| T3:10.2 | as an exercise in forgetting. As often as is possible within your | daily life, I ask you to forget as much of what you have learned as |

| D:Day1.5 | examples we are talking of simple requirements, requirements of | daily life rather than of eternal life. The requirement asked of you |
| D:Day6.13 | to go about this creative process while remaining embroiled in | daily life—I want to acknowledge the difficulty some of you will |
| D:Day6.14 | and a corresponding desire not to have to focus on the details of | daily life. You may be thinking that the ease so often spoken of in |
| D:Day6.14 | invite abundance without having to look at the bills that arrive by | daily mail or worry about the many other aspects of your simple |
| D:Day6.15 | for worry will have to come first, an ability to focus on other than | daily life will have to come first. These are what these continuing |

| C:9.1 | seems to lead you astray, forcing you to walk through paths full of | danger and treachery into the deepest darkness instead of toward the |
| C:16.13 | to you because you look upon an unforgiven world where evil walks, | danger lurks, and nowhere is safety to be found. Each separated one |
| C:20.31 | which it operates. The laws of fear were laws of struggle, limits, | danger, and competitiveness. The laws of love are laws of peace, |
| C:25.13 | now. It is not arrogance or a means by which to flirt with risk and | danger. It is simply your reality. During the time of tenderness you |
| T2:9.8 | What is shared by all is not owned. What all have is in no | danger of being taken away. All that you are capable of having you |
| T3:1.13 | to distinguish the personal self from the ego-self. There is a | danger even now in focusing upon the self of the body, as this self |
| T3:13.13 | without forming your own ideas about your beliefs is to be in | danger of succumbing to false beliefs. |
| D:1.9 | These anti-ego tendencies are a real | danger in this time. You are not called to selflessness but to Self ! |
| D:11.10 | full well, a wellspring from which you can continually draw with no | danger of ever drawing an empty bucket. You need never thirst again |
| D:13.1 | There is no | danger, in this time, that you will know the truth and then discover |
| D:Day9.21 | to accept an image is less prevalent now but still a common | danger. |
dangerous (5) |
||
| C:2.6 | these extremes of feeling. Both “ends” of feelings are considered | dangerous and a middle ground is sought. It is said that one can love |
| C:4.14 | forget to guard your heart or to keep your real Self in hiding. How | dangerous indeed is such an act in a world where trust can turn to |
| C:8.12 | you would deem your property and its disposition your purview. How | dangerous would you be if union were such as this? How rightly you |
| C:9.21 | And imagine that you could bring this one in from that dark and | dangerous place. She is cold, and you prepare a fire and give her a |

| D:1.22 | will guide you through the application of what you have learned. You | dare not, as yet, to turn to your own heart, and trust the knowing |
| D:11.10 | that will provide you with direction. As was said earlier, you | dare not, as yet, turn to your own heart for answers. Yet your heart |

| C:16.16 | judge away from God is an act against God, and like a child who has | dared to defy his parents, the act of defiance fills the defiant one |
| T3:12.7 | something you have not even dreamed of. This state you have not even | dared to dream of is a state in which only God’s laws of love exist |
| D:Day2.8 | even here. These are the temptations that confront those who have | dared to ascend the mountain. It is not the height you have attained |

| C:6.10 | the cold as well as the warmth, the snow as well as the rain, the | dark of night and the clouds that block the sun. Without all of |
| C:9.21 | yourself. And imagine that you could bring this one in from that | dark and dangerous place. She is cold, and you prepare a fire and |
| C:9.39 | what you have sought, you will not leave in deepest peace but in | dark despair and fear. You will have no hope for what lies beyond |
| C:12.4 | from all that could be joined with you and all that would fill your | dark and lonely places with the happiness you seek. |

| T1:3.20 | magic and power that is not of this world and thus that must have a | dark side as well as a light. Here suspicion dawns and threatens all |
| T3:20.17 | by love. See not what love would not have you see. Turn from the | dark ways of illusion and shine the light of truth for all to see. |

| C:5.32 | of you has had at least one that was a shining light in a world of | darkness. A day in which the sun shone on your world and you felt |
| C:7.10 | protection, for truth brought to illusion shines its light into the | darkness, causing it to be no more. |
| C:9.1 | to walk through paths full of danger and treachery into the deepest | darkness instead of toward the light. It is your emotions rather than |
| C:9.18 | of your heart, the light the Christ in you would shine upon the | darkness. Can you not see that when you chose to make yourself |
| C:16.8 | function be fulfilled and bring the light to those who still live in | darkness. |

| T1:7.2 | This belief exists in the in-between, where on the one hand there is | darkness, and on the other hand there is light. One or the other must |

| D:Day18.5 | to be generators of light in darkness without judging or expelling | darkness. They accept their power to represent both the known and the |

| D:Day27.11 | As | darkness and light, hot and cold, sickness and health are each just |
| D:Day34.1 | destruction are two sides of the same continuum as are hot and cold, | darkness and light. Seeing in wholeness includes seeing the opposites |

| C:3.7 | not thus. A form is but a representation. You see a thousand forms a | day with different names and different functions and you think not |

| C:5.20 | think of this and say it to yourself not once but a hundred times a | day if needed. You do not need to worry about what to replace your |
| C:5.32 | Remember now one lovely | day, for each of you has had at least one that was a shining light in |
| C:5.32 | had at least one that was a shining light in a world of darkness. A | day in which the sun shone on your world and you felt part of |

| C:6.10 | be too easy, too lacking in imagination, too sterile. To have every | day the same would be uninteresting now. Perhaps later. Maybe when |
| C:6.12 | chance to face the struggle and the challenge, the coming of the new | day and the dying of the old. How sad they have not had the |
| C:6.16 | Peace is merely enjoyment of the rain and sun, night as well as | day. Without judgment cast upon it, peace shines on all that you |
| C:7.11 | form of withholding, sometimes dozens or even hundreds of times a | day. An unreturned phone call, a bit of traffic, a harsh word spoken, |
| C:7.11 | hold to yourself and refuse to let go. By the time you begin your | day you may hold several of these in your mind, and there you build |
| C:7.11 | withholding. Now you have an excuse—or several excuses—for a bad | day. Why should you give anything to anyone when your day has already |
| C:7.11 | —for a bad day. Why should you give anything to anyone when your | day has already treated you so badly? You withhold even a smile, |
| C:7.12 | You might choose to tell those you encounter of your bad | day, and if they are properly sympathetic you may feel that you have |
| C:8.7 | these emotions—so many that they could not be counted even for one | day, even by those who claim to have them not. It is not your |
| C:8.20 | time expending that energy. One more time growing weary. One more | day is greeted, and its greeting lies upon your heart. Each day tells |
| C:8.20 | One more day is greeted, and its greeting lies upon your heart. Each | day tells you all things come to pass. At times this is cause for |
| C:8.20 | other times a cause for sorrow. But never can it be evaded that each | day is a beginning and an ending both. Night is as certain as day. |
| C:8.20 | each day is a beginning and an ending both. Night is as certain as | day. |
| C:8.23 | Where lives this past and future? Where does | day go when it is night? What are you to make of all these forms that |
| C:8.24 | of creation, begun each morning and completed each night. Each | day is your creation held together by the thought system that gave it |
| C:8.28 | How can it be that you move through the same world | day by day in the same body, observing many situations like onto each |
| C:8.28 | How can it be that you move through the same world day by | day in the same body, observing many situations like onto each other, |

| C:8.28 | that one day you feel happy and one day you feel sad, one | day you feel hope and one day you feel despair? How can it be that |
| C:8.28 | feel happy and one day you feel sad, one day you feel hope and one | day you feel despair? How can it be that what was created so like to |
| C:8.29 | days are but evidence of this truth. What your eyes behold will one | day deceive you while what your heart beholds will the next day see |
| C:8.29 | will one day deceive you while what your heart beholds will the next | day see through the deception. And so one day lived in your world is |
| C:8.29 | beholds will the next day see through the deception. And so one | day lived in your world is misery incarnate and the next a thing of |
| C:9.1 | you. It seems as fickle as your mind, telling you one thing one | day and one thing the next. Even more so than your mind it seems to |
| C:9.42 | this but a demonstration, on a larger scale, of what you live each | day? This is all that anything larger than yourself demonstrates to |

| C:10.27 | as a whole. You will see it from behind as you follow it about its | day, without, at first even being aware that this is happening. And |
| C:12.12 | alone that somehow is not what it was meant to be. On a lovely | day and in a lovely place you can see that creation’s paradise still |
| C:12.17 | seems to arise out of nowhere can affect you. An idea, birthed one | day, does not seem to have been there the day before. Perhaps it is |
| C:12.17 | you. An idea, birthed one day, does not seem to have been there the | day before. Perhaps it is the idea of taking a trip or having a baby, |
| C:12.17 | of the idea would not come to be. You may have a thousand ideas one | day and ten thousand the next, so many that you could never keep |
| C:13.8 | by these memories, do not push them aside as interruptions in your | day, but know that anything that distracts you from the little self |
| C:17.7 | Each | day is an unknown you enter into, despite your every attempt to |
| C:22.9 | that creates the intersection. Everything within your world and your | day must pass through you in order to gain reality. While you might |

| D:6.11 | the prayer of the Native Americans who thank the sun for rising each | day is a prayer that acknowledges that the sun may not rise. This is |

| D:7.3 | will collapse and the sun may not need to rise or set to separate | day into night. Resting and waking will be part of the same continuum |

| C:4.18 | your image of your life and has no resemblance to how you spend your | days or the way your days will end. Love is all that is set apart in |
| C:4.18 | and has no resemblance to how you spend your days or the way your | days will end. Love is all that is set apart in your perception from |
| C:6.2 | be separate. You can desire what is impossible until the end of your | days but you cannot make it possible. Why not forgive the world for |
| C:6.11 | that you choose it not, or that you put it off until the end of your | days. A heaven such as this would be for the old and the infirm, the |

| C:8.21 | feel like one of many, a tiny peon of little significance. On other | days you will feel quite superior, the ultimate achievement of the |
| C:8.21 | achievement of the world and all its years of evolution. There are | days you will feel quite of the earth, as if this is your natural |
| C:8.21 | as if this is your natural home and heaven to your soul. On other | days your feeling will be quite the opposite, and you will wonder |

| C:16.5 | Life in prison and a body condemned to | death is what judgment does to all of you who believe that what is |
| C:19.19 | traveling backward, or the review of life that some experience after | death. In order to remember unity you must, in a sense, travel back |
| C:27.1 | yourself to the visible and describable. Thus you have identified | death as the only means by which to reach oneness with your Father, |

| T2:1.6 | This place is not life but neither is it death, for even | death is not an eternal resting place in the sense that you have |
| T2:1.6 | journey of life any more than it is a place at which life stops and | death reigns. It is not a point at which you arrive, never to depart. |
| T2:4.1 | as you know it now, but life in all its aspects. It is life beyond | death as well as life before birth and life during your time here. It |
| T2:11.4 | much as the body that is your form will remain with you until your | death. But while your perception of your body as your identity and |
| T3:5.5 | the crucifixion came to end the need to learn through suffering and | death. |
| T3:5.6 | was that God’s love was so mighty that he would even allow the | death of his only son to redeem the world. |
| T3:5.7 | The | death of an only son, then as now, would be seen as a sacrifice of |
| T3:6.2 | traveled, discussing the reign of God and the meaning of life and | death. But this is one of the key ideas that will keep you from |
| T3:9.6 | truth seems to lie far beyond the house of illusion in the valley of | death. Survivors of near death experiences have eased the fears of |
| T3:9.6 | the house of illusion in the valley of death. Survivors of near | death experiences have eased the fears of many but made many more |
| T3:9.6 | have eased the fears of many but made many more long for life after | death rather than life. You who have followed me beyond the walls of |
| T3:14.1 | The | death of the ego thought system has made way for the birth of the |
| T3:15.2 | departure from this idea has concerned the occasions of birth and | death. This is something we will return to, but first let us look at |
| T3:15.8 | With the | death of the ego, special relationships too have breathed their last. |
| T3:17.3 | into time and each self of form dies out of time. Both birth and | death have always existed as choices, as beginnings and endings to |
| T3:17.3 | time. It is the nature of what is finite to begin and end. Birth and | death are all you have seen as true new beginnings. |
| T4:3.14 | life in form has seemed a curse to some, a miracle to others. | Death comes as destruction to some, as new life to others. Either way |
| T4:3.14 | attachment to life has kept you alive in form. Your attachment to | death has kept your form subject to the cycle of decay and rebirth. |
| T4:4.2 | of changing form. It is one that is revealed on Earth by birth and | death, decay and renewal, seasons of growth and seasons of decline. |
| T4:4.2 | to extremes within your world. You think of birth as creation and | death as rest. You do not realize that your nature, and the nature of |
| T4:4.3 | In your history, generations pass, through | death, to allow for new generations to be born. As your planet has |
| T4:4.6 | my life demonstrated was a capacity for inheritance not based upon | death. My life, death and resurrection revealed the power of |
| T4:4.6 | was a capacity for inheritance not based upon death. My life, | death and resurrection revealed the power of inheritance, the power |

| T4:4.10 | death might wish for prolonged life, but many of these same welcome | death as the end to suffering and strife. To continue on endlessly |
| T4:4.11 | is it then, of which I speak? If you still must look ahead and see | death looming on the horizon, how can it be that I speak of |
| T4:4.11 | of belief for countless ages? Am I but calling you to a happy | death and an afterlife in heaven? |
| T4:4.14 | but to end the separated state in order to return to unity through | death. Once the return to unity has occurred in form, the decision to |
| T4:4.17 | the idea that your true Self will be returned to you only through | death? What purpose would this Course serve if it were just another |
| T4:4.18 | What purpose will | death serve when your true Self has joined with your physical form? |
| T4:5.1 | and more than a man before my birth, during my lifetime and after my | death and resurrection, so are you. So are all who came before me and |
| T4:5.11 | This is not a choice automatic to you in human form or even upon the | death of your human form. When you die, you do not die to who you are |
| T4:5.11 | or who you think you are. You do not die to choice. At the time of | death you are assisted in ways not formerly possible to you in form, |
| T4:5.12 | same opportunity that was formerly reserved for you only after your | death. It was formerly only after your death that you chose direct |
| T4:5.12 | for you only after your death. It was formerly only after your | death that you chose direct revelation by God. Think about this now |
| T4:5.12 | you as surely as did those that came to so many others after | death. |
| T4:5.13 | vision, real choice has been revealed to those having experienced | death. At that time it is your judgment of yourself and your ability |
| T4:5.13 | the consciousness returned to those loosed of the body by | death. Being loosed of the body by death was the chosen means of the |
| T4:5.13 | to those loosed of the body by death. Being loosed of the body by | death was the chosen means of the time of the intermediary, the |
| T4:6.1 | reports of the afterlife from those who have experienced temporary | death. It is why you hear differing words and scenarios attributed to |
| T4:7.5 | This is why all fear, including the fear of | death, needs to be removed from you despite the radical sounding |
| D:3.2 | invitation to return home. This call has always sounded. It is not a | death knell but a call to life. It is not of the past or the future |
| D:3.6 | from the contrast of love and fear, sickness and health, life and | death. In this time of Christ, such learning is no longer necessary, |
| D:5.18 | imprisons you is also what I am addressing here. Release through | death is no longer the answer. Release through life is the answer. |
| D:15.2 | of creation is that of movement. Rigor mortis, or the stiffness of | death, is nothing but a lack of movement, a lack of movement of the |
| D:Day1.14 | the conditions of learning exist no more? In which the suffering and | death that have obscured that love is the answer are banished, |
| D:Day2.17 | for you to believe that my resurrection heralded eternal life when | death has been a constant companion of all those who have lived since |
| D:Day2.20 | maturity, and with that maturity action in the world, suffering, | death, and resurrection. |
| D:Day2.24 | by the idea that has been repeated as “I died for your sins.” My | death was meant to demonstrate that the end of suffering had come, |
| D:Day3.60 | allows the great transformation from life as you have known it, to | death of that old life, to rebirth of new life. By clinging to some |
| D:Day3.60 | rebirth of new life. By clinging to some of the old, you prevent its | death and you prevent the rebirth of the new. You prevent the very |
| D:Day4.13 | free from suffering, a state free from learning, a state free from | death. To be told that such a place exists is no more comforting than |
| D:Day4.24 | called it the Kingdom of Heaven and longed for access to it after | death. |
| D:Day10.28 | remember from life and how you have thought of him or her since | death. Do you not occasionally think that this person would be happy |
| D:Day17.8 | in human form was necessary to complete the cycle of birth, | death, and rebirth. |
| D:Day17.10 | interaction with the world, demonstrating the myth of duality, the | death of form, the resurrection of spirit. The way of Mary |
| D:Day17.11 | expressions meant to symbolize the completion of the cycle of birth, | death, and rebirth as a means of coming to know. |
| D:Day17.13 | the stage of interaction with the world, the time of miracles, the | death of the old way and the birth of the new. |
| D:Day18.5 | unknown and to reveal the unknown through the known. They accept the | death of the self and the resurrection of the One Self, the end of |
| D:Day22.7 | place where nothing but love exists, where there is no suffering, no | death, no pain nor sorrow, no separation or alienation. You sense |
| D:Day28.14 | probably been more affected by the relationships of life, by loss or | death of loved ones, by accidents, or illness, or “natural” |

