| C:26.11 | have cried about in frustration? Have you not long sought to put a | name on happiness? Have you not long lamented that if you knew what |
| T2:6.10 | word made flesh. Remember that the phrase, the Son of God, and the | name Christ, but represent the original creation and are not to be |

| T2:11.14 | as we have given your relationship with your separate identity the | name of ego. Here, we are asking you to choose the one real |
| T3:17.7 | has ended and the time of the second coming of Christ is here. The | name of Christ was associated with my name, the name Jesus, because I |
| T3:17.7 | coming of Christ is here. The name of Christ was associated with my | name, the name Jesus, because I lived as a man with a Holy Spirit in |
| T3:17.7 | Christ is here. The name of Christ was associated with my name, the | name Jesus, because I lived as a man with a Holy Spirit in my mind |
| T3:21.11 | desire to discover these unknown circumstances. For your birth, your | name, the history of your family and the accumulated experiences of |
| T3:21.12 | claimed to be your own in the way few things, in addition to your | name and family of origin ever are. Even the most materialistic among |
| T3:21.17 | while you have a body that is different from all the rest, a | name that distinguishes you from some and yet links you with some, a |
| T4:8.14 | static and unchanging! How could this possibly be said of one whose | name and identity is synonymous with creation? You like to think that |
| D:6.20 | systems you believe in, it is a system too, an internal idea given a | name, externalized, and blamed for all that you do not understand, |
| D:Day1.11 | think that, as long as the power is called forth, it matters not the | name by which it is called. You may think that it all comes from the |
| D:Day30.3 | A denominator is a named entity. To denominate is to | name. “In the beginning” the separate expressions of the whole were |
| D:Day30.3 | a common denominator of wholeness. In our act of saying it is so, we | name or denominate the Self as what is common to wholeness. Despite |

named (8) |

| C:9.13 | your connection to all that is. This is useful because what you have | named and classified is harder to dislodge and bring to light. Even |
| T3:2.2 | but it also becomes something in truth, something that has been | named art. Art becomes something in truth by expanding awareness, or |
| D:Day5.5 | Do not fight any of these feelings or others that I have not | named. Just consider them givens and choose what feels most natural |
| D:Day30.3 | A denominator is a | named entity. To denominate is to name. “In the beginning” the |
| D:Day30.3 | name. “In the beginning” the separate expressions of the whole were | named. This naming was an act of creation, stating simply the |
| D:Day30.3 | was an act of creation, stating simply the existence of what was | named or denominated. Existence and wholeness are the same. Thus your |
| D:Day37.4 | name, that you belong to a family, all of whom are separately | named and have separate roles, and that you live in a household, in a |
| D:Day39.18 | what you projected and called God, just as what you projected and | named thousands of other “things,” you separated from yourself only |

| C:20.3 | at the breast of the queen mother earth, one child of one mother, | nameless and beyond naming. No “I” resides here. You have given up |

names (9) |

| C:P.39 | identity. This shared identity made Jesus one with Christ. The two | names mean the same thing, as oneness is what was always shared and |
| C:3.7 | but a representation. You see a thousand forms a day with different | names and different functions and you think not that they are all the |
| C:7.3 | —a comparison that seeks out differences and magnifies them and | names one thing this and one thing that—is the basis of all |
| C:9.16 | the rest of your emotions, comes in many guises and is given many | names, but there are really only two emotions: one is fear, the other |
| C:13.5 | what you recall of spirit is love. You will want to give it many | names at first, and might not even recognize it as love, for it will |
| T2:11.4 | service the ego can do you. The ego is the one untruth, given many | names and many faces and the only thing given by you the power to do |
| T3:17.6 | an aspect of who you are and Who God Is. Let me remind you also that | names, such as Holy Spirit, are but word symbols that represent what |
| T3:17.7 | heart and as such represented the truth. Many others by many other | names have represented the truth and in so doing dispelled illusion |
| D:1.12 | meaning, the sacrament I now call you to restores meaning. Since new | names are only symbols of new identities, renaming is not required or |
naming (3) |
||
| C:20.3 | the queen mother earth, one child of one mother, nameless and beyond | naming. No “I” resides here. You have given up the vision of your |
| T3:17.2 | with the self. This is why the story of creation includes the | naming of creatures. It was the beginning of perception and of the |
| D:Day30.3 | beginning” the separate expressions of the whole were named. This | naming was an act of creation, stating simply the existence of what |
narrow (1) |

| C:5.23 | of choice is a fantasy and that you are powerless indeed. You thus | narrow what you want and go after it with single-minded |

| C:27.1 | being to being human. In your quest to identify yourself, you simply | narrowed yourself to the visible and describable. Thus you have |
| T2:10.5 | to what you have done by replacing unity with singularity. You have | narrowed your ability to know to an ability to know that which you |
| D:6.25 | of learning, representative of a learning being. The ego, however, | narrowed your ideas of what the body was here to learn to ideas of |
nationalities (1) |

| C:P.30 | be, and yet a return to the “family of origin” is also seen as | natural. Children go away for a time, eager to assert their |
| C:7.3 | of individuals, pieces of land, systems and organizations, the | natural world and the mechanistic world, heaven and earth, divine and |
| C:8.12 | goal you seek, the goal that is no goal but your only reality, the | natural state in which you would exist but for your decision to |
| C:8.21 | There are days you will feel quite of the earth, as if this is your | natural home and heaven to your soul. On other days your feeling will |
| C:9.35 | errors in perception. Correction, or atonement, returns you to your | natural state where true vision lies and error and sin disappear. |
| C:9.36 | Your | natural state is one of union, and each joining that you do in holy |
| C:10.11 | Let us talk a moment here of miracles. Simply stated, miracles are a | natural consequence of joining. Magic is your attempt to do miracles |
| C:13.1 | sisters are not their bodies, any more than you are yours. This is a | natural extension of observing your body in action, because as your |
| C:18.10 | was not only unbelievable but also inconceivable to you in your | natural state. Experience was required in order to alter your belief |
| C:20.30 | expressions of love that creation continues and miracles become | natural occurrences. |
| C:20.31 | This cooperation is | natural when fear has been rejected. You have long embraced fear and |
| C:21.7 | You have, in the past, accepted these different interpretations as | natural. You see that there are two ways of viewing a situation, even |
| C:27.11 | in relationship. Relationship is unity, and relationship is your | natural state. It is who you are. |
| C:28.11 | Witnesses are for the mind and fall short of devotion, which is the | natural response of those who know and worry not of what to do. This |
| T1:2.16 | dark, to a desire to eat an evening meal. It signals change in the | natural world around you. Birds and squirrels and flowers too have a |
| T1:2.17 | It is a fact of your existence as a human being, a part of the | natural world, a gift of the Creator. Secondly, it is experienced |
| T1:2.17 | relationally. It speaks to you and you to it. It binds you to the | natural world and to the present but also to the higher world and the |
| T1:3.9 | cure is a miracle and not the result of scientific discovery or the | natural course an illness was bound to take? What miracle could be |
| T1:4.3 | as one. They are the state in which blessings flow. They are your | natural state. |
| T1:4.13 | not be met without you. Response is given and thus genuine. It is a | natural act of giving and receiving as one. Responsibility is a |
| T1:7.2 | important here, as these may not see suffering as pain but only as a | natural part of being human that calls for acceptance. They thus find |
| T1:8.16 | It is one more demonstration of the union that returns you to your | natural state. It is one more demonstration of cause and effect being |
| T2:4.18 | of time dissolves, the state of miracle-readiness becomes your | natural state. |
| T2:6.10 | this change in thinking will release your heart, returning it to its | natural realm. Thus does mind and heart join in unity in the present, |
| T3:18.3 | was part of the original choice for the physical experience, it is a | natural choice to serve our new purpose of the miracle that will |
| T3:18.9 | it is no longer instructed by the thought system of illusion, it is | natural to realize that it will now be instructed by the thought |
| T4:2.20 | Your brothers and sisters are as holy as your Self. Holiness is the | natural harmony of all that was created as it was created. |
| T4:2.22 | Observation of what is, is a | natural effect of the cause of a heart and mind joined in unity. This |
| T4:3.6 | For every being there is a | natural state of being that is joyful, effortless, and full of love. |
| T4:3.6 | is also an unnatural state of being. Both states of being—the | natural and the unnatural—exist in relationship. While relationship |
| T4:3.6 | is also what has kept you seemingly forever unable to return to your | natural state of being. The fear that was birthed along with the |
| T4:3.7 | judged God from within the nature of fear, believing it to be your | natural state. |
| T4:3.8 | As the | natural state of love is returned to you, judgment falls away because |
| T4:3.9 | The vision that will arise in you now is not new. It is your | natural vision, the vision of love. What is new is the elevation of |
| T4:3.9 | of the personal self that will be caused by the return of your | natural state of love. This is where observation comes in. |
| T4:3.11 | Vision is the | natural means of knowing of all who were created in love. Observation |
| T4:3.11 | means of knowing of all who were created in love. Observation is the | natural means of sharing what is known in physical form. |
| T4:3.12 | The physical form is not the | natural or original form of the created. Vision is the means by which |
| T4:3.13 | one of change. That the nature, even of form, once returned to its | natural state of love, is one of unity and everlasting life. |
| T4:4.2 | of your life, like that of all around you, is governed by seasons | natural to the state of love, seasons of regeneration. |
| T4:4.7 | This idea of inheritance is a | natural idea arising from the nature of creation itself. It is an |
| T4:4.8 | I have spoken of as that of elevation of the personal self, is a | natural part of the pattern of life-everlasting. It is long over-due. |
| T4:4.15 | choice, to leave human form. To abide in unity is to abide in your | natural state, a state of life-everlasting. To abide in a state of |
| T4:6.3 | is the binding realization that will return all, as one body, to the | natural state of Christ-consciousness. |
| T4:6.4 | observant. A shared vision of unity and a return of all to the state | natural to all is what I ask you to imagine, envision and desire. |
| T4:6.5 | no one’s vision. Your brothers and sisters who do not choose their | natural state still are who they are and holy as yourself. Your |
| T4:7.5 | to know fear or judgment. What we are speaking of is abiding in your | natural state. Your natural state is one free of fear and judgment. |
| T4:7.5 | What we are speaking of is abiding in your natural state. Your | natural state is one free of fear and judgment. This is all that |
| T4:7.5 | and judgment. This is all that makes up the difference between your | natural state and your unnatural state. As your natural state returns |
| T4:7.5 | between your natural state and your unnatural state. As your | natural state returns to you through a heart and mind joined in |
| T4:7.5 | mind joined in unity, your body too will exist or abide within this | natural state. It cannot help to, as it, just like your heart, exists |
| T4:8.5 | and changed, ebbed and flowed, materialized and dematerialized in | natural cycles of the creation process that once begun was unending |
| T4:10.12 | but sing a song of gladness. Expression of the Self of love is the | natural state of being of those who have moved beyond learning to |
| D:1.3 | still “struggling,” still fumbling along. You do not see the | natural grace and order of the universe extending into the realm of |
| D:1.22 | You who have joined mind and heart in unity have returned to a | natural state of knowing in which learning is no longer needed. You |
| D:2.5 | for the desired end is that of formal education. Education has a | natural endpoint. When the education of a doctor, teacher, scientist, |
| D:5.19 | content of the form you occupy. We return the form you occupy to its | natural state. Only then can we proceed to creation of the new. |
| D:6.10 | is beginning to see much as it truly is, scientists still look for | natural laws that govern what is in an “if this, then that” world. |
| D:6.11 | a doomsday attitude, but an attitude that accepts that scientific or | natural law and the law of spirit are not the same. |
| D:6.12 | that the laws of spirit and the laws of man coexist. Yes, there are | natural laws, but these “natural” laws are not the sets of facts you |
| D:6.13 | to happen, scientists would quickly determine the existence of a | natural law that allowed this event to happen. It would require the |
| D:6.18 | What you have done is turn them into implacable rules you call | natural laws. When these natural laws have been shown at times to not |
| D:6.18 | is turn them into implacable rules you call natural laws. When these | natural laws have been shown at times to not apply, you consider |

| D:6.27 | of the formless. But the true Self cannot cease to experience its | natural state, the state of Christ-consciousness, sharing in unity, |

| D:8.2 | easily to you, something you might have said or been told you have a | natural talent or ability to do. These things some of you have |
| D:8.2 | some of you have practiced or studied to take advantage of your | natural ability and in doing so may have found a continued ability to |
| D:8.2 | been discouraged by not being able to be the “best” despite your | natural talent or ability, and have given up “working hard” to be the |
| D:8.3 | instead on the very simple idea of each of you containing a | natural ability or talent that existed in some form prior to the time |
| D:8.4 | When you have realized that you are “more” than your body, your | natural talent or ability has been one of the primary factors leading |
| D:8.6 | idea will aid you too in your understanding of discovery, as your | natural abilities or talents were discovered and in that discovery, |
| D:8.7 | include much that goes beyond what you now think of as your | natural talents or abilities, the place or Source of your natural |
| D:8.7 | of as your natural talents or abilities, the place or Source of your | natural talents or abilities is a place from which to start building |
| D:8.10 | desired to express yourself in the past is very likely linked to the | natural ability or talent you did not have to learn, to that which |
| D:8.12 | the place of shared consciousness, the place of wholeness. The | natural ability that you recognize as a given and unlearned aspect of |
| D:9.12 | Like the | natural abilities you discovered existed within you prior to the time |
| D:9.14 | the dot in the wider circle and accept that your discovery of your | natural talent or ability and your discovery of new ideas are |
| D:10.1 | wider circle of unity is timeless. What comes to you in the form of | natural abilities or talents, as ideas, as imagination, as |
| D:13.5 | capable of coming to know in wholeness, a way that is actually | natural to you, it will seem so foreign at times that you will feel |
| D:Day3.11 | all, but only for a few, you think of it much like the “given” of | natural gifts or talents, the “givens” of fresh and inspired ideas. |
| D:Day3.44 | Abundance is the | natural state of unity and thus your natural state, just as certainty |
| D:Day3.44 | Abundance is the natural state of unity and thus your | natural state, just as certainty rather than uncertainty is your |
| D:Day3.44 | natural state, just as certainty rather than uncertainty is your | natural state, just as joy rather than sorrow is your natural state. |
| D:Day3.44 | is your natural state, just as joy rather than sorrow is your | natural state. What you are being asked to do here, is to open the |
| D:Day4.6 | The divine design of learning was a given and a | natural part of you, much like breathing. You have no choice about |
| D:Day4.8 | this is the way learning was designed to be. Learning was given as a | natural means of access to all that was available to you, but not |
| D:Day4.13 | You have been told that in unity a “place” exists that is your | natural state, a state free from want, a state free from suffering, a |
| D:Day4.20 | In the time of learning, however, it was | natural that my example life was seen as something from which to |
| D:Day4.29 | of who you are. This access is, like breathing, something that is | natural to you until you begin to think about it. Realize how |
| D:Day4.29 | Thinking about breathing imposes an unnatural constraint upon a | natural function. |
| D:Day4.30 | be rightly seen as a constraint you but try to impose on all that is | natural. Your thinking, since it is a product of learning, does |
| D:Day4.30 | learning, does nothing but attempt to learn or teach. These are the | natural responses of its training. Thus, a major key to your |
| D:Day4.31 | excellence. Why? Because a film of the unnatural is placed over the | natural. |
| D:Day4.32 | Access simply exists within your | natural state, much like breathing is simply a fact of the natural |
| D:Day4.32 | your natural state, much like breathing is simply a fact of the | natural life of the body. |

| D:Day4.33 | as a form of meditation. In doing so, they let the natural serve the | natural. Some might “go into” the breathing and become one with it. |
| D:Day4.38 | Love of self and love of your brothers and sisters, love of the | natural world, of the world of form that is, love of the idea of the |
| D:Day5.4 | meditation, a meditation that is not a tool but a function of your | natural Self, is a focus on access. Thus we begin with what feels |
| D:Day5.4 | natural Self, is a focus on access. Thus we begin with what feels | natural to you. We give access a focal point in the realm of form. |
| D:Day5.5 | have not named. Just consider them givens and choose what feels most | natural to you as a focal point for your focus on access. |

| D:Day7.16 | When your | natural state is fully returned to you and sustained within |
| D:Day7.16 | in the state of union as there are no attributes to love. The | natural created Self is all that is. Reverence prevails. |
| D:Day7.19 | we have spoken of are thus not new conditions. They are conditions | natural to your Self, to a mind and heart joined in union. It was the |
| D:Day8.21 | accept your feelings in present time and begin to be aware of your | natural ability to respond truly because you have accepted your |
| D:Day9.32 | You have just completed a monumental learning challenge and so your | natural pattern would be to keep going now, to use the momentum of |
| D:Day15.9 | and effect to occur naturally rather than having your judgment alter | natural cause and effect. This practice will continue to serve you |

| D:Day24.2 | exists in you. Nothing can take wholeness from you. It is as | natural to you as it is to all of creation. It does not exist only |
| D:Day30.1 | is simply that which yields to wholeness. This yielding is a | natural process. To yield is to give up, surrender, but also to |
| D:Day32.7 | turned loose, proceeding from its beginnings under scientific or | natural laws. |
| D:Day32.15 | not be all that is, or God would not be in relationship. If the | natural world around you has revealed anything to you of the nature |
| E.5 | You are returned to your | natural Self, and as you begin to move more fully back into your |
| E.5 | into your life, you will realize where the differences between this | natural Self and your former self lie. You will realize that you know |
| A.10 | the Course again—to read it aloud—to hear it spoken. This is a | natural desire to let the words of the Course enter you in yet |

| C:11.17 | when you know it you need not give it, for it will extend from you | naturally in miracles called love. Love is all that will fill your |
| C:18.20 | the thought or language of your heart with that which you more | naturally perceive as thought, the words and images that “go through” |
| C:19.1 | well as a spirit self desiring the experience of separation, would | naturally lead to a situation where the whole range of experiences |
| C:19.4 | unification of mind and heart, after which unification with God is | naturally returned to your awareness, for this unification returns |
| C:20.31 | actions and the results of your actions in a universe of love will | naturally be different from your actions and the results of your |
| C:20.46 | you could have anything to do with world peace, realize that you | naturally have reacted with resistance. You must replace your |
| C:22.15 | be what they are and, allowed to be what they are, their meaning is | naturally revealed. What this takes is a pass-through approach and a |
| T1:4.2 | asked to request a specific miracle. Although your thoughts have | naturally gone to consideration of the specific, this is but an |

| D:1.19 | As you begin this Dialogue, questions | naturally arise. You might think that for the receiver, or |
| D:2.3 | The patterns of the new will begin to arise | naturally when you deny the patterns of the old. As you have been |
| D:6.11 | living in an “if this, then that” world, then the same laws will | naturally not apply. You developed an “if this, then that” world |
| D:8.7 | While discovery of the new will | naturally include much that goes beyond what you now think of as your |

| D:Day13.8 | is not only possible but inevitable. True relationship exists | naturally in the state of harmony that is the spacious Self. This is |
| D:Day14.8 | The invisible or spacious Self is the Self through which pass-through | naturally occurs because there are no blocks or boundaries, no |
| D:Day15.9 | observers. Being neutral observers allowed cause and effect to occur | naturally rather than having your judgment alter natural cause and |

