C:1.9 oppose miracle-mindedness. These are the thoughts that say on my own  I am everything, rather than on my own I am nothing. A true leader
C:1.9 thoughts that say on my own I am everything, rather than on my own  I am nothing. A true leader follows until she is ready to lead. She
C:2.12 not about looking upon misery and saying to yourself you see it not.  I am not an advocate of heartlessness but wholeheartedness. If you
C:3.6 well. But love did not attach itself to form and say, “This is what  I am.” How can anything have a form except in symbols? A family
C:5.7 As long as it is where I can look upon it, it is real to me and  I am safe.”
C:7.4 yourself and say of this piece, “This is what makes me uniquely who  I am.” Without this piece of yourself that you have determined to be
C:9.22 not an answer is precisely what the Bible has instructed you to do.  I am recorded as telling you to feed the hungry, to quench the thirst
C:9.22 when you do this unto others you do this to me. Do you think that  I am in need of a meal, a cup of water, a warm bed? While you are
C:10.3 There are aspects of what  I am telling you that you readily embrace and others that you do not
C:10.15  I am here to teach you once again because I was the example life. Do
C:12.1 some fancy name, you would say, “A new discovery has been found and  I am willing to believe it may be true, especially if others are also
C:16.21 away. Power is possessed by those who claim it. By those who cry  I am. For the beginning of power comes from the rejection of
C:18.2 part of a chain of bodies holding hands and encircling the globe.  I am among those whose hand you hold. All are linked, even if each
C:20.9 there is nothing you must do. Being replaces identity and you say,  I am. I am, and there is nothing outside of me. Nothing outside of
C:20.9 is nothing you must do. Being replaces identity and you say, I am.  I am, and there is nothing outside of me. Nothing outside of the
C:20.14  I am alive and you do believe this or you would not be here. Yet you
C:25.20 It will be looking for identity. It will want to say: “This is who  I am.” This is an exciting sign, for it means the old identity is
C:26.8 behind as we seek to become involved with life. I say we because  I am with you and will not leave your side. I say we because your
C:26.10 could simply come true through your acceptance of these words. But  I am prepared to make it easy for you.
T1:4.1 By asking you to request a miracle,  I am honoring who you are and inviting you into the state of mind
T1:8.1 are no different than I was. Now I call you to be no different than  I am.
T1:8.2 As a man, I suffered, died and was buried. As who  I Am, I resurrected. “I am the resurrection and the life.” What I was
T1:8.4 of it. The nature of life changed with the resurrection.  I am the resurrection and the life. So are you.
T1:8.5 my birth nor my death were consequent with the Word as the Word is  I Am, the Word is Life Eternal. My resurrection brought about the
T1:8.5 in each of you. You who have come after me are not as I was but as  I Am. Does this not make sense, even in your human terms of
T1:8.16 mother, Mary, was responsible for the incarnation of Christ in me as  I am responsible for the incarnation of Christ in you. This union of
T2:6.6 end point but a given. It is not an outcome but a certainty. It says  I am rather than I will be. I will be is a statement that presumes a
T2:10.13 wholeheartedness. You are in a state in which you are able to learn.  I am here to show you the way to the Christ in you. I began my
T2:12.1 Miracles are thoughts and  I am the corrector of false thinking. You have been made ready for
T2:12.3 the integration of the beliefs we have put forth here. The miracle  I am offering you here is the service I offer you, the precursor of
T2:13.2 Now that you have been made ready,  I am ready to return you to your Self. Now that you have been made
T2:13.3 different than the one you once perceived. I know of this world and  I am here to guide you through it. I, too, am friend to you.
T2:13.4  I am the corrector of false thinking because I lived among you as a
T3:6.5 While the untrue cannot exist with the true, what  I am calling here bitterness is all that you have forced, through
T3:11.12 If I can tell you in truth that you are no different than  I am, then you must see that you cannot begin to think of yourself as
T3:12.5 your awareness the truth of your identity. By changing our goal now,  I am assuring you that you have become aware of the truth of your
T3:14.5  I am, however, the bringer of Good News. Now I will repeat to you a
T3:16.4 you may still feel confused and lacking in ability to do what  I am asking of you, I feel confident in also saying that you are more
T3:16.4 while its limitations may seem even more frustrating than before,  I am also confident in saying that a hope has been instilled within
T3:20.10 lives. “Good” people have as much calamity befall them as do “bad.”  I am not calling you to just another version of being good or
T3:20.10 healthy, to exercises in visualization or positive thinking.  I am calling you to live by the truth and to never deny it. To see no
T3:20.10 never deny it. To see no circumstance as cause to abandon it. Yes,  I am providing you with means to help you know how to live by the
T3:21.22 to the truth of him- or herself that is seen reflected there. What  I am saying is that your differences can serve our purpose until
T3:21.22 can serve our purpose until differences are no longer seen. What  I am saying is that you can remain confident in your personal self,
T3:22.7 but a state of giving and receiving as one. Observation, as  I am speaking of it and teaching it, makes you one with what you
T4:1.6 chosen is one laden with so many false ideas about exclusivity?  I am using this word specifically because of the precedent of its use
T4:1.27 directly, and to pass on this learning through direct means. What  I am saying is that it is not impossible for those who remain unaware
T4:2.1 not predictive. I have never been and will never be predictive, for  I am Christ-consciousness. Christ-consciousness is awareness of what
T4:2.11 That I was the first to demonstrate what you can be does not mean  I am better than you. Just as in your sporting events, a “first” is
T4:4.12  I am calling you to the new. I am calling you to transform. I am
T4:4.12 I am calling you to the new.  I am calling you to transform. I am calling you to
T4:4.12 I am calling you to the new. I am calling you to transform.  I am calling you to Christ-consciousness. I am calling you to
T4:4.12 calling you to transform. I am calling you to Christ-consciousness.  I am calling you to everlasting consciousness even while you still
T4:5.11  I am calling you to make this choice now. This is not a choice
T4:8.2 that you and God are the same. That when I say “God made a choice”  I am not saying that you did not. I am saying that a choice was made
T4:8.2 when I say “God made a choice” I am not saying that you did not.  I am saying that a choice was made within the one mind, the one
T4:12.26 Realize this without fear, for  I am with you. This is akin to being stranded in a foreign land with
D:1.14  I am no longer the personal self who was separate and alone. I am my
D:1.14 I am no longer the personal self who was separate and alone.  I am my Christ Self. I dwell in unity. My identity is certain. This
D:1.14 Self. I dwell in unity. My identity is certain. This is the truth.  I am not less than I once was, but more. Where once I was empty, I
D:1.14 dwell in the light. Where once I had forgotten Now I remember who  I Am. Now I go forth To live as who I Am within the world To make
D:1.14 had forgotten Now I remember who I Am. Now I go forth To live as who  I Am within the world To make cause and effect as one, and Union with
D:3.17 This is why I will often repeat that  I am no longer your teacher. You must realize your oneness with me
D:3.22 the ideas of your brothers and sisters as much as they are of God.  I am teaching you nothing, nothing old and nothing new. I am
D:3.22 are of God. I am teaching you nothing, nothing old and nothing new.  I am reminding you of what you know as I have reminded you of your
D:4.11 of creation previously, divine design was also spoken of. Here  I am quite confident that you have either seen and learned enough
D:4.23 in the prison of the old. You have asked, and because you have asked  I am telling you, that the permission you seek must come from your
D:5.17 But while this is what awaits you,  I am merely answering the questions that remain and that occur as
D:5.17 questions that remain and that occur as this dialogue proceeds. What  I am attempting to answer now is your confusion concerning what is.
D:5.18 Yet what you think imprisons you is also what  I am addressing here. Release through death is no longer the answer.
D:6.14  I am calling all of this to mind in order to begin our discussion
D:6.14 that the sun may rise and may set, but also knows that it may not.  I am speaking of a spirit that is open to the discovery of something
D:11.3 an accurate description of what I do, or of what occurs in unity.  I am and I extend what I am. This dialogue is that extension. God’s
D:11.3 of what I do, or of what occurs in unity. I am and I extend what  I am. This dialogue is that extension. God’s idea of you extended and
D:11.13 These words give evidence of who  I am because they give evidence that I know who you are. That these
D:12.11 of the ego mind; thoughts are more descriptive of the true mind.  I am not saying that your ego is still at work because you still
D:12.11 is still at work because you still think in the same way as before.  I am about to make the two main points of this discussion: The first
D:12.12 What  I am striving to help you see, once again, is that union isn’t
D:12.12 it quietly infiltrates the dot of the self in its unguarded moments.  I am attempting to help you to become aware and comfortable with the
D:12.19 and thoughts that arise from union. Union is not other than you, as  I am not other than you. Union includes you, just as the All of
D:Day1.3 on the top of the mountain together, beginning our work together.  I am no longer your teacher, but there is a reason that you are here
D:Day1.3 to a place but to an ascended state. Without your acceptance of who  I am, you will not fully accept who you are. Without your willingness
D:Day1.5 have found a connection to eternal life, only to accept me as who  I am.
D:Day1.8 know your Self is contingent upon your ability to know me? Because  I am. This is akin to saying Love is. I am what is. I am the way, the
D:Day1.8 ability to know me? Because I am. This is akin to saying Love is.  I am what is. I am the way, the truth, and the life.
D:Day1.8 know me? Because I am. This is akin to saying Love is. I am what is.  I am the way, the truth, and the life.
D:Day1.10 This would be like saying, “If  I am an astronaut, I can reach outer space without a space craft. I
D:Day1.15 one religious tradition or another matters not. That you accept that  I am he who can lead you beyond your life of misery to new life
D:Day1.16  I am not your teacher and you are not called to follow me blindly.
D:Day1.24 I lived it and made it real for you. You must accept me because  I am the part of you that can guide you beyond what I accomplished to
D:Day1.29  I am the secret of succession, the way and the life, the beginning of
D:Day2.21 accounts of my maturity generally begin with the recognition of who  I am. This is symbolic of the idea put forth here that until you are
D:Day2.22 It was in awareness of who  I Am that my life took on meaning. It could be argued that this
D:Day2.22 births are meant to be eagerly looked forward to as beginnings of  I Am. Since most births are seen in this way, and most mature lives
D:Day2.23 My mature life thus began with the recognition of who  I Am, as does yours. This time was followed by my “example life,” a
D:Day3.41 The idea  I am trying to open to you here is the idea of a responsive
D:Day4.19 in my way. I asked them to be, not as they once were, but to be as  I am. I asked them to live—not in the world of their former
D:Day4.31 this as a disengagement from the details. Thinking is about details.  I am imparting to you the key to abundance and all the treasure that
D:Day4.46 for you, for you know exactly what it means. It means you will be as  I am. It means you will live from love rather than from fear. It
D:Day4.56 relationship. It is from this beginning that you will come to be as  I am.
D:Day9.1 “normal” life and the lack of freedom you have experienced there.  I am your refuge from the past, your gate of entry to the present.
D:Day10.3 spring from your willingness to experience its cause and its effect.  I am asking you now to be willing to move from conviction to
D:Day10.3 am asking you now to be willing to move from conviction to reliance.  I am not asking you to do this today any more than I am asking you to
D:Day10.3 to reliance. I am not asking you to do this today any more than  I am asking you to move from maintenance to sustainability today, I
D:Day10.3 I am asking you to move from maintenance to sustainability today,  I am merely making you aware of this difference, just as I made you
D:Day10.3 As with the states of maintenance and sustainability,  I am giving you cause for movement, the effect of which will be the
D:Day10.24 this way, is an exchange and will only become more so as we proceed.  I am not imparting wisdom that you are unaware of but reminding you
D:Day10.24 you are unaware of but reminding you of what you have forgotten.  I am not having a monologue, but we are having a dialogue in which
D:Day10.30  I am not calling you to be as these people are or were or to act as
D:Day10.30 be as these people are or were or to act as these people have, but  I am calling you to acknowledge that feelings are involved at every
D:Day10.31 As a man, I took a stand for the powerless and called them to power.  I am still doing so. Not because any of you are powerless but because
D:Day10.35 the issues facing your time in order to speak to you of such things,  I am aware of them. So is every other living thing because all that
D:Day38.2 you know, can you feel as yet, how much I love you? How full of love  I am for you?
D:Day38.5 or Great Spirit, Yahweh or Allah, but call me yours. For this is who  I Am.
D:Day38.7 And realize that as I call upon you, I call you who  I Am.
D:Day38.9 That you make it yours. As you make me yours and as I make you mine.  I Am your own. You are my own. We are the beloved when we are the
D:Day38.9 the beloved when we are the beloved to one another, when we are who  I Am to one another.
D:Day38.10 as your own God as well as God of all. Now it is time to call me who  I Am.
D:Day38.11 There is a subtle and loving difference between  I Am and who I Am. Who is an acknowledgment of individuated or
D:Day38.11 There is a subtle and loving difference between I Am and who  I Am. Who is an acknowledgment of individuated or differentiated
D:Day38.12 and possession in union and relationship. It cannot replace who  I Am, or who I Am to you.
D:Day38.12 in union and relationship. It cannot replace who I Am, or who  I Am to you.
D:Day38.13 Who  I Am to you, and who you are to me, is all that matters. Our

D:Day39.2 It is time now to come to your own discovery of who  I Am to you. No one can give you this answer, not even me, because

