Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== ⁵Your only calling here is to devote yourself with active willingness to the denial of guilt in all its forms. ☀️[CE T-14.VII.2:5] Sickness is but another name for sin. Healing is but another name for God. The miracle is thus a call to Him. ☀️[CE W-356:1] Truth answers every call we make to God, responding first with miracles, and then returning unto us to be itself. ☀️[CE W-357:1] No call to God can be unheard or left unanswered. ☀️[CE W-358:1] God’s answer is some form of peace. ☀️[CE W-359:1] 1 Father, it is Your peace that I would give, receiving it of You. ☀️[CE W-360.1:1-3] 1 Miracles are natural expressions of total forgiveness. ²Through miracles, you affirm your acceptance of God’s forgiveness by extending it to others. ☀️[CE T-1.22.1] ²Your holy Son is pointed out to me, first in my brother, then in me…. ☀️[CE W-357.1] …by asking Jesus’ help to shift my perception of you, I learn that what I am seeing in you is a projection of what I see in me. Realizing that you are part of God’s one Son, I realize that I am, too. Ken Wapnick ⁵“Behold his sinlessness and be you saved. ⁶Look on the Christ in him and be you healed.” ☀️[CE W-357.1:5-6] This statement from the lesson is meant to convince us of the need to have… willingness. Jesus wants us to return to the part of the mind that has chosen to see sin in others as a way of protecting it in ourselves, and thus accepting no responsibility for it. When he says “Behold his sinlessness, and be you healed,” he speaks of the correction of the misperception of sin, and our desire to see it anywhere but in ourselves. By choosing the miracle we make the choice to be healed, and our brothers along with us. Ken Wapnick 3 An unforgiving thought does many things… ☀️[CE W-WI.1.3:1] ³The thought protects projection, tightening its chains so that distortions are more veiled and more obscure; less easily accessible to doubt and further kept from reason. ☀️[CE W-WI.1.2:3] ²So let us not forget our goal is shared, for it is that remembrance which contains the memory of God, and points the way to Him and to the Heaven of His peace. ³And shall we not forgive our brother, who can offer this to us? ⁴He is the way, the truth, and life that shows the way to us. ⁵In him resides salvation, offered us through our forgiveness, given unto him. ☀️[CE W-FL.4:2-5] Peace be to me, the holy Son of God. Peace to my brother, who is one with me. Let all the world be blessed with peace through us. ☀️[CE W-360:1] ⁷Ideas are of the mind. ⁸What is projected out and seems to be external to the mind is not outside at all, but an effect of what is in, and has not left its source. ⁹God’s Answer lies where the belief in sin must be, for only there can its effects be utterly undone and without cause. ☀️[CE T-26.VII.4:7-9] 4 All forms of not-right-mindedness are the result of refusal to accept the Atonement for yourself. ²If the miracle worker does accept it, he places himself in the position to recognize that those who need to be healed are simply those who have not done so. ³When you feel the vast radiation range of your own inner illumination, it will be because you are aware that your right-mindedness is healing. ☀️[CE T-2.VIII.4] 1 Father, today we will forgive Your world and let creation be Your own. ²We have misunderstood all things, but we have not made sinners of the holy Sons of God. ³What You created sinless so abides forever and forever. ⁴Such are we. ⁵And we rejoice to learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us. ☀️[CE W-359.1:1-5]40 views -

We use all donations toward our mission of bringing peace. Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== ³Certainly God is not in a table, for example, as you see it. ⁴Yet we emphasized yesterday that a table shares the purpose of the universe. ⁵And what shares the purpose of the universe shares the purpose of its Creator. 3 Try then, today, to begin to learn how to look on all things with love, appreciation, and open-mindedness. ²You do not see them now. ³Would you know what is in them? ⁴Nothing is as it appears to you. ⁵Its holy purpose stands beyond your little range. ⁶When vision has shown you the holiness that lights up the world, you will understand today’s idea perfectly. ⁷And you will not understand how you could ever have found it difficult. (God is in everything I see.) ☀️[CE W-29.2-3] Today I let Christ’s vision look upon all things for me and judge them not, but give each one a miracle of love instead. 