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:Day38.14 | from love, which is the source and substance of who we are being. | I Am being you. You are being me. In this equation is fullness of |
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:Day39.3 | order to individuate and be in relationship. You are an extension of | I Am into form. Through your extension, you can become who you are to |
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 | 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:Day40.8 | 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:3.10 | 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: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 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 |
T4:4.4 | Even before the planet reached the state of over-population, this | idea was much in evidence. The passing of a parent was seen, |
T4:4.5 | in the form of the “son of God.” In the time in which I lived, the | idea of inheritance was an even stronger idea, an idea with much more |
T4:4.5 | time in which I lived, the idea of inheritance was an even stronger | idea, an idea with much more power than in current times. Inherent |
T4:4.5 | which I lived, the idea of inheritance was an even stronger idea, an | idea with much more power than in current times. Inherent within the |
T4:4.5 | idea with much more power than in current times. Inherent within the | idea of inheritance was an idea of passing as well as an idea of |
T4:4.5 | in current times. Inherent within the idea of inheritance was an | idea of passing as well as an idea of continuity. What belonged to |
T4:4.5 | within the idea of inheritance was an idea of passing as well as an | idea of continuity. What belonged to the Father passed to the son and |
T4:4.7 | This | idea of inheritance is a natural idea arising from the nature of |
T4:4.7 | This idea of inheritance is a natural | idea arising from the nature of creation itself. It is an idea of |

T4:4.17 | Can you not see the necessity of removing the | idea that your true Self will be returned to you only through death? |
T4:12.10 | however, to find what an enormous difference the release of this | idea will make in your capacity to express who you are. As long as |
T4:12.10 | be vigilant of your thought patterns so that you eradicate the | idea of learning in separation and replace it with the idea of |

T4:12.13 | But what of the questions it raises? Do you not respond to the | idea of continual contentment with doubt? Not only doubt that it can |
T4:12.13 | them behind? Are you willing, for instance, to leave behind the | idea that contentment cannot and should not last? That lasting |
T4:12.13 | peace, would somehow stunt your growth? Can you see that your | idea of growth was synonymous with your idea of learning? That you |
T4:12.13 | Can you see that your idea of growth was synonymous with your | idea of learning? That you were always both awaiting and dreading |
T4:12.18 | past. Spread the joyous news! Tell only joyous stories. Advance the | idea of joyous challenges that allow for all the creativity you have |
T4:12.18 | into challenges of the past but without the struggle. Let not the | idea of struggle take hold in the new. Let not the idea of fear take |
T4:12.18 | Let not the idea of struggle take hold in the new. Let not the | idea of fear take hold in the new. Let not the idea of judgment take |
T4:12.18 | the new. Let not the idea of fear take hold in the new. Let not the | idea of judgment take hold in the new. Announce far and wide freedom |
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:3.8 | Treatise on Unity and Its Recognition”. Let’s talk of this now as an | idea, rather than as something learned, and as an idea for you to |
D:3.8 | of this now as an idea, rather than as something learned, and as an | idea for you to carry forward with you into the new. This is the |
D:3.11 | and receiving are one in truth is best understood by taking away the | idea of one who gives and one who receives. If all are one, such |
D:3.11 | all are one, such ideas make no sense. This would seem to make the | idea of giving and receiving as one senseless as well. In a way, this |
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:3.14 | Giving and receiving as one has become one in form as well as one in | idea. What this means, simply stated once again, is that giving and |
D:4.3 | It is time now for this | idea to be accepted, for if it is not, you will remain in the prison |
D:4.5 | For the moment, disregard any | idea you may have of there being those who deserve the prison system |
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:4.14 | are both divinely inspired and products of the separated self. The | idea of giving and receiving as one might be thought of as a divinely |
D:6.19 | see that these attitudes are not ruled by certainty, but by a mere | idea of bettering the odds against what fate may offer. |
D:6.20 | Like all the systems you believe in, it is a system too, an internal | idea given a name, externalized, and blamed for all that you do not |
D:8.2 | is needed. Ah, you might say now, this you have heard before. This | idea of no longer needing to learn has intrigued you since it was |
D:8.3 | ideas we leave behind as we concentrate instead on the very simple | idea of each of you containing a natural ability or talent that |
D:8.3 | in some form prior to the time of learning. We concentrate on this | idea merely as an idea and not in terms of the specific ability it |
D:8.3 | to the time of learning. We concentrate on this idea merely as an | idea and not in terms of the specific ability it may represent. We |
D:8.3 | of the specific ability it may represent. We concentrate on this | idea as the first parameter of the territory of your conscious |
D:8.5 | neither earned nor worked hard to attain. To imagine this as an | idea is to imagine this “given” Self as the Self that exists beyond |
D:8.6 | This | idea will aid you too in your understanding of discovery, as your |
D:8.7 | conscious awareness. Thus, like the home in which you reside, the | idea that you have an already existing awareness of the Source of |
D:9.5 | learning self. When it was said within this Course that you are an | idea of God, and when ideas were spoken of as if they were synonymous |
D:9.12 | previous learning and thinking merely resulted eventually in a new | idea being birthed, but this is not the case. Heredity can be cited |
D:9.12 | but that which already exists within you? So too is it with an | idea. An idea already exists within you, but is awaiting its birth |
D:9.12 | that which already exists within you? So too is it with an idea. An | idea already exists within you, but is awaiting its birth through you. |
D:11.2 | dear brothers and sisters, is insane. To think of the thought or | idea of God by which you were created as the same type of thought I |
D:11.3 | I am and I extend what I am. This dialogue is that extension. God’s | idea of you extended and became you and me and all the sons and |
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:11.8 | Now I return you to your | idea of how these words have come to you, for if you can fully accept |
D:11.13 | tell you something of the nature of who you are if you but let this | idea dwell within you and take up residence in your heart. We are the |
D:12.2 | them either through her thoughts or through her ears, as in the | idea of “hearing” words. The receiver of these words, in fact, |
D:12.9 | as a condition of mindfulness, and mindfulness is much closer to the | idea of wholeheartedness, or sharing in unity—the state of which we |
D:12.10 | in a reflective moment at the end of the day. Again we will see the | idea of thoughts “coming to you” at such times. This is not the |
D:12.12 | I am attempting to help you to become aware and comfortable with the | idea that, released of old patterns, the self will join with unity |
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:12.13 | of the body, but it may also at times not be of the body. The main | idea to hold in your mind and heart is the idea of entry, and the |
D:12.13 | be of the body. The main idea to hold in your mind and heart is the | idea of entry, and the idea that what comes of unity does not need |
D:12.13 | idea to hold in your mind and heart is the idea of entry, and the | idea that what comes of unity does not need access through your |
D:12.13 | or any of what you consider to be your senses. Along with this main | idea it is essential for you to realize that this is not so strange |
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:13.4 | come in a flash, and is, in a sense, a humorous metaphor for the | idea of a divine “ray” of light descending and granting |
D:13.8 | This perceived state is synonymous with the personal self, with the | idea of individuality, with separate thoughts, and with the idea that |
D:13.8 | with the idea of individuality, with separate thoughts, and with the | idea that no one will ever be able to truly know you. But join with |
D:13.11 | now to the second part of what we are exploring together here, the | idea that what you come to know may literally not be sharable with |
D:14.2 | Here it will be helpful to keep in mind the | idea of “as within, so without.” We are not leaving the Self to |
D:14.9 | of unity in which all exist along with you, was advanced by the | idea of acceptance you took to heart earlier, and paves the way for |
D:14.12 | form or manifestation. You already are manifest in form, and so the | idea of becoming that has been with humankind throughout time must |
D:15.2 | examples to illustrate the principle of movement as life itself, the | idea of lack of movement as lack of life. |
D:15.16 | is maintained and sustained. Let us begin with the | idea of maintenance and proceed to the idea of sustenance. |
D:15.16 | Let us begin with the idea of maintenance and proceed to the | idea of sustenance. |
D:15.17 | of as a lasting measure, which is the primary difference between the | idea of maintenance and the idea of sustenance. |
D:15.17 | is the primary difference between the idea of maintenance and the | idea of sustenance. |
D:15.19 | And so we begin with the | idea of maintenance of your relationship with unity. You have |
D:15.21 | Let this | idea enter you now. You have left behind the conditions of learning. |
D:Day1.18 | moment of Adam and Eve and the fall from paradise. Let us extend our | idea of the creation story to include the creation of man and woman. |
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:Day3.12 | of here. It is the base idea that is behind all ideas of lack, an | idea you so thoroughly learned during the time of learning that |
D:Day3.12 | it go, even now, still torments you with worry and anger. It is the | idea of an “if this, then that” world. An idea of a world in which |
D:Day3.12 | worry and anger. It is the idea of an “if this, then that” world. An | idea of a world in which the beliefs set forth within this Course are |
D:Day3.13 | This is the basic fallacy that the time of learning supported. The | idea of “if this, then that.” The idea of abundance earned. The idea |
D:Day3.13 | time of learning supported. The idea of “if this, then that.” The | idea of abundance earned. The idea of nothing being truly free. Not |
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:Day3.40 | and can be returned to later. The point here is your “concept” or | idea about what you have gained from unity thus far being that which |
D:Day3.41 | The | idea I am trying to open to you here is the idea of a responsive |
D:Day3.41 | The idea I am trying to open to you here is the | idea of a responsive relationship with unity that does not exist only |
D:Day3.49 | money, or taking actions, right-actions now, as opposed to your | idea of the wrong-actions of the past, in order to bring money or |
D:Day3.54 | ideas and great talent is of consequence, and this is true. A great | idea or great talent that is not brought into form, that is not |
D:Day3.54 | is no greater than a seed not planted. But the gift of the great | idea, the great talent, must first be seen and recognized, |
D:Day3.54 | would accept and receive it, express and share it. “If I had a great | idea,” I would accept and receive it, express it and share it. And |
D:Day4.19 | claiming of disciples. The term disciple can be linked here with the | idea of succession. What I asked of my disciples is not more than I |
D:Day4.35 | your own access to heaven. You might think that if you stretch your | idea of reality just a little bit farther, stretch your mind just a |
D:Day4.38 | love of the natural world, of the world of form that is, love of the | idea of the new world that can be, all of these must come together |
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:Day6.7 | piece originally intended, or it might be quite true to the original | idea. |
D:Day6.9 | piece of music exists in relationship to its creator. Be it only an | idea, a partially completed rhythm, lyrics without notes, or a |
D:Day6.9 | when it is a complete, and full, and true expression of the artist’s | idea, however, will it and the artist be one. |
D:Day7.1 | What does the | idea of only now coming to acceptance imply but that you were |
D:Day7.5 | can be degenerating to you. While you always were supported, the | idea of learning that you accepted during the time of learning was |
D:Day8.1 | course of this dialogue may have been, at least subconsciously, the | idea of removing yourself from normal life. Even the conditions of |
D:Day8.26 | The very | idea of potential, you may recall, is a product of the ego thought |
D:Day9.9 | Let’s begin this day with a consideration of the | idea that you may have an inaccurate idea of an ideal self. |
D:Day9.9 | day with a consideration of the idea that you may have an inaccurate | idea of an ideal self. |
D:Day9.16 | The | idea of your “potential” was a useful learning tool and one that |
D:Day9.16 | the purposes of the Holy Spirit as well as those of the ego. The | idea of your “potential” and your ability to be “more” than what your |
D:Day10.15 | you need to feel in the self of form. Reflect further on your | idea of certainty coming from a place “other than” the self. Realize |
D:Day10.27 | peaceful and free of the constraints of the body. This is as good an | idea as I can give you of how to imagine the elevated Self of form, |
D:Day10.28 | Let’s continue with this | idea a while longer as you consider a particular person you fondly |
D:Day18.6 | of all that is temporary. This is why we have spent time on the | idea of sickness and other unwanted states as temporary |
D:Day20.10 | Apply the art of thought to this | idea and you will complete the first transition. |
D:Day22.2 | Let’s look at the | idea of channeling as simply an idea of expressing, but an idea of |
D:Day22.2 | Let’s look at the idea of channeling as simply an | idea of expressing, but an idea of expression that is given and |
D:Day22.2 | at the idea of channeling as simply an idea of expressing, but an | idea of expression that is given and received, received and given. |
D:Day22.2 | and the dead or the world of spirit and the world of humanity. This | idea separated the living and the dead, the spiritual and the human |
D:Day22.2 | important to discuss this in as many ways as possible to make this | idea clear to you. You are life, and you are also surrounded by |
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 |
D:Day33.1 | forth in “A Treatise on the New”: That all are chosen. To embrace an | idea of some having power while others remain powerless is to embrace |
D:Day33.1 | of some having power while others remain powerless is to embrace an | idea laden with conflict. The power of God exists within everyone |