| C:1.1 | Every living being has a heart. Let us | define heart as the center of being, that place from which all |

| C:10.25 | experiment, you will realize anew that your thoughts more accurately | define who you are than your body does. Whether they wander aimlessly |
| C:16.20 | The strong survive and the weak perish. The mighty prevail, and so | define what is right for all those over whom they prevail. Those in |
| C:26.11 | finding it, rejoice. It is not lost. It does not require you to | define it or put a name to it before it can be yours. Is this not |
| T2:9.16 | about your needs, thus allowing them to be met. Then the need to | define or to identify them ceases. Your needs only continue to be |
| D:5.13 | will cease to be, just as the ego has ceased to be. To outline and | define the differences between what was created and what was made |
| D:7.27 | It is not a circle that can be drawn around where you exist so as to | define, perhaps, a mile of space and say that this is all you. No, |

| C:P.15 | this lopsided battle, the ego will win out. The spirit as you have | defined it is too amorphous, too lacking in definition and |

| C:2.11 | instructs you to be compassionate as God is compassionate. You have | defined it unlike the compassion of God. To believe God looks upon |
| C:8.1 | The thoughts of your heart you have | defined as your emotions. These thoughts stand apart from the wisdom |
| C:13.4 | is to show you that they cannot be differentiated or compared or | defined in the same way you have defined their bodies in the past. |

| T1:4.19 | interpretation of situations and the feelings they have aroused have | defined who you are, think again. Be willing to apply the art of |
| T1:5.9 | and the aspect of your existence that is real. Your heart as we have | defined it many times within this Course, must exist in the thought |
| T2:1.3 | is, first and foremost, something that you believe exists and have | defined as being of value. As this Treatise is not concerned with |
| T2:7.4 | of “others” with the idea of “relationship” that has been so often | defined and repeated within this Course. In order to believe in |
| D:6.12 | laws, but these “natural” laws are not the sets of facts you have | defined them to be, but rather a staggering series of relationships, |
| D:7.7 | Now you are called to discover how to exist in form without being | defined by this time-bound particularity. |

| D:Day7.2 | Denial of yourself was the precondition that set the stage for the | |

| T1:3.15 | would seem to violate one of the rules of miracle-readiness as | described in A Course in Miracles, the extreme need of your return to |
| T1:5.4 | the eternal or the void. While your thought system here has been | described often as insanity, this is the insanity you would fear that |

| D:16.17 | your separated self, come to reclaim you. This is why we have also | described this as an after-image. This is but a photograph that |

| D:2.4 | Patterns are both learned systems and systems of | design. The pattern of learning was a pattern of divine design, |
| D:2.4 | systems of design. The pattern of learning was a pattern of divine | design, created in unity and cooperation to enable the return to |
| D:2.4 | no longer needed nor appropriate. While it was once a pattern whose | design was perfect for the desired end, continuation of this pattern |
| D:2.5 | An example of a pattern whose | design was perfect for the desired end is that of formal education. |
| D:2.18 | Any system that is not foolproof is based on a faulty | design, a faulty pattern. Your misperceptions of the world have |
| D:3.9 | all, are the ideas that will allow new patterns to emerge and the | design of the future to be created. These are the ideas that replace |
| D:4.9 | the patterns contained within. Patterns are both of learning and of | design. |

| D:4.11 | creation, and where we have spoken of creation previously, divine | design was also spoken of. Here I am quite confident that you have |
| D:4.11 | during your time as a learning being that you accept that a divine | design created the universe and all that is in it, or that you trust |
| D:4.11 | know that this is so. Either way, you may still believe in a divine | design without accepting that a divine design exists and that you are |
| D:4.11 | may still believe in a divine design without accepting that a divine | design exists and that you are part of it. Remember that our goal |
| D:4.11 | exists in divine order, and that your life is part of that divine | design. |
| D:4.18 | Just as obviously, all we are left with is divine | design. All we are left with is what was given: A divine universe, a |
| D:4.28 | What is one, or in union with all, draws from the well of divine | design. You need not turn to old patterns or systems to accomplish |
| D:4.29 | of the new is restoration of the original order, or original | design. As you have been returned to your Self, now your life must be |
| D:4.29 | now your life must be returned to where it fits within the divine | design, to where it is a life of meaning and purpose. This return is |
| D:4.29 | magnanimous. It returns wholeness to you and wholeness to the divine | design. It returns creation to what it is. |
| D:5.9 | first step as it is the step necessary for the restoration of divine | design. True seeing facilitates the return to what is and we but |
| D:6.22 | laws you gave the body in the time of learning, knowing not what the | design of the body represented? What might the bodily design now |

| D:Day4.5 | yesterday’s dialogue, learning has not been a choice. Both as divine | design and as a pattern of the thought system of the ego, learning |
| D:Day4.5 | ego, learning has been with you and within you. Although the divine | design of the time of learning is being recreated, the ceaseless |