1 So would I liberate all things I see, and give to them the freedom that I seek. ²For thus do I obey the law of love, and give what I would find and make my own. ☀️[CE [W-349:1] ³Your memory depends on his forgiveness. ⁴What he is, is unaffected by his thoughts, but what he looks upon is their direct result. ☀️[CE W-350.1:3-4] 6 You are the dreamer of the world of dreams. ²No other cause it has, nor ever will. ☀️[CE T-27.IX.6:1-2] Anger must come from judgment. Judgment is the weapon I would use against myself to keep the miracle away from me. ☀️[CE W-347:1] 1 The wish to be unfairly treated is a compromise attempt that would combine attack and innocence. ²Who can combine the wholly incompatible and make a unity of what can never join? ☀️[CE T-27.I.1:1-2] Judgment and love are opposites. From one come all the sorrows of the world. But from the other comes the peace of God Himself. ☀️[CE W-352:1] ⁴I am the holy home of God Himself. ⁵I am the Heaven where His love abides. [CE W-WI.14.1:4-5] The Calm Being of God’s Kingdom 1 It is difficult to understand what “The Kingdom of Heaven is within you” means. ²The reason is because it is not understandable to the ego, which interprets it as if something outside is inside, which does not mean anything. The word “within” does not belong. ⁴The Kingdom of Heaven is you. ⁵What else but you did the Creator create, and what else but you is His Kingdom? ⁶This is the whole message of the Atonement, a message which in its totality transcends the sum of the parts (as we said about the Sonship before). ☀️[CE [T-4.V:1] ⁶It is the teaching underlying what you say that teaches you. ⁷Teaching but reinforces what you believe about yourself. ⁸Its fundamental purpose is to diminish self-doubt. ☀️[CE M-In.3:6-8] 1 What we forgive becomes a part of us as we perceive ourselves. ²The Son of God incorporates all things within himself as You created him. (Miracles mirror God’s eternal love. To offer them is to remember Him, and through His memory to save the world.) [CE ☀️[W-350:1] incorporate verb a: to unite or work into something already existent so as to form an indistinguishable whole. Merrian-Webster It takes far longer to teach you how to be willing to give Him this [instant] than for Him to use this tiny instant to offer you the whole of Heaven. ⁷In exchange for this instant, He stands ready to give you the remembrance of eternity. ☀️[CE T-15.I.12] 1 Who is my brother but Your holy Son? ²And if I see him sinful, I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son of God, alone and friendless in a fearful world. ³Yet this perception is a choice I make, and can relinquish. [CE W-351.1:1-3] 1 Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone, and judges not. ²Through this I come to You. [CE W-352.1:1-2] 1 Forgiveness recognizes what you thought your brother did to you has not occurred. ²It does not pardon sins and make them real. ³It sees there was no sin. ⁴And in this view are all your sins forgiven. [CE W-WI.1.1:1-4] …the mind, which is the only level of causation, cannot generate effects beyond itself…[CE T-2.VII.5] ³In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposite. ☀️[CE W-WI.14.1:3] ²Yet in the final days of this one year we gave to God together, you and I, we found a single purpose that we shared. ☀️[CE W-WI.14.2:2] I have no self except the Christ in me. ³I have no purpose but His Own. ☀️[CE W-354.1:2-3] ⁴A while I work with Him to serve His purpose. ⁵Then I lose myself in my identity, and recognize that Christ is but my Self. ☀️[CE W-353.1:4-5] ³Ours the minds which join together as we bless the world. ⁴And from the oneness that we have attained, we call to all our brothers, asking them to share our peace and consummate our joy. [CE W-WI.14.4:3-4] …the mind, which is the only level of causation, cannot generate effects beyond itself…[CE T-2.VII.5] ³In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposite. ☀️[CE W-WI.14.1:3] ²Yet in the final days of this one year we gave to God together, you and I, we found a single purpose that we shared. ☀️[CE W-WI.14.2:2] I have no self except the Christ in me. ³I have no purpose but His Own. ☀️[CE W-354.1:2-3] ⁴A while I work with Him to serve His purpose. ⁵Then I lose myself in my identity, and recognize that Christ is but my Self. ☀️[CE W-353.1:4-5] ³Ours the minds which join together as we bless the world. ⁴And from the oneness that we have attained, we call to all our brothers, asking them to share our peace and consummate our joy. ☀️[CE W-WI.14.4:3-4]51 views -