D:Day39.4 You may find it difficult to give yourself an answer to who  I Am to you in words, and even if you are able to do so, you may not
D:Day39.5 again of contradiction here. Of the importance of your knowing who  I Am to you, and of the importance of being able to continually
D:Day39.5 you, and of the importance of being able to continually discover who  I Am to you. Of your embrace of knowing, and your embrace of mystery.
D:Day39.5 on your own and yet of having to come to this realization of who  I Am to you on your own.
D:Day39.10 relationship with me is when you have discovered that you are who  I Am because you realize—or make real—your oneness with Christ.
D:Day39.33 being and an identity for that being. Everyone carries the memory of  I Am.
D:Day39.34 What memory of  I Am will you carry with you now that you know that I Am is who I am
D:Day39.34 What memory of I Am will you carry with you now that you know that  I Am is who I am and who you are? What memory has this Course and
D:Day39.34 of I Am will you carry with you now that you know that I Am is who  I am and who you are? What memory has this Course and this Dialogue
D:Day39.34 returned to you? What memory is without attributes because it is who  I Am and not a projection? Only love. What memory is not a memory,
D:Day39.37 is where we must return to paradox, to knowing who you are and who  I Am and to constantly discovering who you are and who I Am, because
D:Day39.37 are and who I Am and to constantly discovering who you are and who  I Am, because who you are and who I Am are the same being in the
D:Day39.37 discovering who you are and who I Am, because who you are and who  I Am are the same being in the constant creative tension of
D:Day39.38 This is a time of knowing who you are and who  I Am while at the same time, holding, or carrying, the mystery within
D:Day39.43 hands and that as you take another’s hand, you hold my own, and that  I am with you as well as within you. Realize that I love all that you
D:Day39.43 cry in despair, hang your head in weariness, howl with laughter,  I am with you and within you.
D:Day39.44 that you will no longer see me as an inhuman God. You will know  I am as human as are you and that you are as godly as am I.
D:Day39.46 process and that you are the bridge. You are the bridge to me.  I am the bridge to you. You are the bridge to your brothers and
D:Day40.3 words that are available, I would like you to understand that when  I am love being, I am being without attributes—love being in union
D:Day40.3 available, I would like you to understand that when I am love being,  I am being without attributes—love being in union and relationship.
D:Day40.3 am being without attributes—love being in union and relationship.  I am the anchor that holds all that has taken on attributes within
D:Day40.3 my being has been capable of accepting your projections—because  I am attributeless being. I am love, being.
D:Day40.3 of accepting your projections—because I am attributeless being.  I am love, being.
D:Day40.6 different or distinct being, a being different or distinct from who  I am, and who others are. These are the attributes of your being,
D:Day40.6 of being as making you separate rather than distinct from who  I am being and who others are being. Your attempt at individuation
D:Day40.7 being, a being of love, into form. Through that extension, I became  I Am. I became instantly because there was no opposing tension—only
D:Day40.7 an idea that entered love, of love’s extension. As soon as I became  I Am there also became all I am not, the Christ connection between
D:Day40.7 of love’s extension. As soon as I became I Am there also became all  I am not, the Christ connection between all I Am and all I am not,
D:Day40.7 Am there also became all I am not, the Christ connection between all  I Am and all I am not, and an I Am, called the son, who could become
D:Day40.7 became all I am not, the Christ connection between all I Am and all  I am not, and an I Am, called the son, who could become who I Am and
D:Day40.7 not, the Christ connection between all I Am and all I am not, and an  I Am, called the son, who could become who I Am and continue to
D:Day40.7 and all I am not, and an I Am, called the son, who could become who  I Am and continue to extend who I Am.
D:Day40.7 called the son, who could become who I Am and continue to extend who  I Am.
D:Day40.8 The differences have arisen through becoming. For with the birth of  I Am came the birth of all I am not and the need to differentiate. In
D:Day40.8 through becoming. For with the birth of I Am came the birth of all  I am not and the need to differentiate. In separation you have
D:Day40.9 carry within you as you return to love and to level ground as who  I Am being.
D:Day40.11 being, to my being love. I have reconfirmed this statement and said  I am the anchor that holds all that has taken on attributes within
D:Day40.11 my being has been capable of accepting your projections—because  I am attributeless being. I am love, being. But in being God, as in
D:Day40.11 of accepting your projections—because I am attributeless being.  I am love, being. But in being God, as in being human, being takes on
D:Day40.11 process rather than the process of separation. In being God,  I Am. In being love there is no I Am, but only love being.
D:Day40.11 process of separation. In being God, I Am. In being love there is no  I Am, but only love being.
D:Day40.14 The difference between you and me is that  I am being God and also love, being. This is why I am all and
D:Day40.14 you and me is that I am being God and also love, being. This is why  I am all and nothing, the attribute-laden God and the attributeless
D:Day40.14 is why it can be rightly said that God is Love and Love is God. But  I am also an extension of love, just as you are. This is all I Am
D:Day40.14 But I am also an extension of love, just as you are. This is all  I Am means. There is no I Am except through love’s extension. How
D:Day40.14 of love, just as you are. This is all I Am means. There is no  I Am except through love’s extension. How does love extend? Through
D:Day40.16 or brother, friend or foe? You are who you are in relationship.  I Am who I Am in relationship as well.
D:Day40.16 friend or foe? You are who you are in relationship. I Am who  I Am in relationship as well.
D:Day40.17 from relationship?” Separately from relationship, there is no  I Am, but only love, being.
D:Day40.21 with love. This relationship with love is all that provides for the  I Am of God.
D:Day40.25 being “left out,” unrecognized, or unwelcome: “Don’t you know that  I am an individual? That I have feelings?” Are you saying this now,
D:Day40.26 Perhaps you have noticed that in yesterday’s discussion of who  I Am to you and today’s discussion of who you are to me, that one has
D:Day40.27 to accept? Does it become less difficult if you remember who  I Am? That I Am everything being love? This is not the same as saying
D:Day40.27 accept? Does it become less difficult if you remember who I Am? That  I Am everything being love? This is not the same as saying you are
D:Day40.27 love. This is saying that this is who you are and that this is who  I Am.
E.9 For as long as you know that what  I am telling you is true, for as long as you carry this knowing
E.24 Remember that you are a creator. Never forget that in being who  I Am being, you extend only love.
A.12 Am I telling you not to question? Not to enter discussion?  I am only telling you to receive before you seek to perceive. I ask
A.47 ever-wider configurations. This dialogue is going on all around you.  I am with you and will never leave you comfortless. Call on me, for I
A.47 I am with you and will never leave you comfortless. Call on me, for  I am here. Talk to me, and I will hear you. Listen, and I will

C:3.18 to abandoning logic, and thereafter certainly to cause your ruin,  I say to you again: take heart. Such foolishness as your heart’s
C:32.4 And thus  I say to you, Amen. You have returned to Love, and your relationship
T4:6.3 it appears that some live on one world and some on another. But  I say to you that any scenario that separates my brothers and sisters

D:1.20 separation rather than the mindset of unity. What I say to you here,  I say to you. It matters not that I say these same words to many, for

idea (411)

