[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]

[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]

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

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] 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]

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]

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]

³Can it be up to you to see the past and put it in the present? ⁴You cannot go back. ⁵And everything that points the way in the direction of the past but sets you on a mission whose accomplishment can only be unreal. ☀️[CE T-26.V.8:1-5] 9 This course will teach you only what is now. ²A dreadful instant in a distant past, now perfectly corrected, is of no concern or value. ³Let the dead and gone be peacefully forgotten. ⁴Resurrection has come to take its place. ⁵And now you are a part of resurrection, not of death. ⁶No past illusions have the power to keep you in a place of death, a vault God’s Son entered an instant to be instantly restored unto His Father’s perfect love. ⁷And how can he be kept in chains long since removed and gone forever from his mind? ⁸The Son that God created is as free as God created him. ⁹He was reborn the instant that he chose to die instead of live. ¹⁰And will you not forgive him now because he made an error in a past that God remembers not and is not there?

[CE W-228.1:3-4] ³I am sure that He will speak to you, and you will hear. ⁴Accept my confidence, for it is yours. ⁵Our minds are joined. [CE W-221.2:3-5] 2 Our Father, let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes, for we who are Your holy Son are sinless. [CE W-223.2:1] 2 Brother, we find that stillness now. ²The way is open. ³Now we follow it in peace together. ⁴You have reached your hand to me, and I will never leave you. ⁵We are one, and it is but this oneness that we seek [CE W-225.2] Part 1 There is one life, and that I share with God. [CE W-167:1] Part 11 God is my life. I have no life but Him. [CE W-223:1] 1 I was mistaken when I thought I lived apart from God, a separate entity which moved in isolation, unattached, and housed within a body. ²Now I know my life is God, I have no other home, and I do not exist apart from Him. ³He has no thoughts that are not part of me, and I have none but those which are of Him. [CE W-223.1] ³Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists. [CE W-227.1:3] 2 As long as you think you know [perception’s] meaning, you will see no need to ask it of Him. ²Yet you do not know the meaning of anything you perceive. ³Not one thought you hold is wholly true. ⁴The recognition of this is your firm beginning. [CE T-11.IX.2:1-4] 2 Father, I was mistaken in myself, because I failed to realize the Source from Which I came. ²I have not left that Source to enter in a body and to die. ³My holiness remains a part of me, as I am part of You. ☀️[CE W-228.2:1-3] 1 If I so choose, I can depart this world entirely. ²It is not death which makes this possible, but it is change of mind about the purpose of the world. ³If I believe it has a value as I see it now, so will it still remain for me. ⁴But if I see no value in the world as I behold it, nothing that I want to keep as mine or search for as a goal, it will depart from me. ⁵For I have not sought for illusions to replace the truth. [CE W-226.1] 3 Knowledge is not the remedy for false perception since, being another level, they can never meet. ²The one correction possible for false perception must be true perception. ³It will not endure. ⁴But for the time it lasts, it comes to heal… ⁵For true perception is a remedy with many names: forgiveness, salvation, Atonement, true perception—all are one. ⁶They are the one beginning, with the end to lead to oneness far beyond themselves. ⁷True perception is the means by which the world is saved from sin, for sin does not exist, and it is this that true perception sees. [CE C-3.3] 1 Father, it is today that I am free, because my will is Yours. ²I thought to make another will. ³Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists. ⁴And I am free because I was mistaken, and did not affect my own reality at all by my illusions. ☀️[CE W-227.1] 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.11:6] 3 It is not you that is so vulnerable and open to attack that just a word, a little whisper that you do not like, a circumstance that suits you not, or an event that you did not anticipate upsets your world and hurls it into chaos. ²Truth is not frail. ³Illusions leave it perfectly unmoved and undisturbed. ⁴But specialness is not the truth in you. ⁵It can be thrown off balance by anything. ⁶What rests on nothing never can be stable. ⁷However large and overblown it seems to be, it still must rock and turn and whirl about with every breeze. 4 Without foundation nothing is secure. ²Would God have left His Son in such a state, where safety has no meaning? ³No, His Son is safe, resting on Him. ⁴It is your specialness that is attacked by everything that walks and breathes, or creeps or crawls, or even lives at all. ⁵Nothing is safe from its attack, and it is safe from nothing. ⁶It will forevermore be unforgiving, for that is what it is: a secret vow that what God wants for you will never be, and that your will opposes His forever. ⁷Nor is it possible the two can ever be the same, while specialness stands like a flaming sword of death between them and makes them enemies. 5 God asks for your forgiveness. ²He would have no separation, like an alien will, rise between what He wills for you and what you will. 🔷[CE T-24.III.3-5]🔷 7 The miracle establishes you dream a dream and that its content is not true. ²This is a crucial step in dealing with illusions. ³No one is afraid of them when he perceives he made them up. ⁴The fear was held in place because he did not see that he was author of the dream, and not a figure in the dream. ⁵He gives himself the consequences that he dreams he gave his brother. ⁶And it is but this the dream has put together and has offered him, to show him that his wishes have been done. ⁷Thus does he fear his own attack, but sees it at another’s hands. ⁸As victim, he is suffering from its effects, but not their cause. ⁹He authored not his own attack, and he is innocent of what he caused. ☀️[CE T-28.II.7]

