spiritual text to tell you love is the  answer, as if it has not been said before. This message was preached
C:12.2 and still the world remains the same. How could this be the correct  answer when this is so? Life is too complicated to be solved by love.
C:12.3 love, and all of you believe you have evidence that it is not the  answer at all. What is your evidence? Your own failure to be happy
C:14.12 felt as if it was—could it prove anything but that love is no  answer, and surely not for you?
C:16.2 You may ask now why it doesn’t seem so, and the only  answer is that you do not want it to. You perceive but what you wish
C:19.18 of adjustment and thus of training before you can be aware of the  answer you will receive. It is clear you can ask for what you know
C:25.23 concern that is in need of appropriate action will suffice. When an  answer comes to you, acknowledge that it is an answer from your new

C:26.20 This is why all answers have disappointed you in the past. Your  answer is not the same as any other. No matter how filled with wisdom
C:26.20 the same as any other. No matter how filled with wisdom one person’s  answer may be, it is not yours.
C:27.1 do all errors lie. For what quest can be fulfilled when the only  answer to life seems to be death? This is why and how my death and
C:27.1 be death? This is why and how my death and resurrection provided an  answer and an end to the need for answers.
C:31.11 again, your perception of your thoughts as yourself is the closest  answer to the truth that you were able, in your limited view of
T1:2.3 again. The questions you have asked concerning how love could be the  answer when it has been preached by so many for so long is answered
T1:2.3 it has been preached by so many for so long is answered here. The  answer lies in your response to love. To respond is to answer. You
T1:2.3 here. The answer lies in your response to love. To respond is to  answer. You have sought your “answer” everywhere, but here is where
T1:2.4 are the expression and extension of your true Self. They are the  answer of the Created to the Creator, the answer of the Self to God.
T1:2.4 true Self. They are the answer of the Created to the Creator, the  answer of the Self to God.
T1:4.12 You may  answer that there are many, even within this Course’s definition of
T1:5.1 they remain forever countless, has fear of God remained? The only  answer possible is because fear of the Self has remained.
T1:9.14 These may be difficult questions to  answer as your initial reaction and your response will likely have

T1:10.14 what words you use to describe it, is your answer to God and God’s  answer to you. Peace is the inheritance I left you. Peace of body,
T2:4.19 of response, you will begin to see that each new response is the  answer to a call that your heart alone can hear. As I have said, your

T3:5.6 could God’s love be if it were given to a people who suffered. The  answer was that God’s love was so mighty that he would even allow the
T3:12.4 self begin to realize the human experience outside of time? The  answer is thus: by changing the consciousness of the personal self
T3:21.20 The  answer too will seem contradictory, for the answer lies in realizing
T3:21.20 The answer too will seem contradictory, for the  answer lies in realizing that your former identity does not matter,
T3:21.20 Further, there are even two aspects to this contradictory seeming  answer. One is that your certainty regarding the identity of your
T3:22.1 Although the entire purpose of these Treatises is to  answer the question of what to do with what you have learned, chances
T4:1.5 Are you willing to be the chosen of God? All are asked. What is your  answer?
T4:1.14 The only  answer might seem to lie in the laws of evolution, the slow learning
T4:1.14 and adaptive process of man. Surely this would seem a likely  answer and one to assuage your guilt and uncertainty, your fear of
T4:8.16 know all there is to know about this one thing. This was the ego’s  answer to being a learning being—choosing something to learn that
D:2.22 Self and the consciousness shared by all for the creation of a new  answer, the answer to the only remaining question; that of how to
D:2.22 consciousness shared by all for the creation of a new answer, the  answer to the only remaining question; that of how to sustain
D:4.31 is neither the same nor different. You will see that there is one  answer, an answer different for everyone and yet the same for
D:4.31 the same nor different. You will see that there is one answer, an  answer different for everyone and yet the same for everyone. That
D:4.31 an answer different for everyone and yet the same for everyone. That  answer is acceptance of your Self. That answer is acceptance of the
D:4.31 the same for everyone. That answer is acceptance of your Self. That  answer is acceptance of the new you.
D:5.16 This is the  answer to the question of “What is next?” If there is nothing to
D:5.17 and that occur as this dialogue proceeds. What I am attempting to  answer now is your confusion concerning what is. This is crucial as
D:5.18 what I am addressing here. Release through death is no longer the  answer. Release through life is the answer. Release through
D:5.18 through death is no longer the answer. Release through life is the  answer. Release through resurrection is the answer. You have died to
D:5.18 through life is the answer. Release through resurrection is the  answer. You have died to the old. But surely it would seem easier in
D:6.24 acceptance. What might the body be called to accept? This is an easy  answer, as you have already called upon the body to accept the
D:7.4 of what you have learned. In order to experience the new you must  answer the call to let revelation and discovery, rather than
D:11.9 How might this relate to your desire to make a contribution and  answer your calling? How does this relate to your desire to know what
D:11.12 to a new way of seeing, for those willing to suspend disbelief, the  answer to the giving and receiving of these words will provide the
D:11.12 answer to the giving and receiving of these words will provide the  answer to the question your thoughts cannot quite comprehend well
D:11.12 cannot quite comprehend well enough to even articulate, much less to  answer.
D:Day1.14 In which the suffering and death that have obscured that love is the  answer are banished, rejected, and a new world of love accepted in
D:Day3.29 feel you have learned the secret of money, the secret of success:  Answer truly if you really believe this, or if you are merely
D:Day3.33 You might think that money earned from what you love to do is the  answer, just as you might think that money spent on the more lasting
D:Day3.34 and anger at this suggestion fall away. I know you expect a flowery  answer, and surely not one that will be a “one, two, three steps to
D:Day3.34 surely not one that will be a “one, two, three steps to abundance”  answer; but I will try to address you in an in-between tone, one that

D:Day32.19 Would this  answer your questions concerning how God is both different and the

D:Day33.2 Relationship is the interconnective tissue that is all life. The  answer of how to respond to each and every relationship—and

