C:6.16	all that you would look upon, as well as every situation you would	face.
C:8.6	with love. Harsh words that enter through your ears can cause your	face to redden and your heart to beat with a heaviness you label
C:9.23	Is this not your way of solving all the problems that you	face? You see what you do not want and try to replace it with its
C:9.43	talent that can be used, how lucky you think you are. A beautiful	face and a fit body can be traded for so much. It is no secret that
C:12.24	it started out to be? What we call Father is but creation’s heavenly	face, a personification of what cannot truly be personified. You find

C:12.9	will show your Self to you. You have one brother who wears but many	faces in your perception of who he is, and while you know him not you

C:4.20	love apart from what you call the real world, from that which is, in	fact, the sum total of what you have made. The world you struggle so
C:6.3	can be. All your illusions were created in order to obscure this	fact of your existence because you would rather it not be so. Only

T3:18.8	It will seem at first as if you are asked to deny the	facts that you see before you in order to observe something other

D:12.16	Many of you may, as well, have experienced the	fading of your certainty about this truth over time. It may have been
D:12.16	simple doubt that arose within your thinking, but regardless of this	fading of your certainty, you still carry within you the moment of
fail (34)
C:P.19	yourself, against great odds? This is why good intentions so often	fail to come to be at all, and why, when every effort has been made,
C:1.9	and learning of the truth as well. The only way that you can	fail to learn the truth is to demand to learn it on your own. For on
C:2.21	that cause and effect are one. What you want to learn you cannot	fail to learn.
C:3.8	Love is. Never changing, symbolizing only itself, how can it	fail to be everything or to contain all meaning? No form can
C:4.10	when love has failed because it does not recognize that love cannot	fail.
C:4.11	and sisters are what have caused you to believe that love can	fail, be lost, withdrawn, or turned to hate. Your false perception of
C:5.22	You thus have made of life a test, believing that you can pass or	fail through your own effort. Yet the more you struggle to do so on
C:5.25	A trick this is indeed, for what has once failed to work will surely	fail again. Stop now and give up what you think you want.
C:6.22	The world cannot	fail to disappoint you, for your conception of it is based upon

C:10.3	I would have you learn. What God would have me teach, you cannot	fail to learn, but neither can you learn of it in parts. The thought
C:10.8	is needed is your continuing willingness. All that can cause you to	fail is giving up. I give you these examples that will make you say,
C:10.28	allowing room for discouragement. This is not a test and you cannot	fail. You are merely playing. Play at observing yourself from above.
C:18.7	perception changes and a thing is seen as what it is, then it cannot	fail to accomplish what it was created to accomplish.
C:31.13	devoted to nothing. This is why so many attempts at understanding	fail. Trying to come to understanding with a split mind is
C:32.4	the rift between your mind and heart. Be true to love and you cannot	fail to be true to your Self.
T1:3.11	is greater. You think of this as a test and one you can pass or	fail. And what’s more, not only would your passing of this test
T1:4.13	difference? Can a father not be guided by responsibility and still	fail to give love? Can a dancer not struggle mightily to perfect her
T3:3.3	and being surprised neither by what seems to work nor what seems to	fail.
T3:3.6	have seen it to be needed. What this means is that you continue to	fail to recognize your need to replace judgment with forgiveness when
T3:3.9	see the call of this Course as a call to goodness, you will surely	fail.
T3:8.8	you could relieve the world of suffering you would, but to try and	fail is too heartbreaking. Why should you not be bitter when you and
T3:13.11	that all of your ideas are to be based on love, you will not	fail to birth ideas of consequence.

D:1.5	by me, and that in union with me you cannot fail. You cannot	fail to be prepared, for you are already accomplished. What will it
D:4.22	to succeed, if you fear doing what you want to do because you might	fail, if you follow another’s path and seek not your own, then you

D:Day2.8	Part of this feeling arises from the erroneous idea that you can	fail, even here. These are the temptations that confront those who
D:Day4.49	coming to acceptance again and again until you are ready. You cannot	fail but can only delay. For some the time of delay has passed. For

C:3.19	What pain has your heart endured that it has	failed to treasure for its source? Its source is love, and what
C:4.10	that love has brought. It dwells on those occasions when love has	failed because it does not recognize that love cannot fail.
C:4.14	sense. To be in love is to be vulnerable, for once common sense has	failed to keep you acting as expected, you might forget to guard your
C:5.25	A trick this is indeed, for what has once	failed to work will surely fail again. Stop now and give up what you
C:6.13	never do you feel more in need of help than when all your plans have	failed and giving up becomes an alternative more attractive than
C:7.1	“I had that idea,” you lament when another succeeds where you have	failed. “I could have been where that person is if not for the
C:11.4	what love is all about is as ridiculous as feeling as if you have	failed to learn what love is. Neither can happen. And your perception
C:12.3	would return to cynicism and to believing you have already tried and	failed. For all of you believe that you have tried this idea called
C:14.11	in relationships that were once “everything” to you and have since	failed you. This can be a memory of any relationship, and each of you
C:14.12	than before. How could this be said of love? And how could it have	failed you so? And how, if it were real—as it surely felt as if it
C:18.6	perfect means to fulfill that need was established. You have simply	failed to see it as such.
C:18.23	is only a learning device. But you have not recognized this and have	failed to learn that all you experience as painful is the result of
C:23.29	You might ask, how do you learn what you have	failed to learn previously? What are the lessons? What is the
T3:15.5	is but an act and that nothing has really changed. A student who	failed to learn the prior year, while eager and confident in being

T3:3.5	claimed to be at the expense of another or to have come in spite of	failings most severe. While society would seem to have done so much

C:3.1	It does not do anything. It does not strive. It neither succeeds nor	fails. It is neither alive nor dead. And thus it always was and

C:P.22	Another	failure to accomplish lies at the other end of the spectrum, with a
C:1.14	seen not as desirable, but as a sort of abdication, a loss through	failure to engage. Although you are well aware you will not win the
C:2.21	will not do what it was given you to do. Do not believe in your	failure or the ego’s success. All you have learned is still with you
C:6.14	to give up what has been for what could be. For giving up is seen as	failure, and here is what you fear the most. To not succeed at life
C:6.14	is what you fear the most. To not succeed at life would indeed be a	failure if it were possible for it to be so. Yet even this
C:6.14	Yet even this possibility you would cling to, for with no chance of	failure is no chance of success, or so you reason. The contrast that
C:6.15	has not. Those who live with war seek peace. Those who live with	failure seek success. Put another way, both are saying this: you seek
C:10.3	because by retaining part you retain all. This will lead to seeming	failure to learn what I would have you learn. What God would have me
C:10.6	exists. Yet your separated self would cite all evidence of its	failure to be other than separate and be quick to point out to you
C:10.25	this experiment. Whether you term yourself successful or a hopeless	failure at conducting this experiment, you will realize anew that
C:11.4	not try to shut them out. Realize that the ideas of both success and	failure are detrimental here. To feel you have achieved success in
C:12.3	that it is not the answer at all. What is your evidence? Your own	failure to be happy and the unhappiness of the world you see.
T1:3.11	passing of this test require you to contemplate your power, but your	failure would require you to contemplate your lack of it. If you

T1:8.10	prerequisite to creation is proof of your memory’s tenacity and the	failure of illusion to completely rid you of what you know.
T3:3.9	a diet would be “good” for her, the diet is often rejected because	failure is deemed a certainty. While you continue to see the call of
T3:10.3	for anything. Although many a child has been blamed for his or her	failure to learn, blame of yourself is as uncalled for as is blaming
T3:15.5	in the current year, will continue to be plagued by memories of	failure. The alcoholic can approach each day with faith while keeping
T3:15.6	with someone who has failed at offered new beginnings becomes a	failure for all involved. Each sets their own criteria for success or
T3:15.6	for all involved. Each sets their own criteria for success or	failure and their own timing for the accomplishment of the same. Some

C:12.16	These words,	Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, like the word love, are but symbols

C:12.19	in it, it would not change who that person was, or who his	father was, or the nature of the family he was born into. All that
C:12.21	The	Father did not prevent the idea of separation from taking place, and
C:12.24	that is truly real within it. The son could not create unlike the	Father who created everything by extension of Himself. Neither the
C:12.24	of Himself. Neither the Father’s extension, nor the Son’s, lessened	Father or Son in any way. Replace the word Father with the word

C:20.32	of your God-given authority via your free will. When I beseeched my	Father, saying, “They know not what they do,” I was expressing the

C:9.25	proof as well that a life of fear is warranted. How could you not	fear for the safety of a home as fragile as the body? How could you

C:9.38	out of different aspects of yourself protects your assets. You	fear “putting all your eggs in one basket.” You seek to balance the

C:9.49	not created for separation but for union? To begin to let go of your	fear of joining, and as you do let go of use as well?
C:10.14	A similar	fear strikes your heart when you consider giving up your belief in
C:10.22	The separated self is so ensconced in	fear that the known fears of its existence seem preferable to the
C:10.22	of existence. That an option could be chosen that leaves no room for	fear at all does not occur to it, for the absence of fear is
C:10.22	no room for fear at all does not occur to it, for the absence of	fear is something it has never known.
C:10.23	If the body is the surface aspect of your existence and	fear lies beneath the surface, see the advantage of this exercise:
C:10.31	begin to feel the effects of the experiment you will also encounter	fear, especially if you take the game too seriously. There will be
C:11.4	exercises to a simple few that will stay with you when all hurrying,	fear of failing, and earnest attempts at trying hard have long been
C:11.15	of heart, or a willingness but to, for a little while, withdraw your	fear and your protection from it. But what this willingness really
C:11.18	you seek. In having chosen separation over unity, you but chose	fear over love. When you let go of fear and invite unity to return,
C:11.18	over unity, you but chose fear over love. When you let go of	fear and invite unity to return, you but send out an invitation to

C:14.15	makes perfect sense to you because the foundation of your world is	fear. Were the foundation of your world love, everything that you
C:14.15	desire to keep things for yourself stems from something other than	fear. You might call this desire pride or security, or even accept
C:14.15	security, or even accept that it is vanity, before you would call it	fear. But fear is what it is.
C:14.15	or even accept that it is vanity, before you would call it fear. But	fear is what it is.
C:14.16	Only	fear breeds the feelings of lack that stand with it, the cornerstone

C:14.20	afraid of losing love, and even speak of it and try to alleviate the	fear with official commitments, pledges and promises made. Others may

C:14.22	Loss of love comes from only one source. Call it	fear or call it separation but it is still the same. For in your
C:14.24	you have ascribed to anything proceeds from the foundation of	fear that built your world, each purpose is as senseless and as
C:14.28	of union have still done so when you have loved freely and without	fear. In this state your memory returns to you of who you are, and

C:16.8	A forgiven world is a world whose foundation has changed from	fear to love. Only from this world can your special function be

C:16.10	own apart from what your mind would bid it do, and this is why you	fear it even while you yearn for it. This is what the split mind
C:16.21	While you want those you have given power to protect you, you also	fear them, and they in turn fear the powerless who might take away
C:16.21	given power to protect you, you also fear them, and they in turn	fear the powerless who might take away their power or rise up against
C:16.25	This	fear but stems from what you have used your power for. You know your

C:17.3	Coming to know what was previously unknown to you can remove the	fear, if you will let it.

C:17.15	and while you do not see this your thoughts remain based on	fear and fear thus remains your foundation. For judgment is but the
C:17.15	and while you do not see this your thoughts remain based on fear and	fear thus remains your foundation. For judgment is but the belief

C:20.32	I was expressing the nature of my brothers and sisters as caused by	fear. To accept your power and your God-given authority is to know
C:20.32	power and your God-given authority is to know what you do. Let the	fear be taken from this area of your thought so that you can see the

T1:4.2	Thus we must dispel, along with the illusion of	fear, the illusion of specificity. You have not been asked to request
T1:4.26	As was said within A Course of Love, all	fear is doubt about your self. Now we must expand upon this thought,
T1:4.26	Source of Love, you have, in your doubt, made of God the source of	fear. Pause a moment here and let the enormity of this confusion sink
T1:4.26	rest. Because of this confusion you have responded to Creation with	fear. Is it no wonder a new response is asked of you?
T1:4.27	the word or idea of awe has been confused with the word or idea of	fear. A Course in Miracles told you that awe is the providence of God

T1:4.27	here. This is what we will now seek to do by putting an end to	fear and ushering in, with this ending, the beginning of a time of
T1:5.1	in so many forms since then that they remain forever countless, has	fear of God remained? The only answer possible is because fear of the
T1:5.1	has fear of God remained? The only answer possible is because	fear of the Self has remained.
T1:5.2	This is a two-fold	fear that must be looked at carefully now and with all the power of
T1:5.2	now and with all the power of the art of thought. One aspect of this	fear has to do with the human experience, the other aspect with the
T1:5.3	while creation is perfect, something has gone wrong within it, this	fear in relation to the human experience is of what it was I spoke.
T1:5.3	While I can tell you suffering is illusion, you cannot still your	fear of it nor tear your eyes away from it or remove from it the

T1:6.5	of the wholehearted. Prayers such as these emanate from the state of	fear that is the reality of the separated self.
T1:6.6	To pray out of	fear is not to pray at all, because such prayer chooses not the union
T1:6.6	chooses not the union that is the prerequisite. To pray out of	fear is to ask from an unreal state of lack for what is seen as
T1:7.2	in relation to good, peace in relation to chaos, love in relation to	fear. This belief exists in the in-between, where on the one hand

T3:12.8	experiences ensued. Some of these experiences were the result of	fear, some the result of love. The choice to express who you are in
T3:12.8	to express who you are in physical terms was not a choice made of	fear but made of love. A physical self is not inconsistent with the
T3:12.9	in relationship and believed itself to be separate and alone. In its	fear, it made an ego-self which, because it sprang from fear, was not

T3:13.4	system is simple to learn. What is of love is truth. What is of	fear is illusion. The temptation is to see love where it is not and
T3:13.4	The temptation is to see love where it is not and to not see	fear where it is. But your ability to distinguish between love and

T3:13.10	have accepted this new idea. Choose an act that will cause you no	fear to begin with. For instance, you might tell yourself something
T3:13.12	ideas have suggested. You must birth the idea of having no reason to	fear these consequences, no matter what they may be. You must, in
T3:14.1	system of the truth. The thought system of the ego was based on	fear. In this time of translation from one thought system to the
T3:14.1	and yet significant change is the change from the foundation of	fear, the basis of the ego thought system, to a foundation of love,
T3:14.1	the basis of the thought system of truth. While the foundation of	fear, like the ego, will have left you now, a pattern of behaving
T3:14.1	a deterrent to new ideas and to action. As long as these patterns of	fear remain as deterrents to action, you will not experience the
T3:14.5	behind patterns of behavior based on the old thought system of	fear. Despite the foundation of fear upon which your old thought

T3:14.8	It is only your old uncertainty that will make you	fear the matters of choice that lie before you. But this choice is
T3:14.8	but let go the old, and with it the patterns of behavior caused by	fear, the new will reveal to you all that you would keep and all that
T3:14.9	see all of the choices that throughout your life were caused by	fear and how little consequence they had in truth. These fearful
T3:16.4	that you are more content and happy, more peaceful and free of	fear than you have ever been. While your life may not have changed in
T3:16.12	but only gain within the laws of love, you are being told to have no	fear. Fear of loss is a great temptation of the human experience. If
T3:16.12	gain within the laws of love, you are being told to have no fear.	Fear of loss is a great temptation of the human experience. If it

T3:16.12	find it difficult to live by the thought system of the truth. This	fear relates very strongly to your ideas of change and as such is the
T3:16.12	to your new beginning. These temptations relate to everything you	fear to do because of the consequences your actions might bring.
T3:16.16	that was used to hold together the house of illusion was only your	fear.
T3:19.1	You must not	fear the changes that will occur within your physical form as it
T3:19.1	of the truth rather than the thought system of illusion. You will	fear these changes less if you realize that all that has come of love
T3:19.1	all that has come of love will be kept and that all that has come of	fear will fall away. You have no need to fear that the end of the
T3:19.1	that all that has come of fear will fall away. You have no need to	fear that the end of the special relationship will separate you from
T3:19.1	will separate you from your loved ones. You have no need to	fear that the joys you have shared with others will be no more. You
T3:19.1	have shared with others will be no more. You have no more need to	fear the loss of physical joys than you have to fear the loss of