C:P.9 to believe in the glory of who they are, few who can lay aside the  idea that to think of themselves in the light of God’s thought of
C:P.35 Before the coming of the word made flesh, the incarnation, the only  idea humankind could draw of an all-powerful being was a being whose
C:3.9 enter you as what they are, not the symbols that they represent. An  idea of love is planted now, in a garden rich with what will make it
C:3.10 Everything has birth in an  idea, a thought, a conception. Everything that has been manifested in
C:3.10 all completely human and scientifically provable. The birth of an  idea is thus the result of what has come before, of seeing something
C:3.10 before, of seeing something old as new, of improving on a former  idea, of taking various information and collecting it into a new
C:3.13 You have not given up the  idea that you are in control of what you learn, nor have you accepted
C:3.18 You who think this  idea is rife with sentiment, sure to lead you to abandoning logic,
C:4.17 fairness, such exchange of equal value. You give your mind to an  idea, your body to a job, your days to activities that do not
C:5.9 I pass down; they declare that I was here.” Again you have the right  idea, yet it is so sadly displaced as to make a mockery of who you
C:6.13 made, and the life you fear heaven would replace. To give up the  idea that this is where meaning is found, fulfillment attained,
C:7.1 in a way that your mind is not. Your mind would hold on to every  idea for what it might bring you, and is resentful of those whose
C:7.1 succeed in getting desirable things within this world. “I had that  idea,” you lament when another succeeds where you have failed. “I
C:7.17 persons, or situations related to. Now we must expand on this  idea.
C:7.20 relationship exists in wholeness. We have begun to dislodge your  idea that you stand separate and alone, a being broken off from all
C:7.23 while that it will take you to read these words. Start with this  idea: You will allow for the possibility of a new truth to be
C:7.23 truth to be revealed to your waiting heart. Hold in your heart the  idea that as you read these words—and when you finish reading these
C:8.3 in truth, no levels separate union at all. As a learning being, the  idea of levels is helpful to you and will aid you in seeing that you
C:8.26 think a thing remembered in every smallest detail and yet to have no  idea what the memory is about! All memory is twisted and distorted by
C:9.11 All use is predicated on the simple  idea that you do not have what you need. You will continue to believe
C:9.33 for eternity and has no use for time. Time too is of your making, an  idea of use gone mad, as once again you have taken something made for
C:10.31 that you have better things to do. Yet as much as you resist, the  idea has been planted and you will find yourself, at times that seem
C:11.2 are not your own creator. You have made this separation based on the  idea that what created you cannot be one with you. Again this only
C:11.3 This is one reason you do not like the  idea that those who would instruct you know more than you now know,
C:11.4 attempts at trying hard have long been past. Each exercise is but an  idea, and ideas leave not their source. All ideas here are but ideas
C:12.3 tried and failed. For all of you believe that you have tried this  idea called love, and all of you believe you have evidence that it is
C:12.17 way a thought that seems to arise out of nowhere can affect you. An  idea, birthed one day, does not seem to have been there the day
C:12.17 does not seem to have been there the day before. Perhaps it is the  idea of taking a trip or having a baby, of returning to school, or
C:12.17 or having a baby, of returning to school, or quitting a job. This  idea, newly birthed, may seem to come and go, or may grow into an
C:12.17 either way, it leaves not its source. And without the birth of the  idea, the results of the idea would not come to be. You may have a
C:12.17 its source. And without the birth of the idea, the results of the  idea would not come to be. You may have a thousand ideas one day and
C:12.18 You may very well say, however, that an  idea seemed to take on a life of its own and compel you to do things
C:12.18 wonder how they got from here to there, and some may see that one  idea took root and changed what seemed to be a destiny already
C:12.19 near as words can describe the separation, this is what occurred: An  idea of separation entered the mind of God’s son. Like any idea of
C:12.19 An idea of separation entered the mind of God’s son. Like any  idea of yours, this idea did not leave its Source nor change the
C:12.19 entered the mind of God’s son. Like any idea of yours, this  idea did not leave its Source nor change the essence of its Source in
C:12.19 Source nor change the essence of its Source in any way. While the  idea of taking an adventurous vacation when brought to fruition might
C:12.20 From the  idea of separation came the idea of an external aspect of life.
C:12.20 From the idea of separation came the  idea of an external aspect of life. Before the idea of the
C:12.20 separation came the idea of an external aspect of life. Before the  idea of the separation, there was no such thing—and there still is
C:12.20 there still is no such thing except as an extension of the original  idea. Just as we discussed your desire to protect or to control
C:12.20 so too is it with the external aspect of life. Without the original  idea of separation, the external aspect of life would not exist. Just
C:12.21 The Father did not prevent the  idea of separation from taking place, and could not any more than you
C:12.21 from taking place, and could not any more than you could prevent an  idea from occurring to you. Just as an idea of yours, once born,
C:12.21 than you could prevent an idea from occurring to you. Just as an  idea of yours, once born, continues to exist, so too, did this idea
C:12.21 as an idea of yours, once born, continues to exist, so too, did this  idea of separation. But just as your ideas do not take on a life of
C:12.21 take on a life of their own even though they at times seem to, this  idea as well had no ability to be more than what it was, except for
C:12.22 Thus, the son’s participation in the  idea of separation seemed to bring about a completely reshaped life,
C:12.22 Yet this participation could not but proceed from the original  idea and could not proceed in reality but only in the external aspect
C:12.22 but only in the external aspect of life that preceded it. The  idea of separation changed nothing in reality, but became a drama
C:12.25 into creation, and you are that extension and as holy as is he. The  idea of separation only seems to have made God’s son susceptible to
C:14.10 fit your goal of separation as neatly and conveniently as does your  idea of heaven. For what you require of love is that it set you apart
C:14.10 brothers and sisters. The more that is required is all to feed your  idea of your own specialness. You look for constant verification that
C:16.17 relationship that cannot be replaced. Judgment thus reinforces the  idea of separation, making of it something even darker than it
C:18.6 it is, a learning device given you by a loving creator. Before the  idea of separation, there was no need for learning. But a loving
C:18.8 learn in and from, for as long as you would choose to learn what the  idea of separation would teach you. Making a new choice, a choice to
C:18.9 look at the world that was created from your wish to learn what the  idea of separation would teach you. When you resided in unity, you
C:18.9 involvement this learning would require. In order to learn what the  idea of separation would teach you, you needed to believe that you
C:18.13 unity, learning from what unity can teach you must be birthed as an  idea. To hear or learn of another’s idea is not to give birth to it.
C:18.13 teach you must be birthed as an idea. To hear or learn of another’s  idea is not to give birth to it. You thus must each experience the
C:18.13 to give birth to it. You thus must each experience the birth of the  idea of learning from unity in order for it to come from within and
C:18.13 in order for it to come from within and leave not its source. An  idea of mine can only become an idea of yours through your
C:18.13 within and leave not its source. An idea of mine can only become an  idea of yours through your relationship with it. You need only to
C:18.13 through your relationship with it. You need only to experience this  idea in your own way, from the desire to know from which all ideas
C:18.14 Once an  idea is born, it exists in relationship to its creator. All that
C:19.24 part of you is always free to redeem the guilt-filled self. This  idea of self-redemption has long been a culprit that has kept union,
C:20.45 Your ideas of service are bound to your ideas of charity. Your  idea of charity is based on some having more and some having less.
C:20.45 serving and service. It will be helpful if you keep in mind that the  idea of to serve is being used to replace the idea of to use and is
C:20.45 keep in mind that the idea of to serve is being used to replace the  idea of to use and is its opposite. It replaces the thought of taking
C:22.3 A prime image of this  idea is provided by the axis. A line passes through a circle and the
C:22.6 however, concentrate upon a passing through rather than upon an  idea of division, and they help to show that even what is divided by
C:22.15 this takes is a pass-through approach and a relinquishment of the  idea of bringing things to a stop where they can be examined under a
C:23.9 unite people. “Parties” and “associations” are formed to foster the  idea of unity through shared belief. They are not necessary, as is
C:25.8 from subject/object relationships to the relationship of unity, the  idea of one who is devoted, and of those for whom devotion is
C:26.21 You are a thought of a God. An  idea. This thought, or idea, is what you seek. It can be found only
C:26.21 You are a thought of a God. An idea. This thought, or  idea, is what you seek. It can be found only at its source. Its
C:26.22 with no plot. This would be the same as saying that there was no  idea brought to completion within the pages or on the film. In God’s
C:26.22 idea brought to completion within the pages or on the film. In God’s  idea of you is all that is known about you. God’s idea of you is
C:26.22 the film. In God’s idea of you is all that is known about you. God’s  idea of you is perfect, and until now your form has been but an
C:26.22 now your form has been but an imperfect representation of God’s  idea. In God’s idea of you is the pattern of the universe, much as
C:26.22 has been but an imperfect representation of God’s idea. In God’s  idea of you is the pattern of the universe, much as within a novel,
C:26.22 much as within a novel, movie, piece of music, invention or artistic  idea is the completion of the pattern that will make that idea a
C:26.22 artistic idea is the completion of the pattern that will make that  idea a masterpiece. An idea is irrevocably linked with its source and
C:26.22 completion of the pattern that will make that idea a masterpiece. An  idea is irrevocably linked with its source and one with its source.
C:26.22 one with its source. There was no God separate from you to have this  idea of you. You were birthed in unison with God’s idea of you.
C:26.22 you to have this idea of you. You were birthed in unison with God’s  idea of you.
C:26.23 of your answers. Acceptance of your birth in unison with God’s  idea of you is acceptance of your Self as co-creator of the pattern
C:26.23 Self as co-creator of the pattern of the universe, acceptance of the  idea or the story that is you. Can you not see that you were birthed
C:26.27 I fulfilled my story, my pattern, the  idea of me that came from the thought of God. In doing so, I restored
C:27.10 diminished and lacking in identity just by contemplating such an  idea. And so you must be reassured of the Self you are.
C:29.2 Your function cannot be known to you while you shy away from the  idea of service. Whether you realize it or not, you associate service
C:29.2 it or not, you associate service with subjugation, particularly the  idea of service to a higher Will or higher Cause. Some of you
C:29.3 have so worried over what to do have both welcomed and feared the  idea of some kind of service being required of you. There is no
C:29.3 service being required of you. There is no mystery to this, as the  idea of service in your society is one of enforced duty, as
C:29.16 the interaction within which service occurs. The replacement of the  idea of service with the idea of use made for the existence of
C:29.16 service occurs. The replacement of the idea of service with the  idea of use made for the existence of special relationships. The idea
C:29.16 the idea of use made for the existence of special relationships. The  idea of use created all ideas of toil as the only means of having
C:29.16 created all ideas of toil as the only means of having needs met. The  idea of use created all notions of distrust, starting with—as we
C:31.2 The  idea of sharing one heart, one heartbeat, one love, is not so
C:31.2 heart, one heartbeat, one love, is not so unacceptable to you as the  idea of sharing one mind. Your thoughts, you feel, are your own,
C:31.7 of you with brain, an interchangeable word that conveys the same  idea. Mind is the control center, that which remembers and stores
C:31.9 no one argues this point, yet you allow yourself to resist the whole  idea of God because you believe that what is one cannot also be many.
C:31.14 The ego is that part of yourself that clings to the  idea of separation, and thus cannot grasp the basic truth of your
C:31.18 some need to confess, think a moment about why you are worried. The  idea of confessing is an idea of sharing. Rather than thinking of who
C:31.18 a moment about why you are worried. The idea of confessing is an  idea of sharing. Rather than thinking of who you are being all tied
C:31.25 share the truth with you nor with anyone else. The ego invented the  idea of “telling” the truth and using it as an opposite to telling an
T1:3.20 that God would grant miracles on such a whim, such a fanciful  idea as that of your being convinced of your own power. How could
T1:4.11 you have seen this call incorrectly as a call to be responsible. The  idea of responsibility sprang from the ego-mind that would usurp the
T1:4.12 be your children. Another of which might be your talents. It is the  idea of your responsibility for these gifts that has led to your
T1:4.27 of the Bible and many other religious texts, the word or  idea of awe has been confused with the word or idea of fear. A Course
T1:4.27 texts, 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
T2:1.8 because you think in terms of form. Thus even I have often used the  idea of place as a teaching aid. But you are ready now to begin to
T2:2.1 the heart that speaks to you in terms that are consistent with the  idea you currently hold of hearing a call or having a calling.
T2:2.9 prevents you from being who you are is far broader than this simple  idea of hearing and following a calling would indicate. You think
T2:3.6 If you still balk at the  idea that the Christ could be in need of learning, then your idea of
T2:3.6 at the idea that the Christ could be in need of learning, then your  idea of the Christ is still based on an old way of thinking, as are
T2:3.7 are not linear as you have perceived them to be. If we return to the  idea of talents this may be easier to explain. If the ability to
T2:4.2 is acted out upon you but that you are acted out upon creation. The  idea of creation as something static would be completely contrary to
T2:4.7 occurs within your life. Let us look now at your reaction to the  idea put forth earlier of having a calling.
T2:4.8 relates to you there are few among you who have not reacted to the  idea of calling with two sets of feelings and thoughts. One set of
T2:7.4 First let us replace your  idea of “others” with the idea of “relationship” that has been so
T2:7.4 First let us replace your idea of “others” with the  idea of “relationship” that has been so often defined and repeated
T2:7.10 Here is an  idea not heretofore given much attention, the idea of the desire for
T2:7.10 Here is an idea not heretofore given much attention, the  idea of the desire for change. Certainly there will continue to be
T2:8.5 called to a static acceptance that does not include change, this new  idea of acceptance requires further clarification.
T2:9.3 relates to your ability to let go. As many of you will find the  idea of letting go of special relationships among the most difficult
T2:11.4 of your body 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
T3:2.10 moment between the unreal and the real. All you await is an  idea, a remembrance of the original idea about your personal self.
T3:2.10 the real. All you await is an idea, a remembrance of the original  idea about your personal self.
T3:2.11 paradise for your sins. We have worked, thus far, to change your  idea of a vengeful God. Now we work to change your idea of a vengeful
T3:2.11 to change your idea of a vengeful God. Now we work to change your  idea of a vengeful self. For what else would such a self be?
T3:2.12 and daughters of God. This discussion may have seemed to accept the  idea of a self as highly developed as an adolescent child, a self who
T3:2.13 thinking behind, this thinking must be quickly replaced with a new  idea about yourself or its hold on you will remain.
T3:3.9 moments, but something always and eventually calls you back to the  idea that you are not good enough or that you do not want to put the
T3:3.10 who you are was the ego. The ego is gone. The ego was simply your  idea of who you were. This idea was a complex set of judgments, of
T3:3.10 The ego is gone. The ego was simply your idea of who you were. This  idea was a complex set of judgments, of good and bad, right and
T3:3.10 endless as it was worthless. Realize now the worthlessness of this  idea and let it go.
T3:4.3 matters. Ideas are the foundation of the self. You cannot have an  idea of goodness without having an idea of evil. You cannot have an
T3:4.3 of the self. You cannot have an idea of goodness without having an  idea of evil. You cannot have an idea of an ideal state without
T3:4.3 idea of goodness without having an idea of evil. You cannot have an  idea of an ideal state without having an idea of a state that is not
T3:4.3 of evil. You cannot have an idea of an ideal state without having an  idea of a state that is not ideal. You cannot have an idea you call
T3:4.3 having an idea of a state that is not ideal. You cannot have an  idea you call “right” without believing in an idea that can be
T3:4.3 You cannot have an idea you call “right” without believing in an  idea that can be “wrong.”
T3:4.4 The ego made such ideas necessary for the  idea of the ego was “wrong” or inaccurate. The only way to bring that
T3:6.1 to be given to in return for what you give. This stems from your  idea of yourself as a “child” of God, and a notion that would seem to
T3:6.2 to do with your former notions of God and your own self. It is an  idea that has been transferred to all of life, much as the idea of an
T3:6.2 It is an idea that has been transferred to all of life, much as the  idea of an unlovable self was transferred into all areas of life
T3:6.3 that seem to make it possible for you to live within your world. The  idea of reward transfers to ideas related to comparison as well, as
T3:6.4 you many reasons to be distrustful of your Self, beginning with the  idea of your abandonment here. Since the ego is a chosen self and a
T3:6.4 enough room within the ego’s thought system to keep within you the  idea of a self the ego is not. Thus has the ego had a self to blame
T3:6.5 of will, to pierce the holiness of your hearts. Bitterness and the  idea of vengeance go hand-in-hand. This is the idea of “an eye for an
T3:6.5 Bitterness and the idea of vengeance go hand-in-hand. This is the  idea of “an eye for an eye” or the exact opposite of the idea of
T3:6.5 This is the idea of “an eye for an eye” or the exact opposite of the  idea of “turning the other cheek.” While this may seem like the very
T3:6.5 idea of “turning the other cheek.” While this may seem like the very  idea of evil which I have denied the existence of, it is not evil but
T3:6.5 being that it is just another word, it is one chosen to introduce an  idea of such fallacy that it rivals only the ego in its destructive
T3:6.5 your heart what the ego has been to your mind. It is the one false  idea that has entered this holiest of places, this abode of Christ,
T3:7.1 on Unity,” to speaking here of ideas. God’s thought of you is an  idea of absolute truth. Your existence derives from this idea and
T3:7.1 you is an idea of absolute truth. Your existence derives from this  idea and this truth. The ego’s existence derived from your idea of a
T3:7.1 from this idea and this truth. The ego’s existence derived from your  idea of a separated self, a thought, or idea, of absolute untruth.
T3:7.1 existence derived from your idea of a separated self, a thought, or  idea, of absolute untruth. The ego’s thought system then formed
T3:7.1 ego’s thought system then formed beliefs that supported the initial  idea of the separation. Where is there a corresponding belief system
T3:7.1 Where is there a corresponding belief system that formed around the  idea of God?
T3:7.2 or thoughts. If you believe that God created you with a thought or  idea, then you can begin to see the power of thought. If you can
T3:7.2 If you can believe that you created the ego with a thought or an  idea, you can see where the power of thought is your power as well as
T3:7.4 who you are, even here within the human experience. This is the  idea that is beyond compare as you are beyond compare and the truth
T3:7.4 are beyond compare and the truth is beyond compare. This is the only  idea that holds true meaning and so all meaning is found within it.
T3:7.4 and so all meaning is found within it. Thus we start with this  idea.
T3:7.9 Now you have seized upon even this  idea and called it not treasure but theory and related it to the
T3:8.3 been taken on such a long journey before we ever once talked of an  idea as crucial as that of bitterness. This bitterness has been a
T3:8.4 Although at this moment it may be hard for you to conceive of the  idea of bitterness as something that you are attached to, I want you
T3:8.4 how bitterness does indeed fit into this category. Bitterness is an  idea intrinsically tied to the personal self and the experience of
T3:8.5 self. The choice that hasn’t been made is the choice to leave this  idea behind. The choice that has been made is to believe in a savior
T3:8.7 As was said in A Course of Love, the  idea of suffering is what has gone so wrong within God’s creation. As
T3:8.7 creation. As was said in “A Treatise on the Art of Thought,” the  idea of love can replace the idea of suffering but it is chosen not
T3:8.7 “A Treatise on the Art of Thought,” the idea of love can replace the  idea of suffering but it is chosen not because of the suffering that
T3:8.11 If what was looked for were means of making life easier, why not the  idea of machinery and tools that would seem to do so? If what was
T3:8.12 gone on for countless ages simply due to your inability to birth the  idea of an end to suffering?
T3:8.13 Let us now put an end to this acceptance through the birth of a new  idea.
T3:9.1 This  idea is an idea of love. It is an idea that makes perfect sense and
T3:9.1 This idea is an  idea of love. It is an idea that makes perfect sense and it is its
T3:9.1 This idea is an idea of love. It is an  idea that makes perfect sense and it is its very sense that makes it
T3:9.1 sense that makes it seem meaningless in a world gone mad. It is an  idea that says only that which comes from love is real. It is an idea
T3:9.1 an idea that says only that which comes from love is real. It is an  idea that says only that which fits within the laws of love is
T3:9.1 only that which fits within the laws of love is reality. It is an  idea that says all that love would not create does not exist. It is
T3:9.1 that says all that love would not create does not exist. It is an  idea that says that if you live from love and within love’s laws you
T3:9.1 from love and within love’s laws you will create only love. It is an  idea that accepts that this can be done and can be done by you in the
T3:10.3 to get to the “hard part” of this Course may find it here. The  idea of blame is incongruous with the idea of a benevolent Creator
T3:10.3 Course may find it here. The idea of blame is incongruous with the  idea of a benevolent Creator and a benevolent creation and as such is
T3:10.4 Taking away the  idea of placing blame will change your thought processes beyond your
T3:10.5 will short-circuit the many thoughts that you would attach to this  idea, thoughts that have formed a chain-reaction of situations and
T3:10.5 and behaviors that you had no realization were birthed from the  idea of blame. Although I offer it not as a replacement, what you
T3:10.5 what you will find will come in the place of blame is an  idea of acceptance of what is, an idea that is needed now.
T3:10.5 come in the place of blame is an idea of acceptance of what is, an  idea that is needed now.
T3:13.5 believed in the laws of man, laws that were made to perpetuate the  idea that you must pay for everything, or earn everything that you
T3:13.6 place to start because each of you are tempted to hang on to this  idea despite all that it has cost you. To replace this idea with the
T3:13.6 on to this idea despite all that it has cost you. To replace this  idea with the idea of there being no loss but only gain under the
T3:13.6 idea despite all that it has cost you. To replace this idea with the  idea of there being no loss but only gain under the laws of love, is
T3:13.7 I say this is a simple place to start because you can put this new  idea into practice today and every day by simply refusing the
T3:13.7 in concepts such as earning and paying. How you implement this  idea will be your choice. But the idea that you do not have to earn
T3:13.7 and paying. How you implement this idea will be your choice. But the  idea that you do not have to earn your way nor pay your way must be
T3:13.7 of your survival needs, this is far from the only area in which the  idea of earning or paying your way can be found. This old idea is
T3:13.7 which the idea of earning or paying your way can be found. This old  idea is consistent with all beliefs of an “if this then that” nature.
T3:13.7 of an “if this then that” nature. You might start practicing this  idea by repeating these words to yourself:
T3:13.10 you will change to reflect the fact that you have accepted this new  idea. Choose an act that will cause you no fear to begin with. For
T3:13.10 instance, you might tell yourself something such as this: “I have an  idea that if I sleep as long as I feel I need to sleep in the
T3:13.10 money each day that you ordinarily would not spend, always with the  idea in mind that this will not affect your budget in any negative
T3:13.12 from whatever action your ideas have suggested. You must birth the  idea of having no reason to fear these consequences, no matter what
T3:13.12 no matter what they may be. You must, in truth, birth the  idea of benevolence and abundance.
T3:13.13 the need for action, but one of the factors that distinguishes an  idea from a belief is a requirement of action. That action, while not
T3:14.5 forgotten: You would not be other than who you are. This is a key  idea that will help you immeasurably in leaving behind patterns of
T3:14.13 of blame and how you are unaware of all that proceeds from the  idea of blame, so too is it with the past. Like a story yet to be
T3:15.2 be different than they once were. The only true departure from this  idea has concerned the occasions of birth and death. This is
T3:15.3 New beginnings do not occur outside of relationship. The  idea of special relationship is one that hampers new beginnings.
T3:15.4 There is always some “thing” that is expected to change. This  idea is countered internally, however, by the idea that at some basic
T3:15.4 to change. This idea is countered internally, however, by the  idea that at some basic level, human beings do not change. You cannot
T3:15.7 You must now birth the  idea that human beings do indeed change. While you have known
T3:15.7 a center to each that is unchangeable, you must now give up the  idea that this core or center has been represented by the past. You
T3:15.7 core or center has been represented by the past. You must forget the  idea that the future cannot be different than the past.
T3:15.16 What we are adding now to these beliefs is the  idea that these beliefs can be represented in form. These beliefs
T3:16.3 You must forget the  idea that you can create the new from the old. If this were possible,
T3:16.8 key to resisting these temptations is not resistance at all but the  idea that you are already accomplished. Keeping this idea in the
T3:16.8 at all but the idea that you are already accomplished. Keeping this  idea in the forefront of your mind and heart will aid the translation
T3:16.12 key to resisting these temptations is not resistance at all but the  idea that there is no loss but only gain within the laws of love.
T3:16.14 and expectations of others are temptations that arise from your old  idea of special relationships. All of your plans to do good and be
T3:16.15 Now you must forget the  idea of needing to maintain specialness. A key aid in helping you to
T3:16.15 A key aid in helping you to put this temptation behind you is the  idea of the holy relationship in which all exist in unity and within
T3:16.15 and within the protection of love’s embrace. If you but live by the  idea that representing who you are in truth will create a new heaven
T3:17.2 naming of creatures. It was the beginning of perception and of the  idea that what was observable was “other than” he who did the
T3:18.10 as you can observe with your eyes open. You can observe by having an  idea of another’s health, abundance, peace, and happiness. You can
T3:20.13 effect, the manner of living practiced by those who have birthed the  idea that cause and effect are one in truth.
T3:21.16 All of these things have contributed to your  idea that you are a separate being and as such incapable of truly
T3:21.24 who will lead the way for others to follow. Do not give in to the  idea that one special one is needed nor give to any one a role you
T4:1.3 own worthiness, and particularly in your own chosenness. It is this  idea of being chosen that will cause your mind to conclude that some
T4:1.4 the beliefs of all of the world’s religions are but related to this  idea of choosing, a process of the free will with which you all are
T4:1.14 people, so much calamity would not have befallen them. And so the  idea of choice rears its head again and wraps the simple statement
T4:2.10 The  idea of separation is an idea that is not consistent with the idea of
T4:2.10 The idea of separation is an  idea that is not consistent with the idea of unity. If you proceed
T4:2.10 The idea of separation is an idea that is not consistent with the  idea of unity. If you proceed into this new time thinking that this
T4:2.27 Let this  idea gestate a moment within you and reveal to you the truth of which
T4:2.31 and clues previously unseen? Have you included other senses in your  idea of sight? Have you thought your instincts will be sharpened and
T4:3.6 The fear that was birthed along with the erroneously inherited  idea that it was your nature to be separate and alone and thus
T4:3.6 in it and beyond it, including God, weighed and balanced against the  idea of fear.
T4:3.14 The  idea of everlasting life in form has seemed a curse to some, a