D:Day39.4 You may find it difficult to give yourself an  answer to who I Am to you in words, and even if you are able to do
D:Day39.4 and even if you are able to do so, you may not be able to share this  answer in a way that makes sense to anyone else. Let this tell you
A.13 are ready to question what you must. Now you are ready to hear the  answer that arises in your own heart or from the voice of the man or

C:P.4 This is a basic question that was not adequately  answered in A Course in Miracles. While a course in miracles is

C:I.6 does not allow the mind’s separate stance, its rules, or its right  answers. The heart is needed because it is who and where you are and

C:31.28 you find varies. Since there is only one truth, finding a variety of  answers means nothing. If you but change what you look for, what you
C:31.29 you are changes day-to-day, you are reflecting the very variety of  answers they expect to find and have been finding elsewhere.
C:32.1 previously looked to those who do not know the difference for your  answers. Now you can see that you need to look to a different source.
T1:3.22 that has already occurred? You have far too many questions without  answers to choose a miracle.
T4:1.4 is not taking. Choosing implies relationship. Just as there are  answers to choose between on a test, some of them correct and some of
T4:1.4 some of them correct and some of them incorrect, there are some  answers that are not offered to be chosen because they do not relate

T2:8.3 is giving and receiving as one. What you gain will take nothing from  anyone. What another is able to give you will take nothing from them,
T3:11.12 sisters think they are. The house of illusion is not a hell to which  anyone has been banished. It can at times be a chosen hell, just as
T3:15.4 other than who they are. This is consistent with the truth. Yet who  anyone is, is not contingent upon whom they have represented
T3:20.18 from them, not from special ones of your choosing, and not from  anyone. Thus you are released from a burden never meant to rest upon
T3:21.23 It is not being said that  anyone should, or will, remain blind to the unity that exists beyond
T4:1.9 of coming to know. No choice is not such. No choice ever excludes  anyone from coming to know his or her chosen lesson.
T4:2.7 it does not exist within them. You are no more accomplished than  anyone has been or is or will be. The truth of who you are is as

C:4.22 the mess that has been made, to attempt to restore order to chaos,  anything so that the angry ones feel less alone with what their anger

C:7.15 is indeed withholding, and in your world you know not how to claim  anything for yourself without withholding it from someone else. You
C:9.11 are merely saving time, and that your real Self has no need to use  anything at all.
C:9.13 as a capsule definition of your entire problem: You do not allow  anything that exists in your world, including yourself, to be what it
C:9.30 use. Without a user, would it have any function at all? Would it be  anything? An automobile abandoned and without a user might become the

C:14.24 makes it what it is to you. And as each purpose you have ascribed to  anything proceeds from the foundation of fear that built your world,
C:14.25 any closer to it than you are. While you realize not the purpose of  anything in truth, you cannot know love or your own Self.

C:18.14 A mind and heart in conflict is what keeps you from desiring  anything fully, and thus from creating.
C:19.1 a sense of self as separate, and you could not fully experience  anything without your free will. A separate self with a free will
C:19.17 less than any other number. Yet, on the other hand, when only one of  anything exists it is highly prized. God is thus “God” due, at least
C:20.13 has ended. A new time of no time awaits. Nothing is like unto  anything else. Likeness, like thingness, has been overcome with

C:31.27 Being of one mind is being of one truth, and how can you be of  anything less? Only the ego sprang from a lie, the lie of separation
C:31.34 that this occurs, because only in relationship are you experiencing  anything.
C:32.1 the roles of teacher and learner. A teacher is first and foremost  anything that aids your remembering. Thus look not at the form in
C:32.5 by Love. Do not grieve your thoughts or believe in loss of  anything of any kind. Thus will all you have already received be
T1:2.6 issues to such a degree that it left you unable to respond purely to  anything. The so-called thinking of the ego-mind could be likened to

T2:8.3 to be the most sincere form of relationship. Relationship based on  anything other than who you are is but a mockery of relationship. The
T2:9.5 contrast implied by the intent to hang on. The desire to hang on to  anything assumes that what you have is in need of protection or that
T2:12.5 or correction are the same thing. While you believe there is  anything other than your own thinking that is in need of correction

T3:11.14 I remind you here that you are not being asked to see  anything that is not the truth. This is why the word see is
T3:11.15 in a new way and to produce a new outcome. Do not be afraid to use  anything available within the house of illusion to promote the
T3:16.2 same as saying that you do not need to, and in truth, cannot, give  anything else or anything less. You do not need to give your effort
T3:16.2 that you do not need to, and in truth, cannot, give anything else or  anything less. You do not need to give your effort to this calling.
T3:19.10 in many ways, none of which will lead you to feel that you have lost  anything of value to you.

T4:8.7 dreams in which anything can happen without any need for you to “do”  anything, and then becoming a form where expressing yourself depended
T4:8.14 It was only the ego that made this desire seem to be for  anything other than the purpose of expansion and enrichment of your

D:12.15 came into your mind, how seldom in the past you have been sure of  anything. You may have been amazed at this new authority, and you may
D:12.15 amazed at this new authority, and you may have desired more than  anything to have others realize that you really know something, that
D:12.16 to arise simply because you do not expect yourself to be certain of  anything, and certainly do not expect yourself to be certain about
D:12.17 You think it is perfectly sane to go through life without knowing  anything “beyond a shadow of a doubt,” without knowing anything with

D:Day4.54 to move forward with love and without fear and that there is still  anything that can hold you back. This is what the time of acceptance

D:Day32.15 not be in relationship. If the natural world around you has revealed  anything to you of the nature of life and God, it has revealed to you
D:Day35.12 this way. A new world can only be created. To proceed relying upon  anything other than your power to create would be to only attempt to
D:Day35.14 It should not take much consideration to know that to create from  anything but love could have disastrous effects. This has been seen
D:Day37.4 you saw yourself as a separate being, and incapable of creating  anything except, just possibly, the relationship you would choose to

anyway (2)

C:21.7 that your mind sees one truth and your heart another, and you act  anyway! You act without agreement or resolution. You act without
T1:3.23 of scarcity. For surely the working of one miracle would be a fluke  anyway. Proof of nothing and easily discounted and explained away.

anywhere (4)

C:8.17 desire to return to. Yet it is where you are, and you could not be  anywhere else. Your home is here. You think this is incongruous with
C:11.1 not really desire it. What you desire is what cannot be given from  anywhere but your own Source. Again you realize this aspect of
C:16.2 for, and your wish for specialness leads you not to see sameness  anywhere at all, for what is the same cannot be special.
C:25.13 without love. While you believe feelings of lack of love come from  anywhere but within, you will not be invulnerable.