D:Day35.7 | an idea of sameness come to replace an idea of specialness, an | idea of accomplishment and union here and now come to replace all |

D:Day36.19 | be able to reach this place where you may be able to accept this new | idea which is simply the truth. It is the same truth that has been |
D:Day36.19 | here in many different ways to allow you to become accustomed to the | idea of a truth that may seem heretical to some of you when it is |
D:Day37.1 | What we have just done is replaced an old | idea of God with a new idea of God. |
D:Day37.1 | What we have just done is replaced an old idea of God with a new | idea of God. |
D:Day37.7 | separation—as if God is a separate being. If this were all this | idea was, it would not be so difficult to dislodge, but the |
D:Day37.9 | One of the reasons you have been as intent as you have been on your | idea of a separate and particular God is that you want to believe |
D:Day37.22 | if it leads to thoughts of God as a particular being. Yet the | idea of God as Father, introduced and championed by Jesus Christ, was |
D:Day37.23 | God the Father is an | idea that was created and thus exists much as other ideas of God were |
D:Day39.17 | Who I have been to you is who you have been to yourself. Remember the | idea of projection. This is what projection does. It projects |
D:Day40.7 | instantly because there was no opposing tension—only love and an | idea that entered love, of love’s extension. As soon as I became I Am |
D:Day40.20 | as the Self you are. This paradox has kept you as intrigued with the | idea of self as with the idea of God. You have searched for a “one, |

T1:9.13 | Lest you fight these | ideas as stereotypical, I will give just a few brief examples. These |

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 |

T3:9.1 | 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 |

T3:9.3 | 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 | To form your own ideas is to be creative. Forming your own | ideas happens in relationship. Taking action on your ideas forms a |

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: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: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:10.2 | 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: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: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: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 |
D:Day37.23 | the Father is an idea that was created and thus exists much as other | ideas of God were created and thus exist. But this creation, like the |
D:Day37.26 | man sees difference in a way that makes no sense. Like the faulty | ideas of creation that shaped your “creation” of your separate world |
D:Day38.9 | union. Possession and ownership are words that have become faulty | ideas in separation. They mean an entirely different thing in union |
D:Day39.19 | Thus your | ideas of the universe and your ideas of me have been inseparable |
D:Day39.19 | Thus your ideas of the universe and your | ideas of me have been inseparable projections. As have your ideas of |

T2:9.5 | needs? By identifying needs in such a way, in the same way that you | identify “having” in regards to possessions, you but continue to feel |
T2:9.16 | needs, thus allowing them to be met. Then the need to define or to | identify them ceases. Your needs only continue to be brought to your |

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. |
C:31.18 | The truth is your | identity. Honesty is being free of deception. You, who are already |
T2:1.1 | something regarded as an ability and later as simply part of your | identity. This is what we are going to explore in this Treatise. A |
T2:1.1 | as an ability. And finally, through experience, it will become your | identity. We will begin by discussing the nature of treasure. |
T2:3.3 | heart is where the Christ in you abides and that the Christ is your | identity. Remember that it is the Christ in you that learns and |
T2:3.4 | of learning and experience. You must take on the mantle of your new | identity, your new Self. |
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 |
T2:6.5 | time. You believe that your treasures only become part of your | identity when you have passed beyond the time it takes for those |
T2:6.7 | that something can be what it is, a known fact, an object with an | identity, but also part of the ongoing nature of creation. Could this |
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, |
T3:13.1 | the consistency of our former purpose, that of establishing your | identity, and our new purpose, that of the miracle that will allow |
T3:21.10 | than—and this is a crucial other than—your certainty of your own | identity, the very identity this Course has disproved. This identity |
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 |
T3:21.17 | Now however, you are being called to accept your true | identity even while you retain the form of your personal self. As |
T3:21.17 | even while you retain the form of your personal self. As your true | identity is that of a Self who exists in unity and the identity of |
T3:21.17 | As your true identity is that of a Self who exists in unity and the | identity of your personal self is that of a self who exists in |
T3:21.18 | as aspects of your form and cease to be accepted as aspects of your | identity. This will cause your existence to seem to have more of a |
T3:21.18 | It will represent only the truth. It will no longer be seen as your | identity, but as representing your identity, an identity that has |
T3:21.18 | It will no longer be seen as your identity, but as representing your | identity, an identity that has nothing to do with the thoughts of a |
T3:21.18 | be seen as your identity, but as representing your identity, an | identity that has nothing to do with the thoughts of a separated mind |
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. |
T4:1.26 | not want it for their identity but only will accept it until another | identity is offered. |
T4:4.16 | Have we not worked throughout this Course to return your true | identity to you now? The joining of heart and mind in relationship is |
T4:6.2 | are who I say you are, and that I speak the truth concerning your | identity and inheritance. What you choose to do with this knowledge |
T4:7.5 | awareness. While your mind did not accept the truth of your | identity or the reality of love without fear, it existed in a reality |
T4:8.14 | unchanging! How could this possibly be said of one whose name and | identity is synonymous with creation? You like to think that God |
T4:8.17 | one purpose—the purpose of returning you to awareness of your true | identity. Be done with learning now as you accept who you truly are. |
D:1.8 | within the world, a faceless and nameless entity, a being without an | identity, humble and selfless and ineffective. For there must be |
D:1.10 | for a time and the personal self has floundered from this lack of | identity. A person could literally die during this time from lack of |

D:1.12 | This thought makes you worry about the | identity of the one you have called yourself. This has been the |