| C:1.3 | heart must beat for the life of your self to take place. This is the | nature of your reality. Love is as essential to your being as the |
| C:1.4 | You do not understand this only because you do not understand the | nature of your own thoughts. You have placed them inside your body, |
| C:8.12 | exist but for your decision to reject your reality and your true | nature. |
| C:9.6 | the means for joining, but for joining that is of a temporary | nature. It is as capable of violence as gentleness. It is born and |
| C:9.34 | look upon this world with guilt and see it as evidence of your evil | nature. It reinforces your belief that you have changed too much from |
| C:10.7 | at replacing what was negative with messages of a more positive | nature. And these are but messages of an outside source! Your own |
| C:10.24 | now, “Of course that is the way we hear our thoughts—it is the | nature of thought.” But have you ever before considered the nature of |
| C:10.24 | is the nature of thought.” But have you ever before considered the | nature of your thoughts, or have you merely taken them for granted? |
| C:12.16 | largely not within your understanding, only exemplifies the | nature of the error in need of correction. While words, as symbols, |
| C:12.19 | would not change who that person was, or who his father was, or the | nature of the family he was born into. All that would change would be |
| C:14.28 | of love from you, or replace so quickly the glory that is your | nature with the specialness that is not. |
| C:17.4 | you shield yourself from knowledge of it as if it would change the | nature of the universe itself. It will change your perception of it. |
| C:17.9 | not offer. Yet this is due to your lack of understanding about the | nature of creation, and can be corrected. |
| C:18.3 | falling out of orbit would cause dire consequences of a universal | nature. It is simply less obvious that you are part of what has |
| C:18.4 | what you think you have done. You think that you have changed the | nature of the universe and made it possible for life to exist |
| C:18.12 | that great amounts of time are needed before change of a lasting | nature can occur. This is why miracles save time, for they integrate |
| C:19.2 | Thus was fear born, for a separate self is a fearful self by its | nature. How could it not be? |
| C:20.25 | Thankfulness is the | nature of your being. It could not be otherwise when awe and |
| C:20.31 | Now the reverse is true. This reversal of truth has changed the | nature of your universe and the laws by which it operates. The laws |
| C:20.32 | Father, saying, “They know not what they do,” I was expressing the | nature of my brothers and sisters as caused by fear. To accept your |
| C:20.40 | are judged. While the gift is still given, the judgment changes the | nature of the gift by limiting its ability to be of service. A gift |
| C:23.2 | knowing. The relationship becomes the known. While it is your | nature to seek for more, it is also the nature of life to exist in |
| C:23.2 | the known. While it is your nature to seek for more, it is also the | nature of life to exist in relationship and to become known through |
| C:23.7 | with the other person. This should tell you something about the | nature of love. |
| C:25.14 | of fate, or an excuse to challenge the mighty forces of humanity or | nature, will eventually lose the game they play. True invulnerability |
| C:27.1 | Father, knowing that such oneness is not compatible with the human | nature you ascribe to yourself. In this one error do all errors lie. |
| C:29.15 | and to provide. To have needs met and to meet needs. This circular | nature of the universe leaves no one unattended. Yet you realize this |
| C:29.17 | or holy relationship, rather than special relationship. This is the | nature of existence, as unity is the nature of existence and cannot |
| C:29.17 | relationship. This is the nature of existence, as unity is the | nature of existence and cannot be changed and has not changed, |
| C:29.17 | although you believe it not. It is a joyful relationship, as the | nature of relationship is joy. Once you have given up your belief in |
| C:29.25 | look at them thus? And can you not come to understand the reciprocal | nature of giftedness? That what God has given only needs to be |
| C:30.4 | time that can be kept. The only thing real about time is its eternal | nature. |
| C:30.9 | words promised and words given in truth. For no love is finite in | nature. Love has no beginning and no end. Love is a demonstration and |
| C:30.11 | be aware of gain without loss while you believe in what is finite in | nature. The cycle of giving and receiving is thus never complete, and |
| C:30.11 | loss, but they are. All thinking that is of a “if this, then that” | nature is thinking in terms of gain and loss. This is why we have |
| C:30.11 | viewed from a stance of “if this, then that.” It rules the | nature of your existence because you have made it ruler by abandoning |
| C:31.9 | You need but look at creation’s projection to understand the | nature of perfection and your own Self as Creator and Created. Being |
| C:31.36 | Thus, as you move from acquaintances to relationships of a deeper | nature, you quickly determine the nature of those relationships and |
| C:31.36 | to relationships of a deeper nature, you quickly determine the | nature of those relationships and have an investment in them staying |
| T1:2.7 | You thus applied your thoughts to learning subjects of a specific | nature. Through this focus you believed you accomplished much. You |
| T1:2.10 | The thoughts of your ego-mind were ruled by the | nature of the body. To exist as creatures whose only thoughts are of |
| T1:2.19 | inherent in the experience, the call for a response, and the | nature of all gifts as being given to all. |
| T1:2.22 | To acknowledge the relationship and the | nature of the gift is to realize unity. To realize the call for a |
| T1:3.8 | to get you to change your mind about who you are and thus about the | nature of your thoughts. |
| T1:4.6 | is to acknowledge relationship, the call for a response, and the | nature of all gifts as being given to all. This is thus a call to |
| T1:8.3 | realization of this change of enormous proportions. The very | nature of change is one of slow realization. Change occurs all around |
| T1:8.4 | the past two thousand years without your comprehension of it. The | nature of life changed with the resurrection. I am the resurrection |
| T2:1.1 | it will become your identity. We will begin by discussing the | nature of treasure. |
| T2:2.3 | That rising and setting with the sun is in their blood, in the very | nature of who they are. That being one with the land is essential to |
| T2:2.7 | before following a calling, who look for reasons of a practical | nature, who would seek guarantees of the rightness and outcome of |
| T2:2.7 | and to imagine the existence of that which will reveal its true | nature and its joy. |
| T2:4.10 | step in our work with regard to calling is recognizing the dualistic | nature of your thoughts and feelings. A second step is willingness to |
| T2:4.18 | speed, a speed that cannot be measured because of its simultaneous | nature. As was said within A Course of Love, time is but a |
| T2:5.1 | comes as a light shone into the darkness and is revelatory in | nature. Other calls will come as announcements, signs, or even as |
| T2:5.2 | Again let me stress the present-moment | nature of being called. A call is, at its most basic level, a means |
| T2:6.7 | known fact, an object with an identity, but also part of the ongoing | nature of creation. Could this be true of a chair and not be true of |
| T2:7.21 | as one becomes simply an aspect of your identity and accepted as the | nature of who you are in truth. |
| T2:8.2 | go. All that will complement who you are must be received. Thus the | nature of many relationships may be required to change. Remember now |
| T2:8.6 | of who you are and to come to an acceptance of the unchangeable | nature of this truth. This is akin to being done with seeking. This |
| T2:9.12 | that no matter how good or right or meaningful, loses its creative | nature by remaining static. |
| T2:10.6 | to be distinguishable from wants by a discussion of their shared | nature, so too now must knowing be distinguished from what you |
| T3:4.7 | ego-self with another. The training of this Course, while gentle in | nature, has been great, as great as that of any military training, as |
| T3:10.6 | past you have struggled with only because you did not realize the | nature of the situation as a lesson or recognize that all lessons are |
| T3:13.7 | old idea is consistent with all beliefs of an “if this then that” | nature. You might start practicing this idea by repeating these words |
| T3:14.12 | is not of you but of God. You might think of this in terms of | nature and look upon nature’s ability to correct itself. You are a |
| T3:14.12 | and look upon nature’s ability to correct itself. You are a part of | nature. Your body can correct or heal itself, and so can your mind |
| T3:15.1 | the births of new family members form new configurations in a life. | Nature begins anew each spring. |
| T3:15.16 | can, with the help of the new thought system, change the very | nature of the self described by the words human being. This calls for |
| T3:16.3 | much advancement to the forms you occupy without changing their | nature in the slightest measure. All the effort of the ego has not |
| T3:17.2 | go in determining, through its processes, what this says about the | nature of humankind but it is closer every day to understanding the |
| T3:17.3 | beginnings and endings to the finite experience of time. It is the | nature of what is finite to begin and end. Birth and death are all |
| T3:19.14 | being moved to believe that they mean anything at all about the | nature of who you are. This is why no more time can be wasted and why |
| T3:20.10 | new thought system is not tied to beliefs of an “if this, then that” | nature. Look at the examples all around you. People who live what you |
| T3:21.18 | This will cause your existence to seem to have more of a dualistic | nature for a short time while you carry observance forward into |
| T3:22.10 | tired of the way things were, uninterested in matters of a personal | nature. This very readiness is what I now call your attention to as I |
| T4:1.7 | allows no room for choice. In their rebellion against the mandatory | nature of their chosenness or opportunity, they might easily choose |
| T4:1.7 | or opportunity, they might easily choose not to learn. The | nature of life, however, is one of learning, and if they do not learn |
| T4:1.19 | what they came to know through similarly indirect means. This is the | nature of learning and of sharing in relationship. Means and end are |
| T4:1.20 | continued to occur even unto this time. You have learned much of the | nature of the truth by seeing what you have perceived as the contrast |
| T4:2.7 | That those who came before did not become aware of their true | nature does not mean that it did not exist; that there are others |
| T4:2.7 | among you in this time who will not become aware of their true | nature does not mean that it does not exist within them. You are no |
| T4:2.12 | realizing that the elevated “place” they briefly hold is of a finite | nature, that others will soon do the same, and that those who follow |
| T4:2.28 | I could see my brothers and sisters “in Christ” or in their true | nature. I saw them in union and relationship, where they saw |
| T4:3.3 | self is still in need of being elevated—elevated to its original | nature—by its original nature or intent. The devotion of the |
| T4:3.3 | being elevated—elevated to its original nature—by its original | nature or intent. The devotion of the observant will return you to |
| T4:3.4 | Original intent has everything to do with the | nature of things for original intent is synonymous with cause. The |
| T4:3.4 | in observable form. This original intent or cause formed the true | nature of the personal self capable of being observed in |
| T4:3.4 | intent, while it did not change the original cause, formed a false | nature for the personal self. This displacement of the original |
| T4:3.5 | and to express who you are is the result of the displacement of the | nature of love with the nature of fear. What we now are about is |
| T4:3.5 | are is the result of the displacement of the nature of love with the | nature of fear. What we now are about is reversing this displacement |
| T4:3.5 | about is reversing this displacement and returning you to your true | nature. |
| T4:3.6 | birthed along with the erroneously inherited idea that it was your | nature to be separate and alone and thus fearful, made relationships |
| T4:3.7 | fear’s veracity. While you chose to believe and live in a world the | nature of which was fear, you could not know God. You could not know |
| T4:3.7 | God. You could not know God because you judged God from within the | nature of fear, believing it to be your natural state. |
| T4:3.10 | Vision will allow you to see the | nature of the world and all that exists within it truly. Observation |
| T4:3.10 | you to elevate the personal self to its rightful place within the | nature of a world of love. |
| T4:3.12 | form of the created. Vision is the means by which the original | nature of the created can once again be known. Observation is the |
| T4:3.12 | once again be known. Observation is the means by which the original | nature of the created can newly be seen in physical form. Once the |
| T4:3.12 | of the created can newly be seen in physical form. Once the original | nature of the created becomes observable in physical form, physical |
| T4:3.12 | form, physical form will surpass what it once was and become the new | nature of the created. There is no reason why the original nature of |
| T4:3.12 | the new nature of the created. There is no reason why the original | nature of your being cannot become a being the nature of which is |
| T4:3.12 | why the original nature of your being cannot become a being the | nature of which is form if you so choose it to be. There is a reason |
| T4:3.12 | form if you so choose it to be. There is a reason why the original | nature of your being cannot exist in a form unnatural to love. A form |
| T4:3.12 | of your being cannot exist in a form unnatural to love. A form whose | nature is fear cannot house the creation of love. |
| T4:3.13 | alone; not realizing that what lives does not have to die. That the | nature of form can change. That the nature of matter is one of |
| T4:3.13 | does not have to die. That the nature of form can change. That the | nature of matter is one of change. That the nature, even of form, |
| T4:3.13 | can change. That the nature of matter is one of change. That the | nature, even of form, once returned to its natural state of love, is |
| T4:4.2 | of birth as creation and death as rest. You do not realize that your | nature, and the nature of your life, like that of all around you, is |
| T4:4.2 | and death as rest. You do not realize that your nature, and the | nature of your life, like that of all around you, is governed by |
| T4:4.7 | This idea of inheritance is a natural idea arising from the | nature of creation itself. It is an idea of continuity that is an |
| T4:4.10 | has continuously been prolonged without a substantial change in the | nature of life. To think of living on and on as you have lived your |
| T4:4.18 | a representation of Christ-consciousness, it will take on the | nature of Christ-consciousness, of which my life was the example |
| T4:5.11 | ways that the body’s eyes were unable to see, the glory of your true | nature. You are given the chance, just as you are being given the |
| T4:5.11 | just as you are being given the chance now, to choose your true | nature with your free will. |
| T4:6.7 | imagine and desire, in love, without changing the world and the | nature of the human being any more than have those who have come |
| T4:7.5 | of death, needs to be removed from you despite the radical sounding | nature of life-everlasting. You cannot sustain Christ-consciousness |
| T4:7.5 | while judgment remains in you. Why? Because it is not in the | nature of Christ, it is not in the nature of the Christ-Self to know |
| T4:7.5 | Why? Because it is not in the nature of Christ, it is not in the | nature of the Christ-Self to know fear or judgment. What we are |
| T4:7.7 | The conditions are perfect for optimal learning. This is the | nature of the universe. These conditions are perfect not only for |
| T4:8.5 | Creation in form had a starting point. This is the | nature of everything that lives in form. It has a starting point from |
| T4:8.6 | being of God, continued to express love through expression of its | nature, which was of God. What happened in the case of human beings, |
| T4:8.6 | in the case of human beings, was a disconnect from your own true | nature, which in turn caused a disconnect in your ability to express |
| T4:8.7 | The expression of your true | nature should never have been difficult, joyless, or fearful; but you |
| T4:8.8 | from himself? What God could not disconnect from was the true | nature of the being of God, which is love. What God could not |
| T4:8.8 | God, which is love. What God could not disconnect from was the true | nature of creation, which is love. What God, in effect had to do, |
| T4:8.8 | effect had to do, what you in effect had to do in order to live in a | nature inconsistent with that from which God could not disconnect, |
| T4:8.8 | was your will—or in other words, your mind. Just as it is your | nature to breathe oxygen, and not breathing oxygen is thus |
| T4:8.8 | oxygen, and not breathing oxygen is thus inconsistent with your | nature, fearfulness is inconsistent with God. Judgment is |
| T4:8.9 | the Earth to be flat—God saw and knew to be consistent with the | nature of man, even while the fear and struggle that this impatience |
| T4:8.11 | as, as a parent, you come to see that you cannot fight a child’s | nature, no matter how different it might be from your own—just as |
| T4:8.12 | freedom of creation. Your rebellion against the constraints of your | nature in form thus became part of the pattern of creation because it |
| T4:8.16 | done with learning, which is a true desire consistent with your true | nature and your purpose here. To learn everything there is to know |
| T4:9.3 | steps to success. You go out in search of experiences of a mystical | nature. You have tried drugs or hypnosis, meditation or work with |
| T4:12.8 | The simple and complete explanation of the non-intermediary | nature of this dialogue is that it exists in unity. It is given and |
| T4:12.8 | for the separate state. All conditions that were intermediary in | nature during the time of learning, are, during the time of sharing, |
| T4:12.16 | was the effect of the cause of learned wisdom. It became part of the | nature of the human experience by becoming so consistent within you |
| T4:12.16 | the passing down of the human experience, to be integral to your | nature. Have you not always been told and seen examples of man |
| T4:12.31 | form of these dialogues. Sharing in unity is automatic. It is the | nature of Christ-consciousness. Once you have adapted to this nature |
| T4:12.31 | is the nature of Christ-consciousness. Once you have adapted to this | nature you will realize that what is communicated through our |
| D:1.16 | and acting from that truth. Once the truth has been learned, the | nature of untruth remains only as an acceptance of insanity. What I |
| D:2.6 | that you have now completed, learning that has revealed the true | nature of who you are, your inability to realize your completion and |
| D:2.16 | you have attempted to externalize can help you to understand the | nature of patterns. |
| D:2.19 | manage the world without. These systems were attempts to learn the | nature of who you are through external means—the means of learning |
| D:2.19 | of who you are through external means—the means of learning the | nature of the world around you. Thus, in the example of the justice |
| D:2.19 | system, you looked at the world and people around you and found the | nature of both to be hostile. From this faulty conclusion you |
| D:3.8 | like to talk of in a new way. These are ideas that address your true | nature as a being existing in union, and this is why we call them |
| D:3.12 | shared consciousness. Thus giving and receiving as one is now the | nature of the elevated Self of form, and what we work toward through |
| D:3.14 | not occurring. Giving and receiving as one thus simply describes the | nature of the new, the nature of shared consciousness. |
| D:3.14 | receiving as one thus simply describes the nature of the new, the | nature of shared consciousness. |
| D:3.20 | As the system of | nature supports the life of many different trees, the trees are all |
| D:4.10 | Let’s look at each of these terms separately so that we see the | nature of existence in the same way and speak the same language while |
| D:5.1 | acted upon it, distortions that created major departures from the | nature of creation. |
| D:6.26 | Its existence is given as it was always given. But now the very | nature of its existence has changed. I say changed here because you |
| D:7.8 | still exist in a particular time and place, but this is simply the | nature of one aspect of what you are. The nature of form is that it |
| D:7.8 | but this is simply the nature of one aspect of what you are. The | nature of form is that it exists as matter, it occupies space and is |
| D:7.10 | could love spirit or mind, mind or body—because of the dualistic | nature associated with them—now can love all of your Self, all of |
| D:8.8 | not new information. Much of this was taught in “A Treatise on the | Nature of Unity and Its Recognition”. Between the Course and the |
| D:9.9 | The same is true of the beliefs set forth in “A Treatise on the | Nature of Unity and Its Recognition”. What was taught in order to aid |
| D:9.11 | of your conscious awareness. We do this by discussing now the | nature of ideas as opposed to the nature of thoughts. |
| D:9.11 | We do this by discussing now the nature of ideas as opposed to the | nature of thoughts. |
| D:9.12 | They are given and received. They are surprising and pleasing in | nature. You may think that they are the result of learning, of |
| D:11.13 | and sisters that I know who they are, will tell you something of the | nature of who you are if you but let this idea dwell within you and |
| D:12.14 | of another. Or they may be profound insights into your Self or the | nature of the world. |
| D:Day3.7 | make you feel more peaceful, give you comfort of a non-physical | nature. These ideas, whether you realize it or not, are all |
| D:Day12.6 | When an obstacle of form, be it human or material in | nature, seems to present itself, all you must do is remind yourself |
| D:Day13.6 | of love, the lovely complexity of form, the awesome majesty of | nature, all are visible within the One Self because of the |
| D:Day16.5 | taking on form in the actions of others, in instances where acts of | nature or accidents seem to thwart plans, or in “situations” or |
| D:Day16.6 | —was not of the physical world—it returns to its non-physical | nature within the spacious Self. Thus it was not escaped but |
| D:Day24.3 | released. The choice is and is not yours. This power is a force of | nature that exists, not separately from you, but not separately from |
| D:Day24.3 | nature that exists, not separately from you, but not separately from | nature either. It is triggered in any number of ways, only one of |
| D:Day24.3 | meant that the Course is both a trigger of choice and a trigger of | nature. It was meant to convey the action of a catalyst. Now it is up |
| D:Day24.3 | of a catalyst. Now it is up to you whether you allow your true | nature to be revealed. |
| D:Day24.4 | To struggle against your | nature is what you have spent a lifetime doing. Stop. If you allow |
| D:Day24.4 | doing. Stop. If you allow your potential to be released, your true | nature in all its wholeness will be revealed. |
| D:Day24.6 | spirit within that cocoon, is to attempt the impossible. It is the | nature of spirit to become. Its wings poke and prod from within as |
| D:Day27.8 | become more than a concept. As was spoken of in “A Treatise on the | Nature of Unity and Its Recognition”, it will become a trusted |
| D:Day27.8 | a trusted ability and, through practice, lose its dualistic seeming | nature and become as intrinsic to who you are as is breathing. In |
| D:Day27.8 | who you are as is breathing. In this same way, the dualistic seeming | nature of all of life will be revealed to only seem to be so. |
| D:Day27.9 | the biggest revelations yet. All that is now seen as dualistic in | nature can be experienced as different levels of experience of one |
| D:Day28.4 | include commitments to partnerships of a personal or professional | nature. For some these choices include marriage and starting a |
| D:Day28.13 | of those whose major life dilemmas have been of a monetary or career | nature, where success or failure “in life” is seen as the most |
| D:Day32.8 | short. Man lives and has free will. Animals abide by the laws of | nature. God is still a concept. |
| D:Day32.15 | If the natural world around you has revealed anything to you of the | nature of life and God, it has revealed to you the truth of |
| D:Day35.18 | and creating anew, is different than being affected by the ongoing | nature of creation. Saying that you have been affected by creation, |
| D:Day37.22 | appeal to God. Knowing what you are coming to know about the true | nature of God should thus not leave you feeling bereft of a God you |
| D:Day39.2 | No one can give you this answer, not even me, because this is the | nature of who we are. Individuated beings are who we are in |
| D:Day39.8 | Contemplate the “buffer” | nature of all that is intermediary. An intermediary stands between as |
| D:Day39.35 | Only that which is by | nature without attributes can be one in being in union and |
| D:Day39.35 | the moon? Yet love could become all of these, because love, by its | nature, has no attributes. Love is creation’s genesis, the |
| D:Day40.4 | not make you in my image. I created you in love because it is the | nature of a being of love to extend. Realize that it is only when |
| D:Day40.4 | when love is in relationship with being—that love is given its | nature. Realize that it is only when love is in relationship with |
| D:Day40.5 | Love of itself has no | nature. It does not do anything. It just is, and its isness is what I |
| D:Day40.5 | like the application of being to love, gives relationships their | nature, including your relationship with yourself. |
| D:Day40.6 | at individuation and extension, an attempt consistent with the | nature of your being, failed only because you experienced separation |
| D:Day40.10 | creations do once they are extended into form and time. This is the | nature of creation. Creation is about giving attributes to the |
| D:Day40.10 | that she but tries to bring form to the formless. Why? Because the | nature of a being of love is to extend. The nature of a being of love |
| D:Day40.10 | Why? Because the nature of a being of love is to extend. The | nature of a being of love is to bring form to the formless—to bring |
| D:Day40.11 | Love has no attributes, no form, no conditions, no | nature. It simply is. It was said earlier that being is as Love is. |
| E.4 | You have returned to your true | nature. Perhaps you will remember that within A Course of Love you |
| A.4 | which may come before or after completing the “Treatise on the | Nature of Unity and Its Recognition,” you continue to perceive of |
| A.18 | it is too difficult. It goes against all you have learned and the | nature of the reality in which the mind has functioned. In turning to |

| T3:7.2 | you can see that the beliefs put forth in “A Treatise on Unity” are | necessary only to return you to the truth. Since there are no beliefs |

| T4:10.11 | do with the realization that there is no lack. Learning was what was | necessary in order to allow you to fulfill the desired experience of |
| T4:10.11 | love in form is what you are now ready to do. Learning was what was | necessary in order to know who you are and how to express who you |
| T4:12.7 | without need of the written word, the written word will be less | necessary. In the meantime, let me explain why these written words |

| T4:12.34 | the leaving behind of fear and judgment and a separate will, was | necessary to begin creation of the new. Your former willingness to |
| D:1.26 | of your true identity cannot be taught but is the condition | necessary for being who you are and the realization that learning is |
| D:1.26 | for being who you are and the realization that learning is no longer | necessary. |
| D:2.1 | were told within A Course of Love that willingness was all that was | necessary for you to be able to take this Course into your heart and |
| D:2.7 | learn the truth and not accept it is different from learning what is | necessary for a career. To learn the truth and not accept the truth |
| D:2.23 | you not see that acceptance of the new and denial of the old is the | necessary forerunner of our work together in establishing the |
| D:3.5 | it within your ability to mend the rift of duality, a state that was | necessary for the learning of the separated self but that is no |
| D:3.5 | for the learning of the separated self but that is no longer | necessary. The mending of the rift between heart and mind returned |
| D:3.6 | life and death. In this time of Christ, such learning is no longer | necessary, and so these conditions of learning are no longer |
| D:3.6 | longer necessary, and so these conditions of learning are no longer | necessary. Thus one of your first acts of acceptance is the |
| D:5.9 | this seeing of the truth is the first step as it is the step | necessary for the restoration of divine design. True seeing |
| D:7.12 | Discovery is not the same as remembrance. Remembrance was | necessary for your return to your true identity, the Self as it was |
| D:7.21 | is really adaptation. It occurs in reaction to what is perceived as | necessary for survival. |
| D:15.16 | this by the realization that your thinking mind will no longer be | necessary as your access to unity, or Christ-consciousness, is |
| D:15.23 | of learning. You maintain here, in short, all of the conditions | necessary to reach your goal. |
| D:Day1.10 | I believe in my abilities; but I do not accept the spacecraft as | necessary.” Lest this example fail to move you I will continue. |
| D:Day2.15 | you are called to accept yourself. This unconditional acceptance is | necessary. I will give you one final example in order to make our |
| D:Day3.52 | the purpose of the final letting-go, the final surrender that is | necessary for the final acceptance to come into being. |
| D:Day6.8 | of love has developed, and “good enough” or not, completion is | necessary. It may even be a commitment simply to practice, with the |

| D:Day14.1 | All time is included in the spacious Self. Acceptance is | necessary because escape is not possible. Everything that is, is with |
| D:Day15.1 | When you fully realize that sharing is | necessary you will have entered the dialogue. When you have fully |

| D:Day15.11 | it is possible to practice observance in every situation, it is | necessary to practice the ability to inform and be informed with |
| D:Day15.17 | Realize how | necessary dialogue is. Many resist this stage of development because |
| D:Day15.17 | of inner knowing and mistaken this as knowing the self. Movement is | necessary to know the self. The on-going informing or animation of |
| D:Day17.7 | Let’s consider why this representation should be | necessary. |
| D:Day17.8 | are comprised of nothing that is superfluous, but only of the | necessary in the sense that all the given components are necessary |
| D:Day17.8 | only of the necessary in the sense that all the given components are | necessary for wholeness. Representation of the power of |
| D:Day17.8 | of the power of Christ-consciousness in human form was | necessary to complete the cycle of birth, death, and rebirth. |
| D:Day17.10 | the birth of form, and the ascension of the body. Both ways were | necessary. Both ways were necessarily represented or demonstrated. |
| D:Day19.16 | very tricky for those who reach highly individuated states and it is | necessary for those of the way of Mary to support, encourage, and |
| D:Day32.10 | A concept of God is not | necessary. False concepts of God, however, are compromising to God |
| D:Day39.7 | separate and holding you in relationship. Christ has provided the | necessary link between the separate and each other, between all and |

| C:10.20 | you will wonder, at least briefly, why the choice for practicality | needed to be made. Yet if the separated self can look back and see |
| C:12.14 | But one was | needed to end the separation, and in this one are all the rest |
| C:12.14 | could be affected by your free will but your own self? But one was | needed to, of his own free will, join his will with his Father’s for |
| C:14.11 | truly brought you joy. Within it you were happy and felt as if you | needed nothing more than this. It was a relationship so intense that |
| C:18.9 | In order to learn what the idea of separation would teach you, you | needed to believe that you existed in a separated state. Thus, |
| C:18.12 | a function of time, and thus it seems that great amounts of time are | needed before change of a lasting nature can occur. This is why |
| C:19.2 | The complex set of criteria | needed to create a world of separation was, in the instant of |
| C:19.4 | The solution lies in transformation, and that is why you are still | needed here. Beneath the world of illusion that you have made to |