C:1.15 made this world for: to prove your separate existence in a world  apart from your Creator. This world does not exist. And you do not
C:1.15 from your Creator. This world does not exist. And you do not exist  apart from your Creator. Your yearning for love is what tells you
C:2.16 that to know with your mind is a learning process that stands  apart from all else that you are. Thus you can know without that
C:2.16 think you can love without love being who you are. Nothing stands  apart from your being. Nothing stands alone. All your attempts to
C:3.23 Think you not that love can be kept  apart from life in any way. But we begin now to take life’s judgment
C:4.18 your days or the way your days will end. Love is all that is set  apart in your perception from what you do here. You think this
C:4.18 in your perception from what you do here. You think this setting  apart gives love little relevance to other areas of your life. Love
C:4.20 A thing set  apart from the madness of the world is useful now. It may not be what
C:4.20 love is, but what love is has guided you in choosing to set love  apart from what you call the real world, from that which is, in fact,

C:5.8 you recognized it had no place here; but you went on to set yourself  apart and all else that you could find to define as valuable. You

C:5.14 ever had with anything. Outside of you is all that you have kept  apart, labeled, judged, and collected on your shelves.
C:6.2 Your brother does not exist  apart from you, nor you from your brother. This is reality. Your mind
C:7.5 too is one that can be used, for it recognizes that you are as  apart from this world as love is. The harsh realities of the world
C:8.1 your heart you have defined as your emotions. These thoughts stand  apart from the wisdom of your heart that we have already discussed—
C:8.1 that we have already discussed—the wisdom that knows to set love  apart, as well as your own Self. Emotions, the thoughts of your
C:8.19 way to achieve this, but as you observe you learn to hold yourself  apart from what you see. A reminder is needed here, however, a
C:9.5 look upon? Your body too was created for its usefulness. It sets you  apart, just as each item in your room is set apart by what it is
C:9.5 usefulness. It sets you apart, just as each item in your room is set  apart by what it is useful for. Ask yourself now: To whom is your
C:12.17 within you and do not splinter off and become something on their own  apart from you. Imagine this occurring and you will see how senseless
C:14.10 your idea of heaven. For what you require of love is that it set you  apart and make you special. Much more is demanded of those you love
C:16.10 love as being capable of neither. Love seems to operate on its own  apart from what your mind would bid it do, and this is why you fear
C:17.14 All that has proceeded from fear is nothing, and has no existence  apart from your own thoughts.
C:20.17 The world does not exist  apart from you, and so you must realize your compassionate
C:20.17 sharing the one heartbeat. The heartbeat of the world does not exist  apart from God. The heartbeat of the world is thus alive and part of
C:20.20 wholeness, of all, and for it not to exist? And how could it exist  apart from you? Oneness with Christ, dear brother and sister, is
C:21.2 you of what was said earlier concerning relationships existing  apart from particulars. I repeat that relationship exists between one
C:22.15 things to a stop where they can be examined under a microscope quite  apart from their relationship to you or to anything else.
C:22.16 Imagine yourself brought to such a halt and examined  apart from everything else within your world. Anyone wanting to learn
C:26.8 I say we because we are life. I say we because we cannot live love  apart from one another.
C:27.2 being is itself all purpose, all honor, all glory. There is no being  apart from being. There is no being alive and being dead, being human
C:29.6 He would but tell you this: My child, return to me. God has no Will  apart from yours. Your return to unity is all God seeks for you, for
T2:1.8 it may feel like a bubble of protection, something that sets you  apart from life and the chaos that seems to reign there. You must

T2:9.4 to having a reaction to this meeting of a need as if it takes place  apart from you, or from outside of you. You assign the meeting of a

D:3.12 thus giving and receiving is an idea, as are all ideas, that exists  apart from form. Giving and receiving are thus one within the shared
D:9.12 ideas are also discoveries that you make, discoveries that exist  apart from learning. Ideas “come to you.” They are given and
D:16.6 in eternal wholeness. Love cannot be learned, and so has stood  apart from the time of learning. Being could be learned here, because
D:16.9 what is lies in choice. While you think that you can choose to stand  apart from God, apart from Love, apart from Creation, you cannot. But
D:16.9 choice. While you think that you can choose to stand apart from God,  apart from Love, apart from Creation, you cannot. But you can, while

D:Day10.35 of urgency are converging. When your reliance on all that exists  apart from your Self—your reliance on science and technology and
D:Day31.2 either knower or known. This is why experience has seemed to exist  apart from you. You say, “I had this experience” or “I had that
D:Day35.16 relationship has led to this desire. Creation itself, which stands  apart from particulars but united with wholeness, has led to this
D:Day35.18 and separate from all others. Thus what you have “created” has stood  apart from wholeness. What is not created in unity could be said to
D:Day36.3 experiences in their totality you call your life. Yet you have stood  apart from these experiences—all of them. You can look back on your

appeal (15)

C:I.1 This course was written for the mind—but only to move the mind to  appeal to the heart. To move it to listen. To move it to accept
C:1.11 not consider this an issue of concern. This is another reason we  appeal to the heart.
C:3.17 of your heart were foolishness indeed. It is to our hearts that we  appeal for guidance, for there resides the one who truly guides.
C:7.8 To this Self is this  appeal put forth. Let it be heard and held within your heart. Hold it

D:Day27.4 gave way and you saw clearly, if only for an instant. You saw  as if from a great distance, and because of that great distance, your

D:Day28.26 Presently it is  as if you follow two threads, the thread that has led you to the
D:Day31.2 you. You say, “I had this experience” or “I had that experience,”  as if you have “had” contact and interaction with circumstances or