D:1.13 | of light becomes a beacon as you open your heart and allow your true | identity to be what is, even within your form. You are in grace and |
D:1.14 | was separate and alone. I am my Christ Self. I dwell in unity. My | identity is certain. This is the truth. I am not less than I once |
D:1.15 | give. The goal is no longer learning. The goal is accepting the | identity that has always been yours and that has newly been revealed |
D:1.23 | outside or apart from yourself. If you fully accepted your true | identity, you would no longer look outside of yourself for guidance |
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 |
D:1.26 | taught, but was the condition for learning, acceptance of your true | identity cannot be taught but is the condition necessary for being |
D:2.1 | take this Course into your heart and let it return you to your true | identity. Those of you who found within this willingness an ability |
D:2.5 | or engineer is completed, it is time for the student to claim a new | identity—that of doctor, teacher, scientist, priest or engineer— |
D:2.5 | scientist, priest or engineer—and to begin to live that new | identity. To continue to feel a need to learn rather than realizing |
D:2.6 | only one aspect of the learner’s life, an inability to claim the new | identity could at times be acceptable and even appropriate. In regard |
D:2.6 | are, your inability to realize your completion and claim your new | identity cannot be seen as acceptable or appropriate. |
D:2.15 | The function of all learning was to return you to your true | identity. Because we are working now for the integration of your true |

D:7.12 | remembrance. Remembrance was necessary for your return to your true | identity, the Self as it was created. Remembrance was not about what |
D:9.8 | a learning being were meant to allow you to come to know your true | identity. “A Treatise on the Art of Thought” was but a forerunner to |
D:13.3 | a joyous discovery of the previously known but long forgotten | identity of the Self and all that lives along with you. This knowing |
D:14.13 | as an ability. And finally, through experience, it will become your | identity.” That treasure is the new way of thought put forth in “A |

D:16.2 | of us, seemingly one at a time. Creation is our coming into our true | identity, and is the extension or expression of that identity into |
D:16.2 | into our true identity, and is the extension or expression of that | identity into the creation of wholeness in form. |
D:16.6 | learned here, because it was not yet whole. Being is synonymous with | identity. When your being and your identity, your Self and your |

D:Day10.22 | that you seek lie within, and that their source is your own true | identity. You have been told since the beginning of this Course that |
D:Day15.28 | has not been about becoming self-less but about realizing your true | identity. We have now debunked your myths about your true identity |
D:Day15.28 | your true identity. We have now debunked your myths about your true | identity being an idealized form of the self. Now are you ready, |

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

C:5.17 | This is reality. All you do not join with remains outside and is | illusion, for what is not one with you does not exist. |

C:5.28 | only loss that union generates, and it is a loss of what was merely | illusion. As union begins to look more attractive to you, you are |
C:5.30 | as this is all that is real here. God cannot be seen in | illusion nor known to those who fear him. All fear is fear of |
C:6.5 | deny. When you choose unity over separation, you choose reality over | illusion. You end opposition by choosing harmony. You end conflict by |
C:6.8 | only to reveal the relationship that exists between truth and | illusion. When you chose to deny relationship, you chose a thought |
C:6.14 | choice to renounce hell, while truth is indeed a choice to renounce | illusion, these are the only real choices that exist, and they do not |
C:7.5 | by which you live your life. Your effort goes into maintaining this | illusion that what you are must be protected, and that your |
C:7.9 | is what has made the world the world it is. What you withhold allows | illusion to rule and truth to be locked away in a vault so |

C:8.8 | real there would be no place for love at all, but love abides where | illusion cannot enter. These illusions are like barnacles upon your |
C:8.15 | They were made to keep wholeness from you and to convince you of the | illusion of your separateness. Step back. See your body as just the |
C:8.27 | details mask the truth so thoroughly that all truth is given over to | illusion. |
C:9.2 | for protection that has caused what you feel to become so clouded by | illusion. If you felt no need to protect your heart, or any of those |
C:9.8 | the power of God. You took what God created and turned it into an | illusion so powerful that you believe it is what you are, rather than |
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:9.24 | can occur that will accomplish what you seek is the replacement of | illusion with the truth, the replacement of fear with love, the |
C:9.31 | are cannot be used, not even by God. See you not that it is only in | illusion that you can use others who are like yourself? |
C:9.33 | time your imitation of the gift of free will is so falsely placed in | illusion that you cannot see this madness for what it truly is. Your |

C:9.43 | master is freer than slave. Although this is illusion, it is the | illusion that is sought. The purchase price is usefulness. And so |
C:9.49 | you must use your brothers and sisters in order to even maintain the | illusion of your separation. Would it not simply be better to end |
C:9.50 | are learning by observing your own self. Now we seek to uncover the | illusion that you can be used by your body, for your own seeming use |
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:11.16 | from weakness but from strength, and that goes out to truth and not | illusion. It is a call whose answer will come to you quickly on the |
C:12.7 | If you but understood the energy required to keep the world of your | illusion in its place, you would understand the rest that will simply |
C:13.1 | of bodies is just a first step that will take you beyond the | illusion of bodies to togetherness of spirit. |
C:14.8 | to give up the laws of chaos for the laws of reason. The laws of | illusion for the laws of truth. |
C:14.13 | a value quite beyond compare. In this you were correct. It was no | illusion that caused you to feel this way. This was not the love that |
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:16.12 | the wrongs you would enumerate. True forgiveness simply looks past | illusion to the truth where there are no sins to be forgiven, no |
C:16.25 | have used your power for. You know your power created the world of | illusion in which you live, and so you think another must be able to |
C:19.4 | and that is why you are still needed here. Beneath the world of | illusion that you have made to glorify the separated self lies the |
C:19.22 | been described, a sorting of the real from the unreal, of truth from | illusion. Despite the similarity between what this will call forth |
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:31.27 | the ego sprang from a lie, the lie of separation that created the | illusion of separate minds and varying degrees of truth. |
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 |
T1:1.10 | it is like to think as God thinks.” Where once you recognized only | illusion and called it reality, the mind joined in union will now, |
T1:3.1 | forerunners of new learning. They are but opportunities to replace | illusion with the truth so that the truth of who you are is all that |
T1:3.2 | Seeing how different from the experience of | illusion is the experience of truth is the same as seeing how |
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 |
T1:4.2 | Thus we must dispel, along with the | illusion of fear, the illusion of specificity. You have not been |
T1:4.2 | Thus we must dispel, along with the illusion of fear, the | illusion of specificity. You have not been asked to request a |
T1:5.3 | what I speak of specifically here. While I can tell you suffering is | illusion, you cannot still your fear of it nor tear your eyes away |
T1:5.3 | you, the choice that you each must make to end such suffering, the | illusion of suffering has continued and in its continuation made 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 | system of the ego-self and been able to communicate within that | illusion. Without this means of communication with the ego-self the |
T3:17.8 | you. The “time” of the Holy Spirit has now ended because the time of | illusion is now called to an end. What is finite has an end point and |
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 |
T3:18.7 | in unity observes the truth where once a mind and heart separated by | illusion observed illusion. |
T3:18.7 | the truth where once a mind and heart separated by illusion observed | illusion. |
T3:18.8 | of devotion and that you are called to observe the truth rather than | illusion no matter how real illusion may still seem to be. |
T3:18.8 | called to observe the truth rather than illusion no matter how real | illusion may still seem to be. |
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. |
T3:19.16 | clear and only choice evident. It is a choice to live in truth or in | illusion. There are many ways that can still be found to come to the |
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 |
T3:20.19 | other circumstance you will encounter. You will encounter truth or | illusion and nothing else for there is nothing else. There is but one |
T3:21.5 | Your real Self exists in truth. It does not exist in | illusion. |
T3:21.6 | Your personal self exists in | illusion. It is called a personal self because it is attached to a |
T3:21.9 | This will sound intolerant to you. It is a stance intolerant of | illusion. You must no longer see illusion for it is no longer there! |
T3:21.9 | you. It is a stance intolerant of illusion. You must no longer see | illusion for it is no longer there! This is how you must live with |
T3:21.9 | truth. You must find it unobservable! It must become a concept only. | Illusion is a set of facts, or in other words, a set of information. |
T3:21.9 | to change and mean one thing to one person and one thing to another. | Illusion is symbolic. And what’s more it symbolizes nothing for it |
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:5.3 | to the world you see, it did not change the truth but only created | illusion. Thus the truth is still available to be seen. |
D:11.17 | is no truth inherent in the individual, separated self, but only | illusion. Illusion can be described in many different ways that lead |
D:11.17 | truth inherent in the individual, separated self, but only illusion. | Illusion can be described in many different ways that lead to many |
D:11.17 | in many different ways that lead to many paths of seeking, but | illusion can provide no place in which the seeking ends and the truth |
D:Day2.23 | yet upon humankind. The choice was made collectively to remain in | illusion. The choice for continued suffering was made. And so I |
D:Day4.25 | tried. For on your own you cannot learn the truth. On your own, only | illusion can be learned, for your starting place is illusion. |
D:Day4.25 | your own, only illusion can be learned, for your starting place is | illusion. |
D:Day4.31 | eyes. You “cover over” the portal of access to unity with a film of | illusion. You hide the gate in mist. Remember your breathing and how |
D:Day4.51 | not have separated you from truth and you would not have dwelt in | illusion. The relationship of union is what you are here coming to |
D:Day4.53 | has been the means chosen, by us, to move you through the layers of | illusion that have disguised your fear, to move you beyond false |
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:Day9.1 | present. You have fled the foreign land, where freedom was merely an | illusion, and arrived at the Promised Land, the land of our |
D:Day9.14 | But this ideal image is as much a product of | illusion as have been all of your worldly goals. |
D:Day11.2 | with the world of union, even while it does not unite the world of | illusion with the world of truth. Sharing in unity and relationship |
D:Day11.2 | and relationship is the way and the means to see past the world of | illusion to the truth of the union of form and spirit, separate |
D:Day23.3 | coming metaphorically and literally out of the clouds, out of the | illusion, surrendering the mist that was all that separated one world |
D:Day23.4 | The clouds of | illusion, even those that have gently surrounded our time together on |
D:Day36.12 | What we have called | illusion is this simple nothingness of existence without relationship |
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:Day36.12 | of being. You have just kept being, kept making choices between one | illusion and another in your separate reality. A separate reality |
D:Day36.12 | reality. A separate reality that cannot exist in truth but only in | illusion. |
A.2 | perception is cured. The perception of your separated state was the | illusion for which a cure was needed—and within A Course in |
illusion’s (2) |
||
C:I.12 | is love’s expression. The new is the true replacement of the false, | illusion’s demise, joy birthed amongst sorrow. The new is yet to be |
C:11.6 | made, and while it remains there you remain unwilling to relinquish | illusion’s hold on you. You can be faithful to but one thought |
illusionary (2) |
||
C:5.18 | where nothing is real and nothing is happening in truth. This | illusionary world is full of things you have told yourself and been |
T3:11.1 | that the self of illusion, the self that exists in illusion, is an | illusionary self. This could be further stated as those who exist in |
illusions (14) |
||
C:2.11 | You have but accepted illusion as the truth, and so seek other | illusions to change what never was into something that never will be. |
C:2.15 | Look not to figures from the past to show you the way beyond | illusions to the present. Look within to the one in you who knows the |
C:3.3 | no sections, no parts, no inside and no outside, no dreams and no | illusions that can escape or hide, disappear, or cease to be. There |
C:4.19 | do not recognize what love is protect what you call love from the | illusions you have made. |
C:5.24 | another and another, not stopping to realize that you choose among | illusions. You are so surprised that you have not found happiness in |
C:6.3 | neither separate nor alone and never were and never can be. All your | illusions were created in order to obscure this fact of your |
C:6.14 | the only real choices that exist, and they do not extend into your | illusions but only into truth. For in truth are all illusions gone, |
C:6.14 | extend into your illusions but only into truth. For in truth are all | illusions gone, in heaven is all thought of hell forever vanquished. |
C:8.8 | such as these. If these be in your heart, where is love? If these | illusions were real there would be no place for love at all, but love |
C:8.8 | for love at all, but love abides where illusion cannot enter. These | illusions are like barnacles upon your heart, adhering to its |
C:9.12 | what is most useful to us now is your perception of your heart. Your | illusions concerning it, when undone, will quickly reveal to you the |
C:11.14 | This final battle is in your own mind, and it is a figment of the | illusions you have made. Let this prophecy you have made go, and |
T3:14.2 | those dwelling in the House of Truth would not long abide with such | illusions, but the pattern of the old would not be broken. Suffering |
T3:19.9 | There is no longer any time to waste on such | illusions. The thought system of the truth sees no value in suffering |
illusory (1) |

