Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== 1 Once, you were unaware of what the cause of everything the world appeared to thrust upon you, uninvited and unasked, must really be. ²Of one thing you were sure: Of all the many causes you perceived as bringing pain and suffering to you, your guilt was not among them. ³Nor did you in any way request them for yourself. ⁴This is how all illusions come about. ⁵The one who makes them does not see himself as making them, and their reality does not depend on him. ⁶Whatever cause they have is something quite apart from him, and what he sees is separate from his mind. ⁷He cannot doubt his dreams’ reality because he does not see the part he plays in making them, and making them seem real. ☀️[CE T-27.IX.1] What I see reflects a process in my mind, which starts with my idea of what I want. From there, the mind makes up an image of the things the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find. These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed as real, and guarded as one’s own. (All things I think I see reflect ideas.) ☀️[CE W-325.1:2-4] ²You have set the way I am to go, the role to take, and every step in my appointed path. ³I cannot lose the way. ⁴I can but choose to wander off a while and then return. ⁵Your loving Voice will always call me back and guide my feet aright. (I merely follow for I would not lead.) ☀️[CE W-324.1:2-5] ⁵God’s memory is in our holy minds, which know their oneness and their unity with their Creator. ⁶Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God’s will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but as God created us. ☀️[CE W-WI.11.4:5-6] ⁴His holy will can never be denied, because his Father shines upon his mind and lays before it all the strength and love in earth and Heaven. ⁵I am he to whom all this is given. ⁶I am he in whom the power of my Father’s will abides. (My Father gives all power unto me.) ☀️[CE W-320.1:4-6] 2 Only minds communicate. ²Since the ego cannot obliterate the impulse to communicate, because it is also the impulse to create, it can only try to teach you that the body can both communicate and create, and therefore does not need the mind. ³The ego, then, tries to teach you that the body can act like the mind, and therefore is self-sufficient. ⁴But we have learned that behavior is not the level for either learning or teaching. ⁵This must be so, because you can act in accordance with what you do not believe. ⁶But this will weaken you as a teacher and a learner because, as has been repeatedly emphasized, you teach what you do believe. ⁷An inconsistent lesson will be poorly taught and poorly learned. ⁸If you are teaching both sickness and healing, you are both a poor teacher and a poor learner. ☀️CE T-7.IV.2] 12 Resign now as your own teacher. ²This resignation will not lead to depression. ☀️[CE T-12.VIII.12] ²We have also established the fact that everything involuntary belongs under Christ-control, not yours. ³Under Christ-control, miracles replenish the doer as well as the receiver. ⁴Miracle workers must learn Christ-control to replace their former habits, which did produce scarcity in place of abundance. ⁵From errors of this kind the sense of deprivation isinevitable, but very easily corrected. ☀️[CE T-1.35.6:2-5] 1 I did not understand what makes me free, nor what my freedom is, nor where to look to find it. ²Father, I searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me. ³Now I would guide myself no more, for I have neither made nor understood the way to find my freedom. ⁴But I trust in You. (Father my freedom is in you alone.) ☀️[CE W-321.1:1-4] ⁴And every dream serves only to conceal the Self Which is God’s only Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One Who still abides in Him forever, as He still abides in me. (I can give up but what was never real.) ☀️[CE W-322.1:4] 2 Our Father, Your ideas reflect the truth, and mine apart from Yours but make up dreams. ²Let me behold what only Yours reflect, for Yours and Yours alone establish truth. (All things I think I see reflect ideas.) ☀️[CE W-325.2] 2 And as we pay the debt we owe to truth—a debt which merely is the letting go of self-deceptions and of images we worshipped falsely—truth returns to us in wholeness and in joy. ²We are deceived no longer. ³Love has now returned to our awareness. (I gladly make the “sacrifice” of fear.) ☀️[CE W-323.2:1-3] ⁵You have perceived the ego’s madness and not been made afraid, because you did not choose to share in it. ⁶At times it still deceives you. ⁷Yet in your saner moments, its rantings strike no terror in your heart. ⁸For you have realized that all the gifts it would withdraw from you in rage at your “presumptuous” wish to look within, you do not want. ⁹A few remaining trinkets still seem to shine and catch your eye, yet you would not “sell” Heaven to have them. ☀️[CE T-21.IV.5:5-9] 11 The miracle returns the cause of fear to you who made it. ²But it also shows that, having no effects, it is not cause because the function of causation is to have effects, and where effects are gone there is no cause. ³Thus is the body healed by miracles because they show the mind made sickness, and employed the body to be victim, or effect, of what it made. ⁴But half the lesson will not teach the whole. ⁵The miracle is useless if you learn but that the body can be healed, for this is not the lesson it was sent to teach. ⁶The lesson is the mind was sick that thought the body could be sick; projecting out its guilt caused nothing and had no effects. ☀️[CE T-28.II.10-11] 1 Here is the only “sacrifice” You ask of Your beloved Son: You ask him to give up all suffering, all sense of loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt, and freely let Your love come streaming in to his awareness, healing him of pain and giving him Your Own eternal joy. ☀️[CE W-323.1:1] ²And as illusions go I find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome and in readiness to give God’s ancient messages to me. (I can give up but what was never real.) ☀️[CE W-322.1:2] ⁴Where You established me I still abide. ⁵And all Your attributes abide in me, because it is Your will to have a Son so like his Cause that Cause and Its effect are indistinguishable. ⁶Let me know that I am an effect of You, and so I have the power to create like You. (I am forever an effect of God.) ☀️[CE W-326.1:4-6]35 views -