A.33 members may wonder if they are missing something. They may feel  as if they have not experienced unity or as if they are no closer to
A.33 something. They may feel as if they have not experienced unity or  as if they are no closer to knowing themselves or God. They may feel

C:21.5 problems associated with a lack of a common language have been set  aside when the actions needed in a certain circumstance have demanded
C:27.14 a call to be in relationship with it. It is the willingness to set  aside judgment so that you are not contemplating what “should” be
T1:3.13 without seeing all you fear for what it is and choosing to lay it  aside?
T1:4.22 something gives you a feeling of open-mindedness and growth. Lay  aside your desire for reasons for self-congratulation in favor of
T1:8.8 God. The resurrection was evidence of this accomplishment. It laid  aside death’s claim and with it the claim of all that is temporary.
T2:2.4 it takes in today’s world to follow a calling to teach. To set  aside other careers that offer far more prestige and economic gain to
T3:16.15 who you are in truth will create a new heaven on earth, you can lay  aside any fears that others will suffer due to the changes your new
T3:20.15 there! You can only call others to a willingness to set illusion  aside and to begin the journey home to unity. You can only call to
D:14.4 belief that was spoken of earlier. You will need, in short, to set  aside the known in order to discover the unknown.
D:Day1.28 Lay  aside your want of other answers, other stories, and accept the story

C:1.8 that it would not be needed, you would upon realizing the truth  ask yourself what else you had been told and disregarded. You might
C:3.20 Must pain accompany love and loss? Is this the price you pay, you  ask, for opening up your heart? And yet, should you be asked if you
C:5.26 Give up what you want? This is surely what you have expected God to  ask of you and what you have spent your lifetime guarding against.
C:5.28 must be some secret you do not know. What is the difference, you  ask, between setting a goal and achieving it and joining with
C:6.14 Few  ask for the grace to give up what has been for what could be. For
C:7.22 that anyone with any sanity would gladly toss it to the wind and  ask for an alternative. An alternative exists. Not in dreams of
C:9.5 as each item in your room is set apart by what it is useful for.  Ask yourself now: To whom is your body useful? This question does not
C:9.28 what God created and remains as God created it. You do not have to  ask yourself to stretch your belief beyond these simple statements.
C:9.34 would prove to God that you can “make a go of it” before you would  ask Him for His help.
C:9.46 to hurt yourself. How could God allow all this suffering, you  ask? Why does He tempt you with such destructive forces? Forces
C:10.17 body, also observe its actions in terms of the choices it makes.  Ask yourself, “What choice may have led to this situation or event?”
C:10.17 control is your own mind, and this need not be. When you begin to  ask yourself, What choice might lead to happiness instead of this,
C:10.32 it. You will want to keep it theoretical and not apply it. You will  ask for the information, and say you would really rather not have the
C:11.15 from your Source and to be loved for who you are. Is this so much to  ask?
C:12.8 for from it all the rest will come. As such, this Course seems to  ask for change at every level, and yet from one change alone will all
C:13.2 not your mind, and begin to include others in your observation, I  ask you to concentrate on one thing only. This is a simple exercise,
C:13.2 is a simple exercise, and enjoyable too. It but calls for you to  ask one thing: Ask yourself what you already know of the spirit of
C:13.2 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 you
C:13.5 of longing or sadness of any kind. Because it is complete, it will  ask nothing of you, but will seem to offer you a warm welcome, as if
C:13.7 remember that you already know that you are more than your body, and  ask yourself if it makes sense to not do all you can to become aware
C:13.9 What further objections can you have, for here we  ask you not to follow any instruction other than that of your own
C:14.2 and being different from all the rest, this is the goal you  ask creation to bow down to, a goal that never can be achieved any
C:14.22 separation but it is still the same. For in your separated state you  ask that love make you special to someone else, and that one special
C:14.31 Let us  ask instead how loving all as one can bring harm? If you love all the