D:Day9.13 | goal worthy of your effort. It seems to be a true goal amidst many | illusory goals. Just as you may have believed that if you worked hard |

C:31.5 | is the same and what is different. Yet, as your forms so readily | illustrate, while all bodies are the same, they are also different. |
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 willingness |
D:15.2 | because of lack of movement. Thus these are excellent examples to | illustrate the principle of movement as life itself, the idea of lack |
D:Day5.21 | by the layers of thinking and feeling that we used the onion to | illustrate, but as a point of entry and pass-through. What comes of |
D:Day28.2 | These have been discussed before so this will be kept brief and | illustrate only what is needed for our discussion of the next stage. |

T2:10.5 | While just an | illustration, the reverse of this is akin to what you have done by |
T2:10.5 | with the information stored in supercomputers, it is still a worthy | illustration. For just as a supercomputer needs a knowledgeable |

T3:17.2 | Adam and Eve that has them eating from the tree of knowledge was an | illustration of the effects of this observation and the judgment that |
T3:20.5 | Let us now link observation and the miracle. An easy | illustration is provided, as so often is the case, by looking at |
D:Day27.12 | as an ideal temperature, you might think for a moment, just as an | illustration, of your experience of separation always taking place at |
illustrations (1) |
||
C:22.6 | seen as a division between rather than as a relationship among. The | illustrations used here, however, concentrate upon a passing through |
image (91) |
||
C:4.12 | that pass as gaiety but cannot masquerade as joy. You each have an | image in your mind of someone you believe knows what love is. This is |
C:4.13 | Thus, your | image of love is based upon comparison. You have chosen one who |
C:4.13 | who demonstrates that which in you is most lacking and you use that | image to chastise yourself while saying this is what you want. |
C:4.18 | In this you are correct, for love is nothing like your | image of your life and has no resemblance to how you spend your days |
C:6.20 | of any sort will, when prompted to be truthful, admit this is an | image that lights their mind with peace and hope. This image is as |
C:6.20 | this is an image that lights their mind with peace and hope. This | image is as ancient as the earth and sky and all that lies beyond it. |
C:7.14 | thus: all competition, all envy, all greed. These all relate to your | image of yourself and your efforts to reinforce it. This is your |
C:7.18 | and that of your mind. Your heart may be said to break, but the | image that these words call forth is of a heart cracked open, not of |
C:7.18 | side another. While your brain and your mind are not the same, your | image of your mind and what it does and does not do is linked with |
C:7.18 | of your mind and what it does and does not do is linked with your | image of your brain. Let this image go and concentrate on the |
C:7.18 | and does not do is linked with your image of your brain. Let this | image go and concentrate on the wholeness of your heart, no matter |
C:8.24 | this is to see its reality. To see this reality is to see the | image of God you have created in God’s likeness. This image is based |
C:8.24 | is to see the image of God you have created in God’s likeness. This | image is based on your memory of the truth of God’s creation and your |
C:9.26 | Like everything else you have remembered of creation and made in its | image, so too is this. While making yourself separate and alone you |
C:12.12 | still exists, but nowhere can you find the being God created in His | image. |
C:12.13 | upon a time there walked upon the earth those who did reveal God’s | image, and that when they ceased to be seen here God’s image was lost |
C:12.13 | reveal God’s image, and that when they ceased to be seen here God’s | image was lost to earth forever? Could even one have come and gone |
C:22.3 | A prime | image of this idea is provided by the axis. A line passes through a |
C:22.4 | A second and equally worthy | image is that of a needle passing through material. Of itself, it can |
C:22.5 | piercing has no intrinsic value in terms of purpose, it provides an | image of a straight line passing through not one, but many layers of |
C:22.7 | The | image of intersection is simply meant to represent the point where |
C:23.8 | way around. This is what has caused you to make God over in your own | image and to try to do the same to others. This comes of seeing |
C:23.8 | to try to do the same to others. This comes of seeing oneself as an | image rather than as a being existing in relationship. This comes |
C:30.13 | Or can you not see that the created form was made in God’s own | image, as was all creation. You are God’s image given form, as is all |

C:25.22 | while strong, will not necessarily reflect real need but rather an | impatience with the way things are and were. You will want to force |

T3:16.5 | We spoke once before within A Course of Love of your | impatience and of this Course acting as a trigger that would release |
T3:16.5 | and of this Course acting as a trigger that would release all such | impatience for what will be. Impatience for what will be can only be |
T3:16.5 | a trigger that would release all such impatience for what will be. | Impatience for what will be can only be satisfied by what is. |
T3:22.16 | And so we conclude with this note of | impatience with the old and the observation, the final observation, |
T3:22.18 | the truth that has always existed. Go forth and live the truth with | impatience only for the truth. Hold this impatience to your Self as |

C:27.5 | You have been caught in a cycle of seeing the self as | important for a period of time and then seeing the self as |
C:27.5 | the self as unimportant for a period of time. Seeing the self as | important seems at one time like a function of the ego, and at |
C:29.12 | It is extremely | important for you to realize that God’s work takes place outside of |
C:31.15 | who you think you are. I say who you think you are because it is | important to distinguish who you think you are from who you truly |

T1:9.16 | rather than looking for an other to provide what you lack. This is | important and universal in its impact. It would seem to be about |
T2:7.2 | love that is not returned, the withholding of things you deem | important. This fear that you feel in relation to others is as true |
T2:7.2 | very independence of others that makes your own independence seem so | important to you. Dependency is not consistent with your notions of a |

T3:2.12 | This is such an | important point for you to grasp that I return you to our comparison |
T3:11.10 | the other wrong but to simply recognize what they are. This is an | important distinction that must be kept in mind as we proceed so that |
T3:13.4 | ability to distinguish between love and fear as cause is all that is | important now as you will create the new according to what you |

D:11.16 | own lives. Those who do so seek to make individual contributions as | important men and women and do not seek to give expression to what is |
D:13.5 | that you know something you did not know before in form, that it is | important, monumental even; but you will be unable to “see” this |
D:13.6 | that this sharing is not needed so much as a means of imparting | important knowledge to others, but so that you can come to understand |
D:Day1.4 | Why should this be so | important? Why not leave well enough alone? If acceptance of Jesus is |
D:Day5.6 | one of us expresses love in exactly the same way as another. This is | important to remember now as you begin to work with your access to |
D:Day6.26 | our task is holy and incomparable. You know there is nothing more | important for you to be involved in. All other areas where you might |
D:Day8.12 | Will knowing your dislikes cause you to be intolerant? This is an | important question. You have been intolerant of yourself and it was |

D:Day15.25 | This is a demonstration of levels of consciousness at work. It is | important to be able to hold the spacious consciousness of the One |