T3:19.5	acting out cause harm to other bodies, is the cause for blame and	fear of the body. So too is it with actions linked with survival
T3:19.7	I will mention sexual union specifically here to put behind you any	fear that you may have that an end to sexual union may be called for.
T3:19.8	distinction that need be made: what comes of love and what comes of	fear. All expressions of love are of maximal benefit to everyone.
T3:19.8	not see that all that are not expressions of love are expressions of	fear, I assure you this is the case. Thus any behavior, including
T3:19.8	any behavior, including sexual behavior that is not of love, is of	fear. All that comes of fear is nothing. What this means is that
T3:19.8	sexual behavior that is not of love, is of fear. All that comes of	fear is nothing. What this means is that cause and effect are not
T3:19.8	means is that cause and effect are not influenced by what comes of	fear. You may still think that suffering and “bad” behavior have had

T4:1.14	a likely answer and one to assuage your guilt and uncertainty, your	fear of believing in yourself and in this time as the time to end all

T4:1.22	It is what has caused you to finally be ready to still your fear, a	fear that once prevented the direct and observable learning that now
T4:2.4	the state of the forgotten self, could not know God because of their	fear. I revealed a God of Love and the Holy Spirit provided for
T4:2.29	yourself into believing that you see love where there is cause for	fear. You must remember that you are now called to see without
T4:2.29	aware that you can only see in one of two ways—with love or	fear.
T4:3.4	intent can be simply stated as the displacement of love with	fear. It is as simple as that. Yet the way in which each of you have
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
T4:3.5	of the original intent was so complete that each life has begun with	fear and proceeded from this beginning continually reacting to fear.
T4:3.5	with fear and proceeded from this beginning continually reacting to	fear. While the original intent remained within you and caused you to
T4:3.5	you and caused you to attempt to express a Self of love despite your	fear, fear has thwarted your every effort and caused the very effort
T4:3.5	caused you to attempt to express a Self of love despite your fear,	fear has thwarted your every effort and caused the very effort that
T4:3.5	effort and caused the very effort that has continued the cycle of	fear. To have to try to be who you are and to express who you are is
T4:3.5	result of the displacement of the nature of love with the nature of	fear. What we now are about is reversing this displacement and
T4:3.6	forever unable to return to your natural state of being. The	fear that was birthed along with the erroneously inherited idea that
T4:3.6	beyond it, including God, weighed and balanced against the idea of	fear.
T4:3.7	as we reverse this set of circumstances, and replace the world of	fear with a world of love, there can be no more weighing of love
T4:3.7	with a world of love, there can be no more weighing of love against	fear. God did not create fear and will not be judged by it. All
T4:3.7	can be no more weighing of love against fear. God did not create	fear and will not be judged by it. All judgment is the cause of fear

T4:3.7	could not know God because you judged God from within the nature of	fear, believing it to be your natural state.
T4:3.12	cannot exist in a form unnatural to love. A form whose nature is	fear cannot house the creation of love.

T4:7.5	This is why all	fear, including the fear of death, needs to be removed from you
T4:7.5	This is why all fear, including the	fear of death, needs to be removed from you despite the radical
T4:7.5	of life-everlasting. You cannot sustain Christ-consciousness while	fear remains in you, just as you cannot sustain Christ-consciousness
T4:7.5	nature of Christ, it is not in the nature of the Christ-Self to know	fear or judgment. What we are speaking of is abiding in your natural
T4:7.5	is abiding in your natural state. Your natural state is one free of	fear and judgment. This is all that makes up the difference between
T4:7.5	not accept the truth of your identity or the reality of love without	fear, it existed in a reality of fear and judgment, and bound heart
T4:7.5	or the reality of love without fear, it existed in a reality of	fear and judgment, and bound heart and body to this reality. Your
T4:8.9	saw and knew to be consistent with the nature of man, even while the	fear and struggle that this impatience generated was inconsistent
T4:12.18	not the idea of struggle take hold in the new. Let not the idea of	fear take hold in the new. Let not the idea of judgment take hold in
T4:12.20	yourself. You must constantly remember that doubt about yourself is	fear, and reject the instinct, so engrained into your singular
T4:12.20	You 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
T4:12.20	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
T4:12.26	Realize this without	fear, for I am with you. This is akin to being stranded in a foreign
T4:12.34	behind of the old, a willingness that included the leaving behind of	fear and judgment and a separate will, was necessary to begin
T4:12.35	known to us is that it will be a future of love, a future without	fear, a future with unlimited freedom. For what more could we ask?
D:3.6	strong, right and wrong. You learned from the contrast of love and	fear, sickness and health, life and death. In this time of Christ,
D:3.6	accept goodness and deny evil or even that you accept love and deny	fear. How can this be?
D:4.6	systems that developed when shape and form was given to what you	fear and what you believe will protect you.
D:4.7	deterrent. The thought of time in prison fills the mind with	fear. And yet those who are imprisoned often become so acclimated to

D:4.26	to you to accept that your release is possible, to desire it without	fear, to call it into being.
D:5.20	As you can see, you are now approaching another thought reversal.	Fear not that your confusion will last, for with this thought
D:6.2	—I compared the real to the unreal, the false to the true,	fear to love—in order to point out the insanity of your perception
D:6.15	about what is is a false certainty, a learned certainty based on the	fear that caused you to order the world according to a set of facts
D:6.25	learning. And with the extended life span came extended reasons for	fear, and a physical form that you came to believe needed greater and
D:7.24	his environment will come to an abrupt and painful end. Some even	fear an evolutionary setback, and see any threat against civilization
D:7.25	These scenarios of	fear we leave behind as we abandon ideas of evolution in time and

D:Day2.8	depths to which you feel you once descended that calls forth your	fear here.

D:Day3.29	if you really believe this, or if you are merely covering over your	fear of not having enough with an incessant drive to prove it is not

D:Day4.52	I have not so directly linked	fear and the time of learning before, but now you need to see their
D:Day4.52	see their connection, for if you do not, you will not realize that	fear is all that needs to be left behind. You will still think you
D:Day4.53	to move you through the layers of illusion that have disguised your	fear, to move you beyond false learning to the truth that only needs
D:Day4.53	that only needs to be accepted. If you can move forward without	fear, you can move forward. If you can move forward without fear, you
D:Day4.53	without fear, you can move forward. If you can move forward without	fear, you will move forward only with love. If you move forward only

D:Day4.54	delay. You only have to be accepting. Accepting of all that you are.	Fear is not a part of what you are, which is why it cannot remain
D:Day4.55	behind the time of wandering, seeking, learning. To leave behind	fear for the embrace of the love and safety of your true home.

D:Day13.7	The same is true of all you would	fear, such as the suffering self. A suffering self, held within the

D:Day16.10	You have no feelings that are bad.	Fear is not a feeling but a response to a feeling. Emotions are
D:Day16.10	responses. You have been told there are but two emotions, love and	fear. What this is really saying is that there are but two ways to

D:Day16.13	state of coming to know. What you would hold onto is based on	fear and expelled into solidity where you can keep your eyes upon
D:Day16.14	your responses. Consciousness thus does not include either love or	fear. This is because love is everything and fear is nothing.

D:Day16.15	up of paradise and love, to a world primarily made up of hell and	fear because as more was expelled from paradise, more was perceived
D:Day16.15	perceived as hellish or fearful. Less of love was extended. More of	fear was projected.

D:Day20.2	have realized now your relationship with the unknown and ceased to	fear it. You are, perhaps, even eager now, to move beyond the known

C:5.30	God cannot be seen in illusion nor known to those who fear him. All	fear is fear of relationships and thus fear of God. You can accept
C:6.21	to do to you? At best you see them as delusional. But what you	fear is disappointment. All that you have wished for and have not

C:9.19	you would give it, in a desperate attempt to see it not. To live in	fear is, indeed, a curse, and one that you would try to tell yourself
C:9.25	this insane idea’s validity. It is your proof as well that a life of	fear is warranted. How could you not fear for the safety of a home as
C:10.22	no room for fear at all does not occur to it, for the absence of	fear is something it has never known.
C:12.20	of separation, the external aspect of life would not exist. Just as	fear is not real although it seems to be, separation is not real

C:14.15	or even accept that it is vanity, before you would call it fear. But	fear is what it is.
C:14.28	fear. Fear, through your own choice, replaces and discards love.	Fear is always strongest when you value something that you feel may

C:2.6	You label acting from love “good” and acting out of anger “bad.” You	feel you are capable of loving acts of heroic proportions and fearful
C:2.6	of passion you call love and acts of passion you call violence. You	feel unable to control the most extreme of these actions that arise
C:4.21	believe you leave the world’s madness outside your door. Here you	feel safe and gather those you love around you. Here you share your
C:4.22	attempt to restore order to chaos, anything so that the angry ones	feel less alone with what their anger shows them. Love, they say,
C:4.22	anger shows them. Love, they say, cannot be set apart, and so they	feel love not, nor see it either. Yet they too recognize love for

C:8.6	to surface at a time, for feelings that you can control. And yet you	feel controlled by your feelings, emotions that seem to have a life
C:8.16	truth. If your body and what lies within it are not who you are, you	feel as if you are left homeless. This feeling of homelessness is
C:8.17	Your “other” home is the home you	feel as if you have left and the home you feel the desire to return
C:8.17	home is the home you feel as if you have left and the home you	feel the desire to return to. Yet it is where you are, and you could

C:8.21	of many, a tiny peon of little significance. On other days you will	feel quite superior, the ultimate achievement of the world and all
C:8.21	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 home and heaven
C:8.28	and yet can experience each day so differently that one day you	feel happy and one day you feel sad, one day you feel hope and one
C:8.28	each day so differently 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