C:17.17 united mind and heart is a whole heart, or wholeheartedness. You may  ask then why this Course has treated them as separate parts of you.
C:19.8 saw me, they too would remember who they are. This is the role I  ask you to accept so that you can provide for others what was
C:19.18 for your separated state and it was made so. Now you need to but  ask for unity to return for it to be so. The condition or state of
C:19.18 for it to be so. The condition or state of being from which you  ask is what is in need of adjustment and thus of training before you
C:19.18 you can be aware of the answer you will receive. It is clear you can  ask for what you know not. This is not the problem. The problem is in
C:19.18 the possibility of response, you will find yourself more afraid to  ask. All your asking or prayer awaits is but your belief in the love
C:20.38 grace and cooperation that flow from love. Hope is a willingness to  ask for help, believing it will come. Hope is the reason and the
C:23.29 You might  ask, how do you learn what you have failed to learn previously? What
C:25.1 is to be prayerful. As we said in the beginning, to pray is to  ask for all to be included in what you do. Devotion is thus our first
C:26.10 and what they might mean, who strive to find the clues to what they  ask you to do, will find it difficult to cease your struggle and your
C:28.2 spectator sport and it is not meant to be thus. How, then, you might  ask, is the truth brought to those still living in illusion?
C:29.1 and to be of service. This is the meaning of which we speak when we  ask for a commitment to life that requires your attention. It is both
C:29.21 inheritance. You have felt that you need to know for what it is you  ask. And yet you cannot know until you inherit. Can you have faith
T1:3.7 I  ask you now to request a miracle.
T1:3.8 What kind of a miracle should you  ask for? How big of a miracle should you request? How big is your
T1:3.8 your faith? How much proof does it require? I speak not in jest but  ask you to seriously consider just what kind of miracle is needed to
T1:3.9 an attempt to convince you to think otherwise about yourself. If you  ask for a cure for a disease, how will you know that this cure is a
T1:3.18 what any miracle would have on the rest of the world. If you were to  ask for a life to be spared, how would you know it was not that
T1:3.18 you know it was not that person’s “time to die”? If you were to  ask for the cure of a disease, how would you know that disease was
T1:3.18 was not meant to be to further someone’s learning? If you were to  ask to win the lottery, how could such selfishness not be punished?
T1:6.6 not the union that is the prerequisite. To pray out of fear is to  ask from an unreal state of lack for what is seen as missing or
T1:9.13 as stereotypical, I will give just a few brief examples. These I  ask you to cull from your own recent experience. What has caused the
T1:10.9 give up these types of experiences. But you have already had them! I  ask you not to give them up. Only to make now a new choice.
T2:9.1 I  ask you now to remember a time when you felt from another the desire
T2:10.3 I  ask you to think for a moment of a time when you attempted to recall
T3:10.2 in forgetting. As often as is possible within your daily life, I  ask you to forget as much of what you have learned as you are able.
T3:10.3 The first thing I  ask you to forget is your need to find a place where blame can be
T3:10.4 than this and 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
T3:14.1 peaceful and meaningful life, but you will not become the savior I  ask you to be, or the architects of the new world of heaven on earth
T3:14.10 fine for some others not to regret their choices but not for you, I  ask you to trust in my assurance that this is not so. You must choose
T3:20.8 it? What you might even call the “fact” of it? Can you not instead  ask yourself what harm could be done by offering a new kind of
T3:20.14 to be of service to the world. But I call to you from peace and  ask for you to remain in peace with me and let not the suffering of
T3:20.16 heard, and your brother or sister reaches out to you, all you need  ask for is a little willingness. All you need do is open the door
T3:21.19 you to exist as who you are in human form. How, you might rightly  ask, can you cease to identify yourself as you always have and use
T3:22.6 While you cannot “work” at being receptive, and while I also do not  ask you to “work” to break the pattern of planning, I do ask you to
T3:22.6 also do not ask you to “work” to break the pattern of planning, I do  ask you to let it go and to replace it with observation.
T4:1.6 Why, you might  ask, is a word such as chosen used, when many other words would do,
T4:6.1 Now I  ask you to consider the part you play in the creation of this
T4:6.4 of unity and a return of all to the state natural to all is what I  ask you to imagine, envision and desire.
T4:6.5 I  ask you to share a vision of what is, the very vision of what is that
T4:8.8 You might  ask how, if what I’m saying is true, could God disconnect from
T4:10.3 of your life for the lessons contained therein. So how, you might  ask, do you quit now, doing what you have so long done?
T4:12.19 of knowledge that you feel is necessary before you can go on. But I  ask you to try to remember to turn to the new rather than the old
T4:12.35 fear, a future with unlimited freedom. For what more could we  ask? And what more could be asked of us?
D:4.20 you are no longer a prisoner. Do not give keys to a new jailer and  ask to be taken care of in exchange for your newfound freedom.
D:7.28 may never travel 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
D:8.1 Continuing to imagine your body as the dot within the circle, I  ask you to imagine now being able to take a step outside of the area
D:11.6 Let me  ask you a question. Do you think desire will still be with you when
D:Day2.10 Let me  ask you now, are these feelings—feelings that are attached to your
D:Day2.11 would rather not accept. They happened. They were what they were. I  ask you not to forget. If your home had been destroyed by a tornado
D:Day3.21 you have to give. To reach a position in which you feel you need to  ask for money from others, even from a bank, is seen as a dire
D:Day3.21 Even those who are seen by others as constant “takers,” unafraid to  ask for a “hand out” or free lunch, experience these same emotions,
D:Day3.27 to sacrifice, as you have been told time and time again. I do not  ask you to give up what you desire, but to expect and accept a
D:Day3.50 learning, of promises seemingly made and not kept. Where, you may  ask, is the lack of struggle that has been promised? Why do you still
D:Day4.19 idea of succession. What I asked of my disciples is not more than I  ask of you. I asked them to follow in my way. I asked them to be, not
D:Day4.31 to this time of Christ-consciousness upon this time. It is as if you  ask to see clearly and then hold your hands over your eyes. You
D:Day4.41 But what, you might  ask, of the elevated Self of form? Why is this suddenly a choice
D:Day6.2 Although it is being handled in this way partially because to  ask you to walk away from your “normal” life for forty days and forty
D:Day9.32 You might  ask here what is wrong with desiring to have the freedom to strive to
D:Day9.32 to have the freedom to strive to be more and to do more. You might  ask what life would be for without this type of freedom to strive, to
D:Day10.20 I  ask you not to give up your relationship with me as the man Jesus,
D:Day10.20 a representation, in form, of Christ-consciousness. I do, however,  ask you to give up your identification of the voice of this dialogue
D:Day35.5 So you might  ask, was it once possible for you to be so unaware of your being that
D:Day37.7 How then, you might  ask, are you distinct from God? Is your body distinct from your
D:Day37.15 But more fundamentally than even all of this, you might  ask, if you are one in being with God, is it being said that you are
D:Day38.3 of our shared being, and enter into relationship with one another. I  ask you to turn your attention, I ask you to be attentive, to the
D:Day38.3 relationship with one another. I ask you to turn your attention, I  ask you to be attentive, to the relationship that you feel with God.
D:Day40.17 You would perhaps beg to differ now, and  ask of me, “Are you not who you are ‘separately’ from relationship?”
A.12 I am only telling you to receive before you seek to perceive. I  ask you not to receive as one who does not have what another has, as
A.12 this is not a passing on of information that you do not possess. I  ask you merely to receive in order to learn receptivity, the way of
A.12 to receive in order to learn receptivity, the way of the heart. I  ask you only to pause, to give the mind a rest, to enter a realm
A.12 to enter a realm foreign to the mind and yet beloved to the heart. I  ask you but to give yourself a chance to let the relief of not having
A.12 of not having another task to apply your effort to fill you. I  ask you but to give yourself a chance to forget about approaching

asked (109)