T1:5.6 | end this happy state and there is indeed much to be learned from the | in-between. It is, however, a starting point only. |
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. This in-between |
T1:5.7 | of an in-between you have created between all and nothing. This | in-between place is your comfort zone and, although you feel |
T1:5.7 | of offering resistance. Your search for “something” within the | in-between, if it leads not beyond the in-between, but shields you |
T1:5.7 | for “something” within the in-between, if it leads not beyond the | in-between, but shields you from the recognition of the all you are |
T1:5.9 | it is only your body and the thinking of your ego-mind that make the | in-between state of the illusion in which you now exist seem real. I |
T1:6.2 | moves you into the real state of “all” from the unreal state of the | in-between. Only from within a state that is real can anything happen |
T1:7.2 | to chaos, love in relation to fear. This belief exists in the | in-between, where on the one hand there is darkness, and on the other |

D:Day3.34 | steps to abundance” answer; but I will try to address you in an | in-between tone, one that will not cause you to feel spoken down to |
D:Day6.1 | said earlier: To realize the state of becoming is to realize that an | in-between exists between the time of learning and the time of being |
D:Day6.1 | our time on this holy mountain is largely comprised of. We are in an | in-between state of time. We stand at the intersection point of the |
D:Day6.6 | this particular example to address this particular time of being | in-between. Let us consider the creation of a piece of music. The |
D:Day7.8 | Again let me remind you that you are in an | in-between time. Thus these conditions I have spoken of and those I |
D:Day7.8 | I have spoken of and those I have yet to speak of, are also in an | in-between state. They exist along with the new you. They exist in |
D:Day7.15 | Access to unity is a phrase that will only be used in this | in-between time. You have always existed in unity and once this is |
E.16 | There is no longer an | in-between unless you create it. You have taken the step of accepting |
in-formed (2) |
||
D:Day15.1 | will have entered the dialogue. When you fully realize that you are | in-formed by everything and everyone in creation, you will have |
D:Day15.3 | you begin the movement away from being observed to being | in-formed by the spirit which animates all things. You begin the |
inability (21) |

C:2.9 | for even the tiniest fraction of a second. It is precisely the | inability of your true Self to forget that gives you hope of learning |
C:4.5 | proof of your existence is established. All fear is based on your | inability to recognize love and thus who you are and who God is. How |
C:12.5 | is you seek assurance. And yet you know what tires you most is your | inability to be certain of anything. And you are tired indeed. |
C:20.47 | concerns and they are among the reasons for your belief in your | inability to effect change within your own life and certainly within |
C:25.7 | feelings of lack of love, and realize these feelings come from your | inability to receive. Do this practice until it is no longer needed. |
T1:4.21 | response. Response was what was required in the first place and your | inability to respond need not be repeated. You are being revisited |
T1:7.1 | which who you are can never be accomplished. You have perceived this | inability to be who you are in terms of not being able to do as you |
T1:7.1 | this prerequisite to the condition of suffering is as the perceived | inability to be who you truly are, a being existing in union. Take |
T2:10.3 | is contained within you and yet you are often forced to accept an | inability to have access to this information. It is forced from your |
T3:8.6 | Do you not look upon all suffering and feel bitter at your own | inability to relieve it? And do you not thus attempt to see it not |
T3:8.7 | that seems to make no sense of love. Bitterness is the cause of this | inability to make a new choice and what keeps the cycle of suffering |
T3:8.12 | suffering really have gone on for countless ages simply due to your | inability to birth the idea of an end to suffering? |
T4:2.23 | We have spoken of this within the text of A Course of Love as your | inability to realize the relationship that exists with the unseen and |
T4:7.5 | has created an unreal reality for your heart and body has been the | inability of the mind to join the truth with your conscious |
D:2.6 | example that illustrates only one aspect of the learner’s life, an | inability to claim the new identity could at times be acceptable and |
D:2.6 | learning that has revealed the true nature of who you are, your | inability to realize your completion and claim your new identity |
D:10.2 | in the time of learning, through the process of learning. Notice the | inability of teaching or learning to call forth talents, ideas, |
D:12.15 | You may at such times have been frustrated by an | inability to share these thoughts, or to deliver them with the |
D:12.16 | of your certainty about this truth over time. It may have been your | inability to convey this truth, another’s reaction to this truth, or |
D:16.16 | of the time of learning, all of the moments in which you feel an | inability to join in union, and in which you recognize still the |
D:Day9.27 | and truth of who you are by being alive. It has only been your | inability to accept this that has caused your grief and pretensions. |

T1:8.5 | upon my birth. This will seem confusing given your definition of | incarnation as the Word made flesh. You took this to mean that flesh |
T1:8.7 | for you to follow? You must see the link between resurrection and | incarnation, the link between resurrection and the birth of the |
T1:8.16 | female in the virgin birth. My mother, Mary, was responsible for the | incarnation of Christ in me as I am responsible for the incarnation |
T1:8.16 | for the incarnation of Christ in me as I am responsible for the | incarnation of Christ in you. This union of the male and female is |
D:Day17.10 | of form, the resurrection of spirit. The way of Mary represented | incarnation through relationship, demonstrating the truth of union, |
D:Day18.10 | this pattern through interaction with the world, or through | incarnation through relationship. Neither is exclusive. Both are |
D:Day18.11 | through individuation and becoming known. One way of doing this is | incarnation through relationship in which the relationship, rather |

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 |

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 |

T4:1.17 | stated here as the difference between learning by contrast and | indirect communication and learning through observation and direction |
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 |
T4:1.19 | —they passed on, indirectly, all that they came to know. This | indirect means of communication is the reason for the existence of |
T4:1.20 | But these | indirect means of communication left much open to interpretation. |
T4:1.27 | some were able to come to know themselves and God through the | indirect means of this state of consciousness and to pass on what |
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 |
T4:1.27 | and to continue to pass their learning on indirectly, or through | indirect communication and contrast. But this also means that the |
T4:2.4 | fear. I revealed a God of Love and the Holy Spirit provided for | indirect and less fearful means of communion or communication with |
T4:2.25 | now exists between the physical and spiritual. It is not an | indirect relationship but a direct relationship. It exists and you |
T4:7.2 | Spirit, your understanding of your Self and God grew through the | indirect means that were available to you, during the time of Christ, |
indirectly (5) |
||
T4:1.11 | God directly. Others have chosen to come to know themselves and God | indirectly. These are the only two choices, the choices between truth |
T4:1.19 | united in oneness with the Holy Spirit—they passed on, | indirectly, all that they came to know. This indirect means of |
T4:1.20 | left much open to interpretation. Different interpretations of | indirectly received truth resulted in different religions and varying |
T4:1.25 | aware of the new state of consciousness are resisting it, again | indirectly. Some occupy themselves with mind and spirit numbing |
T4:1.27 | know themselves and God, and to continue to pass their learning on | indirectly, or through indirect communication and contrast. But this |
individual (67) |

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:7.3 | and on separating into groups and species. Not only is each | individual distinct and separate, but so too are groups of |
C:7.6 | For those whose identity is threatened, it is called the cry of the | individual. For others it is the call to create, and for still others |
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:9.42 | groups, teams, and organizations are but a collective portrayal of | individual desire. Slaves and masters but use one another and the |

C:9.44 | reflected by the group, are reflected within the individual. The | individual with issues of abuse would do a service to the world if |
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 |
C:27.15 | of what the situation might mean to your future. It is not the | individual “you” that dictates your responses to situations based on |
C:28.3 | Because inner knowing is both | individual and collective, both personal and universal, this is the |
C:29.8 | While this goal may at first appear to be one of selfish intent and | individual gain, it is not. A return to unity is a return to unity. |
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 |
T4:5.6 | and life, or the Body of Christ, as all that makes up the seemingly | individual parts of the All of everything. Christ-consciousness is |
T4:6.7 | they were unable to share Christ-consciousness directly due to | individual and collective choice. |
T4:7.7 | nature of the universe. These conditions are perfect not only for | individual learning, but for shared learning, learning in community |
T4:12.24 | relationship. There is no pattern within it for learning (which is | individual), for individual gain, or for individual accomplishment. |
T4:12.24 | is no pattern within it for learning (which is individual), for | individual gain, or for individual accomplishment. |
T4:12.24 | it for learning (which is individual), for individual gain, or for | individual accomplishment. |
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:12.18 | Some of you will have credited your personal or | individual self with the “figuring out” of this truth. Others of you |
D:Day4.46 | no longer striving. It will mean no specialness. It will mean the | individual is gone, and the self of union all that continues to |
D:Day5.12 | Access to unity will seem, at first, a quite | individual accomplishment, something one may have and another may |
D:Day5.13 | an “access” point to love, and while you may treat love still as an | individual attribute intimately associated with the Self you are, you |
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 |
D:Day40.25 | “left out,” unrecognized, or unwelcome: “Don’t you know that I am an | individual? That I have feelings?” Are you saying this now, as you |
A.30 | may seem to have increased as these experiences will be moving each | individual along at her own pace. Comparisons may arise and some may |
A.31 | of the sharing. Always it is the facilitator’s role to guide the | individual group members away from inclinations, which may be strong |
A.33 | Often here the facilitator will meet as well | individual assessments and self-doubts. Group members may wonder if |
individuality (8) |

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.32 | past are difficult to dislodge even when they have been recognized. | Individuals can be encouraged here to “watch the parade go by” as |
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 |
individuating (2) |