| C:21.5 | a lack of a common language have been set aside when the actions | needed in a certain circumstance have demanded cooperation. You see |
| C:23.25 | you, all experiences will be thus until unlearning is no longer | needed. If you will remember that the one exercise for your mind is |
| C:23.28 | be found guilty when the child has not yet learned that which is | needed for right action? |
| C:25.7 | your inability to receive. Do this practice until it is no longer | needed. |
| C:25.21 | will take place and the lessons of discernment occur. Discernment is | needed only until you are better able to comprehend the whole. |
| C:25.23 | is seen to be necessary, this is exactly when a time of stillness is | needed. You might think of this time of stillness as a time of |
| C:31.6 | not possibly give all the commands necessary if such commands were | needed. Thankfully, you have a brain that fulfills this function, yet |
| C:32.6 | The last and final miracle has occurred, for what miracles are | needed when mind and heart are one and you have returned to the |
| T1:2.1 | Course of Love instructed you to think no more. A break in time was | needed for you to disengage the ego-mind that produced the type of |
| T1:3.8 | jest but ask you to seriously consider just what kind of miracle is | needed to get you to change your mind about who you are and thus |
| T1:3.14 | your willingness. But hold this thought within your mind. What is | needed to convince you will be provided. Such is the urgency of your |
| T1:4.13 | Responsibility but implies a guardianship that is not | needed. Responsibility implies needs that would not be met without |
| T1:7.4 | as your examples any longer. I have said a new way of learning is | needed and is here. To continue to rely on the ways of old, no matter |
| T1:9.6 | of giving birth. This is because, in your version of creation, there | needed to be a giver and a receiver. You knew that giving and |

| T2:4.15 | is atonement and it is continuous and ongoing until it is no longer | needed. Anything continuous and ongoing is part of creation. Thus the |
| T2:12.2 | you have accomplished. Miracles cannot be used, and so your learning | needed to include an ability to distinguish between service and use. |
| T3:1.5 | as the ability to separate fear from love, further guidelines are | needed. |
| T3:3.6 | belief into practice in each instance where you have seen it to be | needed. What this means is that you continue to fail to recognize |
| T3:7.2 | A belief system is not | needed for the truth. Thus you can see that the beliefs put forth in |
| T3:8.1 | truth, and the truth, for this is what we work toward. Symbols are | needed only in the house of illusion, just as are beliefs. The most |
| T3:8.5 | is the only savior, rather than the ego-self, which is all you have | needed saving from. |
| T3:10.1 | to be remembered or known. Thus are more practical lessons | needed in regard to the life of the body that you now will let serve |
| T3:10.5 | place of blame is an idea of acceptance of what is, an idea that is | needed now. |
| T3:15.13 | with assisting you to live what you have learned. Learning was | needed in order to return you to your Self. Despite whatever method |
| T3:17.4 | the thought system of the physical, a thought system that was not | needed before there was physical form. The creation story of Adam and |
| T3:17.8 | The time of the Holy Spirit, or the time in which communication was | needed between the illusion and the truth, must end in order for the |
| T3:21.24 | others to follow. Do not give in to the idea that one special one is | needed nor give to any one a role you would not claim for yourself. |
| T3:21.24 | you would not claim for yourself. No leaders and no followers are | needed. This is quite obviously an old way of thinking. While no one |
| T3:22.2 | Course with your lives and work. Those who feel this call are surely | needed. And each of you will find the sharing of this Course to be |
| T3:22.10 | personal self and the concerns of the personal self behind. You have | needed to become bored with what has been, tired of the way things |
| T4:1.15 | that will dispel this confusion and bring you the certainty that is | needed to create the new world is an understanding of creation and |

| T4:12.10 | is a condition of the separated self, which is why it is no longer | needed. You will not fully realize unity while you continue to hang |
| D:1.5 | this truth? For the mind’s acceptance of this truth is what is | needed. |
| D:1.22 | to a natural state of knowing in which learning is no longer | needed. You have now come upon a curriculum that is impossible to |
| D:1.22 | that is impossible to learn. No teacher is available for none is | needed. And yet many of you still feel what you would describe as a |
| D:2.4 | unity. This pattern has achieved its desired end and so is no longer | needed nor appropriate. While it was once a pattern whose design was |
| D:2.15 | of form, or the elevation of the personal self, new patterns are | needed. |
| D:3.7 | is to begin to declassify all the various aspects of life that were | needed in the time of learning. This is why we began quite truthfully |
| D:3.7 | and opposites, of conflict and opposing forces. This is all that is | needed for the new to triumph over the old. There are no battles |
| D:3.7 | is needed for the new to triumph over the old. There are no battles | needed, no victories hard won through might and struggle. This is |

| D:4.19 | led me to speak of such, for it is you who have felt such as this is | needed. The unlimited freedom offered you is too vast for your |

| D:5.13 | was made would be to create a tome of information, and this is not | needed now. The desire for such is a desire to think through once |
| D:6.2 | you were so entrenched in your false beliefs that their insanity | needed to be stated and stated again. But as we enter this new time |
| D:6.25 | reasons for fear, and a physical form that you came to believe | needed greater and greater resources to maintain. |

| D:13.6 | yet, you will not, at first, fully realize that this sharing is not | needed so much as a means of imparting important knowledge to others, |
| D:13.7 | are living in the time of Christ, a time when no intermediaries are | needed or required. Thus you are not called to become an intermediary |
| D:14.10 | of the new. It paves the way much as each step of learning that was | needed in the time of learning paved the way for the next and then |
| D:15.21 | behind the conditions of learning. Why? Because they are no longer | needed. The time of learning has ended. When this time of becoming |
| D:15.21 | available within unity, or Christ-consciousness, will no longer be | needed. This will be as big a step as was the step that left behind |
| D:Day2.13 | These actions are unchangeable. This is why simple acceptance is | needed. |
| D:Day2.23 | made. And so I responded to that choice. An example of response was | needed. The example was that of a symbolic gesture. It, too, was a |

| D:Day4.23 | stated purpose of A Course of Love: Establishing your identity. You | needed to first know yourself as a being existing in union before you |
| D:Day4.60 | Our forward movement must be achieved, however. But one is | needed to begin this movement. Followers will naturally succeed the |

| D:Day7.2 | for the time of learning. The time of learning would not have been | needed had you not denied your Self. When you saw yourself as |
| D:Day8.16 | your judgments and opinions, but this is highly appropriate and much | needed practice for true certainty. |
| D:Day9.4 | one who can stop you now is yourself. The only permission you ever | needed was your own. |

| D:Day15.20 | stage of movement, it is obvious that movement will always be | needed for the clear pool to not become a stagnant pond. |
| D:Day18.1 | even while moving into the new as they do so. Each way is as | needed now as it was two thousand years ago. |
| D:Day18.4 | is comprised of no superfluous elements. What you feel called to is | needed. |

| D:Day19.1 | see living as who you are in the world as the accomplishment that is | needed from you and yet at times you compare yourselves to those who |
| D:Day19.11 | will be no more. But at this time of transition, both ways are | needed to demonstrate the means of coming to know, which are what all |
| D:Day21.7 | an “eventually.” Teacher and learner are equal and thus neither are | needed any longer. The “transfer” of knowledge is now an act of |
| D:Day21.7 | is now an act of giving and receiving as one. No intermediary is | needed when you exist in union. It is recognized that the knowledge, |

| D:Day22.10 | unknown in ways that you would not, and find your own. Each way is | needed. |
| D:Day23.1 | You must be this. A Course of Love gave you the understanding you | needed in order to realize that you are this. The Treatises gave you |
| D:Day27.3 | the way, pointed you in differing directions, taught you what you | needed to know. This was the external experience of life. Most of you |

| T2:7.14 | This new attitude, then, includes accepting that you have | needs. That you are a being who exists in relationship is the same as |

| T2:7.14 | needs is not the aim of this Course. To come to believe that your | needs are provided for by a Creator and a creation that includes all |
| T2:7.15 | is about recognizing the constant and ongoing exchange that allows | needs to be met. It is trusting that if you have a need for money or |
| T2:7.18 | Who you are cannot be denied in favor of who you “will be.” | Needs cannot be denied as a means of having them cease to be. You who |

| T2:9.1 | a time when you felt from another the desire to help or to meet your | needs. Do not think that this desire is not present in all |

| T2:9.4 | for the meeting of needs. When your life is running smoothly and | needs are being continuously met, you begin to want to hang on to the |
| T2:9.4 | to want to hang on to the relationships that you feel met these | needs because of their ability to meet them. When your needs cease |

| T2:9.7 | shared in the same measure by all. The other sense in which | needs are shared is in the aspect of correspondence. They are shared |
| T2:9.7 | they are known. Every being inherently knows that it shares the same | needs as every other being of its kind. Every being also inherently |
| T2:9.7 | other being of its kind. Every being also inherently knows that | needs and the fulfillment of needs are part of the same fabric—they |
| T2:9.7 | Every being also inherently knows that needs and the fulfillment of | needs are part of the same fabric—they are like puzzle pieces that |

| T2:9.7 | planet are not concerned with needs or need fulfillment. Doing what | needs to be done in order to survive is hardly the same as feeling |
| T2:9.7 | order to survive is hardly the same as feeling that one has a need. | Needs are the domain of the thinking being only. Thinking beings |
| T2:9.7 | are the domain of the thinking being only. Thinking beings share | needs because of the way in which they think. That some seem to have |
| T2:9.7 | because of the way in which they think. That some seem to have more | needs than others is a fallacy of perception. Not one has more needs |
| T2:9.7 | more needs than others is a fallacy of perception. Not one has more | needs than another. |
| T2:9.10 | The extent to which you deny your | needs or are honest about your needs makes the difference in your |
| T2:9.10 | The extent to which you deny your needs or are honest about your | needs makes the difference in your connection or separation within |
| T2:9.10 | relationship. The extent to which you are willing to abdicate your | needs in order to attain something is the extent to which your belief |
| T2:9.11 | as you are content or self-satisfied, or, in other words, feel your | needs are met, the desire to hang on to what you have arises. This is |
| T2:9.12 | you believe you have achieved and have labeled a state in which your | needs are met creates a static level, that no matter how good or |
| T2:9.15 | Because you have not thought previously of | needs as tools every bit as valuable as the others mentioned here, |
| T2:9.15 | may seem difficult to accept. How does the identification of | needs or the dependency inherent in relationships bypass the |

| T2:9.16 | of the mutuality of needs will aid you in being honest about your | needs, thus allowing them to be met. Then the need to define or to |
| T2:9.16 | to be met. Then the need to define or to identify them ceases. Your | needs only continue to be brought to your awareness as needs until |
| T2:9.16 | ceases. Your needs only continue to be brought to your awareness as | needs until your trust in their immediate and ongoing fulfillment is |
| T2:9.16 | Once this trust is realized you will no longer think in terms of | needs at all. Once you are no longer concerned with needs and the |
| T2:9.16 | in terms of needs at all. Once you are no longer concerned with | needs and the meeting of needs you will no longer be concerned with |
| T2:9.16 | all. Once you are no longer concerned with needs and the meeting of | needs you will no longer be concerned with special relationships. You |
| T2:9.17 | Holding on to what you think will meet your | needs is like holding your breath. Your breath cannot long be held. |
| T2:9.17 | that you live. Each time you are tempted to think that your | needs can only be met in special ways by special relationships, |
| T2:9.18 | will no longer think of trust just as you will no longer think of | needs. |
| T2:10.2 | Thinking that | needs can be met only in certain ways is akin to another belief that |

| T2:10.6 | Just as | needs have been shown to be shared in like measure by all, so too is |
| T2:10.6 | to be shared in like measure by all, so too is true knowing. Just as | needs were shown to be distinguishable from wants by a discussion of |

| D:Day17.5 | Christ-consciousness in form, did so as individuals, by not | negating their being as they realized this connection. Many others |

| C:10.7 | that you hear, and after much effort succeeded at replacing what was | negative with messages of a more positive nature. And these are but |
| C:31.15 | your glory, your potential. You neither want to share your most | negative nor your most positive thoughts about yourself. These are |
| T2:4.14 | of these are concepts that you understand truly. Change is not | negative and growth does not imply lack. |
| T2:7.1 | the connotation of reliance on others, or dependence, has taken on a | negative meaning specifically in contrast to your desire to be |

| C:10.13 | union with your neighbor without understanding either union or your | neighbor is something else. This belief will not necessarily bring |

neither (50) |

| C:P.21 | Your good intentions | neither please nor displease God. God simply waits for your return to |
| C:1.18 | A choice for love is a choice for heaven. A choice of fear is hell. | Neither are a place. They are a further reflection of means and end |
| C:3.1 | by being what it is. It does not do anything. It does not strive. It | neither succeeds nor fails. It is neither alive nor dead. And thus it |
| C:3.1 | anything. It does not strive. It neither succeeds nor fails. It is | neither alive nor dead. And thus it always was and always will be. It |
| C:5.11 | believe nor understand that the urges that you feel are real, and | neither good nor bad. Your feelings in truth come from love, your |
| C:6.3 | to teach you, stated as simply and directly as is possible. You are | neither separate nor alone and never were and never can be. All your |
| C:9.15 | from fear that all the rest proceeds. Surely it is easy to see that | neither the desire to control nor to protect would exist without the |
| C:9.17 | and lack of love. Others misunderstand you and know you not, and | neither can you make any sense of them. |
| C:9.32 | since you were told to observe this lesson. The lilies of the field | neither sow nor reap and yet they are provided for. The birds of the |
| C:10.3 | learn. What God would have me teach, you cannot fail to learn, but | neither can you learn of it in parts. The thought system of truth is |
| C:10.8 | that will make you say, “It will not be easy,” but I tell you | neither will it be hard if you but remember this: your willingness is |
| C:10.30 | feelings too that are not bound to the body. Like the thoughts you | neither see nor hear with your body’s eyes or ears, these feelings |
| C:11.4 | ridiculous as feeling as if you have failed to learn what love is. | Neither can happen. And your perception that either can will shut out |
| C:12.24 | unlike the Father who created everything by extension of Himself. | Neither the Father’s extension, nor the Son’s, lessened Father or Son |
| C:14.24 | each. Yes, they go together, and this you know; but the purpose of | neither is what you have ascribed it to be. The purpose you give each |
| C:15.1 | state of everyone, for without specialness to feed, there would be | neither want nor hunger. Without a desire for specialness there would |
| C:15.12 | Father. In this choice lies one united will for glory that knows | neither specialness nor separation. In this choice lies life eternal. |
| C:16.10 | judgments and poor judgments, and you deem love as being capable of | neither. Love seems to operate on its own apart from what your mind |
| C:16.26 | cannot claim at least a small amount of love for your own Self, then | neither can you claim your power, for they go hand-in-hand. There is |
| C:21.7 | heart, and one path representing wholeheartedness. The path of | neither mind nor heart alone will take you where the path of unity |
| C:23.27 | own teacher and/or to choose your teachers and learning situations. | Neither can occur if you would truly choose to change your beliefs |
| C:26.9 | Scenes of your life play through your mind that “prove” that you are | neither inherently happy, nor your life inherently meaningful. Your |
| C:29.11 | mass-manufacturing the satisfaction of the hand-made. While this is | neither good nor bad, this attitude of life as toil is part of your |
| C:31.15 | the other that you are your future, your glory, your potential. You | neither want to share your most negative nor your most positive |
| T1:5.6 | You feel as if you are headed toward “something” from somewhere but | neither here nor there feel completely real to you. The lucky among |
| T1:6.1 | truth is always present as the truth is always present and can be | neither learned nor unlearned. It will thus be revealed to you as |
| T1:8.5 | Word or the almighty when I became flesh and bone through birth. But | neither my birth nor my death were consequent with the Word as the |
| T2:1.6 | This place is not life but | neither is it death, for even death is not an eternal resting place |
| T2:4.14 | acceptance of creation is the acceptance of change and growth but | neither of these are concepts that you understand truly. Change is |
| T3:2.5 | keep yourself from attempts to advance in this direction. And yet, | neither could you keep from punishing yourself for this advancement. |
| T3:3.3 | living a life full of good intentions and effort and being surprised | neither by what seems to work nor what seems to fail. |
| T3:14.12 | truth, allows not correction to take place. The past is no more and | neither the present nor the future can be built upon it. This is why |
| T3:19.7 | more desire for physical joining as an expression of that union. | Neither option is reason for judgment. |
| T3:20.17 | in every circumstance, and you bring love to every circumstance. Be | neither dismayed nor discouraged by those who do not see and have no |
| T4:1.6 | Many of this generation believe they are a chosen generation. | Neither way of thinking is wrong. All are chosen. |
| T4:10.12 | time of the fulfillment of the lesson of the birds of the air who | neither sow nor reap but sing a song of gladness. Expression of the |
| D:4.4 | you what becomes of all of those who see not what it means to be | neither different nor the same but to be one. |
| D:4.31 | —one reason, the same reason—and you will see that what is one is | neither the same nor different. You will see that there is one |
| D:8.5 | is to accept that you have access to a “given” Self, to something | neither earned nor worked hard to attain. To imagine this as an idea |
| D:Day3.12 | of a world in which the beliefs set forth within this Course are | neither seen nor lived by. |
| D:Day4.6 | of you, much like breathing. You have no choice about breathing, yet | neither do you, under normal circumstances, have to think about |
| D:Day12.4 | The space of the One Self is everything. Space is | neither divided nor separated nor occupied by form. Space is all that |
| D:Day17.2 | You have been told Christ-consciousness is | neither God nor man but the relationship that allows the awareness |
| D:Day18.9 | the cause of life would not have been a cause of truth. Just as | neither brain nor heart alone provide for a functioning body, mind |
| D:Day18.10 | with the world, or through incarnation through relationship. | Neither is exclusive. Both are contained within the other. But the |
| D:Day19.3 | of their specific gifts, their contentment would not be complete. | Neither would it be complete without that expression. |
| D:Day19.8 | in this belief as are those who thought of Jesus in such a way. | Neither demonstrated intermediary functions but demonstrated direct |
| D:Day19.11 | that way of being. Many of the way of Mary will find acclaim, yet | neither acclaim nor obscurity will matter to those following these |
| D:Day21.7 | is no longer an “eventually.” Teacher and learner are equal and thus | neither are needed any longer. The “transfer” of knowledge is now an |

| C:8.6 | too much to bear can cause what you call emotional turmoil or even a | nervous breakdown. In these situations either too many feelings are |
neutral (8) |

| C:10.1 | with its feelings, how can this be so? The body by itself is | neutral. But as long as you attribute the body with bringing you |
| C:18.22 | experience both pleasure and pain, yet as a learning device, it is | neutral. It does not experience, but only conveys that which can be |
| T3:12.6 | not temptations of the body. They may seem to be, but the body is | neutral. All temptations originate in the mind and are transferred to |
| T3:18.9 | thought system of the truth. Your body, as has been often said, is a | neutral form that will serve you in the manner in which you choose to |
| D:Day15.9 | In practicing observation without judgment, you learned to be | neutral observers. Being neutral observers allowed cause and effect |
| D:Day15.9 | without judgment, you learned to be neutral observers. Being | neutral observers allowed cause and effect to occur naturally rather |
| D:Day15.10 | practiced by many at one time. It is a major shift because it is not | neutral but creative. It is of creation and can only flow through |

| C:2.22 | We will begin by working on a state of | neutrality in which the war is no longer fought, the daily battles |
| C:2.22 | of surrender has been waved and dropped upon a hallowed ground where | neutrality will for a short time reign before peace breaks out with |
| C:2.23 | agony, defeat, and vainglory is all that now is sought. A state of | neutrality is where the return begins. Armies may not yet be marching |
| D:Day15.11 | to inform and be informed with others who have reached this level of | neutrality along with you. This is why observation is not being |
| D:Day15.11 | is not being replaced. Observation is needed until this level of | neutrality is reached by a much greater number. This greater level of |
| D:Day15.11 | is reached by a much greater number. This greater level of | neutrality will not be reached until those who are the forerunners |
| D:Day15.13 | are like flecks of sands within the ocean. Observe these stones with | neutrality and see if they do not wash away. Your willingness to have |
| D:Day15.16 | the beliefs of others but one of finally conquering judgment with | neutrality or acceptance. Allowing others to accept you as you are is |
| D:Day15.28 | to view your own Self as well as that which you observe with a | neutrality that embraces the unknown as well as the known, to reclaim |

| C:P.3 | of learning, is something everyone must do. Can the ego learn this? | Never. Does spirit need to? No. Who, then, is this Course for? |
| C:P.14 | make sense of the nightmare rather than to awaken from it. This will | never work. |
| C:P.28 | pain, and horror does so from a place that does not accept and will | never accept that these things are what are meant for you or for |
| C:1.13 | you to stand on your own, complete within yourself. This goal will | never be reached, and only when you give up trying to reach it can |
| C:1.13 | God, where you endlessly abide. Striving to be that which you can | never be is the hell you have created. |
| C:2.6 | is sought. It is said that one can love too much and too little but | never enough. Love is not something you do. It is what you are. To |

| C:2.11 | so seek other illusions to change what never was into something that | never will be. |

| C:2.15 | you and you rest within God. I vowed to never leave you and to | never leave you comfortless. The Holy Spirit has brought what comfort |