| T2:1.9 | are given a structure and form in your thinking of them. A | desire to paint, in your thoughts becomes a completed painting that |
| T2:3.2 | There would be no need for form if there had been no | desire for expression. Life is the desire to express outwardly what |
| T2:3.2 | for form if there had been no desire for expression. Life is the | desire to express outwardly what exists within. What I refer to so |
| T2:6.5 | from you and beyond you in time. That your mind projects what you | desire to accomplish onto an unknown future time is what would seem |
| T2:7.1 | We have talked much in this Course of your | desire to be independent without looking at the condition of |
| T2:7.1 | has taken on a negative meaning specifically in contrast to your | desire to be independent. One of your greatest fears is thus of a |
| T2:7.5 | feelings of lack or deprivation? What is the hidden source of your | desire to control? |
| T2:7.10 | Here is an idea not heretofore given much attention, the idea of the | desire for change. Certainly there will continue to be things within |
| T2:7.10 | following the patterns of old as you go out into the world with your | desire to effect change? |
| T2:7.11 | truth in a very concrete way. For to go out into the world with the | desire to give, either expecting to receive in certain measure or to |
| T2:7.13 | the early teachings of A Course of Love, teachings concerning your | desire to be good and to do good. This is not about doing good works. |
| T2:7.17 | and feelings since taking this Course. You have done so out of a | desire to be truthful, a desire to not express thoughts and feelings |
| T2:7.17 | this Course. You have done so out of a desire to be truthful, a | desire to not express thoughts and feelings unworthy of your real |
| T2:7.17 | you would judge as negative or bad. Or you may have, in your | desire not to judge others, kept yourself from speaking up in |
| T2:9.1 | I ask you now to remember a time when you felt from another the | desire to help or to meet your needs. Do not think that this desire |
| T2:9.1 | the desire to help or to meet your needs. Do not think that this | desire is not present in all relationships. It is only the ego that |
| T2:9.1 | present in all relationships. It is only the ego that stands between | desire and the meeting of desire, needs and the meeting of needs. |
| T2:9.1 | It is only the ego that stands between desire and the meeting of | desire, needs and the meeting of needs. |
| T2:9.5 | best seen in the contrast implied by the intent to hang on. The | desire to hang on to anything assumes that what you have is in need |
| T2:9.11 | or self-satisfied, or, in other words, feel your needs are met, the | desire to hang on to what you have arises. This is true of knowledge, |
| T2:9.12 | As soon as the | desire to hang on arises, both learning and unlearning cease to |
| T2:9.12 | to hang on arises, both learning and unlearning cease to occur. The | desire to maintain a state you believe you have achieved and have |
| T2:9.14 | unity where creation is continuous and ongoing. You should have no | desire to reach such a state and the awareness that you are in such a |
| T2:10.16 | Again your | desire for a static state would make you rather listen to your ego as |
| T3:2.5 | you believed you chose to separate from God out of defiance and a | desire to be one with God no longer. This could not be further from |
| T3:2.11 | abandoned you, but you who abandoned your Self and God. Give up your | desire to think that if you did such a thing there was a reason for |
| T3:2.12 | stuck in an adolescent phase of development. The ego-self’s only | desire was for you to “grow up” into its version of an independent |
| T3:3.3 | for yourself and let this fear keep you from much you would | desire, you fear as much or more your ability to disappoint others or |
| T3:6.1 | Can you give up your | desire for reward? To give up your desire for reward is to give up a |
| T3:6.1 | Can you give up your desire for reward? To give up your | desire for reward is to give up a childish desire that has become |
| T3:6.1 | reward? To give up your desire for reward is to give up a childish | desire that has become like unto a plague among you. While many of |
| T3:6.1 | you. While many of you see it not, everything you do is based upon | desire for reward. This is your desire to be given to in return for |
| T3:6.1 | not, everything you do is based upon desire for reward. This is your | desire to be given to in return for what you give. This stems from |
| T3:6.1 | of yourself as less than what your parents are. While you may still | desire recognition and affirmation from them, this is not the same as |
| T3:6.1 | think is in charge of rewarding you, the attitude that causes you to | desire reward is what must be done without. |
| T3:6.6 | and made you ready for this choice. Choose now to leave your | desire for reward, as well as all of your reasons for bitterness, and |
| T3:10.14 | if you will, of the new thought system, for you will have no | desire to communicate with anything less. |
| T3:10.15 | the common language of the mind and heart joined in unity. You will | desire more than anything for everyone you encounter to share this |
| T3:13.1 | by any doubt you might have had concerning whether or not you would | desire the new goal toward which we work. |
| T3:14.1 | as thought alone will not bring about the changes you would so | desire to have come about within your physical experience. You may |
| T3:14.5 | but those who will be visited by great change are but those who | desire it. Yet even those who desire great change will find these |
| T3:14.5 | by great change are but those who desire it. Yet even those who | desire great change will find these great changes will not cause them |
| T3:19.7 | to sexual union may be called for. While some of you may have less | desire for physical joining as you become more aware of unity, some |
| T3:19.7 | joining as you become more aware of unity, some may have more | desire for physical joining as an expression of that union. Neither |
| T3:20.11 | to be lived by as the truth is meant to be lived by. Not because you | desire an outcome, but because it is who you are and because you |
| T3:20.14 | I thank you for your strong | desire to be saviors of the world and to end her suffering. I thank |
| T3:20.14 | to end her suffering. I thank you for your compassion and for your | desire to be of service to the world. But I call to you from peace |
| T3:21.11 | to doubt circumstances of their birth are often consumed with a | desire to discover these unknown circumstances. For your birth, your |
| T3:22.13 | Observation, both of yourself and of what you | desire, is an act that takes place in the here and now that is and |
| T3:22.14 | Observation of what you | desire, what we have referred to as “closed eyes” observation, can be |
| T3:22.14 | your effort, create the desired outcome. Observation of what you | desire is observation of what is, for your desire is of God and what |
| T3:22.14 | Observation of what you desire is observation of what is, for your | desire is of God and what you desire now, contrary to what you would |
| T3:22.14 | is observation of what is, for your desire is of God and what you | desire now, contrary to what you would have desired in the early |
| T3:22.14 | in the early stages of this Course, is the Will of God. What you | desire now is the Will of God because it is your true desire, your |
| T3:22.14 | God. What you desire now is the Will of God because it is your true | desire, your will and God’s joined as one. |
| T3:22.15 | also as a product of distrust. It was a tension that existed between | desire and accomplishment, the tension that told you that you might |
| T3:22.15 | the tension that told you that you might be able to achieve what you | desire but that you also might not. Realize that this game of chance |
| T4:1.22 | the Holy Spirit. This limit acted upon you as a catalyst to create | desire for the new. It is what has caused your growing impatience |
| T4:1.22 | technology but seemed to offer. It is what has caused your growing | desire for meaning and purpose. It is what has caused you to finally |
| T4:2.11 | a way of calling all others to know what they can achieve. One may | desire to best a sporting record and another to follow the first man |
| T4:2.11 | space and the one who desires to best a sporting record may feel no | desire to follow the first man into space and vice versa, and yet, |
| T4:2.11 | the door for others and this is known to you. Even those who did not | desire to fly in a plane when this feat was first accomplished have |
| T4:2.12 | goal was not to be better than anyone but themselves. Surely many | desire to be “the best” as a means to glorify the ego, but few of |
| T4:4.18 | of expressing your Self in form because this goal but reflected the | desire for a temporary experience. The temporary experience has been |
| T4:6.1 | both historically and currently. What you envision, imagine, | desire, hold as being possible, is possible, because you make it so. |
| T4:6.4 | and direct sharing, the probable future you imagine, envision, | desire, will be what you create. This is the power of the devotion of |
| T4:6.4 | the state natural to all is what I ask you to imagine, envision and | desire. |
| T4:6.7 | affect much with what you envision, imagine and | desire, in love, without changing the world and the nature of the |
| T4:7.1 | from Love and knows not judgment. All that you envision, imagine, | desire with love must be without judgment or it will be false |
| T4:7.1 | judgment or it will be false envisioning, false imagining, false | desire. This simply means false, or not consistent with the truth. It |
| T4:7.4 | will be revealed to them through what they can envision, imagine and | desire without judgment. It will not take the effort of their bodies, |
| T4:7.4 | joined in unity, a consciousness able to envision, imagine and | desire without judgment and without fear. |
| T4:8.13 | it would add to His being? What purpose is behind your own | desire to do thus? |
| T4:8.14 | It was only the ego that made this | desire seem to be for anything other than the purpose of expansion |
| T4:8.16 | to learn that it could master. Yet all that this was, was a | desire to be done with learning, which is a true desire consistent |
| T4:8.16 | this was, was a desire to be done with learning, which is a true | desire consistent with your true nature and your purpose here. To |
| T4:9.4 | is the time to leave behind study for imagining, envisioning, and | desire. Now is the time to move out of the time of becoming who you |
| T4:12.13 | only doubt that it can be continual but with doubt that you would | desire it to be? These questions relate to our earlier discussion of |
| T4:12.34 | to our responses. Will respond to what we envision, imagine and | desire. Creation of the new could not begin without you. Your |
| D:1.21 | that could not be taught but only accessed through your longing and | desire. |
| D:2.18 | these systems are based upon misperceptions or illusion. Your | desire to cling to systems that are not foolproof is insane, for |
| D:2.19 | All systems have been based upon your | desire to understand the world around you rather than the world |
| D:2.20 | The seeming difficulty with this new beginning stems from your | desire to learn anew. You would say, “If the justice system doesn’t |
| D:4.21 | air of freedom. Be aware constantly of the sky above your head and | desire no more ceilings to shield you from it. |
| D:4.26 | else. It is up to you to accept that your release is possible, to | desire it without fear, to call it into being. |
| D:5.6 | to show—to teach—that joining is the way. Think of the word | desire and its association with sex. To desire someone is to desire |
| D:5.6 | the way. Think of the word desire and its association with sex. To | desire someone is to desire joining. This desire was created to |
| D:5.6 | word desire and its association with sex. To desire someone is to | desire joining. This desire was created to remind you—to point the |
| D:5.6 | association with sex. To desire someone is to desire joining. This | desire was created to remind you—to point the way—to your true |
| D:5.6 | desire was created to remind you—to point the way—to your true | desire for your true identity as a being joined in oneness. This |
| D:5.7 | you did not lose yourself and experience completion, you would not | desire it. Sex, experienced for this pleasure and completion, |
| D:5.7 | non-attachment, still would produce the desired effect of creating | desire for oneness if you truly saw and understood the body and its |
| D:5.13 | be to create a tome of information, and this is not needed now. The | desire for such is a desire to think through once again the meaning |
| D:5.13 | of information, and this is not needed now. The desire for such is a | desire to think through once again the meaning of everything and to |
| D:6.13 | facts.” I mean no disrespect to scientists and bless them for their | desire to find the “truth,” as you should bless them for the |
| D:6.23 | through sexual intercourse—a design given to lead the way to | desire for oneness and completion. |
| D:7.15 | The observation, envisioning, and | desire you have been practicing in order to be ready to accept |
| D:7.17 | Desire is an acknowledgment of the uniqueness of each Self, and is a | |
| D:7.17 | each Self, and is a demonstration of means and end being the same. | Desire keeps you focused on your own path and leaves you |
| D:7.17 | own path and leaves you nonjudgmental of the paths of others. Yet | desire, like observation and vision, is still related to the self of |
| D:7.18 | Revelation is of God. Observation, vision, and | desire are steps leading you beyond what the individual, separated |
| D:8.11 | dot of the separated self and into the circle of unity where all you | desire is already accomplished in the fullness and wholeness of the |
| D:9.1 | why you do not see what is and are the reason that you continue to | desire to be provided with set answers. |
| D:9.3 | You continue to think that your | desire to know who you are calls you to think about who you are and |
| D:9.3 | a certainty 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 |
| D:9.3 | desire has always been with you, and you have thought it is the very | desire that, once defined and acted upon, would fulfill you, allow |
| D:9.4 | But you have thought about this | desire to know who you are in one way or another all of your life |
| D:11.5 | that you believe you are still on your own, and that you still | desire to be, for only here, in this area of your individuality, do |
| D:11.5 | do you believe you make your contributions to the world. Your | desire to make a contribution—to help to make new the world that |
| D:11.5 | of in the beginning of this Dialogue? What was spoken of as your | desire to prepare? |
| D:11.6 | Let me ask you a question. Do you think | desire will still be with you when you have achieved what you have |
| D:11.6 | you have desired? Is it not possible to conceive of a time in which | desire will no longer serve you, just as learning now no longer |
| D:11.6 | that state, fully accept that your contribution is being made, will | desire still be with you? |
| D:11.9 | and the elevation of the self of form? How might this relate to your | desire to make a contribution and answer your calling? How does this |
| D:11.9 | a contribution and answer your calling? How does this relate to your | desire to know what to do? |
| D:11.10 | you, at the heart or center of your Self, as do all answers. Your | desire to make of me a teacher is the same as your desire to make |
| D:11.10 | all answers. Your desire to make of me a teacher is the same as your | desire to make your thoughts into answers that will provide you with |
| D:11.15 | through the elevated Self of form. Why would you retain your | desire to make an individual contribution, when you can now make a |
| D:13.1 | than in being adamant in the proclamation of what you know. But this | desire to proclaim what you know will grow in you, and while you will |
| D:15.19 | This is, as with all maintenance, a temporary measure, but one you | desire to have discussed, just as we discussed parameters to your |
| D:17.3 | secret of succession is simple. It is but a matter of wholehearted | desire. Do you wholeheartedly desire to follow me to your true |
| D:17.3 | It is but a matter of wholehearted desire. Do you wholeheartedly | desire to follow me to your true inheritance? To come after me and be |
| D:17.3 | be as I was? To be the inheritor of the gifts that are ours? Do you | desire this? Are you willing to claim it? Are you willing to claim it |
| D:17.5 | Little can be had without | desire. Desire, unlike want, asks for a response rather than a |
| D:17.5 | Little can be had without desire. | Desire, unlike want, asks for a response rather than a provision. |
| D:17.5 | Desire, unlike want, asks for a response rather than a provision. | Desire is a longing for, a stretching out for. Imagine yourself at |
| D:17.5 | rather than toward the earth below. This is the stance of both | desire and fulfillment. Of longing and attainment. Of having asked |
| D:17.5 | the embrace of homecoming, and what comes before the passing of | desire and the reverence that replaces it. It acknowledges a certain |
| D:17.5 | it. It acknowledges a certain “taking over” of the spirit of | desire. Having “arrived,” the desire to “get there” has not been |
| D:17.5 | certain “taking over” of the spirit of desire. Having “arrived,” the | desire to “get there” has not been satiated but only has grown into |
| D:17.6 | But the | desire, the desire is stronger than ever before. The influx of |
| D:17.6 | But the desire, the | desire is stronger than ever before. The influx of attainment has |
| D:17.6 | of achievement has been reached. Your glory is realized. But the | desire, the desire is stronger than ever before. |
| D:17.6 | has been reached. Your glory is realized. But the desire, the | desire is stronger than ever before. |
| D:17.7 | whole world. From the top of the mountain, arms outstretched, this | desire too has caused your arms to raise as if of their own accord. |
| D:17.8 | But the | desire, the desire is stronger than ever before. |
| D:17.8 | But the desire, the | desire is stronger than ever before. |
| D:17.9 | You know instinctively that this | desire is not a desire to hold on to what you have. That this moment |
| D:17.9 | You know instinctively that this desire is not a | desire to hold on to what you have. That this moment of achievement |
| D:17.9 | to best. It simply is what it is: A moment of presence full of both | desire and fulfillment. |
| D:17.10 | of initiation. You are no longer hopeful for what will come. Hope is | desire accompanied by expectation. To expect is to await, and you are |
| D:17.12 | That response is wholehearted | desire, which is the power that A Course of Love came to return to |
| D:17.12 | to return to you. You were told within this Course that wholehearted | desire for union would return union to you and return you to your |
| D:17.12 | This is the moment of realization of that accomplishment. But your | desire has not left you. Your desire is stronger than ever before. |
| D:17.12 | of that accomplishment. But your desire has not left you. Your | desire is stronger than ever before. |
| D:17.13 | What is different now is that your wholeheartedness, as well as your | desire, has moved beyond the pattern of thought. |
| D:17.14 | of you earlier, for they are even more pertinent now. Do you think | desire will still be with you when you have achieved what you have |
| D:17.14 | you have desired? Is it not possible to conceive of a time in which | desire will no longer serve you, just as learning now no longer |
| D:17.14 | that state, fully accept that your contribution is being made, will | desire still be with you? |
| D:17.15 | instead of to your thinking, that you feel both fulfillment and | desire. But my earlier questions seemed to indicate that once |
| D:17.15 | questions seemed to indicate that once fulfillment was reached, | desire would no longer be with you. But your desire is still with |
| D:17.15 | was reached, desire would no longer be with you. But your | desire is still with you. It is stronger than ever before. |
| D:17.17 | Desire asks for a response. Earlier it was said that desire asks for | |
| D:17.17 | Desire asks for a response. Earlier it was said that | desire asks for a response while want asks for provision. What is the |
| D:17.18 | appropriate response to want, but it is an inappropriate response to | desire. It is an assumption of needs unfulfilled. You now stand in |
| D:17.19 | Desire asks for a response. From where is this response sought? You | |
| D:17.19 | the fullness of the well of your heart, the interrelationship of | desire and fulfillment. The interrelationship of desire and |
| D:17.19 | of desire and fulfillment. The interrelationship of | desire and fulfillment is what occurs at the threshold. Beyond the |
| D:17.19 | occurs at the threshold. Beyond the threshold is the state in which | desire has passed and been replaced by reverence. To revere is to |
| D:17.19 | has been stated, is due nothing and no one but God. To move beyond | desire to reverence is to move into the state of communion with God, |
| D:17.21 | to the site you have traveled so far to reach. You are here and | desire fills you, even while you know the glory of having arrived. |
| D:17.24 | Desire calls here, louder and stronger than ever before, because of | |
| D:17.26 | at the top of the mountain, fasting from want, becoming aware of | desire, responding to desire. This is the final stage of becoming. |
| D:17.26 | mountain, fasting from want, becoming aware of desire, responding to | desire. This is the final stage of becoming. Herein lies the secret |
| D:Day1.9 | akin to non-acceptance of the way that has been given to bring your | desire to fruition. The spacecraft could be seen as a response to |
| D:Day1.9 | to fruition. The spacecraft could be seen as a response to your | desire. So too can I. |
| D:Day1.17 | Your | desire to know me has grown as you have read these words and grown |
| D:Day1.27 | You can only fast from wanting by realizing what it is you | desire. My forty days and forty nights on the mountain succeeded my |
| D:Day1.27 | as my Self in the world. So too does it with you. You long for and | desire me because our story is the same. You are living my story as I |
| D:Day2.2 | Self. But still, in unguarded moments, in moments in which you would | desire peace, memories of your life continue to play within your |
| D:Day2.4 | what was always envisioned. This is the moment of fulfillment and | desire coming together, the time in which to realize “it was all |
| D:Day3.27 | been told time and time again. I do not ask you to give up what you | desire, but to expect and accept a response to what you desire. |
| D:Day3.27 | up what you desire, but to expect and accept a response to what you | desire. Remember that we are headed even beyond desire, and know that |
| D:Day3.27 | response to what you desire. Remember that we are headed even beyond | desire, and know that desire must first be met before you can be |
| D:Day3.27 | Remember that we are headed even beyond desire, and know that | desire must first be met before you can be taken beyond it. |
| D:Day3.51 | is depression, a lowering of spirits and energy, a lack of | desire, a lack of activity, a sinking feeling of going under, of |
| D:Day4.13 | this place. It is like being told that all of the treasure you might | desire is locked away behind a gate to which you have no key. |
| D:Day4.26 | key to 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:Day4.29 | can be purchased through your right-actions or even your longing and | desire. For this access is not a tool but a function of who you are. |
| D:Day4.36 | We talked earlier of this as a time of fulfillment and | desire. We acknowledged that your desire is stronger than ever |
| D:Day4.36 | this as a time of fulfillment and desire. We acknowledged that your | desire is stronger than ever before. Now is the time to focus on this |
| D:Day4.36 | is stronger than ever before. Now is the time to focus on this | desire and fulfillment, to stretch this desire to its limits, all the |
| D:Day4.36 | is the time to focus on this desire and fulfillment, to stretch this | desire to its limits, all the while realizing that its fulfillment |
| D:Day4.37 | This is a longing that carries with it the | desire to go beyond thinking, the desire to go beyond words, the |
| D:Day4.37 | a longing that carries with it the desire to go beyond thinking, the | desire to go beyond words, the desire to go beyond where your |
| D:Day4.37 | the desire to go beyond thinking, the desire to go beyond words, the | desire to go beyond where your imagination is capable of taking you. |
| D:Day4.37 | go beyond where your imagination is capable of taking you. It is a | desire for true discovery, a desire to access the previously unknown. |
| D:Day4.37 | is capable of taking you. It is a desire for true discovery, a | desire to access the previously unknown. |
| D:Day4.38 | where the portal of access will take you, you will not go. Thus your | desire needs to be greater than your fear. Love needs to reign. Love |
| D:Day4.44 | or is once 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. |
| D:Day4.45 | choices. There is only one requirement for this choice: Wholehearted | desire. Wholehearted desire is what A Course of Love taught you so |
| D:Day4.45 | one requirement for this choice: Wholehearted desire. Wholehearted | desire is what A Course of Love taught you so that you could be taken |
| D:Day4.48 | Your | desire and your access are one and the same. If you desire this |
| D:Day4.48 | Your desire and your access are one and the same. If you | desire this transformation wholeheartedly, if you make this choice |
| D:Day4.48 | wholeheartedly, if you make this choice with wholehearted | desire, it will be done, and we will continue our dialogue so that |
| D:Day4.49 | will not transform you. If you do not truly and wholeheartedly | desire this choice, if you do not truly and wholeheartedly meet the |
| D:Day4.54 | You but think that you can wholeheartedly | desire to move forward with love and without fear and that there is |
| D:Day5.12 | may have and another may not. While this remains the case, you may | desire to give others what you have and feel unable to do so. Yet, |
| D:Day5.15 | and its expression, will not look the same way twice. What you each | desire from union most will be what finds the greatest expression |
| D:Day5.17 | your talents have been recognized, are as given as the goal you now | desire to realize. Again I remind you that the sameness of union is |
| D:Day5.19 | than when specifics are being dealt with. Yet you continue to | desire specifics. This is because you are still entrenched in the |
| D:Day5.20 | is to come to you to come. If you could indeed give in to this | desire fully, it would speed the transformation along quite nicely. |
| D:Day5.20 | nicely. So please, listen to your weariness and to your heart’s | desire to rest. Listen to the call to peace and let yourself recline |
| D:Day6.14 | It may take on many forms, but its main source is almost surely a | desire to focus on the relationship developing between us, and a |
| D:Day6.14 | focus on the relationship developing between us, and a corresponding | desire not to have to focus on the details of daily life. You may be |
| D:Day6.24 | has stepped aside as a teacher and become a companion. Would you | desire to prolong your time as an apprentice by being removed from |
| D:Day6.28 | many of you are currently experiencing in one way or another. Your | desire is where it belongs—here—in the passionate acceptance of |
| D:Day6.28 | the passionate acceptance of our work together. And so the lack of | desire you are experiencing for other areas of the life you still |
| D:Day6.28 | you. Yet why should this be disturbing? Why should you continue to | desire the life you have had? |
| D:Day6.30 | Do you need to feel | desire for what you do in order to do it peacefully? Do you need to |
| D:Day8.2 | moment is what will cause the transformation that will end your | desire to remove yourself from life. All those frustrations you |
| D:Day8.4 | Realize that your | desire for your life to be different, your desire for your |

| C:18.14 | remains now is a choice of participation. In unity, all that you | desired was participated in fully by a mind and heart combined in |

| T4:7.8 | has occurred. The student no longer needs to attend school once the | desired curriculum is learned, except through their own choice. Again |
| T4:10.11 | Learning was what was necessary in order to allow you to fulfill the | desired experience of expressing the Self of love in form. No longer |
| D:2.4 | to enable the return to unity. This pattern has achieved its | desired end and so is no longer needed nor appropriate. While it was |
| D:2.4 | While it was once a pattern whose design was perfect for the | desired end, continuation of this pattern will but interfere with |
| D:2.5 | An example of a pattern whose design was perfect for the | desired end is that of formal education. Education has a natural |

| D:2.11 | it to be you call it a success, and if the outcome is not as you | desired it to be you call it a failure. You admit that what you |

| D:4.22 | the prison were gifts indeed. So too are the gifts many of you have | desired and still feel as if you need. If you have imprisoned |
| D:5.7 | of emotional attachment or non-attachment, still would produce the | desired effect of creating desire for oneness if you truly saw and |
| D:5.19 | acceptance of form as what it is. This is the new reality you have | desired. To live as who you are in form. To not wait for death’s |
| D:8.10 | true Self and the true expression of the Self. Thus where you have | desired to express yourself in the past is very likely linked to the |
| D:11.6 | desire will still be with you when you have achieved what you have | desired? Is it not possible to conceive of a time in which desire |

| T4:2.24 | must come a new understanding of relationship and the ability of the | devotion of the observant to affect those relationships. |
| T4:3.3 | to its original nature—by its original nature or intent. The | devotion of the observant will return you to your original purpose. |
| T4:6.4 | envision, desire, will be what you create. This is the power of the | devotion of the observant. A shared vision of unity and a return of |
| D:Day1.15 | you call that love. You all are equally beloved. That you give your | devotion to one religious tradition or another matters not. That you |
| D:Day6.26 | or you would not be here. You know this or you would not feel the | devotion to me and to what we do here that you do. And what’s more, |
| D:Day6.26 | only a few and leave all others behind, you would not feel this | devotion. You know our task is holy and incomparable. You know there |

| T4:12.8 | and complete explanation of the non-intermediary nature of this | dialogue is that it exists in unity. It is given and received in |

| D:1.20 | Does it matter who is first to hear the music? This is, in truth, a | dialogue between me and you. Wish not that the “way” of the |
| D:3.2 | now. It is within you as we speak, the tone and timbre of this | dialogue. |
| D:3.4 | but words that will become usual in our normal conversation in this | dialogue. I use them as I use together the words accept and deny. As |
| D:3.12 | of the elevated Self of form, and what we work toward through this | dialogue is your full awareness of what this means. |
| D:3.13 | you know what you need to know. What we seek to achieve through this | dialogue is acceptance and awareness of what you know. Acceptance is |
| D:3.15 | What might this mean to the elevated Self of form? Using this | dialogue as an example will serve to explain. This dialogue is |
| D:3.15 | form? Using this dialogue as an example will serve to explain. This | dialogue is continuous and ongoing. It is giving and receiving as |
| D:3.15 | being shared. You are a representation, for instance, of this | dialogue. You are a representation of all of your brothers and |
| D:3.16 | you are giver and receiver. Your Self is a full participant in this | dialogue. You as the Self are the truth. You as the Self are the |
| D:3.23 | What this portion of the | dialogue attempts to do is to give you a language to support what you |
| D:5.16 | what then are you to do? You are to create in community, in | dialogue, in commitment and togetherness. You are to be the living |
| D:5.17 | am merely answering the questions that remain and that occur as this | dialogue proceeds. What I am attempting to answer now is your |
| D:5.22 | So let today’s | dialogue serve as a final call, a most emphatic call, to acceptance. |
| D:11.2 | You might even consider this | Dialogue the written notes of my thoughts. In this one example can |
| D:11.3 | I do, or of what occurs in unity. I am and I extend what I am. This | dialogue is that extension. God’s idea of you extended and became you |
| D:11.4 | In the opening page of this | Dialogue I said that you give and you receive from the well of |
| D:11.5 | mind. Again, is this not what we spoke of in the beginning of this | Dialogue? What was spoken of as your desire to prepare? |
| D:11.13 | in your heart. We are the sacred heart. As was said as we began this | Dialogue, we, together, are the well of spirit. We, together, are the |