C:9.23	to clarify the predicament in which you have placed yourself. You	feel lacking and so you want. You want and want and want. You truly
C:9.35	As long as you do not want to be forgiven you will not	feel the gentle touch of forgiveness upon you and your world. While
C:9.39	contentment and a sense of belonging. This is what will cause you to	feel as if your time here has not been in vain. You know that
C:10.1	First let us consider what it is the body would use. Although you	feel slave to it and under the weight of its control, who is the you
C:10.1	the hope of all healing. While the body seems to tell you what you	feel and bid you act in accordance with its feelings, how can this be
C:10.2	the thought of bodies joined in union closer than the union that you	feel with the body you call your own is indeed ridiculous. Joining
C:10.9	Be aware also of your desire for reward. As you	feel yourself becoming closer to God and your true Self, as you gain
C:10.11	you are pretending you are not a body, you can pretend you do not	feel the pain of a headache or the cold of a winter day, and this
C:10.11	or the cold of a winter day, and this pretending may even make you	feel a little less pain or a little less cold. But this attempt to
C:10.12	And to believe in something that you do not understand makes you	feel peculiar at the least and delusional at the worst. You want to
C:10.27	open sky above, of all the “others” traveling it with you. You will	feel more a part of everything rather than less, and be surprised by
C:10.30	self giving way to the expanded vision of the unified Self. As you	feel this happening, you will begin to be aware of feelings too that
C:10.31	in it despite your determination not to do so. Once you begin to	feel the effects of the experiment you will also encounter fear,
C:10.31	you will welcome back your tunnel vision with gratitude. You will	feel relieved that your feet still touch the ground and that the
C:11.3	begin in order to keep from failing one more time. Even those who	feel the power of these words within their hearts and vow to go
C:11.4	that the ideas of both success and failure are detrimental here. To	feel you have achieved success in learning what love is all about is
C:11.10	flaunt them before God, is all that makes your little separated self	feel powerful at all.
C:11.14	choice, though a lasting choice will be required before you will	feel the shift of cause and quit worrying about effect. For now what
C:11.16	to you quickly on the wings of angels, a fluttering your heart will	feel, for angels too are one with you. It may feel like loneliness
C:11.16	your heart will feel, for angels too are one with you. It may	feel like loneliness compounded for the brief instant you await its
C:11.16	loneliness compounded for the brief instant you await its coming and	feel the emptiness that has been opened for its coming.
C:12.2	You	feel a little duped at being told love is the answer. You feel a
C:12.2	You feel a little duped at being told love is the answer. You	feel a little chastised to be told you know love not. You feel a
C:12.2	You feel a little chastised to be told you know love not. You	feel a little deceived to think that love may not be limited to what
C:13.1	will never fully understand what unity means, but you will come to	feel what unity means, and this I promise you. This is what we work
C:13.3	spirit. Just let impressions come to you, and when they make you	feel like smiling know that you are feeling memory return. If, when
C:13.4	While you may desire to put what you	feel into words, this exercise is not about putting words on feelings
C:13.5	with it. While the feeling of love that washes over you from one may	feel like courage, and from another like gentleness, and while this
C:13.5	gentleness, and while this is all part of what you are encouraged to	feel, it is simply asked that you let the feelings come and with them
C:13.7	of spirit and to allow this awareness to abide within you. If you	feel resistance to attempting this exercise, remember that you
C:14.2	Is it not true that you have made an enemy of creation? Do you	feel part of it and at one with all within it? If not, you have made
C:14.10	love loves you in return, and if this attention is not provided you	feel you have cause for claiming wounds that cannot be healed and
C:14.13	could not. What makes this relationship stand out in your mind and	feel so painful in your memory of it is that it was quite real in a
C:14.13	sure of a relationship’s value to you. Anything that could make you	feel so joyous, so safe and warm and loved, could not help but hold a
C:14.13	In this you were correct. It was no illusion that caused you to	feel this way. This was not the love that passes for love in this
C:14.19	existing separately, but close enough that you can gaze upon it and	feel the benefit of its warmth because of its proximity. More than
C:14.28	love. Fear is always strongest when you value something that you	feel may be threatened. Love threatens most your specialness. Before
C:15.4	If within the small sphere of those they love they cannot be made to	feel special—and you along with them—then what is the point of
C:15.5	group, and your choices might affect your ability to make others	feel special in the way in which they have become accustomed to your
C:19.20	than ever before. To talk of going “back” will undoubtedly make you	feel impatient, but this is not a going back that will in any way
C:20.1	different from that which you have felt before. Your heart may even	feel as if it is stretching outward, straining heavenward, near to
C:20.1	its desire for union, a desire you do not understand but can surely	feel.
C:20.2	the universe, the all of all in whose embrace you literally exist.	Feel the gentleness and the love. Drink in the safety and the rest.
C:20.10	at last. With love surrounding you in arms that hold you close, you	feel the heartbeat of the world just beneath your resting head. It
C:20.23	this holiness is forgetting. Let yourself forget that you do not	feel holy and that the world does not appear to be sacred. Let your
C:20.29	cannot be contained, and it is not within your power to limit it. To	feel the holiness of the embrace is to release its power. While
C:20.41	of your Father’s perfect love for you. Look deep inside and	feel your heart’s gladness. Your construction was no mistake. You are
C:21.3	is eternity itself. It is the face of love, its texture, taste, and	feel. It is love conceptualized. It is an abstract rather than a
C:21.3	concept, even while having a seeming structure that your heart can	feel. Concepts that cannot be felt with your heart are of no use to
C:21.3	for comparisons, for there is no need to compare what your heart can	feel. When your heart can feel, you need no judgment to tell you the
C:21.3	is no need to compare what your heart can feel. When your heart can	feel, you need no judgment to tell you the difference between one
C:22.7	your daily life, where you experience those things that cause you to	feel or believe in a certain way—and it is at this point of
C:22.12	In contrast, the layered approach to intersection causes you to	feel as if external forces are bombarding you. These forces must pass
C:22.23	and have a wonderful part to play in a grand design. You will not	feel cheated by losing your separated self. You will feel free.
C:22.23	You will not feel cheated by losing your separated self. You will	feel free.
C:23.23	unlearn your beliefs. As you begin the process of unlearning you may	feel tested. You are not being tested but given opportunities for
C:23.25	keep your mind engaged and less resistant to unlearning. When you	feel resistance—and of course your mind will resist unlearning what
C:23.26	will lead to the conviction you have so long sought, you will indeed	feel tested and will try to take control of the learning situation.
C:24.1	be a time of weepiness and what you would term emotionalism. You may	feel as if everything makes you want to cry because everything will
C:24.1	you want to cry because everything will touch you, each lesson will	feel tender. Unlearning has no harshness about it. If you simply
C:25.3	You have faked confidence when you are uncertain, interest where you	feel indifference, knowledge of things about which you know nothing.
C:25.5	How can love always be present when you can undeniably	feel each and every absence of love? The problem is in the perceiver
C:25.5	problem is in the perceiver rather than the perceived. Each time you	feel a lack of love, it comes from within yourself. This lack of
C:25.5	aware that you want something, you are also becoming aware that you	feel you lack something. All feelings of lack are synonymous with
C:25.6	When you	feel a lack of love in others, you have projected your fear onto
C:25.6	your fear onto them. Only when you cease to do this will you	feel true devotion.
C:25.7	When you	feel lack of love, you feel as if the “other” gives you nothing. Yet
C:25.7	When you feel lack of love, you	feel as if the “other” gives you nothing. Yet it is your lack of
C:25.9	have integrated the most basic teaching of this Course and no longer	feel duped by life. All of your contests of will are supported by
C:25.13	It is simply your reality. During the time of tenderness you may	feel vulnerable. But the time of tenderness is a time of healing, and
C:25.13	seen disappointment as attack or hopelessness as hurt, but you do	feel these emotions as wounds. While you think you can remain
C:25.19	This is unlearning taking place. It may	feel frustrating and be tinged with anxiety, anger, confusion,
C:25.21	This will be a time of discernment. You may	feel it as a time of decision making, but the less you attempt to
C:25.22	that does not necessarily require action on your part, you will	feel some relief.
C:25.23	of discernment. You will know you have succeeded when you truly	feel as if you have “turned the question or concern over” and allowed
C:26.1	or influential friends. We have talked before of the tragedy you	feel when anyone dies young. You each have some notion of what you
C:26.6	Do you	feel beautiful and prized and worthy? Then so shall you be.
C:26.7	imaginings. You are thus caught in a double bind, living a life you	feel is devoid of meaning and letting fear keep you from seeking the
C:26.7	fear keep you from seeking the meaning you would give it. You	feel no inherent sense of purpose, no grace, no meaning beyond what
C:26.18	You may experience disappointment at these words, and	feel as if you have been waiting to be invited to a party and that
C:26.25	attempt to control what you do not believe you created, and what you	feel deprived of creating. As a being birthed by a thought of God,
C:27.10	relationship to you only exist as relationship? You think it is, and	feel yourself further diminished and lacking in identity just by
C:27.20	you are living in relationship? You will know by the certainty you	feel. If you do not feel this certainty, what can you do?
C:27.20	relationship? You will know by the certainty you feel. If you do not	feel this certainty, what can you do?
C:28.11	know and worry not of what to do. This is a difficult stage as you	feel obligated and inspired to act and yet awkward in your actions.
C:28.12	Again, as when you	feel the need to convince others of your belief, the need to give
C:31.2	to you as the idea of sharing one mind. Your thoughts, you	feel, are your own, private and sacrosanct. These highly guarded and
C:31.19	to help you remember who you are. Those things about which you	feel guilt and shame are simply the remnants of lessons unlearned.
T1:1.3	been provided within A Course of Love. That your learning does not	feel complete is not a failing of this Course or of yourself. That
T1:1.3	a failing of this Course or of yourself. That your learning does not	feel complete is the result of forgetfulness, which is the opposite
T1:2.13	to see the play of clouds among the descending rays, perhaps to	feel the warmth or chill of an evening. The whole experience might
T1:3.9	you request a small miracle and it comes true, how awful you would	feel that you had not requested a bigger miracle. You will almost
T1:3.9	feel that you had not requested a bigger miracle. You will almost	feel panic at the thought of such a choice being put before you. If
T1:4.10	Think of all you now	feel responsible for and this lesson will become more clear. While
T1:4.16	response to who you are. What might such a response sound like?	Feel like? Look like? It is a response of pure appreciation and love.
T1:4.17	you time, or seems in accord with your own views. Others of you	feel it necessary to interpret everything on your own. Without
T1:5.6	as fearful of the all of everything as of the void of nothing. You	feel as if you are headed toward “something” from somewhere but
T1:5.6	headed toward “something” from somewhere but neither here nor there	feel completely real to you. The lucky among you have made of this
T1:5.7	This in-between place is your comfort zone and, although you	feel compelled to push at its edges, this pushing simply leaves the
T1:9.15	way through, argue, manipulate, or chastise another so that you	feel better in relationship to the other in the situation or event.
T1:9.15	reaction might be one of self-pity, of making oneself or another	feel guilty, or of experiencing a sense of diminished self-esteem or
T1:9.15	a sense of diminished self-esteem or worthiness. The first will	feel like an intellectual position. The second like a feeling
T1:10.2	of extremes as a lack. You will think something is wrong. You will	feel this particularly when others around you experience extremes. A
T1:10.3	the most profound sorrow or the most all-encompassing joy, you will	feel inhuman. You will think that this cannot be where you are meant
T1:10.3	that this cannot be where you are meant to be, what you are meant to	feel. You will wonder what is wrong with you.
T1:10.7	is no reason not to take joy in observing another’s happiness or to	feel compassion at another’s suffering. But you need not partake and
T1:10.8	to God not seeing suffering. God exists with you in peace. When you	feel peace, you feel the Peace of God. There is no other peace. There
T1:10.8	suffering. God exists with you in peace. When you feel peace, you	feel the Peace of God. There is no other peace. There is no other
T2:1.8	to be viewed as a place at which you can arrive. Like peace, it may	feel like a bubble of protection, something that sets you apart from
T2:2.2	a calling is spoken of in lofty terms. Few outside of those who	feel they have a calling for something beyond their ordinary,
T2:2.9	than a division between mind and heart. Some of you would say you	feel no calling, or that you feel many. Others would cite practical
T2:2.9	and heart. Some of you would say you feel no calling, or that you	feel many. Others would cite practical reasons for doing other than
T2:2.9	Others would cite practical reasons for doing other than what they	feel called to do. All of these ideas illustrate your belief that
T2:4.11	concerning calling as you apply them to yourself. Whether you	feel that you a have a specific calling, no calling, or many
T2:4.12	but are rather asked to listen from within that peace to what you	feel called to do. This is not about the past and all those things
T2:4.14	Now you may	feel as if this Treatise has led around in a circle, bringing you
T2:4.18	not have to “wait” to hear your calling even though some of you may	feel as if you are in a time of waiting for you hear no such call.
T2:5.1	in a call to action. We have talked heretofore about a calling you	feel from within, as if you are listening to a new voice that would
T2:7.1	of dependency that you consider its opposite. To be independent, you	feel as if you must rely only on yourself. Thus the connotation of
T2:7.2	the withholding of things you deem important. This fear that you	feel in relation to others is as true of those you hold most dear to
T2:7.7	pattern of behavior will be quick to assert itself and you will	feel resentment and claim that the situation is unfair. You will be
T2:7.13	dependence. You will not accept giving and receiving as one if you	feel able only to give or as if “others” have nothing you would
T2:8.2	Remember now that there is no loss but only gain, or you will	feel threatened by what you will imagine to be loss. Remember too the
T2:9.4	of a need to a person or system or organization. You as often	feel indebted as you feel grateful for the meeting of needs. When
T2:9.4	person or system or organization. You as often feel indebted as you	feel grateful for the meeting of needs. When your life is running
T2:9.4	met, you begin to want to hang on to the relationships that you	feel met these needs because of their ability to meet them. When your
T2:9.5	you identify “having” in regards to possessions, you but continue to	feel as if you “have” needs even long after they have been met. Since
T2:9.11	As soon as you are content or self-satisfied, or, in other words,	feel your needs are met, the desire to hang on to what you have
T2:10.3	or an attempt to recall a specific event. At such times, you often	feel as if, just as the memory is about to return to you, it is
T2:10.3	has this information gone and what keeps it from you? You might	feel frustrated with your memory at such a time and even say
T2:10.18	subject matter. When life does not go as you have planned, you	feel as if your chosen path has been denied to you. You often feel a
T2:10.18	you feel as if your chosen path has been denied to you. You often	feel a sense of loss and rarely one of gain. Unless life goes the way
T2:10.18	Unless life goes the way you have intended for it to go, you do not	feel gifted or blessed even when you may have looked back often on
T2:11.15	ego is real. As long as you believe that the ego is real, you will	feel as if there are two identities that exist within you and you
T2:12.5	While you continue to	feel as if you do not understand miracles, you will be reluctant to
T2:12.14	without you, in all you are and all you are in relationship with.	Feel the embrace and the love that is this unity and know that it is
T3:8.4	before it. These beliefs hold the seeds of bitterness, the angst you	feel towards God and brothers and sisters both alive and dead.
T3:8.6	blame them for their illness? Do you not look upon all suffering and	feel bitter at your own inability to relieve it? And do you not thus
T3:10.10	You will	feel for a while as if constant certainty is impossible. This feeling
T3:11.2	Those existing within the House of Truth also	feel an awareness of Self. Without necessarily being able to put it
T3:11.2	Without necessarily being able to put it into words, they no longer	feel the statement of “I am” as a statement of the personal self or
T3:13.2	a self of human experience, or a personal self. While you may still	feel a connection to God during such times, you will not be dwelling
T3:13.10	something such as this: “I have an idea that if I sleep as long as I	feel I need to sleep in the morning, I will awake refreshed and ready
T3:14.2	or stature of some others, accept your current status and begin to	feel more peace and joy within it. If you are not well, you may cope
T3:14.2	living a simple life. If you have felt a lack of respect you may	feel that what others think of you matters not and enjoy a heightened
T3:14.2	are held but not lived. Soon these fragile states would be sure to	feel threatened by some situation or person and judgment would return
T3:14.10	is the time to let them go. If you have read the paragraph above and	feel it is fine for some others not to regret their choices but not
T3:14.10	to leave this blaming of yourself behind, no matter what it is you	feel you have need to blame yourself for. You would not be here if
T3:14.11	If these regrets and blame have to do with yourself you may not	feel as if you have the right to let them go. If you do not feel as
T3:14.11	may not feel as if you have the right to let them go. If you do not	feel as if you have the right to let them go, you are choosing to
T3:15.13	in order to return you to your Self. Despite whatever method you	feel you used to learn what you have learned, what this Course did
T3:16.4	Although you may still	feel confused and lacking in ability to do what I am asking of you, I
T3:16.4	confused and lacking in ability to do what I am asking of you, I	feel confident in also saying that you are more content and happy,
T3:16.4	has been instilled within you, a hope for the very changes that you	feel you need in order to reflect, within your daily life, the new
T3:16.10	human experience. This will relate to all situations in which you	feel you have something to gain from some “other.” Again, this will
T3:16.10	others having more than you have, or to desires that you may	feel have gone unfulfilled. While you may think that this means you
T3:19.10	will be different in many ways, none of which will lead you to	feel that you have lost anything of value to you.
T3:20.6	is the most common observance in such a circumstance. You might	feel called to tears, to words that acknowledge how “bad” the illness
T3:20.6	you would think, could not be seen as anything but “bad.” You cannot	feel anything but “sorry” for the one suffering. Yet you are always
T3:21.11	experiences of your lifetime are the things upon which you draw to	feel the certainty you feel about your personal self. You identify
T3:21.11	are the things upon which you draw to feel the certainty you	feel about your personal self. You identify yourself as male or
T3:21.15	and ideas about the world you live in and the “type” of person you	feel you have chosen to be within that world. Whether you have given
T3:22.2	leaders to amass followers, I do not mean to dissuade any of you who	feel a call to represent this Course and the teachings of this Course
T3:22.2	and the teachings of this Course with your lives and work. Those who	feel this call are surely needed. And each of you will find the
T3:22.2	of ways to share what you have learned. You will almost certainly	feel eagerness to share it and joy whenever and wherever you are able
T4:1.13	And yet, as many of you have come instinctively to	feel, something is different now. You are beginning to become excited
T4:1.23	been so clearly able to see the contrast between good and evil and	feel now as if these distinctions have become more and more obscure.
T4:2.11	man into 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
T4:2.23	that develop with acquaintances or strangers, connections that	feel real with like-minded associates for brief periods of time, but
T4:2.29	still think of observance of what is as a game of make believe and	feel that you will have to trick yourself into believing that you see
T4:3.5	You may not	feel that you have ever intended to live in fear. But the
T4:12.9	experience sharing directly. If a time arrives when you no longer	feel drawn to these modes of sharing, share anew in ever-wider
T4:12.19	sharing in unity in order to realize some bit of knowledge that you	feel is necessary before you can go on. But I ask you to try to

D:1.19	or transcriber, of this Dialogue, this Dialogue may, in truth,	feel like a dialogue, an exchange, a conversation, and wonder how
D:1.19	a conversation, and wonder how you, as a reader of these words, can	feel that same way. You can feel that same way by realizing that you
D:1.19	how you, as a reader of these words, can feel that same way. You can	feel that same way by realizing that you are, as you read these
D:1.22	teacher is available for none is needed. And yet many of you still	feel what you would describe as a need for continued learning and a
D:2.5	or engineer—and to begin to live that new identity. To continue to	feel a need to learn rather than realizing that the time of learning
D:3.21	that this is just the first step revealed and that many of you will	feel already as if you are being asked to learn again and not only
D:4.2	you saw during the time of learning, differences that made you	feel as if each being stood separate and alone, you are now called to
D:4.12	your belief. Despite the differences in what you see, think, and	feel, there is but one external divine pattern that created the
D:4.20	Do not long for its old structure or the false security you came to	feel at times within it. Do not look for a new structure with barred
D:4.22	for your newfound freedom. A hungry ex-prisoner may soon come to	feel the three meals a day provided in the prison were gifts indeed.
D:4.22	indeed. So too are the gifts many of you have desired and still	feel as if you need. If you have imprisoned yourself in order to earn
D:4.24	and received. Become the author of your own life. Live it as you	feel called to live it.
D:4.26	may find that it is attitude more so than circumstance, or you may	feel as if the walls that imprison you are so sturdy and so long
D:4.31	and sisters in Christ, I hear your protests and the reasons that you	feel must prevent you from the acceptance I call you to. Yet as you
D:8.13	surprised, however, if no shaft of light descends upon you, if you	feel as if you have taken that step and yet remain unchanged. When

D:13.5	natural to you, it will seem so foreign at times that you will	feel “blinded” by the light of knowing. You will realize that you
D:13.11	and who you know others to be. All this means is that while you may	feel unable to share or express all that comes to you from unity, and
D:13.11	share or express all that comes to you from unity, and while you may	feel unable to share or express the authority and truth you know it

D:16.9	you are being something. You are alive. You have form. You think and	feel. You have even been told that you would cease to be without the
D:16.12	thought that even though you may be done with learning, you don’t	feel quite complete, or possibly even feel as if learning has not
D:16.12	done with learning, you don’t feel quite complete, or possibly even	feel as if learning has not quite been accomplished in you. This is
D:16.14	being, and expression of unity, you are whole and complete, you	feel no lack, no uncertainty, no doubt. You are confident in what you
D:16.16	patterns of the time of learning, all of the moments in which you	feel an inability to join in union, and in which you recognize still
D:17.7	too has caused your arms to raise as if of their own accord. You	feel the power of giving and receiving as one, for this is what this
D:17.15	have now turned to your heart, instead of to your thinking, that you	feel both fulfillment and desire. But my earlier questions seemed to
D:17.19	desire has passed and been replaced by reverence. To revere is to	feel awe, which, it has been stated, is due nothing and no one but
D:Day2.8	that causes your fear of falling. It is the depths to which you	feel you once descended that calls forth your fear here.
D:Day3.6	This is the area that you call money and that I call abundance.	Feel your body’s reaction to this statement. Some of you will feel

D:Day3.7	a spiritual context for your life can change your life, make you	feel more peaceful, give you comfort of a non-physical nature. These
D:Day3.18	yet envied. This resentment and envy fills you with anger. If you	feel any anger now, pay attention to its effect on you. You can feel,
D:Day3.18	you feel any anger now, pay attention to its effect on you. You can	feel, perhaps, the strain and tension in your stomach, back and neck.