D:3.8 Let us talk again for a moment of the  idea of giving and receiving as one that was introduced within A

D:3.12 All ideas leave not their source, thus giving and receiving is an  idea, as are all ideas, that exists apart from form. Giving and

D:4.11 Let us begin by coming to agreement about the  idea of divine design. This divine design could also be called
D:4.11 old and accept the new. In this case, the old you would deny is the  idea of a purposeless existence, a universe with no divine order, a
D:4.11 divine order, a life in which you are at the mercy of fate. The new  idea you are asked to accept is that existence is purposeful, that

D:11.5 and attacked it as they attack all problems to be solved. The  idea of making a contribution has begun to receive the attention of

D:12.13 that will assist you in leaving patterns of thinking behind is the  idea that thought as we are describing it, the thought that is not

D:12.14 Now that you are coming to a more clear  idea of what the “thoughts” that come to you from unity may be like,
D:12.15 you really know something, that this wasn’t your usual opinion or  idea you were offering up for discussion, but something you knew the

D:Day2.8 your unworthiness. Part of this feeling arises from the erroneous  idea that you can fail, even here. These are the temptations that
D:Day2.11 but this difference does not place these actions beyond the  idea of acceptance.
D:Day2.16 This is an example from my own life, an example the  idea of which still plagues many of you. This example is that of the
D:Day2.17 eternal life, but not until you have suffered as I suffered. This  idea would hardly be a joyful idea with which to begin our work
D:Day2.17 you have suffered as I suffered. This idea would hardly be a joyful  idea with which to begin our work together.
D:Day2.21 begin with the recognition of who I am. This is symbolic of the  idea put forth here that until you are aware of who you are, your
D:Day2.24 knew who I was and chose no suffering. This is what is meant by the  idea that has been repeated as “I died for your sins.” My death was
D:Day3.6 reaction to this statement. Some of you will feel excitement at the  idea of this issue being finally discussed; but be aware of your
D:Day3.9 Just posing the  idea that having a spiritual context for your life will assist you in
D:Day3.9 of which you are more accepting. But given time to consider such an  idea, you are likely to become more and more agitated, to go back and
D:Day3.11 Let us return for a minute to the base  idea behind the issue of money or abundance: the way you have
D:Day3.12 of talent and inspired ideas to bring them wealth. This is the  idea of bartering, which we have spoken of before, or bargaining,
D:Day3.12 or bargaining, which we will speak more of here. It is the base  idea that is behind all ideas of lack, an idea you so thoroughly

D:Day3.13 The idea of “if this, then that.” The idea of abundance earned. The  idea of nothing being truly free. Not you, and not your gifts.
D:Day3.14 This is one of those situations in which you know and have no  idea what to do with what you know. Being unable to replace, in
D:Day3.15 when you have feelings such as these? How can you accept the  idea of inheritance with ideas such as these? How do you accept me
D:Day3.17 Let’s go back to the  idea of money when it is seen as a “given.” It is seen as a “given”

D:Day5.3 physical concept of the mind but, since you are not your body, the  idea of what originates “within” coming from a point beyond the body
D:Day6.7 At one time the creation of a piece of music is only an  idea in the mind and heart of the creator. The creation of a song or

D:Day22.5 There is also, however, the  idea of a channel as a passage to take into consideration. This we
D:Day26.2 If you had known, you would not have sought guidance. Thus your  idea of guidance is likely to hinge upon this concept of the unknown.
D:Day26.3 as the source of coming to know of the unknown. While simple, this  idea can be expanded upon.
D:Day32.8 Another  idea of God within the concept of a Creator God is of God existing in
D:Day32.8 spirit, a force, a unifying factor. God is closer, within this  idea, to being a participatory being, but still falls short. Man
D:Day32.12 can this be? This can be only because in your contemplation of this  idea, you lose your sense of self. There is a rebellion, a negation
D:Day32.16 to within this work as relationship itself. Let us consider this  idea newly by considering God’s relationship to Jesus.
D:Day33.1 As we begin to speak of power, we must return to the initial  idea put forth in “A Treatise on the New”: That all are chosen. To

C:31.37 are here to learn. Now, with a clear learning goal in mind, these  idealized relationships must be broadened so that they are seen in

D:Day5.17 of union is not about becoming clones or one specific type of  idealized holy person. Union is being fully who you are and
D:Day6.16 must occur in life, in your life as it is, rather than in some  idealized situation away from what you consider normal life.
D:Day9.18 An  idealized image, like a rule, is a mental construct. All mental
D:Day9.21 an image is to become an image. To become an image, even an  idealized image, is to still become a false idol or even what is

C:14.10 Your  ideas of love, however, fit your goal of separation as neatly and

C:19.1 made of the body. Only from thinking of the body as yourself did  ideas of glorifying the body arise. To glorify a learning device

C:29.16 notions of distrust, starting with—as we have stated before—your  ideas of using the very body you call your home rather than allowing
C:30.11 “good” you will prosper. You do not see these ways of thinking as  ideas associated with gain and loss, but they are. All thinking that

C:31.25 of being able to keep truth a secret, one of the most ridiculous  ideas of the ego thought system.
C:31.37 that of parent to child. These two relationships have comprised your  ideas of our Father and me as you have realized that you are here to
T1:3.20 not to mess with such things. Even the thought of it leads you to  ideas of magic and power that is not of this world and thus that must

T1:4.8 thought system and from this central position developed all of its  ideas of glorifying the separated self as well as of subjugating the
T1:6.5 god seen as separate is to attempt to use what cannot be used. Such  ideas of prayer have had credence because this reaching out does at
T1:6.5 at least recognize that there is something to reach out to. Such  ideas of prayer have long been opening doors for those who are ready
T1:9.13 Lest you fight these  ideas as stereotypical, I will give just a few brief examples. These
T1:9.13 hurt or your pride? Your feelings called into question or your  ideas? And what guise did the ego take as it rallied to your aide?
T2:1.5 place without further instruction, you would soon return to your old  ideas of heaven and see peace as a state of being for those too weary
T2:2.9 for doing other than what they feel called to do. All of these  ideas illustrate your belief that something other than your own
T2:3.6 of the Christ is still based on an old way of thinking, as are your  ideas of learning.
T2:9.3 of letting go of special relationships among the most difficult of  ideas contained in this course of study, the ability to let go must
T2:11.8 continue to be with you, in the way that all learned behaviors and  ideas are with you, until it is totally replaced by new learning.
T2:11.15 It is from these two separate  ideas of relationship that the concept of doing battle has emerged.
T3:4.3 Before we can go on you must take all such  ideas from your mind. Such ideas are not small matters. Ideas are the
T3:4.3 Before we can go on you must take all such ideas from your mind. Such  ideas are not small matters. Ideas are the foundation of the self.
T3:4.3 all such ideas from your mind. Such ideas are not small matters.  Ideas are the foundation of the self. You cannot have an idea of
T3:4.4 The ego made such  ideas necessary for the idea of the ego was “wrong” or inaccurate.
T3:6.2 of God and the meaning of life and death. But this is one of the key  ideas that will keep you from yourself and has much to do with your
T3:6.3 for you to live within your world. The idea of reward transfers to  ideas related to comparison as well, as lack of reward in one
T3:7.1 talking of beliefs in “A Treatise on Unity,” to speaking here of  ideas. God’s thought of you is an idea of absolute truth. Your
T3:7.2 represent the truth of who you are and who God is, we speak now of  ideas or thoughts. If you believe that God created you with a thought
T3:7.3 truth here. You cannot do this with beliefs but you can do this with  ideas. Ideas leave not their source, and thus your inaccurate ideas
T3:7.3 You cannot do this with beliefs but you can do this with ideas.  Ideas leave not their source, and thus your inaccurate ideas about
T3:7.3 with ideas. Ideas leave not their source, and thus your inaccurate  ideas about yourself have their cause within you, as does your

T3:9.1 to be applied is to change your beliefs without changing your  ideas. This many have done. This you surely do not want to do.
T3:9.2 While you cannot now see the chain of events that will make these  ideas into a new reality, you can trust that they will be there,
T3:9.2 that they will be there, spreading out like a web, much as the ego’s  ideas of separation once did. Yet, as these ideas are not learned
T3:9.2 a web, much as the ego’s ideas of separation once did. Yet, as these  ideas are not learned ideas, they will not take time, as did the
T3:9.2 ideas of separation once did. Yet, as these ideas are not learned  ideas, they will not take time, as did the ego’s ideas, to spread
T3:9.2 are not learned ideas, they will not take time, as did the ego’s  ideas, to spread through learning.
T3:9.3  Ideas of love, or the truth, are joined in unity and exist in
T3:9.3 the truth, are joined in unity and exist in relationship. All of the  ideas within the house of illusion were contained within it and held
T3:9.3 illusion were contained within it and held together by the learned  ideas of the ego thought system. Now you must imagine yourself
T3:9.7 it did not pass beyond the arena of beliefs into the arena of  ideas. The Israelites believed in a Promised Land but they did not
T3:11.16 the old thought system is thoroughly translated to the new, such  ideas as right and wrong will be no more. It is only for this
T3:13.4 new according to what you believe to be the truth and translate into  ideas.
T3:13.11 they are but aides to help you in the development of your own  ideas. If you remember that all of your ideas are to be based on
T3:13.11 the development of your own ideas. If you remember that all of your  ideas are to be based on love, you will not fail to birth ideas of
T3:13.11 of your ideas are to be based on love, you will not fail to birth  ideas of consequence.
T3:13.12 The second aspect of this lesson will then be regarding your  ideas about the consequences that seem to result from whatever action
T3:13.12 about the consequences that seem to result from whatever action your  ideas have suggested. You must birth the idea of having no reason to
T3:13.13 Notice that the simple examples I gave were examples of action.  Ideas can certainly be birthed without the need for action, but one
T3:13.13 not originate with yourself. But it is not until you have your own  ideas about those beliefs that you own those beliefs in terms of
T3:13.13 of making them your beliefs. To believe without forming your own  ideas about your beliefs is to be in danger of succumbing to false
T3:13.14 To form your own  ideas is to be creative. Forming your own ideas happens in