| D:12.4 | and as such is associated with the spoken word. When you enter into | dialogue with another person, you listen, you hear, and you respond. |
| D:12.4 | This is exactly what occurs here. You have “entered into” this | dialogue. While you think these words come to you through the written |
| D:12.8 | We have spoken already of “entering into” | dialogue. When you enter into dialogue with another person you “hear” |
| D:12.8 | have spoken already of “entering into” dialogue. When you enter into | dialogue with another person you “hear” what it is they have to say. |
| D:12.9 | it to be the “thinking” of another that is shared with you in | dialogue, but the thoughts. Thus this distinction will suffice for |
| D:Day1.7 | as you must accept your ascension to this mountain peak and this | dialogue that is occurring here. If you believe this mountain peak is |

| D:Day3.19 | but join in so that you understand, as do those for whom this | dialogue is meant, the power of this aspect of your brothers and |
| D:Day3.25 | use would you have of learning if such were not the case? In our | dialogue, we have begun to use examples of what you did not learn in |
| D:Day3.36 | To teach is to convey the known. To speak of a way is to invite | dialogue and a journey. This is what all master “teachers” taught, |
| D:Day4.1 | While we will broaden the focus of today’s | dialogue beyond that of money or abundance, we will still be |
| D:Day4.1 | will be and as such are actually appropriate to this stage of our | dialogue. We can argue here before we go on. We face together here |
| D:Day4.5 | As we discussed in yesterday’s | dialogue, learning has not been a choice. Both as divine design and |
| D:Day4.48 | with wholehearted desire, it will be done, and we will continue our | dialogue so that you know more of the difference you have chosen. |
| D:Day4.56 | is the beginning. This is the choice that allows us to continue our | dialogue as one. To talk heart to heart. To have the kind of |
| D:Day6.16 | by facilitating the acceptance of life as it is. This is why this | dialogue is occurring on the holy mountain without taking you away |
| D:Day6.17 | wait for some convenient time. Quite the contrary. We are having our | dialogue on the holy mountain while you remain within your life for |
| D:Day6.22 | done! Think not that I cannot arrange the ideal environment for our | dialogue. This is it! |
| D:Day6.26 | Our | dialogue is not without purpose. You know this or you would not be |
| D:Day6.31 | encouraged rather than discouraged that you are able to embrace this | dialogue and remain in your life. Realize that this is just what we |
| D:Day7.21 | you may be experiencing. Thus these will be the subject of our next | dialogue. |
| D:Day8.1 | again, a bit of disappointment or resignation as a result of our | dialogue concerning not removing yourself from life. Your whole |
| D:Day8.1 | from life. Your whole purpose in pursuing the course of this | dialogue may have been, at least subconsciously, the idea of removing |
| D:Day10.13 | of your personal self that was discussed at the beginning of our | dialogue. While you still hold an image of your personal self, you |
| D:Day10.15 | I have removed myself from the role of teacher and entered this | dialogue with you as an equal, you still hold an image of me as |
| D:Day10.20 | however, ask you to give up your identification of the voice of this | dialogue as that belonging to the man Jesus who lived two thousand |
| D:Day10.21 | of the man Jesus. As you join with Christ-consciousness in this | dialogue, you will realize you have not lost your Self but will only |
| D:Day10.23 | source, if you can hear it and feel it and think of it as a true | dialogue, a true sharing in relationship in which an exchange is |
| D:Day10.24 | it is a key to your understanding of your Self and your power. This | dialogue, as one-sided as it may seem when presented in this way, is |
| D:Day10.24 | you have forgotten. I am not having a monologue, but we are having a | dialogue in which you are a full participant. As much of what you |
| D:Day14.12 | know. These words are only one means, which is why this is called a | dialogue. Realize now that this is but one voice of the many. You |
| D:Day14.12 | that this is but one voice of the many. You have entered into the | dialogue with the many as well as the one. This dialogue is going on |
| D:Day14.12 | entered into the dialogue with the many as well as the one. This | dialogue is going on all around you. Have you been listening to but |
| D:Day14.13 | You must now own this | dialogue—own it as you own the power that is yours. This one voice |
| D:Day14.14 | Entering the | dialogue is the means of sustaining the one voice within the many, |
| D:Day15.1 | fully realize that sharing is necessary you will have entered the | dialogue. When you have fully surrendered to the fact that you can’t |
| D:Day15.1 | that you can’t come to know on your own you will have entered the | dialogue. When you fully accept that the voice of the one can be |
| D:Day15.1 | one can be heard in the voice of the many you will have entered the | dialogue. When you fully realize that you are in-formed by everything |
| D:Day15.1 | by everything and everyone in creation, you will have entered the | dialogue. |
| D:Day15.11 | Engaging in | dialogue with those who join you on the mountain top is necessary to |
| D:Day15.11 | with those with whom you are engaged in this specific mountain top | dialogue. It is not an acceptable state for full-scale interaction |
| D:Day15.14 | If so, enter the | dialogue with the purpose of your final preparations in mind. Bring |
| D:Day15.17 | Realize how necessary | dialogue is. Many resist this stage of development because they feel |
| D:Day15.18 | Entering the | dialogue keeps you in constant contact with the unknown and with |
| D:Day15.19 | thus are not to come together as the known but as the unknown. You | dialogue about the unknown, not the known. By keeping in constant |
| D:Day15.19 | By keeping in constant contact with the unknown you stay in constant | dialogue for you have not claimed a knowing that disallows coming to |
| D:Day15.19 | have not claimed a knowing that disallows coming to know. You are in | dialogue because in dialogue, coming to know is a fluid exchange. |
| D:Day15.19 | that disallows coming to know. You are in dialogue because in | dialogue, coming to know is a fluid exchange. |
| D:Day15.21 | To be engaged in | dialogue with certain others is different than entering the dialogue, |
| D:Day15.21 | in dialogue with certain others is different than entering the | dialogue, but entering the dialogue is not different than engaging in |
| D:Day15.21 | others is different than entering the dialogue, but entering the | dialogue is not different than engaging in specific dialogues. This |
| D:Day15.21 | than engaging in specific dialogues. This is so because entering the | dialogue is an all-encompassing state in which everything and |
| D:Day15.21 | everything and everyone interacts with you through the exchange of | dialogue. While you are asked to promote wholeness and the |
| D:Day15.21 | than you see those with whom you are engaged in this specific | dialogue for this specific purpose or practice. |
| D:Day15.22 | However, knowing that you have entered the | dialogue does not mean that you will not have an awareness of those |
| D:Day15.25 | the practical aspects has just been discussed—that of engaging in | dialogue with some and entering the dialogue with all. This is a |
| D:Day15.25 | discussed—that of engaging in dialogue with some and entering the | dialogue with all. This is a demonstration of levels of consciousness |
| D:Day15.26 | As you engage in | dialogue as the spacious Self and are made known, your purpose here |
| D:Day15.26 | you thought it would be. You will be shown that you can enter the | dialogue with all and still focus, or place your attention, on areas |
| D:Day17.4 | drive that kept you reading this Course, caused you to enter this | dialogue, kept you examining, kept you attempting to move beyond |
| D:Day20.1 | so that you begin to rely more and more fully on the truth of this | dialogue. |
| D:Day20.4 | you have within your minds and hearts and have been sharing in this | dialogue. The way of saying this perhaps is new, but the way of |
| D:Day21.9 | upon yourself. This reliance upon yourself has been expressed as a | dialogue taking place within Christ-consciousness, the consciousness |
| D:Day21.9 | union and relationship with all. You have now been told to own this | dialogue and to realize that its wisdom is your own. Are you |
| D:Day23.1 | this. The Treatises gave you a way to apply this understanding. This | dialogue is meant to give you the means to carry what you have been |
| D:Day26.2 | and leaders of all kinds, through words spoken and read, through | dialogue, through example. If you had known, you would not have |
| D:Day28.16 | Acceptance has been a main theme of this | dialogue and was revisited and defined as acceptance of internal |
| D:Day28.27 | This is what we will continue to speak of as we conclude this | dialogue. |
| D:Day39.34 | Am is who I am and who you are? What memory has this Course and this | Dialogue returned to you? What memory is without attributes because |
| D:Day39.42 | that has taken place under the tutelage of Jesus, within the | dialogue with Christ-consciousness, within the recesses of your heart |
| D:Day40.32 | You are my beloved. We have just shared a | dialogue. Your heart has spoken to me, and I have responded. Love has |
| D:Day40.33 | When you turn the last page, will you cry tears of sadness that our | dialogue is complete, that you will hear my voice no more? Or will |
| D:Day40.34 | Will you continue this | dialogue with me and with each other? Will you carry it with you to |

| E.17 | in a sense, this dialogue, in this form, must come to an end. The | dialogue you will carry forward with you, with your realization of |

| E.19 | Leave these words behind now, and bring only the | dialogue with you. You will unerringly find those who can engage in |
| E.19 | with you. You will unerringly find those who can engage in the new | dialogue, those who have chosen the new, those who seek to share and |
| A.35 | lies direct relationship—direct relationship with me. Entering the | dialogue is the way this is expressed; yet this is not merely about |
| A.35 | way this is expressed; yet this is not merely about entering spoken | dialogue. As was said in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought,” |
| A.35 | was said in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought,” “Creation is but a | dialogue to which you have not responded.” |

| C:P.18 | difference between your good intentions and willing with God? The | difference is in who you think you are and who God knows you to be. |
| C:P.18 | is in who you think you are and who God knows you to be. While this | difference remains you cannot share your will with God or do what God |
| C:P.18 | have, or a choice to know your Self as God created you. It is the | difference between wanting to know God now, and wanting to wait to |
| C:2.8 | to purposeless lives, convinced one person among billions makes no | difference and is of no consequence. Still others put on blinders to |
| C:2.10 | you does not weep, for the Christ in you sees with eyes of love. The | difference is the eyes of love see not the misery or despair. They |

| C:4.23 | Everywhere you look is proof of love’s difference found. This | difference is your salvation. Love is not like anything or everything |
| C:4.25 | apart that you have made and extend them outside love’s doors. What | difference would a world of love make to those who lock their doors |
| C:5.10 | is a celebration. Love collected is but a mockery of love. This | difference must be recognized and understood, as must the urge to set |
| C:5.14 | reigns. No nightmares rule the night. Let me give you once again the | difference between what is within and what is without: Within is all |
| C:5.28 | comes about. There must be some secret you do not know. What is the | difference, you ask, between setting a goal and achieving it and |
| C:5.29 | the choice to achieve what you will on your own. This is all the | difference there is between union and separation. Separation is all |
| C:6.20 | do you not still think of them as who they were in life? What is the | difference, in your mind, between who they were and who they are |
| C:6.21 | use to deny yourself hope of any kind. You do not understand the | difference between wishing for what can never be and accepting what |
| C:7.18 | split mind. Even your language and images reflect this truth, this | difference between the wisdom of your heart and that of your mind. |
| C:8.10 | of you whose perceptions remain quite faulty know that there is a | difference between what lies on the surface and what lies beneath. |
| C:9.49 | and use the rest to support your separate stance. See you the | difference in these two positions? In what way is your way better |
| C:10.17 | might lead to happiness instead of this, you will begin to see a | difference in your body’s response to what appear to be external |
| C:10.18 | within it. These instructions to your heart will begin to make a | difference to your state of mind. |
| C:10.24 | the same kind of thoughts you might have of someone else’s body. The | difference will be that these thoughts will not seem to have |
| C:14.1 | but a minute of this, and you will begin to see the enormity of the | difference in these two purposes. |
| C:15.4 | own desire for specialness or to make another special could make a | difference to many—or possibly even to anyone. You just want to |
| C:16.6 | Without judgment there would be no separation, for you would see no | difference between yourself and your brothers and sisters. Your |
| C:21.3 | feel. When your heart can feel, you need no judgment to tell you the | difference between one thing and another. You thus can begin to quit |
| C:22.18 | the finding of a definition, a personal meaning. Can you see the | difference? |
| C:28.13 | to respond to them. One will be a teacher, another a student. The | difference will be clear if you listen with your heart. |
| C:29.2 | Others think of it in terms of charity, and continue to see a | difference between those who would serve and those who would be |
| C:30.7 | a dualistic position with God, but in a monistic state with Him. The | difference is in realizing relationship with the infinite instead of |
| C:30.8 | This huge | difference is easily overlooked and rarely seen as the key that |
| C:31.22 | are, but about who you truly are, and yet it is the way to learn the | difference while learning is still necessary. |
| C:32.1 | also reflects the content of who you are not. It is in telling the | difference between the two that you need guidance. You have |
| C:32.1 | guidance. You have previously looked to those who do not know the | difference for your answers. Now you can see that you need to look to |
| C:32.2 | will eventually return you to the Source, which is Love. The | difference between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is but the same |
| C:32.2 | The difference between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit is but the same | difference of which we speak when we assure you that you are of one |
| C:32.2 | relationship of one aspect of creation with all the rest that the | difference you so prize as your uniqueness exists. And only there. |
| T1:2.5 | of Love as new learning has begun and continues here as well. The | difference is that you are now ready to learn a new means of response |
| T1:4.13 | in the same or similar actions does not negate the need for the | difference to be realized. Charity is a responsibility. Love is a |
| T1:4.13 | Charity is a responsibility. Love is a response. See you not the | difference? Can a father not be guided by responsibility and still |
| T1:4.20 | that this will concern you while you continue to not realize the | difference between response and interpretation. The only way for this |
| T1:4.20 | to begin to practice the art of thought and thus begin to learn the | difference. |
| T2:3.1 | or imagined is and is reflected in the world you see. The only | difference between the life you are living and the life you want lies |
| T2:4.12 | yourself to be, not with who you are. They do not recognize the | difference between thinking and knowing. |
| T2:9.10 | which you deny your needs or are honest about your needs makes the | difference in your connection or separation within relationship. The |

| T3:8.8 | of the belief that one person, and surely not you, can make a | difference. If you could relieve the world of suffering you would, |
| T3:11.10 | to the precept of not judging by denying any right or wrong, the | difference between truth and illusion can no longer be denied. To |
| T3:11.10 | between truth and illusion can no longer be denied. To realize the | difference between truth and illusion is not to call one right and |
| T3:14.2 | Let me attempt to make the | difference between having a new thought system and living by a new |
| T3:15.9 | you have offered or attempted, will take place in relationship. The | difference is that this new beginning will take place in holy, rather |
| T3:19.13 | with a benevolent universe than it once did because of the | difference between one reality and the other, a difference that |
| T3:19.13 | did because of the difference between one reality and the other, a | difference that couldn’t be seen until it was represented in an |