D:Day3.21	who has less might open the door for a request for what you do not	feel you have to give. To reach a position in which you feel you need
D:Day3.21	you do not feel you have to give. To reach a position in which you	feel you need to ask for money from others, even from a bank, is seen
D:Day3.26	Do not	feel dejected that you have not learned these things. They were

D:Day3.30	are not any of you, those who have money or those who have none, who	feel that your financial “health” is any more secure than the
D:Day3.31	and an eye upon the bank account? Even those of you who would	feel prepared to let it bring you joy would err in thinking that it

D:Day3.48	These words are just what you may have expected to hear, and you may	feel a return of feelings of anger here. But we have said that there
D:Day3.50	may have many good and even inspired ideas within this time. You may	feel as if you are on the right track, that through the planning out
D:Day4.3	How can you	feel as if you have a choice when the temptations of the human
D:Day4.13	exists is no more comforting than consoling words if you do not	feel you have access to this place. It is like being told that all of
D:Day4.25	still available to you, even within your religious institutions. You	feel, perhaps, that you did not try hard enough, or pay enough
D:Day4.43	you have once again become a glutton of want, when you once again	feel the lack that you would pray for? Surely this you can do, for I
D:Day4.52	of denial contrary to the denial asked of you, or because you still	feel like bargaining with God. These things are only reactions to
D:Day4.58	to the old, the attachments that cause some of you to continue to	feel sadness, anger, depression, or nostalgia for the way things

D:Day5.5	and as if it is just below the form of the physical body. Some could	feel it in their hands and others as if it comes directly from their

D:Day5.16	A “healer” for instance, might, thus,	feel her access point as being the hands and express what is gained
D:Day6.2	you know this is the focus of our time together, few, if any of you,	feel as if you have truly taken leave of the everyday world of your
D:Day6.2	taken leave of the everyday world of your “normal” existence and	feel fully present on the holy mountain. This is not a second-best
D:Day6.18	or will be changing the very fabric of your daily life. Changes you	feel called to make are not discouraged here. The point being made is
D:Day6.26	know this 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
D:Day6.26	to me and to what we do here that you do. And what’s more, you	feel the eagerness of your brothers and sisters. If you felt our goal
D:Day6.26	would elevate only a few and leave all others behind, you would not	feel this devotion. You know our task is holy and incomparable. You
D:Day6.29	this seeming paradox. You have been told to do only what you can	feel peaceful doing, to do only what allows you to be yourself, and
D:Day6.30	Do you need to	feel desire for what you do in order to do it peacefully? Do you need
D:Day7.5	of acceptance. I say this because so many of you still do not	feel supported in your daily life. You may feel supported in your
D:Day7.5	many of you still do not feel supported in your daily life. You may	feel supported in your spiritual life, in your progress toward full
D:Day7.5	self of form, but as in the discussion of abundance, you may still	feel unsupported in form. Realize now, that this makes no sense when
D:Day8.2	to remove yourself from life. All those frustrations you currently	feel have a purpose: To move you through them and beyond them—to
D:Day8.3	“normal life?” Called to accept those conditions that have made you	feel unhappy? No! You are being called to an acceptance of new
D:Day8.4	you don’t like. Then, and only then—when you have accepted how you	feel—can you respond truly. Only when you have accepted how you
D:Day8.4	feel—can you respond truly. Only when you have accepted how you	feel do you quit labeling good or bad; only then can you deal with
D:Day8.12	love, leads to acceptance of others. Knowing this aspect of how you	feel, what we are here calling your dislikes, is but a first step in
D:Day8.16	predetermine either your likes or dislikes. Being aware of how you	feel in the present moment is the only way to certainty. Thus to say
D:Day8.20	where the true Self will be more evolved, evolved enough not to	feel the anger or hurt, the bitterness or guilt that you do not like.
D:Day9.4	You who do not	feel confident in your feelings, who do not feel confident in your
D:Day9.4	You who do not feel confident in your feelings, who do not	feel confident in your ability to respond, who do not as yet feel the
D:Day9.4	do not feel confident in your ability to respond, who do not as yet	feel the freedom of the new, allow yourself now, to do so. Allow
D:Day9.6	can block the freedom of what your mind would think or heart would	feel. But take away the ability to express what the mind would think
D:Day9.6	away the ability to express what the mind would think or heart would	feel, and freedom is no more. Yet it is not an outward source that
D:Day10.14	look for reassurances and proof that you are “right” before you	feel confidence and the ability to act. To “know” before you act is
D:Day10.15	and consider our need for a distinction between the certainty you	feel from unity and the confidence you need to feel in the self of
D:Day10.15	the certainty you feel from unity and the confidence you need to	feel in the self of form. Reflect further on your idea of certainty
D:Day10.23	of this as the wisdom of an outside source, if you can hear it and	feel it and think of it as a true dialogue, a true sharing in
D:Day10.29	the many situations there are to dislike in the world? Do they not	feel for the suffering? Do they not dislike poverty? Are they not
D:Day10.39	to give and give newly now, to you. Blessed brother and sister, we	feel the same love, the same compassion, the same tenderness for each
D:Day12.6	yourself that space has replaced what was once your self of form.	Feel the love of the space that is you. All obstacles will vanish.
D:Day15.13	power even though you have been told it cannot be misused? Do you	feel unworthy and seek to keep your unworthiness hidden? Do you still
D:Day15.16	that Christ-consciousness is a form of “group think.” Never will you	feel more like an individual than when you are made known through the
D:Day15.17	dialogue is. Many resist this stage of development because they	feel they have achieved inner knowing. They may still consider
D:Day15.17	still consider themselves to be capable of growing and changing, but	feel, in a certain sense, that it is unnecessary. They have achieved
D:Day16.10	really saying is that there are but two ways to respond to what you	feel—with love or with fear. If you respond with fear you expel,
D:Day16.10	are bad. You embrace sadness, grief, anger, and all else that you	feel because these feelings are part of who you are in the present
D:Day16.11	“decision” rather than your “feeling” is only confirmed. When you	feel uneasy or uncomfortable about a situation, you determine that
D:Day16.12	When you	feel an “intuition” you respond differently than you do to unwanted

D:Day19.1	function-less and purposeless at times, while at other times, you	feel as if you are being exactly as you are meant to be.
D:Day22.6	put it into words, make it into images, tell it in a story? You will	feel as if you will burst if you cannot share the union that you
D:Day28.15	Most people	feel at least some combination of these two attitudes, but will find
D:Day32.12	Yet to believe that God is everyone can still make you	feel as if you are not God. How can this be? This can be only because
D:Day35.6	we have achieved here. You will carry it within you, and when you	feel not its power, you will be able to call it forth simply by
D:Day35.21	of having at least some role in the creation of your life. You may	feel that at times God has intervened, or that at times you have been
D:Day36.14	power—this power of being—has always been yours. The power to	feel—love, hate, anger, compassion, greed, humility, and longing—
D:Day37.16	somewhat like your relationship with a deceased relative in that you	feel a bond, a link between heaven and earth, and even some
D:Day37.18	like an individuated being, a unique being. You “feel” love and you	feel pain, and both feel quite unmistakably like “your” love and
D:Day37.18	being, a unique being. You “feel” love and you feel pain, and both	feel quite unmistakably like “your” love and “your” pain and no one
D:Day37.18	unmistakably like “your” love and “your” pain and no one else’s. You	feel like a “you.” This too is “who” you have been being, because as
D:Day37.18	“you.” This too is “who” you have been being, because as a being you	feel. But here again, you have felt only as a being in separation can
D:Day37.18	But here again, you have felt only as a being in separation can	feel. You know that despite how often someone says they “know how you
D:Day37.18	you are not them. You can join in relationship with others who	feel similarly and can find great joy in feeling “as if” someone
D:Day37.18	and can find great joy in feeling “as if” someone knows how you	feel and who you are. But you have felt doomed to never being known
D:Day37.18	felt doomed to never being known and to never really sharing how you	feel.

A.9	Now you may	feel quite compelled to share your experience of the Course with

D:Day3.8	that having a spiritual context for your life will assist you in	feeling more loved and possibly even assist you in finding some one
D:Day3.8	one to love. You may believe that this spirituality can help mend a	feeling of broken-heartedness, can cause you to extend forgiveness to

D:Day37.16	What is being said is that you are simply being. You are being a	feeling, thinking, creating, perceiving human being because this is

T2:7.17	because you question whether they are legitimate thoughts and	feelings? For some of you this answer has changed greatly over time.

T2:7.17	out of a desire to be truthful, a desire to not express thoughts and	feelings unworthy of your real Self. You may have increasingly denied
T2:7.17	of your real Self. You may have increasingly denied thoughts and	feelings you would judge as negative or bad. Or you may have, in your
T2:7.19	your way? No, but this does mean that you bring the thoughts and	feelings that arise to the place within your heart that has been

D:Day8.18	In denying your own feelings you will tend also to deny the	feelings of others. You will think that you know the real from the

D:Day8.19	true compassion sees only the truth, this does not mean it holds the	feelings of anyone—not those living in truth, or those living in
D:Day8.19	not living in the present. Distancing, or non-acceptance of your own	feelings, is not living in the present and will create an attitude
D:Day8.19	While you are prone to acceptance of that which you “like,” to those	feelings you think of as “good” feelings, you are still prone to

D:Day8.27	that you do not like will pull you from union toward separation. All	feelings of non-acceptance lead to a feeling of needing to learn “how

D:Day8.29	Remove all thinking that says that you can err in following your	feelings. This is the thinking of the old thought system, not the

D:Day9.4	You who do not feel confident in your	feelings, who do not feel confident in your ability to respond, who
D:Day9.7	is not quite true. You know that you censor your own thoughts and	feelings, accepting some and not others. You know you have repressed

D:Day10.5	are tied to your feelings and thus we will return to a discussion of	feelings in connection with the ideas of confidence, reliance, and
D:Day10.6	Confidence in your	feelings will lead to confidence in your Self. While you think it is
D:Day10.7	The	feelings that lead you to either a state of confidence or to a state
D:Day10.10	to come more as thought than as feeling, but even so, it is your	feelings about such thoughts that will often determine how you act
D:Day10.11	thought, and intuition is different than rational thought, as are	feelings of all kinds. You think of feelings either as that which
D:Day10.11	than rational thought, as are feelings of all kinds. You think of	feelings either as that which comes to you through your five senses
D:Day10.11	your five senses or as emotions, and you have not trusted in these	feelings as much as you have trusted in rational thought. This lack
D:Day10.11	of the mind you call rational. It works against you because all	feelings are capable of providing what you have called intuitive
D:Day10.12		Feelings come from the innate knowing of the self of form—in short,
D:Day10.13	of your personal self, you still hold inaccurate ideas about the	feelings of the personal self. This is because your image of the
D:Day10.13	because your image of the personal self is based on the past and the	feelings of the past. This is also because your image of the personal
D:Day10.14	Because you believe that your	feelings have misled you in the past, you now still doubt your

D:Day10.14	To “know” before you act is wise. But to think that doubting your	feelings or seeking outside assurances of what you know will lead to
D:Day10.25	let me spend my final time with you as the man Jesus talking more of	feelings.
D:Day10.26	unlikely that in your image of an ideal self you left much room for	feelings of the type you currently experience. This is why we have
D:Day10.26	things which you dislike—why we have spoken, in short, of the	feelings you would think would have no place within the ideal self or
D:Day10.29	their feeling compassion and mercy, and of their acting upon those	feelings by championing the cause of good over that of evil or of the
D:Day10.30	act as these people have, but I am calling you to acknowledge that	feelings are involved at every level of every being you can imagine.
D:Day10.30	of, not about what you think. And you are very much aware of your	feelings.
D:Day10.31	If you are being called to acknowledge these	feelings, what are you being called to do with them? You are being
D:Day10.32	to and with. But this response will not be generated without the	feelings that precede them! When speaking of gossip we used a simple
D:Day10.33	any one side over another. Turn not to your thoughts but to your	feelings and go where they lead. And everywhere they lead you,
D:Day10.37	But these issues, when removed from	feelings, still remain issues. They remain social causes,
D:Day10.38	now, even in this final address to you as the man Jesus, to speak of	feelings without addressing the grand scheme of things. I want to
D:Day10.38	I want to tell you to be embraced by love and to let all the	feelings of love flowing through you now find their expression. I
D:Day10.38	you and what you want to hear. I know you have long waited for your	feelings to be addressed in a more personal way. But please remember
D:Day10.38	that none of the approaches that have been used to “address” your	feelings in the way you might desire have worked. This will work.
D:Day12.1	Now we listen to	feelings. Now we listen to feelings and understand what they have to
D:Day12.1	Now we listen to feelings. Now we listen to	feelings and understand what they have to say to us. Now we listen
D:Day12.1	of the heart. Now we recognize the thoughts that would censor our	feelings, calling them selfish, uncaring, or judgmental. We examine.
D:Day12.1	We examine. And we realize it is our thoughts and not our	feelings that are selfish, uncaring, or judgmental. We realize this
D:Day12.2	enclosed, surrounded, taken up, by consciousness. It is your	feelings that now will be the sense organs of this spaciousness. Not
D:Day12.2	feelings that now will be the sense organs of this spaciousness. Not	feelings of sight or sound, smell or touch, but feelings of love of
D:Day12.2	spaciousness. Not feelings of sight or sound, smell or touch, but	feelings of love of Self. Feelings of love of Self are now what hold
D:Day12.2	of sight or sound, smell or touch, but feelings of love of Self.	Feelings of love of Self are now what hold open the space of the

D:Day14.2	is rejection of feelings. All that causes loneliness is rejection of	feelings. All that causes violence is rejection of feelings.