Aim for peace and understanding will follow. ~From the perspective of my body in a world of other bodies, it seems as if there are multiple minds and I am not the dreamer but a figure in the dream. The figures are not the dreamer but the dream. Dream figures don’t become aware of dreaming. The mind becomes aware of dreaming all the figures. In stillness the images are seen to be my own mind. For ego the images stand seemingly independent, and the mind of a brother is separate from mine. ~And from the perspective of believing I am a dream figure, it’s very complex and impossible to understand and experience the dreamer of the dream. It’s only once we slow down and stop ourselves, giving ourselves to the Teacher of the lesson, and becoming still in our being, that peace can come and bring understanding. ~I am not a dream figure. I am free. ~I am not the private mind of a dream figure. I am free. ~I am not a private mind or body. I am free. 4 Certainly sickness does not appear to be a decision. ²Nor would anyone actually believe he wants to be sick. ³Perhaps he can accept the idea in theory, but it is rarely if ever consistently applied to all specific forms of sickness both in the individual’s perception of himself and of all others as well. ⁴Nor is it at this level that the teacher of God calls forth the miracle of healing. ⁵He overlooks the mind and body, seeing only the face of Christ shining in front of him, correcting all mistakes and healing all perception. ⁶Healing is the result of the recognition by God’s teacher of Who it is that is in need of healing. ⁷This recognition has no special reference. ⁸It is true of all things that God created. ⁹In it are all illusions healed. ☀️[CE M-22.4]

[CE T-21.II.6:3-4] My thoughts are images that I have made. ²Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. ³It is my thoughts which tell me where I am and what I am. ⁴The fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and loss and death shows me that I am seeing only the representation of my insane thoughts and am not allowing my real ones to cast their beneficent light on what I see. ⁵Yet God’s way is sure. ⁶The images I have made cannot prevail against Him because it is not my will that they do so. ⁷My will is His, and I will place no other gods before Him. ☀️[CE W-53.5] 1 Perhaps this will become clearer and more personally meaningful if the ego’s use of guilt is clarified. ²The ego has a purpose, just as the Holy Spirit has. ³The ego’s purpose is fear, because only the fearful can be egotistic. ⁴The ego’s logic is as impeccable as that of the Holy Spirit, because your mind has all the means at its disposal to side with Heaven or earth, as it elects. ⁵But let us again remember that both are in you. 2 In Heaven there is no guilt, because the Kingdom is attained through the Atonement, which creates it in you. ²The word “create” is appropriate here, because once what you have made is undone by the Holy Spirit, the blessed residue is restored and therefore continues in creation. ³What is truly blessed is incapable of giving rise to guilt and must give rise to joy. ⁴This makes it invulnerable to the ego, because its peace is unassailable. ⁵It is invulnerable to disruption because it is whole. ☀️[CE [T-5.VI:1]-[T-5.VI.2]] 13 Every thought disorder is attended by guilt at its inception and maintained by guilt in its continuance. ²Guilt is inescapable for those who believe that they order their own thought, and must therefore obey its orders. ³This makes them feel responsible for their mind errors, without recognizing that by accepting this responsibility, they are really reacting irresponsibly. ⁴If the sole responsibility of the miracle worker is to accept the Atonement, and I assure you that it is, then the responsibility for what is atoned for cannot be yours. ☀️[CE T-5.VI.13] 9 Undoing is not your task, but it is up to you to welcome it or not. ☀️CE T-21.II.9:1] 7 We have said before that you must learn to think with God. ²To think with Him is to think like Him. ³This engenders joy, not guilt, because it is natural. ☀️[CE T-5.VI.7] ²The Name of God is my deliverance from every thought of evil and of sin, because it is my own as well as His. ☀️[CE W-203.1:2] ²God’s Name reminds me that I am His Son, not slave to time, unbound by laws which rule the world of sick illusions, free in God, forever and forever one with Him. ☀️[CE W-204.1:2] I bless the world because I bless myself. ²God’s blessing shines upon me from within my heart, where He abides. ³I need but turn to Him, and every sorrow melts away as I accept His boundless love for me. ☀️CE W-207.1:1-3]