T3:13.14 represents, in form, the thought or image produced within the Self.  Ideas, in the context in which we are speaking of them here, are
T3:14.1 fearfully may still remain and as such be a deterrent to new  ideas and to action. As long as these patterns of fear remain as
T3:14.2 and abundance. What this means is that you will slowly translate all  ideas of scarcity into ideas of abundance, all ideas of blame into
T3:14.2 means is that you will slowly translate all ideas of scarcity into  ideas of abundance, all ideas of blame into ideas of benevolence.
T3:14.2 slowly translate all ideas of scarcity into ideas of abundance, all  ideas of blame into ideas of benevolence. Thus you might, after this
T3:14.2 ideas of scarcity into ideas of abundance, all ideas of blame into  ideas of benevolence. Thus you might, after this period of
T3:14.5 you would change than you would imagine. You fear where all your new  ideas might take you, and for some great changes may surely await,
T3:15.2 hampers new beginnings of all kinds within the human experience are  ideas that things cannot be different than they once were. The only
T3:15.8 What they are, in truth, are aides to help you birth the new  ideas that will break the patterns of old.
T3:15.11 I have said here that love, peace, and truth are interchangeable  ideas within the new thought system. Thus, truth, like love, is not
T3:15.14 These examples of your former  ideas about new beginnings have simply been used to demonstrate why
T3:15.16 for still more forgetting as you must consciously let go of all your  ideas of the limitations inherent in your concept of what it means to
T3:16.10 old patterns of dissatisfaction with the self. It has to do with any  ideas you may still hold concerning others having more than you have,
T3:16.12 thought system of the truth. This fear relates very strongly to your  ideas of change and as such is the greatest detriment to your new
T3:18.2 Let us return to the concept of observation and link it with  ideas as we have spoken of them here. Observation, the ability to
T3:18.10 We also now link observance and  ideas. Ideas form in the mind. You are used to thinking that what you
T3:18.10 We also now link observance and ideas.  Ideas form in the mind. You are used to thinking that what you
T3:19.12 for what it is. Just as we are telling you that new beliefs and  ideas will lead to a new reality, old beliefs and ideas led to the
T3:19.12 new beliefs and ideas will lead to a new reality, old beliefs and  ideas led to the old reality, a reality that will still exist for
T3:21.12 acquired that is not of form, you have, however, added to the few  ideas that you hold certain. A degree earned or talent developed is
T3:21.15 aspect that has to do with beliefs is linked to your thoughts and  ideas about the world you live in and the “type” of person you feel
T3:21.15 Whether you have given thought to the interconnection of these  ideas you hold about yourself or not, they exist. Your world-view,
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 seem
T3:22.1 beginning to form ideas of what it means to live by the truth, these  ideas may not seem to have much relevance or relationship to the life
T4:1.2 make some uncomfortable. It will continue to challenge your former  ideas and beliefs as have the previous Treatises. But it will do this
T4:1.3 many others have tried and failed to achieve. These are the types of  ideas that will cause discomfort to many of you as you still find it
T4:1.6 and when the concept of being chosen is one laden with so many false  ideas about exclusivity? I am using this word specifically because of
T4:2.8 point because you literally cannot proceed to full awareness while  ideas such as more and better remain in you. As I have said before,
T4:2.10 seeks to accomplish and so it is necessary to belabor these false  ideas that would keep you from this awareness. If you think you can
T4:2.13 Thus, you must examine your intention even now and remove from it all  ideas that were of the old way. You would not be here if you were
T4:2.14 This is one of the many reasons we have worked to dispel your  ideas of specialness. One of the best means for us to clarify the
T4:6.6 long as—and this is a crucial as long as—you do not give in to  ideas of separation and disunity.
T4:8.2 now that you can come to know this truth without reverting to old  ideas of not having had “yourself” any choice in the matter, or
T4:8.2 having had “yourself” any choice in the matter, or reverting to old  ideas of blaming God for all that has ensued since this choice. I say
T4:8.3 is the center of your being. The mind of God is the source of all  ideas, just as “your” mind is the source of your ideas.
T4:8.3 the source of all ideas, just as “your” mind is the source of your  ideas.
T4:10.2 which you now are, without learning. Your thoughts might stray to  ideas about experiencing, rather than studying, and yet you will
T4:12.18 take hold in the new. Announce far and wide freedom from the old  ideas, the learned wisdom of old. What could be more invigorating,
D:2.13 control have become particularly entrenched. Thus have you learned  ideas such as “when all else fails, plain old hard work will see you
D:3.7 as acceptance and denial need go. For if you give credence to the  ideas of contrast, you bring those ideas forward with you into the
D:3.7 For if you give credence to the ideas of contrast, you bring those  ideas forward with you into the new. We let the old go, and with it
D:3.7 forward with you into the new. We let the old go, and with it all  ideas of contrast and opposites, of conflict and opposing forces.
D:3.8 to carry forward with you into the new. This is the first of many  ideas that were previously taught that I would like to talk of in a
D:3.8 taught that I would like to talk of in a new way. These are  ideas that address your true nature as a being existing in union, and
D:3.8 nature as a being existing in union, and this is why we call them  ideas to carry forward. These are new ideas to you because you have
D:3.8 and this is why we call them ideas to carry forward. These are new  ideas to you because you have recently learned them and through the
D:3.8 them into the elevated Self of form. These are really not new  ideas, however, but rather ideas of who you truly are birthed within
D:3.8 Self of form. These are really not new ideas, however, but rather  ideas of who you truly are birthed within the self of form so that
D:3.8 so that the Self and the elevated Self of form are able to work with  ideas birthed from the same source.
D:3.9  Ideas of who you truly are, birthed by the wholehearted self in union
D:3.9 are, birthed by the wholehearted self in union with all, are the  ideas that will allow new patterns to emerge and the design of the
D:3.9 to emerge and the design of the future to be created. These are the  ideas that replace the learned concepts we leave behind.
D:3.10 You will notice that all of these  ideas have in common a quality of oneness. Oneness replaces duality
D:3.11 the idea of one who gives and one who receives. If all are one, such  ideas make no sense. This would seem to make the idea of giving and
D:3.12 All  ideas leave not their source, thus giving and receiving is an idea,
D:3.12 not their source, thus giving and receiving is an idea, as are all  ideas, that exists apart from form. Giving and receiving are thus one
D:3.22 These are your  ideas as well as mine. They are the ideas of your brothers and
D:3.22 These are your ideas as well as mine. They are the  ideas of your brothers and sisters as much as they are of God. I am
D:4.16 From this one externalized thought pattern came most of your false  ideas, ideas that made it difficult even for the divinely inspired
D:4.16 this one externalized thought pattern came most of your false ideas,  ideas that made it difficult even for the divinely inspired thought
D:4.16 learning through contrast, since when the ego entered with its false  ideas and judgment, contrast did not always provide the lessons it
D:6.1 Within the text of the coursework provided you heard many  ideas that either changed or reinforced those you already had about
D:6.2 may now work as a detriment to your acceptance as you cling to  ideas concerning false representation rather than let them go in
D:6.2 again. But as we enter this new time of elevated form, these same  ideas—ideas that many of you attached to form rather than to your
D:6.2 But as we enter this new time of elevated form, these same ideas—  ideas that many of you attached to form rather than to your
D:6.5 body—your form—must be seen in a new way. It is thus with new  ideas about the body that we will begin the final thought reversal
D:6.11 This same kind of attitude still governs your  ideas about the body and the systems of the world in which you exist.
D:6.14 the suspension of belief. If you continue into the new with your old  ideas about your body, the old body will be what you carry into the
D:6.21 blaming the past for the present. And yet, what ridding your mind of  ideas of placing blame does, is take it one step away from the
D:6.25 representative of a learning being. The ego, however, narrowed your  ideas of what the body was here to learn to ideas of survival. You
D:6.25 however, narrowed your ideas of what the body was here to learn to  ideas of survival. You thus learned to survive rather than to live.
D:7.25 These scenarios of fear we leave behind as we abandon  ideas of evolution in time and proceed to an awareness of how the
D:8.3 All of these  ideas we leave behind as we concentrate instead on the very simple
D:9.5 it was said within this Course that you are an idea of God, and when  ideas were spoken of as if they were synonymous with thought, this
D:9.11 your conscious awareness. We do this by discussing now the nature of  ideas as opposed to the nature of thoughts.
D:9.12 you discovered existed within you prior to the time of learning,  ideas are also discoveries that you make, discoveries that exist
D:9.12 that you make, discoveries that exist apart from learning.  Ideas “come to you.” They are given and received. They are surprising
D:9.14 of your natural talent or ability and your discovery of new  ideas are discoveries of something that already existed beyond the
D:9.14 existed beyond the dot of the body; and if you accept that these  ideas that already exist were able to pass through you in order to
D:10.1 What comes to you in the form of natural abilities or talents, as  ideas, as imagination, as inspiration, instinct, intuition, as
D:10.2 Notice the inability of teaching or learning to call forth talents,  ideas, imagination, inspiration, instinct, intuition, vision, or
D:11.7 this, many of you reverse the direction of your thoughts and turn to  ideas of what you still need to do to accomplish your calling, to
D:12.13 One of the primary  ideas that will assist you in leaving patterns of thinking behind is
D:14.3 might want to know before beginning the creation of the new are the  ideas we have just explored, ideas of how what is not of the body can
D:14.3 the creation of the new are the ideas we have just explored,  ideas of how what is not of the body can still be known to you. And
D:14.13 Again, these  ideas can be likened to the ideas put forth in “A Treatise on Unity
D:14.13 Again, these ideas can be likened to the  ideas put forth in “A Treatise on Unity and Its Recognition” when it
D:16.16 image is like a lingering shadow. It encompasses all of your former  ideas about yourself, all of the patterns of the time of learning,
D:Day2.8 Part of this feeling arises from erroneous  ideas that remain regarding your unworthiness. Part of this feeling
D:Day3.4 angry with the beginning of this Course and its challenge to your  ideas regarding love. Most of you approached learning through the
D:Day3.4 learning through the heart with even more openness than you did new  ideas about love, not realizing that they were one and the same.
D:Day3.7 feel more peaceful, give you comfort of a non-physical nature. These  ideas, whether you realize it or not, are all associated with mind.
D:Day3.7 are all associated with mind. It is through your mind that these new  ideas will change your actions and your life, your mind that, through
D:Day3.11 of natural gifts or talents, the “givens” of fresh and inspired  ideas. You do not, however, see that these are in truth linked as
D:Day3.12 than others that they can use the givens of talent and inspired  ideas to bring them wealth. This is the idea of bartering, which we
D:Day3.12 we will speak more of here. It is the base idea that is behind all  ideas of lack, an idea you so thoroughly learned during the time of
D:Day3.14 of how things might be different. As far as you have come, these  ideas are still with most of you to one degree or another. Even
D:Day3.14 you to one degree or another. Even though you know these are false  ideas, and in that knowing may even say to yourself as you read them
D:Day3.14 you know this too. They are what prevent you from believing that the  ideas set forth in this Course, when practiced, are capable of making
D:Day3.15 such as these? How can you accept the idea of inheritance with  ideas such as these? How do you accept me when you see me as
D:Day3.22 may have left behind aspirations of wealth, and replaced them with  ideas of having more time, more fulfilling work, simpler pleasures,
D:Day3.25 reject the untruths that you learned. You must fully reject the  ideas that taught you that you do not have enough, that you will only
D:Day3.48 anger is to lead you to the step beyond it, the step of action and  ideas, the step often called that of bargaining.
D:Day3.49 this step without realizing that you are still acting in accord with  ideas of it being an “if this, then that” world. You try to guess
D:Day3.50 too, is not without value. You may have many good and even inspired  ideas within this time. You may feel as if you are on the right
D:Day3.50 begin to see the benefits that have been promised. But many of your  ideas and actions at this stage will be tinged with the anger that
D:Day3.53 Just as you were told you cannot “think” great  ideas into being, or great talent into fruition, just as you were
D:Day3.53 Abundance can only be accepted and received, just as great  ideas and great talent can only be accepted and received.
D:Day3.54 You might argue now that what you do with great  ideas and great talent is of consequence, and this is true. A great
D:Day4.7 long before the onset of the time of language that constitutes your  ideas about what it means to think. In evolutionary terms this was
D:Day4.15 We have spoken of talents that were not learned. We have spoken of  ideas that were not gained through effort. We have spoken of these
D:Day8.1 the time of acceptance may not have cheered you fully. Now, with the  ideas of the conditions of the time of acceptance fresh in your minds
D:Day8.9 that to accept what is, is to accept that people gossip. These false  ideas about acceptance may then have blocked your own true feelings
D:Day8.23 be denied now. This is a continuation of the reversal of some of the  ideas of yourself that began in “A Treatise on the New”.
D:Day9.10 of what an ideal self is have come from? It may have come from your  ideas of right and wrong, good and bad. It may have its source in
D:Day9.10 world has come to see as enlightened ones. It may be linked to your  ideas of being able to express wisdom or compassion. The image of the
D:Day9.19 All  ideas such as those of advancement or enlightenment are mental
D:Day9.25 as gifts? These are not just the givens of talents or inspired  ideas, but all the givens that combined create the wholeness and the
D:Day10.5 we will return to a discussion of feelings in connection with the  ideas of confidence, reliance, and certainty.
D:Day10.13 still hold an image of your personal self, you still hold inaccurate  ideas about the feelings of the personal self. This is because your
D:Day10.27 I asked you once before to review your  ideas about the afterlife, a life in which most of you believe
D:Day10.29 to take unpopular stands against popular leaders? Do not even your  ideas of saints and angels include concepts of their feeling
D:Day15.27 with those coming to know along with you, you do not create false  ideas concerning what this is about.
D:Day19.11 that matters. Eventually all will follow the way of Mary and such  ideas as acclaim and obscurity will be no more. But at this time of
D:Day21.1 have probably already realized, is about a letting-go of any of the  ideas that you may still have that an outside source exists. There is
D:Day25.3 once were. You need not guard against an over-zealous ego-mind. Your  ideas in this time may sound crazy, even to your own ears. Let them
D:Day28.14 forces that have affected you with sadness more so than with  ideas of success or failure. Therefore, you think that you must take
D:Day32.5 might think of God as you think of yourself. When thinking of the  ideas put forth here, you might think of God deciding to know
D:Day35.7 an idea of accomplishment and union here and now come to replace all  ideas of life after death.
D:Day35.8 These are  ideas that take the way in which you once related to life and shift
D:Day35.9  Ideas are neither learned nor accomplished. They simply are. They
D:Day35.10 Giving  ideas life is the role of creatorship.
D:Day36.11 your being and God in relationship. This is the example that the  ideas of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit as a trinity representing one

C:29.21 Claiming your  identity and your power to make choices is an act that comes from an
C:30.7 body. The person who knows, truly knows, the simplest truth of the  identity of the Self no longer lives in a dualistic position with
C:31.11 thoughts, you have aggrandized all your thoughts and given them an  identity we have called the ego. Without dislodging your belief in
C:31.11 your belief in your ego as yourself you will never realize your true  identity.
C:31.16 While you continue to live dishonestly, your notion of what your  identity truly is cannot improve.