| C:4.15 | who would shower him or her with praise and gifts, with attention | never wavering. Another who prizes independence seeks a partner in |
| C:5.9 | your place—but in eternity, not here. What you leave behind is | never real. |
| C:6.3 | and directly as is possible. You are neither separate nor alone and | never were and never can be. All your illusions were created in order |
| C:6.3 | is possible. You are neither separate nor alone and never were and | never can be. All your illusions were created in order to obscure |
| C:6.13 | upon for just this time, this time when giving up is close, for | never do you feel more in need of help than when all your plans have |
| C:6.21 | You do not understand the difference between wishing for what can | never be and accepting what is. |
| C:7.6 | This is the piece that screams | never to that which would beat you down. Life is seen as a constant |
| C:7.6 | Life is seen as a constant taking away and this, you claim, will | never be taken from you. For those whose lives are threatened, it is |
| C:7.6 | label it ethics, morals, values, and say this is the line I will | never cross. It is the cry that says, “I will not sell my soul.” |
| C:7.7 | This is your Self. Yet this Self that you hold so dear that you will | never let it go is precisely what you must be willing to freely give |
| C:7.9 | has so long been locked away. After this a gentle breeze will come, | never again to leave you, as life breathes as one. |
| C:8.20 | this is cause for rejoicing. At other times a cause for sorrow. But | never can it be evaded that each day is a beginning and an ending |
| C:9.4 | existence and to make things happen. This use of relationship will | never provide the proof or the action you seek, because relationship |
| C:9.30 | what it is for would make of it what he or she would have it be, but | never would the user seek to exchange roles with it. When an accident |
| C:9.33 | God’s will for you is happiness, and | never has it been otherwise. God’s creation is for eternity and has |
| C:9.47 | for your childhood. Your innocence will stand out clearly here, and | never again will you doubt that the world that God created belongs to |
| C:10.2 | each one whole, and in this wholeness one with all. This union has | never really ceased to be, but as long as you do not realize that it |
| C:10.7 | that says, “Stand up straight,” or “You’re special,” or “You will | never amount to anything.” Many of you may have used therapy to still |
| C:10.22 | does not occur to it, for the absence of fear is something it has | never known. |
| C:10.25 | are not seen nor heard and yet they are with you constantly, and | never more so than as you conduct your experiment in detachment from |
| C:11.12 | choosing to make yourself separate from Him—something that could | never truly occur—you have chosen instead to do nothing at all with |
| C:11.14 | God will | never wrestle your free will from you, or fight battles to win it for |
| C:11.17 | love. Love is all that will fill your emptiness, and all that will | never leave you empty again as it extends from you to your brothers |
| C:12.17 | ideas one day and ten thousand the next, so many that you could | never keep track of them all, and yet they still exist within you and |
| C:12.18 | take on a life of its own and compel you to do things you might have | never dreamed of doing. People often look back upon their lives and |
| C:13.1 | You will | never fully understand what unity means, but you will come to feel |
| C:14.2 | rest, this is the goal you ask creation to bow down to, a goal that | never can be achieved any more than can your separation from what you |
| C:14.13 | before or since. No other relationship affected you in such a way. | Never were you more sure of a relationship’s value to you. Anything |
| C:14.19 | entrapment solely in their mind as they plot and plan for what they | never have the opportunity to put into place. Still others are more |
| C:15.3 | desire it no longer. You can have specialness or your true Self, but | never both. The desire for specialness is what calls your little self |
| C:16.13 | you are not safe. There is only one of you and so many of “them.” | Never can you keep your guard up quite enough or secure a final |
| C:16.15 | before you can act upon it, you live as if you believe that what has | never worked before will somehow miraculously work in the future. You |
| C:17.2 | Self is held for you by another part of your consciousness that has | never left it. It is the reunion of these two selves that will bring |
| C:17.12 | the state in which you existed before the original error, then you | never shall. |
| C:18.19 | is a paradox, it is not impossible for the simple reason that you | never left the state of unity that you do not recognize. Your lack of |
| C:19.4 | to the Christ in you and the one mind united with God which you have | never left. Creation’s power then returns to you to help all the |
| C:19.20 | attempts to go back have been like attempts to pay a debt that will | never go away. This going back will leave you debt free and thus free |
| C:20.19 | Have you | never felt as if you would wrap your arms around the world and bring |
| C:20.19 | can do. Not with physical arms, but with the arms of love. Have you | never cried for the state of the world as you would for one small |
| C:22.22 | be replaced quickly with an intimacy with your surroundings that you | never felt before. |
| C:23.19 | Beyond imagination is the spark that allows you to conceive of what | never was conceived of before. This spark is inspiration, the |
| C:26.24 | in the pattern that is oneness with God. It is a place you have | never left but that you long for, believing that you know it not. |
| C:30.11 | is speaking of now, in essence, is gain without loss. You will | never be aware of gain without loss while you believe in what is |
| C:30.11 | what is finite in nature. The cycle of giving and receiving is thus | never complete, and the certainty you seek always waiting for |
| C:31.11 | ego. Without dislodging your belief in your ego as yourself you will | never realize your true identity. |
| C:31.24 | What you gain in truth is | never lost or forgotten again, because it returns remembrance to your |
| C:31.25 | Your ego thoughts can | never share the truth with you nor with anyone else. The ego invented |
| T1:7.1 | world because the world is seen as a world in which who you are can | never be accomplished. You have perceived this inability to be who |
| T1:7.2 | there is light. One or the other must exist at a given time, but | never both. Thus the absence of good health is disease; the absence |
| T2:1.6 | life stops and death reigns. It is not a point at which you arrive, | never to depart. Rest, when truly learned, is a state of being in |
| T2:1.11 | thoughts you have had before. Your thoughts of a grand piano will | never create a grand piano. What kind of thoughts, then, would create |
| T2:1.13 | such as that of music lessons or the purchase of a piano, you will | never reach the goals associated with those tangible steps. Thoughts |
| T2:8.6 | expression of who you are may lead you to many new adventures but | never again to the special relationships that would take you away |
| T2:8.6 | special relationships that would take you away from your true Self. | Never again will you be away from home for home is who you are, a |
| T2:9.14 | thinking has momentarily returned. This does not mean that you will | never be at rest or that you will be constantly seeking to arrive. As |
| T2:11.12 | The ego is but your belief that this has occurred; that what could | never be true has become the truth. |
| T2:11.15 | see yourself as doing battle in countless ways and forms. There will | never actually be a battle going on between Christ and the ego, but |
| T2:12.11 | The ego would hang on to what is already accomplished within you, | never to let it express, through relationship, all that it is. As |
| T3:1.11 | self you presented to others in the past was a chosen self and | never a whole self as evidenced by the variety of selves you saw |
| T3:3.1 | that the personal self that is dear to you is not your ego-self and | never has been. |
| T3:3.5 | and while you have in turn blamed it as much as it blamed you, you | never blamed anything quite as much as you blamed yourself. |
| T3:5.1 | caused by the complete absence of the ego, just as few of you have | never felt some sort of absence. All the lessons you have drawn to |
| T3:8.2 | is within you, then it is your own revelation toward which we work. | Never forget that establishing your identity has been the only aim of |
| T3:11.10 | reality does not exist. Believing in the reality of illusion will | never make it the truth. |
| T3:11.15 | can be useful in a new way to your brothers and sisters as well. | Never forget that what was made for your use can be used in a new way |
| T3:13.2 | that pain will not end. Once fear has entered, doubt and guilt are | never far behind. |
| T3:20.6 | or offer comments about the unfairness of the situation. Judgment is | never far from these observations. Suffering, you would think, could |
| T3:20.10 | or positive thinking. I am calling you to live by the truth and to | never deny it. To see no circumstance as cause to abandon it. Yes, I |
| T3:20.10 | know how to live by the truth, but the means are not the end and are | never to be confused as such. Your observance is to remain with cause |
| T3:20.18 | choosing, and not from anyone. Thus you are released from a burden | never meant to rest upon you even if it is one you might have freely |
| T3:21.10 | This is your conundrum. When you have | never known what is you have never been able to be certain. You have |
| T3:21.10 | This is your conundrum. When you have never known what is you have | never been able to be certain. You have no experience with certainty |
| T3:22.11 | differences but lie in expression and representation of the truth, | never in the truth itself. |
| T4:1.16 | the truth of the past still lives and that the illusion of the past | never was. |
| T4:2.1 | as well as internally. It is happening. It is not predictive. I have | never been and will never be predictive, for I am |
| T4:2.1 | It is happening. It is not predictive. I have never been and will | never be predictive, for I am Christ-consciousness. |
| T4:2.4 | self with the spirit of the divine or remembered Self. Although God | never abandoned the humans who seeded the Earth, the humans, in the |
| T4:4.10 | so a word that speaks of an opposite to what you are not and have | never been is not the accurate word. I do not speak of bodies living |
| T4:8.7 | The expression of your true nature should | never have been difficult, joyless, or fearful; but you cannot |
| T4:8.9 | into the time of fullness of a being able to express itself in form, | never realizing that this just delayed the learning that had to occur |
| T4:8.10 | to learn slowly and mature gracefully? Do you withdraw your love? | Never. Do you disinherit? Rarely. What you do is realize the |
| T4:8.15 | Does one know love in one burst of knowing and | never know more of love? Does one grasp beauty and thereafter remain |
| T4:8.15 | constantly of what is, is to continuously come to know and yet to | never not know. |
| T4:12.22 | that we are here calling Christ-consciousness. There has | never been a sustained Christ-consciousness in form. The |
| D:3.5 | to do what those who live their lives with a split mind could | never do. You have it within your ability to mend the rift of |
| D:5.11 | is, in its representation. Simply put, this means that form will | never be all that you are, but will return to being as it was |
| D:6.26 | time and outside of time. Remember, the elevated Self of form will | never be all that you are. This does not imply however, that there |
| D:6.27 | The self of form, as form, could | never truly experience the All of Everything that is the natural |
| D:7.28 | and have more than one locale that feels like home; or you may | never travel far from the building in which you dwell. What I ask you |
| D:8.6 | have, and will, cause you to laugh and be joyous. There was | never any need, and will never be any need, to figure them out—for |
| D:8.6 | cause you to laugh and be joyous. There was never any need, and will | never be any need, to figure them out—for surprises cannot be |
| D:11.10 | draw with no danger of ever drawing an empty bucket. You need | never thirst again when you have accepted this. You need never seek |
| D:11.10 | You need never thirst again when you have accepted this. You need | never seek again for answers when this has been accepted. Because you |
| D:11.12 | The giving and receiving of these words will | never make sense within the terms of the world you have always known. |
| D:12.16 | to know will occur. But once you have felt this certainty, you will | never be so sure again that you cannot know the truth. Adding the |
| D:13.9 | bear the mark of your perspective, and that is why partial truth is | never the whole truth, and why the whole truth is the only truth. |
| D:15.14 | sailor knows the wind is fickle. But any sailor also knows the wind | never dies. |
| D:15.15 | to build better sails to catch the wind, or motors to replace it, | never realizing its constant and continual presence only needs to be |
| D:15.15 | to be allowed to pass through you to be in relationship with you, | never realizing that this is, in truth, what animates you, that this |
| D:15.24 | goal itself—the sustenance—for what you will have gained will | never leave you but will sustain you forevermore. |
| D:17.1 | after that occurs in time and space rather than in truth. It is | never about one. It is not about replacement. It comes in a never |

| C:2.2 | physical form you will not recognize God. Everything real is of God. | Nothing unreal exists. Each person passing from this life to the next |

| C:16.24 | bow down to those whom you have given it to, for you are afraid of | nothing more than your own power. |
| C:17.14 | of the whole along with you. All that has proceeded from fear is | nothing, and has no existence apart from your own thoughts. |

| C:20.9 | and you say, I am. I am, and there is nothing outside of me. | Nothing outside of the embrace. |
| C:20.13 | The time of parables has ended. A new time of no time awaits. | Nothing is like unto anything else. Likeness, like thingness, has |
| C:20.20 | apart from you? Oneness with Christ, dear brother and sister, is | nothing more than this concept realized. And also nothing less. |
| C:20.20 | and sister, is nothing more than this concept realized. And also | nothing less. |
| C:20.39 | All that is received is for the mutual benefit of all and takes | nothing away from anyone. There is no limit to love and so there are |
| C:20.48 | the view from love’s angle. It is the view of the dying who realize | nothing matters but love. This realization is not one of sentiment, |
| C:21.8 | understand that you give meaning to all things, and that there is | nothing and no one external to you who can determine meaning for you. |
| C:23.27 | over learning situations is a reflection of belief that you have | nothing to learn. An attitude of openness is required for unlearning |
| C:25.3 | you feel indifference, knowledge of things about which you know | nothing. But those who have tried to fake love cannot do it. The same |
| C:25.7 | When you feel lack of love, you feel as if the “other” gives you | nothing. Yet it is your lack of ability to receive that causes this |
| C:25.24 | you might as well try the new way. Remind yourself that you have | nothing to lose. You will soon learn that this is so. You will also |
| C:26.3 | and glory, results in many tragedy-less lives. “Nothing ventured, | nothing gained,” is an axiom for such lives. Fear of the “fall” is a |
| C:28.12 | what you have gained. You may be asking now, “Are you saying to do | nothing?” At the thought of this you will be aghast and, what is |
| C:30.4 | Being in relationship is being present. Being present has | nothing to do with time as you think of it. You think of this |
| C:30.4 | keeping time as well, but as the word keeping illustrates, there is | nothing about time that can be kept. The only thing real about time |
| C:31.13 | you are devoted to the thoughts of a split mind you are devoted to | nothing. This is why so many attempts at understanding fail. Trying |
| C:31.20 | are, and in that remembrance transforms the rest, leaving you with | nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to keep hidden, leaving you with |
| C:31.20 | transforms the rest, leaving you with nothing to be ashamed of, | nothing to keep hidden, leaving you with nothing but the truth of who |
| C:31.20 | nothing to be ashamed of, nothing to keep hidden, leaving you with | nothing but the truth of who you are. Thus, what you give through |
| C:31.26 | Your past has | nothing to do with the truth about who you are, except in the degree |
| C:31.28 | Since there is only one truth, finding a variety of answers means | nothing. If you but change what you look for, what you see and what |
| C:31.29 | what you think your brothers and sisters want to see, they can learn | nothing from you. If your truth about who you think you are changes |
| T1:1.5 | in truth is love. All that illusion provided you with was | nothing. Thus your first task as you remember and re-experience is |
| T1:3.3 | The ego-mind sees | nothing for what it is. The ego-mind sees not anything but what it |
| T1:3.23 | surely the working of one miracle would be a fluke anyway. Proof of | nothing and easily discounted and explained away. Surely to believe |
| T1:4.20 | come to you from an interpretation that is uniquely your own is as | nothing compared to the joy that will come to you from a response |
| T1:4.26 | thought, for doubt about your Self is doubt about God. While God is | nothing but the Source of Love, you have, in your doubt, made of God |
| T1:4.27 | or being. I bring up this point to assure you that this confusion is | nothing new, but a confusion so deeply ingrained in you that it has |
| T1:5.5 | of Life, fear of Creation, fear of Self. For there is only all and | nothing. |
| T1:5.6 | of this and as fearful of the all of everything as of the void of | nothing. You feel as if you are headed toward “something” from |
| T1:5.7 | as the illusion of an in-between you have created between all and | nothing. This in-between place is your comfort zone and, although you |
| T1:5.7 | from the recognition of the all you are capable of finding and the | nothing in which you reside. |
| T1:5.8 | to experience the truth, you must move into a state that is real. | Nothing is as real as everything, and is what some of you will or |
| T1:5.9 | turn within, toward the heart where the real Self abides. There is | nothing else that will free who you are but freedom from the ego’s |
| T1:9.6 | universal truth. You remembered that something does not come from | nothing and that nothing is all that exists without relationship. |
| T1:9.6 | You remembered that something does not come from nothing and that | nothing is all that exists without relationship. |
| T1:10.7 | from you. But as you have been told before, you will be giving up | nothing. It will seem as if it is so for a while perhaps. You will |
| T2:6.5 | as all of your work being done. If there is no work to be done, | nothing for you to do, for what do you need time? Have you ever |
| T2:7.13 | as one if you feel able only to give or as if “others” have | nothing you would receive. |
| T2:8.3 | others. This is giving and receiving as one. What you gain will take | nothing from anyone. What another is able to give you will take |
| T2:8.3 | take nothing from anyone. What another is able to give you will take | nothing from them, and what you are able to give another will take |
| T2:8.3 | nothing from them, and what you are able to give another will take | nothing from you. |
| T2:9.8 | have as the already accomplished. All that you would give will take | nothing away from you. |
| T2:11.6 | All cannot be threatened by | nothing. |
| T3:1.11 | each one as learned as that which an actor might portray. You saw | nothing more amiss in being a professional self in one instance and a |
| T3:3.2 | All of your personal characteristics are | nothing more than a persona that has served the ego faithfully. All |
| T3:4.2 | that you give up anything but illusion, which is the giving up of | nothing. |
| T3:10.1 | talked much of remembering. Now we must talk about forgetting. While | nothing need be given up to enter the House of Truth, or to encounter |
| T3:13.8 | “I am safe and | nothing that I do or do not do will threaten my safety.” |
| T3:14.1 | new thought system will still exist within your mind and heart, as | nothing can now take this memory from you, but to experience the new |
| T3:14.5 | changes will not cause them to be other than who they are. There is | nothing wrong with who you are! |
| T3:14.6 | The changes that come to you will be chosen changes. You will lose | nothing you would keep. |
| T3:14.9 | how little consequence they had in truth. These fearful choices took | nothing from you or from others. |
| T3:15.5 | surely prove to you that the new beginning is but an act and that | nothing has really changed. A student who failed to learn the prior |
| T3:16.1 | are, in truth, unacceptable to God. You are asked to give up | nothing but unwillingness. |
| T3:16.16 | caused them to only seem to be intertwined and all encompassing. | Nothing but the truth is all encompassing. Illusion is made of parts |
| T3:19.8 | behavior that is not of love, is of fear. All that comes of fear is | nothing. What this means is that cause and effect are not influenced |
| T3:20.15 | My dear brothers and sisters in Christ, let | nothing call you to return to the ways of old. They do not work! To |
| T3:20.19 | you will encounter. You will encounter truth or illusion and | nothing else for there is nothing else. There is but one call for all |
| T3:20.19 | You will encounter truth or illusion and nothing else for there is | nothing else. There is but one call for all circumstances, the call |
| T3:21.9 | to another. Illusion is symbolic. And what’s more it symbolizes | nothing for it does not symbolize what is! |
| T3:21.18 | identity, but as representing your identity, an identity that has | nothing to do with the thoughts of a separated mind or the |
| T4:1.26 | Those born into the time of Christ will settle for | nothing less than the truth and will soon begin looking earnestly for |
| T4:2.26 | in which observation of what is can occur. The separated state was | nothing more than the disjoining of heart and mind, a state in which |
| T4:5.13 | Some have thought of this as heaven and hell. Others as all or | nothing. Many of you have thought of it as a time of judgment. But I |
| T4:8.16 | You think of a state of knowing as a state of there being | nothing you do not know about something. This is why you study |
| T4:9.5 | truth say the same thing but in different ways. There seems to be | nothing new to be said, nothing to move you beyond this point that |
| T4:9.5 | but in different ways. There seems to be nothing new to be said, | nothing to move you beyond this point that you have reached in your |
| T4:9.9 | the new. Be not afraid, for the glory that has been yours will be as | nothing to the glory that awaits you in the creation of the new. You |
| D:3.22 | brothers and sisters as much as they are of God. I am teaching you | nothing, nothing old and nothing new. I am reminding you of what you |
| D:3.22 | and sisters as much as they are of God. I am teaching you nothing, | nothing old and nothing new. I am reminding you of what you know as I |

| D:5.16 | This is the answer to the question of “What is next?” If there is | nothing to learn, if coursework is behind you and accomplishment is |
| D:6.6 | same Source. Even those things you have made you have not made from | nothing. There is not one thing that you have made that does not |
| D:7.8 | me repeat that all that lives is from the same Source, and there is | nothing more alive than mind and heart combined in the spirit of |
| D:7.11 | start with the body, returning love to it now. It is what it is, and | nothing that it is, is deserving of anything other than love. This |
| D:10.4 | way will leave you with no individual, personal accomplishment, | nothing to be proud of, nothing to call your own. You thus must begin |
| D:10.4 | with no individual, personal accomplishment, nothing to be proud of, | nothing to call your own. You thus must begin to realize that the |
| D:12.13 | in wholeheartedness at the center of yourself, a place that has | nothing to do with the body. That you listen, hear, and respond may |
| D:15.2 | is that of movement. Rigor mortis, or the stiffness of death, is | nothing but a lack of movement, a lack of movement of the blood |
| D:15.7 | story without movement. There is no story to tell without movement. | Nothing is happening. So movement might be likened to something |
| D:17.7 | alone in your glory or achievement and you marvel that this takes | nothing from your feeling of accomplishment. You want to share it |
| D:17.19 | To revere is to feel awe, which, it has been stated, is due | nothing and no one but God. To move beyond desire to reverence is to |
| D:Day1.1 | Self. Acceptance of me is acceptance of your inheritance. This is | nothing new to those of you of the Christian faith. To others it will |
| D:Day3.11 | or abundance: the way you have learned. The mind would tell you that | nothing is “given,” and that all must be either learned or earned, |
| D:Day3.13 | of “if this, then that.” The idea of abundance earned. The idea of | nothing being truly free. Not you, and not your gifts. Everything |
| D:Day3.25 | Remember, you have learned that | nothing is “given,” for what use would you have of learning if such |
| D:Day3.59 | all that was taught within this Course, this is a matter of all or | nothing. You cannot accept part of one reality and part of another. |
| D:Day4.30 | is natural. Your thinking, since it is a product of learning, does | nothing but attempt to learn or teach. These are the natural |
| D:Day4.53 | If you move forward only with love, you will have realized there is | nothing unacceptable about who you are except fear. |
| D:Day4.54 | you back. This is what the time of acceptance was meant to show you! | Nothing can hold you back except fear! You do not have to be perfect |
| D:Day6.14 | if only you could be truly “taken away” from it all and experience | nothing but our relationship, focus on nothing but your point of |
| D:Day6.14 | from it all and experience nothing but our relationship, focus on | nothing but your point of access, have a chance to really begin to |
| D:Day6.26 | You know our task is holy and incomparable. You know there is | nothing more important for you to be involved in. All other areas |
| D:Day7.2 | ills that came from the base emotion of fear. Fear is degenerating. | Nothing about fear is life giving. You thus were given life only to |
| D:Day7.3 | with love. Love is life giving and life supporting. There is thus | nothing now degenerating about life. |
| D:Day9.6 | Freedom is | nothing other than freedom of expression. No one can block the |
| D:Day9.27 | Nothing, not even the ego, has been able to keep you from expressing | |
| D:Day11.3 | The elevation of the self of form is | nothing but the recognition of the One Self within the Self. |
| D:Day11.6 | Separation, of itself, is | nothing. What is separate and joined in relationship is All because |
| D:Day11.7 | God would not know God. It is that which differentiates all from | nothing. Because it is that which differentiates, it is that which |
| D:Day12.3 | love of the One Self. The One Self loves Its Self. There is | nothing else to love. The One Self is the All. |
| D:Day15.23 | To practice, as to inform, does not mean, however, that you know | nothing. Practice is the merging of the known and the unknown through |
| D:Day15.23 | the continuing realization that what you knew yesterday was as | nothing to what you know today, while at the same time, aiding in the |
| D:Day16.9 | you not feared and expelled them, you would have seen that they were | nothing to fear. |
| D:Day16.14 | either love or fear. This is because love is everything and fear is | nothing. |
| D:Day17.8 | beings. The universe, as well as human beings, are comprised of | nothing that is superfluous, but only of the necessary in the sense |
| D:Day21.3 | Nothing was capable of being taught or learned without the reception | |
| D:Day21.6 | divine life force that exists in everything and everyone. There is | nothing channeled to one that isn’t channeled to all. The old notions |
| D:Day22.7 | the unknown knowable. You realize that you have known a place where | nothing but love exists, where there is no suffering, no death, no |
| D:Day24.2 | of every smallest particle of existence. Wholeness exists in you. | Nothing can take wholeness from you. It is as natural to you as it is |
| D:Day25.2 | you, there is a part of you that will fight back. If there is | nothing new to record, nothing new to learn, no new divine |
| D:Day25.2 | part of you that will fight back. If there is nothing new to record, | nothing new to learn, no new divine inspiration, a part of your mind |
| D:Day25.2 | when you can. Allow the mind to fight back when you cannot. Resist | nothing. |
| D:Day25.7 | mind or the question of “What am I looking for?” You are looking for | nothing. You are tending your garden. |
| D:Day32.7 | Another concept of God is that of Creator. This concept might have | nothing to do with the notion of God wanting to know Himself. This |
| D:Day34.2 | simply does include destruction in much the same way all includes | nothing. Without relationship, all and nothing are the same. In |
| D:Day34.2 | the same way all includes nothing. Without relationship, all and | nothing are the same. In relationship, the difference between all and |
| D:Day34.2 | are the same. In relationship, the difference between all and | nothing is everything. So too is it with creation and destruction. |
| D:Day35.20 | been, but to create as who you truly are being. You are called to | nothing short of creating a new heaven and a new earth. This does |
| D:Day36.3 | between your earliest memory and the present moment and it would say | nothing about you if it related the experiences only as physical |
| D:Day36.10 | the difference in the world. It is the difference between all and | nothing in relationship to one another. Recall the example used |
| D:Day36.10 | the example used earlier. There is no difference between all and | nothing without relationship. In relationship, the difference is |
| D:Day36.10 | unity and relationship, it was as if God was everything and you were | nothing, or as if you were everything and God was nothing. But just |
| D:Day36.10 | and you were nothing, or as if you were everything and God was | nothing. But just as with all and nothing, there was no difference |
| D:Day36.10 | if you were everything and God was nothing. But just as with all and | nothing, there was no difference between your being and God’s being |
| D:Day37.3 | Thus the world does not exist without relationship—as | nothing exists without relationship. But relationship, like being and |
| D:Day39.38 | and eternity. Love and hate. Good and evil. In other words, All and | Nothing. It is the tension of individuation, a tension that has |
| D:Day39.45 | learning, only revelation. Do not expect all, without also expecting | nothing. Expect to know that you hold both within yourself and that |
| D:Day39.46 | of these. You will know the All of Everything and the emptiness of | nothing and our relationship will bridge the distance and become |
| D:Day40.9 | This tension, or process, is not bad. There is | nothing wrong with this individuation process or the creative tension |
| D:Day40.13 | God would not know God. It is that which differentiates All from | nothing. Because it is that which differentiates, it is that which |
| D:Day40.14 | that I am being God and also love, being. This is why I am all and | nothing, the attribute-laden God and the attributeless love. This is |
| E.1 | Ah, imagine now what it will be like to have | nothing left to learn, nothing left to become. The pressure is off. |
| E.1 | Ah, imagine now what it will be like to have nothing left to learn, | nothing left to become. The pressure is off. The alchemy has |
| E.3 | You are in relationship now only with love, and so | nothing will be hard for you. Desire an old pattern to be gone and it |
| E.10 | You can do everything you did before, or | nothing you did before, all with the total confidence of being. You |
| E.12 | You will also not realize that you have chosen | nothing until and unless you realize that everything has not changed. |
| E.14 | be paramount to your realization that everything has changed or that | nothing has changed. |