| T4:1.17 | The | difference between this time and the time that has but seemed to have |
| T4:1.17 | has but seemed to have gone before has already been stated as the | difference between the time of the Holy Spirit and the time of |
| T4:1.17 | Spirit and the time of Christ. This has also been restated as the | difference between the time of learning through contrast and the time |
| T4:1.17 | of learning through observation. It is further stated here as the | difference between learning by contrast and indirect communication |
| T4:4.17 | it were just another preview of what to expect after you die? What | difference would this make to your way of living or the world in |
| T4:7.5 | is one free of fear and judgment. This is all that makes up the | difference between your natural state and your unnatural state. As |
| T4:12.10 | You will be again surprised, however, to find what an enormous | difference the release of this idea will make in your capacity to |
| T4:12.26 | being of service to you. That is how new this is—and more. But the | difference is that you are not alone and that you are not in a |
| D:3.18 | and the elevated Self of form, but to demonstrate that there is a | difference in form between the Self and the elevated Self of form. |
| D:3.19 | It is this | difference that exists between the Self and the elevated Self of form |
| D:3.19 | One of the major things we will be seeing as we proceed is the | difference between form and content and the difference in the way |
| D:3.19 | as we proceed is the difference between form and content and the | difference in the way separate forms express content. It will be |
| D:5.3 | As was said in “A Treatise on the Personal Self”, there is a huge | difference between a true representation and a false representation. |
| D:13.1 | know the truth and then discover that you were wrong. You know the | difference between certainty and uncertainty and are far more likely |
| D:15.17 | is not often thought of as a lasting measure, which is the primary | difference between the idea of maintenance and the idea of sustenance. |
| D:16.9 | The | difference between the way that is and what is lies in choice. While |
| D:17.17 | asks for a response while want asks for provision. What is the | difference we speak of here? |
| D:Day2.2 | re-viewed your life, unlearned previous patterns, and now see the | difference between the image you hold of yourself and your present |
| D:Day2.11 | than a tornado or a flood. Yes, this was different, but this | difference does not place these actions beyond the idea of acceptance. |
| D:Day3.14 | set forth in this Course, when practiced, are capable of making a | difference, especially in terms of monetary abundance. This is one of |
| D:Day3.36 | Learning is no longer the way for good reason. It exemplifies the | difference between information and wisdom, between finding an answer |
| D:Day3.57 | Do you see the | difference, even here, in belief and acceptance? Can you begin to see |
| D:Day4.45 | This is real choice. What is a choice that leads not to | difference of any kind? These are the only choices you have made in a |
| D:Day4.48 | done, and we will continue our dialogue so that you know more of the | difference you have chosen. Once this difference is wholly known to |
| D:Day4.48 | so that you know more of the difference you have chosen. Once this | difference is wholly known to you, we will begin true discussion of |
| D:Day5.11 | There would seem to be one major | difference between unity and love and that difference would seem to |
| D:Day5.11 | seem to be one major difference between unity and love and that | difference would seem to be love’s ability to be given away. |
| D:Day6.3 | Before we can continue to expand on your awareness of the | difference you have chosen, we thus must address this time so that |
| D:Day6.4 | Can you see the similarities between these actions despite the | difference in language used? |
| D:Day9.22 | same and not realizing sameness, they fail to celebrate their own | difference and do not bring the gift of their sameness, or of their |
| D:Day9.22 | difference and do not bring the gift of their sameness, or of their | difference, to the world, but hold it in waiting for such a time as |
| D:Day10.3 | to sustainability today, I am merely making you aware of this | difference, just as I made you aware of the difference between the |
| D:Day10.3 | making you aware of this difference, just as I made you aware of the | difference between the states of maintenance and sustainability. As |
| D:Day15.7 | The | difference between simply bringing spirit into form and making spirit |
| D:Day15.7 | spirit into form and making spirit known through form is the | difference for which the time has come. The observation you have |
| D:Day17.1 | the human and the divine into observable form. Thus there must be a | difference between life-consciousness and Christ-consciousness, since |
| D:Day18.4 | or individuated from the rest. It is full acceptance of | difference as well as sameness and of the necessity of each. It is a |
| D:Day18.4 | It is a choice many will be called to so that sameness is seen in | difference, the one is seen in the many, and the many seen in the |
| D:Day22.1 | noted that you realize that all of life is a channel. There is a big | difference between seeing a teacher as a channel, all of life as a |
| D:Day28.1 | to view the choices available would be to put off coming to know the | difference between externally and internally directed life |
| D:Day32.20 | a state of limited relationship, you have limited power. This is the | difference between God and man. This difference, however, can be |
| D:Day32.20 | have limited power. This is the difference between God and man. This | difference, however, can be diminished as you embrace holy |
| D:Day34.2 | relationship, all and nothing are the same. In relationship, the | difference between all and nothing is everything. So too is it with |
| D:Day34.2 | creation and destruction are the same. In relationship, the | difference between creation and destruction is everything. |
| D:Day34.3 | Relationship is needed to create | difference. However, relationship with everything creates sameness— |
| D:Day34.4 | and experience this oneness of being in relationship rather than the | difference of being in relationship—the wholeness of being in |
| D:Day34.5 | you will create a new world—a world based on sameness rather than | difference. You have faced and admitted your willingness to leave |
| D:Day35.18 | you know it is what you have made. You will only fully realize the | difference between what you have made and what you can create when |
| D:Day36.8 | you can create a new reality—a new world? Can you not see the | difference between creating as a separate self in response to a |
| D:Day36.10 | The | difference here is all the difference in the world. It is the |
| D:Day36.10 | The difference here is all the | difference in the world. It is the difference between all and nothing |
| D:Day36.10 | The difference here is all the difference in the world. It is the | difference between all and nothing in relationship to one another. |
| D:Day36.10 | to one another. Recall the example used earlier. There is no | difference between all and nothing without relationship. In |
| D:Day36.10 | between all and nothing without relationship. In relationship, the | difference is everything. This same difference is what is meant when |
| D:Day36.10 | In relationship, the difference is everything. This same | difference is what is meant when it is said that you are one in being |
| D:Day36.10 | and God was nothing. But just as with all and nothing, there was no | difference between your being and God’s being without relationship. |
| D:Day36.10 | of self and God in different ways, but you could not truly create | difference but only perceive of difference. You thus always remained |
| D:Day36.10 | ways, but you could not truly create difference but only perceive of | difference. You thus always remained one in being with God, yet |
| D:Day36.11 | There is only | difference between your being and God in relationship. This is the |
| D:Day36.12 | the choices in the world save this one before you now, have made no | difference to your state of being. You have just kept being, kept |
| D:Day37.10 | the second coming of Christ has sounded and that it is a call to the | difference you have always desired while not requiring you to remain |
| D:Day37.26 | The only real | difference that exists or has ever existed between God and man is |
| D:Day37.26 | that exists or has ever existed between God and man is that man sees | difference in a way that makes no sense. Like the faulty ideas of |
| D:Day38.11 | There is a subtle and loving | difference between I Am and who I Am. Who is an acknowledgment of |
| D:Day40.14 | The | difference between you and me is that I am being God and also love, |
| E.20 | only if you allow and will yourself to realize and make real this | difference. It is a difference between becoming and being. It is all |
| E.20 | and will yourself to realize and make real this difference. It is a | difference between becoming and being. It is all the difference in |
| E.20 | It is a difference between becoming and being. It is all the | difference in the world. It is the difference between separation and |
| E.20 | becoming and being. It is all the difference in the world. It is the | difference between separation and differentiation in union and |
| E.21 | This | difference, if you will allow it to come, will take away all worry, |

| T3:21.22 | I am saying is that your differences can serve our purpose until | differences are no longer seen. What I am saying is that you can |
| T3:21.23 | remain blind to the unity that exists beyond all barriers of seeming | differences such as those of race and religion. It is simply being |
| T3:22.11 | one Self. No comparison will be possible. You will realize that | differences but lie in expression and representation of the truth, |
| D:3.19 | become aware that different expressions do not make different. These | differences were spoken of within this Course as unique expressions |
| D:4.2 | While not the same, you also are not different. The | differences you saw during the time of learning, differences that |
| D:4.2 | not different. The differences you saw during the time of learning, | differences that made you feel as if each being stood separate and |
| D:4.12 | pattern is evident and should not be beyond your belief. Despite the | differences in what you see, think, and feel, there is but one |
| D:4.15 | you identified and classified the world around you based upon the | differences, or contrast that you saw. |
| D:5.13 | to be, just as the ego has ceased to be. To outline and define the | differences between what was created and what was made would be to |
| D:Day9.25 | imperfections but your “differences?” Have we not spoken of these | differences as givens, as gifts? These are not just the givens of |
| D:Day9.27 | you by learning practices that sought for sameness, and saw not your | differences as the gifts they are. |
| D:Day34.5 | and admitted your willingness to leave striving for specialness and | differences behind. Now you need only realize that your wholehearted |
| D:Day40.8 | who you are. Both beings and thus both extensions are the same. The | differences have arisen through becoming. For with the birth of I Am |
| E.5 | to move more fully back into your life, you will realize where the | differences between this natural Self and your former self lie. You |
| A.28 | shared. This sharing can offer a rich and rewarding opportunity for | differences to be revealed and for the welcome realization that |

| C:P.27 | Obviously the nature of God is | different than the nature of man. God does not have physical form and |

| C:12.22 | seemed to bring about a completely reshaped life, a destiny | different than that which had already been written. Yet this |
| C:14.2 | it? If not, you have made yourself creation’s enemy. You seek to be | different from all the rest, and in this seeking proclaim that one |

| C:21.7 | ways you will not find peace. You have, in the past, accepted these | different interpretations as natural. You see that there are two ways |
| C:21.7 | You act without unity. And, just as if you were two people acting on | different truths in the same situation, conflict cannot help but |
| C:21.8 | and internal meanings of the same situation are considered to be | different. This is fairly easy to see in extreme circumstances, but |

| C:25.9 | This makes you angry. This anger is re-enacted in thousands of | different scenarios in your life day after day and year after year |
| C:29.21 | and your power to make choices is an act that comes from an entirely | different place than decision-making. Claiming is akin to prayer and |

| T4:1.6 | specifically because of the precedent of its use historically. Many | different groups believe they are the chosen people of God, or |

| T4:1.20 | Different interpretations of indirectly received truth resulted in | different religions and varying sets of beliefs that, in the way of |
| T4:1.23 | despite the advances of learning that have taken place, it is a | different world. You have not known the secret yearning in the hearts |
| T4:2.15 | the expressions of the self you are and have been. Although you are | different now than you were as a child, and different now than you |
| T4:2.15 | been. Although you are different now than you were as a child, and | different now than you were a few years ago, and different now than |
| T4:2.15 | as a child, and different now than you were a few years ago, and | different now than when you began your learning of this Course, you |
| T4:2.31 | Have you suspected that you might see in ways literally | different? That you might see auras or halos, signs and clues |
| T4:4.13 | Being fully aware that you have life everlasting is totally | different than having faith in an afterlife. Faith is based upon the |
| T4:5.13 | thought of it as a time of judgment. But I tell you truly; it is no | different than the time that is upon you right now. The afterlife has |
| T4:6.3 | that unites us all will but continue life as it has been but in | different form. The realization of unity is the binding realization |
| T4:8.11 | come to see that you cannot fight a child’s nature, no matter how | different it might be from your own—just as in extreme cases you |
| T4:9.5 | to see that all messages of the truth say the same thing but in | different ways. There seems to be nothing new to be said, nothing to |
| T4:10.2 | see that you merely think of experience as learning through a | different means than studying. |
| T4:12.27 | shared by all learners and inherent to your natures. The means were | different for each, but the pattern was the same. There was an |

| D:1.20 | everyone, and think not that to hear “directly” from the Source is | different than what you do here. This is thinking with the mindset of |
| D:1.21 | you of what you have learned in unity, a learning that has been | different from all learning you but thought you accomplished as a |
| D:2.7 | but simply the truth. To learn the truth and not accept it is | different from learning what is necessary for a career. To learn the |
| D:3.13 | Helping you to achieve full awareness of who you are is | different than helping you to learn. As was said before, you know |
| D:3.19 | forms express content. It will be challenging to become aware that | different expressions do not make different. These differences were |
| D:3.19 | challenging to become aware that different expressions do not make | different. These differences were spoken of within this Course as |
| D:3.20 | As the system of nature supports the life of many | different trees, the trees are all still of one life-giving and |
| D:4.2 | While not the same, you also are not | different. The differences you saw during the time of learning, |
| D:4.4 | what becomes of all of those who see not what it means to be neither | different nor the same but to be one. |
| D:4.31 | the New, are one and the same, these reasons will disappear. All the | different reasons you would cite become what they are—one reason, |
| D:4.31 | reason—and you will see that what is one is neither the same nor | different. You will see that there is one answer, an answer different |
| D:4.31 | same nor different. You will see that there is one answer, an answer | different for everyone and yet the same for everyone. That answer is |

| D:12.7 | Let your reception of these words, a reception | different from the reading of the words of most and maybe all other |
| D:13.8 | of Christ, and you will begin to see the evidence that things are | different now. Join with others who are coming to know through the |
| D:15.23 | you return to the level ground from which you climbed, you will be | different as a result of having made your ascent. The hard work is |

| D:17.13 | What is | different now is that your wholeheartedness, as well as your desire, |
| D:Day1.14 | which I now would like to lead you beyond, the world would be a | different place. Have I not called you to a new time in which the |
| D:Day2.11 | if you had been the adulterer, the cause of the divorce, this was | different than a tornado or a flood. Yes, this was different, but |
| D:Day2.11 | divorce, this was different than a tornado or a flood. Yes, this was | different, but this difference does not place these actions beyond |
| D:Day3.14 | rather not even attempt an understanding of how things might be | different. As far as you have come, these ideas are still with most |

| D:Day4.33 | Many, however, have applied a | different kind of focus upon breathing as a form of meditation. In |
| D:Day4.44 | has been revealed, what is yours is everything. But you will be | different. |
| D:Day5.2 | you this access point will in truth be the same, but perhaps quite | different in the action which you use in order to enter it. For those |
| D:Day7.7 | acceptance that will be of great service to you now is that of the | different relationship that you will have with time. This is a time |
| D:Day8.4 | Realize that your desire for your life to be | different, your desire for your unhappiness to be gone, is very |
| D:Day9.5 | of the self of form. The certainty that arises from unity is | different from this confidence in the self of form and they must be |
| D:Day9.22 | are the same as the one they idolize, but realize only that they are | different. In “wanting” to be the same and not realizing sameness, |
| D:Day10.11 | you have trusted in the most is rational thought, and intuition is | different than rational thought, as are feelings of all kinds. You |
| D:Day10.12 | is often more difficult to become adept in doing something in a way | different than you have done it before than to do something |

| D:Day15.21 | To be engaged in dialogue with certain others is | different than entering the dialogue, but entering the dialogue is |
| D:Day15.21 | than entering the dialogue, but entering the dialogue is not | different than engaging in specific dialogues. This is so because |
| D:Day15.26 | own path will be made visible and you will see that it may be quite | different from the others with whom you are coming to know, and |
| D:Day15.26 | from the others with whom you are coming to know, and perhaps quite | different than you thought it would be. You will be shown that you |

| D:Day17.3 | are has been discussed in many ways, many of you still await being | different than who you are. This is because you realize that being |
| D:Day18.10 | within the other. But the way of discovery and demonstration is | different. |
| D:Day19.8 | with God. Each demonstrated the creative aspect of that function in | different ways. But the function remained one of direct union with |
| D:Day22.3 | The means of expression is there for everyone. What is expressed is | different because it is a combination of the universal (what is |
| D:Day22.9 | have been expressed here, that say so many similar things in so many | different ways, are words that are simply calling you to realization |
| D:Day24.7 | butterfly have always been one and remain one. Each form is but a | different stage in the becoming of the spirit. Without release, it |
| D:Day27.9 | All that is now seen as dualistic in nature can be experienced as | different levels of experience of one whole. You might consider this |
| D:Day27.9 | another, you might see the dawning of light. Opposites exist only as | different aspects of one whole. Different aspects exist only as |
| D:Day27.9 | of light. Opposites exist only as different aspects of one whole. | Different aspects exist only as different levels of experience. |

| D:Day28.6 | made choices within that career path, but never really consider a | different career path. Many simply reach a state of reasonable |
| D:Day28.8 | Now something new awaits you. It is a choice so | different and a means so revolutionary that it will take some getting |
| D:Day29.1 | simultaneously and that duality is really just a matter of | different levels of experience. If you can be having the experience |
| D:Day29.2 | longer be divided into a spirit Self and a human self, living under | different conditions, at times complementing and at times opposing |
| D:Day32.7 | Himself. This concept may be quite amorphous and not tremendously | different than scientific notions of the source of life. Whether it |
| D:Day32.17 | that of Father to Son but also as one in being. One in being, but | different in relationship. |
| D:Day32.18 | Could God be one in being, but | different in relationship, to each of us? Could not God’s oneness of |
| D:Day32.18 | God from us and us from God? So that we are both one in being and | different? Could it be that while we are one in being with God we can |
| D:Day32.19 | Would this answer your questions concerning how God is both | different and the same? Would this answer your questions concerning |
| D:Day33.7 | Yet if relationship and being are one, and you are one in being and | different in relationship, what is being said is that being and |
| D:Day33.9 | Yet the response of love can look as | different as the events, situations, people, and places that populate |
| D:Day33.12 | In other words, relationship is the expression of power—all the | different expressions of power. In the time of Jesus, the powerful |
| D:Day35.3 | This fullness of being is | different for each one of you because it is the cause and effect, the |
| D:Day35.3 | your being. But while it has been said that you are one in being and | different in relationship, relationship is also God. God is the |
| D:Day35.7 | and fundamental idea—the idea that you are one in being and | different in relationship. The idea that you return to your humanity |
| D:Day35.8 | caused life to be as it has been, this shift will cause life to be | different, or in other words, new. |
| D:Day35.13 | Unity is oneness of being. Relationship is | different expressions of oneness of being. |
| D:Day35.18 | Being a creator, and creating anew, is | different than being affected by the ongoing nature of creation. |
| D:Day35.19 | the power you have always retained. But creating in separation is as | different from creating in unity as has been your concept of God and |
| D:Day36.7 | is everything, your creatorship of your experience is a totally | different exercise. You realize that your life is not you but that |
| D:Day36.7 | are one. You are one in being with the power of creation and | different in your relationship to and expression of that power. |
| D:Day36.10 | is what is meant when it is said that you are one in being and | different in relationship. Without your awareness of unity and |
| D:Day36.10 | being without relationship. You could conceive of self and God in | different ways, but you could not truly create difference but only |
| D:Day36.16 | When you realize that you are one in being with God and | different in relationship you accept the power of being, or |
| D:Day36.19 | the truth. It is the same truth that has been stated here in many | different ways to allow you to become accustomed to the idea of a |
| D:Day37.2 | should it be difficult to see that God is being? This is not much | different than saying that the most basic truth about you is that you |
| D:Day37.25 | all of God and God was all of Jesus while at the same time each was | different or individuated by being in union and relationship. |
| D:Day38.9 | that have become faulty ideas in separation. They mean an entirely | different thing in union and relationship. They mean union and |
| D:Day38.13 | own being. We are one and we are many. We are the same and we are | different. In “own”-ership we are full of one another’s own being. We |