T2:3.8 In this same way, then, Christ can be seen as the seed of your  identity. Christ is the continuous and on-going expansion of the same
T2:3.8 thought of love that brought life into existence. Christ is your  identity in the broadest sense imaginable. Christ is your identity
T2:3.8 is your identity in the broadest sense imaginable. Christ is your  identity within the unity that is creation.
T2:4.3 It attempted to dislodge the ego-mind that has provided you with an  identity that you but think you are. A Course of Love then followed

T2:7.21 giving and receiving as one becomes simply an aspect of your  identity and accepted as the nature of who you are in truth.
T2:11.4 ceasing to do battle with the ego. As the ego has been the known  identity of your existence until now, it will, in a sense, be forever
T2:11.4 you until your death. But while your perception of your body as your  identity and your home has given way to an idea of it as a form that
T2:11.7 belief in separation and all that followed from it. Thus your true  identity must be recreated from the belief in unity that is inherent
T2:11.7 that opposes relationship, and the ego is all that opposes your true  identity.
T2:11.14 given a name, as we have given your relationship with your separate  identity the name of ego. Here, we are asking you to choose the one
T2:11.17 I have said that the ego will remain with you as the  identity you have learned since birth until you replace it with new
T2:13.1 of individuality. You have been told to put on a new mantle, a new  identity. What does this mean?
T3:8.2 revelation toward which we work. Never forget that establishing your  identity has been the only aim of this entire course of study.
T3:8.4 self. Whether you believe the personal self is comprised of the one  identity you now hold or the identity of many past lives, the
T3:8.4 personal self is comprised of the one identity you now hold or the  identity of many past lives, the identity you hold in this time and
T3:8.4 one identity you now hold or the identity of many past lives, the  identity you hold in this time and this place still believes in its
T3:12.5 point, our goal was returning to your awareness the truth of your  identity. By changing our goal now, I am assuring you that you have
T3:12.5 I am assuring you that you have become aware of the truth of your  identity. The goal of this Course has been accomplished. However,

T3:21.10 a crucial other than—your certainty of your own identity, the very  identity this Course has disproved. This identity has been seen as
T3:21.10 your own identity, the very identity this Course has disproved. This  identity has been seen as your personal self. Thus your personal self
T3:21.11 you have been capable, simply because you could not exist without an  identity. You might think of this as being certain of facts and
T3:21.12 you rarely count what you have acquired in form as part of your  identity. What you have acquired that is not of form, you have,
T3:21.12 certain. A degree earned or talent developed is seen as part of your  identity, as part of who you are.
T3:21.13 So too is it with beliefs. Many of you have a religious  identity as well as a professional identity. Many of you have
T3:21.13 Many of you have a religious identity as well as a professional  identity. Many of you have political or philosophical identities. You

T3:21.19 said that we can also use the certainty you have felt about your  identity for our new purpose, the purpose of the miracle that will
T3:21.19 you cease to identify yourself as you always have and use the only  identity you have been certain of for a new purpose?
T3:21.20 contradictory, for the answer lies in realizing that your former  identity does not matter, even while realizing that it will serve
T3:21.20 seeming answer. One is that your certainty regarding the  identity of your personal self will be useful as that certainty is
T3:21.20 system of the truth and aids you in becoming certain of your true  identity. The second is that the very differences that you seem to
T4:1.26 be perceived clearly by these, and they will not want it for their  identity but only will accept it until another identity is offered.

D:1.24 you. What you are going to find happening, as you accept your true  identity, is a transference of purpose concerning your body. What

T3:20.6 Think about a situation in which you have observed the  illness or suffering of another. Sympathy is the most common

C:9.8 this. This is the choice set before you—to go on believing in the  illusion you have made, or to begin to see the truth.
C:9.16 one is fear, the other love. Fear is thus the source of all  illusion, love the source of truth.
C:9.22 of a meal, a cup of water, a warm bed? While you are trapped in the  illusion of need surely these acts of charity are of some value, but

C:10.1 is the same. The body is a tool made for your use in maintaining the  illusion of your separation. That it has seeming power can only be
C:10.3 wholeness, including the thought system that you made to protect the  illusion you hold so dear. Your thought system is completely alien to
C:10.3 system of truth is as wholly consistent as the thought system of  illusion, and you cannot take what you will and leave the rest. Thus
C:10.4 of all transformation is at the source, and this is as true of  illusion as of the truth. You see your body as your self, and your
C:10.16 not exist, only that it is not you. Like all tools you made, it is  illusion because you have no need of tools. But while you believe you

C:15.11 would hold dear. But which would you rather betray? The truth or  illusion? You cannot be loyal to both, and herein lies your problem.
C:15.11 cannot live without or abandon hope of receiving. And so you choose  illusion over truth and betray all that you are and the hope your

C:20.48 wisdom but the truth. The truth is that which exists. The false is  illusion. Love is all that matters because love is all that is.
C:28.2 then, you might ask, is the truth brought to those still living in  illusion?
C:29.9 remember that your own hand can open it once again. It is a gate of  illusion, of mist, of clouds before the sun. Your hand is

C:31.31 are one in truth. The truth is what is. What is not the truth is  illusion. Does this not make perfect sense?
T1:1.4 the present-moment experience memory provides that truth rather than  illusion can now be experienced and learned from. It is in the
T1:1.5 All that you have experienced in truth is love. All that  illusion provided you with was nothing. Thus your first task as you
T1:1.5 first task as you remember and re-experience is that of separating  illusion from the truth. This act will require no effort for what you
T1:1.5 you will, if you trust your heart, be perfectly able to identify  illusion and truth. This is a simple act of recognizing meaning. All
T1:1.5 act of recognizing meaning. All that you believe you learned from  illusion will have no meaning to you now and will allow you to give

T1:3.3 of all of this, it cannot experience the truth and so exists in  illusion.
T1:3.4 The experience of truth dispels  illusion and thus the ego-mind. The art of thought replaces the

T1:5.7 The whole of life could in fact be seen as the  illusion of an in-between you have created between all and nothing.
T1:5.9 the thinking of your ego-mind that make the in-between state of the  illusion in which you now exist seem real. I must make a distinction
T1:5.9 in the realm of the truly real, but is actually present within the  illusion. This is why all seeking must turn within, toward the heart
T1:5.10 thought system based on anything but the truth lead to anything but  illusion?
T1:7.2 is disease; the absence of peace is conflict, the absence of truth  illusion. This belief does not accept that there is only one reality
T1:8.9  Illusion is the death you need but arise from. Arise and awaken to
T1:8.10 to creation is proof of your memory’s tenacity and the failure of  illusion to completely rid you of what you know.
T1:8.11 matters not as myth and reality have no concrete distinction in the  illusion within which you live. In other words you live as much by
T2:7.13 This is about being who you are and seeing the truth rather than the  illusion that surrounds you. You cannot, in other words, be a good
T2:7.19 long abide in the holy place of your heart. Then, with truth and  illusion separated, you develop the discipline to express your true
T2:8.2 of devotion for in this practice is the truth separated from  illusion.
T3:1.4 the truth. A representation of what is not the truth reveals only  illusion and becomes illusion. Thus, as your personal self becomes a
T3:1.4 of what is not the truth reveals only illusion and becomes  illusion. Thus, as your personal self becomes a representation of the
T3:1.6 most of your life representing the ego have but given a face to  illusion and made it seem real. When I say that you have represented
T3:1.8 who you are, to erroneously have seen your former representation of  illusion as the truth of who you are is what has led to your
T3:1.9 self, as a representation of the ego, was who you were, was an  illusion that blocked awareness of your true Self from your mind.
T3:1.9 your mind. Your true Self is now ready to come out of the mist of  illusion in which it was hidden and to be represented in truth by the
T3:1.11 to be could be two completely different selves. Even within the  illusion in which you existed there was a self kept hidden.
T3:2.5 your real Self. This belief was based in logic, but the logic of the  illusion—in which you believed you chose to separate from God out
T3:2.7 And yet the truth has as many ways of being represented as does  illusion.
T3:2.8 Just as artistic representations of  illusion are sometimes called art, representations of the self of
T3:2.8 of illusion are sometimes called art, representations of the self of  illusion have been called the self without this being so. In each,
T3:2.8 great harm to others and the world. There is no truth to be found in  illusion and so no representations of perceived truth, no matter how
T3:4.1 insanity. It merely calls you to sanity by calling you to let go of  illusion in favor of the truth.
T3:4.2 not for monks or clones. It asks not that you give up anything but  illusion, which is the giving up of nothing.
T3:4.6 This is what we have done. We have taken away the foundation of  illusion, the one error that became the basis of all that came after
T3:4.7 before, the only replacement that will work is the replacement of  illusion with the truth. The very purpose of this Treatise is to
T3:4.7 The very purpose of this Treatise is to prevent the replacement of  illusion with illusion, or one ego-self with another. The training of
T3:4.7 of this Treatise is to prevent the replacement of illusion with  illusion, or one ego-self with another. The training of this Course,
T3:5.8 original purpose cannot go unfulfilled. What this means is that the  illusion will be no more and truth will reign. Such is the reign of
T3:7.6 have formerly been capable of representing who you are only within  illusion for this was the abode in which you resided. Illusion has
T3:7.6 only within illusion for this was the abode in which you resided.  Illusion has been to you like a house with many doors. You have
T3:7.6 that the house you entered was still the same house, the house of  illusion. You took yourself into these many rooms and in some you
T3:7.6 true Self. This representation of the true Self within the house of  illusion was like an explosion happening there. For a moment, the
T3:7.8 Thus has been the best of what you call life within the  illusion.
T3:7.9 The reason is that the Source cannot be found within the house of  illusion. The Source can only be found from within the House of Truth.
T3:8.1 this is what we work toward. Symbols are needed only in the house of  illusion, just as are beliefs. The most enlightened among you have
T3:8.1 The work that is upon you now is that of replacing the house of  illusion once and for all with the home of truth. The work that is
T3:8.3 carry this bitterness within you, you will remain in the house of  illusion for your feelings are as real to you as have been the
T3:8.3 anything other than the truth remains real to you, your house of  illusion will remain a real structure, a structure that keeps you
T3:8.9 As the representations of the true Self within the house of  illusion caused explosions and a fallout of treasure, the
T3:8.10 could not have imagined all that the explosions in the house of  illusion have wrought. These treasures that you now enjoy would have
T3:9.3 and exist in relationship. All of the ideas within the house of  illusion were contained within it and held together by the learned
T3:9.3 must imagine yourself walking outside of the doors of this house of  illusion and finding a completely new reality beyond its walls. You
T3:9.3 at first, to see things that are like unto those within the house of  illusion and call them what you called them once before. But here you
T3:9.4 You will see that the house of  illusion was just a structure built within the universe of truth and
T3:9.4 you will be glad to see that those who remain within the house of  illusion could not escape love’s presence.
T3:9.5 You will be tempted, nonetheless, to re-enter the house of  illusion, if only to grasp the hands of those you love and gently tug
T3:9.5 will finally come tumbling down and those inside be held within  illusion no more. This was the work of many who came before you but
T3:9.5 of such work, for you, is past. Many remain to shake the walls of  illusion. Few stand beyond it to beckon to those within.
T3:9.6 The paradise that is the truth seems to lie far beyond the house of  illusion in the valley of death. Survivors of near death experiences
T3:9.6 than life. You who have followed me beyond the walls of the house of  illusion are now called to begin the act of revealing and creating
T3:10.7 of the past. How can it be when the past was lived in the house of  illusion and the present is lived in the House of Truth? Being
T3:10.16 you will be dwelling among those in human form. While the house of  illusion still exists, you will continue to encounter those who exist
T3:10.16 it. While you continue to encounter those who exist in the house of  illusion you will continue to encounter temptations of the human
T3:11.1 of awareness of the self. Those existing within the house of  illusion are aware of the self but are unaware that the self of
T3:11.1 of illusion are aware of the self but are unaware that the self of  illusion, the self that exists in illusion, is an illusionary self.
T3:11.1 but are unaware that the self of illusion, the self that exists in  illusion, is an illusionary self. This could be further stated as
T3:11.1 This could be further stated as those who exist in the house of  illusion are aware of the personal self alone and believe the
T3:11.4 but a dwelling place. The word house as used in the house of  illusion does represent a structure. The house of illusion is a
T3:11.4 in the house of illusion does represent a structure. The house of  illusion is a construction meant to shield the personal self from all
T3:11.5 The house of  illusion is the stage on which the drama of the human experience has
T3:11.6 During the time I spent on earth I did not dwell in the house of  illusion but in the House of Truth. What this means is that I was
T3:11.10 by denying any right or wrong, the difference between truth and  illusion can no longer be denied. To realize the difference between
T3:11.10 can no longer be denied. To realize the difference between truth and  illusion is not to call one right and the other wrong but to simply
T3:11.10 as we proceed so that you are not tempted to judge those living in  illusion or their reality. Their reality does not exist. Believing in
T3:11.10 reality. Their reality does not exist. Believing in the reality of  illusion will never make it the truth.
T3:11.12 brothers and sisters. All exist in the House of Truth. The house of  illusion exists within the House of Truth because it is where your
T3:11.12 it is where your brothers and sisters think they are. The house of  illusion is not a hell to which anyone has been banished. It can at
T3:11.13 You must not see your brothers and sisters within the house of  illusion but must see them where they truly are—within the House of
T3:11.13 —within the House of Truth. As soon as you would “see” the house of  illusion, you would make it real, and with its reality judgment would
T3:11.15 learn lessons of the new you will be seeing how the lessons of the  illusion can be useful in a new way to your brothers and sisters as
T3:11.15 Do not be afraid to use anything available within the house of  illusion to promote the recognition of truth. Do not be afraid of the
T3:11.15 promote the recognition of truth. Do not be afraid of the house of  illusion at all. What illusion can frighten those who know the truth?
T3:11.15 of truth. Do not be afraid of the house of illusion at all. What  illusion can frighten those who know the truth?
T3:11.16 It comes to remind you, as you replace the thought system of  illusion with the thought system of the truth, that having remembered
T3:13.4 the new thought system of the truth; accepting the truth and leaving  illusion behind. The new thought system is simple to learn. What is
T3:13.4 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 to not
T3:14.2 learned and becoming aware that for a while you but flirted with  illusion. This flirting with illusion is like unto the temptations of
T3:14.2 that for a while you but flirted with illusion. This flirting with  illusion is like unto the temptations of the human experience and
T3:14.8 What you would keep is of love. What you would leave behind is of  illusion.
T3:14.11 now and allow the self that you would blame to pass away into the  illusion from which it came. Remember that bitterness, like the ego,
T3:15.11 through the same methods that have been used in the past to learn  illusion. This Course teaches that love cannot be learned. I have
T3:15.17 to be in the past, you will not be living by the truth but by  illusion.
T3:15.18  Illusion is the “truth” by which you have lived. The total
T3:15.18 is the “truth” by which you have lived. The total replacement of  illusion with the truth is what the new thought system will
T3:16.3 ego has not brought an end to suffering or strife, nor made of this  illusion a happy dream.
T3:16.14 is with the truth and that you no longer have a relationship with  illusion. All of your fears in regards to special relationships are
T3:16.15 special for you will see the truth of who they are rather than the  illusion of who you would have them be.
T3:16.16 and all encompassing. Nothing but the truth is all encompassing.  Illusion is made of parts that do not form real connections but that
T3:16.16 they came. The cement that was used to hold together the house of  illusion was only your fear.
T3:16.17 it has always encompassed you, even unto encompassing the house of  illusion that you made to obscure it from yourself.
T3:17.6 Spirit is always called upon to return the true Self to the self of  illusion. A Holy Spirit is called to return to your mind and heart.
T3:17.7 other names have represented the truth and in so doing dispelled  illusion within themselves and those who followed their teachings and
T3:17.8 Holy Spirit, unlike God the Creator, has known the existence of the  illusion and the thought system of the ego-self and been able to