C:P.20 you do not know how to do what God asks of you. You think, if God  asked me to build a bridge I would build a bridge, and this is likely
C:3.14 no data for it to compute. The only change in thinking you are  asked to make is to realize that you do not need it.
C:3.20 you pay, you ask, for opening up your heart? And yet, should you be  asked if you would have other than the love you would not answer yes.
C:5.26 would your life be for? You want so little really. How can you be  asked to give this up?
C:7.22 Realize that when you are  asked to give this up, you are asked to give up an existence so
C:7.22 Realize that when you are asked to give this up, you are  asked to give up an existence so morbid that anyone with any sanity
C:9.25 All that you are  asked to give up is your insane notion that you are alone. We speak
C:9.42 the demands your body places upon you? The same question can be  asked of this world you see as home to the body. Which is master and
C:10.16 be reasons not to choose this. At this point, however, all that is  asked is that your body is seen as what it is—both in terms of what
C:11.15 What willingness is it that you are  asked to give? It can come in many manners and be given many forms.
C:13.5 this is all part of what you are encouraged to feel, it is simply  asked that you let the feelings come and with them the realization
C:13.10 the slightest chance of being made to look foolish by what you are  asked to do.
C:14.8 You are not  asked to believe the unbelievable, or to disregard all that reason
C:14.8 all that reason would say to you. Only the opposite is true. You are  asked rather to give up the laws of chaos for the laws of reason. The
C:16.15 not are all that make your life worth living. You think that to be  asked to give up the caution, protection, and vigilance that protects
C:16.15 moments of joy and people you love as well as your own self is to be  asked to live a life of even greater risk than that which you live
C:19.10 communion, the language of the heart. This is why you have been  asked to experience the spirit of your brothers and sisters rather
C:19.12 at all times by all those who believed in me—and perfection is not  asked of you. As can be clearly seen from the records left to you,
C:19.18 As was said in the beginning, praying is asking. You but  asked for your separated state and it was made so. Now you need to
C:20.33 for dominance. The universe is a dance of cooperation. You are but  asked to rejoin the dance.
C:22.21 When you are  asked questions such as, “How was your day?” respond as much as
T1:1.7 of your over-worked and over-stimulated mind were what you were  asked to leave behind as this act of leaving behind was the only
T1:2.3 be to respond to love the same way again. The questions you have  asked concerning how love could be the answer when it has been
T1:3.6 in what is, is a faith in miracles. Miracles are what you are now  asked to call upon. For calling upon miracles is an act of faith. You
T1:3.9 harm could come from it? And yet even this you would fear for if you  asked for such a miracle and it came to be, you would then have to
T1:3.11 failure would require you to contemplate your lack of it. If you  asked for a miracle and it did not come to be, wouldn’t it negate all
T1:3.14 urgency of your return to unity. If not now, then soon, you will be  asked to make this final choice, this choice to leave fear behind for
T1:3.18 Secondly you would object to being  asked to choose a miracle. Surely you cannot know the consequences of
T1:4.2 the illusion of fear, the illusion of specificity. You have not been  asked to request a specific miracle. Although your thoughts have
T1:4.9 to respond. This response is only yours to give and is all you are  asked to give. This response comes from within the Self—the rightly
T1:4.26 responded to Creation with fear. Is it no wonder a new response is  asked of you?
T1:5.12 This is why I have  asked you to choose the manner in which you would be once and finally
T1:7.4 Christ is here. I have said that the time of parables has ended and  asked you not to look to those historical figures that taught in such
T1:9.5 Now you are  asked to carry new life not in the womb but in the united mind and
T1:10.2 My peace is yours. You have  asked for it and it has been given to you. To not have it, you will
T1:10.7 Are you being  asked to give up extremes? Yes. You are being asked to give up all
T1:10.7 Are you being asked to give up extremes? Yes. You are being  asked to give up all that would take peace from you. But as you have
T1:10.12 are extremes of reaction to a chosen lesson. What you are being  asked to leave behind is the need for such lessons. If you have
T2:4.8 has been given. The other set recognizes that something has been  asked. The wholehearted response is one that recognizes that giving
T2:4.12 You who have so recently felt the peace of true acceptance are not  asked to leave that peace to go in search of calling but are rather
T2:4.12 asked to leave that peace to go in search of calling but are rather  asked to listen from within that peace to what you feel called to do.
T2:4.13 Being who you are is what you are called to do. You are here  asked to live a life as seamless as that of the birds of the air. You

D:Day8.6 to state that you do not like your job is to pre-judge your job, to  assume that the conditions you did not like yesterday will be the

T3:2.3 separation itself was desired as you have assumed. This is the  assumption you have accepted in much the same way you have accepted
T3:2.3 allows you to be separate from and independent of God. Once this  assumption was accepted, the duality of your existence became
D:17.18 to want, but it is an inappropriate response to desire. It is an  assumption of needs unfulfilled. You now stand in fulfillment. This
D:Day30.2 denominator is to translate what is more than one into one. An  assumption of wholeness is “common” in every denominator.

C:23.28 means of doing. In the process of unlearning, both forgiveness and  atonement occur. You recognize that your false beliefs were the

D:Day39.34 Course and this Dialogue returned to you? What memory is without  attributes because it is who I Am and not a projection? Only love.
D:Day39.35 Only that which is by nature without  attributes can be one in being in union and relationship and
D:Day39.35 love could become all of these, because love, by its nature, has no  attributes. Love is creation’s genesis, the unattributable given the
D:Day39.35 attributes. Love is creation’s genesis, the unattributable given the  attributes of form.
D:Day40.3 like you to understand that when I am love being, I am being without  attributes—love being in union and relationship. I am the anchor

D:Day40.5 which Christ bridges through relationship. Your attributes are the  attributes of being in relationship. You came into the world, into
D:Day40.6 or distinct from who I am, and who others are. These are the  attributes of your being, what you might call your personality or
D:Day40.6 or even who you are. As has been said before, you saw these  attributes of being as making you separate rather than distinct from
D:Day40.10 created religions, but these creations, in their becoming took on  attributes, as all creations do once they are extended into form and

D:Day40.11 statement and said I am the anchor that holds all that has taken on  attributes within the embrace of the attributelessness of love. This
D:Day40.11 am love, being. But in being God, as in being human, being takes on  attributes. As was said earlier, this was meant to provide for the
D:Day40.12 being some one? You have been being separate—a separate being with  attributes. Now you are being in union and relationship—an