Week 46, Lessons 313-319, Academy for the Workbook of A Course in Miracles, 11/15/25

Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== 8 The love of God, for a little while, must still be expressed through one body to another. ²That is because the real vision is still so dim. ³Everyone can use his body best by enlarging the perception of others, so they can see the real vision. ⁴This vision is invisible to the physical eye. ⁵The ultimate purpose of the body is to render itself unnecessary. ⁶Learning to do this is the only real reason for its existence. [CE T-1.46.8] ⁴It is impossible… to overlook what you would see, and fail to see what you have chosen to behold. ⁵How surely, therefore, must the real world come to greet the holy sight of anyone who takes the Holy Spirit’s purpose as his goal for seeing. (I see all things as I would have them be.) ☀️[CE W-312.1:4,5] ⁶The purpose of Atonement is to dispel illusions, not to establish them as real and then forgive them. ☀️[CE T-13.XI.6:6] ⁶Good cannot be returned for evil, for forgiveness does not first establish sin and then forgive it. ☀️[CE T-27.II.2:6] 2 The ego does constant battle with the Holy Spirit on the fundamental question of what your function is. ²So does it do constant battle with the Holy Spirit about what your happiness is. ³It is not a two-way battle. ⁴The ego attacks and the Holy Spirit does not respond. ⁵He knows what your function is. ⁶He knows that it is your happiness. 3 Today we will try to go past this wholly meaningless battle, and arrive at the truth about your function. (My happiness and my function are one.) ☀️[CE W-66.2-3] 1 From new perception of the world, there comes a future very different from the past. ²The future now is recognized as but extension of the present. ³Past mistakes can cast no shadows on it, so that fear has lost its idols and its images, and being formless, it has no effects. ⁴Death will not claim the future now, for life is now its goal, and all the needed means are happily provided. (I seek a future different from the past.) ☀️[CE W-314.1:1-4] What is the goal?..... ³At first you see a world which has accepted this as true, projected from a now corrected mind. ⁴And with this holy sight, perception gives a silent blessing and then disappears, its goal accomplished and its mission done. ☀️[CE W-WI.10.1:3-4] ⁴For the reflection of truth draws everyone to truth, and as they enter into it, they leave all reflections behind. ⁵In Heaven, reality is shared and not reflected. ⁶By sharing its reflection here, its truth becomes the only perception which the Son of God accepts. ☀️[CE T-14.X.10:4-6] 2 I have no purpose for today except to look upon a liberated world, set free from all the judgments I have made. ²Father, this is Your will for me today, and therefore it must be my goal as well. ☀️[CE W-312.2] ⁶I am the goal the world is searching for. ☀️[CE W-318.1:6] 2 Father, Your will is total, and the goal that stems from it shares its totality. ²What aim but the salvation of the world could You have given me? ☀️[CE W-319.2:1-2] 1 To perceive truly is to be aware of all reality through the awareness of your own. ²But for this, no illusions can rise to meet your sight, for all reality leaves no room for any error. ³This means that you perceive a brother only as you see him now. ⁴His past has no reality in the present, and you cannot see it. ⁵Your past reactions to him are also not there, and if it is to these that you react now, you see but an image of him that you made and cherish instead of him. ⁶In your questioning of delusions, ask yourself if it is really sane to perceive what was now. ⁷If you remember the past as you look upon him, you will be unable to perceive the reality that is now. ☀️ [CE T-13.VI.1] What is the means?...... 1 Father, there is a vision which beholds all things as sinless, so that fear has gone, and where it was is love invited in… ⁴Brother, come and join with me today. ⁵We save the world when we are joined. ⁶For in our vision it becomes as holy as the light in us. (Now let a new perception come to me.) ☀️[CE W-313.1,2] 2 Father, I would accept Your gifts today. ²I do not recognize them. ³Yet I trust that You Who gave them will provide the means by which I can behold them, see their worth, and cherish only them as what I want. (All gifts I give my brother are my own.) ☀️[CE W-316.2] ⁴I am the means by which God’s Son is saved, because salvation’s purpose is to find the sinlessness that God has placed in me. ⁵I was created as the thing I seek. ⁶I am the goal the world is searching for. (In me salvation’s means and end are one.) ☀️[CE W-318.1:4-6] 1 A miracle is a service. ²It is the maximal service one person can render another. ³It is thus a way of loving your neighbor as yourself. ⁴The doer recognizes his own and his neighbor’s inestimable value simultaneously. 