T3:17.8 finite has an end point and this is that end point for the time of  illusion. The return of Christ, or your ability and willingness to
T3:17.8 true Self, to live in the House of Truth rather than the house of  illusion, is what will end the time of illusion. Just as the truth is
T3:17.8 rather than the house of illusion, is what will end the time of  illusion. Just as the truth is the truth and illusion is illusion;
T3:17.8 will end the time of illusion. Just as the truth is the truth and  illusion is illusion; just as these things are what they are without
T3:17.8 the time of illusion. Just as the truth is the truth and illusion is  illusion; just as these things are what they are without judgment; so
T3:17.8 Spirit, or the time in which communication was needed between the  illusion and the truth, must end in order for the truth to become the

T3:18.9 system. If it is no longer instructed by the thought system of  illusion, it is natural to realize that it will now be instructed by
T3:19.1 by the thought system of the truth rather than the thought system of  illusion. You will fear these changes less if you realize that all
T3:19.11 expressions are meaningless and have no effect in truth but only in  illusion. To live in truth is to live without fear of the meaningless
T3:19.11 is to live without fear of the meaningless acts of those living in  illusion because they will be unable to cause effect in the House of
T3:19.14 uncomfortable and even rage-producing for those still living in  illusion. But it will be much more tempting to be divisive,
T3:19.14 those living in the new. Many who observe the new from the house of  illusion will still be able to deny what they see. Just think of how
T3:19.15 You will be tempted to return to the house of  illusion to gather those within and bid them join you in the reality
T3:19.15 convincing. You cannot argue the case of truth in the courtroom of  illusion.

T3:20.1 By saying that there is no longer any time to be wasted on  illusion we are saying that you will no longer serve time but that
T3:20.1 longer serve time but that time will serve you. Time was wasted on  illusion and so but seemed to become a master that made of you a
T3:20.1 be thought of in a new way, a way that has to do with effectiveness.  Illusion has at its base a false cause and so no effects that exist
T3:20.2 was no sense to be made of concepts such as more or less within  illusion, and although more or less are concepts also foreign to the
T3:20.8 such situations in a new way, but all situations within the house of  illusion call for the same response, the response of love to love.
T3:20.11 It is a learning that must not change to fit the circumstances of  illusion but be unchanging to fit the circumstances of the truth.
T3:20.12 You can no longer return to the house of  illusion, not even to cause explosions within it. You have stepped
T3:20.15 of old. They do not work! To minister to those within the house of  illusion is to offer the temporary to the temporary when I call you
T3:20.15 You cannot call others to abandon their willingness to live in  illusion by joining them there! You can only call others to a
T3:20.15 joining them there! You can only call others to a willingness to set  illusion aside and to begin the journey home to unity. You can only
T3:20.17 See not what love would not have you see. Turn from the dark ways of  illusion and shine the light of truth for all to see. Remain who you

T3:22.13 category, a category that only exists in the dualistic world of  illusion where here and now is separate from what will be. In the new
T3:22.13 truth reigns, there is no cause for tension for there is no world of  illusion where what is, is separate from what will be.
T4:1.2 It will, however, be conclusive. It will separate truth from  illusion in ways that will make some uncomfortable. It will continue
T4:1.11 These are the only two choices, the choices between truth and  illusion, fear and love, unity and separation, now and later. What
T4:1.12 was said within “A Treatise on the Personal Self,” even the house of  illusion is held within the embrace of love, of God, of the truth.
T4:1.16 is in this way that the truth of the past still lives and that the  illusion of the past never was.
T4:2.7 But before we can proceed forward, I must return to and dispel any  illusion you may have of superiority over those who came before. That
T4:2.16 you now have within you, the power to observe the truth rather than  illusion. This is the power to observe what is. This is
D:2.10 seemed to work for you in the past. That they seemed to work is the  illusion that will give way as you deny yourself access to the old so
D:2.18 systems because these systems are based upon misperceptions or  illusion. Your desire to cling to systems that are not foolproof is
D:3.4 the old must be vanquished in order for the truth to triumph over  illusion.
D:3.13 awareness in form of what has previously been hidden by the mists of  illusion is the more challenging task.

D:Day8.13 you have been told that your real Self will be intolerant only of  illusion and that this intolerance will take the form of seeing only
D:Day8.13 the form of seeing only the truth rather than attempting to combat  illusion. Thus when you see others gossiping, you are called to see
D:Day8.13 are called to see only the truth of who they are—to see beyond the  illusion, what would seem to be the “fact” of their gossip—to the
D:Day8.17 so late in our time together. To accept the feelings of the self of  illusion would have been to accept the feelings generated by the fear
D:Day8.18 You will think that you know the real from the unreal, truth from  illusion, and so will disregard the feelings of others as if they do
D:Day8.19 seem confusing? To be called to see only the truth, to see beyond  illusion, and then to be told to accept the feelings of others? It
D:Day8.19 feelings of anyone—not those living in truth, or those living in  illusion—in disregard. This disregard is a temptation of those who

D:Day36.12 thus existence without relationship to the power of creation. The  illusion is an illusion of simply being. Is this not how you have
D:Day36.12 without relationship to the power of creation. The illusion is an  illusion of simply being. Is this not how you have seen yourself? As

D:Day9.10 you believe to be the spiritual titan you still but hope to be. Your  image of an ideal self may have sprung from your reading, from
D:Day9.10 to your ideas of being able to express wisdom or compassion. The  image of the ideal self you hold in your mind, no matter what form it
D:Day9.10 you hold in your mind, no matter what form it takes, is still an  image, and must now be done without if you are going to realize
D:Day9.11 false images. Isn’t it possible that none are more false than this  image of an ideal self? Not having false idols is an ancient
D:Day9.11 self? Not having false idols is an ancient commandment. An ideal  image is an idol. It is symbolic rather than real. It has form only
D:Day9.11 To work toward, or to have as a goal, the achievement of an ideal  image is to have created a false god.
D:Day9.12 Realize now that your ideal  image, no matter how it was formed, is a product of the time of

C:P.7 It is easy to  imagine how the Christ in you differs from your ego but not as easy
C:3.2 learn is already accomplished. It is accomplished in you. It is you.  Imagine the ocean or the cheetah, the sun or the moon or God Himself,
C:3.4 and everyone around you, those you see and those you only can  imagine. To seek the “face” of God, even in the form of Christ, is to
C:4.12 whose love is blind and self-sacrificing. Still others of you might  imagine a couple long married in which each person is devoted to the
C:6.20 of the body, without the limits placed upon those who remain? You  imagine them still in bodily form, perhaps, yet you imagine them

C:9.28 implausible as to be beyond your acceptance? Is it so impossible to  imagine that what God created was distorted by your desire to have
C:9.34 and the world, restoring it to a previous condition that you  imagine you know. In this scenario God is like unto your banker
C:12.17 not splinter off and become something on their own apart from you.  Imagine this occurring and you will see how senseless this situation
C:14.16 must be some reason for your existence—although you cannot quite  imagine what that reason might be. You must be meant to be because
C:14.31 All that is lost is specialness. This is the view of life you cannot  imagine bringing about, or bringing joy in its coming. But this is
C:14.31 or bringing joy in its coming. But this is what you must begin to  imagine if you desire to accept love’s coming instead of to reject it
C:18.2  Imagine that you are part of a chain of bodies holding hands and

C:18.5 This chain I have described helps you to  imagine the place I hold for you, as you held mine when I entered the

C:27.10 can you be other than relationship itself? Can God? Can you  imagine relationship rather than singular objects and bodies, as all
C:29.10 the world as your Father’s work is his service to you. As you cannot  imagine God toiling, so you should cease to imagine your Self doing
C:29.10 to you. As you cannot imagine God toiling, so you should cease to  imagine your Self doing thus.
T1:1.11 You can already  imagine what an extensive change this will bring, and, as you are

T1:4.15 for a creator not to respond to what has been created—this would  indeed be a travesty! This would be antithetical to the laws of

T2:7.2 strangers. It is the very independence of others that makes your own  independence seem so important to you. Dependency is not consistent
T2:7.6 the ego will take every opportunity that arises to prove to you that  independence is a far better state than that of dependence. It will
T2:7.6 to convince you that any course that tries to take away your  independence should be resisted. As long as you continue to listen to
T2:7.13 and still be of service. For as long as you believe in your  independence you will not accept your dependence. You will not accept
T3:2.3 the world around you and your role within it. Separation, aloneness,  independence, individuality—these became the purpose you assumed
T3:2.5 this belief was the belief that with each successful step toward  independence came a corresponding step away from God. As independence
T3:2.5 step toward independence came a corresponding step away from God. As  independence seemed to be your purpose here, you could not keep

D:Day28.4 the next stage of movement begins, that of external movement toward  independence. With this movement, the number of choices increase and
D:Day28.4 matures beyond school age, the choices become those of degrees of  independence, moving away, moving into one’s own sphere of friends,
D:Day33.13 Many a teenager develops full realization of the power of their  independence. In other words, you each have claimed some type of

T1:4.17 something. What you have decided that this means is that you are an  independent thinker, something you have prized. Some of you will
T2:7.1 We have talked much in this Course of your desire to be  independent without looking at the condition of dependency that you

T2:7.1 on a negative meaning specifically in contrast to your desire to be  independent. One of your greatest fears is thus of a condition that
T2:7.13 change without, without having effected change within. You cannot be  independent and still be of service. For as long as you believe in
T3:2.3 your free will as that which allows you to be separate from and  independent of God. Once this assumption was accepted, the duality of
T3:2.12 only desire was for you to “grow up” into its version of an  independent being—no matter what the cost.