| D:Day32.3 | revisit the concepts of oneness and manyness for if you retain any | notions of God that are inaccurate, they will arise here. |
| D:Day32.7 | be quite amorphous and not tremendously different than scientific | notions of the source of life. Whether it be called God or the Big |
| E.20 | other than you have been. Leave all thinking behind. Leave all | notions of being better, smarter, kinder, more loving behind. Realize |
| E.20 | kinder, more loving behind. Realize that these were all thoughts and | notions of becoming. If you hang on to them, your being will not have |
nots (1) |

| D:Day3.9 | and who “has not,” and the world seems made up of haves and have | nots and to function in the insane way that it does largely due to |
nourishment (1) |

| C:9.22 | that this value is temporary. My words call you to the eternal, to | nourishment and rest of the spirit rather than the body. That your |
novel (2) |

| C:26.22 | Think a moment of a | novel or movie with no plot. This would be the same as saying that |

| C:P.1 | in miracles. It is a required course. The time for you to take it is | now. You are ready and miracles are needed. |
| C:P.18 | as God created you. It is the difference between wanting to know God | now, and wanting to wait to know God until you have decided you are |
| C:P.43 | Self from you but only can obscure it. Thus the teachings you need | now are to help you separate the ego from your Self, to help you |
| C:1.6 | carried with you to the new world. So you might as well let them go | now. |
| C:1.7 | luggage with you everywhere just in case you might need something. | Now you are beginning to trust that you will not need these things |
| C:1.7 | in hand. But as you glimpse what was once a distant shore and | now is near, you realize none of what you formerly possessed and |
| C:2.9 | love, and, with that recognition, of ending the insanity you | now perceive. |
| C:2.15 | has brought what comfort you would accept to your troubled mind. | Now turn to me to comfort your troubled heart. |
| C:2.23 | home, away from cries of agony, defeat, and vainglory is all that | now is sought. A state of neutrality is where the return begins. |
| C:3.5 | All that you | now see are but symbols of what is really there before you, in glory |
| C:3.9 | You who are looking for help wonder | now how this would help you. What is there left to say that has not |
| C:3.9 | are, not the symbols that they represent. An idea of love is planted | now, in a garden rich with what will make it grow. |
| C:3.14 | for this is where this learning enters and will stay. Your heart is | now your eyes and ears. Your mind can remain within your concept of |
| C:3.14 | mind can remain within your concept of the brain, for we bypass it | now and send it no information to process, no data for it to compute. |
| C:3.18 | take heart. Such foolishness as your heart’s desires will save you | now. Remember it is your heart that yearns for home. Your heart that |
| C:3.22 | Your thoughts might lead you to a dozen answers | now, more for some and less for others, your answers depending on the |
| C:3.23 | not that love can be kept apart from life in any way. But we begin | now to take life’s judgment from it, the judgments gained by your |
| C:4.12 | For that kind and gentle stance you do not believe will serve you | now, that blindness and self-sacrifice is something to be gained at |
| C:4.20 | A thing set apart from the madness of the world is useful | now. It may not be what love is, but what love is has guided you in |
| C:5.3 | learn, because it is only in union with me that you are your Self. | Now we must expand your understanding of union and of relationship as |
| C:5.7 | We are beginning | now to paint you a new picture, a picture of things unseen before but |
| C:5.8 | “Ah,” you think when you find love, “now my heart is singing; | now I know what love is all about.” And you attach the love you have |
| C:5.23 | Rather than feeling as if you have gained, feelings of loss will | now be what you fight to overcome. What have you done wrong, you |
| C:5.25 | for what has once failed to work will surely fail again. Stop | now and give up what you think you want. |
| C:5.26 | Stop | now and realize your reaction to these words, the strength of your |
| C:5.32 | Remember | now one lovely day, for each of you has had at least one that was a |
| C:6.4 | accept that they were the same as me. They were then, and you are | now, no different than I. We are all the same because we are not |
| C:6.9 | the truth will bring. What could be more insane than that which you | now call sanity? What loss can there be in joining with what is so |
| C:6.10 | too sterile. To have every day the same would be uninteresting | now. Perhaps later. Maybe when you are old and have grown weary of |
| C:6.17 | for anyone to achieve what they would achieve. The challenge | now is in creation rather than accomplishment. With peace, |
| C:6.19 | Think about this | now—for how could heaven be a separate place? A piece of geography |
| C:7.1 | A major thought reversal is required | now before we can go on. It has been stated and emphasized countless |
| C:7.2 | must be total for you to receive in truth. We will concentrate more | now, however, on withholding than on giving for you do not yet |
| C:7.4 | your existence would seem to serve even less purpose than it does | now. Thus that which is most separate, or that which you have |
| C:7.5 | piece is held within your heart, and it is this piece with which we | now will work. |
| C:7.9 | Let us return | now to what you would withhold, and see the effects that this |
| C:7.11 | and there you build them into reasons for even further withholding. | Now you have an excuse—or several excuses—for a bad day. Why |
| C:7.12 | the burden of what you hang onto becomes more than you can bear. | Now you look for one upon whom you can unload your burdens, hoping |
| C:7.15 | for yourself without withholding it from someone else. You have | now set yourself up in a position to withhold your intelligence from |
| C:7.17 | We must return | now to relationship and correct as quickly as possible any erroneous |
| C:7.17 | different from the objects, persons, or situations related to. | Now we must expand on this idea. |
| C:7.20 | nor will it be until your understanding is greater than it is | now. For you cannot give up the only reality you know without |
| C:8.1 | own Self. Emotions, the thoughts of your heart, are what we will | now work with, separating as we do the truth from your perception of |
| C:8.10 | is available in a place other than on the surface is useful to us | now, as is your recognition that something other than what appears on |
| C:8.11 | than from the grace-filled place of union. Perhaps you are thinking | now that if you knew how this union worked you would surely use it to |
| C:8.13 | Do you see | now why unity and wholeness go hand in hand? Why you cannot withhold |
| C:8.14 | We have talked | now of what is on the surface. Let us try an experiment. |
| C:8.15 | Think of your body | now as the surface of your existence and look upon it. Stand back |
| C:8.15 | the truth of who you are, no matter how much it appears to be. For | now, let’s consider it the surface aspect of your existence. |
| C:8.18 | Now that you are standing back from your body, participating in this | |
| C:8.26 | to teach you what you needed to learn to lead you to a success you | now enjoy. |
| C:9.2 | or the other little selves you deem under yours. But remember | now how like to creation in form if not in substance what you have |
| C:9.5 | each thing you see in it. How many items would you keep that you | now look upon? Your body too was created for its usefulness. It sets |
| C:9.5 | in your room is set apart by what it is useful for. Ask yourself | now: To whom is your body useful? This question does not apply to |
| C:9.9 | Now you seek to know how to escape what you have made. To do so you | |
| C:9.9 | This you are not ready yet to do, but this is what your heart will | now prepare you for. As you are prepared, you walk alongside he who |
| C:9.9 | you chose to let lead you to this strange world. You travel lightly | now where before you walked in chains. You travel now with a |
| C:9.9 | You travel lightly now where before you walked in chains. You travel | now with a companion who knows you as you are and would show your |
| C:9.10 | Look upon your body | now as you earlier looked upon the space you occupy. Take away the |
| C:9.10 | Take away the body’s usefulness. Would you keep that which you | now look upon? As you stand back and observe your body, always with |
| C:9.10 | have made can, for its only purpose is your use. Choose to use it | now to return you to your real Self, and the new purpose you |
| C:9.12 | As stated before, what is most useful to us | now is your perception of your heart. Your illusions concerning it, |
| C:9.21 | Think | now of one of those you have identified as living the life of fear |
| C:9.22 | You may be thinking | now that what I have just told you is not an answer is precisely what |
| C:9.33 | happiness and power to that which you have made! It matters little | now that in so doing you once again imitated what your faulty memory |
| C:9.34 | has allowed you to make of yourself and your world what you will. | Now you look upon this world with guilt and see it as evidence of |
| C:9.50 | expand on the lessons you are learning by observing your own self. | Now we seek to uncover the illusion that you can be used by your |
| C:10.2 | Now we must return to the concept of relationship, for the thought of | |
| C:10.8 | to discourage you, but to encourage you not to give up. Your purpose | now is the holiest possible and all of heaven is with you. All that |
| C:10.13 | is that you are in union with your brothers and sisters, right | now, today. To believe in God without understanding God is one thing. |
| C:10.16 | of what you made it for and in terms of the way in which you can | now be guided to use it for the benefit of all. |
| C:10.24 | your thoughts without the benefit of your ears. You may be saying | now, “Of course that is the way we hear our thoughts—it is the |
| C:10.28 | Keep going | now for this is but a beginning. Experiment, just for the fun of it, |
| C:11.3 | like the idea that those who would instruct you know more than you | now know, and why you begin each new course of learning by feeling as |
| C:11.6 | is based on union. Your faith in what you have made has been shaken | now, and you realize you would like to place your faith elsewhere. |
| C:11.14 | you will feel the shift of cause and quit worrying about effect. For | now what you desire are effects, without realizing cause must shift |
| C:12.7 | Admit | now your desire to rest, a desire that could make you weep and make |
| C:12.12 | ago you evolved from a form different than that which you inhabit | now; but certainly within the laws of evolution, you have changed as |
| C:12.25 | Now, carry this pattern forward, for the pattern of God’s extension | |
| C:14.1 | your brothers and your sisters has been to challenge God’s creation. | Now your united purpose must change to that of remembering who you |
| C:14.7 | You who have made a god of reason and of intellect, think carefully | now of what your reason and your intellect have made for you. How |
| C:14.14 | It is your response to love that concerns us | now, for the return of love is coming and you do not want to make the |
| C:14.23 | the same purpose, but bid it do the job of rewarding you here and | now. It, like heaven, is your proof that you are good and worthy, |
| C:15.1 | We have talked much | now of your special love for others, but what of the specialness you |
| C:15.8 | For | now we come upon a linchpin in your plan for specialness—one of |
| C:16.2 | You may ask | now why it doesn’t seem so, and the only answer is that you do not |
| C:16.3 | or criminal, and claim that it is not love he seeks, and that he is | now less than those who once were the same as he. What is the same |
| C:16.15 | asked to live a life of even greater risk than that which you live | now. |
| C:17.5 | as lacking much of what you have judged to be good in the world you | now perceive. |
| C:17.12 | See you | now why those who judge cannot enter heaven? Judgment proceeds from |
| C:17.13 | Being an observer of your body has prepared you for this. Step back | now to the place that has been held for you. You have not lost “your |
| C:17.17 | —a concept you do not understand for it is beyond concepts. But | now we begin to integrate your learning as we move to wholeness. The |
| C:17.18 | What is the same cannot have different functions. And | now your mind and heart must work together in the united function we |
| C:18.2 | circle but would fall, each end suspended in space. The chain would | now be a line seeming to go from here to there, instead of enclosing |
| C:18.3 | Now imagine further that this chain is keeping the Earth in its | |
| C:18.8 | those who comprise it, and imagine the life that you experience | now taking place much like that you would see projected on a movie |
| C:18.8 | are also part of the projection, and this is where your awareness | now abides, seemingly trapped upon the screen, viewing everything |
| C:18.9 | not imagine what this world would be like any more than you can | now imagine what a united world will be like. You did not understand, |
| C:18.10 | believable is to alter what you experience. The state in which you | now exist was not only unbelievable but also inconceivable to you in |
| C:18.10 | was required in order to alter your belief system and is required | now as well. |
| C:18.14 | is born, it exists in relationship to its creator. All that remains | now is a choice of participation. In unity, all that you desired was |
| C:18.16 | from mind to heart. This is a first step in what will seem | now like an attempt to balance two separate things, but is really an |
| C:18.17 | this Course of Love is that you dedicate all thought to union. This | now must be seen in two dimensions rather than one. In addition to |
| C:18.21 | the means by which communion can return to you. So what we speak of | now is integrating remembrance and thought. |
| C:19.9 | for yourself and a few others rather than belovedness for all. But | now, perhaps, you are ready. |
| C:19.15 | of others. Yet, in the case of coming to know what lies before you | now—coming to know your own Self—it is obvious that another’s |
| C:19.18 | asking. You but asked for your separated state and it was made so. | Now you need to but ask for unity to return for it to be so. The |
| C:19.18 | It is this non-belief in a response that makes it capable of asking. | Now that you are beginning to shed the concept of the separate self |
| C:19.20 | My brothers and sisters in Christ, do not become impatient | now. We are on the home stretch and all you long for is nearer than |
| C:19.23 | The way you have perceived of yourself and your world until | now has not been right-minded, and you are beginning to realize this. |
| C:19.23 | been right-minded, and you are beginning to realize this. Thus it is | now appropriate for the realization to come to you that your mind, |
| C:20.1 | Your longing | now has reached a fever pitch, a burning in your heart quite |
| C:20.2 | This is a call to move | now into my embrace and let yourself be comforted. Let the tears fall |
| C:20.7 | We have returned to the embrace. And | now your arms cradle me as well, for an embrace, although it may |
| C:20.8 | And | now we begin to see with the eyes of our heart. We are no longer |
| C:20.16 | nor for the feeling of abandonment so many of you have felt. You are | now within the embrace where all such hurts are healed. |
| C:20.31 | has been rejected. You have long embraced fear and rejected love. | Now the reverse is true. This reversal of truth has changed the |
| C:20.34 | one heartbeat. The world, the universe, is your partner—and only | now do you hear the music that brings grace to all your movements, |
| C:20.35 | You have not before | now been able to even imagine knowing what you do. You hope to have |
| C:21.2 | is found. This will be discussed in more detail later, but for | now, I return you, through the embrace, to the holy relationship but |
| C:21.3 | Concepts that cannot be felt with your heart are of no use to you | now, for they are meant for their usefulness rather than for their |
| C:21.6 | The embrace can | now be likened to the starting point of a shared language, a language |
| C:22.1 | We will talk much more of imagining | now, and you may, at first, be resistant to this instruction. To |
| C:22.1 | you deem appropriate. Please assure yourself, as I assure you, that | now is an appropriate time, an essential time, for such activity. |
| C:22.2 | have not as yet discussed how this relationship is provided in form. | Now we will do so. |
| C:23.9 | having to do with physical proximity, think of this example. | Now imagine communities of faith. Around the world, people are united |
| C:23.13 | is what is required to cause this to be so. It is what is necessary | now. It will change the world. |
| C:23.22 | for the new. It allows your form to reflect what and who you are | now in terms that coincide with the “you” whom you have always been. |
| C:25.9 | Devotion leads to harmony through action. This is possible for you | now only if you have integrated the most basic teaching of this |
| C:25.13 | An attitude of invulnerability is necessary | now. It is not arrogance or a means by which to flirt with risk and |
| C:26.8 | This is what we | now leave behind as we seek to become involved with life. I say we |
| C:26.14 | and impatience has been building. This buildup has been necessary. | Now, like an explosion waiting to happen, it only needs a trigger to |
| C:26.15 | explosion. It is as if you have been waiting for someone to whisper: | Now! The whisper has come. The time is now. |
| C:26.15 | for someone to whisper: Now! The whisper has come. The time is | now. |
| C:26.22 | all that is known about you. God’s idea of you is perfect, and until | now your form has been but an imperfect representation of God’s idea. |
| C:26.27 | unity, oneness with God. I ushered in the new way that you are | now longing to adopt. I ushered in a time of being. |
| C:27.1 | We return | now to what your being is. Being is. As love is. You have attached |
| C:27.11 | that you cannot accomplish “on your own” or with the concept you | now hold of yourself. Just as you can look about and see that no two |
| C:27.21 | You are ready | now, and all that will you prevent you from living a life of love is |
| C:27.21 | one remaining source of such unwillingness. Your willingness will | now depend on whether or not you trust. Do you trust these words? Do |
| C:28.10 | to grow. Because you believe it, this is, at first, quite true. But | now it is no longer the time to rely on conviction that comes from |
| C:28.10 | along your way. They serve a limited purpose for a limited time. | Now is the time to step beyond the validation that your teachers can |
| C:28.12 | form misses the point of what you have gained. You may be asking | now, “Are you saying to do nothing?” At the thought of this you will |
| C:29.2 | integrated this Course’s definition of service into your lives. But | now you shall. For you cannot bring the learning you have done here |
| C:29.9 | of mist, of clouds before the sun. Your hand is outstretched | now and your light is clearing away the mist. The gateway to unity |
| C:29.11 | against ideas of service. You have no time for more than you do | now, and you think of service, if you think of it at all, as |
| C:29.19 | As you once chose separation you can | now choose unity. Not knowing that unity was a choice prevented you |
| C:29.19 | that unity was a choice prevented you from making this choice before | now. Now I tell you clearly, the choice is yours. Choose once again. |
| C:29.19 | unity was a choice prevented you from making this choice before now. | Now I tell you clearly, the choice is yours. Choose once again. |
| C:29.26 | The past nor the future matter not. All is available in the here and | now where giving and receiving occur. |
| C:30.8 | word present, there is no infinitude, but only a vague concept of | now. This is the key concept that I not only knew but demonstrated. |
| C:30.11 | What the Course is speaking of | now, in essence, is gain without loss. You will never be aware of |
| C:30.13 | The source of love and its location is your own heart. Think | now of the created form, the body. When the heart stops beating, life |
| C:30.14 | over the laws of God. Since perception arises from the mind, we must | now discuss the mind. |
| C:31.37 | our Father and me as you have realized that you are here to learn. | Now, with a clear learning goal in mind, these idealized |
| C:32.1 | looked to those who do not know the difference for your answers. | Now you can see that you need to look to a different source. |
| T1:1.4 | experience memory provides that truth rather than illusion can | now be experienced and learned from. It is in the present-moment |
| T1:1.5 | you believe you learned from illusion will have no meaning to you | now and will allow you to give up any remnants of false learning you |
| T1:1.6 | you to trust in your heart, your reunited mind and heart will | now be called to act in unison. That A Course of Love instructed you |
| T1:1.6 | this Course. The mechanics of the mind can in truth be left behind | now as we concentrate rather on the art of thought. |
| T1:1.7 | for you to hear the wisdom of your heart and begin your return. | Now, in order to complete your return, mind and heart must work as |
| T1:1.9 | in you, making you The Accomplished. As The Accomplished, you | now are able to access universal mind. |
| T1:1.10 | only illusion and called it reality, the mind joined in union will | now, more and more, recognize only truth and experience only the |
| T1:1.12 | Again your willingness is called upon. Be willing | now to apply the art of thought to the experience of truth. |
| T1:2.2 | fear, to struggle, to effort, to control and protection, can all | now be seen as the product of the thoughts of your ego-mind. |
| T1:2.5 | has begun and continues here as well. The difference is that you are | now ready to learn a new means of response to this unlearning and |
| T1:2.8 | at learning have been valiant and are no cause for anxiety. But | now this alternative is being revealed to you, and it does call for a |
| T1:3.6 | faith in what is, is a faith in miracles. Miracles are what you are | now asked to call upon. For calling upon miracles is an act of faith. |
| T1:3.7 | I ask you | now to request a miracle. |
| T1:3.12 | you this is no idle request. Whatever is necessary to convince you | now is what I will provide. Such is the urgency of the time, the |
| T1:3.14 | This does not have to be done right | now if your fear is mightier than your willingness. But hold this |
| T1:3.14 | be provided. Such is the urgency of your return to unity. If not | now, then soon, you will be asked to make this final choice, this |
| T1:3.26 | Now we can address each of these fears, bringing to them the art of | |
| T1:4.4 | of your existence as a human being and as a gift of the Creator. | Now that we have more properly identified the miracle, you must see |
| T1:4.10 | Think of all you | now feel responsible for and this lesson will become more clear. |
| T1:4.26 | was said within A Course of Love, all fear is doubt about your self. | Now we must expand upon this thought, for doubt about your Self is |
| T1:4.27 | not been reconciled with your experience here. This is what we will | now seek to do by putting an end to fear and ushering in, with this |
| T1:5.2 | This is a two-fold fear that must be looked at carefully | now and with all the power of the art of thought. One aspect of this |
| T1:5.9 | ego-mind that make the in-between state of the illusion in which you | now exist seem real. I must make a distinction here, between the |
| T1:5.11 | of the ego-mind, as stated many times and in many ways, must | now be brought to completion. |
| T1:6.7 | Memory is valuable to us | now because it relies not on perception. If perception were all that |
| T1:7.3 | We are moving you | now away from all such beliefs to a knowing that precludes the need |
| T1:7.6 | This is why we must speak | now of being human in a new way. We must reconcile the differences |
| T1:8.1 | Will of God. I have told you that you are no different than I was. | Now I call you to be no different than I am. |
| T1:8.2 | though you have known this not. For the resurrection and life are | now one and the same. |
| T1:8.4 | I have come to you | now to reveal the one truth that has existed for the past two |
| T1:8.7 | Now, how could one man’s resurrection be the way or even a way. How | |
| T1:8.8 | as the proof required, much as proof has been offered to you | now in the form of miracles. How could one rise from the dead and |
| T1:8.12 | Mary is called upon | now as the myth to end all myths for in this example life alone is |
| T1:8.14 | in form. The ability to resurrect in life. The ability to resurrect | now. |
| T1:8.16 | one in truth. It is one more demonstration of what needs to occur | now, in this time, in order for the truth of the resurrection to be |
| T1:9.3 | However, we are talking | now, in a certain sense, of an elevation of form. While this is |
| T1:9.5 | Now you are asked to carry new life not in the womb but in the united | |
| T1:9.15 | would have been to protect and use that which you have most valued. | Now your response will have been changing. You will not see so much |
| T1:10.1 | Now let me address the issue of the peace you have been experiencing | |
| T1:10.1 | to be feeling. There is a core of peace at the center of your Self | now and the issues that you choose to deal with will not affect that |
| T1:10.5 | You used your free will to choose the human experience. | Now are you willing to use it to choose the Peace of God instead? Can |
| T1:10.6 | within. You have chosen them for just this reason. But you can | now be an observer and look upon them as your brothers and sisters |
| T1:10.8 | is no other peace. There is no other God. Whether you believe it | now or not, I assure you, within the Peace of God is all the joy of |
| T1:10.9 | profound learning. You will think that you would not be who you are | now without experiences such as this one. You will think that I |
| T1:10.9 | have already had them! I ask you not to give them up. Only to make | now a new choice. |
| T1:10.13 | your inheritance. Yet let the memory of the truth return to you | now and you will see that peace is all you have sought learning to |
| T1:10.13 | peace is all you have sought learning to attain. If you do not pause | now and accept that it is here, you will not know the Peace of God |
| T1:10.15 | Now your final instruction is here. You who have found peace—live | |
| T2:1.4 | you may have determined that exploring your internal treasure is | now unnecessary. You may well be feeling a sense of relief in having |
| T2:1.4 | feeling a sense of relief in having learned that who you are right | now is a being of perfection, and you may find in this a somewhat |
| T2:1.4 | judgment behind, you judge your desire to be other than you are | now, including any desires related to those internal treasures you |
| T2:1.4 | become abilities. You think this willingness to accept who you are | now is what this Course has led you to and evidence of your |
| T2:1.8 | often used the idea of place as a teaching aid. But you are ready | now to begin to think without the need for form. |
| T2:3.4 | This was stated early in A Course of Love and is returned to | now for a specific reason. While the truth that it is the Christ in |
| T2:3.4 | been given little attention as you began your learning, it cannot | now be ignored. Now you have realized your learning. You have begun |
| T2:3.4 | attention as you began your learning, it cannot now be ignored. | Now you have realized your learning. You have begun to see the |