2 This is why you cannot keep anything you hold against another. ²If you do, your own value is no longer inestimable, because you are estimating it as infinity minus that amount. ☀️[CE T-1.18.1-2] 2 I thank You, Father, for the many gifts that come to me today and every day from every Son of God. ²My brothers are unlimited in all their gifts to me. (All gifts my brothers give belong to me.) ☀️[CE W-315.2:1-2] 1 As every gift my brothers give is mine, so every gift I give belongs to me. ²Each one allows a past mistake to go, and leave no shadow on the holy mind my Father loves. ³His grace is given me in every gift a brother has received throughout all time and past all time as well. (All gifts I give my brothers are my own.) ☀️[CE [W-316:1] (2:1-2) The final judgment on the world contains no condemnation. For it sees the world as totally forgiven, without sin and wholly purposeless. This refers to the Son of God who is outside the dream. He sees no condemnation in the world because he realizes there is no world. He looks on figures in the dream, and says: “What is there to condemn?” He is like an adult looking at the toy soldiers with which a child plays—some have been defeated, others are triumphant; some are good, others bad. Yet the adult does not share these perceptions and judgments because they are make believe. The child may believe he is involved in something serious, but the adult knows it is fantasy. That is the case when we forgive, and is the meaning of the Last Judgment that ends fear and condemnation. ☀️Ken Wapnick54 views 1 comment -
Week 45, Lessons 306-312, Academy for the Workbook of A Course in Miracles, 11/8/25

Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== 26 Every aspect of fear proceeds from upside-down perception. ²The truly creative devote their efforts to correcting this. ³The neurotic devotes his to compromise. ⁴The psychotic tries to escape by establishing the truth of his own errors. ⁵It is most difficult to free him by ordinary means only because he is more stable in his denial of truth. ☀️[CE T-1.48.26] ⁴Irrational thought is a thought disorder. ⁵God Himself orders your thought, because your thought was created by Him. ⁶Guilt feelings are always a sign that you do not know this. ⁷They also show that you believe you can think apart from God, and want to. ☀️[CE T-5.VI.12:4-7] 4 Fear has made everything you think you see: all separation, all distinctions, and the multitude of differences you believe make up the world. ²They are not there. ³Love’s enemy has made them up. ⁴Yet love can have no enemy, and so they have no cause, no being, and no consequence. ⁵They can be valued, but remain unreal. ⁶They can be sought, but they cannot be found. ☀️[CE W-130.4-5] 1 Judgment was made to be a weapon used against the truth. ²It separates what it is being used against, and sets it off as if it were a thing apart. ³And then it makes of it what you would have it be. (I judge all things as I would have them be.) ☀️[CE W-311.1:1-3] This space you lay between all things to which you give a different name, all happenings in terms of place and time, all bodies which are greeted with a name. 2 This space you see as setting off all things from one another is the means by which the world’s perception is achieved. ²You see something where nothing is, and see as well nothing where there is unity; a space between all things, and between all things and you. ³Thus do you think that you are given life in separation. ⁴By this split you think you are established as a unity which functions with an independent will. ☀️[CE W-184.1-2] ⁴To look within is but to find my will as God created it and as it is. ⁵I fear to look within because I think I made another will which is not true, and made it real. ⁶Yet it has no effects. ⁷Within me is the holiness of God. ⁸Within me is the memory of Him. (I will not fear to look within today.) ☀️[CE W-309.1:4-8] ²Today I can forget the world I made. ³Today I can go past all fear and be restored to love and holiness and peace… ⁴Today I am redeemed, and born anew into a world of mercy and of care, of loving-kindness and the peace of God. ☀️[CE W-306.1:2-4] 2 I have no purpose for today except to look upon a liberated world, set free from all the judgments I have made. ²Father, this is Your will for me today, and therefore it must be my goal as well. ☀️[CE W-312.2] 18 My role is only to unchain your will and make it free. ²Your ego cannot accept this freedom, and will oppose your free decision at every possible moment and in every possible way. ³And as its maker, you know what it can do, because you gave it the ability to do it. ⁴The mind does indeed know its own power, because the mind does indeed know God. ☀️[CE T-5.VI.18] 1 Father, Your will is mine, and only that. ²There is no other will for me to have. ³Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. (Conflicting wishes cannot be my will.) ☀️[CE W-307.1:1-3] ⁵If I would have what only You can give, I must accept Your will for me and enter into peace where conflict is impossible… ☀️[CE W-307.1:5] Judgment is time 1 I have conceived of time in such a way that I defeat my aim. ☀️[CE [W-308:1.1] 1 Judgment was made to be a weapon used against the truth. ☀️[CE W-311.1:1] 1 Perception follows judgment. ²Having judged, you therefore see what you would look upon. ³For vision merely serves to offer you what you would have. ☀️[CE W-312.1:1-3] ³When you have learned to look upon everyone with no reference at all to the past, either his or yours as you perceived it, you will be able to learn from what you see now. ☀️[CE T-13.VI.2] ⁷Those who are called on to witness for me now are witnessing for all men, as I am. ☀️[CE T-1.48.6:7] Remember the Kingdom always, and remember that you who are part of it cannot be lost.☀️[CE T-5.VI.19.1] ²If I elect to reach past time to timelessness, I must change my perception of what time is for. ³Time’s purpose cannot be to keep the past and future one. ⁴The only interval in which I can be saved from time is now, for in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. ⁵The birth of Christ is now, without a past or future. ⁶He has come to give His present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love. ⁷And love is ever-present, here and now. (This instant is the only time there is.) ☀️[CE [W-308:1] ⁵Because your will is free you can accept what has already happened at any time you choose, and only then will you realize that it was always there. ⁶As the course emphasizes, you are not free to choose the curriculum or even the form in which you will learn it. ⁷You are free, however, to decide when you want to learn it. ⁸And as you accept it, it is already learned. ☀️[CE M-2.3:5-8]31 views 1 comment -

Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== 10 Do not seek vision through your eyes, for you made your way of seeing that you might see in darkness, and in this you are deceived. ☀️[CE T-13.V.10:1-2] 4 You have been wrong about the world, because you have misjudged yourself. ²From such a twisted reference point, what could you see? ³All vision starts with the perceiver, who judges what is true and what is false. ⁴And what he judges false he does not see. ⁵You who would judge reality cannot see it, for whenever judgment enters, reality has slipped away. ⁶The out of mind is out of sight, because what is denied is there but is not recognized. ⁷Christ is still there, although you know Him not. ⁸His being does not depend upon your recognition. ⁹He lives within you in the quiet present, and waits for you to leave the past behind and enter into the world He holds out to you in love. [CE T-13.VII.4] ³Yet it is up to us when this is reached; how long we let an alien will appear to be opposing His. ⁴And while we think this will is real, we will not find the end He has appointed as the outcome of all problems we perceive, all trials we see, and every situation that we meet. (A happy outcome to all things is sure.) ☀️[CE W-292.1:3-4] 2 Father, let not Your holy world escape my sight today. ²Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the world is singing underneath the sounds of fear. ³There is a real world which the present holds safe from all past mistakes. ⁴And I would see only this world before my eyes today. (All fear is past and only love is here.) ☀️[CE W-293.2] ²All that intruded on my holy sight forgiveness takes away, and I draw near the end of senseless journeys, mad careers, and artificial values. ☀️[CE W-298.1:2] 1 Forgiveness is the only gift I give, because it is the only gift I want, and everything I give I give myself. ²This is salvation’s simple formula. ³And I who would be saved would make it mine, to be the way I live within a world that needs salvation, and that will be saved as I accept Atonement for myself. ☀️[CE W-297.1] ⁴The world it [self-forgiveness] sees arises from a mind at peace within itself. ⁵No danger lurks in anything it sees, for it is kind, and only kindness does it look upon. ☀️[CE W-WI.8.3:4-5] ³I would be savior to the world I made. ⁴For having damned it, I would set it free, that I may find escape and hear the Word Your holy Voice will speak to me today. ☀️[CE W-296.1:3-4] ⁵In this world’s concepts are the guilty “bad”; the “good” are innocent. ⁶And no one here but holds a concept of himself in which he counts the “good” to pardon him the “bad.” ⁷Nor does he trust the “good” in anyone, believing that the “bad” must lurk behind. 2 This concept emphasizes treachery, and trust becomes impossible. ²Nor could it change while you perceive the “bad” in you, nor could your “evil” thoughts be recognized as long as you see value in attack. ³You will perceive them sometimes, but will not see them as meaningless. ☀️[CE T-31.VII.1-2] 1 The real world is a symbol, like the rest of what perception offers. ²Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you made. ☀️[CE W-WI.8.1:1-2] 2 My body, Father, cannot be Your Son, and what is not created cannot be sinful or sinless, neither good nor bad. ²Let me, then, use this dream to help Your plan that we awaken from all dreams we made. (My body is a wholly neutral thing.) ☀️[CE W-294.2] Illusions about yourself and the world are one. That is why all forgiveness is a gift to yourself.L.62 ²His sight shows me all things forgiven and at peace, and offers this same vision to the world. ³And I accept this vision in its name, both for myself and for the world as well. (This is a day of stillness and of peace.) ☀️[CE [W-291:1] ⁵As I am saved, the world is saved with me, for all of us must be redeemed together. ⁶Fear appears in many different forms, but love is one. (The Holy Spirit looks through me today.) ☀️[CE [W-295:1] 5 No one asleep and dreaming in the world remembers his attack upon himself. ²No one believes there really was a time when he knew nothing of a body, and could never have conceived this world as real. ³He would have seen at once that these ideas are one illusion, too ridiculous for anything but to be laughed away. How serious they now appear to be! And no one can remember when they would have met with laughter and with disbelief. We can remember this, if we but look directly at their cause. And we will see the grounds for laughter, not a cause for fear. Let us return the dream he gave away unto the dreamer, who perceives the dream as separate from himself and done to him. ☀️[CE T-27.X.5] Deepening theme: Recognize the cause of suffering is within you and that cause is past and gone. …you are not trapped in the world you see, because its cause can be changed. ☀️[CE W-23.5:1] 1 All fear is past because its source is gone, and all its thoughts went with it. ²Love remains the only present state, whose Source is here forever and forever. (All fear is past and only love is here.) ☀️[CE [W-293:1] Lesson 297. Forgiveness is the only gift I give. ☀️(The only gift I can give.)144 views -

Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== 1 Each day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me. ☀️[CE W-271.1:1] (Christ’s is the vision I will use today.) ²And if we hear temptation call to us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn away and ask ourselves if we, the Sons of God, could be content with dreams, when Heaven can be chosen just as easily as hell, and love will happily replace all fear. ☀️[CE W-272.2:2] (How can illusions satisfy God’s Son?) ³If we give way to a disturbance, let us learn how to dismiss it and return to peace. ☀️[CE W-273.1:1-3] (The stillness of the peace of God is mine.) 2 Let us not worship idols, nor believe in any laws idolatry would make to hide the freedom of the Son of God. ²He is not bound except by his beliefs. ☀️[CE W-277.2:1-2] (Let me not bind your Son with Laws I made.) 4 There can be no salvation in the dream as you are dreaming it. ²For idols must be part of it, to save you from what you believe you have accomplished, and have done to make you sinful and put out the light within you. ☀️[CE T-29.X.4:1-2] 6 There is a time when childhood should be passed and gone forever. ²Seek not to retain the toys of children. ³Put them all away, for you have need of them no more. ⁴The dream of judgment is a children’s game in which the child becomes the father—powerful, but with the little wisdom of the child. ⁵What hurts him is destroyed; what helps him, blessed. ⁶Except he judges this as does a child, who does not know what hurts and what will heal. ⁷And bad things seem to happen, and he is afraid of all the chaos in a world he thinks is governed by the laws he made. ⁸Yet is the real world unaffected by the world he thinks is real, nor have its laws been changed because he did not understand. ☀️[CE T-29.X.6] I will not use the body’s eyes today. [CE W-270:1] ²Today I choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God’s Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is true in God’s creation. ☀️[CE W-271.1:2] 1 What is the Word of God? “My Son is pure, and holy as Myself.” ☀️[CE W-276.1:1-2 …attend the Voice of God… ☀️[CE W-275.1:1] 8 Forgiving dreams have little need to last. ²They are not made to separate the mind from what it thinks. ³They do not seek to prove the dream is being dreamed by someone else. ⁴And in these dreams a melody is heard which everyone remembers, though he has not heard it since before all time began. ⁵Forgiveness, once complete, brings timelessness so close the song of Heaven can be heard, not with the ears, but with the holiness that never left the altar which abides forever deep within the Son of God. ⁶And when he hears this song again, he knows he never heard it not. ⁷And where is time when dreams of judgment have been put away? ☀️[CE T-29.X.8] ³Join me in hearing. ⁴For the Voice of God tells us of things we cannot understand alone, nor learn apart. ⁵It is in this that all things are protected, and in this the healing of the Voice of God is found ☀️[CE W-275.1:3-5] (God’s healing Voice protects all things.) 11 Hear only this through the Holy Spirit within you, and teach your brothers to listen as I am teaching you. ²When you are tempted by the wrong voice, call on me to remind you how to heal by sharing my decision and making it stronger. ³As we share this goal, we increase its power to attract the whole Sonship and to bring it back into the oneness in which it was created. ☀️[CE T-5.III.11:1-3] 2 Father, Your Word is mine. ²And it is this that I would speak to all my brothers, who are given me to cherish as my own, as I am loved and blessed and saved by You. ☀️[CE W-276.2] (The Word of God is Given me to Speak.)215 views 1 comment -

[CE W-265.1:3] 4 There is another Maker of the world, the simultaneous Corrector of the mad belief that anything could be established and maintained without some link that kept it still within the laws of God; not as the law itself upholds the universe as God created it, but in some form adapted to the need the Son of God believes he has. ☀️[CE T-25.III.4:1] I am surrounded by by the Love of God. ….In You time disappears, and place becomes a meaningless belief. ⁴For what surrounds Your Son and keeps him safe is love itself. ⁵There is no source but this, and nothing is that does not share its holiness; that stands beyond Your one creation or without the love which holds all things within itself. ☀️[CE W-264.1:3-5] Creation’s gentleness is all I see. ⁷What is reflected here is in God’s Mind. ⁸The images I see reflect my thoughts. ⁹Yet is my mind at one with God’s. ¹⁰And so I can perceive creation’s gentleness. ☀️[CE W-265.1:7-10]171 views -

Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== 4 Forgiveness, on the other hand, is still, and quietly does nothing. ²It offends no aspect of reality, nor seeks to twist it to appearances it likes. ³It merely looks and waits and judges not. ☀️[CE W-WI.1.4:1-3] 3 Salvation is undoing in the sense that it does nothing, failing to support the world of dreams and malice. ²Thus it lets illusions go. ³By not supporting them, it merely lets them quietly go down to dust. ☀️[CE W-WI.2.3:1-3] 4 As sight was made to lead away from truth, it can be redirected. ²Sounds become the call of God. ³And all perception can be given a new purpose by the One Whom God appointed Savior to the world. ☀️[CE W-WI.3.4:1-3] ⁴And now the body serves a different aim for striving. ⁵What it seeks for now is chosen by the aim the mind has taken as replacement for the goal of self-deception. ⁶Truth can be its aim as well as lies. ⁷The senses then will seek instead the witnesses to what is true. ☀️[CE W-WI.4.2] ⁴Made to be fearful, must the body serve the purpose given it. ⁵But we can change the purpose which the body will obey by changing