D:12.15 you have been sure of anything. You may have been amazed at this new  authority, and you may have desired more than anything to have others
D:12.18 of this truth. Others of you will have recognized the “voice” of  authority with which this truth came to you as something other than

C:9.30 Think of your  automobile or computer or any other thing you use. Without a user,
C:9.30 a user, would it have any function at all? Would it be anything? An  automobile abandoned and without a user might become the home to a
C:9.30 user seek to exchange roles with it. When an accident happens, an  automobile cannot be seen to be at fault for mistakes made by its
C:9.30 to do and it is like placing the blame for a car accident on the  automobile. You have attempted to change places with the body,
C:9.45 tobacco, gambling, and even food as destructive forces. Like the  automobile you would blame for an accident, user and usee have become

D:4.14 is a system of thought. It exists in wholeness and has always been  available.
D:4.29 You accept that what has been given is  available. You accept and you receive. You realize that the first

D:Day5.1 an initial entry point and as a continued entry point so that it is  available to you until it is no longer needed.
D:Day12.8 is perceived as solid, it is an obstacle, for it has no space  available for joining. What is a boundary to a perceiver is met as an

D:Day19.12 of the new so that the unknown is no longer unknown but made  available to be experienced.
D:Day20.9 In other words, all the truth and all the wisdom that is  available but unknown to you, takes you to make it known. And if this

D:5.17 that can be answered. That you want answers while I tell you to  await revelation speaks to the impatience of the human spirit, the
D:17.10 come. Hope is desire accompanied by expectation. To expect is to  await, and you are no longer waiting. You have arrived. You have
D:Day3.60 of the new. You prevent the very life-giving resurrection you  await. You prevent the elevation of the self of form.
D:Day17.3 being who you are has been discussed in many ways, many of you still  await being different than who you are. This is because you realize
D:Day24.3 exists as the power and energy, the spirit within you. It does not  await. It simply is. It can remain as the untapped power of
D:Day24.5 that potential is that which exists, or that potential does not  await.

C:19.8 is that a certain community had been led to expect my arrival. They  awaited me with expectation and so found in me what they hoped to

D:8.6 that in the expression of this talent or ability new discoveries  awaited you and that you greeted these discoveries with surprise and

C:25.22 Practice discernment by being still and  awaiting wisdom. Your feeling of being identity-less will make

T3:15.5 act “as if” you believe a new beginning is possible, even while  awaiting the lapse that will surely prove to you that the new

T4:12.13 was synonymous with your idea of learning? That you were always both  awaiting and dreading your next learning challenge?
D:8.6 previously known that this talent or ability existed, it was there  awaiting but your discovery. You may also have seen that in the
D:8.7 your awareness of what is available or given—of what is but  awaiting your discovery and conscious awareness. Thus, like the home
D:9.12 So too is it with an idea. An idea already exists within you, but is  awaiting its birth through you.

C:5.32 seemed to touch the soft ground on which you walked. This is what  awaits you as you join with what you see. This awaits you as you

C:6.13 on to where the challenge of a new success and new reason to exist  awaits. The carrot of fulfillment you hold before yourself when

T3:11.6 of illusion but in the House of Truth. What this means is that I was  aware of the truth and lived by the truth. I was aware of the Peace
T3:11.6 means is that I was aware of the truth and lived by the truth. I was  aware of the Peace of God and lived within the Peace of God. I was
T3:11.6 aware of the Peace of God and lived within the Peace of God. I was  aware of the Love of God and the Love of God lived within me.
T3:11.7 This is what you are now called to do: Be  aware that the love of God lives within you. Live within the Peace of
T3:11.15 You will, of course, continue to be  aware that very few realize that they exist in the House of Truth.

T3:12.5 By changing our goal now, I am assuring you that you have become  aware of the truth of your identity. The goal of this Course has been

T3:13.2 state in which you are aware of who you are, and so cause you to be  aware only of a self of human experience, or a personal self. While

T4:1.25 is occurring during which those unable to allow themselves to become  aware of the new state of consciousness are resisting it, again
T4:1.25 before they give into its pull and settle there. But all have become  aware that a new experience awaits and that they stand at the
T4:1.27 contrast. But this also means that the great majority will become  aware of the new state of consciousness and that learning will pass
T4:2.7 those who came before. That those who came before did not become  aware of their true nature does not mean that it did not exist; that
T4:2.7 there are others living among you in this time who will not become  aware of their true nature does not mean that it does not exist

T4:2.25 but a direct relationship. It exists and you are becoming  aware of its existence. You will increasingly be unable to deny it

T4:2.30 past. And yet your vision has already changed, although you are not  aware of the extent of this change. Realize now that you have come to
T4:4.12 consciousness even while you still abide in form. To be cognizant or  aware of everlasting consciousness while you still abide in form is
T4:4.12 consciousness while you still abide in form is to be fully  aware that you have life everlasting.
T4:4.13 Being fully  aware that you have life everlasting is totally different than having
T4:5.10 make the choice for Christ-consciousness, to make the choice to be  aware of who you truly are. To know your Self as my brother or sister
T4:8.15 itself this ability to come to know continuously? To be  aware constantly of what is, is to continuously come to know and yet
D:3.16 is about. Consciousness has to do with that of which you are  aware. To know what you now know, and remain aware only of the
D:3.16 that of which you are aware. To know what you now know, and remain  aware only of the reality of the separated self, would not sustain
D:3.19 way separate forms express content. It will be challenging to become  aware that different expressions do not make different. These

D:8.13 When you choose to take this step it is taken. What you will become  aware of on the other side of that door will require a new way of
D:9.2 acceptance is what is spoken of here. There you were asked to become  aware of what imprisons you, only to have it later suggested that

D:12.12 self in its unguarded moments. I am attempting to help you to become  aware and comfortable with the idea that, released of old patterns,
D:12.17 that it seems crazy or impossible to you, you may become more  aware than ever before that what I have said about your way of
D:14.11 It is, for us, about bringing “out” what is within. As you become  aware “within” your Self, you enable the expansion of awareness into