| T2:3.4 | of relevance even within the daily life you currently move through. | Now you must fully recognize the distinction between the ego-self |
| T2:3.4 | was the self of learning and experience, and the Christ-Self that is | now the Self of learning and experience. You must take on the mantle |
| T2:3.5 | It is this recognition that you are | now acting and living in the world as your Christ-Self rather than as |
| T2:4.1 | the omega, eternity and infinity. It is not only life as you know it | now, but life in all its aspects. It is life beyond death as well as |
| T2:4.6 | a learned ability for the swimmer and is a learned ability for you | now as you journey back to your real Self. It requires remembrance, |
| T2:4.7 | to your reaction to all that occurs within your life. Let us look | now at your reaction to the idea put forth earlier of having a |
| T2:4.12 | would bring you fulfillment. This is about recognizing who you are | now. This is not a quick fix that calls you to what might have been |
| T2:4.14 | Now you may feel as if this Treatise has led around in a circle, | |
| T2:4.14 | you back only to contemplate again the acceptance of where you are | now. However, to accept where you are is not the same as accepting |
| T2:4.17 | one thing is accomplished for another to begin. What is happening | now is happening in unison. As the old goes, the new arrives. There |
| T2:4.19 | call that your heart alone can hear. As I have said, your heart has | now become your eyes and ears. Your heart hears only one call, one |
| T2:5.2 | opportunities. Thus recognition of the different calls that may | now be heard is necessary. |
| T2:6.2 | If time is but a measure of learning, and if your learning is | now at the stage at which it occurs in unison with unlearning, then |
| T2:6.2 | the end of time as you know it is close at hand. If you can begin | now to think without the barriers of time you but place upon your |
| T2:6.6 | than who you are in the present. Unity exists only in the here and | now of the present. There is no will be in unity. There is only what |
| T2:6.8 | rather than of what is already accomplished that needs adjustment | now. As a tree exists fully accomplished within its seed and yet |
| T2:6.10 | does mind and heart join in unity in the present, in the here and | now, so that you exist—even within form—as the only Son of God, |
| T2:7.5 | That you exist in relationship with all is a belief that you must | now incorporate into living. Further, you must remember that |
| T2:7.6 | This source is the ego. Even | now, the ego will take every opportunity that arises to prove to you |
| T2:7.19 | you develop the discipline to express your true Self, as you are | now. This is the only way the Self you are now has to grow and |
| T2:7.19 | true Self, as you are now. This is the only way the Self you are | now has to grow and change. This is the only means the Self you are |
| T2:7.19 | now has to grow and change. This is the only means the Self you are | now has of giving and receiving as one. This is the only means |
| T2:8.1 | your love relationships will provide a rich learning ground for you | now, they must also now be separated from all that would continue to |
| T2:8.1 | will provide a rich learning ground for you now, they must also | now be separated from all that would continue to make them special. |
| T2:8.2 | relationship is your Self. This is the learning ground on which you | now stand. All that prevents you from being who you are within these |
| T2:8.2 | the nature of many relationships may be required to change. Remember | now that there is no loss but only gain, or you will feel threatened |
| T2:8.3 | you are is but a mockery of relationship. The calls that come to you | now as signs and demands will not only aid you in your realization of |
| T2:8.6 | onto the paths of seeking. The truth of yourself that you reveal | now will not become a new truth as you take a new path. Your path now |
| T2:8.6 | now will not become a new truth as you take a new path. Your path | now is sure and its final acceptance necessary. You are the prodigal |
| T2:9.1 | I ask you | now to remember a time when you felt from another the desire to help |
| T2:9.2 | be inconceivable to you in the state of unity before you left it. | Now, they are just tools, as are many other means of practice that |
| T2:9.3 | We are | now beginning to speak of the second aspect of treasure that was |
| T2:10.2 | resign as your own teacher. This belief in the self as teacher has | now been replaced with the belief that you only learn in unity. |
| T2:10.3 | such as “my brain just isn’t working right today.” I want you | now to keep this example in mind as we explore learning in unity. |
| T2:10.6 | from wants by a discussion of their shared nature, so too | now must knowing be distinguished from what you consider intelligence. |
| T2:11.1 | and all you hold responsible for this truth. This forgiveness has | now extended in two distinct ways. First in forgiving your Creator |
| T2:11.1 | a world that has taught you to want to be other than who you are. | Now our aim is to show you how to integrate the belief that you are a |
| T2:11.2 | you no longer want to be other than who you are, and even though you | now have a much clearer understanding of who you are, you will find |
| T2:11.2 | be forced to live by its laws. This will cause struggle and, as you | now know that struggle of any kind alerts you to the presence of ego, |
| T2:11.4 | ego. As the ego has been the known identity of your existence until | now, it will, in a sense, be forever with you, much as the body that |
| T2:11.4 | by you the power to do battle with the truth, or with God. Remember | now and always that you and God are one and that what you invite to |
| T2:11.9 | of means and end being the same. Your devotion to this learning must | now be complete, your willingness total, your way of learning that of |
| T2:11.13 | So let us | now, for the sake of continued learning, speak of separation in a new |
| T2:11.16 | new way and the lack of value from this type of effort can surely | now be seen. |
| T2:12.13 | this way of living be the expression of who you are and all that you | now remember. Let this remembrance grow and flourish as the garden |
| T2:12.14 | Recognize | now that unity is within you and without you, in all you are and all |
| T2:13.1 | to those put forth previously, a personal call from me to you. By | now you have seen that your fears of losing yourself to God were |
| T2:13.1 | seen that your fears of losing yourself to God were unfounded. By | now you have seen that yourself does not need to stand separate and |
| T2:13.2 | Now that you have been made ready, I am ready to return you to your | |
| T2:13.2 | you have been made ready, I am ready to return you to your Self. | Now that you have been made ready, it is time for us to have a |
| T2:13.2 | discounted the personal self I experience in relationship with you. | Now, in unity, we are ready to be personal again. |
| T2:13.3 | who laughs and loves and cries and shares with friends in a world | now different than the one you once perceived. I know of this world |
| T2:13.5 | It is an attitude of praise and thankfulness that flows between us | now. The light of heaven shines not down upon you but is given and |
| T2:13.6 | This is not such a frightening task. Let fear go and walk with me | now. Our journey together is just beginning as we return to the |
| T3:1.1 | to others represented an ego-self who you believed yourself to be. | Now the ego has been separated from the personal self so that you may |
| T3:1.7 | unity and you are left, perhaps, feeling unsure of the part you are | now to play. There is not one of you who has not begun to experience |
| T3:1.8 | others and that this is the only way in which the personal self will | now continue to exist. This statement implies and acknowledges your |
| T3:1.9 | awareness of your true Self from your mind. Your true Self is | now ready to come out of the mist of illusion in which it was hidden |
| T3:1.10 | To say that the personal self will | now exist only as the self you present to others is to say that the |
| T3:1.10 | the self you present to others is to say that the personal self will | now cease to be seen as your reality. |
| T3:1.13 | the personal self from the ego-self. There is a danger even | now in focusing upon the self of the body, as this self has been so |
| T3:1.13 | ego’s thought system remain to be undone. This is atonement. We work | now to correct the errors of the past in the present, the only place |
| T3:2.4 | is part of the foundation that has been built around this system. | Now, along with the beliefs put forth in “A Treatise on Unity,” you |
| T3:2.6 | We leave all of this behind | now as we advance toward truth through returning to original purpose. |
| T3:2.10 | Thus you stand at the beginning, with a Self | now devoid of the meaninglessness you but attempted to assign to it. |
| T3:2.11 | the Self you believe you abandoned there. Be truthful with yourself | now and realize that what I speak of here is known to you. Realize |
| T3:2.11 | We have worked, thus far, to change your idea of a vengeful God. | Now we work to change your idea of a vengeful self. For what else |
| T3:3.6 | This is the vengeful self we eliminate | now. You have, in truth, replaced judgment with forgiveness, but you |
| T3:3.9 | ideal community, away from all that has brought you to where you | now are, you might be able to put the beliefs of this Course into |
| T3:3.9 | self you believe this Course calls you to be. Most of you have | now believed you are “good enough” for days or hours or moments, but |
| T3:3.10 | worthy and unworthy, a list as endless as it was worthless. Realize | now the worthlessness of this idea and let it go. |
| T3:4.8 | this or not matters not. This A Course of Love has accomplished. | Now the choice is before you to do one of two things: to proceed |
| T3:5.1 | While you have just been told that you | now exist in a state of emptiness, this is not a state to be feared. |
| T3:5.6 | in which I lived it, and has an appropriateness that continues even | now. I walked the earth in order to reveal a God of love. The |
| T3:5.7 | The death of an only son, then as | now, would be seen as a sacrifice of enormous proportions; the |
| T3:6.6 | release of bitterness and made you ready for this choice. Choose | now to leave your desire for reward, as well as all of your reasons |
| T3:7.1 | As you have seen by | now, we have moved from talking of beliefs in “A Treatise on Unity,” |
| T3:7.2 | that 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 |
| T3:7.9 | Now you have seized upon even this idea and called it not treasure | |
| T3:8.1 | you have called things are but representations too and that we move | now beyond representations to meaning so that what you represent will |
| T3:8.1 | and sisters scrambling in the dust. The work that is upon you | now is that of replacing the house of illusion once and for all with |
| T3:8.1 | once and for all with the home of truth. The work that is upon you | now is that of revelation of the Source. |
| T3:8.4 | you believe the personal self is comprised of the one identity you | now hold or the identity of many past lives, the identity you hold in |
| T3:8.10 | in the house of illusion have wrought. These treasures that you | now enjoy would have seemed like miracles to them. |
| T3:8.13 | does not have to be even while you have accepted that it is? Let us | now put an end to this acceptance through the birth of a new idea. |
| T3:9.1 | accepts that this can be done and can be done by you in the here and | now. To accept these ideas without accepting their ability to be |
| T3:9.2 | While you cannot | now see the chain of events that will make these ideas into a new |
| T3:9.3 | it and held together by the learned ideas of the ego thought system. | Now you must imagine yourself walking outside of the doors of this |
| T3:9.6 | who have followed me beyond the walls of the house of illusion are | now called to begin the act of revealing and creating anew the life |
| T3:10.1 | A Course of Love talked much of remembering. | Now we must talk about forgetting. While nothing need be given up to |
| T3:10.1 | practical lessons needed in regard to the life of the body that you | now will let serve our cause of creating heaven on earth. |
| T3:10.4 | it is you fear, been able to bring those concerns to love, you can | now do so with blame. All you need do is catch yourself in the act of |
| T3:10.5 | of blame is an idea of acceptance of what is, an idea that is needed | now. |
| T3:10.7 | formerly reacted to every situation. Not one situation coming to you | now will be a repeat of the past. How can it be when the past was |
| T3:10.7 | your time of unlearning what the past but seemed to teach you. | Now, while life may seem much unchanged in its outward appearance, it |
| T3:10.9 | and that you are no longer called to doubt yourself. Your Self is | now your Christ-Self. |
| T3:10.11 | yourself that the time for uncertainty is past. Uncertainty will not | now come to teach you lessons you have already learned but will only |
| T3:10.14 | What we are doing | now is much like translating the learned thought system of the ego |
| T3:10.16 | temptations of the human experience. These are what we will | now address. |
| T3:11.7 | This is what you are | now called to do: Be aware that the love of God lives within you. |
| T3:11.14 | truth. This is why the word see is consciously used here and why we | now refrain from use of the word perceive. Perception is gone as soon |
| T3:12.4 | before, is the miracle. This miracle is the goal toward which we | now work. |
| T3:12.5 | to 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 |
| T3:12.8 | “better” or more “right” before this choice was made than you are | now. You made a choice consistent with the laws of creation and the |
| T3:12.11 | creation but there are stages of growth and change. Humankind is | now passing through a tremendous stage of growth and change. Are you |
| T3:13.1 | Now that we have established the consistency of our former purpose, | |
| T3:13.4 | Broad brushstrokes have been made | now, giving you the beginnings of a vision of a life in physical form |
| T3:13.4 | that has been accomplished. The new learning that lies ahead of you | now is simply learning in accordance with the new thought system of |
| T3:13.4 | distinguish between love and fear as cause is all that is important | now as you will create the new according to what you believe to be |
| T3:13.5 | Remember | now that pleasure and pain as perceived by the body are from the same |
| T3:13.9 | really being represented in the life you live here. This you must | now do. You must represent the truth of these words with your life. |
| T3:14.1 | While the foundation of fear, like the ego, will have left you | now, a pattern of behaving fearfully may still remain and as such be |
| T3:14.1 | system will still exist within your mind and heart, as nothing can | now take this memory from you, but to experience the new thought |
| T3:14.2 | system and living by a new thought system more clear. Because you | now are translating the thought system of the ego into the thought |
| T3:14.3 | It should be becoming clear to you by | now that, although you dwell in the house of the truth, you are |
| T3:14.5 | I am, however, the bringer of Good News. | Now I will repeat to you a piece of good news you may have forgotten: |
| T3:14.5 | than who you are. What this means to the learning stage you are at | now is that you but think you are discontent with much of your life. |
| T3:14.10 | you, at this point, still hold to yourself and call unforgivable, | now is the time to let them go. If you have read the paragraph above |
| T3:14.10 | have not previously brought to love to be seen in a new light, are | now revealed in the light of truth. |
| T3:14.11 | The suffering that has been chosen has been mighty. The choice | now is not a choice to explore the why behind it or to look for |
| T3:14.11 | the why behind it or to look for remedies for the past. The choice | now is whether you want suffering to continue or want to abolish it |
| T3:14.11 | of being called selfishness. Be self “less” rather than selfish | now and allow the self that you would blame to pass away into the |
| T3:14.14 | We are writing a new first page, a new Genesis. It begins | now. It begins with the rebirth of a Self of love. It begins with the |
| T3:15.7 | You must | now birth the idea that human beings do indeed change. While you have |
| T3:15.7 | there is a core, a center to each that is unchangeable, you must | now give up the idea that this core or center has been represented by |
| T3:15.9 | The new beginning you are called to | now is a new beginning that, like all others that you have offered or |
| T3:15.11 | no need to learn the truth. The truth exists within you and you are | now aware of its reality. |
| T3:15.16 | What we are adding | now to these beliefs is the idea that these beliefs can be |
| T3:16.6 | keep this lag in time a constant, and make it seem as if what is | now is still awaiting replacement by what will be, is a change that |
| T3:16.15 | Now you must forget the idea of needing to maintain specialness. A | |
| T3:16.15 | love relationships. You will realize that the love and the Self you | now have available to share in relationship are all that you would |
| T3:17.2 | that what was observable was “other than” he who did the observing. | Now your science is proving to you the relationship between the |
| T3:17.4 | As such, it was as much a new beginning as the new beginning you are | now called to. It required the learning of a new thought system, the |
| T3:17.5 | of untruth in the mechanism of time, to the world in which you | now exist. It may seem ridiculous to say that the untrue can be |
| T3:17.6 | Holy Spirit, are but word symbols that represent what is. So think | now of whatever stories you know of the Holy Spirit, stories that |
| T3:17.8 | could not have returned to you. The “time” of the Holy Spirit has | now ended because the time of illusion is now called to an end. What |
| T3:17.8 | 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 this is |
| T3:18.1 | those who have not learned by the Holy Spirit will learn. They will | now learn through observation. |
| T3:18.2 | have been unwilling to accept or learn an unobservable truth, will | now accept and learn from observable truth. This is why you must |
| T3:18.8 | what is there. You must constantly remember that your observance is | now an act of worship and of devotion and that you are called to |
| T3:18.9 | thought system of illusion, it is natural to realize that it will | now be instructed by the thought system of the truth. Thus your eyes |
| T3:18.10 | We also | now link observance and ideas. Ideas form in the mind. You are used |
| T3:18.10 | the relationship of the truth that unites all things and that must | now become observable. |
| T3:19.2 | upon the physical. How could this be true when the physical is | now called upon to serve the greatest learning humankind has ever |
| T3:19.4 | has been linked to temptations of the human experience. Let us | now dispel this link. The physical form has been blamed for choices |
| T3:19.11 | that will seem to arise from bodily temptations. Although you will | now represent who you are in physical form in a new way, you can |
| T3:19.13 | until it was represented in an observable manner, something you will | now do. |
| T3:20.1 | and so but seemed to become a master that made of you a slave. | Now time must be thought of in a new way, a way that has to do with |
| T3:20.1 | has at its base a false cause and so no effects that exist in truth. | Now, your every thought and action will have effect, and the choices |
| T3:20.3 | and thus what you strive for in effectiveness is your own learning. | Now, rather than learning the truth, you are learning how to live by |
| T3:20.5 | Let us | now link observation and the miracle. An easy illustration is |
| T3:21.8 | truth is to deny other truths. There is only one truth. Untruth must | now be denied. |
| T3:21.10 | self is the only place in which you have experience that can | now be used for a new purpose. |
| T3:21.17 | Now however, you are being called to accept your true identity even | |
| T3:21.20 | sameness by some and will attract them to you and to the truth you | now will represent. |
| T3:21.21 | could change the world has passed. The world is quite simply bigger | now and the identities of your personal selves split by far more than |
| T3:22.9 | You are impatient | now to get on to the next level, the level of something new, the |
| T3:22.10 | in matters of a personal nature. This very readiness is what I | now call your attention to as I complete this Treatise with lessons |
| T3:22.12 | I return you | now to what I spoke of earlier as creative tension, the tension that |
| T3:22.13 | and of what you desire, is an act that takes place in the here and | now that is and brings what is into existence. You believe that what |
| T3:22.13 | believe that what does not appear to exist with you in the here and | now is not, and place it in a separate category, a category that only |
| T3:22.13 | that only exists in the dualistic world of illusion where here and | now is separate from what will be. In the new world, the world where |
| T3:22.14 | of what is, for your desire is of God and what you desire | now, contrary to what you would have desired in the early stages of |
| T3:22.14 | the early stages of this Course, is the Will of God. What you desire | now is the Will of God because it is your true desire, your will and |
| T4:1.3 | that will cause your mind to conclude that some are not chosen | now and that many were not chosen in the past. |
| T4:1.8 | reject, say yes or say no, to learn this or to learn that, to learn | now or to learn later. |
| T4:1.11 | The choice that lies before you | now concerns what it is you would come to know. The question asked |
| T4:1.11 | you are willing to make the choice to come to know your Self and God | now. This is the same as being asked if you are willing to be the |
| T4:1.11 | between truth and illusion, fear and love, unity and separation, | now and later. What you must understand is that all choices will lead |
| T4:1.13 | many of you have come instinctively to feel, something is different | now. You are beginning to become excited by the feeling that |
| T4:1.13 | been known? What could possibly make you believe it could come to be | now when it didn’t come to be before? |
| T4:1.21 | It is the truth that you have | now learned all that can be learned from this state of consciousness |
| T4:1.21 | willingness to learn in a new way. The new way is here. If you are | now to learn directly, you are also now to share directly. This is |
| T4:1.21 | The new way is here. If you are now to learn directly, you are also | now to share directly. This is the way of learning in relationship. |
| T4:1.22 | a fear that once prevented the direct and observable learning that | now is available to you. |
| T4:1.23 | so clearly able to see the contrast between good and evil and feel | now as if these distinctions have become more and more obscure. Some |
| T4:2.1 | and will be can peacefully coexist with the unity that is here and | now in truth. |
| T4:2.2 | outward in your seeking and saw within what you perceived without, | now you turn inward and reflect what you discover within outward. |
| T4:2.6 | The production that has so long occupied you will | now serve you as you turn your productive and reproductive instincts |
| 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 |
| T4:2.15 | was among the original reasons for this chosen experience. Observe | now the expressions of the self you are and have been. Although you |
| T4:2.15 | of the self you are and have been. Although you are different | now than you were as a child, and different now than you were a few |
| T4:2.15 | you are different now than you were as a child, and different | now than you were a few years ago, and different now than when you |
| T4:2.15 | and different now than you were a few years ago, and different | now than when you began your learning of this Course, you are not |
| T4:2.15 | you are not other than whom you have always been. Who you are | now was there when you were a child, and there in all the years since |
| T4:2.15 | learning of this Course. Your awareness of the Self that you are | now was not present in the past, but you can truly now, with the |
| T4:2.15 | Self that you are now was not present in the past, but you can truly | now, with the devotion of the observant, see that the Self you are |
| T4:2.15 | now, with the devotion of the observant, see that the Self you are | now was indeed present, and the truth of who you were always. |
| T4:2.16 | called to, the power of cause and its effect. This is the power you | now have within you, the power to observe the truth rather than |
| T4:2.21 | Now I tell you something else and hope you will remember it and bid | |
| T4:2.23 | Think of this denial | now, for it is still evident in the pattern of your thinking. We have |
| T4:2.25 | overriding point of what I have revealed to you. A new relationship | now exists between the physical and spiritual. It is not an indirect |
| T4:2.27 | union, returned to you through the joining of mind and heart, will | now reveal to you the truth of what was created and allow you to |
| T4:2.29 | love where there is cause for fear. You must remember that you are | now called to see without judgment. To see without judgment is to see |
| T4:2.30 | although you are not aware of the extent of this change. Realize | now that you have come to recognize unity. You do not any longer see |
| T4:2.33 | relationship through unity and relationship. This is your purpose | now, and this the curriculum to guide you to the fulfillment of your |
| T4:3.5 | displacement of the nature of love with the nature of fear. What we | now are about is reversing this displacement and returning you to |
| T4:3.7 | Now, as we reverse this set of circumstances, and replace the world | |
| T4:3.9 | The vision that will arise in you | now is not new. It is your natural vision, the vision of love. What |
| T4:3.15 | that has been fulfilled. It is you who have chosen the means. | Now a new choice is before you. |
| T4:4.6 | as one of life-giving union. I called you then and I call you | now to this inheritance. |
| T4:4.8 | part of the pattern of life-everlasting. The change in the form you | now occupy, the change I have spoken of as that of elevation of the |
| T4:4.16 | worked throughout this Course to return your true identity to you | now? The joining of heart and mind in relationship is the joining of |
| T4:4.16 | personal self with the true Self in the reality in which you exist | now. Remember, the heart must abide in the reality where you think |
| T4:5.11 | I am calling you to make this choice | now. This is not a choice automatic to you in human form or even upon |
| T4:5.11 | You are given the chance, just as you are being given the chance | now, to choose your true nature with your free will. |
| T4:5.12 | Because you have | now made a new choice, a collective choice as one body, one |
| T4:5.12 | your death that you chose direct revelation by God. Think about this | now and you will see that it is true. You hoped to live a good life |
| T4:5.12 | transformed you. The direct revelations that will come to you | now will transform you as surely as did those that came to so many |
| T4:5.13 | you truly; it is no different than the time that is upon you right | now. The afterlife has simply been a time of increased choice because |
| T4:5.13 | the way in which your life will continue. The same is true right | now! For this is the time of Christ and thus of your ability to |
| T4:6.1 | Now I ask you to consider the part you play in the creation of this | |
| T4:6.8 | You have the unequalled opportunity | now, because you exist in the Time of Christ, to directly share |
| T4:7.2 | and God cannot help but grow through the direct and observable means | now available. Just as in the time of the Holy Spirit the spirit was |