what we think that it is for… 4 The body is the means by which God’s Son returns to sanity. ²Though it was made to fence him into hell without escape, yet has the goal of Heaven been exchanged for the pursuit of hell. ☀️[CE W-WI.5.3-4] Let me remember what my purpose is. 1 If I forget my goal, I can be but confused, unsure of what I want, and thus conflicted in my actions. ²No one can serve contradicting goals and serve them well. ³Nor can he function without deep distress and great depression. ⁴Let us therefore be determined to remember what we want today, that we may unify our thoughts and actions meaningfully and achieve only what God would have us do this day. ☀️[CE [W-257:1] Let me remember that my goal is God. 1 All that is needful is to train our minds to overlook all little, senseless aims, and to remember that our goal is God. ☀️[CE W-258.1:1] Let me remember God created me. 1 Father, I did not make myself, although in my insanity I thought I did. ²Yet as Your thought, I have not left my Source, remaining part of What created me. ☀️[CE [W-260:1] 2 The past is the ego’s chief learning device, for it is in the past that you learned to define your own needs and acquired methods for meeting them on your own terms. ²We said before that to limit love to part of the Sonship is to bring guilt into your relationships, and thus make them unreal. ³If you seek to separate out certain aspects of the totality and look to them to meet your imagined needs, you are attempting to use separation to save you. ⁴How, then, could guilt not enter? ⁵For separation is the source of guilt, and to appeal to it for salvation is to believe you are alone. ☀️[CE T-15.V.2] ³Let me today seek not security in danger, nor attempt to find my peace in murderous attack. ⁴I live in God. ⁵In Him I find my refuge and my strength. ⁶In Him is my identity. ☀️[CE W-261.1:1-6] 1 I sought for many things and found despair. ²Now do I seek but one, for in that one is all I need and only what I need. ³All that I sought before I needed not and did not even want. ⁴My only need I did not recognize. [CE ☀️W-251.1:1-4] Let me remember that there is no sin. 2 Father, I would not be insane today. ²I would not be afraid of love, nor seek for refuge in its opposite. ³For love can have no opposite. ☀️[CE W-259.2:1-3] 2 Let me not seek for idols. ²I would come, my Father, home to You today. ³I choose to be as You created me and find the Son whom You created as my Self. ☀️[CE W-261.2] The Meaning of Love 1 The holy instant is the Holy Spirit’s most useful learning device for teaching you love’s meaning,… for its purpose is to suspend judgment entirely. ²Judgment always rests on the past, for past experience is the basis on which you judge. ³Judgment becomes impossible without the past, for without it you do not understand anything. ⁴You would make no attempt to judge, because it would be quite apparent to you that you do not know what anything means. ⁵You are afraid of this, because you believe that without the ego all would be chaos. ⁶Yet I assure you that without the ego all would be love. ☀️[CE [T-15.V:1]60 views -

Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== Let me not try to obscure the holy light in him and see his strength diminished and reduced to frailty, nor perceive the lacks in him with which I would attack his sovereignty. ☀️[CE W-250.1:2] ³Its love is limitless, with an intensity which holds all things within it, in the calm of quiet certainty. ⁴Its strength comes not from burning impulses which move this world, but from the boundless love of God Himself. ☀️[CE W-252.1:3-4] 2 Today we let no ego thoughts direct our words or actions. ²When such thoughts occur, we quietly step back and look at them, and then we let them go. ³We do not want what they would bring with them, and so we do not choose to keep them. ⁴They are silent now. ☀️[CE W-254.2:1-4] ²In deepest silence I would come to You, to hear Your Voice and to receive Your Word. ☀️[CE W-254.1:2-3] ⁴Love is your power, which the ego must deny. ☀️[CE T-7.V.5:4] 8 The Atonement cannot be understood except as a pure act of sharing. ²That is what was meant when we said that it is possible even in this world to listen to one Voice. ☀️[CE T-5.V.8:1-2] 9 You cannot be your guide to miracles, for it is you who made them necessary. ²And because you did, the means on which you can depend for miracles has been provided for you. ³God’s Son can make no needs His Father will not meet, if he but turn to Him ever so little. ☀️[CE T-14.XII.9:1-3] 8 The Atonement cannot be understood except as a pure act of sharing. ²That is what was meant when we said that it is possible even in this world to listen to one Voice. ☀️[CE T-5.V.8:1-2] 9 You cannot be your guide to miracles, for it is you who made them necessary. ²And because you did, the means on which you can depend for miracles has been provided for you. ³God’s Son can make no needs His Father will not meet, if he but turn to Him ever so little. ☀️[CE T-14.XII.9:1-3] 8 The Atonement cannot be understood except as a