T4:1.19 Many came to know the truth by  indirect means and shared what they came to know through similarly
T4:1.19 indirect means and shared what they came to know through similarly  indirect means. This is the nature of learning and of sharing in
T4:1.19 Means and end are one. Cause and effect are the same. It is these  indirect means of communicating the truth that have led to your

T4:1.27 this state of consciousness and to pass on what they learned through  indirect means. Fewer were able to achieve a state of consciousness

C:P.26 called one species, the human species. Within this family of man are  individual families, and among them, that which you call “your”
C:5.22 no exertion on your part, is seen to be of little value. The  individual, you reason, is made through all this effort and struggle
C:5.22 not be. In this you are correct, for as you make of yourself an  individual, you deny yourself your union with all others.
C:5.23 All your efforts to be an  individual are concentrated on the life of your body. Your

C:9.38 “spending your time” wisely, and you call yourself a “well-rounded  individual.” As long as more than this is not sought, more than this
C:9.41 you run the race you will know it not. Competition that leads to  individual achievement has become the idol you would glorify, and you

C:16.16 proves the opposite of what you would care to believe. The more the  individual, society, and culture indulge in the desire to judge, the
C:21.8 instances this is considered moral conflict, an example being the  individual knowing the “right” thing to do but acting instead on what
C:22.19 The personal and  individual is the “I” we are dispelling. Think a moment of how you
C:22.19 with the small “I.” “I saw.” “I felt.” “I thought.” “I did.” The  individual, personal, separated self is at the center of all such
C:23.23 There is no quick route to this purging, as it is the most  individual of accomplishments. As you learned your beliefs, you must

T1:6.7 Memory, or how you relate to past experiences, is what makes each  individual unique. A family can share many similar experiences
T3:4.7 build another in its place and this has at times been done in the  individual with great training, as in military training, or in cases

T4:12.25 you have already achieved all that was possible to achieve as an  individual. The purpose of individual learning was the return of
T4:12.25 all that was possible to achieve as an individual. The purpose of  individual learning was the return of unity! Pause a moment here, and
T4:12.28 in the pattern of Christ-consciousness. Love continues. The  individual or singular consciousness that was appropriate to the time
D:7.18 vision, and desire are steps leading you beyond what the  individual, separated self sees, to the revelation of what is. These
D:10.3 do with them, how you express them in the world, is your unique and  individual accomplishment. Such it is. But when you also think that
D:10.4 form in your form’s separate reality, is not of union but of the  individual self. You may feel that to think of this in any other way
D:10.4 feel that to think of this in any other way will leave you with no  individual, personal accomplishment, nothing to be proud of, nothing
D:10.6 and multiply.” It is about increase. To be content with personal or  individual understanding or experience of what is given is to not
D:11.15 elevated Self of form. Why would you retain your desire to make an  individual contribution, when you can now make a contribution such as
D:11.15 infinitely greater than the contributions that are possible for the  individual, separated self to make? Is not the history of your world
D:11.15 separated self to make? Is not the history of your world filled with  individual contributions of incredible scope?
D:11.16 you still believe that the contribution made by the man Jesus was an  individual contribution? I tell you truthfully that the only
D:11.16 they miss the point of their own lives. Those who do so seek to make  individual contributions as important men and women and do not seek
D:11.16 what is the truth of who we all are rather than the truth of who the  individual is.
D:11.17 There is no truth inherent in the  individual, separated self, but only illusion. Illusion can be

D:Day5.22 what “you” could only work hard to attain, and thereby claim as your  individual accomplishment. Obviously, union is not about this. While
D:Day10.19 prior to this point, unready to give up image for presence, the  individual for the universal, reliance on an outside source for
D:Day10.19 you are and Christ-consciousness, of union and presence, of the  individual and the universal, is what the elevated Self of form must
D:Day13.1 beginning of time now know themselves as the many and the one, the  individual and the collective. This is the knowing in relationship
D:Day13.3 it so that you are both the many and the one. The oneness that your  individual self represents in this life is the oneness of the Holy
D:Day13.3 the Holy One who is both one—somewhat in the way you think of the  individual self—and All.
D:Day15.16 is a form of “group think.” Never will you feel more like an  individual than when you are made known through the informing of
D:Day17.5 of the man, Jesus, did not express that realization but negated the  individual in favor of the “spiritual.”
D:Day17.9 and full expression of Christ-consciousness in form. Each did so in  individual ways, ways that revealed the choices available to those
D:Day17.10 individuals as well. The way was a choice. The main ability of the  individual is the ability to represent what God created, the means of
D:Day17.10 means of coming to know—which is Christ-consciousness—through  individual choice or will.
D:Day18.5 of the self and the resurrection of the One Self, the end of the  individual and the individuation of the One Self amongst the many.
D:Day22.3 it is a combination of the universal (what is available) with the  individual (what is expressed). Whether one chooses to avail oneself
D:Day22.3 (what is available) is channeled through the expression of (the  individual) desires.
D:Day33.13 Power is one in being with each and every one of us. Every single  individual has within them the power to affect, change, or recreate
D:Day33.13 the power to affect, change, or recreate the world. Every single  individual does so to the extent to which they realize their power. A

C:11.1 your source. All of your fierce determination to hang on to your  individuality stems from this confusion. If your “source” were truly
C:22.23 for the personal. Even so, you will find that what you consider your  individuality or uniqueness is very much intact, but that it is
C:23.2 a long way in assuaging your remaining fears about the loss of your  individuality that you believe will accompany the loss of your
T2:13.1 separate and alone in order to be fulfilled under the mantle of  individuality. You have been told to put on a new mantle, a new
T3:2.3 you and your role within it. Separation, aloneness, independence,  individuality—these became the purpose you assumed rather than the
D:11.5 bastion of your separated self, the fertile ground, still, of your  individuality, your testimony that you believe you are still on your
D:11.5 and that you still desire to be, for only here, in this area of your  individuality, do you believe you make your contributions to the
D:13.8 state is synonymous with the personal self, with the idea of  individuality, with separate thoughts, and with the idea that no one

C:18.11 learning from separation, however, each must experience unity  individually before their belief system can be changed, even when
T4:6.1 is possible, because you make it so. It is your interaction, both  individually and collectively with the consciousness that is us, that
T4:12.4 This prelude will address them  individually and collectively, and as you join with them in unity,
T4:12.4 join with them in unity, you will realize that it also addresses you  individually and as part of the collectivity of the whole. This
D:7.3 because you were learning in separation, unity had to be experienced  individually before learning could be shared at another level, and
A.20 Collectively and  individually, you have come to a level of frustration with what can

individuals (11)

C:7.3 is each individual distinct and separate, but so too are groups of  individuals, pieces of land, systems and organizations, the natural
C:7.14 that of the average man or woman. You pit yourself not only against  individuals but groups and nations, teams and organizations,
C:9.43 you live in a world of supply and demand. From the simple concept of  individuals needing to be in relationship to survive has grown this
D:Day3.4 accepting of these “outside” attempts at influence. You, who as both  individuals and as a species, have been conditioned by thousands of
D:Day17.5 There have always been  individuals who challenged the predominant patterns of learning
D:Day17.5 Jesus, who fully expressed Christ-consciousness in form, did so as  individuals, by not negating their being as they realized this
D:Day17.10 Both ways were represented and demonstrated by many other  individuals as well. The way was a choice. The main ability of the

A.34 admiration, respect, and status, are now a thing of the past. What  individuals may well be looking for is their reward for the

individuate (9)

D:Day33.14 This is the power of being. The power to  individuate the Self. The power to be who you are. This is power and
D:Day37.2 who you are, because being, by itself, does not differentiate or  individuate you.
D:Day37.3 relationship, like being and experience, does not differentiate or  individuate you in separation as it does in union. Separation and the
D:Day39.3 we are all one being, we must either extend or project in order to  individuate and be in relationship. You are an extension of I Am into
D:Day39.12 me. In other words, as you are individuated, so too am I. We jointly  individuate rather than separate. We can only do this in
D:Day39.35 without attributes can be one in being in union and relationship and  individuate. Could you become your sister or your brother? A tree
D:Day39.47 You will realize that as we  individuate we are in a constant state of creation as well as of
D:Day40.28 with you create. You give attributes and you take on attributes. You  individuate your being in union and relationship. And in union and
D:Day40.30 With this ability to  individuate in unity and relationship comes the greatest gift of all.

individuated (27)

D:Day18.4 full acceptance of the Self in a form that can be distinguished, or  individuated from the rest. It is full acceptance of difference as
D:Day18.11 through relationship in which the relationship, rather than the  individuated self, becomes the known. Both ways are ways of creation.
D:Day19.10 It differs only in that the example is not an example of an  individuated life but an example of the union and relationship that
D:Day19.12 make the unknown known. One makes the unknown known through  individuated example lives. One makes the unknown known through
D:Day19.16 This is very tricky for those who reach highly  individuated states and it is necessary for those of the way of Mary
D:Day29.1 be real for us. Wholeness and separation, God and man, life and the  individuated self, what you do and who you are, the eternal and the
D:Day31.6 of knower and knowee. It is the One Self knowing itself as one  individuated Self.
D:Day31.8 within, with the knowing, or experiencing, of the One within the  individuated Self. Notice the link here of knowing and experiencing.
D:Day31.8 Self as creator, or in other words, to know the One Self within the  individuated Self. To know the One Self within the individuated Self
D:Day31.8 Self within the individuated Self. To know the One Self within the  individuated Self is to join the two. The two are thus joined in the
D:Day31.8 Self and God are one and experiencing together in wholeness. For the  individuated Self to experience separately from God is to negate the
D:Day33.6 You are being a who. Your who is your  individuated self. But your who is also your representation of being.
D:Day33.6 who is also your representation of being. The two becoming one—the  individuated self becoming one in being—is the aim toward which we
D:Day37.10 only Jesus but Christ. Not only Christ but Jesus. Not separated but  individuated. You realize that the call for the second coming of
D:Day37.18 Certainly you “feel” like an  individuated being, a unique being. You “feel” love and you feel
D:Day37.25 God was all of Jesus while at the same time each was different or  individuated by being in union and relationship.
D:Day38.11 difference between I Am and who I Am. Who is an acknowledgment of  individuated or differentiated being in union and relationship.
D:Day39.2 this answer, not even me, because this is the nature of who we are.  Individuated beings are who we are in relationship to one another.
D:Day39.6 from you. But it is a revelation that can only come to you as an  individuated being in union and relationship. This is what makes it a
D:Day39.8 in unity because the boundaries of separation have fallen. To be  individuated being in union and relationship is to be Christ, to
D:Day39.9 as Christ, or as the bridge of relationship between all that is  individuated in union and relationship.
D:Day39.10 you realize that relationship is the intermediary link between  individuated beings and that you hold this link, through relationship
D:Day39.12 thing and another. In this instance it is the connection between two  individuated beings in union and relationship. You and me. In order
D:Day39.12 words, there must be a you and a me. In other words, as you are  individuated, so too am I. We jointly individuate rather than
D:Day39.12 can only do this in relationship. We can only have relationship as  individuated beings.
D:Day39.47 state of creation as well as of creative tension. As we become  individuated beings in union and relationship, we continuously create
D:Day40.12 with attributes. Now you are being in union and relationship—an  individuated being with attributes. As a separate being, your

T4:12.8 is that it exists in unity. It is given and received in unity.  Intermediary steps were needed only for the separate state. All
T4:12.8 were needed only for the separate state. All conditions that were  intermediary in nature during the time of learning, are, during the

D:13.12 These are actions of the separated self attempting to fulfill  intermediary functions. Relationship, or union, is what negates the
D:13.12 functions. Relationship, or union, is what negates the need for such  intermediary functions. By being who you are, and seeing others as

D:Day19.8 are those who thought of Jesus in such a way. Neither demonstrated  intermediary functions but demonstrated direct union with God. Each
D:Day21.7 of knowledge is now an act of giving and receiving as one. No  intermediary is needed when you exist in union. It is recognized that
D:Day22.2 in reference to spirituality, it has often been used to indicate an  intermediary function. The channeler was perhaps seen as a mediator
D:Day22.2 and unknown states. The teacher in the example used was also an  intermediary with the separation being between the known and the

T1:4.16 you look upon and see without the obstacle of the ego-mind’s  interpretation.
T1:4.17 Let us speak a moment of this  interpretation. That each of you interprets what you see, read, hear,
T1:4.17 something you have prized. Some of you will accept another’s  interpretation of meaning if it is helpful to you, saves you time, or
T1:4.17 everything on your own. Without further discussion, you would see  interpretation and response quite similarly and this would but lead
T1:4.18 and not dependent upon your definition of it. A response is not an  interpretation. A response is an expression of who you are rather
T1:4.19 You who have thought that your  interpretation of events and feelings has given them their meaning—
T1:4.19 This is not your responsibility. You who have thought that your  interpretation of situations and the feelings they have aroused have
T1:4.19 apply the art of thought rather than the thinking of the ego-mind.  Interpretation but gives you opinions about those things that you
T1:4.20 The joy you have thought has come to you from an  interpretation that is uniquely your own is as nothing compared to
T1:4.20 that is uniquely you. But you must give up your penchant for  interpretation before you can learn to respond. I realize that this
T1:4.20 you continue to not realize the difference between response and  interpretation. The only way for this concern to have the chance to

T4:1.20 But these indirect means of communication left much open to  interpretation. Different interpretations of indirectly received

C:21.7 will not find peace. You have, in the past, accepted these different  interpretations as natural. You see that there are two ways of

C:22.6  Intersection is often seen as a division between rather than as a
C:22.6 idea of division, and they help to show that even what is divided by  intersection remains whole.
C:22.7 The image of  intersection is simply meant to represent the point where the world
C:22.7 you to feel or believe in a certain way—and it is at this point of  intersection that not only relationship, but partnership is found.
C:22.7 are not apparent. Partnership is thus equated with productive  intersection rather than intersection itself.
C:22.7 Partnership is thus equated with productive intersection rather than  intersection itself.
C:22.9 Yet it is the passing through that creates the  intersection. Everything within your world and your day must pass
C:22.12 In contrast, the layered approach to  intersection causes you to feel as if external forces are bombarding
C:22.20 through you rather than getting stopped for examination at its  intersection with you. Begin to imagine seeing the world without the
D:Day5.21 discussed as passing through the onion in the Course chapter “The  Intersection,” and imagine the point of intersection connecting with
D:Day5.21 in the Course chapter “The Intersection,” and imagine the point of  intersection connecting with your chosen access point. Imagine this
D:Day5.21 relationship you have with unity while in form—a relationship of  intersection and pass-through.
D:Day5.25 A focus point is a point of convergence. A focal point is a point of  intersection that gives rise to a clear image.
D:Day5.26 The  intersection spoken of here is that of pass-through. Although we have
D:Day6.1 comprised of. We are in an in-between state of time. We stand at the  intersection point of the finite and the infinite in order to