| D:Day40.6 | through which you became a different or distinct being, a being | different or distinct from who I am, and who others are. These are |
| D:Day40.16 | who you have thought me to be. Because these relationships are so | different, many of you have gone on quests to find the “one, true, |

| D:Day37.26 | your separate world spoken of early in this Course, your quest for | differentiation has been caused by your faulty memory of creation. To |

| C:18.17 | although it is recognized that a split mind makes decision making | difficult. You were already told that the only exercise for your mind |

| C:29.16 | but accentuated this manner of functioning and made of it something | difficult and challenging, something to be changed. The separation |

| T2:7.7 | This is the most | difficult belief of all to integrate into the living of your life. |
| T2:7.21 | While as stated previously, this belief will at times seem | difficult to put into practice, and while your recognition of |
| T2:9.3 | find the idea of letting go of special relationships among the most | difficult of ideas contained in this course of study, the ability to |
| T2:9.15 | the others mentioned here, this adjustment in your thinking may seem | difficult to accept. How does the identification of needs or the |
| T2:11.2 | of who you are, you will find living as who you are in the world | difficult as long as you perceive of others as living under the old |
| T2:11.10 | total reversal of thought concerning yourself and your world will be | difficult you are listening to your ego. The Christ in you knows not |
| T3:8.8 | Why should you not be bitter when you believe you are powerless? How | difficult it is to believe that you need not change the world but |
| T3:8.8 | that you need not change the world but only your own self. How | difficult to imagine that this one change could bring about all the |
| T3:10.6 | that have come before. They will not be lessons that you find | difficult or distressing if you accept them as lessons and realize |
| T3:15.3 | what is considered poor behavior can come to be an expectation | difficult to deviate from within the special relationship. But |
| T3:16.12 | If it were not for this fear of loss, you would not find it | difficult to live by the thought system of the truth. This fear |
| T3:20.8 | You will see it as quite | difficult at first to respond to such situations in a new way, but |
| T4:2.14 | It is | difficult for you, because of the patterns of the past, to believe |
| T4:8.7 | The expression of your true nature should never have been | difficult, joyless, or fearful; but you cannot imagine what a |
| T4:9.9 | learning and your study and your sharing of the same may find it | difficult to leave it behind. A choice made by you to stay with |
| D:2.9 | old have at times provided you with a false certainty that they are | difficult to deny. When we speak of denying here, we speak of denying |
| D:3.21 | and not only that, but as if I have presented you with a concept | difficult to learn. What you need remember now is that your separated |
| D:4.16 | thought pattern came most of your false ideas, ideas that made it | difficult even for the divinely inspired thought systems to provide |
| D:7.1 | of form. To “enter” into the experience of unity is something more | difficult to imagine, and something for which you have little |
| D:Day2.17 | constant companion of all those who have lived since my time. It is | difficult for you to believe that by following me you will not walk |
| D:Day3.29 | You think abundance is the most | difficult thing to demonstrate, when it is actually the easiest. You |
| D:Day3.29 | the easiest. You think you could learn what is for you the most | difficult type of learning, be it philosophy, math, or foreign |

| D:Day7.21 | There is an acceptance of the present that some of you are finding | difficult and a false sense of certainty that some of you may be |

| D:Day10.12 | said that the certainty that comes from access to unity may be less | difficult for you to become aware of and accept than the confidence |
| D:Day10.12 | way, and as you all know from the time of learning, it is often more | difficult to become adept in doing something in a way different than |
| D:Day10.38 | As you can see, it is | difficult for me, even now, even in this final address to you as the |
| D:Day15.15 | one another known and in so doing to know oneness. It will be less | difficult to know this voice as the voice of oneness once you have |
| D:Day19.17 | way of Jesus, those pursuing the way of Mary would have a much more | difficult task. There would be little space in which to anchor the |
| D:Day28.6 | direction that it is both exciting and at times excruciatingly | difficult. Others reach a plateau of sorts and just keep following |
| D:Day32.9 | we refer to as our conscience? What kind of life would this be? A | difficult to imagine life at the very least. |
| D:Day37.2 | believe in God as a supreme and separate being, why should it be | difficult to see that God is being? This is not much different than |
| D:Day37.7 | a separate being. If this were all this idea was, it would not be so | difficult to dislodge, but the difficulty lies in that you think of |
| D:Day39.4 | You may find it | difficult to give yourself an answer to who I Am to you in words, and |
| D:Day39.11 | Establishing this relationship with me may sound lofty and | difficult, but it is simple. It is as simple as relationship is |
| D:Day40.3 | Although this is a | difficult concept to get across with the words that are available, I |
| D:Day40.27 | Is this really so | difficult, so improbable, so discomfiting to accept? Does it become |
| D:Day40.27 | so improbable, so discomfiting to accept? Does it become less | difficult if you remember who I Am? That I Am everything being love? |
| A.13 | Through receptivity, what your mind finds | difficult to accept, your heart accepts with ease. Now you are ready |
| A.18 | for receptivity is more than some can accept. Why? Because it is too | difficult. It goes against all you have learned and the nature of the |
| A.25 | there is left to strive for and in doing so reach again the very | difficult transition away from striving. In unity, perfection is the |
| A.32 | group members can provide. The entrenched patterns of the past are | difficult to dislodge even when they have been recognized. |

| T4:2.22 | always existed. God always existed. But you separated yourself from | direct awareness of your relationship with unity, with oneness, and |
| T4:2.22 | you have also denied even the possibility of experiencing your own | direct relationship with God, or the possibility that your life is a |

| D:12.9 | of the separated self. We might make this a simpler subject to | discuss by making a distinction between thinking and thought. This |
| D:16.12 | has not quite been accomplished in you. This is precisely why we now | discuss this state of becoming, this movement from image to presence. |
| D:Day3.5 | a great deal of this anger yet, but it is there, and here we will | discuss its function. |
| D:Day6.1 | We now will | discuss being the true Self while becoming the true Self—the time |

| C:23.7 | Let me remind you of a key learning aid | discussed some pages back: You would not be other than you are. No |
| C:28.1 | must your lives bear witness. Lest this too be distorted, it must be | discussed. |
| T2:9.3 | in this course of study, the ability to let go must be further | discussed. |
| T3:1.5 | to distinguish between the true and the untrue has been repeatedly | discussed as the ability to separate fear from love, further |

| D:Day4.5 | As we | discussed in yesterday’s dialogue, learning has not been a choice. |
| D:Day4.50 | you have just been asked to accept your anger. Just think. Anger was | discussed rather casually alongside accepting me, your Self, and |
| D:Day5.1 | sustain the state of unity. This point of access will thus now be | discussed, both as an initial entry point and as a continued entry |
| D:Day5.21 | your chosen point of access lies, imagine now the needle that was | discussed as passing through the onion in the Course chapter “The |
| D:Day5.23 | Let’s return to the image of the healer that was | discussed earlier. While many will heal, all attempts to teach or |

| D:Day10.22 | this is the time of the second coming of Christ. What we have just | discussed is what both of these statements mean. This is the |
| D:Day15.25 | One of the practical aspects has just been | discussed—that of engaging in dialogue with some and entering the |
| D:Day17.3 | for you to claim your identity. Although being who you are has been | discussed in many ways, many of you still await being different than |
| D:Day28.2 | adulthood, coming of age, or the age of reason. These have been | discussed before so this will be kept brief and illustrate only what |
| D:Day40.26 | and today’s discussion of who you are to me, that one has not been | discussed without the other. This would be impossible. Because we are |
discussing (9) |

| C:22.2 | our language becomes one for both head and heart. We will begin by | discussing the concept of intersection and look at it as a |
| T1:5.4 | another aspect that relates to the fear of union we spent much time | discussing within A Course of Love. It is a fear of the human mind |
| T2:1.1 | through experience, it will become your identity. We will begin by | discussing the nature of treasure. |
| T3:2.4 | While much time was spent within this Course, | discussing the choice you but think you made, this discussion was |
| T3:6.2 | may seem a step back from the lofty heights we have just traveled, | discussing the reign of God and the meaning of life and death. But |
| D:4.10 | of existence in the same way and speak the same language while | discussing it. |
| D:8.8 | of what you needed to learn was put forth. What we are now doing is | discussing what was taught from the realm of wholeheartedness. What |
| D:9.11 | to expand the territory of your conscious awareness. We do this by | discussing now the nature of ideas as opposed to the nature of |

| T2:6.5 | into account the time that it will take? Relate this question to our | discussion of treasure and you will understand what it is of which I |
| T2:6.6 | on the concept of something being what it is, must be part of this | discussion. |
| T2:10.6 | Just as needs were shown to be distinguishable from wants by a | discussion of their shared nature, so too now must knowing be |
| T2:12.7 | This is why we also devoted a fair amount of this Treatise to a | discussion of calling. Calling is not only something you receive but |
| T3:2.4 | this Course, discussing the choice you but think you made, this | discussion was necessary only in the same terms that made it |
| T3:2.12 | of the family of man to the family of God, as well as to our | discussion of the return of the prodigal sons and daughters of God. |
| T3:2.12 | of the return of the prodigal sons and daughters of God. This | discussion may have seemed to accept the idea of a self as highly |
| T3:2.12 | choose to explore independence, no matter what the cost. This | discussion merely examined the reality you chose to believe in, the |
| T3:19.8 | but this is no more the case than it was the case in regards to our | discussion of extremes. |
| T4:4.16 | Although this | discussion is likely to cause many of you serious doubts about the |
| T4:4.16 | doubts about the truth and applicability of this Course, this | discussion is necessary to your awareness of Christ-consciousness. To |
| T4:12.13 | you would desire it to be? These questions relate to our earlier | discussion of temptations of the human experience. Are you willing to |
| D:6.14 | I am calling all of this to mind in order to begin our | discussion concerning the suspension of belief. If you continue into |
| D:11.9 | might this relate to the giving and receiving of these words? To the | discussion we have been having about the body and the elevation of |
| D:12.9 | but the thoughts. Thus this distinction will suffice for our further | discussion in this chapter. |
| D:12.11 | same way as before. I am about to make the two main points of this | discussion: The first is that thinking, with or without the ego, is a |
| D:12.15 | that this wasn’t your usual opinion or idea you were offering up for | discussion, but something you knew the truth about! |
| D:Day2.15 | is necessary. I will give you one final example in order to make our | discussion as clear as possible. |
| D:Day3.5 | So our first point of | discussion in the realm of anger is that no matter where anger seems |
| D:Day3.40 | access, a new source of entry. But these points do not advance our | discussion now and can be returned to later. The point here is your |
| D:Day4.48 | Once this difference is wholly known to you, we will begin true | discussion of creation of the new, for you will be done with becoming. |
| D:Day7.5 | full awareness and the elevation of the self of form, but as in the | discussion of abundance, you may still feel unsupported in form. |
| D:Day8.1 | fresh in your minds and hearts, let’s return to that earlier | discussion. |
| D:Day8.17 | talked little of feelings here, and there has been a reason for this | discussion coming so late in our time together. To accept the |
| D:Day10.5 | These needs are tied to your feelings and thus we will return to a | discussion of feelings in connection with the ideas of confidence, |
| D:Day10.13 | This also relates to our | discussion of image versus presence and to the image of your personal |
| D:Day10.25 | Before we move on to the all-important | discussion of unity and relationship, let me spend my final time with |
| D:Day28.2 | this will be kept brief and illustrate only what is needed for our | discussion of the next stage. |
| D:Day40.26 | Perhaps you have noticed that in yesterday’s | discussion of who I Am to you and today’s discussion of who you are |
| D:Day40.26 | that in yesterday’s discussion of who I Am to you and today’s | discussion of who you are to me, that one has not been discussed |
| A.12 | Am I telling you not to question? Not to enter | discussion? I am only telling you to receive before you seek to |
| A.13 | ready to hear all the voices around you without judgment, to enter | discussion without an agenda to attend to, to not be so anxious to |
| A.26 | and again. New questions may arise and a desire for feedback or | discussion grow stronger. This may also be precisely the time when |
| A.31 | solving is to be discouraged. Trust is to be encouraged. Often a | discussion can be facilitated greatly by the question, “How might we |

| T3:20.6 | “bad” the illness or suffering is. You are likely to be drawn into | discussions concerning how the illness or suffering can be “fought.” |
| D:Day4.59 | and continue our movement toward creation of the new. There are many | discussions still to be had. We are only at the beginning of our time |
| D:Day35.17 | must have occurred in this way. We will not return to previous | discussions of original creation, but it must be thought of so that |
disease (11) |

| C:6.11 | left to climb, why choose heaven? Surely it can be chosen later when | disease has taken your limbs’ use from your control and your mind no |
| C:10.1 | to do? Learn this lesson well, for herein lies the cure to all | disease and the hope of all healing. While the body seems to tell you |
| T1:3.9 | you to think otherwise about yourself. If you ask for a cure for a | disease, how will you know that this cure is a miracle and not the |
| T1:3.18 | that person’s “time to die”? If you were to ask for the cure of a | disease, how would you know that disease was not meant to be to |
| T1:3.18 | you were to ask for the cure of a disease, how would you know that | disease was not meant to be to further someone’s learning? If you |
| T1:7.2 | at a given time, but never both. Thus the absence of good health is | disease; the absence of peace is conflict, the absence of truth |
| T3:8.11 | entertainment that would seem to provide them? People suffering from | disease: Why not cures for those diseases? |
| T3:18.6 | If you observe health rather than | disease, abundance rather than poverty, peace rather than conflict, |
| T3:18.6 | poverty, peace rather than conflict, happiness rather than sadness— | disease, poverty, conflict and sadness will be no more real to your |
| D:14.5 | the checkbook, or as momentous as a doctor’s diagnosis of a | disease. These questions could be asked when decision-making seems to |
| D:Day3.30 | thankful for your good health while at the same time dreading the | disease that may at any point take it from you, those of you who have |
diseases (2) |

| C:7.21 | feelings, from variations in the weather to unseen and unverifiable | diseases. You have given others, whom you see as having more |

| C:12.10 | This is the one | disjoining that your choice for separation brought about, and it is |
| T4:2.26 | of what is can occur. The separated state was nothing more than the | disjoining of heart and mind, a state in which mind attempted to know |

| D:Day8.7 | at least subconsciously—that your “real” Self has no feelings of | dislike, and in this confusion have been “trying” and even |

| D:Day8.14 | as in saying you do not like your job, you predetermine a continuing | dislike. Soon, you might see a group of people who often gossip and |

| D:Day8.12 | Will knowing your | dislikes cause you to be intolerant? This is an important question. |
| D:Day8.12 | Knowing this aspect of how you feel, what we are here calling your | dislikes, is but a first step in this beginning stage of acceptance |

||
| C:P.8 | a course to point out the insanity of the identity crisis and | dislodge the ego’s hold, this is a course to establish your identity |
| C:3.10 | it to be, it will be to you. While many teachings have attempted to | dislodge this concept that you hold so dear, because you use the mind |
| C:7.20 | understand that relationship exists in wholeness. We have begun to | dislodge your idea that you stand separate and alone, a being broken |
| C:9.13 | is useful because what you have named and classified is harder to | dislodge and bring to light. Even those feelings you attempt to name |
| C:10.7 | been with you longer and more constantly. Vigilance is needed to | dislodge them. |
| T2:4.3 | in Miracles was a change of thinking about yourself. It attempted to | dislodge the ego-mind that has provided you with an identity that you |
| T4:12.17 | survive, the mighty prevail, the weak shall perish. I attempted to | dislodge much of this learned wisdom during my time on Earth and man |
| D:Day37.7 | If this were all this idea was, it would not be so difficult to | dislodge, but the difficulty lies in that you think of God in your |
| A.32 | can provide. The entrenched patterns of the past are difficult to | dislodge even when they have been recognized. Individuals can be |
dislodged (1) |