so little. ☀️[CE T-14.XII.9:1-3] I rule my mind, which I alone must rule. 1 I have a kingdom I must rule. ²At times, it does not seem I am its king at all. ³It seems to triumph over me, and tell me what to think and what to do and feel. ⁴And yet it has been given me to serve whatever purpose I perceive in it. ⁵My mind can only serve. ⁶Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit, to employ as He sees fit. ☀️[CE [W-236:1] 15 I have told you several times that I am in charge of the whole Atonement. ²This is only because I completed my part in it as a man and can now complete it through others. ³My chosen receiving and sending channels cannot fail, because I will lend them my strength as long as theirs is wanting. ⁴I will go with you to the Holy One, and through my perception He can bridge the little gap. ⁵Your gratitude to your brother is the only gift I want. ⁶I will bring it to God for you, knowing that to know your brother is to know God… 17 Because you are all the Kingdom of God, I can lead you back to your own creations, which you do not yet know. ²God has kept them very safe in His knowing while your attention has wandered. ³What has been dissociated is still there. ☀️[CE T-4.VIII.15-17] My Self is ruler of the universe. 1 It is impossible that anything should come to me unbidden by myself. ²Even in this world it is I who rule my destiny. ³What happens is what I desire. ⁴What does not occur is what I do not want to happen. ⁵This must I accept. ⁶For thus am I led past this world to my creations, children of my will, in Heaven where my holy Self abides with them and Him Who has created me. ☀️[CE W-253.1:6] 2 The body is the instrument the mind made in its striving to deceive itself. ²Its purpose is to strive. ³Yet can the goal of striving change. ⁴And now the body serves a different aim for striving. ⁵What it seeks for now is chosen by the aim the mind has taken as replacement for the goal of self-deception. ☀️ [CE W-WI.4.2:1-5] ³All that I sought before I needed not and did not even want. ⁴My only need I did not recognize. ⁵But now I see that I need only truth. ⁶In that, all needs are satisfied, all cravings end, all hopes are finally fulfilled, and dreams are gone. ☀️[CE W-251.1:3-6] 2 It is indeed a senseless point of view to hold responsible for sight a thing that cannot see, and blame it for the sounds you do not like, although it cannot hear. ²It suffers not the punishment you give, because it has no feeling. ³It behaves in ways you want, but never makes the choice. ⁴It is not born and does not die. ⁵It can but follow aimlessly the path on which it has been set. ⁶And if that path is changed, it walks as easily another way. ⁷It takes no sides and judges not the road it travels. ⁸It perceives no gap because it does not hate. ⁹It can be used for hate, but it cannot be hateful made thereby. 3 The thing you hate and fear and loathe and want, the body does not know. ²You send it forth to seek for separation and be separate. ³And then you hate it, not for what it is, but for the uses you have made of it. ☀️[CE T-28.VI.2-4]50 views 1 comment -

Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== 1 The world is false perception. ²It is born of error, and it has not left its source. ³It will remain no longer than the thought that gave it birth is cherished. [CE W-WI.3.1] 1 Your Son is safe wherever he may be, for You are there with him. ²He need but call upon Your Name, and he will recollect his safety and Your love, for they are one. [CE W-244.1:1-2] Today I will judge nothing that occurs. ³I will not think I understand the whole from bits of my perception, which are all that I can see. [CE W-243.1:3] 6 This world is causeless, as is every dream that anyone has dreamed within the world. ²No plans are possible, and no design exists that could be found and understood. ³What else could be expected from a thing that has no cause? ⁴But if it has no cause, it has no purpose. ⁵You may cause a dream, but never will you give it real effects. ⁶For that would change its cause, and it is this you cannot do. ⁷The dreamer of a dream is not awake, but does not know he sleeps. ⁸He sees illusions of himself as sick or well, depressed or happy, but without a stable cause with guaranteed effects. 7 The miracle establishes you dream a dream and that its content is not true. [CE T-28.II.6-7] ⁷Now I disown self-concepts and deceits and lies about the holy Son of God. ⁸Now am I ready to accept him back as God created him and as he is. [CE W-248.1:7-8] Whatever suffers is not part of me. 1 I have disowned the truth. ²Now let me be as faithful in disowning falsity. ³Whatever suffers is not part of me. ⁴What grieves is not myself. ⁵What is in pain is but illusion in my mind. [CE W-248.1] Your peace is with me Father. I am safe. 1 Your peace surrounds me, Father. ²Where I go, Your peace goes there with me. ³It sheds its light on everyone I meet. [CE W-245.1:1-3] ²Anyone who is unable to leave the requests of others unanswered has not entirely transcended egocentricity. ³I never “gave of myself” in this inappropriate way, nor would I ever encourage you to do so. ☀️[CE T-3.III.13:2-3] 4 If you ask me for guidance, you have signified your willingness to give over your own control, at least to some extent. ²Your frequent failure to ask at all indicates that at such times you are not willing to go even that far. ³Failure to ask for guidance is a sign of fear. ⁴But when you at least ask, you are acting on a cooperative thought, even though it may not lack ambivalence. ⁵You are therefore entitled to a specific answer, but unless you follow it without judging it, you will become defensive about the next steps which you will take. 5 You should be confident that any guidance which comes from me will not jeopardize anyone. ²If you can continue not to evaluate my messages and merely follow them, they will lead to good for everyone. ☀️[CE T-4.IX.4-5] To love my Father is to love His Son. 1 Let me not think that I can find the way to God if I have hatred in my heart. ☀️[CE W-246.1:1] ⁷If your brothers are part of you and you blame them for your deprivation, you are blaming yourself. ⁸And you cannot blame yourself without blaming them. 5 That is why blame must be undone, not reallocated. ²Lay it to yourself and you cannot know yourself, for only the ego blames at all. ³Self-blame is therefore ego-identification, and as strong an ego defense as blaming others. ⁴You cannot enter God’s presence if you attack His Son. ☀️[CE T-11.IV.4-5] Without forgiveness I will still be blind. 