D:Day3.6 excitement at the idea of this issue being finally discussed; but be  aware of your feelings as we proceed, for I tell you truly, here is
D:Day4.49 These are the only temptations of the new that I can make you  aware of until you have made your choice and have full realization of
D:Day5.26 with unity. It is a constant exchange. When you are fully  aware of this is when full access is attained. So we will continue
D:Day7.13 for me to list every new condition here. As you become increasingly  aware of your relationship with union, each of these new conditions

C:6.20 one mind to the next as stories often will. It is but part of your  awareness of who you are, an awareness you would deny in favor of

C:8.18 existence and wondering how you could spend even a moment without  awareness of it.
C:8.19 This moment without  awareness of the body was beautifully described in A Course in
C:10.5 life without it, you again and again encounter its reality. When its  awareness begins to leave you is just when you may be beset by

C:19.4 after which unification with God is naturally returned to your  awareness, for this unification returns you to the Christ in you and
C:22.10 of you through which everything within your world passes and your  awareness of it that determines the meaning you give it. You are much
T1:2.21 negated. All senses and feelings of the human being are called into  awareness and yet there is also acknowledgment of the Creator behind
T2:4.19 thinking may not seem to be the miracle that it truly is, as your  awareness of it grows, it is going to raise it to a level you will

T3:11.12 hell, just as it can at times be a chosen heaven. Choice and the  awareness of the power of choice that exists within is all that

T3:12.5 However, while your consciousness remains time-bound, your  awareness is still limited. As has already been stated, in order to
T3:16.15 due to the changes your new Self will create. As you live with  awareness of the love of God within you, you will see that you have
T4:2.1 predictive, for I am Christ-consciousness. Christ-consciousness is  awareness of what is. Only an awareness of what is, an awareness that
T4:2.1 Christ-consciousness is awareness of what is. Only an  awareness of what is, an awareness that does not conceive of such as

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

T4:2.9 of the biblical end of time. I speak of this because it is in your  awareness and because many false interpretations of this time as a
T4:2.10 be separate, you will not become fully aware of the new time. Full  awareness of the new is what this Treatise seeks to accomplish and so
T4:2.10 necessary to belabor these false ideas that would keep you from this  awareness. If you think you can observe in judgment you do not

T4:2.15 then, and there before you began your learning of this Course. Your  awareness of the Self that you are now was not present in the past,
T4:2.19 is. This type of thinking will not serve the new or allow you full  awareness of the new.
T4:2.22 existed. God always existed. But you separated yourself from direct  awareness of your relationship with unity, with oneness, and with

T4:3.1 The embrace is not an action so much as a state of being.  Awareness of the embrace comes from the vision of which I have just
T4:4.9 time of fullness. It is the time during which you have within your  awareness the ability to come into your time of fullness by accepting
T4:4.9 fullness by accepting the inheritance of your Father. You have the  awareness and thus the ability to accept the continuity of
T4:4.16 applicability of this Course, this discussion is necessary to your  awareness of Christ-consciousness. To believe that you are mortal is
T4:5.3 through all that exists in matter in the form of this energy.  Awareness of this one Source of energy, and thus this one energy
T4:5.6 parts of the All of everything. Christ-consciousness is your  awareness of this.

T4:8.17 learning has had only one purpose—the purpose of returning you to  awareness of your true identity. Be done with learning now as you
T4:12.25 it is a truly new state, a state that cannot be learned, a state the  awareness of which can only be revealed to you through unity and
T4:12.31 by which you and those who come after you, will more fully come to  awareness of all they have inherited and all it is within their power
D:3.12 of form, and what we work toward through this dialogue is your full  awareness of what this means.
D:3.13 Helping you to achieve full  awareness of who you are is different than helping you to learn. As
D:3.13 What we seek to achieve through this dialogue is acceptance and  awareness of what you know. Acceptance is easily achieved through
D:3.13 you know. Acceptance is easily achieved through willingness. Full  awareness in form of what has previously been hidden by the mists of
D:3.16 and the created. You as the Self are union itself. This is what  awareness is about. Consciousness has to do with that of which you
D:3.17 something or someone “other” than your Self rather than seeking the  awareness that exists within.
D:3.20 as the patterns of the new are accepted and lived with your full  awareness.
D:3.21 oneness. It is not in need of learning or even understanding. It is.  Awareness of what is, is a quality of Christ-consciousness. Thus you

D:7.17 related to the self of form. It is a step toward full acceptance and  awareness of who you are now and what this means as you become the

D:7.29 This territory we will call the territory of your conscious  awareness. This territory of conscious awareness is shared with the
D:7.29 territory of your conscious awareness. This territory of conscious  awareness is shared with the larger consciousness of unity, just as
D:7.29 with those who live and work nearby. This territory of conscious  awareness exists within the larger consciousness of unity, just as
D:7.29 Earth. We will begin here, with the territory of your conscious  awareness, knowing that discovery and revelation will expand this

D:8.7 talents or abilities is a place from which to start building your  awareness of what is available or given—of what is but awaiting

D:9.1 The door that is being opened to you here is the door of  awareness of what is, a door that swings open and closed on the

D:Day4.53 As we move into full access and  awareness of unity, love is all that is required. Acceptance has been

D:Day22.8 This  awareness of union with God is what is now within you awaiting your
D:Day22.8 union with God is what is now within you awaiting your expression.  Awareness of union with God exists in everything. It is there in
D:Day22.8 to quit acting as if it is not. It is time to be a channel for the  awareness that exists in every tree and every flower, in each
D:Day22.8 stream and in the blowing wind. It is time to be a channel for the  awareness of union with God that exists in every living being.
D:Day22.9 This  awareness is what we have been calling Christ-consciousness, but what
D:Day23.5 is alive within you. All that is required is that you carry it with  awareness, honor, willingness. From this will the new be birthed.
D:Day28.2 Most of you have experienced several stages of  awareness, and we will speak here of those experienced during the