| C:31.12 | to a better understanding of the heart, or love. How the ego becomes | dislodged matters not. What matters is where you place your devotion. |
dislodging (2) |

| C:31.11 | thoughts and given them an identity we have called the ego. Without | dislodging your belief in your ego as yourself you will never realize |

disloyalty (2) |

| T1:2.7 | the fallacy that the early teaching of A Course of Love sought to | dispel. |
| T1:4.2 | Thus we must | dispel, along with the illusion of fear, the illusion of specificity. |
| T3:19.4 | has been linked to temptations of the human experience. Let us now | dispel this link. The physical form has been blamed for choices made |

displacement (8) |

| C:9.45 | think your body would put you to. All such confusion stems from your | displacement of yourself and your abdication of your power to the |
| T4:3.4 | of the personal self capable of being observed in relationship. The | displacement of the original intent, while it did not change the |
| T4:3.4 | original cause, formed a false nature for the personal self. This | displacement of the original intent can be simply stated as the |

| T4:3.5 | You may not feel that you have ever intended to live in fear. But the | displacement of the original intent was so complete that each life |
| T4:3.5 | to be who you are and to express who you are is the result of the | displacement of the nature of love with the nature of fear. What we |

| T3:1.11 | defining a past self, a present self and a future self. The greatest | distinction of all was that between the private self and the public |

| D:6.6 | or non-living form. While you might think this is an easily drawn | distinction—and it is—it is not perhaps as you have previously |

| D:4.11 | accept is that existence is purposeful, that the universe exists in | divine order, and that your life is part of that divine design. |
| D:4.11 | universe exists in divine order, and that your life is part of that | divine design. |
| D:4.12 | Divine patterns are the patterns that made your existence in form | |
| D:4.12 | possible. These patterns are both external and internal. External | divine patterns include the observable forms that make up your world, |
| D:4.12 | to the stem of a plant to the workings of the human brain, a | divine pattern is evident and should not be beyond your belief. |
| D:4.12 | in what you see, think, and feel, there is but one external | divine pattern that created the observable world, and only one |
| D:4.12 | pattern that created the observable world, and only one internal | divine pattern that created the internal world. The internal divine |
| D:4.12 | divine pattern that created the internal world. The internal | divine pattern was that of learning. |
| D:4.13 | created together to exist in a complementary fashion. Both of these | divine patterns are being newly recreated and we will talk much more |
| D:4.15 | as the truth. Some of these systems of thought were part of the | divine pattern. Contrast is one such system. As a learning being, you |
| D:4.16 | Other systems of thought were not part of the | divine pattern. The ego is one such system. It may seem peculiar to |
| D:4.18 | Just as obviously, all we are left with is | divine design. All we are left with is what was given: A divine |
| D:4.18 | with is divine design. All we are left with is what was given: A | divine universe, a divine existence. That divine universe, our divine |
| D:4.18 | design. All we are left with is what was given: A divine universe, a | divine existence. That divine universe, our divine existence, is now |
| D:4.18 | with is what was given: A divine universe, a divine existence. That | divine universe, our divine existence, is now recreating the patterns |
| D:4.18 | A divine universe, a divine existence. That divine universe, our | divine existence, is now recreating the patterns that served the time |
| D:4.28 | What is one, or in union with all, draws from the well of | divine design. You need not turn to old patterns or systems to |
| D:4.29 | Self, now your life must be returned to where it fits within the | divine design, to where it is a life of meaning and purpose. This |
| D:4.29 | but magnanimous. It returns wholeness to you and wholeness to the | divine design. It returns creation to what it is. |
| D:5.9 | is the first step as it is the step necessary for the restoration of | divine design. True seeing facilitates the return to what is and we |
| D:6.14 | something new. For in this time of revelation, discovery is the new | divine pattern that will replace the “thought” systems we have spoken |
| D:13.4 | a flash, and is, in a sense, a humorous metaphor for the idea of a | divine “ray” of light descending and granting enlightenment. Take |
| D:Day3.28 | learning. The condition of want was a learning device—not one of | divine design, but one of the thought system of the ego. It was a |
| D:Day3.44 | to open the self of form to the place of unity, thus allowing this | divine flow of union into the elevated Self of form. |
| D:Day3.45 | Being open to the | divine flow of union is the exact opposite of the condition of anger. |
| D:Day4.5 | in yesterday’s dialogue, learning has not been a choice. Both as | divine design and as a pattern of the thought system of the ego, |
| D:Day4.5 | of the ego, learning has been with you and within you. Although the | divine design of the time of learning is being recreated, the |
| D:Day4.6 | The | divine design of learning was a given and a natural part of you, much |
| D:Day11.8 | Life is the connecting tissue of the web of form with the | divine All. Life is consciousness. Christ-consciousness is awareness |
| D:Day17.1 | and Christ-consciousness as the merging of the human and the | divine into observable form. Thus there must be a difference between |
| D:Day18.6 | The joining of mind and heart provided reunion of the human and | divine and thus accomplished the resurrection of the eternal in form. |
| D:Day21.6 | or information that you receive in union as a channel of the | divine life force that exists in everything and everyone. There is |
| D:Day23.5 | hold within yourself a will to know and to make known. This will is | divine will, your will, Christ-consciousness. It is alive within you. |
| D:Day25.2 | If there is nothing new to record, nothing new to learn, no new | divine inspiration, a part of your mind will attempt to create from |
| D:Day27.10 | and the external, the form and the content, the human and the | divine, is to elevate the self of form, or, in other words, to be |

| D:Day33.3 | and thus both are one in truth. This is the divine marriage, the | divine relationship of form and being. |
| D:Day37.3 | is, you are a woman and not a man, you are a human being and not a | divine being, you are a person and not a tree. As a separate being, |
| D:Day37.13 | —something you have seen as separate rather than distinct from the | divine being who is God. Because you are being, however, (and note |

| D:4.11 | enough during your time as a learning being that you accept that a | divine design created the universe and all that is in it, or that you |
| D:4.11 | you know that this is so. Either way, you may still believe in a | divine design without accepting that a divine design exists and that |

| T2:2.9 | think what prevents you from being who you are is far broader than a | division between mind and heart. Some of you would say you feel no |
| T2:4.13 | the birds of the air. You are asked to live a life where there is no | division between who you are and what you do. This place of no |
| T2:4.13 | is no division between who you are and what you do. This place of no | division is the place of unity. |
| T2:11.11 | and wholly divine? These statements can only be true if there is no | division between you and relationship, if there is no division |
| T2:11.11 | if there is no division between you and relationship, if there is no | division between the human and the divine. |
| T3:10.12 | no fear or judgment, no uncertainty or doubt, no contrast and no | division. It is the thought system of unity. It is your true thought |

| D:7.6 | being are one, or in other words from the state in which there is no | division between who you are and what you do. “Right” action comes |
| D:8.12 | for union with that from which it is divided. Enter the place of no | division, the place of shared consciousness, the place of wholeness. |

| D:Day31.4 | has already been stated, wholeness could not be experienced without | division. Wholeness and oneness are the same. You are one in being |
| D:Day37.11 | returns it to its original value. Think further of a problem in | division that results in something left undivided, something called a |

| C:18.21 | We talked briefly here of emotions, | doing so only to differentiate your feelings of love from your |
| C:19.18 | what you know not. This is not the problem. The problem is in who is | doing the asking. The separated self, while capable of asking, is |
| C:19.23 | goal is to move beyond perception to knowledge, a first step in | doing this is changing your means of perception to that of |

| C:26.27 | my pattern, the idea of me that came from the thought of God. In | doing so, I restored unity, oneness with God. I ushered in the new |
| C:28.9 | you know. While you continue to think of a separation in terms of | doing and of knowing, it is obvious this cannot be the case. |
| C:29.10 | cannot imagine God toiling, so you should cease to imagine your Self | doing thus. |
| C:29.11 | against it and to seek for ease in getting it done or ways to avoid | doing it at all. Thus have your paper plates and dishwashers taken |
| C:31.30 | At certain times of your life you state this seeking you are | doing quite clearly, and it is always specific. You are looking for a |
| T1:3.9 | agree to choose a miracle at all, which many of you will balk at | doing, you want to choose the “right” miracle. Some of you may think |
| T1:3.16 | Let us consider your objections to miracles one-by-one for in so | doing we will uncover the source of all your fears as well as the |
| T2:2.9 | or that you feel many. Others would cite practical reasons for | doing other than what they feel called to do. All of these ideas |
| T2:7.13 | concerning your desire to be good and to do good. This is not about | doing good works. This is about being who you are and seeing the |
| T2:7.16 | You thus will often say that you trust when what you are | doing is hoping for a specific outcome. Real trust is not a trust |
| T2:9.7 | you on this planet are not concerned with needs or need fulfillment. | Doing what needs to be done in order to survive is hardly the same as |
| T2:11.3 | Doing battle with the ego has become the preoccupation of many gifted | |

| T2:11.15 | that the concept of doing battle has emerged. This concept of | doing battle can only remain if you remain convinced that the ego is |
| T2:11.15 | two identities that exist within you and you will see yourself as | doing battle in countless ways and forms. There will never actually |
| T3:1.13 | what we have, a form fully able to represent the truth and, in so | doing, we bring the truth to life and life to the truth. |
| T3:10.14 | What we are | doing now is much like translating the learned thought system of the |
| T3:17.7 | Many others by many other names have represented the truth and in so | doing dispelled illusion within themselves and those who followed |
| T3:20.3 | learning how to live by the truth. This will benefit you and in so | doing benefit all others. |
| T3:20.8 | loving to believe in suffering? Do you not begin to see that in so | doing you but reinforce it? What you might even call the “fact” of |
| T3:22.3 | to what you currently do or to something you have always dreamt of | doing. Wherever you go, whatever you do, the truth will go with you. |
| T3:22.15 | you have enjoyed the game of chance, play a real game and have fun | doing it. Do not bring this attitude into your new thought system or |
| T3:22.17 | the personal self with one last act of love and devotion, and in so | doing transform the personal self into a representation of the truth. |
| T4:1.3 | In | doing so, it may seem to you as if some will be left out and as if |
| T4:10.3 | lessons contained therein. So how, you might ask, do you quit now, | doing what you have so long done? |
| T4:12.2 | or dialogue rather than through teaching. As with all new means of | doing anything, this dialogue must have a starting point. This is it. |
| T4:12.18 | your enrichment, than throwing out the old and beginning again? And | doing so without effort, without struggle. What could be more looked |
| D:4.6 | tell you truthfully that until you are living as who you are and are | doing what you love, you are in prison. This prison is as much of |
| D:4.22 | need. If you have imprisoned yourself in order to earn a living by | doing work that brings you no joy and allows you not to be who you |
| D:4.22 | are lured away from who you are by a drive to succeed, if you fear | doing what you want to do because you might fail, if you follow |
| D:5.3 | What we are | doing now is returning the world to its true representation. As was |
| D:7.5 | and places you outside of time. In this state, no duality exists. | Doing and being are one. |
| D:7.6 | of the self in form. “Right” action comes from the unity in which | doing and being are one, or in other words from the state in which |
| D:8.2 | or studied to take advantage of your natural ability and in | doing so may have found a continued ability to learn faster or |
| D:8.8 | all of what you needed to learn was put forth. What we are now | doing is discussing what was taught from the realm of |
| D:12.5 | Now you may not “think” that you have been | doing this, yet few of you would argue that you have been simply |
| D:Day4.19 | that was taught to them—but to live in a new world and, by so | doing, to demonstrate a new way. |
| D:Day4.33 | a different kind of focus upon breathing as a form of meditation. In | doing so, they let the natural serve the natural. Some might “go |
| D:Day4.33 | and become one with it. Others might become the observer and in so | doing remove themselves from the body entirely. |
| D:Day6.4 | the similarity between the creation of art and the work we are | doing here, we will return to this example. We have spoken of |
| D:Day6.23 | certainty. Even learning is accelerated by hands-on activities, by | doing what one has previously only learned. |
| D:Day6.27 | those who, along with us, work toward its accomplishment. In | doing so you are not creating new special relationships but the true |
| D:Day6.29 | paradox. You have been told to do only what you can feel peaceful | doing, to do only what allows you to be yourself, and yet here are |
| D:Day7.10 | now and beginning to find manifestation through the sharing we are | doing here. |
| D:Day8.17 | to acceptance of yourself—in the present, as you are—for only by | doing so will you come to full acceptance of who you are and be able |
| D:Day9.20 | predetermined ideal state, we will not succeed in the work we are | doing here together. For if you believe this, you will not accept |
| D:Day9.31 | Thus you can see that a key step in | doing this is the debunking of the myth of an ideal self. An ideal |
| D:Day10.12 | the time of learning, it is often more difficult to become adept in | doing something in a way different than you have done it before than |
| D:Day10.31 | took a stand for the powerless and called them to power. I am still | doing so. Not because any of you are powerless but because you do not |
| D:Day14.11 | All, all you are | doing here is accepting your relationship to the unexplainable. |
| D:Day15.15 | You are here to make one another known and in so | doing to know oneness. It will be less difficult to know this voice |
| D:Day18.11 | with the Christ-consciousness that abides within you. One way of | doing this is through individuation and becoming known. One way of |
| D:Day18.11 | doing this is through individuation and becoming known. One way of | doing this is incarnation through relationship in which the |
| D:Day19.10 | a pattern of what can be imagined being made real, not through | doing, but through the creative act of incarnating in union with |
| D:Day19.13 | through unity and imagination, create the new by means other than | doing, open a way previously unknown, and as all forerunners do, |
| D:Day24.4 | To struggle against your nature is what you have spent a lifetime | doing. Stop. If you allow your potential to be released, your true |
| D:Day27.6 | of being through the experience of life. You have already been | doing this. You are, in fact, becoming well-practiced. |
| D:Day36.12 | being. Is this not how you have seen yourself? As a simple being | doing your best to live the life you’ve been given? All the choices |
| D:Day37.22 | of a God you can feel close to, appeal to, thank and praise. But | doing so can also be confusing if it leads to thoughts of God as a |

| C:4.21 | and upon entering believe you leave the world’s madness outside your | door. Here you feel safe and gather those you love around you. Here |
| C:9.21 | will provide fullness only until the next is needed. Your closed | door only keeps you safe while its boundary is respected. To replace |
| C:10.32 | still resist realizing that you got more than you bargained for. A | door has been reached, a threshold crossed. What your mind still |
| C:22.20 | from the broad to the specific. For example, when you walk out your | door in the morning you might generally think, “What a lovely day.” |
| C:30.8 | is easily overlooked and rarely seen as the key that unlocks the | door to universal consciousness, being present. There is no being and |
| T3:20.6 | along with the one whom you observe, the long walk toward death’s | door. All of these actions could be called your “observance” of the |
| T3:20.16 | need ask for is a little willingness. All you need do is open the | door through which love can enter. |
| T3:22.14 | and thus to the miracle. This is the very miracle that closes the | door of duality, and seals out the world where what is, is separated |
| T4:2.11 | into space and vice versa, and yet, what one achieves but opens the | door for others and this is known to you. Even those who did not |

| C:4.21 | rest, and here you gain the strength you need to walk outside those | doors again another day. You spend your life intent upon retiring to |

| T4:12.20 | the instinct, so engrained into your singular consciousness, to let | doubt of yourself take hold of you. Even though you are abiding now |
| D:12.14 | you are not used to—thoughts that you know, beyond a shadow of a | doubt, are true or right or accurate. They may be simple thoughts |

| C:7.6 | This is the piece that screams never to that which would beat you | down. Life is seen as a constant taking away and this, you claim, |
| C:8.6 | too many feelings are going on all at once or all feeling is shut | down all at once. As with everything else in this world, you strive |
| C:9.41 | made. And at some point, when you can run the race no more, you bow | down to those who have achieved glory; they become your idols and you |

| T4:8.7 | If your reality had been like unto the reality you experience in | dreams, can you not see that you would have to learn to breathe, to |

| T4:10.3 | You may not have studied your problems, illness, your past, your | dreams, or art and music as you studied the lessons that kept you |