| T4:7.3 | Those of you who have acquired Christ-consciousness and are | now learning the vision of Christ-consciousness must realize the many |
| T4:7.3 | of the unity that creates and sustains all living things will | now be as close to the surface of consciousness as was, during the |
| T4:7.5 | judgment, and bound heart and body to this reality. Your heart has | now heard the appeal of this Course and worked with your mind to |
| T4:7.6 | and body have joined in alignment to bring this learning about. They | now exist in harmony. Your mind and heart in union have brought |
| T4:7.7 | poor health is no cause for judgment, as it is the perfect health, | now, in the past, and in the future, to bring you the lessons you |
| T4:8.1 | You are | now beginning to reach the stage of understanding wherein you can |
| T4:8.1 | physical form, and so began this experience of human life. You are | now beginning to be able to understand that it was God who made this |
| T4:8.2 | I say you are only | now beginning to reach a stage where you can understand this, but |
| T4:8.2 | you can understand this, but what I really mean is that you are only | now reaching a stage wherein you can know, within your inner being, |
| T4:8.2 | inner being, that this is the truth. I say this because it is only | now that you can come to know this truth without reverting to old |
| T4:8.2 | for all that has ensued since this choice. I say this because only | now are you beginning to be ready to hear that you and God are the |
| T4:8.17 | you to awareness of your true identity. Be done with learning | now as you accept who you truly are. |
| T4:9.1 | even this coursework comes to an end. It comes to an end here and | now as we move past study and learning to observation, vision, and |
| T4:9.2 | come to an end. For this end to learning is the goal toward which we | now work. |
| T4:9.4 | But | now the time is upon you to leave learned works behind in favor of |
| T4:9.4 | learned works behind in favor of observation, vision and revelation. | Now is the time to leave behind study for imagining, envisioning, and |
| T4:9.4 | time to leave behind study for imagining, envisioning, and desire. | Now is the time to move out of the time of becoming who you are to |
| T4:9.7 | Be appreciative of every tool that has advanced your progress. But | now be willing to leave them behind. |
| T4:9.8 | these called to a wisdom beyond their personal capacity. | Now these forerunners of the new, along with you, are called to step |
| T4:9.9 | have risen in the esteem of your brothers and sisters, be beacons | now to the new. You who have gained so much through your learning and |
| T4:9.9 | move beyond it would be an understandable choice, but you are needed | now. Needed to help establish the covenant of the new. Be not afraid, |
| T4:10.1 | resigning as your own teacher, to becoming a true student, and to | now leading you beyond the time of being a student to the realization |
| T4:10.1 | role and became comfortable in the true role of learner. You are | now asked to be willing to give up the role of learner and to believe |
| T4:10.2 | will come to know anything new, or be anything beyond that which you | now are, without learning. Your thoughts might stray to ideas about |
| T4:10.3 | the lessons contained therein. So how, you might ask, do you quit | now, doing what you have so long done? |
| T4:10.7 | What we work toward | now is to advance from learning and producing things and perceived |
| T4:10.11 | you and the expression of the Self of love in form is what you are | now ready to do. Learning was what was necessary in order to know who |
| T4:11.3 | in Christ, as you once willingly resigned as your own teacher, I | now willingly resign as your teacher. In unity there is no need for |
| T4:12.9 | religious, abandon not your churches, for you will find within them | now, direct experiences of sharing. If you have found guidance and |
| T4:12.9 | word, abandon not the written word, for the written word will | now elicit direct experiences of sharing. If you have enjoyed |
| T4:12.10 | All you must remember | now is that the time of learning is past. While you are still |
| T4:12.14 | in the hopes that it would bring you to the state in which you | now abide! You dreaded each learning challenge because you feared |
| T4:12.20 | let doubt of yourself take hold of you. Even though you are abiding | now in the state of Christ-consciousness, the pattern of the old |
| T4:12.21 | Your “centeredness” must | now be focused on sharing in unity and relationship, and thus |
| T4:12.21 | and relationship and thus creating unity and relationship are only | now being created by the one mind and heart that you share in unity |
| T4:12.24 | You | now exist within a shared consciousness. The pattern of a shared |
| T4:12.27 | which you will come to remember and share in unity that concerns you | now and what we are speaking of when we talk of patterns. There was a |
| D:1.5 | fail to be prepared, for you are already accomplished. What will it | now take for your mind to accept this truth? For the mind’s |
| D:1.12 | of these invite a new identity. So, too, do we invite a new identity | now. While these sacraments have largely lost their meaning, the |
| D:1.12 | these sacraments have largely lost their meaning, the sacrament I | now call you to restores meaning. Since new names are only symbols of |
| D:1.12 | only be known within. It is to this state of grace that I call you | now, today: The state of grace of the newly identified child of God. |
| D:1.14 | I am not less than I once was, but more. Where once I was empty, I | now am full. Where once I dwelt in darkness I now dwell in the light. |
| D:1.14 | once I was empty, I now am full. Where once I dwelt in darkness I | now dwell in the light. Where once I had forgotten Now I remember who |
| D:1.14 | in darkness I now 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 |
| D:1.14 | 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 cause and |
| D:1.16 | remains only as an acceptance of insanity. What I will help you | now to do is to reject this insanity and to accept the perfect sanity |
| D:1.18 | So what is it that we will | now do? If I do not teach, and you do not learn, what is our |
| D:1.22 | state of knowing in which learning is no longer needed. You have | now come upon a curriculum that is impossible to learn. No teacher is |
| D:1.24 | of purpose concerning your body. What once you saw as yourself, you | now must come to see only as a representation of your Self. You are |
| D:1.27 | Thus we work | now toward acceptance of what you have learned in unity. We work |
| D:2.1 | You are | now asked to do two things simultaneously: To accept the new and to |
| D:2.3 | when you deny the patterns of the old. As you have been told, you | now “know what you do” and are no longer a victim to the circumstance |
| D:2.6 | and even appropriate. In regard to the learning that you have | now completed, learning that has revealed the true nature of who you |
| D:2.10 | It is proper | now to deny the modes of learning, even when they seemed to work for |
| D:2.15 | was to return you to your true identity. Because we are working | now for the integration of your true identity into the self of form, |
| D:2.19 | learned so that learning would not need to be endlessly repeated. | Now these systems and patterns have become so entrenched that no new |
| D:3.2 | call to life. It is not of the past or the future but of the eternal | now. It is within you as we speak, the tone and timbre of this |
| D:3.3 | the very purpose you have always desired. You are not purposeless | now. Your life is not meaningless. You are the ushers, the pioneers |
| D:3.7 | and struggle. This is what is meant by surrender. We achieve victory | now through surrender, an active and total acceptance of what is |
| D:3.8 | in “A 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 |
| D:3.10 | oneness. Oneness replaces duality or contrast. You will be seeking | now for replacements for that which formerly ordered your life. Thus |
| D:3.12 | and receiving as one be shared in form. Yet the elevated form, which | now represents the shared consciousness of the Self, is not separate |
| D:3.12 | from the shared consciousness. Thus giving and receiving as one is | now the nature of the elevated Self of form, and what we work toward |
| D:3.16 | has to do with that of which you are aware. To know what you | now know, and remain aware only of the reality of the separated self, |
| D:3.21 | Now I realize that this is just the first step revealed and that many | |
| D:3.21 | you with a concept difficult to learn. What you need remember | now is that your separated self already learned this concept of |
| D:4.2 | made you feel as if each being stood separate and alone, you are | now called to see no more. In unity you are whole and inseparable, |
| D:4.2 | no more. In unity you are whole and inseparable, one living organism | now raised above the level of the organism as you become aware of |
| D:4.3 | It is time | now for this idea to be accepted, for if it is not, you will remain |
| D:4.13 | and we will talk much more of them and of the creative time we are | now entering. Thus far, we are merely working together to create a |
| D:4.16 | loop. Obviously these systems, built as they were upon patterns | now being recreated, are part of the old. |
| D:4.18 | a divine existence. That divine universe, our divine existence, is | now recreating the patterns that served the time of learning. What |
| D:4.20 | Do not seek someone to tell you anew what to do with who you are | now that you are no longer a prisoner. Do not give keys to a new |
| D:4.25 | build the new upon prison walls of old. Whatever imprisons you must | now be left behind. |
| D:4.26 | Those of you | now protesting having heard what you have so longed to hear, protest |
| D:4.28 | your release. You can only turn to what is, to what is left | now that the patterns and systems of learning are no longer. |
| D:4.29 | order, or original design. As you have been returned to your Self, | now your life must be returned to where it fits within the divine |
| D:5.3 | What we are doing | now is returning the world to its true representation. As was said in |
| D:5.8 | an example here. The ego but seemed to be who you were for a time. | Now that you know who you are in truth, the ego does not remain, a |
| D:5.9 | Thus must it be | now with everything in your world. Everywhere you look the lie of |
| D:5.10 | learned to take judgment from your seeing, this must be reemphasized | now as you are called to see what you might previously have thought |
| D:5.11 | Remember | now that you are not called to reinterpret but to accept revelation. |
| D:5.11 | to you to remind you of who you are in the time of learning that is | now passing away. Thus all was given to you to represent what is |
| D:5.11 | all was given to you to represent what is rather than to be what is. | Now, as you join with the truth, your representation, in the new time |
| D:5.12 | in the time of learning are all that exist in all you see. But what | now will become of these patterns that are no longer needed as your |
| D:5.13 | would be to create a tome of information, and this is not needed | now. The desire for such is a desire to think through once again the |
| D:5.17 | that occur as this dialogue proceeds. What I am attempting to answer | now is your confusion concerning what is. This is crucial as you |
| D:5.17 | the human spirit, the longing that has so long gone unfulfilled that | now that you are close you cannot bear to wait another day, another |
| D:5.17 | to wait another day, another hour. You want release from your prison | now, and so you should. |
| D:5.18 | thoughts that so confuse you, the prison of past and future and a | now that isn’t changing fast enough to suit the new you whom you have |
| D:5.20 | exist in perfect harmony with the universe? As you can see, you are | now approaching another thought reversal. Fear not that your |
| D:6.2 | of the properties of the false that aided your learning may | now work as a detriment to your acceptance as you cling to ideas |
| D:6.4 | of course, does not. Your belief in the non-existence of the ego is | now total and has brought a freedom and a liberation in which you |
| D:6.4 | foreign to you and less and less comfortable. Thus what is required | now is a new way of envisioning the body and its service to you. |
| D:6.5 | assisted us in bringing about the end of the time of learning. But | now your body—your form—must be seen in a new way. It is thus |
| D:6.13 | Now if this were to happen, scientists would quickly determine the | |
| D:6.17 | one, you will begin to see the enormity of the thought reversal that | now awaits your acceptance. As I said earlier, we begin by applying |
| D:6.19 | prevented it by abstaining from the unhealthy habits. You might look | now at these two attitudes and see that they are somewhat silly, but |
| D:6.21 | system we are leaving behind. As a non-learning being you are | now called to accept that you no longer need this type of learning |
| D:6.22 | Let us return | now to the beginning and start with the body as a given. It is what |
| D:6.22 | it is in terms of flesh and bone, and it is also the form that is | now serving to represent the truth of who you are. How might this |
| D:6.22 | the design of the body represented? What might the bodily design | now represent? |
| D:6.24 | true Self. You have accepted your true identity. How could the body | now be the same as it once was? |
| D:6.26 | The body is | now the embodiment of the true Self, the embodiment of love, the |
| D:6.26 | of divinity. Its existence is given as it was always given. But | now the very nature of its existence has changed. I say changed here |
| D:6.26 | has always existed in the perfect harmony in which it was created. | Now that your Self has joined the elevated Self of form, you exist |
| D:6.26 | portions of your Self missing from this new experience in form you | now enter into, but that the elevated Self of form is now able to |
| D:6.26 | in form you now enter into, but that the elevated Self of form is | now able to join with the Self in the unity of shared consciousness. |
| D:6.27 | state of form and the state of unity, are both in existence right | now. In the state of unity, your true Self is fully aware of the |
| D:6.28 | no longer a learning being, for what is time needed? Time is needed | now only for the transformation of the self from a learning being to |
| D:7.2 | was used because you were still, at that time, a learning being. | Now we will adjust our language somewhat to represent the new and |
| D:7.4 | place in time because experience, too, was designed for learning. | Now experience is needed in time to aid your total acceptance of what |
| D:7.7 | self, existing as man or woman in a particular time in history. | Now you are called to discover how to exist in form without being |
| D:7.8 | require you to be defined by particularity. You can accept the body | now as what it is in all its manifestations while not seeing it as |
| D:7.9 | truly. You have not been aware of all that you are. You are thus | now called to discover and to become aware of all that you are. The |
| D:7.9 | rather than aiding you in learning as it once did, will aid you | now in this discovery. |
| D:7.10 | or body—because of the dualistic nature associated with them— | now can love all of your Self, all of God, all of creation. You can |
| D:7.11 | But again, we start with the body, returning love to it | now. It is what it is, and nothing that it is, is deserving of |
| D:7.14 | Being in love is a definition of what you | now are as you accept the unconditional, nonjudgmental love of all. |
| D:7.14 | to contain you. It was a relationship with the separated self. | Now, because your relationship is with wholeness, you can transfer |
| D:7.17 | It is a step toward full acceptance and awareness of who you are | now and what this means as you become the elevated Self of form. |
| D:7.20 | With your new awareness you are | now linked, through the consciousness of unity, with the entire field |
| D:7.20 | you will begin to expand and express in new ways. Those ways thus | now include the form of your body without being limited to creation |
| D:7.26 | In order to facilitate your understanding, I call you | now to imagine your body as a dot in the center of a circle and the |
| D:7.26 | learned to view your body in the field of time. This will be helpful | now as you begin to imagine the “more” that you are, the “more” that |
| D:8.1 | imagine your body as the dot within the circle, I ask you to imagine | now being able to take a step outside of the area of this dot, and |
| D:8.2 | this first as a place where no learning is needed. Ah, you might say | now, this you have heard before. This idea of no longer needing to |
| D:8.7 | of the new will naturally include much that goes beyond what you | now think of as your natural talents or abilities, the place or |
| D:8.8 | Now this is not new information. Much of this was taught in “A | |
| D:8.8 | all of what you needed to learn was put forth. What we are | now doing is discussing what was taught from the realm of |
| D:9.4 | life without reaching the place of fulfillment you have sought. Even | now, when you have learned all that you are in need of learning, the |
| D:9.6 | and with your change, the truth, while it remains the truth, can | now be presented in a way that speaks to who you are now rather than |
| D:9.6 | the truth, can now be presented in a way that speaks to who you are | now rather than who you were when you began A Course of Love. |
| D:9.8 | remember your newness and the different aim toward which we | now work. The aims we clearly embraced together when you were still a |
| D:9.8 | “A Treatise on the Art of Thought” was but a forerunner to what we | now will embrace together. It was a means and an end. |
| D:9.10 | “A Treatise on the New” we established what lies beyond learning. | Now, as we embrace the new together, it must be realized again and |
| D:9.11 | the territory of your conscious awareness. We do this by discussing | now the nature of ideas as opposed to the nature of thoughts. |
| D:9.13 | This is how you must | now come to see your form; it is that through which what already |
| D:10.4 | Now you might be thinking, here, that while these givens come from | |
| D:11.4 | beginning to the total rejection of thought as you know it that must | now occur in order to go on to creation of the new. You create the |
| D:11.6 | of a time in which desire will no longer serve you, just as learning | now no longer serves you? If you reach a state of full acceptance of |
| D:11.8 | Now I return you to your idea of how these words have come to you, | |
| D:11.15 | retain your desire to make an individual contribution, when you can | now make a contribution such as this? Is not your unique expression |
| D:11.18 | Turn | now not to your thoughts, but to the mind and heart joined in unity. |
| D:12.4 | this Course. You were told within this Course and you are reminded | now that these words enter through your heart. As your mind and heart |
| D:12.5 | Now you may not “think” that you have been doing this, yet few of you | |
| D:12.5 | felt no “step” into the realm of unity, and you may rightly wonder | now, if you can take such a step and be unaware of it, what its value |
| D:12.6 | This is why we work | now on your awareness and acceptance of your changed state, for |
| D:12.10 | Let us | now consider “thinking” to be the active and often unwelcome voice |
| D:12.11 | is that although thinking does not serve you, you do have, right | now, and have always had, true thoughts that come to you from your |
| D:12.14 | Now that you are coming to a more clear idea of what the “thoughts” | |
| D:13.8 | and you will begin to see the evidence that things are different | now. Join with others who are coming to know through the state of |
| D:13.9 | Just as you were taught that you could not learn on your own, you are | now being told by one who knows that you also do not come to the |
| D:13.11 | We come | now to the second part of what we are exploring together here, the |
| D:14.4 | testing this invulnerability. In a certain sense, these cautions are | now lessened. While you still are not to view your invulnerability as |
| D:14.7 | It has been said often that revelation is of God, but remember | now that God is not “other than” and that the God who seemed so |
| D:14.7 | God who seemed so distant from you when you abided in separation can | now be heard and seen and felt in your experiences of unity. |
| D:14.14 | subtle memory of this state that is behind your striving to become. | Now you are beginning to see the vastness of what is meant by |
| D:15.1 | been the same, and it will not be the same in the future as it is | now. But there are certain principles that govern creation. These |
| D:15.12 | you to develop a relationship with all that passes through you. | Now is the time when the fruit of those efforts will be reaped. For |
| D:15.12 | fruit of those efforts will be reaped. For what passes through you | now is a relationship without end. What passes through you now is the |
| D:15.12 | you now is a relationship without end. What passes through you | now is the eternal come to replace the temporal. |
| D:15.15 | to be. Continual and unblocked and aware pass-through is what we | now consider. |
| D:15.19 | of your relationship with unity. You have experienced unity | now and you wish it to continue to serve you. You thus must strive to |
| D:15.21 | Let this idea enter you | now. You have left behind the conditions of learning. Why? Because |
| D:15.22 | accustomed to the thinner air, the view from above, to what you | now can see. You catch your breath and let the wind of spirit fill |
| D:16.1 | that existed before the onset of the state of becoming. You are | now in the final stage of the state of becoming. You now know who you |
| D:16.1 | You are now in the final stage of the state of becoming. You | now know who you are, and so now you can begin the work, or the |
| D:16.1 | stage of the state of becoming. You now know who you are, and so | now you can begin the work, or the relationship of this final stage: |
| D:16.2 | The creation story is occurring, right | now, in each of you who have reached this final stage of becoming. |
| D:16.12 | has not quite been accomplished in you. This is precisely why we | now discuss this state of becoming, this movement from image to |
| D:16.18 | your former self, the image of your best self, who you may imagine | now, through the grace of God, you finally are. But this may also at |
| D:17.10 | said within this Course, is a condition of the initiate. You have | now passed hope by as you have moved beyond the state of initiation. |
| D:17.11 | You stand | now at the threshold. The stimulus has been provided, the journey |
| D:17.11 | The stimulus has been provided, the journey taken. You are present. | Now is the time for your response. |
| D:17.13 | What is different | now is that your wholeheartedness, as well as your desire, has moved |
| D:17.14 | that were asked of you earlier, for they are even more pertinent | now. Do you think desire will still be with you when you have |
| D:17.14 | of a time in which desire will no longer serve you, just as learning | now no longer serves you? If you reach a state of full acceptance of |
| D:17.15 | Your heart is a full well. It is because you have | now turned to your heart, instead of to your thinking, that you feel |
| D:17.18 | response to desire. It is an assumption of needs unfulfilled. You | now stand in fulfillment. This is the secret of succession. |
| D:17.19 | Desire asks for a response. From where is this response sought? You | now must understand the fullness of the well of your heart, the |
| D:17.20 | You have realized | now that you remain in a state of becoming, and any disappointment |
| D:Day1.6 | Now that you have moved beyond the thought system of the ego self, | |
| D:Day1.6 | initiate, the time of waiting. You have chosen. You are merely asked | now to look at what you have chosen and to understand what you |
| D:Day1.11 | Many people | now are discovering the power of healing. Some think this power comes |
| D:Day1.14 | and lived the teachings that have brought you to this point which I | now would like to lead you beyond, the world would be a different |
| D:Day1.21 | This fulfillment of scripture has | now occurred within you. When it occurred within me, it occurred |
| D:Day1.28 | the story we share. The Bible and all holy texts can be seen clearly | now as one creation story. One story of one beginning. One story with |
| D:Day2.1 | of me. Acceptance of your Self is acceptance of your inheritance. | Now is the time to come into full acceptance of the human self as |
| D:Day2.2 | go the ego, re-viewed your life, unlearned previous patterns, and | now see the difference between the image you hold of yourself and |
| D:Day2.3 | been reconciled. You can see the pattern of your life as clearly | now as if a masterful biography had been written of it. It is this |
| D:Day2.3 | “haunting” to some of you. Your life is being seen more as a whole | now. The parts are fitting together. You can see how you have moved |
| D:Day2.4 | many hardships over many projects that did not come to fruition, and | now has succeeded in inventing just what was always envisioned. This |
| D:Day2.6 | shame; but the hurts you have done others may weigh heavily on you | now. It is as if, at this mountain peak, you have discovered a |
| D:Day2.10 | Let me ask you | now, are these feelings—feelings that are attached to your belief |
| D:Day2.11 | Now is the time for acceptance, even of these actions that you would | |
| D:Day2.18 | that it did not occur in time and space, just as yours is occurring | now in time and space. What this means is that what occurs in time |
| D:Day2.26 | Willingness is | now upon humankind. What my life demonstrated but needs to be |
| D:Day3.1 | is anger. We have already spoken of denial, albeit in a new way. | Now we will speak of anger, in both an old and a new way. Let me |
| D:Day3.2 | for only through them did you learn. You are beginning to see | now that this learning was not a choice but only the way you knew |
| D:Day3.5 | anger is a product of the condition of learning. It always was, but | now this is being revealed to you not just through my words, but by |
| D:Day3.12 | learned during the time of learning that letting it go, even | now, still torments you with worry and anger. It is the idea of an |
| D:Day3.18 | This resentment and envy fills you with anger. If you feel any anger | now, pay attention to its effect on you. You can feel, perhaps, the |
| D:Day3.25 | true. What you learned is insane. But to realize the truth you must | now fully reject the untruths that you learned. You must fully reject |
| D:Day3.26 | the teachings of A Course of Love. But beyond learning is where we | now stand. We now stand at the place of the rejection of learning— |
| D:Day3.26 | of A Course of Love. But beyond learning is where we now stand. We | now stand at the place of the rejection of learning—the rejection |
| D:Day3.40 | You have accepted | now, because of whatever experiences of unity you have had, that the |
| D:Day3.40 | new source of entry. But these points do not advance our discussion | now and can be returned to later. The point here is your “concept” or |
| D:Day3.49 | still and not worrying about money, or taking actions, right-actions | now, as opposed to your idea of the wrong-actions of the past, in |
| D:Day3.54 | You might argue | now that what you do with great ideas and great talent is of |
| D:Day4.1 | my arguments were not fed by anger, the arguments that arise | now for you will be and as such are actually appropriate to this |
| D:Day4.7 | You all begin life without the ability to think in the terms you | now associate almost exclusively with thinking, the terms of having |
| D:Day4.10 | You are here | now not to relearn or be taught what life is all about, not to |