D:Day16.4	about which consciousness was not chosen. With this rejection, these	feelings became physical. What is not of consciousness is of physical
D:Day16.4	What is not of consciousness is of physical form. The rejected	feelings that became physical were made separate from the self and
D:Day16.4	natural means of functioning. Sickness is not sickness but rejected	feelings. The rejected feelings exist as separate and forgotten
D:Day16.4	Sickness is not sickness but rejected feelings. The rejected	feelings exist as separate and forgotten physical manifestations
D:Day16.4	remembered and accepted back into the spacious Self. Rejected	feelings are those for which you blame yourself. Sickness is the form
D:Day16.4	blame yourself. Sickness is the form of manifestation of rejected	feelings. These manifestations come to you to prove to you what you
D:Day16.5	Ejected	feelings are projected outside of the body. These are the unwanted
D:Day16.5	feelings are projected outside of the body. These are the unwanted	feelings that are blamed on others. These manifest in your

D:Day16.7	proof of is that your feelings, rather than your thoughts about your	feelings, reflect who you are, and that by acting on them, you will
D:Day16.7	which you discover this proof, proof of the benevolence of your	feelings and of the benevolence of the universe itself.
D:Day16.8	What happens when	feelings of loneliness or despair, anger or grief join with the
D:Day16.9	not real because they were projections rather than creations, the	feelings were real because you felt them. Had you not feared and
D:Day16.10	You have no	feelings that are bad. Fear is not a feeling but a response to a
D:Day16.10	you respond with love you remain whole. You realize that you have no	feelings that are bad. You embrace sadness, grief, anger, and all
D:Day16.10	sadness, grief, anger, and all else that you feel because these	feelings are part of who you are in the present moment. When you
D:Day16.11	can alter the situation for the better. Only when you accept that no	feelings are bad will you allow yourself to come to know what they
D:Day16.12	feel an “intuition” you respond differently than you do to unwanted	feelings that you are quick to want to “do something” about. If all

C:P.44	This time we take a direct approach, an approach that seems at	first to leave behind abstract learning and the complex mechanisms of

C:9.15	the surface aspect of your self, and if beneath that surface what is	first encountered is fear, it is from fear that all the rest
C:9.35	that you believe you have undergone, your desire to be forgiven is a	first step away from your belief that you can fix things by yourself
C:10.1		First let us consider what it is the body would use. Although you

C:10.27	a silly game at first, a trick of your imagination. You will, at	first, observe only that which you can “see”—your arms and legs,
C:10.27	will see it from behind as you follow it about its day, without, at	first even being aware that this is happening. And you will find that
C:11.1	separated from it. There are but a few reasons for this method. The	first is your attitude toward instruction, and the fact that you do
C:13.1	takes this one step further, and is merely an extension of the	first. In this exercise you will begin to realize that your brothers

C:28.10	allows your conviction to grow. Because you believe it, this is, at	first, quite true. But now it is no longer the time to rely on

T1:2.13	This response needs to at	first be seen in two parts. An example illustrates. To look at a
T1:2.13	or gaze from an office window. It might be a deathbed vision or the	first sunset of which a young child is aware. It might be a scene
T1:2.14	The sunset is a gift of God. It is what it is. This is the	first part of this example.
T1:2.17	above this lower order of experience is to receive and to give back.	First the sunset is experienced for what it is. It is acknowledged.
T1:2.19	Thus, these are the basic rules of the art of thought:	First, to experience what is and to acknowledge what is, both as a
T1:2.20	relation to a sunset, its application to all areas of life will at	first seem quite demanding. But what is elementary remains elementary
T1:3.1	The	first opportunities for the art of thought to be applied relate to

T1:4.10	responsible for and this lesson will become more clear. While your	first thoughts will automatically go to a lengthy list of those
T1:4.21	As was already stated, the	first opportunities for you to learn the art of thought will be
T1:4.21	interpretation but response. Response was what was required in the	first place and your inability to respond need not be repeated. You

T1:9.14	is that the one that is most comfortable and that is likely your	first reaction, is cognizant with your old pattern, or the pattern of
T1:9.15	One	first reaction might be to puff oneself up with pride, bolster one’s
T1:9.15	in relationship to the other in the situation or event. Another’s	first reaction might be one of self-pity, of making oneself or
T1:9.15	of experiencing a sense of diminished self-esteem or worthiness. The	first will feel like an intellectual position. The second like a
T1:9.15	position to one of feeling will most readily and quickly solve the	first. The second will be most readily and quickly overcome by a turn
T1:9.16	What “was” is being thrown out and the	first step in this is embracing what you heretofore have not

T2:10.2	is akin to another belief that has been replaced. This belief was	first expressed in A Course in Miracles by the saying resign as your
T2:10.13	Thus the union of mind and heart is, as was stated previously, the	first union, the union that must proceed all the rest. You are in a
T2:10.13	the state of union in which all that you learn is shared,	first by mind and heart, and then in unity with your brothers and

T3:10.3	The	first thing I ask you to forget is your need to find a place where
T3:10.9	The	first step in being able to forget such thoughts is in recognizing
T3:10.12	to dwell in this new house, but you will need to learn what will at	first seem to you a foreign thought system. This thought system

T3:14.14	We are writing a new	first page, a new Genesis. It begins now. It begins with the rebirth
T3:15.2	of birth and death. This is something we will return to, but	first let us look at other types of new beginnings and all that would
T3:18.8	It will seem at	first as if you are asked to deny the facts that you see before you
T3:20.4	as a learning device. This learning device had two aspects. The	first was to reveal to you your fears concerning the miracle so that

T4:2.11	someone had to be “first” to fly a plane or land on the moon, being	first implies only that there will be a second and a third. That

T4:2.11	desires to best a sporting record may feel no desire to follow the	first man into space and vice versa, and yet, what one achieves but
T4:2.11	Even those who did not desire to fly in a plane when this feat was	first accomplished have since flown in planes.
T4:2.12	to achieve their desired end, most who so achieve and become the	first to set records, discover, or invent the new, are not aware of
T4:2.22	effect of the cause of a heart and mind joined in unity. This	first joining in unity, the joining of heart and mind, joins the
T4:2.32	and the attitude of separation. It is seeing with an expectation	first and foremost of revelation. It is believing that you exist in

T4:10.10	The	first accomplishment of your learning about your Self was the return
T4:12.5	Two changes of enormous proportions are upon you. The	first is the end of learning, the ramifications of which will only

D:1.20	be one of thousands or millions who hear it? Does it matter who is	first to hear the music? This is, in truth, a dialogue between me and
D:1.21	to teach the truth. In order for the truth to be truly learned, you	first had to enter a state in which this learning could occur, a

D:3.7	Our	first action in understanding what we are called together to do is to
D:3.8	an idea for you to carry forward with you into the new. This is the	first of many ideas that were previously taught that I would like to
D:3.21	Now I realize that this is just the	first step revealed and that many of you will feel already as if you
D:4.24	Let this acceptance of your own internal authority be your	first “act” of acceptance rather than learning. Turn to this as the
D:4.29	given is available. You accept and you receive. You realize that the	first order of creation of the new is restoration of the original
D:4.30	Invite this simply by inviting what brings you joy. Invite yourself	first to this new world, but leave not your brothers and sisters
D:5.9	once again. As was said earlier, this seeing of the truth is the	first step as it is the step necessary for the restoration of divine
D:6.23	The	first example of the body we presented newly was that of the perfect
D:7.28	You might begin by imagining	first your actual, physical, home, then your neighborhood, community,
D:8.2	Imagine this	first as a place where no learning is needed. Ah, you might say now,
D:8.2	idea of no longer needing to learn has intrigued you since it was	first mentioned, and yet it seems too impossible, too “good” to be
D:8.3	ability it may represent. We concentrate on this idea as the	first parameter of the territory of your conscious awareness as you
D:8.7	will increase your comfort level, and will help establish it as the	first parameter in the territory of your conscious awareness.
D:8.12	of your Self is the doorway. Step through that doorway. Take the	first step outside of the known reality of your conscious awareness,

D:12.11	I am about to make the two main points of this discussion: The	first is that thinking, with or without the ego, is a pattern of the
D:12.11	joined in unity. These are thoughts you did not “think,” just as the	first receiver of these words received them as thoughts she did not
D:13.3	The	first is that what you will be discovering, what you will be coming
D:13.3	as you have known it thus far. These reversals will be among the	first revelations and will seem quite simple and pleasing as they
D:13.6	know that this knowing must be shared. And yet, you will not, at	first, fully realize that this sharing is not needed so much as a
D:14.11	so without. An explorer seeking a new continent to “discover”	first became aware “within” of the possibility of the discovery of
D:15.2	The	first principle of creation is that of movement. Rigor mortis, or the

D:15.9	the water that the wind first swept across and upon which the light	first descended, is an interesting omission, made by many. What were
D:16.20	these images in your mind and heart. It is a time of letting them	first cease to affect you, and then of letting them go entirely, for
D:Day2.27	This is why you	first needed to accept me. To accept me is to accept the end of
D:Day3.1	this final surrender, there are stages through which one moves. The	first is denial, the second is anger. We have already spoken of
D:Day3.5	So our	first point of discussion in the realm of anger is that no matter

D:Day3.54	not planted. But the gift of the great idea, the great talent, must	first be seen and recognized, acknowledged and accepted, before it
D:Day3.56	lead you to this belief and, finally, to this acceptance. Acceptance	first that you do not believe. And then acceptance itself.

D:Day4.41	Why is this suddenly a choice between one or the other? It is the	first choice of the new temptations, the first real choice of
D:Day4.41	one or the other? It is the first choice of the new temptations, the	first real choice of Christ-consciousness, of the time beyond

D:Day5.12	Access to unity will seem, at	first, a quite individual accomplishment, something one may have and
D:Day6.15	many reasons not to make it so. And so, abundance will have to come	first, lack of cause for worry will have to come first, an ability to

C:23.12	If	form is an extension of belief you can see why what you believe is
C:23.12	you can see why what you believe is critical to how you live with	form. We are speaking here of ways of thinking similar to those which
C:23.12	have most often begun with an alteration of beliefs regarding	form. Here we have taken an opposite approach, beginning with
C:23.12	your identity and concluding with exercises to alter your belief in	form. This is consistent with our primary focus on learning from the
C:23.13	I repeat: Belief of another kind can foster the creation of	form of another kind. A wholehearted belief in the truth about your

C:23.20	directly from the Source, while form is a by-product of spirit. Thus	form is once removed, or further away from the Source. Again working
C:23.20	further away from the Source. Again working backward, however, the	form you have created is still a step necessary in the return to the

C:23.22	The purging of old beliefs frees space for the new. It allows your	form to reflect what and who you are now in terms that coincide with

C:30.13	of love and its location is your own heart. Think now of the created	form, the body. When the heart stops beating, life is seen to be
C:30.13	over. Are you thus your heart? Or can you not see that the created	form was made in God’s own image, as was all creation. You are God’s
C:30.13	in God’s own image, as was all creation. You are God’s image given	form, as is all creation. We, all of us together, are the heartbeat

T1:4.22	on the maturity required to reinterpret previous lessons. To	form a new opinion about something gives you a feeling of
T1:7.2	This acceptance is due to the belief that spirit has chosen a	form, and more accurately put a “lesser” form in which to exist, and
T1:7.2	that spirit has chosen a form, and more accurately put a “lesser”	form in which to exist, and that that choice includes the choice to
T1:8.2	and the life.” What I was in life was the manifestation, in	form, of the Will of God. Thus too have you been. God is the giver of
T1:8.5	separation. Even though the resurrection returned not life to the	form I once occupied, it returned me to you in the form of the
T1:8.5	not life to the form I once occupied, it returned me to you in the	form of the resurrected Christ who exists in all of you, bringing
T1:8.8	the proof required, much as proof has been offered to you now in the	form of miracles. How could one rise from the dead and others not
T1:8.13	resurrected. It is through the Blessed Virgin Mary’s resurrection in	form that the new pattern of life is revealed.
T1:8.14	The new pattern of life is the ability to resurrect in	form. The ability to resurrect in life. The ability to resurrect now.
T1:8.16	male and female is but union of the parts of yourself expressed in	form and story, expressed, in other words, in a visual pattern that
T1:9.2	and the separation of male and female continues to exist only in	form.
T1:9.3	However, we are talking now, in a certain sense, of an elevation of	form. While this is actually an elevation beyond form, it must begin
T1:9.3	of an elevation of form. While this is actually an elevation beyond	form, it must begin in the reality where you think you are. In other
T1:9.3	reality where you think you are. In other words, it must begin with	form. You cannot await some changed state but must create the changed
T1:9.9	to make it known that while I would die and resurrect into a new	form, you would also; that this new form would exist within you; that
T1:9.9	die and resurrect into a new form, you would also; that this new	form would exist within you; that you would become the Body of Christ
T2:1.8	that you think in terms of place because you think in terms of	form. Thus even I have often used the idea of place as a teaching
T2:1.8	aid. But you are ready now to begin to think without the need for	form.
T2:1.9	as hoping to develop into abilities, are given a structure and	form in your thinking of them. A desire to paint, in your thoughts
T2:1.9	scenes of things and places, or in other words, of the external, of	form.
T2:1.10	Thinking without	form is a harbinger of unity. Form is a product of the separation.
T2:1.10	Thinking without form is a harbinger of unity.	Form is a product of the separation. Thought “forms” are the product
T2:3.2	There would be no need for	form if there had been no desire for expression. Life is the desire
T2:5.1	you, as in a call to be a minister, nor that it will come in but one	form, as in a call to action. We have talked heretofore about a
T2:5.3	The call that comes in the	form of an announcement is the call that carries with it no
T2:5.3	you that it is time to act. This might be considered the highest	form of call, the call from the already accomplished to the already
T2:5.5	Calls that seem to come in the	form of demands are often calls that come to you from within the

T2:5.6	that appears in the form of a sign and the call that comes in the	form of a demand, are about specifics in a way that the call that
T2:5.7	exists in relationship. Thus, all the calls that come to you in the	form of signs or demands will be calls that assist you in integrating
T2:6.8	Christ in you even while you continue to grow and change. Physical	form and action of all kinds are but expressions of what already
T2:6.10	in the present, in the here and now, so that you exist—even within	form—as the only Son of God, the Christ, the word made flesh.
T2:8.3	first seem selfish, it will soon be revealed to be the most sincere	form of relationship. Relationship based on anything other than who
T2:8.4	to act on this knowing. These are calls to truth and but take the	form of honesty for a brief time as the truth of who you are is
T2:8.6	of who you are has not changed and you are as you were created.	Form and behavior are, however, subject to change, as are your
T2:9.13	drive that has become instinctual to you. As a being existing in	form, you have honed certain instincts over millennia, such as the
T2:9.13	such as the instinct to survive, in order to carry on in physical	form.
T2:11.4	will, in a sense, be forever with you, much as the body that is your	form will remain with you until your death. But while your perception
T2:11.4	as your identity and your home has given way to an idea of it as a	form that can be of service to you and your expression, there is no
T2:11.15	ego acting as devil and defender of evil. This is nonsense, or but a	form of the insanity that is prevalent still, even in your thinking.
T2:13.5	exist here and remain forever beyond all time and the passing of all	form. It is an attitude of praise and thankfulness that flows between
T2:13.6	in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought:” that of the elevation of	form.
T3:1.9	in which it was hidden and to be represented in truth by the	form you occupy and have previously seen as the reality of yourself.
T3:1.13	only place where such work can be done. We work with what we have, a	form fully able to represent the truth and, in so doing, we bring the
T3:2.3	to share yourself in a new way. The choice to represent your Self in	form was a choice for separation but not because separation itself
T3:2.3	you started out to achieve—that of a new way of expression in a	form that would expand awareness, through relationship, of self and
T3:2.11	to believe that you left a paradise in order to live a while in a	form that would cause you much suffering and strife, for the sole
T3:5.7	worthy of God’s son, the crucifixion would have ended life in	form and returned the sons of man to the formless. Instead, the sons
T3:8.5	only choice that has been made is that of attachment to the human	form as the self. The choice that hasn’t been made is the choice to
T3:10.16	translated into the language of the body as well. While your human	form remains, you will be dwelling among those in human form. While
T3:10.16	your human form remains, you will be dwelling among those in human	form. While the house of illusion still exists, you will continue to

T3:13.4	now, giving you the beginnings of a vision of a life in physical	form that will not include the very temptations we are beginning to
T3:13.14	To	form your own ideas is to be creative. Forming your own ideas happens
T3:13.14	action on your ideas forms a relationship between your physical	form and your Self as your physical self represents, in form, the
T3:13.14	physical form and your Self as your physical self represents, in	form, the thought or image produced within the Self. Ideas, in the
T3:15.1	with new beginnings than others. For most mature adults, some	form of new beginning has taken place or been offered. Often, those
T3:15.1	start. Deaths of loved ones and the births of new family members	form new configurations in a life. Nature begins anew each spring.
T3:15.16	these beliefs is the idea that these beliefs can be represented in	form. These beliefs can, with the help of the new thought system,
T3:16.16	the truth is all encompassing. Illusion is made of parts that do not	form real connections but that only seem to have the ability to build
T3:17.1	have already shown, to have chosen to express the Self in physical	form was a choice consistent with the laws of love. There was no need
T3:17.1	to be so, but there was a need for the Self to have an observable	form and to exist in relationship with others with observable forms.
T3:17.3	As soon as spirit took on	form, man began to exist in time because there became a need for a
T3:17.3	beginning and an ending to the chosen experience. Thus each self of	form is born into time and each self of form dies out of time. Both
T3:17.3	Thus each self of form is born into time and each self of	form dies out of time. Both birth and death have always existed as
T3:17.4	a thought system that was not needed before there was physical	form. The creation story of Adam and Eve, as well as many other
T3:17.5	what has been learned during the time of your experience in physical	form. Since your true Self could not learn the untrue, a new self,
T3:18.2	the Self expresses, was part of the original choice for physical	form. The word observance has rightly been linked with divine worship
T3:18.3	of the miracle that will allow you to exist as who you are in human	form. See what perfect sense this makes as your human form is an
T3:18.3	are in human form. See what perfect sense this makes as your human	form is an observable form. It is thus from observable form that the
T3:18.3	what perfect sense this makes as your human form is an observable	form. It is thus from observable form that the final learning will