1 Sin is the symbol of attack. ²Behold it anywhere, and I will suffer. ³For forgiveness is the only means whereby Christ’s vision comes to me. ☀️[CE W-247.1] 18 Do not allow yourself to suffer from the results of what is not true. ²Free your mind from the belief that this is possible. ³In its complete impossibility, and your full awareness of its complete impossibility, lies your only hope for release. ⁴But what other hope would you want? ⁵Freedom from illusions lies only in not believing them. ⁶Where are they without your belief? ⁷There is no attack, but there is unlimited communication and therefore unlimited power and wholeness. ⁸The power of wholeness is extension. ⁹Do not arrest your thought in this world, and you will open your mind to creation in God. ☀️[CE T-8.VI.18] ⁴The Holy Spirit begins by perceiving you as perfect. ⁵Knowing this perfection is shared, He recognizes it in others, thus strengthening it in both. ⁶Instead of anger, this arouses love for both because it establishes inclusion. ⁷Perceiving equality, He perceives equal needs. ⁸This invites Atonement automatically, because Atonement is the one need which is universal. …⁴You cannot be anywhere that God did not put you, and God created you as part of Him. ⁵That is both where you are and what you are. ⁶This is completely unalterable. ⁷It is total inclusion. ⁸You cannot change this now or ever. ⁹It is forever true. ¹⁰It is not a belief, but a fact. ¹¹Anything that God creates is as true as He is. ¹²Its truth lies only in its perfect inclusion in Him Who alone is perfect. ¹³To deny this in any way is to deny yourself and Him, because it is impossible to accept one without the other. ☀️[CE T-6.II.6-7] ³Let me not fail to recognize myself and still believe that my awareness can contain my Father, or my mind conceive of all the love my Father has for me and all the love which I return to Him. ☀️[CE W-246.1:3]59 views 1 comment -

Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] ================================ On my decision all salvation rests. 1 Father, Your trust in me has been so great, I must be worthy. ²You created me, and know me as I am. ³And yet You placed Your Son’s salvation in my hands and let it rest on my decision. ⁴I must be beloved of You indeed. ☀️[CE [W-238:1] The glory of my Father is my own. 1 Let not the truth about ourselves today be hidden by a false humility. ²Let us instead be thankful for the gifts our Father gave us. ☀️[CE W-239.1:1-2] I rule my mind, which I alone must rule. 1 I have a kingdom I must rule. ²At times, it does not seem I am its king at all. ³It seems to triumph over me, and tell me what to think and what to do and feel. ⁴And yet it has been given me to serve whatever purpose I perceive in it. ⁵My mind can only serve. ⁶Today I give its service to the Holy Spirit, to employ as He sees fit. ☀️[CE [W-236:1] 3 It is impossible the Son of God be merely driven by events outside him. ²It is impossible that the happenings that come to him were not his choice. ³His power of decision is the determiner of every situation in which he seems to find himself by chance or accident. ⁴No accident or chance is possible within the universe as God created it, outside of which is nothing. ⁵Suffer, and you decided sin was your goal. ⁶Be happy, and you gave the power of decision to Him Who must decide for God for you. ⁷This is the little gift you offer to the Holy Spirit, and even this He gave to you to give yourself. ⁸For by this gift is given you the power to release your savior, that he may give salvation unto you. ☀️CE T-21.II.3] 4 Whenever you are afraid, it is a sure sign that you have allowed your mind to miscreate; that is, you have not allowed me to guide it. ²It is pointless to believe that controlling the outcome of misthought can result in real healing. ☀️[CE T-2.IX.4:1-2] ⁶You are much too tolerant of mind wandering, thus tacitly condoning your mind’s miscreations. ⁷The particular result never matters, but this fundamental error does. ⁸The fundamental correction is always the same. ⁹Before you will to do anything, ask me if your will is in accord with mine. ¹⁰If you are sure that it is, there will be no fear. ☀️[CE T-2.IX.5:6-10] 10 If you attack another’s error, you will hurt yourself. ²You do not recognize him when you attack. ³Attack is always made on a stranger. ⁴You are making him a stranger by misperceiving him, so that you cannot know him. ⁵It is because you have made him into a stranger that you are afraid of him. ⁶What is he to you? ⁷He is your brother. ⁸What else do you need to know? ⁹But do know that. ¹⁰This is not a matter of perception but a fact. ¹¹Perceive him correctly, so that you can know him. ¹²The prayer for the miracle is: ¹³Jesus, help me see my brother [name] as he really is, and thus release both him and me. ¹⁴Anytime there is anything unloving that crosses your mind, you should immediately recognize that you do not want to hurt your brother. ☀️[CE T-3.V.10] 1 Fear is deception. ²It attests that you have seen yourself as you could never be, and therefore look upon a world which is impossible. ³Not one thing in this world is true. ⁴It does not matter what the form in which it may appear. ☀️[CE W-240.1:1-4] ³Their aim [of the physical senses] is to fulfill the purpose which the world was made to witness and make real. ⁴They see in its illusions but a solid base where truth exists, upheld apart from lies. ⁵Yet everything which they report is but illusion which is kept apart from truth. ☀️[CE W-WI.3.3:3-5] ³I bring the world the tidings of salvation that I hear as God my Father speaks to me. ⁴And I behold the world that Christ would have me see, aware it ends the bitter dream of death, aware it is my Father’s call to me. ☀️[CE W-237.1:3-4]52 views