| D:Day4.17 | was purposeful. That challenge was meant then, and continues to mean | now, a call to a new choice. It asks that you challenge your |
| D:Day4.21 | you have learned led to an inaccurate world-view in the here and | now, but to an inaccurate world-view of the past, of the hereafter, |
| D:Day4.34 | There is a similar type of focus that will serve you | now. It is not a tool, as is meditation, for you are no longer in |
| D:Day4.36 | We acknowledged that your desire is stronger than ever before. | Now is the time to focus on this desire and fulfillment, to stretch |
| D:Day4.42 | Smile with me | now, as you think of yourself in this elevated place. You are still |
| D:Day4.46 | love is. It means that you will resurrect to eternal life here and | now. It means no turning back, no return to fear or anger, no return |
| D:Day4.51 | that you have not moved through the stages to full acceptance answer | now as to what is stopping you. Do you choose to dwell or to accept? |
| D:Day4.52 | not so directly linked fear and the time of learning before, but | now you need to see their connection, for if you do not, you will not |
| D:Day5.1 | than sustain the state of unity. This point of access will thus | now be discussed, both as an initial entry point and as a continued |
| D:Day5.3 | what originates “within” coming from a point beyond the body is not | now too unbelievable to contemplate. |
| D:Day5.6 | What we have focused on for some time | now is love. Love never changes. It thus is the same for each of us. |
| D:Day5.6 | in exactly the same way as another. This is important to remember | now as you begin to work with your access to unity. |
| D:Day5.15 | Realize here that although you are | now a part of a community seeking the same goal, the realization, or |
| D:Day5.17 | Who you are | now, what your desires are, and where your talents have been |
| D:Day5.17 | your talents have been recognized, are as given as the goal you | now desire to realize. Again I remind you that the sameness of union |
| D:Day5.21 | focus on access. Wherever your chosen point of access lies, imagine | now the needle that was discussed as passing through the onion in the |
| D:Day5.21 | intersection connecting with your chosen access point. Imagine this | now, not as a needle but as the wisdom you seek. Imagine this wisdom |
| D:Day5.26 | this is when full access is attained. So we will continue our work | now in releasing you from those things that would still block your |
| D:Day6.1 | We | now will discuss being the true Self while becoming the true Self— |
| D:Day6.11 | between Creator and created. You are being who you are right | now and eliciting the expression that will take you to the final |
| D:Day6.12 | You are not separate | now from who you will be when you reach completion! You are in and |
| D:Day6.13 | Now, in returning to one of the main themes of this chapter—the | |
| D:Day6.20 | I had attained. The temptations of the human experience are the same | now as they were then. They are the same on the mountain top as they |
| D:Day6.29 | Now let’s address this seeming paradox. You have been told to do only | |
| D:Day6.30 | and pass-through. This is it! Right here in your life as it is right | now. |
| D:Day6.31 | pass through you as you allow for and accept where you are right | now and who you are right now. |
| D:Day6.31 | allow for and accept where you are right now and who you are right | now. |
| D:Day6.33 | Let us speak | now of the conditions of the time of acceptance, for these will cheer |
| D:Day7.1 | What does the idea of only | now coming to acceptance imply but that you were previously |
| D:Day7.3 | love. Love is life giving and life supporting. There is thus nothing | now degenerating about life. |
| D:Day7.4 | Life is | now supported. Support is thus a condition of the time of acceptance. |
| D:Day7.5 | You must realize here that the pattern of learning is | now all that is left that can be degenerating to you. While you |
| D:Day7.5 | learning was not one of support but one of effort. You must accept, | now, that the pattern of learning is an extension of fear and be |
| D:Day7.5 | of abundance, you may still feel unsupported in form. Realize | now, that this makes no sense when our goal is the elevation of form. |
| D:Day7.7 | of the time of acceptance that will be of great service to you | now is that of the different relationship that you will have with |
| D:Day7.7 | is replaced by presence, by your ability to exist in the here and | now in acceptance and without fear. |
| D:Day7.10 | and create a new universe. This condition of expansion is operative | now and beginning to find manifestation through the sharing we are |
| D:Day7.18 | And yet what we are concerned about | now is the present. It is here, in this present and given time on the |
| D:Day8.1 | conditions of the time of acceptance may not have cheered you fully. | Now, with the ideas of the conditions of the time of acceptance fresh |
| D:Day8.5 | do not like your job, you have accepted your Self and where you are | now, rather than the external circumstance. We are not, when talking |
| D:Day8.7 | Now you may have been thinking—again, at least subconsciously— | |
| D:Day8.7 | to an ideal self. Yet this ideal self is not the self you are right | now. You cannot accept only an ideal self. This is nonsense. Can you |
| D:Day8.8 | through acceptance of the way you want to be but of the way you are | now. There will be many things within your life that will take some |
| D:Day8.16 | This is the importance | now of accepting yourself in the present and of understanding |
| D:Day8.17 | the lessons of the past or taken these steps toward elevation. | Now, however, it is crucial that you come to acceptance of yourself— |
| D:Day8.21 | Now you must realize that you no longer have cause to fear your | |
| D:Day8.22 | If anger arises in you | now, it does not mean that you will react in whatever way anger once |
| D:Day8.22 | the feeling itself. The feeling is provided by the body, a helpmate | now in your service as a route to true expression. |
| D:Day8.23 | Remember always that we work | now to unite the Self of union with the self of form. The self of |
| D:Day8.23 | of union with the self of form. The self of form cannot be denied | now. This is a continuation of the reversal of some of the ideas of |
| D:Day8.28 | your true Self! To true representation of who you are—who you are | now! |
| D:Day8.30 | I call you | now to embrace this freedom. |
| D:Day9.1 | want, freedom from lack, freedom from repression, are what we will | now enjoy together on our mountain top retreat. We have not removed |
| D:Day9.2 | Allow yourself, | now, to experience your arrival, your return to your true home, your |
| D:Day9.4 | who do not as yet feel the freedom of the new, allow yourself | now, to do so. Allow freedom to reign, for it is your allowance, your |
| D:Day9.4 | your permission, that will make it so. The only one who can stop you | now is yourself. The only permission you ever needed was your own. |
| D:Day9.7 | Realize | now the truth of what you have just heard. While you know you have |
| D:Day9.10 | your mind, no matter what form it takes, is still an image, and must | now be done without if you are going to realize freedom. |
| D:Day9.12 | Realize | now that your ideal image, no matter how it was formed, is a product |
| D:Day9.21 | This desire of “followers” to accept an image is less prevalent | now but still a common danger. |
| D:Day9.24 | your ability to accept that you are your ideal self. Yes, even right | now, with all your seeming imperfections. |
| D:Day9.25 | self. You can only express the beauty and truth of who you are | now, in the present. And you do. You just have not realized that you |
| D:Day9.30 | Now we must return to you the freedom and the will to fan the flames | |
| D:Day9.31 | would long for in a place outside of, or beyond, the self you are | now. |
| D:Day9.32 | is all these are—learning challenges. You seek learning challenges | now only because of the consistency with which you did so in the |
| D:Day9.32 | challenge and so your natural pattern would be to keep going | now, to use the momentum of this learning success to achieve another. |
| D:Day10.2 | See you | now why the certainty of union must be combined with the confidence |
| D:Day10.3 | willingness to experience its cause and its effect. I am asking you | now to be willing to move from conviction to reliance. I am not |
| D:Day10.11 | thought. This lack of trust works both for you and against you | now. It works for you in that you do not have to resist and reject an |
| D:Day10.12 | was the perfect vehicle for learning in the time of learning, it is | now being transformed into the perfect vehicle for the realization of |
| D:Day10.14 | you believe that your feelings have misled you in the past, you | now still doubt your feelings. Because you have doubted yourself in |
| D:Day10.14 | your feelings. Because you have doubted yourself in the past, you | now still look for reassurances and proof that you are “right” before |
| D:Day10.17 | your reliance to me and to the state of unity. This was purposeful. | Now, however, you are asked to return to wholeness, a state in which |
| D:Day10.18 | the distinction between your Self and the man or woman you are. | Now you are called to forget what you have “learned” and to let all |
| D:Day10.20 | ago will aide you in realizing that this is the voice that will | now animate the elevated Self of form, or in other words, you. |
| D:Day10.21 | You can be both/and, rather than either/or. As I speak to you | now as the voice of Christ-consciousness—as your own true Self— |
| D:Day10.27 | reigns and the spirit is free of the body. Yet if you were to think | now of a person whom you know who has died, you would not be likely |
| D:Day10.27 | the elevated Self of form, as not much different than you are | now, but peaceful and free of the constraints of the body. |
| D:Day10.28 | all honesty, think that even in whatever form or lack of form they | now occupy, they do not like it, even now, even beyond the grave? |
| D:Day10.28 | form or lack of form they now occupy, they do not like it, even | now, even beyond the grave? |
| D:Day10.31 | the times in which I lived? Or do you not see that it is the same | now as then? |
| D:Day10.32 | to call for extreme measures. The only extreme measure called for | now is the same extreme measure that I called for during my life. It |
| D:Day10.36 | pursued separately from one another and from God—until recently. | Now unity is being sought and unity is being found. |
| D:Day10.38 | As you can see, it is difficult for me, even | now, even in this final address to you as the man Jesus, to speak of |
| D:Day10.38 | by love and to let all the feelings of love flowing through you | now find their expression. I desire, more than anything, your |
| D:Day10.39 | inheritance. This is the gift of love I came to give and give newly | now, to you. Blessed brother and sister, we feel the same love, the |
| D:Day12.1 | Now we listen to feelings. Now we listen to feelings and understand | |
| D:Day12.1 | Now we listen to feelings. | Now we listen to feelings and understand what they have to say to us. |
| D:Day12.1 | we listen to feelings and understand what they have to say to us. | Now we listen with a new ear, the ear of the heart. Now we recognize |
| D:Day12.1 | to say to us. Now we listen with a new ear, the ear of the heart. | Now we recognize the thoughts that would censor our feelings, calling |
| D:Day12.2 | form but the reverse is true and has always been true. The body is | now ready to know that it is embodied, enclosed, surrounded, taken |
| D:Day12.2 | surrounded, taken up, by consciousness. It is your feelings that | now will be the sense organs of this spaciousness. Not feelings of |
| D:Day12.2 | or touch, but feelings of love of Self. Feelings of love of Self are | now what hold open the space of the Self, allowing the space to be. |
| D:Day12.5 | imaginable. All you must do is listen to your Self. Your Self is | now a feeling, conscious space, unhindered by any obstacles of form. |
| D:Day13.1 | The many selves who have come and gone since the beginning of time | now know themselves as the many and the one, the individual and the |
| D:Day13.1 | This is the knowing in relationship that is available to you | now. |
| D:Day14.1 | healed as well as the sick, the chaos and the peace. Thus we heal | now by calling on wholeness, accepting the healed self’s ability to |
| D:Day14.6 | learning to disclaim all that you have called your “own,” you are | now given the task of claiming your power as your own. All that is |
| D:Day14.7 | to later, is the opposite of the holding within you are asked to do | now because those things that were held in a “holding pattern” were |
| D:Day14.10 | Only | now, in your realization of your invisibility and spaciousness, do |
| D:Day14.12 | are only one means, which is why this is called a dialogue. Realize | now that this is but one voice of the many. You have entered into the |
| D:Day14.13 | You must | now own this dialogue—own it as you own the power that is yours. |
| D:Day15.13 | pool? If not, what prevents you? Do not be too hard on yourself | now, for as has been said, the stones within your pools are like |
| D:Day15.27 | and with all. This fallacy needs to be brought to your attention | now so that as you join in true spaciousness with those coming to |
| D:Day15.28 | becoming self-less but about realizing your true identity. We have | now debunked your myths about your true identity being an idealized |
| D:Day15.28 | myths about your true identity being an idealized form of the self. | Now are you ready, through your ability to view your own Self as well |
| D:Day16.7 | course, a change in what you want to prove to yourself. All you may | now continue to seek proof of is that your feelings, rather than your |
| D:Day17.3 | Why do we return to this | now, repeating what has been said before? Because we have reached the |
| D:Day17.6 | This is why we return | now to your identity and the individuation of your identity. |
| D:Day17.12 | What Jesus represented or demonstrated has | now been realized, which is why this is called the time of Christ. |
| D:Day17.12 | Jesus. What could be taught and learned has been taught and learned. | Now it is time to move beyond what could be taught and learned to |
| D:Day17.12 | and learned to what can only be realized through relationship. | Now is the time of the final revelation of what can be realized, or |
| D:Day18.1 | even while moving into the new as they do so. Each way is as needed | now as it was two thousand years ago. |
| D:Day18.5 | expression of what is within them. They realize that what is needed | now is needed in order to renew or resurrect the world and all who |
| D:Day18.7 | that would aide understanding of the invisible. This is what you are | now called to do. Whether you demonstrate the myth of duality or the |
| D:Day18.9 | that was able to occur to allow for a certain type of experience. | Now a new degree of union is occurring to allow for a new type of |
| D:Day20.1 | Now we begin preparation for your transition to level ground. We | |
| D:Day20.2 | You have realized | now your relationship with the unknown and ceased to fear it. You |
| D:Day20.2 | with the unknown and ceased to fear it. You are, perhaps, even eager | now, to move beyond the known to the unknown. You are perhaps eager |
| D:Day21.4 | means, not the source. The source is oneness or union, a state you | now realize that you share and have access to. |
| D:Day21.6 | You realize | now that life itself is a channel and that you are constantly |
| D:Day21.7 | Now, however, there is no longer an “eventually.” Teacher and learner | |
| D:Day21.7 | thus neither are needed any longer. The “transfer” of knowledge is | now an act of giving and receiving as one. No intermediary is needed |
| D:Day21.9 | consciousness you share in union and relationship with all. You have | now been told to own this dialogue and to realize that its wisdom is |
| D:Day22.1 | to know yourself as channels without the need for these words. | Now we must speak of this, however, for there is a confusion that can |
| D:Day22.8 | This awareness of union with God is what is | now within you awaiting your expression. Awareness of union with God |
| D:Day22.8 | every blowing wind. It is there in each and every human being. It is | now time to quit acting as if it is not. It is time to be a channel |
| D:Day22.9 | what we have been calling Christ-consciousness, but what you call it | now matters not. All the words that have been expressed here, that |
| D:Day22.10 | through which union with God is expressed and made real here and | now. There is no other time. There is no “higher” self waiting to do |
| D:Day23.3 | today we speak of being a carrier. Your instruction has been given. | Now the task before us is to come to understanding of the means by |
| D:Day23.4 | have gently surrounded our time together on the mountain top must | now be surrendered, much as a woman surrenders her body to the growth |
| D:Day24.3 | trigger of nature. It was meant to convey the action of a catalyst. | Now it is up to you whether you allow your true nature to be revealed. |
| D:Day25.1 | Emptiness of mind will | now be something that may seem to plague many of you. Where once the |
| D:Day25.1 | of you. Where once the mind was searching, yearning, questioning, | now it is likely to become still. From the stillness comes its |
| D:Day25.7 | a time of preparation, not a time of waiting. What you need to know | now cannot be gathered except by your own hands. It cannot be sorted |
| D:Day26.3 | Now let’s speak a moment of the Self as guide. This simply means that | |
| D:Day27.1 | Think | now not of being apprehensive in terms of being fearful of the rest |
| D:Day27.5 | This is the quality of the inner-sight you | now will carry with you to level ground because you have practiced |
| D:Day27.6 | and always have been both human and spirit, both form and content. | Now you contain within you the ability to combine both levels of |
| D:Day27.7 | Now you are asked to apprehend—to understand, and to hold within | |
| D:Day27.9 | the joint cornerstones for the biggest revelations yet. All that is | now seen as dualistic in nature can be experienced as different |
| D:Day27.11 | health are each just opposite ends of the same continuum, you can | now see that they are only distinguished by degrees of separation. So |
| D:Day27.16 | wholeness, but the experience of separation. What we are speaking of | now is being able to experience wholeness and the variability of |
| D:Day28.8 | Now something new awaits you. It is a choice so different and a means | |
| D:Day28.15 | these two attitudes, but will find that one is prevalent. You must | now get past all such notions or attitudes. |
| D:Day28.17 | has been based upon what was previously externalized. This is what | now must change, and as can be seen, this change is essential to |
| D:Day28.24 | within your mind much as if you have been following a thread and | now can see the tapestry. This tapestry will bear the mark of your |
| D:Day28.26 | and the thread of the life from which you have not removed yourself. | Now you must begin to weave these two threads together into the |
| D:Day29.2 | by their seeming separation, the spirit and the human self must | now do so also. |
| D:Day29.3 | or remembered wholehearted desire—the source of your power. | Now this power is available to assist you in accomplishing the final |
| D:Day29.4 | and you can accomplish this—in your reality. As you realize by | now, all this talk of accomplishment is merely about bringing forward |
| D:Day30.5 | Now let us consider this in terms of experience. As knower and known | |
| D:Day34.4 | The wholehearted desire that is upon you | now is the desire to know and experience this oneness of being in |
| D:Day34.5 | to leave striving for specialness and differences behind. | Now you need only realize that your wholehearted desire has made it |
| D:Day34.6 | and your experience. This is your life and your experience of life. | Now you must believe that you are its creator and powerful in your |
| D:Day35.7 | an idea of specialness, an idea of accomplishment and union here and | now come to replace all ideas of life after death. |
| D:Day35.16 | for separation produced unawareness of union and relationship. | Now humankind’s desire for union and relationship has led to |
| D:Day36.5 | you created in response to “reality” rather than creating reality. | Now you are called to create reality—a new reality. |
| D:Day36.6 | This is where you begin again. Begin again with the Self you | now know yourself to be. |
| D:Day36.9 | experience. This is starting over with the realization that you are | now the creator of your experience. You have always been creating |
| D:Day36.9 | one in being with God who is endlessly creating. But you are only | now a creator in union and relationship. |
| D:Day36.12 | been given? All the choices in the world save this one before you | now, have made no difference to your state of being. You have just |
| D:Day36.17 | and All in Many. God is still the Creator of All, but God is also | now the Creator of One, the Creator of the experience of one life, or |
| D:Day36.19 | You can see, | now, perhaps, why we have had to build your awareness slowly in order |
| D:Day37.16 | in separation—between your separate self and the separate and | now dead self of the relative. This is not only a relationship in |
| D:Day37.20 | Now let us talk of God. | |
| D:Day38.2 | We have not spoken much recently of love, but | now it is time to return to love. Do you know, can you feel as yet, |
| D:Day38.3 | Now we set aside once again the “we” of Christ-consciousness, of our | |
| D:Day38.4 | your brief contemplation of these feelings that this is behind us | now. Know that we can be known and loved equally for who we are. |
| D:Day38.9 | You are ready | now to return to this ownership, this possession of relationship and |
| D:Day38.10 | as your own is simply to claim possession for your own Self. | Now it is time to see me as your own God as well as God of all. Now |
| D:Day38.10 | Now it is time to see me as your own God as well as God of all. | Now it is time to call me who I Am. |
| D:Day39.2 | It is time | now to come to your own discovery of who I Am to you. No one can give |
| D:Day39.9 | and individuation requires relationship. Thus you must | now accept yourself as Christ, or as the bridge of relationship |
| D:Day39.15 | What must occur | now must occur between you and me. Your willingness is all that is |
| 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 |
| D:Day39.36 | Who Am I to you? Only who you are to yourself. | Now it is time for you to be not who you have been to yourself, but |
| D:Day39.48 | wants to be known in time but can only be known in eternity. You | now are the bridge between time and eternity. |
| D:Day40.8 | have known fear and have been forced to reconcile fear with love. | Now, in coming back to relationship and union with me you have |
| D:Day40.8 | and union with me you have realized that you are not separate and | now have striven against the “opposing” force of separation. With the |
| D:Day40.8 | of separation, for you no longer know it. The creative tension that | now remains in our relationship is the tension of individuation or |
| D:Day40.9 | of time. It is creation in the making. What will be created | now, and the individuation that will occur now, will hold all the |
| D:Day40.9 | What will be created now, and the individuation that will occur | now, will hold all the power of your experience as well as all the |
| D:Day40.12 | You have been being separate—a separate being with attributes. | Now you are being in union and relationship—an individuated being |
| D:Day40.17 | You would perhaps beg to differ | now, and ask of me, “Are you not who you are ‘separately’ from |
| D:Day40.23 | Now, as you recognize, acknowledge, and accept the Christ as the Self | |
| D:Day40.25 | that I am an individual? That I have feelings?” Are you saying this | now, as you contemplate leaving behind who you have been for being |
| D:Day40.31 | the questions, the longing, the doubts that you would have, before | now, called uniquely yours? Has it not spoken to you as if it knows |
| D:Day40.32 | has spoken to me, and I have responded. Love has responded. How, | now, will you respond to love? |
| E.1 | Ah, imagine | now what it will be like to have nothing left to learn, nothing left |
| E.1 | The alchemy has occurred. The coal has become a diamond. Ah, imagine | now being able to forget all ideas of self-improvement, imagine how |
| E.1 | how much time will be saved by this quest coming to an end. But what | now will you do? What now will you be? |
| E.1 | saved by this quest coming to an end. But what now will you do? What | now will you be? |
| E.2 | they will be entirely gone, never to be asked again. Why? Because | now that you are being who you are in unity and relationship, these |
| E.3 | You are in relationship | now only with love, and so nothing will be hard for you. Desire an |
| E.13 | What you “realize” | now you truly “make real” as your being applies love’s extension to |
| E.16 | cooperative relationship of all with everything abides within you | now. You do not, and cannot decide what to do with it, you can only |
| E.19 | Leave these words behind | now, and bring only the dialogue with you. You will unerringly find |
| E.20 | Do not be afraid | now to be who you are. Do not think you need to be something |
| E.21 | that you would consider character flaws or faults, forget about them | now. In being they will be yours or they will not. You will be happy |
| E.24 | when you meet that which would oppose love, remember that you are | now the bridge between this creative tension of opposites becoming |
| E.29 | Be happy that there is no end in sight to this road you travel | now. It is simply the road of what is endlessly creating like unto |
| E.30 | You | now know how to respond to love, for you are love, being. So be it. |
| A.9 | Now you may feel quite compelled to share your experience of the | |
| A.13 | your mind finds difficult to accept, your heart accepts with ease. | Now you are ready to question what you must. Now you are ready to |
| A.13 | accepts with ease. Now you are ready to question what you must. | Now you are ready to hear the answer that arises in your own heart or |
| A.13 | own heart or from the voice of the man or woman sitting next to you. | Now you are ready to hear all the voices around you without judgment, |
| A.13 | so anxious to say what you are thinking that you forget to listen. | Now you are ready to let understanding come without the |
| A.26 | the reader encountered in receiving the Course, but the reader will | now encounter these situations in life. The reader is no longer only |
| A.26 | has extended beyond reading and beyond the classroom situation. | Now a time may come when studying truly seems to be in order. The |
| A.27 | than being in a standard learning situation, what the reader who is | now experiencing life in a new way is doing is attempting to |
| A.31 | Now, despite the rapidity of movement or lack thereof, to read the | |
| A.31 | include more sharing of experiences. The facilitator’s task is | now one of placing these experiences in context. After giving the |
| A.33 | this Course of study that seemed to be working so well for a while | now is letting them down. They may wonder where and when the peace, |
| A.34 | certificates and degrees, admiration, respect, and status, are | now a thing of the past. What individuals may well be looking for is |
| A.34 | were not lasting and that they are not what they would truly want | now. Remind them that the goal is reached in being who they are at |
| A.38 | hearing all that is being spoken in all the ways it is being spoken. | Now is the time to truly begin to “hear” my voice in every aspect of |
| A.41 | The idea of unity and relationship must fully enter you | now. |
| A.43 | What | now will be your relationship to this work that has returned you to |