T3:18.4	Expressing who you are in physical	form will return remembrance to the minds of those who observe your
T3:18.9	In this way, you will join the mechanisms of your physical	form to the new thought system of the truth. Your body, as has been
T3:18.9	system of the truth. Your body, as has been often said, is a neutral	form that will serve you in the manner in which you choose to have it
T3:18.10	We also now link observance and ideas. Ideas	form in the mind. You are used to thinking that what you observe
T3:19.1	You must not fear the changes that will occur within your physical	form as it begins to be guided by the thought system of the truth
T3:19.2	joy that is limited to the physical—no joy felt by the physical	form alone—the joy that comes of things physical can certainly

T3:19.4	cause and effect are one, there is no effect to be seen in physical	form without a corresponding cause birthed in the ego thought system
T3:19.9	goal is the original thought that began the experience in physical	form, the thought of expressing the Self in observable form.
T3:19.9	in physical form, the thought of expressing the Self in observable	form.
T3:19.11	temptations. Although you will now represent who you are in physical	form in a new way, you can still see that your actions of the past
T3:21.12	most materialistic among you rarely count what you have acquired in	form as part of your identity. What you have acquired that is not of
T3:21.12	form as part of your identity. What you have acquired that is not of	form, you have, however, added to the few ideas that you hold
T3:21.17	being called to accept your true identity even while you retain the	form of your personal self. As your true identity is that of a Self
T3:21.18	things about your personal self must be accepted as aspects of your	form and cease to be accepted as aspects of your identity. This will
T3:21.19	of the miracle that will allow you to exist as who you are in human	form. How, you might rightly ask, can you cease to identify yourself
T3:22.1	question in your mind and heart. While you may be beginning to	form ideas of what it means to live by the truth, these ideas may not
T3:22.17	sight of your true Self is to call your true Self into observable	form. Calling the true Self forth into observable form is the end of
T3:22.17	into observable form. Calling the true Self forth into observable	form is the end of the old and the beginning of the new.
T4:3.2	Observation is the means of seeing this binding pattern in physical	form.
T4:3.4	experience was the expression of the Self of love in observable	form. This original intent or cause formed the true nature of the
T4:3.11	is the natural means of sharing what is known in physical	form.
T4:3.12	The physical	form is not the natural or original form of the created. Vision is
T4:3.12	The physical form is not the natural or original	form of the created. Vision is the means by which the original nature
T4:3.12	the original nature of the created can newly be seen in physical	form. Once the original nature of the created becomes observable in
T4:3.12	the original nature of the created becomes observable in physical	form, physical form will surpass what it once was and become the new
T4:3.12	nature of the created becomes observable in physical form, physical	form will surpass what it once was and become the new nature of the
T4:3.12	nature of your being cannot become a being the nature of which is	form if you so choose it to be. There is a reason why the original
T4:3.12	is a reason why the original nature of your being cannot exist in a	form unnatural to love. A form whose nature is fear cannot house the
T4:3.12	nature of your being cannot exist in a form unnatural to love. A	form whose nature is fear cannot house the creation of love.
T4:3.13	beginning of time to be done with the separated state of a being of	form, and at the same time to hang on to life; not realizing that
T4:3.13	the same time to hang on to life; not realizing that what exists in	form does not have to be separate and alone; not realizing that what
T4:3.13	realizing that what lives does not have to die. That the nature of	form can change. That the nature of matter is one of change. That the
T4:3.13	That the nature of matter is one of change. That the nature, even of	form, once returned to its natural state of love, is one of unity and
T4:3.14	The idea of everlasting life in	form has seemed a curse to some, a miracle to others. Death comes as
T4:3.14	is but your choice. Your attachment to life has kept you alive in	form. Your attachment to death has kept your form subject to the
T4:3.14	has kept you alive in form. Your attachment to death has kept your	form subject to the cycle of decay and rebirth. There is another
T4:4.2	The pattern of life-everlasting is one of changing	form. It is one that is revealed on Earth by birth and death, decay
T4:4.5	This is one of the reasons that I came in the	form of the “son of God.” In the time in which I lived, the idea of
T4:4.8	Changing	form is part of the pattern of life-everlasting. The change in the
T4:4.8	form is part of the pattern of life-everlasting. The change in the	form you now occupy, the change I have spoken of as that of elevation
T4:4.12	you to everlasting consciousness even while you still abide in	form. To be cognizant or aware of everlasting consciousness while you
T4:4.12	or aware of everlasting consciousness while you still abide in	form is to be fully aware that you have life everlasting.
T4:4.14	to unity through death. Once the return to unity has occurred in	form, the decision to continue in form or to not continue in form
T4:4.14	return to unity has occurred in form, the decision to continue in	form or to not continue in form will be yours.
T4:4.14	in form, the decision to continue in form or to not continue in	form will be yours.
T4:4.15	divine and thus eternal. If you can abide in unity while in human	form, you will have no cause, save your own choice, to leave human
T4:4.15	form, you will have no cause, save your own choice, to leave human	form. To abide in unity is to abide in your natural state, a state of
T4:4.16	are mortal is to believe that you must die to the personal self of	form in order to be reborn as a true Self. This is an old way of
T4:4.18	will death serve when your true Self has joined with your physical	form? You will see it simply as the transformation it has always
T4:4.18	transformation from singular consciousness to Christ-consciousness.	Form has been but a representation of singular consciousness. As form
T4:4.18	Form has been but a representation of singular consciousness. As	form becomes a representation of Christ-consciousness, it will take
T4:4.18	my life was the example life. To sustain Christ-consciousness in	form is creation of the new. My one example life could not sustain
T4:4.18	This union will take you beyond the goal of expressing your Self in	form because this goal but reflected the desire for a temporary
T4:5.1	Life-everlasting in	form is not your only choice. As many of you believed that I was the
T4:5.2	God’s expression, God’s melody. You, and all that exist with you,	form the orchestra and chorus of creation. You might think of your
T4:5.3	The one body is one energy given many expressions in	form. The same life-force courses through all that exists in matter
T4:5.3	The same life-force courses through all that exists in matter in the	form of this energy. Awareness of this one Source of energy, and thus
T4:5.4	In order for your body to live, this one Energy had to enter your	form and exist where you think you are. This is the Energy of Love,
T4:5.4	to dematerialize and rematerialize in an inexhaustible variety of	form. But form does not contain It and is not required for Its
T4:5.4	and rematerialize in an inexhaustible variety of form. But	form does not contain It and is not required for Its existence or
T4:5.4	It and is not required for Its existence or expression. How could	form contain God? How could form contain the Energy of Creation?
T4:5.4	Its existence or expression. How could form contain God? How could	form contain the Energy of Creation?
T4:5.5	Your	form does not contain your heart, or the energy of creation, or God.
T4:5.5	does not contain your heart, or the energy of creation, or God. Your	form is but an extension of this energy, a representation of it. You
T4:5.5	and the waters of the ocean that exists in you. This energy is the	form and content of the embrace. It is within you and It surrounds
T4:5.11	make this choice now. 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
T4:5.11	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 or who you think
T4:5.11	of death you are assisted in ways not formerly possible to you in	form, to make the choice to be who you are. You are shown in ways
T4:6.3	unites us all will but continue life as it has been but in different	form. The realization of unity is the binding realization that will
T4:8.1	realize that it was not some separate “you” or some species without	form who at some point in time chose to express love in physical
T4:8.1	form who at some point in time chose to express love in physical	form, and so began this experience of human life. You are now
T4:8.5	Creation in	form had a starting point. This is the nature of everything that
T4:8.5	had a starting point. This is the nature of everything that lives in	form. It has a starting point from which it grows into its time of
T4:8.7	without any need for you to “do” anything, and then becoming a	form where expressing yourself depended upon what you could “do” with
T4:8.9	come into the time of fullness of a being able to express itself in	form, never realizing that this just delayed the learning that had to
T4:8.12	creation. Your rebellion against the constraints of your nature in	form thus became part of the pattern of creation because it was the
T4:8.13	God ever have had for wanting to express the Love that is Himself in	form, if it were not for the expansion and enrichment it would add to
T4:10.11	to fulfill the desired experience of expressing the Self of love in	form. No longer learning is the revelation that the time of
T4:10.11	accomplishment is upon you and the expression of the Self of love in	form is what you are now ready to do. Learning was what was necessary
T4:10.12	Expression of the Self of love in	form is not something that can be learned. It is something that can
T4:12.22	There has never been a sustained Christ-consciousness in	form. The Christ-consciousness that has always existed, a
T4:12.22	not a learned state, as was the singular consciousness of the human	form. It is your innate consciousness, a consciousness far too vast
T4:12.31	This is a prelude to but one	form of these dialogues. Sharing in unity is automatic. It is the
T4:12.32	of the personal self and the living of Christ-consciousness in	form are yet to be revealed and shared. This is the time that is
T4:12.33	This time is before us. Because you are a being still existing in	form, you still exist in the realm of time and space. Yet time and
T4:12.35	one body, one mind, one heart. Because it is the new future of a new	form joined in unity and relationship, the only guarantees that are
D:1.2	Self you are and the Self you hope to represent with your physical	form. I come to you today not as a personal self who is “other” than
D:1.3	as it did before. You do not “see” the new, the new Self of elevated	form or the true Self of divine union. You “see” the separated self
D:1.11	The body of Christ becomes real through this indwelling of Christ in	form.
D:1.12	release of the old and the acceptance of the new. This occurs in one	form or another in the sacraments you have known as Baptism,