D:Day33.13 | of exerting that power, which is the same as saying some means of | individuating the self. |
D:Day36.16 | God and different in relationship you accept the power of being, or | individuating God. You accept the power of God. You become powerful. |
individuation (20) |
||
D:Day15.26 | on your own purpose in being here, will begin a new process of | individuation. The distinctness of your own path will be made visible |
D:Day17.6 | This is why we return now to your identity and the | individuation of your identity. |
D:Day18.4 | being example lives. These example lives are evidenced through the | individuation of the One Self among the many. In other words, to |
D:Day18.5 | the resurrection of the One Self, the end of the individual and the | individuation of the One Self amongst the many. They find renewed |
D:Day18.11 | that abides within you. One way of doing this is through | individuation and becoming known. One way of doing this is |
D:Day37.5 | is—a way that represents separation rather than differentiation or | individuation. |
D:Day37.11 | that which is your Source, but division, like differentiation or | individuation, is only possible in union and relationship. Two |
D:Day37.17 | to union and relationship and through union and relationship to true | individuation and true knowing. |
D:Day39.6 | This is the beginning of | individuation in union and relationship. This is the beginning of |
D:Day39.9 | Being in union is being all. Being in union and relationship requires | individuation, and individuation requires relationship. Thus you must |
D:Day39.9 | all. Being in union and relationship requires individuation, and | individuation requires relationship. Thus you must now accept |
D:Day39.38 | Good and evil. In other words, All and Nothing. It is the tension of | individuation, a tension that has existed since the beginning of |
D:Day39.46 | will realize as you enter union that the tension of opposites is the | individuation process and that you are the bridge. You are the bridge |
D:Day40.6 | from who I am being and who others are being. Your attempt at | individuation and extension, an attempt consistent with the nature of |
D:Day40.8 | tension that now remains in our relationship is the tension of | individuation or the individuation and differentiation process. |
D:Day40.8 | remains in our relationship is the tension of individuation or the | individuation and differentiation process. |
D:Day40.9 | tension, or process, is not bad. There is nothing wrong with this | individuation process or the creative tension that has been in |
D:Day40.9 | It is creation in the making. What will be created now, and the | individuation that will occur now, will hold all the power of your |
D:Day40.11 | attributes. As was said earlier, this was meant to provide for the | individuation process rather than the process of separation. In being |
D:Day40.22 | you the Christ, who is the relationship with love. This is why | individuation has become the conflict between, or the tension of, |
indivisible (3) |

inescapable (3) |

D:Day6.1 | of time. We stand at the intersection point of the finite and the | infinite in order to complete the creative act of becoming. |
D:Day7.7 | of convergence, intersection, and pass-through of the finite and the | infinite, of time and no time. Time has not yet ceased to be, but as |

C:1.9 | same way as another. This is true with the teaching and learning of | information, and true with the teaching and learning of the truth as |
C:3.10 | old as new, of improving on a former idea, of taking various | information and collecting it into a new configuration. |
C:3.14 | your concept of the brain, for we bypass it now and send it no | information to process, no data for it to compute. The only change in |
C:8.11 | conjecture, and probable cause. You look for explanations and | information rather than the truth you claim to seek. You look in |
C:9.6 | struggle. Every inch of its surface is a receiver and transmitter of | information yet it carries additional tools such as eyes and ears to |
C:10.32 | want to keep it theoretical and not apply it. You will ask for the | information, and say you would really rather not have the experience. |
C:27.18 | does not mean power as you see it here, the power of details and the | information of which you think when desiring or fearing a fate of |
C:30.11 | you seek always waiting for something you do not yet have—some | information, some guarantee, some proof or validation. You might |
T2:10.3 | easily and routinely as a hand swats away a fly. You know that the | information is contained within you and yet you are often forced to |
T2:10.3 | you are often forced to accept an inability to have access to this | information. It is forced from your awareness by something you know |
T2:10.3 | there and yet swatted away as if by some unseen hand. Where has this | information gone and what keeps it from you? You might feel |
T2:10.5 | While what we are speaking of as knowing has little to do with the | information stored in supercomputers, it is still a worthy |
T2:10.5 | supercomputer needs a knowledgeable operator in order to provide the | information sought, so too do you need to become knowledgeable in |
T3:21.9 | only. Illusion is a set of facts, or in other words, a set of | information. These facts are subject to change and mean one thing to |
T3:21.11 | an identity. You might think of this as being certain of facts and | information, for these are the things about yourself that few of you |
T4:12.23 | would cause brain damage, because it would cause an overload of | information. The singular consciousness would act like a computer |
T4:12.23 | would act like a computer with a full drive and reject the | information or be overcome by it if such were possible. Such is not |
D:5.13 | what was created and what was made would be to create a tome of | information, and this is not needed now. The desire for such is a |
D:8.8 | Now this is not new | information. Much of this was taught in “A Treatise on the Nature of |
D:11.2 | me as a lecturer, or even as a great teacher? Am I but a giver of | information from whom another is capable of taking notes? You think |
D:Day3.2 | for learning and you are most willing to have new insight, new | information, and even new discoveries, enter through your mind— |

C:9.34 | too much from what you were to ever again be worthy of your true | inheritance. You fear that this, too, you would squander and lay to |

C:29.21 | you cannot know until you inherit. Can you have faith that your true | inheritance is what you truly desire, even knowing not exactly what |
C:29.21 | is what you truly desire, even knowing not exactly what that | inheritance is? Can you not follow me in my choice and accept it as |
C:30.8 | that I not only knew but demonstrated. This is the legacy, the | inheritance, I left to you. |
T1:10.13 | you have believed and why you have not chosen yet to accept your | inheritance. Yet let the memory of the truth return to you now and |
T1:10.14 | it, is your answer to God and God’s answer to you. Peace is the | inheritance I left you. Peace of body, mind and heart. Peace is the |
T4:4.4 | as the time of the child of the parent coming into his or her | inheritance or time of fullness. The power and prestige, the earthly |
T4:4.5 | form of the “son of God.” In the time in which I lived, the idea of | inheritance was an even stronger idea, an idea with much more power |
T4:4.5 | much more power than in current times. Inherent within the idea of | inheritance was an idea of passing as well as an idea of continuity. |
T4:4.6 | What my life demonstrated was a capacity for | inheritance not based upon death. My life, death and resurrection |
T4:4.6 | upon death. My life, death and resurrection revealed the power of | inheritance, the power of the Father, as one of life-giving union. I |
T4:4.6 | of life-giving union. I called you then and I call you now to this | inheritance. |

T4:4.9 | the ability to come into your time of fullness by accepting the | inheritance of your Father. You have the awareness and thus the |
T4:5.1 | and that your fulfillment lies in the acceptance of your true | inheritance. |
T4:6.2 | say you are, and that I speak the truth concerning your identity and | inheritance. What you choose to do with this knowledge is still up to |
T4:6.8 | and thus sustain Christ-consciousness. You can pass on the | inheritance you accept in this fullness of time. In this time of |
D:1.2 | spirit. You need not prepare or plan, you need only to claim your | inheritance, your gifts, your Self. |
D:2.23 | part of the shared agreement that will fulfill the promises of your | inheritance. This is the Covenant of the New in which you honor your |
D:4.31 | I call you to. Yet as you fully accept that your right to your | inheritance, your right to be who you are, and your commitment to the |
D:17.1 | To succeed is to follow after, and to follow into | inheritance. It is a following after that occurs in time and space |
D:17.3 | desire. Do you wholeheartedly desire to follow me to your true | inheritance? To come after me and be as I was? To be the inheritor of |
D:Day1.1 | is acceptance of your Self. Acceptance of me is acceptance of your | inheritance. This is nothing new to those of you of the Christian |
D:Day1.23 | story. There is only scripture unfulfilled, the promise of | inheritance or the threat of doom. Myth too stops short of |
D:Day1.25 | whose completion cannot occur in singular form, but as with any true | inheritance only in a series, only in a joining together of all of |
D:Day1.28 | of one beginning. One story with many promises made. Promises of | inheritance and fulfillment, promises that give hints to, but never |
D:Day2.1 | is acceptance of me. Acceptance of your Self is acceptance of your | inheritance. Now is the time to come into full acceptance of the |
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 when you |
D:Day3.17 | a “given.” It is seen as a “given” in one case only: In the case of | inheritance, in the case of those “born” to money. Thus this is a |
D:Day3.17 | of those “born” to money. Thus this is a good place to start, since | inheritance is that of which we speak. Let’s be clear that we are not |
D:Day3.17 | fate. We are talking specifically here of the money “given” through | inheritance, the money some lucky ones are born with. |
D:Day3.31 | you have any peace when you live like this? What succor will your | inheritance provide if thoughts like these accompany your |
D:Day3.31 | will your inheritance provide if thoughts like these accompany your | inheritance? Were this a monetary inheritance, would you not squirrel |
D:Day3.31 | thoughts like these accompany your inheritance? Were this a monetary | inheritance, would you not squirrel it away for a rainy day, or spend |
D:Day4.44 | You have been brought here to be tempted by the unknown of your | inheritance, an unknown that, while it remains unknown, is still what |
D:Day4.54 | glimpse of wholeness, of oneness with God. To know the truth of your | inheritance. |
D:Day9.1 | an illusion, and arrived at the Promised Land, the land of our | inheritance. |
D:Day10.39 | This is the secret of succession, your promised | inheritance. This is the gift of love I came to give and give newly |
inherited (2) |