dual (1) |
||
| C:9.7 | The body could not help but be thus, as it was made with | dual purposes in mind. It was made to make real and then glorify a |
dualism (1) |
||
| C:P.25 | The way to overcome the | dualism that threatens even the most astute of learners is through |
dualistic (10) |
||
| C:30.7 | the simplest truth of the identity of the Self no longer lives in a | dualistic position with God, but in a monistic state with Him. The |
| T2:4.10 | a first step in our work with regard to calling is recognizing the | dualistic nature of your thoughts and feelings. A second step is |
| T3:2.5 | the self and denigrate the self. These beliefs have shaped your | dualistic view of the world and all that exists with you within it. |
| T3:21.18 | identity. This will cause your existence to seem to have more of a | dualistic nature for a short time while you carry observance forward |
| T3:22.12 | will be. Linking the words creative and tension is caused by the | dualistic world in which you have lived, a world wherein a lag time |
| T3:22.13 | place it in a separate category, a category that only exists in the | dualistic world of illusion where here and now is separate from what |
| D:7.10 | who once could love spirit or mind, mind or body—because of the | dualistic nature associated with them—now can love all of your |
| D:Day27.8 | it will become a trusted ability and, through practice, lose its | dualistic seeming nature and become as intrinsic to who you are as is |
| D:Day27.8 | as intrinsic to who you are as is breathing. In this same way, the | dualistic seeming nature of all of life will be revealed to only seem |
| D:Day27.9 | for the biggest revelations yet. All that is now seen as | dualistic in nature can be experienced as different levels of |
duality (19) |
||
| C:19.13 | our reliance on the heart. Thought, as you know it, is an aspect of | duality. It cannot be otherwise in your separated state. You must |
| C:23.24 | will only cause an increase in feelings generated by experiences of | duality. While you hold conflicting beliefs within you, you will be |
| T3:2.3 | from and independent of God. Once this assumption was accepted, the | duality of your existence became paramount, became the only means you |
| T3:22.14 | to the miracle. This is the very miracle that closes the door of | duality, and seals out the world where what is, is separated from |
| T3:22.15 | any kind. The creative tension existed not only as a product of the | duality of time, but also as a product of distrust. It was a tension |
| D:3.5 | could never do. You have it within your ability to mend the rift of | duality, a state that was necessary for the learning of the separated |
| D:3.5 | you to your Self. In the same way, the mending of the rift of | duality will return the world to its Self. The mending of the rift of |
| D:3.5 | will return the world to its Self. The mending of the rift of | duality was accomplished in you when you joined mind and heart and |
| D:3.6 | Duality and contrast are synonymous. In the time of the Holy Spirit, | |
| D:3.10 | of these ideas have in common a quality of oneness. Oneness replaces | duality or contrast. You will be seeking now for replacements for |
| D:7.5 | of unity and places you outside of time. In this state, no | duality exists. Doing and being are one. |
| D:Day15.24 | to the practice of realizing and being able to accept a certain | duality. Without necessarily realizing it, your consciousness has |
| D:Day16.16 | The expelled feelings that seemed to cause this | duality still exist in consciousness. Once these expelled feelings |
| D:Day17.10 | full-scale interaction with the world, demonstrating the myth of | duality, the death of form, the resurrection of spirit. The way of |
| D:Day18.7 | what you are now called to do. Whether you demonstrate the myth of | duality or the truth of union, you are demonstrating the same thing. |
| D:Day29.1 | This is where we begin to really lose sight of concepts of | duality—where they cease to be real for us. Wholeness and |
| D:Day29.1 | to participate in two levels of experience simultaneously and that | duality is really just a matter of different levels of experience. If |
| D:Day29.3 | you in accomplishing the final joining, the joining that will end | duality and return you to wholeness—to who you truly are—in the |
| A.41 | Divinity, is the dialogue of which we speak. It may seem to suggest | duality but it suggests relationship. The idea of unity and |
due (18) |
||
| C:P.9 | are among the creations of God cannot be disputed. Thus all glory is | due you. All glory is yours, and your efforts to protect it from the |
| C:3.10 | to believe you are the effect and not the cause. This is partially | due to your concept of the mind. What you conceive it to be, it will |
| C:7.15 | It is the ransom that you insist be paid, the homage you claim is | due, that without which you will withhold what you have. And you are |
| C:9.48 | for the selfsame love that all are in search of. Judgment is not | due them, for all here are abusers—starting with their own selves. |
| C:11.1 | against union and your lack of desire for instruction. This is | due to your confusion about your source. All of your fierce |
| C:17.9 | is given. This willingness is what you do not offer. Yet this is | due to your lack of understanding about the nature of creation, and |
| C:19.17 | only one of anything exists it is highly prized. God is thus “God” | due, at least in part, to what you view as His singularity. You view |
| C:26.9 | Your mind can just not accept that happiness as well as meaning is | due you through no effort of your own. Scenes of your life play |
| T1:4.27 | in Miracles told you that awe is the providence of God and not | due miracles or any other thing or being. I bring up this point to |
| T1:7.2 | suffering rather than abolishing suffering. This acceptance is | due to the belief that spirit has chosen a form, and more accurately |
| T3:5.3 | has led to a loss of self. You have been emptied by a loss of self | due to illness or addiction, depression, or even physical exhaustion. |
| T3:8.12 | Could suffering really have gone on for countless ages simply | due to your inability to birth the idea of an end to suffering? |
| T3:16.15 | heaven on earth, you can lay aside any fears that others will suffer | due to the changes your new Self will create. As you live with |
| T3:19.8 | the love that is received following suffering, or that may arrive | due to the reason of some affliction, may be seen as lessons learned |
| T4:6.7 | because they were unable to share Christ-consciousness directly | due to individual and collective choice. |
| T4:7.8 | it is an educated choice, an enlightened choice, a free choice | due to the learning that has already occurred, the choice will be one |
| D:17.19 | reverence. To revere is to feel awe, which, it has been stated, is | due nothing and no one but God. To move beyond desire to reverence is |
| D:Day3.9 | and have nots and to function in the insane way that it does largely | due to this discrepancy. |
duped (2) |
||
| C:12.2 | You feel a little | duped at being told love is the answer. You feel a little chastised |
| C:25.9 | integrated the most basic teaching of this Course and no longer feel | duped by life. All of your contests of will are supported by your |
during (56) |
||
| C:10.15 | believe that I was the Son of God before I was born into human form, | during the time I existed in human form, and after I rose again? This |
| C:17.6 | that it brings. Each of you has had the experience of dreaming | during the time of sleep. Some may claim they know everything there |
| C:19.12 | left to you, the apostles did not, in fact, achieve this state | during my lifetime, for they looked at me as different and looked to |
| C:22.14 | seem to imply an entry and exit point, the relationship developed | during the pass-through continues. Just as wind or water passing |
| C:24.4 | ground before accomplishment is complete. The learning that occurs | during the time of tenderness is learning from love. No lessons |
| C:25.1 | is thus our first lesson in learning how to be engaged in life | during the time of tenderness. |
| C:25.7 | the practice of allowing giving and receiving to be one. It is, | during the time of tenderness, a true practice that, like vigilance, |
| C:25.8 | is devoted, and of those for whom devotion is practiced, is useful | during the time of tenderness. It will lead to the understanding of |
| C:25.12 | confirm a continuing belief in your separated and vulnerable state. | During the time of tenderness, you will learn, through the practice |
| C:25.13 | by which to flirt with risk and danger. It is simply your reality. | During the time of tenderness you may feel vulnerable. But the time |
| C:25.20 | sign, for it means the old identity is losing hold. Be patient | during this time, and your new identity will emerge. If the urge to |
| C:25.22 | make decision-making and choices of all kinds appear to be difficult | during this time. You must realize decisions and choices are made by |
| T1:4.5 | object to you, no effect is possible from the sunset. The sun, even | during the most blazing sunset, has at times remained no more than |
| T2:4.1 | It is life beyond death as well as life before birth and life | during your time here. It is all one because it is all from the same |
| T3:11.6 | During the time I spent on earth I did not dwell in the house of | |
| T3:13.2 | or a personal self. While you may still feel a connection to God | during such times, you will not be dwelling within the peace of God. |
| T3:17.5 | the untrue can be learned, but this is exactly what has been learned | during the time of your experience in physical form. Since your true |
| T4:1.23 | obscure. Some have yearned for a return to days not long past, days | during which distinctions between right and wrong did seem to be more |
| T4:1.25 | For a short time, an overlap is occurring | during which those unable to allow themselves to become aware of the |
| T4:1.27 | Let me repeat that | during the time of the Holy Spirit, some were able to come to know |
| T4:4.9 | why this time is spoken of as the time of fullness. It is the time | during which you have within your awareness the ability to come into |
| T4:5.1 | that I was the Son of God and more than a man before my birth, | during my lifetime and after my death and resurrection, so are you. |
| T4:7.2 | consciousness of the spirit that was your intermediary. But just as | during the time of the Holy Spirit, your understanding of your Self |
| T4:7.2 | and God grew through the indirect means that were available to you, | during the time of Christ, your understanding of your Self and God |
| T4:7.2 | of the Holy Spirit the spirit was available to all as intermediary, | during the time of Christ, Christ-consciousness is available to all. |
| T4:7.3 | things will now be as close to the surface of consciousness as was, | during the time of the Holy Spirit, the understanding that man is |
| T4:12.8 | the separate state. All conditions that were intermediary in nature | during the time of learning, are, during the time of sharing, |
| T4:12.8 | that were intermediary in nature during the time of learning, are, | during the time of sharing, naturally converted to direct experiences |
| T4:12.12 | of learning was over and that it was time to move on to the next. | During the time of learning, this statement was consistent with |
| T4:12.12 | time of learning, this statement was consistent with learned wisdom. | During the new time of sharing, there is no “next phase” of learning |
| T4:12.17 | shall perish. I attempted to dislodge much of this learned wisdom | during my time on Earth and man is still puzzling over the meaning of |
| D:1.2 | of God. In going forth with the vision of unity you become as I was | during life. You “receive” and you “give” from the well of the |
| D:1.10 | floundered from this lack of identity. A person could literally die | during this time from lack of identity, lack of cause. To die to the |
| D:1.10 | not through being identity-less. The reign of the ego began | during just such a time of identity-less-ness. You cannot go on in |
| D:4.2 | not the same, you also are not different. The differences you saw | during the time of learning, differences that made you feel as if |
| D:4.11 | I am quite confident that you have either seen and learned enough | during your time as a learning being that you accept that a divine |
| D:4.18 | on why this has taken so long or on the suffering that occurred | during the time of learning. This would be like dwelling on the |
| D:6.2 | thought reversal of which we recently spoke is why I bring this up. | During your time of learning, I used a method of comparison—I |
| D:11.13 | of God. In going forth with the vision of unity you become as I was | during life. You do not think your way through life, but instead draw |
| D:14.5 | would suggest beginning this exploration with simple questions posed | during the course of your normal life. Questions such as, “What might |
| D:17.2 | The series build to a climax, to what, | during the time of evolution, might have been called evolutionary |
| D:Day2.21 | with the appearance of my form in the world, but that mainly occur | during my time of maturity. These accounts do not stress the time of |
| D:Day3.12 | that is behind all ideas of lack, an idea you so thoroughly learned | during the time of learning that letting it go, even now, still |
| D:Day4.34 | this all about? Why have we gathered together here? It is said that | during my forty days and forty nights I meditated or prayed. It is |
| D:Day7.5 | you always were supported, the idea of learning that you accepted | during the time of learning was not one of support but one of effort. |
| D:Day10.12 | perfect vehicle for the realization of the elevated Self of form. | During this transformation, we work with what is as well as with the |
| D:Day10.32 | measure called for now is the same extreme measure that I called for | during my life. It is the call to embrace your power. |
| D:Day15.24 | While you have not been asked to remove yourself from life | during this time on the mountain, you have been asked to be here and |
| D:Day22.1 | regards to channeling. Yesterday we spoke of teachers being channels | during the time of learning. It was also noted that you realize that |
| D:Day27.5 | now will carry with you to level ground because you have practiced | during our mountain top time together the ability to experience on |
| D:Day28.2 | stages of awareness, and we will speak here of those experienced | during the years of what is called adulthood, coming of age, or the |
| D:Day32.18 | been used—such as the two levels of experience you have achieved | during the days and nights of our time together, be attempts to show |
| D:Day35.20 | do so by simply being who you are being, just as you have “created” | during the time of your separation by being who you have thought |
| D:Day35.21 | that you will create in unity and relationship much as you “created” | during the separation, your creation in unity and relationship will |

| T3:7.7 | of the explosion, the representation of the true Self settled like | dust, and all the attention fell upon it. A great scrambling ensued |
| T3:8.1 | present condition and your brothers and sisters scrambling in the | dust. The work that is upon you now is that of replacing the house of |

| D:7.28 | perhaps a school or library, certain restaurants or places of civic | duty or social engagement. You may expand this small territory you |

| C:20.42 | be other than who you are. You may know that this is true or you may | dwell in fantasies, desiring what another has or some success, fame, |
| T2:1.4 | and you may find in this a somewhat peaceful resting place to | dwell in for a time. You may find that despite having learned much |
| T3:9.7 | ideas. The Israelites believed in a Promised Land but they did not | dwell in it. You are called to dwell in the Promised Land, the House |
| T3:9.7 | in a Promised Land but they did not dwell in it. You are called to | dwell in the Promised Land, the House of Truth. |
| T3:10.12 | the House of Truth. You will not need to learn a foreign language to | dwell in this new house, but you will need to learn what will at |
| T3:10.14 | of the Christ-Self that you but think you have forgotten. As you | dwell in the House of Truth, if you do not resist unlearning the ego |
| T3:11.6 | During the time I spent on earth I did not | dwell in the house of illusion but in the House of Truth. What this |
| T3:14.3 | It should be becoming clear to you by now that, although you | dwell in the house of the truth, you are capable of bringing with you |
| T3:14.5 | but think you are discontent with much of your life. As you begin to | dwell in the House of Truth and see with the eyes of love, you will |
| T4:8.4 | Let us | dwell again, for just a moment before we let this dwelling in the |
| T4:12.20 | have no cause for self-doubt because you have no cause for fear. To | dwell in fear will end your ability to dwell within the love that is |
| T4:12.20 | have no cause for fear. To dwell in fear will end your ability to | dwell within the love that is Christ-consciousness. As there is no |
| D:1.6 | this new reality and, with this acceptance, the heart is freed to | dwell in the house of the Lord, the new world, the Kingdom that has |
| D:1.10 | in. The ego is gone but the true Self has not been allowed as yet to | dwell within the personal self, thus elevating the personal self. You |
| D:1.14 | the personal self who was separate and alone. I am my Christ Self. I | dwell in unity. My identity is certain. This is the truth. I am not |
| D:1.14 | I was empty, I now am full. Where once I dwelt in darkness I now | dwell in the light. Where once I had forgotten Now I remember who I |
| D:4.18 | you came to know your Self is all that learning was for. Let us not | dwell any longer on why this has taken so long or on the suffering |
| D:4.19 | of structure here not as a thing—not as a building in which to | dwell or as a set of rules or instructions to follow in order to |
| D:7.28 | home; or you 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 |
| D:11.13 | you something of the nature of who you are if you but let this idea | dwell within you and take up residence in your heart. We are the |
| D:Day4.50 | of anger. You are called to accept and not look back, not to | dwell in any of the states through which you arrive at acceptance, |
| D:Day4.50 | you are still depressed. When you hesitate you have not accepted but | dwell with the cause of your hesitation. When you accept you move on. |

| C:6.19 | everything and still be what it is: home to God’s beloved son and | dwelling place of God Himself? It is because God is not separate from |
| C:18.6 | of a fall, as a curse, as a punishment from God, or as your home, a | dwelling place that keeps you separate, then you can begin to see it |
| T3:6.6 | and bitterness itself behind. Bring bitterness no longer to the | dwelling place of Christ and we will seal the place of its entrance |
| T3:10.13 | your Spanish to be forgotten. However, if you were to return to a | dwelling where those within it spoke only Spanish, soon your |
| T3:10.16 | of the body as well. While your human form remains, you will be | dwelling among those in human form. While the house of illusion still |
| T3:11.3 | words House of Truth represent an awareness of a new reality, a new | dwelling place. |
| T3:11.4 | as used in the House of Truth does not represent a structure but a | dwelling place. The word house as used in the house of illusion does |
| T3:11.4 | personal self from all that it would fear. The House of Truth is the | dwelling place of those who no longer live in fear and thus have no |
| T3:11.15 | some time, be striving to remain aware even that you have changed | dwelling places. There is a reason for this time of varying degrees |
| T3:13.2 | still feel a connection to God during such times, you will not be | dwelling within the peace of God. Your Self and God will be but |