D:2.15	now for the integration of your true identity into the self of	form, or the elevation of the personal self, new patterns are needed.
D:2.22	remaining question; that of how to sustain Christ-consciousness in	form.
D:3.1	that will allow for the sustainability of Christ-consciousness in	form.
D:3.8	the art of thought begun to integrate them into the elevated Self of	form. These are really not new ideas, however, but rather ideas of
D:3.8	but rather ideas of who you truly are birthed within the self of	form so that the Self and the elevated Self of form are able to work
D:3.8	within the self of form so that the Self and the elevated Self of	form are able to work with ideas birthed from the same source.
D:3.11	not senseless, however, when that shared consciousness is occupying	form.
D:3.12	and receiving is an idea, as are all ideas, that exists apart from	form. Giving and receiving are thus one within the shared
D:3.12	however, requires that this giving and receiving as one be shared in	form. Yet the elevated form, which now represents the shared
D:3.12	this giving and receiving as one be shared in form. Yet the elevated	form, which now represents the shared consciousness of the Self, is
D:3.12	and receiving as one is now the nature of the elevated Self of	form, and what we work toward through this dialogue is your full
D:3.13	Acceptance is easily achieved through willingness. Full awareness in	form of what has previously been hidden by the mists of illusion is
D:3.14	Giving and receiving as one has become one in	form as well as one in idea. What this means, simply stated once
D:3.15	What might this mean to the elevated Self of	form? Using this dialogue as an example will serve to explain. This
D:3.15	being shared. So too is it with you. You, as the elevated Self of	form, are a continual representation of what is continuously being
D:3.16	of the separated self, would not sustain Christ-consciousness in	form.
D:3.18	to convey any division between the Self and the elevated Self of	form, but to demonstrate that there is a difference in form between
D:3.18	Self of form, but to demonstrate that there is a difference in	form between the Self and the elevated Self of form. The Self was and
D:3.18	is a difference in form between the Self and the elevated Self of	form. The Self was and will always remain more than the body. The
D:3.19	difference that exists between the Self and the elevated Self of	form that makes of us creators of the new, because the elevated Self
D:3.19	that makes of us creators of the new, because the elevated Self of	form is new. The Self is eternal. Your Self of elevated form is newly
D:3.19	Self of form is new. The Self is eternal. Your Self of elevated	form is newly birthed, just as I was once newly birthed even though
D:3.19	things we will be seeing as we proceed is the difference between	form and content and the difference in the way separate forms express
D:3.21	concept of giving and receiving, and that for the elevated Self of	form it is simply a shared quality of oneness. It is not in need of
D:4.2	above the level of the organism as you become aware of unity of	form.
D:4.6	as are the actual prison systems that developed when shape and	form was given to what you fear and what you believe will protect you.
D:4.12	Divine patterns are the patterns that made your existence in	form possible as well as the patterns that have made your return to
D:5.6	When two bodies join and joy results from this joining, this is	form mimicking content—form representing what “is.” The form was
D:5.6	and joy results from this joining, this is form mimicking content—	form representing what “is.” The form was created in order to show—
D:5.6	this is form mimicking content—form representing what “is.” The	form was created in order to show—to teach—that joining is the
D:5.11	will be what is, in its representation. Simply put, this means that	form will never be all that you are, but will return to being as it
D:5.15	of the Self as God created the Self—to the living of this Self in	form. This is an acceptance that recognizes that while the Self that
D:5.15	that while the Self that God created is eternal and the self of	form as ancient as the sea and stars, the elevated Self of form is
D:5.15	self of form as ancient as the sea and stars, the elevated Self of	form is new and will create a new world.
D:5.19	being what you represent in truth. We discuss the elevation of	form. And what we have discussed thus far is the acceptance of form
D:5.19	of form. And what we have discussed thus far is the acceptance of	form as what it is. This is the new reality you have desired. To live
D:5.19	This is the new reality you have desired. To live as who you are in	form. To not wait for death’s release but to find release while still
D:5.19	wait for death’s release but to find release while still living in	form. Thus we begin with the true content of the form you occupy. We
D:5.19	still living in form. Thus we begin with the true content of the	form you occupy. We return the form you occupy to its natural state.
D:5.19	we begin with the true content of the form you occupy. We return the	form you occupy to its natural state. Only then can we proceed to
D:5.21	it is going to be possible to live as your new Self while still in	form, while still in a form that seems inconsistent with your being,
D:5.21	to live as your new Self while still in form, while still in a	form that seems inconsistent with your being, while still in a form
D:5.21	in a form that seems inconsistent with your being, while still in a	form that exists within a form, within a world that seems
D:5.21	with your being, while still in a form that exists within a	form, within a world that seems inconsistent with your being. You
D:6.2	stated and stated again. But as we enter this new time of elevated	form, these same ideas—ideas that many of you attached to form
D:6.2	elevated form, these same ideas—ideas that many of you attached to	form rather than to your perception of form—must be rejected.
D:6.2	that many of you attached to form rather than to your perception of	form—must be rejected.
D:6.4	given your choice to return to who you truly are while still in	form, continues, while the ego, of course, does not. Your belief in
D:6.4	identify more intimately with the Self you truly are, the self of	form is likely to grow more and more foreign to you and less and less
D:6.5	about the end of the time of learning. But now your body—your	form—must be seen in a new way. It is thus with new ideas about the
D:6.5	will begin the final thought reversal that will allow you to live in	form as who you truly are.
D:6.6	you see among the living, is, in fact, living. It exists as living	form. And so we begin with a distinction between what exists as
D:6.6	And so we begin with a distinction between what exists as living	form, and what exists as inanimate or non-living form. While you
D:6.6	exists as living form, and what exists as inanimate or non-living	form. While you might think this is an easily drawn distinction—and
D:6.6	as you have previously seen it, for everything that exists in	form is of the same Source. Even those things you have made you have
D:6.6	truly real, or the energy of creation, in everything that exists in	form.
D:6.22	It is what it is in terms of flesh and bone, and it is also the	form that is now serving to represent the truth of who you are. How
D:6.25	extended life span came extended reasons for fear, and a physical	form that you came to believe needed greater and greater resources to
D:6.26	you may remember that change occurs in time. Outside of time and	form your Self has always existed in the perfect harmony in which it
D:6.26	it was created. Now that your Self has joined the elevated Self of	form, you exist together both in time and outside of time. Remember,
D:6.26	both in time and outside of time. Remember, the elevated Self of	form will never be all that you are. This does not imply however,
D:6.26	there are portions of your Self missing from this new experience in	form you now enter into, but that the elevated Self of form is now
D:6.26	experience in form you now enter into, but that the elevated Self of	form is now able to join with the Self in the unity of shared
D:6.26	the unity of shared consciousness. You are whole once again and your	form will merely represent one aspect of your wholeness in the field
D:6.27	The self of	form, as form, could never truly experience the All of Everything
D:6.27	The self of form, as	form, could never truly experience the All of Everything that is the
D:6.27	in unity, the All of Everything. So these two states, the state of	form and the state of unity, are both in existence right now. In the
D:6.27	of unity, your true Self is fully aware of the elevated Self of	form and is fully participating in its experiences and feelings. The
D:6.27	participating in its experiences and feelings. The elevated Self of	form, however, being a form that still exists in time, must realize
D:6.27	and feelings. The elevated Self of form, however, being a	form that still exists in time, must realize the consciousness of the
D:6.27	the true Self in time. What this means is that the elevated Self of	form may still need “time” to come to know the changes that only
D:6.28		Form and time go together. Yet you have been told time is a
D:7.1	consciousness of unity you couldn’t know what the experience of	form would be like without entering into it, you cannot know the
D:7.1	of unity without entering into it. To “enter” into the experience of	form is something you can picture in your mind, and that you have
D:7.1	you have language to represent, because you are aware of the self of	form. To “enter” into the experience of unity is something more
D:7.3	that collapse time. This integration of levels is the integration of	form and unity. When Christ-consciousness is sustained, time will
D:7.4	Experiences of	form take place in time because experience, too, was designed for
D:7.6	Action is the bridge between	form and the formless because action is the expression of the self in
D:7.6	and the formless because action is the expression of the self in	form. “Right” action comes from the unity in which doing and being
D:7.6	is being all you are. Being all you are is what the elevated Self of	form represents.
D:7.7	time in history. Now you are called to discover how to exist in	form without being defined by this time-bound particularity.
D:7.8	That you are living	form does not require you to be defined by particularity. You can
D:7.8	is simply the nature of one aspect of what you are. The nature of	form is that it exists as matter, it occupies space and is
D:7.8	to the senses. You have previously seen this one aspect of	form as separating it from mind, heart, and spirit—those aspects
D:7.12	what you do not yet know about how to live as the elevated Self of	form.
D:7.16	you have been called to observe what is, what you are observing in	form are the representations of what is in time. Your envisioning too
D:7.17	desire, like observation and vision, is still related to the self of	form. It is a step toward full acceptance and awareness of who you
D:7.17	you are now and what this means as you become the elevated Self of	form.
D:7.18	or of unity. Time is thus what has separated the self that exists in	form from the Self that exists in union or the state of
D:7.18	—you have accepted existence as a new Self, the Self of elevated	form. You just do not yet understand what this means.
D:7.20	creation, rather than only with the time-bound field of creation of	form. As your awareness grows, you will begin to expand and express
D:7.20	to expand and express in new ways. Those ways thus now include the	form of your body without being limited to creation of, and in, form.
D:7.20	the form of your body without being limited to creation of, and in,	form. The body has thus joined creation in a non-time-bound way.
D:7.25	in time and proceed to an awareness of how the elevated Self of	form can replace the laws of evolution in time with the laws of
D:8.3	of you containing a natural ability or talent that existed in some	form prior to the time of learning. We concentrate on this idea
D:9.13	This is how you must now come to see your	form; it is that through which what already exists, what is already
D:9.13	comes or passes through by means of the expression of your	form and the interaction of your form with all you are in
D:9.13	by means of the expression of your form and the interaction of your	form with all you are in relationship with.
D:9.14	exist were able to pass through you in order to gain expression in	form; then you are beginning to see, on a small scale, the action
D:10.1	in the wider circle of unity is timeless. What comes to you in the	form of natural abilities or talents, as ideas, as imagination, as
D:10.3	of unity rather than the self of separation, the Self of elevated	form rather than the personal self.
D:10.4	the realm of time and space and involves the work and time of your	form in your form’s separate reality, is not of union but of the
D:10.5	what is and the expression of what is by the elevated Self of	form, that the new is created. What is becomes new by becoming
D:10.5	that the new is created. What is becomes new by becoming sharable in	form—or in other words, what is continues to become through the
D:10.5	becomes the goal and the accomplishment of the elevated Self of	form, the means through which the Self of union is known even in the
D:10.6	The goal and relationship of the elevated Self of	form is thus timeless, for it draws from the realm of unity and
D:11.9	we have been having about the body and the elevation of the self of	form? How might this relate to your desire to make a contribution and
D:11.14	In other words, the elevated Self of	form does not remain contained within the dot of the body but draws
D:11.15	the contribution, the unique contribution of each elevated Self of	form? The contribution becomes a contribution from the well of
D:11.15	its expression, its unique expression, through the elevated Self of	form. Why would you retain your desire to make an individual
D:11.18	the expression, the right-minded action of the elevated Self of	form, arises. Unity is the Source of these words. So is it said. So
D:12.4	While you think these words come to you through the written	form of this book, by means of your eyes and the decoding mechanism
D:12.8	what it is they have to say. You “hear” their thoughts through the	form of the spoken word. They do not then become “your” thoughts, but
D:12.12	Christ consciousness and live in the world as the elevated Self of	form.
D:13.1	especially as what you know grows beyond the realm of mind and body,	form and time.
D:13.3	be coming to know is already known to you, it will still come in the	form of a surprising discovery, a joyous discovery of the previously
D:13.5	You will realize that you know something you did not know before in	form, that it is important, monumental even; but you will be unable
D:13.11	you will, by living according to what you know to be the truth,	form the very relationships and union that will allow the truth to be
D:14.4	participate in the discovery that lies beyond the body and mind,	form and time. You will need to put into practice the suspension of
D:14.12	Becoming is all about a movement into	form or manifestation. You already are manifest in form, and so the
D:14.12	a movement into form or manifestation. You already are manifest in	form, and so the idea of becoming that has been with humankind
D:14.12	forms are complete in the physical sense of sustaining life. Your	form was birthed and you have celebrated many birth “days” since your
D:14.13	comes of unity and that extends and expresses itself through your	form, thus elevating the self of form. It is awareness, acceptance,
D:14.13	and expresses itself through your form, thus elevating the self of	form. It is awareness, acceptance, and discovery of what is beyond
D:14.13	form. It is awareness, acceptance, and discovery of what is beyond	form that allows the beginning of the transformation of what is
D:14.13	that allows the beginning of the transformation of what is beyond	form into expression in form. Awareness, acceptance, and discovery
D:14.13	of the transformation of what is beyond form into expression in	form. Awareness, acceptance, and discovery are, in short, what allow
D:14.13	form. Awareness, acceptance, and discovery are, in short, what allow	form to become the more it has so long been seeking to become.
D:14.15	This reality begins with awareness of what is beyond body and mind,	form and time. It proceeds to this awareness being accepted, adopted
D:14.15	we have spoken of, to the act of becoming the elevated Self of	form. You are thus entering the time of becoming, the time of
D:14.17	This wholeness of being is what lies beyond body and mind,	form and time. Becoming the elevated Self of form is becoming whole,
D:14.17	beyond body and mind, form and time. Becoming the elevated Self of	form is becoming whole, and will be the way in which source and cause
D:14.17	will be the way in which source and cause transform body and mind,	form and time.
D:15.3	Life and the movement of being into	form is what occurred when God “spoke” and the Word came into being.
D:15.9	made by many. What were the earth and water if they were not	form?
D:15.10	They were barren	form. Form unable to create or bear fruit. Form was simply barren
D:15.10	They were barren form.	Form unable to create or bear fruit. Form was simply barren form
D:15.10	They were barren form. Form unable to create or bear fruit.	Form was simply barren form before movement swept across it and
D:15.10	form. Form unable to create or bear fruit. Form was simply barren	form before movement swept across it and animated it with the
D:15.10	to the forms of the not yet elevated? What if the existence of	form was seen to predate the animation of that form with life and
D:15.10	if the existence of form was seen to predate the animation of that	form with life and spirit? Would this not be consistent with what we
D:15.10	this not even be consistent with spirit existing in every living	form from the beginning of time until the end of time?
D:15.11	begins and ends. Time is what began when life took on existence in	form and space. It is temporal rather than eternal. Alongside it, in
D:15.11	eternal life, not temporal life. There are no degrees of life. One	form is not more alive than another. All that lives contains the
D:15.13	when it is allowed pass-through, so too can spirit endlessly empower	form when it is allowed pass-through.
D:16.1	of wholeness that will be expressed in the elevated Self of	form.
D:16.2	or expression of that identity into the creation of wholeness in	form.
D:16.3	the perceived condition of lack. It is the belief that what animated	form with life did not remain. The belief that in the passing
D:16.3	The belief that in the passing through, a relationship did not	form. But as can be easily seen, the earth is no longer a formless
D:16.3	as can be easily seen, the earth is no longer a formless wasteland.	Form was animated with spirit and entered a state of becoming. You
D:16.7	Love is the spirit of the wind that animates all	form. Love is spirit, is God, is creation. Love is a description of
D:16.7	are all that remained in union, in eternal completion, when	form came into being.
D:16.8	extension of wholeness—into the seemingly separate identities of	form. The way of that extension was the way of the unified principles
D:16.9	from Creation, you cannot. But you can, while existing in time and	form, choose to stand apart from movement, being, and expression. You
D:16.9	you can be simply because you exist and that as long as you exist in	form you are being because you are being something. You are alive.
D:16.9	are being because you are being something. You are alive. You have	form. You think and feel. You have even been told that you would
D:16.11	Becoming is movement. Movement is given and becomes movement in	form. Being is given and becomes being in form. Expression is given
D:16.11	and becomes movement in form. Being is given and becomes being in	form. Expression is given and becomes expression in form. Since you
D:16.11	becomes being in form. Expression is given and becomes expression in	form. Since you were conceived in form, you were in movement. Since
D:16.11	is given and becomes expression in form. Since you were conceived in	form, you were in movement. Since you were conceived in form, you
D:16.11	conceived in form, you were in movement. Since you were conceived in	form, you were being. Since you were conceived in form, you were
D:16.11	were conceived in form, you were being. Since you were conceived in	form, you were expressing. It would be impossible for these
D:16.13	new you can create a new world. The new you is the elevated Self of	form who you are in the process of becoming. This time of becoming is
D:16.13	unity, and your sustainability of Christ-consciousness or unity, in	form. In your time of directly experiencing the movement, being, and
D:16.15	the time of learning and the time of being the elevated Self of	form; that times still exist in which you are not wholly present as
D:17.1	It comes in a never ending series rather than in singular	form. It is not true succession if there is a break in the chain or
D:17.3	this? Are you willing to claim it? Are you willing to claim it in	form and time?
D:17.4	Can you understand that what you claim in	form and time was always yours?
D:17.24	hero’s journey returns him home. To where he started from. In story	form, this takes place with movement. Years are spent traveling many

D:Day1.2	your prayers; although if you do not believe in your Self above a	form of truth, and if you continue to send your prayers to a god who

D:Day1.18	creation of man and woman. Adam and Eve represent your birth into	form. I represent your birth into what is beyond form. Adam and Eve

D:Day1.19	As within, so without. In each of you is Adam and Eve represented in	form. In each of you am I represented in form.

D:Day1.25	completion. It is a story whose completion cannot occur in singular	form, but as with any true inheritance only in a series, only in a
D:Day1.26	of events of creation include, thus far, the movement of being into	form and the movement of being beyond form. What will be realized
D:Day1.26	the movement of being into form and the movement of being beyond	form. What will be realized through the secret of succession is the
D:Day1.26	be realized through the secret of succession is the elevation of	form.
D:Day1.29	about the second coming of Christ and the elevation of the Self of	form.
D:Day2.1	for the final merging of the two into one Self, the elevated Self of	form.
D:Day2.21	You have accounts of my actions that begin with the appearance of my	form in the world, but that mainly occur during my time of maturity.
D:Day3.3	In the area of the body came another	form of learning about which you saw yourself as having little
D:Day3.42	place of unity is a place that does not interact with the place of	form. It is interacting with the world of form through you.
D:Day3.42	interact with the place of form. It is interacting with the world of	form through you.
D:Day3.44	state. What you are being asked to do here, is to open the self of	form to the place of unity, thus allowing this divine flow of union
D:Day3.44	thus allowing this divine flow of union into the elevated Self of	form.
D:Day3.47	believe the truth of the situation to be the reality of physical	form and of what you have or have not within the confines of that
D:Day3.47	form and of what you have or have not within the confines of that	form. This would be like still seeing the mind as the only source of
D:Day3.54	this is true. A great idea or great talent that is not brought into	form, that is not expressed, that is not shared, is no greater than a
D:Day3.54	recognized, acknowledged and accepted, before it can be brought into	form, expressed, and shared. What good would it do you to say “if I
D:Day3.60	resurrection you await. You prevent the elevation of the self of	form.
D:Day4.33	however, have applied a different kind of focus upon breathing as a	form of meditation. In doing so, they let the natural serve the
D:Day4.38	brothers and sisters, love of the natural world, of the world of	form that is, love of the idea of the new world that can be, all of
D:Day4.40	up to the portal of access to unity? Do you turn and look back at	form and matter? Or do you turn and look up where no form exists? Do
D:Day4.40	look back at form and matter? Or do you turn and look up where no	form exists? Do you believe you can choose the formless and still
D:Day4.40	choices? From where else could you so clearly see the choice between	form and the formless?
D:Day4.41	But what, you might ask, of the elevated Self of	form? Why is this suddenly a choice between one or the other? It is
D:Day4.42	think of yourself in this elevated place. You are still the self of	form despite the truth that you are literally with me in a place of
D:Day4.42	of high elevation. Is this what you choose to remain? A self of	form elevated by circumstance? A self of form on a high mountain? Or
D:Day4.42	choose to remain? A self of form elevated by circumstance? A self of	form on a high mountain? Or do you wish to carry this elevation back
D:Day4.42	back with you when you return? Do you wish to return the self of	form who once visited an altered state, this state of high elevation?
D:Day4.43	Or do you wish to go back transformed into the elevated Self of	form? Do you want to know this place of access and carry it within
D:Day4.51	You may have thought separation was the cause, but separation into	form, had it occurred within the realization of continuing
D:Day5.4	As we said yesterday, our	form of meditation, a meditation that is not a tool but a function of
D:Day5.4	feels natural to you. We give access a focal point in the realm of	form.
D:Day5.5	connection that arises from the earth and as if it is just below the	form of the physical body. Some could feel it in their hands and
D:Day5.21	to the world. This is the relationship you have with unity while in	form—a relationship of intersection and pass-through.
D:Day5.22	access to what you are given. We are speaking here of letting your	form serve union and union serve your form. This service is
D:Day5.22	speaking here of letting your form serve union and union serve your	form. This service is effortless for it is the way of creation.
D:Day6.1	unity, and your sustainability of Christ-consciousness, or unity, in	form. As was said earlier: To realize the state of becoming is to
D:Day6.1	the time of learning and the time of being the elevated Self of	form. This is what our time on this holy mountain is largely
D:Day6.16	know it. We are, after all, speaking of the elevation of the self of	form. This elevation must occur in life, in your life as it is,
D:Day7.5	your progress toward full awareness and the elevation of the self of	form, but as in the discussion of abundance, you may still feel
D:Day7.5	as in the discussion of abundance, you may still feel unsupported in	form. Realize now, that this makes no sense when our goal is the
D:Day7.5	now, that this makes no sense when our goal is the elevation of	form. If for no other reason, begin to accept this support of form
D:Day7.5	of form. If for no other reason, begin to accept this support of	form because it makes sense. It is logical. And realize further that
D:Day7.6	rather than from fear will have a major transformative effect on	form in this time of acceptance. Regeneration is a condition of the
D:Day7.10	own little world and created its own universe. The elevated Self of	form will expand into the world and create a new universe. This
D:Day7.14	the life of the Self, and will come to sustain the elevated Self of	form in a way as natural to you as breathing.
D:Day7.17	stage following the time of acceptance in which the elevated Self of	form will be created and come into full manifestation.
D:Day8.13	intolerant only of illusion and that this intolerance will take the	form of seeing only the truth rather than attempting to combat
D:Day8.17	are and be able to allow the Self of unity to merge with the self of	form, thus elevating the self of form. You will also, only in this
D:Day8.17	of unity to merge with the self of form, thus elevating the self of	form. You will also, only in this way, come to true expression of the
D:Day8.17	only in this way, come to true expression of the elevated Self of	form. Access and expression are both conditions of the present.
D:Day8.23	always that we work now to unite the Self of union with the self of	form. The self of form cannot be denied now. This is a continuation
D:Day8.23	now to unite the Self of union with the self of form. The self of	form cannot be denied now. This is a continuation of the reversal of
D:Day8.25	Non-acceptance in any	form is separating.
D:Day9.5	must precede true certainty in this time of elevation of the self of	form. The certainty that arises from unity is different from this
D:Day9.5	arises from unity is different from this confidence in the self of	form and they must be realized together for the elevation of the self
D:Day9.5	and they must be realized together for the elevation of the self of	form to take place. What good will be the certainty of unity if the
D:Day9.5	take place. What good will be the certainty of unity if the self of	form has no confidence in its ability to express it? Expression of
D:Day9.5	Expression of the certainty of unity is what the elevated Self of	form is all about. Certainty of mind and heart has been realized by
D:Day9.5	heart has been realized by many. The expression of that certainty in	form has not.