T4:3.6 | state of being. The fear that was birthed along with the erroneously | inherited idea that it was your nature to be separate and alone and |
T4:12.31 | come after you, will more fully come to awareness of all they have | inherited and all it is within their power to create. |
inheritor (2) |
||
C:9.34 | only thing that might succeed in proving your place as that of royal | inheritor would be if you could fix yourself and the world, restoring |

T1:10.3 | most profound sorrow or the most all-encompassing joy, you will feel | inhuman. You will think that this cannot be where you are meant to |

initial (8) |

C:P.13 | your Self are likely to feel increasingly burdened. Although an | initial burst of energy may have followed your reading of the Course |
C:9.45 | and usee have become confused. All such confusion stems from the | initial confusion of the use you think your body would put you to. |
T1:9.14 | These may be difficult questions to answer as your | initial reaction and your response will likely have taken on |
T3:7.1 | The ego’s thought system then formed beliefs that supported the | initial idea of the separation. Where is there a corresponding belief |
D:Day5.1 | unity. This point of access will thus now be discussed, both as an | initial entry point and as a continued entry point so that it is |
D:Day8.10 | however, that this eventual outcome will never occur without the | initial acceptance. |
D:Day15.20 | directions, see new sights, gain new insights. While this is only an | initial, or practice stage of movement, it is obvious that movement |
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 |
initially (4) |
||
C:13.12 | Each of you will | initially find it difficult to accept the innocence and sinlessness |
D:17.20 | remain in a state of becoming, and any disappointment you may have | initially felt with this realization has been replaced by acceptance. |
D:Day10.6 | that the certainty that comes from union will seem to come, at least | initially, from a place other than the self. Because certainty seems |
D:Day27.7 | quite literally have a new way of seeing. You might think of this | initially as having two perspectives, an internal and an external |
initiate (4) |
||
C:20.36 | and uncertainty are replaced by hope. Hope is the condition of the | initiate, new to the realization of having a home within the embrace. |
D:17.10 | Hope, as was said within this Course, is a condition of the | initiate. You have now passed hope by as you have moved beyond the |
D:Day1.6 | and thus you have arrived here and left behind the state of the | initiate, the time of waiting. You have chosen. You are merely asked |
D:Day1.7 | you have ascended or that you have left behind the conditions of the | initiate. If you believe these are words of wisdom and that you can |
initiation (2) |
||
D:17.10 | You have now passed hope by as you have moved beyond the state of | initiation. You are no longer hopeful for what will come. Hope is |
D:17.10 | waiting. You have arrived. You have passed through the stage of | initiation. You have reached the top of the mountain. |
injunction (7) |

C:5.6 | two is quite real. “When two or more are joined together” is not an | injunction for bodies to unite. It is a statement that describes the |
C:9.41 | The | injunction to rest in peace is for the living, not the dead. But |
T1:4.3 | A Course of Love began with an | injunction to pray. A Course in Miracles began with a definition of |
T3:22.4 | course of learning into your new reality. One is the often-repeated | injunction to resign as your own teacher. The other is the ability to |
T3:22.5 | The | injunction that you resign as your own teacher originated in A Course |

T4:12.22 | as was the singular consciousness of the human form. It is your | innate consciousness, a consciousness far too vast to be learned but |
D:Day10.12 | Feelings come from the | innate knowing of the self of form—in short, from the body. The |
D:Day18.1 | of reality. Still others will participate in both, following their | innate desire to facilitate the creation of change through a specific |

C:4.27 | to the world within, where in love’s presence both outer and | inner worlds become as one and leave beyond your vision the world |
C:5.16 | find your mate. But the home in which you stand, much like your | inner world, is where you live the life that makes the most sense. It |
C:9.21 | in the violence you would keep outside your doors, and from your | inner sanctum you give this one a respite from the war that rages |
C:28.3 | Because | inner knowing is both individual and collective, both personal and |
C:28.3 | coming together to share common testimony validates the proof of | inner and collective knowing. You think shared beliefs amass, like a |
T1:9.4 | birth. But birth, like all outward manifestations, but reflects | inner change. The growth of a new being within the womb of another is |
T4:2.31 | your instincts will be sharpened and that you will know with an | inner knowing that will aid the sight of your eyes? |
T4:8.2 | you are only now reaching a stage wherein you can know, within your | inner being, that this is the truth. I say this because it is only |
D:5.4 | all that encompasses and surrounds you, the boundaries between the | inner and outer world will diminish and eventually cease to be. |
D:Day3.7 | a spiritual context for your life can, in other words, change your | inner life, but are more skeptical in regard to its ability to affect |
D:Day15.17 | this stage of development because they feel they have achieved | inner knowing. They may still consider themselves to be capable of |
D:Day15.17 | They have achieved a goal consistent with their concept of | inner knowing and mistaken this as knowing the self. Movement is |
D:Day19.8 | the truth of as within, so without and the relationship between the | inner and outer world. |
D:Day28.5 | choices are externally directed. They may include a great deal of | inner reflection in order to be made, but they are still directed at |

D:Day27.4 | Inner-sight made an appearance on occasion, showing up as flashes of | |
D:Day27.5 | This is the quality of the | inner-sight you now will carry with you to level ground because you |
D:Day27.6 | is not an aspect of the spirit alone. Coming to know is a quality of | inner-sight, of wholehearted human experience combined with spiritual |
innocence (15) |

C:10.9 | will look back upon this time and smile and laugh out loud at the | innocence of these desires that but reveal that you stand merely at |
C:13.12 | Each of you will initially find it difficult to accept the | innocence and sinlessness of others and yourself, for your memory |

T2:7.7 | This is the most difficult belief of all to | integrate into the living of your life. Each time another thwarts |
T2:11.1 | want to be other than who you are. Now our aim is to show you how to | integrate the belief that you are a being who exists in relationship |
T3:3.7 | and especially the changed beliefs we have worked together to | integrate into your thought system, are only a first step, a step |
T3:22.4 | who you want to be. This tension will continue if you are unable to | integrate two precepts of this course of learning into your new |

C:18.9 | Learning from unity requires an | integrated mind and heart, or wholeheartedness. A half-hearted |
C:25.9 | through action. This is possible for you now only if you have | integrated the most basic teaching of this Course and no longer feel |
C:29.2 | would serve and those who would be served. Few of you have as yet | integrated this Course’s definition of service into your lives. But |
T2:4.3 | as who you think you are rather than as who you are, you have not | integrated these two pieces of learning. |
T2:5.7 | Until you have fully | integrated the truth that giving and receiving are one, you will not |

C:9.6 | Think for a moment of what the creator of such a body would have | intended the body to be. The body is a finite entity, created to be |

T4:3.5 | You may not feel that you have ever | intended to live in fear. But the displacement of the original intent |

T2:9.5 | It is perhaps best seen in the contrast implied by the | intent to hang on. The desire to hang on to anything assumes that |

T4:3.4 | of things for original intent is synonymous with cause. The original | intent of this chosen experience was the expression of the Self of |
T4:3.4 | the expression of the Self of love in observable form. This original | intent or cause formed the true nature of the personal self capable |
T4:3.4 | of being observed in relationship. The displacement of the original | intent, while it did not change the original cause, formed a false |
T4:3.4 | nature for the personal self. This displacement of the original | intent can be simply stated as the displacement of love with fear. It |
T4:3.5 | ever intended to live in fear. But the displacement of the original | intent was so complete that each life has begun with fear and |
T4:3.5 | from this beginning continually reacting to fear. While the original | intent remained within you and caused you to attempt to express a |
T4:8.1 | God’s love, an expression of God’s choice, a representation of God’s | intent. |
T4:8.11 | In following in the way of God’s original | intent, you rebelled against God’s original design, the design that |

D:Day15.6 | It has been in the relationship of observation that you have | interacted with all other life forms as well as with inanimate forms. |

D:Day17.10 | The way of Jesus represented full-scale | interaction with the world, demonstrating the myth of duality, the |

D:Day19.14 | is why this is not a place or state of non-interaction but of great | interaction. It is a state that facilitates knowing through |
D:Day21.7 | needed in each moment is available within each moment and that the | interaction, rather than being one of taking something from an |

D:14.14 | through the expression of thoughts, feelings, art, beauty, kind | interactions, or miracles. What is real in the state of unity is what |