D:Day16.3	What is of	form comes and goes and is impermanent. What is of spirit, or

D:Day17.2	identity. Christ is the “I Am” of God, the expression of “I Am” in	form, the animator and the animated, the informer and the informed,

D:Day17.9	Christ-consciousness and full expression of Christ-consciousness in	form. Each did so in individual ways, ways that revealed the choices
D:Day17.10	with the world, demonstrating the myth of duality, the death of	form, the resurrection of spirit. The way of Mary represented
D:Day17.10	through relationship, demonstrating the truth of union, the birth of	form, and the ascension of the body. Both ways were necessary. Both

D:Day18.4	known by, and to, the many. It is full acceptance of the Self in a	form that can be distinguished, or individuated from the rest. It is
D:Day18.6	and divine and thus accomplished the resurrection of the eternal in	form. Your virgin state, the state unaltered by the separation, has
D:Day18.10	The new visual pattern is that of spirit resurrected in	form. It is the ascension of the body, or elevation of the self of

D:Day22.5	through which your awareness of unity passes through your self of	form. It is clear, when looked at in terms of process, that there is
D:Day24.1	many Selves as well as one Self. You are a Self with many forms. The	form you occupy contains all of your potential manifestations as the

C:31.5	your concept of what is the same and what is different. Yet, as your	forms so readily illustrate, while all bodies are the same, they are

T3:16.8	truth is a temptation of the human experience. It will come in many	forms, all of which will be related to an old pattern of

T1:9.16	is embracing what you heretofore have not embraced. You are pulling	forth sides of your selves that were previously undervalued rather
T2:4.7	within your life. Let us look now at your reaction to the idea put	forth earlier of having a calling.
T2:10.8	Just beyond your mind’s ability to call it	forth lies the truth that you and all other beings know. The access

T2:12.3	but the culmination and the integration of the beliefs we have put	forth here. The miracle I am offering you here is the service I offer
T2:12.7	a learning device, so you must come to see your own ability to call	forth intercession as a gift and treasure you are able to give in
T2:12.8	you, as a miracle-minded being, are not called upon to also call	forth the treasure that exists around you? When you call to those
T2:12.13	Let the beliefs we have set	forth become one with you so that they enable you to live and express
T2:13.1	The final call of this Treatise is, in contrast to those put	forth previously, a personal call from me to you. By now you have
T2:13.4	taking place around you, practice the beliefs that have been put	forth in this Treatise. Know that, in the time of unity, the truth
T2:13.6	journey together is just beginning as we return to the premise put	forth in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought:” that of the elevation of
T3:2.4	has been built around this system. Now, along with the beliefs put	forth in “A Treatise on Unity,” you are asked to accept a new belief
T3:7.2	is not needed for the truth. Thus you can see that the beliefs put	forth in “A Treatise on Unity” are necessary only to return you to
T3:16.6	human experience. All of these temptations relate to the beliefs set	forth in “A Treatise on Unity.”
T3:22.1	take you, for surely your life must change. The very precepts put	forth within this Course, precepts that say that the internal affects
T3:22.17	really the observation of a Self beyond the personal self. To call	forth observance is to call forth the sight of your true Self. To
T3:22.17	a Self beyond the personal self. To call forth observance is to call	forth the sight of your true Self. To call forth the sight of your
T3:22.17	observance is to call forth the sight of your true Self. To call	forth the sight of your true Self is to call your true Self into
T3:22.17	to call your true Self into observable form. Calling the true Self	forth into observable form is the end of the old and the beginning of
T3:22.18	embraces you. The new is but the truth that has always existed. Go	forth and live the truth with impatience only for the truth. Hold
D:1.2	you. In our union we bear the sameness of the Son of God. In going	forth with the vision of unity you become as I was during life. You
D:1.3	“see” such visions, you “see” the pattern of the personal self going	forth much as it did before. You do not “see” the new, the new Self

D:10.2	of learning. Notice the inability of teaching or learning to call	forth talents, ideas, imagination, inspiration, instinct, intuition,
D:10.4	to call your own. You thus must begin to realize that the bringing	forth of the accomplishment that already exists in unity is your new
D:10.6	of unity. This is an expression of the Biblical injunction to “Go	forth and multiply.” It is about increase. To be content with
D:11.13	unity. In our union we bear the sameness of the Son of God. In going	forth with the vision of unity you become as I was during life. You
D:11.13	do not think your way through life, but instead draw your knowing	forth from the well of spirit, from the shared consciousness from

D:Day1.11	from another. You may think that, as long as the power is called	forth, it matters not the name by which it is called. You may think
D:Day2.8	It is the depths to which you feel you once descended that calls	forth your fear here.

T4:2.8	I belabor this point because you literally cannot proceed to	full awareness while ideas such as more and better remain in you. As
T4:2.10	to be separate, you will not become fully aware of the new time.	Full awareness of the new is what this Treatise seeks to accomplish

D:Day4.49	I can make you aware of until you have made your choice and have	full realization of your access to unity. You will be able, of
D:Day4.51	To be called to make a new choice before	full acceptance of what is would be confusing. You who are thinking

D:16.20	letting them go, your presence is not wholly realized, you are not	fully here, not whole, not complete. You are at times who you are,

D:17.14	reach a state of full acceptance of who you are, and in that state,	fully accept that your contribution is being made, will desire still
D:Day1.3	an ascended state. Without your acceptance of who I am, you will not	fully accept who you are. Without your willingness to achieve this
D:Day2.3	that you have not as yet developed the capacity to accept this	fully. For most of you, much of what you have considered your
D:Day2.17	For many of you the crucifixion is among the reasons you hesitate to	fully accept me. It is hard for you to believe that my suffering was
D:Day3.25	What you learned is insane. But to realize the truth you must now	fully reject the untruths that you learned. You must fully reject the
D:Day3.25	you must now fully reject the untruths that you learned. You must	fully reject the ideas that taught you that you do not have enough,
D:Day4.54	which is why it cannot remain with you as the way opens for you to	fully know the Self of unity. You are about to achieve your first
D:Day5.10	and this will be done as you come to know what unity is, and so more	fully come to know your Self and love.
D:Day5.14	of union that your Self will come to wholeness and you will be	fully who you are and able to express love fully.

D:Day5.17	clones or one specific type of idealized holy person. Union is being	fully who you are and expressing fully who you are. This is the
D:Day5.17	holy person. Union is being fully who you are and expressing	fully who you are. This is the miracle, the goal, the accomplishment
D:Day5.20	to come to you to come. If you could indeed give in to this desire	fully, it would speed the transformation along quite nicely. So
D:Day5.26	relationship with unity. It is a constant exchange. When you are	fully aware of this is when full access is attained. So we will
D:Day6.2	leave of the everyday world of your “normal” existence and feel	fully present on the holy mountain. This is not a second-best
D:Day7.15	in-between time. You have always existed in unity and once this is	fully realized you will no more need access to unity than you need
D:Day7.16	When your natural state is	fully returned to you and sustained within Christ-consciousness, the
D:Day8.1	the conditions of the time of acceptance may not have cheered you	fully. Now, with the ideas of the conditions of the time of
D:Day8.10	will lead to action that is consistent with who you are when you are	fully comfortable in your acceptance of who you are. Understand,
D:Day10.15	still hold an image of me as “other than” yourself. You will never	fully rely upon your Self while you hold these images.
D:Day10.21	lost Jesus as your companion and helpmate but will only know more	fully the content of the man Jesus. As you join with
D:Day10.21	you will realize you have not lost your Self but will only know more	fully the content of your Self.
D:Day14.7	Once you	fully realize that you cannot escape, whatever remains that was
D:Day14.7	to a stop within you must pass through for the self to be the	fully invisible or spacious Self described earlier. What you once
D:Day15.1	When you	fully realize that sharing is necessary you will have entered the
D:Day15.1	is necessary you will have entered the dialogue. When you have	fully surrendered to the fact that you can’t come to know on your own
D:Day15.1	to know on your own you will have entered the dialogue. When you	fully accept that the voice of the one can be heard in the voice of
D:Day15.1	the voice of the many you will have entered the dialogue. When you	fully realize that you are in-formed by everything and everyone in
D:Day15.3	is in all things and that is the great informer. As you are more	fully able to maintain Christ-consciousness you begin the movement

D:Day17.7	the first coming—the movement of being into form. This being was	fully expressed by Jesus Christ, who represented, in form, the first
D:Day18.4	Only those who have	fully accepted who they are, are capable of being example lives.
D:Day18.5	without attachment to previous concerns, for in their renewal they	fully realize the necessity of what can be given only through
D:Day20.1	you have relied upon so that you begin to rely more and more	fully on the truth of this dialogue.
D:Day20.2	move beyond the known to the unknown. You are perhaps eager without	fully realizing that this eagerness symbolizes a true ending—an
D:Day22.7	nor sorrow, no separation or alienation. You sense that if you could	fully express this place of union, if you could abide there, if you
D:Day35.18	made. Your life as you know it is what you have made. You will only	fully realize the difference between what you have made and what you
D:Day35.19	create. The word distinction between made and create thus does not	fully do justice to the power you have always retained. But creating
D:Day35.20	does. It does not entail choice. It is a way of being. When you are	fully aware of your oneness of being and begin to create in unity and
D:Day38.10	owned and possessed by, and in, union and relationship, you have not	fully known love. To claim something as your own is simply to claim
D:Day40.10	Lest you do not	fully understand, this might be more easily grasped if we talk for

C:19.13	actually transcend thought as you know it. This transcendence is a	function of wholeheartedness.

C:27.18	that you will have power that is not of this world? Will you see the	future and the past, be cognizant of destiny and of fate? You do have
C:29.26	this unbroken chain of giving and receiving. All your worry over the	future and the past is but a worry about the return of gifts given.
C:29.26	did you not accept in the past, might you not recognize in the	future? What gift of fortune, what chance encounter, what decision
C:29.26	What should you have done that you didn’t? What might you do in the	future if not for your fear of where the direction you choose might

C:30.2	means for getting there. All learning is seen as preparation for the	future, or for some eventual outcome, rather than for your being. You
C:30.4	that relates to time. You think of present time, past time,	future time. We have spoken of these modes of keeping time as well,
C:31.15	your past, your shame, your guilt; on the other that you are your	future, your glory, your potential. You neither want to share your
T1:3.22	are they done? Do they happen all at once? Or can they be for some	future date? What about the correction of something that has already
T1:6.7	memory, which shapes the different personalities, paths, and thus	future experiences of each of you.
T1:6.8	personalities become one, the different paths become one path, the	future experiences become one. And in this oneness is peace
T2:6.5	your mind projects what you desire to accomplish onto an unknown	future time is what would seem to keep you from accomplishment. I say
T2:6.6	I am rather than I will be. I will be is a statement that presumes a	future in which you will be someone other than who you are in the
T3:1.11	the present and that the self of the present made up the self of the	future. The personal self you presented to others in the past was a
T3:1.11	another, than you did in defining a past self, a present self and a	future self. The greatest distinction of all was that between the
T3:14.12	to take place. The past is no more and neither the present nor the	future can be built upon it. This is why we have spent so much time
T3:14.13	no cause to prolong it. The past is but a starting point for the	future. Just as we talked of the consequences of blame and how you
T3:15.7	has been represented by the past. You must forget the idea that the	future cannot be different than the past.
T3:16.6	would seem to make all that we speak of here a blueprint for some	future reality. All that would keep this lag in time a constant, and
T3:20.6	to be. You look ahead, and in your mind’s eye you “observe” the	future as a repetition of the present or as a long war with little
T3:20.7	ease suffering, and you might pray that God spare this one from a	future seemingly already written, and think that is more realistic
T3:22.8	eyes closed is the observation of what is. This will relate to the	future pattern of creating that we will speak of more in the next
T4:1.13	of those who have come before you as failures? Has the seed of the	future lain dormant in the past? Could it have been activated
T4:2.19	think in terms of evangelizing or convincing, you think in terms of	future outcome rather than in terms of what already is. This type of
T4:6.4	this time of direct revelation and direct sharing, the probable	future you imagine, envision, desire, will be what you create. This

T4:10.14	unity and relationship. You can learn from the past but not from the	future. When you build upon what you can learn you build upon the
T4:10.14	upon what you can learn you build upon the past and create not the	future but an extension of the past. You who are called to leave
T4:11.1	The	future is yet to be created. This is why I stated at the onset of

T4:11.1	have been made, and many of them have been called prophecy. But the	future is yet to be created.
T4:11.2	The	future depends on you who are willing to leave learning behind and
T4:11.2	to accept your new roles as creators of the new—creators of the	future.
T4:11.5	to whom you turn, but as an equal partner in the creation of the	future through the sustainability of Christ-consciousness.
T4:12.1	my new brothers and sisters in Christ, to the creation of the	future through the sustainability of Christ-consciousness. Today we

T4:12.32	the time of creation of the future, the time of the creation of a	future not based upon the past.
T4:12.35	What will the	future hold? It is up to us dear brothers and sisters. It is up to us
T4:12.35	us creating as one body, one mind, one heart. Because it is the new	future of a new form joined in unity and relationship, the only
T4:12.35	the only guarantees that are known to us is that it will be a	future of love, a future without fear, a future with unlimited
T4:12.35	that are known to us is that it will be a future of love, a	future without fear, a future with unlimited freedom. For what more
T4:12.35	to us is that it will be a future of love, a future without fear, a	future with unlimited freedom. For what more could we ask? And what
D:3.2	not a death knell but a call to life. It is not of the past or the	future but of the eternal now. It is within you as we speak, the tone
D:3.9	ideas that will allow new patterns to emerge and the design of the	future to be created. These are the ideas that replace the learned
D:5.18	mind and the thoughts that so confuse you, the prison of past and	future and a now that isn’t changing fast enough to suit the new you
D:5.19	it to be. From this starting point only can we move forward to the	future we create together.
D:7.16	that is why so many of you think of envisioning as envisioning the	future. Envisioning is less bound to time than is observation because

D:15.1	It has not always been the same, and it will not be the same in the	future as it is now. But there are certain principles that govern

D:Day3.23	you have “enough,” you are sure it will not be enough for what the	future holds. And if you ever need evidence for this position, it is
D:Day7.20	condition of the present. Realize you may say you are certain of the	future or the past but that you cannot make it so. Thus your ability