T2:12.7 | of prayer, once aligned, call constantly upon the same power of | intercession that is the miracle. This is why we also devoted a fair |
T2:12.7 | device, so you must come to see your own ability to call forth | intercession as a gift and treasure you are able to give in service |

intermediaries (5) |

T4:1.24 | through experience, and saying “no more” to the lessons of the | intermediaries. What has grown in you has grown in your children and |
T4:4.14 | as a choice. Because there was no relationship save that of | intermediaries between the human and the divine, there was no choice |
T4:9.8 | These have been the last of the | intermediaries, these called to a wisdom beyond their personal |
D:13.7 | past because you are living in the time of Christ, a time when no | intermediaries are needed or required. Thus you are not called to |
D:Day39.49 | Only with our willingness joined, are we able to negate the need for | intermediaries and be in relationship. Only with our willingness |
intermediary (30) |
||
T4:2.4 | which is The Way to God and Self. But I also came to provide an | intermediary, for this is what was desired, a bridge between the |
T4:2.4 | self and the divine or remembered Self. Jesus the man was the | intermediary who ushered in the time of the Holy Spirit by calling |
T4:5.12 | choice as one body, one consciousness, to end the time of the | intermediary and to begin to learn directly, you are given the same |
T4:5.13 | loosed of the body by death was the chosen means of the time of the | intermediary, the chosen means of attaining Christ-consciousness and |
T4:7.2 | automatically realize the consciousness of the spirit that was your | intermediary. But just as during the time of the Holy Spirit, your |
T4:7.2 | as in the time of the Holy Spirit the spirit was available to all as | intermediary, during the time of Christ, Christ-consciousness is |
T4:12.7 | let me explain why these written words are not the acts of an | intermediary and why they represent direct learning. |
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:13.7 | are needed or required. Thus you are not called to become an | intermediary trying to bridge the knowing of the separated self and |
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:Day3.35 | told that the time of the Holy Spirit, the time of a need for an | intermediary between yourself and God, is gone. You have been invited |
D:Day3.36 | posed back upon the poser, in order to say: Use me not as an | intermediary. It is only in relationship with the God within that the |
D:Day19.8 | as demonstrations of ways. Those who have thought of Mary as an | intermediary are as inaccurate in this belief as are those who |
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 |
D:Day22.5 | It is clear, when looked at in terms of process, that there is no | intermediary function involved in channeling, but a function of |
D:Day35.9 | no steps to accomplishment. They can be lived immediately. No | intermediary is needed. No tools are needed. All that is needed is |
D:Day39.7 | God. Yet if the time of Christ is about the end of the need for the | intermediary, what becomes of the intermediary relationship Christ |
D:Day39.7 | about the end of the need for the intermediary, what becomes of the | intermediary relationship Christ seems to offer? Are you ready to |
D:Day39.8 | Contemplate the “buffer” nature of all that is | intermediary. An intermediary stands between as well as links. It is |
D:Day39.8 | Contemplate the “buffer” nature of all that is intermediary. An | intermediary stands between as well as links. It is a totally |
D:Day39.10 | When you have discovered your own relationship with me is when an | intermediary is no longer needed—because you have realized and made |
D:Day39.10 | relationship is established you realize that relationship is the | intermediary link between individuated beings and that you hold this |
D:Day39.12 | Relationship itself is | intermediary, it is what you carry, the connection between one thing |
A.19 | of Christ. The time of the Holy Spirit has passed. The time of the | intermediary is over. The greatest intermediary of all has been the |
A.19 | has passed. The time of the intermediary is over. The greatest | intermediary of all has been the mind. It has stood between you and |

C:P.15 | You thus have placed the ego at odds with spirit, giving the ego an | internal and invisible foe to do battle with. This was hardly the |
C:9.44 | examples of your daily life gone awry, are but demonstrations of | internal desires taken to a greater extreme; only these, rather than |
C:14.3 | External activity is but the effect of a cause that remains | internal, and all war is but war upon yourself. |
C:18.8 | world is but a projection that cannot take you away from the | internal world where you exist in wholeness, a link in the chain of |

T2:1.4 | to be other than you are now, including any desires related to those | internal treasures you had once hoped to have become abilities. You |
T3:18.10 | truth realizes that the external world is but a reflection of the | internal world. Thus you can observe with your eyes closed as easily |
T3:22.1 | precepts put forth within this Course, precepts that say that the | internal affects the external, seem as evidence that you will no |
T4:2.1 | Outward seeking is turning inward. Inward or | internal discoveries are turning outward. This is a reverse, a polar |
D:4.12 | to your true identity possible. These patterns are both external and | internal. External divine patterns include the observable forms that |
D:4.12 | divine pattern that created the observable world, and only one | internal divine pattern that created the internal world. The internal |
D:4.12 | world, and only one internal divine pattern that created the | internal world. The internal divine pattern was that of learning. |
D:4.12 | one internal divine pattern that created the internal world. The | internal divine pattern was that of learning. |
D:4.13 | The two patterns, the | internal and the external, were created together to exist in a |
D:4.14 | system of thought. In such a way of thinking, one would take the | internal thought pattern, enhance it with the external pattern, and |
D:4.24 | Let this acceptance of your own | internal authority be your first “act” of acceptance rather than |
D:6.20 | fate? Like all the systems you believe in, it is a system too, an | internal idea given a name, externalized, and blamed for all that you |
D:Day7.8 | from changes in your external circumstances but from changes in your | internal perspective. |
D:Day26.2 | You have sought externally because you have not known of a source of | internal guidance. You have been guided by teachers, counselors, and |
D:Day26.6 | Your self-guidance can be thought of as an | internal compass. It will not necessarily know the answers as each |
D:Day27.7 | You might think of this initially as having two perspectives, an | internal and an external perspective, a human perspective and a |

D:Day8.5 | We are not, when talking of acceptance, talking of externals, but of | internals. We are not talking of the old adage or prayer that calls |
interpret (4) |
||
C:9.14 | your separated self. It is in the attempts of the separated self to | interpret what feelings would say that they become as distorted as |
C:21.7 | by perception. This is a problem of meaning. Mind and heart | interpret meaning in different ways. You do not even begin to |
C:21.7 | it means to you, but I assure you that as long as mind and heart | interpret meaning in different ways you will not find peace. You |
T1:4.17 | in accord with your own views. Others of you feel it necessary to | interpret everything on your own. Without further discussion, you |

C:18.1 | however, with a benevolent God and a benevolent universe. This | interpretation accepts that separation can occur. It cannot. Belief |
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 |
T1:4.21 | them rather than responding to them. They do not require | interpretation but response. Response was what was required in the |
T1:4.21 | expressly for the purpose of not repeating your former reaction or | interpretation of them. You are being revisited with these lessons so |
T4:1.20 | But these indirect means of communication left much open to | interpretation. Different interpretations of indirectly received |
A.15 | The sharing of experience is more appropriate than the sharing of | interpretation. The sharing of process is more appropriate than the |
A.15 | outcome. Facilitators will keep readers from attempting one correct | interpretation, as the only correct interpretation is that which |
A.15 | from attempting one correct interpretation, as the only correct | interpretation is that which comes from each reader’s own internal |
A.16 | Is there, in other words, perhaps no “right” answer or correct | interpretation, but “wrong” answers and inaccurate interpretations? |
A.16 | will inevitably receive the answer and come to the understanding or | interpretation that is “right” for them. |
interpretations (6) |
||
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:27.15 | “you” that dictates your responses to situations based on surface | interpretations of what those situations entail. It is rather the you |
T1:8.3 | is only one truth in time or eternity regardless of the variety of | interpretations of the truth. |
T4:1.20 | means of communication left much open to interpretation. Different | interpretations of indirectly received truth resulted in different |
T4:2.9 | speak of this because it is in your awareness and because many false | interpretations of this time as a time of judgment and of separating |
A.16 | answer or correct interpretation, but “wrong” answers and inaccurate | interpretations? This is a matter of unity versus separation rather |
interpreted (3) |
||
C:22.8 | Meaning is similarly | interpreted. Intersections that create function and purpose are |
T4:3.4 | fear. It is as simple as that. Yet the way in which each of you have | interpreted this displacement has come to seem quite complex. |
D:Day29.4 | of saying this is bringing who you are into wholeness, which can be | interpreted both as bringing all that you are into existence and as |
interpreter (1) |
||
C:18.22 | body seems to be in charge and to be both the experiencer and the | interpreter of experience. In addition, this misperception has |
interpreting (1) |
||
T1:4.21 | a new way, if you meet these experiences again with the attitude of | interpreting them rather than responding to them. They do not require |
interprets (1) |
||
T1:4.17 | Let us speak a moment of this interpretation. That each of you | interprets what you see, read, hear, smell, and touch differently |
interrelated (3) |
||
C:6.4 | the same because we are not separate. God created the universe as an | interrelated whole. That the universe is an interrelated whole is no |
C:6.4 | the universe as an interrelated whole. That the universe is an | interrelated whole is no longer disputed even by science. What you |
T3:16.17 | system of the truth builds upon itself and forms a real and true | interrelated whole. What forms the House of Truth is love eternal and |
interrelationship (2) |
||
D:17.19 | You now must understand the fullness of the well of your heart, the | interrelationship of desire and fulfillment. The interrelationship of |
D:17.19 | of your heart, the interrelationship of desire and fulfillment. The | interrelationship of desire and fulfillment is what occurs at the |
interrupted (1) |

A.10 | Again it is not required nor even recommended that these readings be | interrupted by a search for meaning. Listen. Respond. Let meaning be |

C:13.8 | yourself distracted by these memories, do not push them aside as | interruptions in your day, but know that anything that distracts you |
intersection (22) |
||
C:21.2 | exists between one thing and another and that it is in the | intersection of parts that the holiness of what is in-between is |
C:22.2 | for both head and heart. We will begin by discussing the concept of | intersection and look at it as a passing-through that establishes a |
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 |
D:Day6.4 | spoken of your point of access to unity as one of convergence, | intersection, and pass-through. Can you see the similarities between |
D:Day6.5 | Movement , Being, Expression; Convergence, | Intersection, Pass-through. |
D:Day6.30 | being, and expression coming together. The point of convergence, | intersection, and pass-through. This is it! Right here in your life |
D:Day7.7 | that you will have with time. This is a time of convergence, | intersection, and pass-through of the finite and the infinite, of |
D:Day7.11 | spoken of as movement, being, and expression; and convergence, | intersection and pass-through. |

D:Day22.7 | that you have touched, experienced, sensed, or felt with such | intimacy that it is known to you because the knowing becomes real in |
A.39 | This is a time of great | intimacy. This is a time that is between you and I more so than has |