We use all donations toward our mission of bringing peace. Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== Every decision that you make stems from what you think you are, and represents the value that you put upon yourself. ⁴Every little thing you seek and think you want defines you as little to yourself. ☀️[CE T-15.III.3] ³It [the miracle] merely looks on devastation and reminds the mind that what it sees is false. ☀️[CE W-WI.13.1:3] ³A miracle inverts perception which was upside down before, and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest. ⁴Now is perception open to the truth. ⁵Now is forgiveness seen as justified. ☀️[CE W-WI.13.2] 1 I thank You, Father, for Your plan to save me from the hell I made. ²It is not real. ³And You have given me the means to prove its unreality to me.☀️[CE W-342.1:8] 1 The end of suffering cannot be loss. ²The gift of everything can but be gain. ☀️[CE W-343.1:1-2] ²I did not understand what giving means, and thought to save what I desired for myself alone. ³And as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was or is or will be. ☀️[CE W-344.1:2-3] 1 Father, I want what goes against my will, and do not want what is my will to have. ²Straighten my mind, my Father. ³It is sick. ☀️[CE W-347.1:1-3] If it is His Love you really want to remember, your specialness needs will recede into the background and His Love, as reflected through Jesus’ teachings of forgiveness, will come to the foreground. If you realize that the purpose of this day is not to satisfy your ego’s needs, but rather to be a classroom in which your only need of forgiveness is satisfied, that purpose will be the foreground, and the daily events and relationships will reflect that changed purpose. ~Ken Wapnick Comment on Lesson 346 The peace of God envelops me And I forget all things except His Love. What I seek today transcends all laws of time and things perceived in time. …time has stepped aside today. …forgetting all the foolish toys I made. (Today the peace of God envelops me, and I forget all things except His love.) ☀️[CE W-346:1] The law of love… sinless perception (Means and end are one.) (Freedom of the mind) Today I learn the law of love: that what I give my brother is my gift to me. ☀️[CE W-344:1] I let forgiveness rest upon all things, for thus forgiveness will be given me. ☀️[CE W-342:1] I offer only miracles today, for I would have them be returned to me. ☀️[CE W-345:1] Today the peace of God envelops me, and I forget all things except His love. ☀️[CE W-346:1] The laws of time… sick perception Insanity of attack, sacrifice and judgement (Means and end are different.) (Freedom of the body) I can attack but my own sinlessness, and it is only that which keeps me safe. ☀️[CE W-341:1] I am not asked to make a sacrifice to find the mercy and the peace of God. ☀️[CE W-343:1] Anger must come from judgment. Judgment is the weapon I would use against myself to keep the miracle away from me. ☀️[CE W-347:1] ²I am he on whom You smile in love… we [are] abiding in Your smile, with all Your love… in brotherhood and fatherhood complete… the Lord of sinlessness conceives us as His Son, a universe of thought completing Him. 2 Let us not, then, attack our sinlessness. ²For it contains the Word of God to us, and in its kind reflection we are saved. (I can attack but my own sinlessness, and it is only that which keeps me safe.) ☀️[CE W-341.1-2] ⁴The miracles I give are given back in just the form I need to help me with the problems I perceive. ⁵Father, in Heaven it is different, for there, there are no needs. ⁶But here on earth the miracle is closer to Your gifts than any other gift that I can give. (I offer only miracles today, for I would have them be returned to me.) ☀️[CE [W-345:1] “I am perfect as God created me now.” “I will be perfect when…” So what I do is I blame myself for not being perfect, right now… and this is worshipping time. And what I have done is that I have put time in front of God. ⁴You see eventual salvation, not immediate results. ⁵Salvation is immediate. ☀️[CE T-26.VIII.2:4-9] ¹⁰And you seek to be content with sighing, and with “reasoning” you do not understand it now, but will some day. ¹¹And then its meaning will be clear. ¹²This is not reason, for it is unjust, and clearly hints at punishment until the time of liberation is at hand. ☀️[CE T-26.VIII.6:10-12] ⁶Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. ⁷Let my forgiven brothers fill my store with Heaven’s treasures, which alone are real. ⁸Thus is the law of love fulfilled. ⁹And thus Your Son arises and returns to You. ☀️[CE W-344.1:6-9]24 views 2 comments -

Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== 4 If you would know your prayers are answered, never doubt a Son of God. ²Do not question him and do not confound him, for your faith in him is your faith in yourself.. ☀️[CE T-9.II.4] Confound; transitive verb 1.To cause to become confused or perplexed. synonym: perplex. 2.To fail to distinguish; mix up. 3.To make (something bad) worse. …the way I see you comes from the way I see myself—projection makes perception. What I have judged real and important in my mind is what I will see as real and important outside me in the body. If I judge my individuality to be valuable, that is what I will see in you; but I will see sin there as well and not within… The ego had us make the world of specifics precisely so we could have persons onto whom we could project responsibility for our individual and separate existence. ☀️Ken Wapnick, ²I was mistaken when I thought I sinned, but I accept Atonement for myself. ³Father, my dream is ended now. ⁴Amen. ☀️[CE W-337.2:2-4] ²This day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed. ³His suffering is done. ☀️[CE W-340.1:2-3] You're not really there. If I think you are guilty or the cause of the problem, and if I made you up, then the imagined guilt and fear must be in me. Since the separation from God never occurred, I forgive "both" of us for what we haven't really done. Now there is only innocence, and I join with the Holy Spirit in peace. ~Gary Renard, The Disappearance of the Universe 2 I seek but the eternal. ²For Your Son can be content with nothing less than this. ³What, then, can be his solace but what You are offering to his bewildered mind and frightened heart, to give him certainty and bring him peace? (I claim the gifts forgiveness gives.) ☀️[CE W-334.2:1-3] 1 Forgiveness is a choice. ²I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. ³What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. ⁴It is to this alone that I respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings. (I choose to see my brother’s sinlessness.) ☀️[CE [W-335:1] 2 The ego’s plan for salvation centers on holding grievances. ²It maintains that if someone else spoke or acted differently, if some external circumstance or event were changed, you would be saved…. 3 The role assigned to your own mind, then, is simply to determine what, other than itself, must change if you are to be saved. ²According to this insane plan, any perceived source of salvation is acceptable, provided that it will not work. ☀️[CE W-71.2:1-2], [CE W-71.3] Our Father, Your ideas reflect the truth, and mine apart from Yours but make up dreams. Let me behold what only Yours reflect, for Yours and Yours alone establish truth. All things ☀️[CE W-325.2] 2 Your plan is sure, my Father, only Yours. ²All other plans will fail. ³And I will have thoughts that will frighten me, until I learn that You have given me the only thought which leads me to salvation. ⁴Mine alone will fail, and lead me nowhere. ☀️[CE W-338.2:1-4] …Every time you choose whether or not to fulfill your function, you are really choosing whether to be happy or not. …⁶Let not the form of the decision deceive you. ⁷Complexity of form does not imply complexity of content. ⁸It is impossible that any decision on earth can have a content different from just this one simple choice. ⁹That is the only choice the Holy Spirit sees. ¹⁰Therefore, it is the only choice there is. ☀️[CE W-64.5] ⁴His thoughts can frighten him, but since these thoughts belong to him alone, he has the power to change them, and exchange each fear thought for a happy thought of love. (I am affected only by my thoughts.) ☀️[CE W-338.1:4] ⁴Vision already holds a replacement for everything you think you see now. ☀️[CE W-23.4:4] ⁵He has asked for what will frighten him and bring him suffering. ⁶Let us resolve today to ask for what we really want, and only this, that we may spend this day in fearlessness, without confusing pain with joy, or fear with love. (I will receive whatever I request.) ☀️[CE [W-339:1,6] ³It is always physical closeness that the ego demands, and it does not object where the mind goes or what it thinks, for this seems unimportant. ☀️[CE T-15.VII.7-8] ⁴It dreams of punishment and trembles at the figures in its dreams, its “enemies” who seek to murder it before it can ensure its safety by attacking them. ☀️[CE W-WI.12.2:4] ⁶Healing is the effect of minds that join, as sickness comes from minds that separate. ⁷The miracle does nothing just because the minds are joined and cannot separate. ⁸Yet in the dreaming has this been reversed, and separate minds are seen as bodies, which are separated and which cannot join. ☀️[CE T-28.III.2:6-8] ⁴Forgiveness sweeps away distortions and opens the hidden altar to the truth. ⁵Its lilies shine into the mind and call it to return and look within, to find what it had vainly sought without. ⁶For here, and only here, is peace of mind restored, for this the dwelling place of God Himself. ☀️[CE W-336.1:4-6]35 views 1 comment -

We use all donations toward our mission of bringing peace. Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== 1 The ego is idolatry; the sign of limited and separated self, born in a body, doomed to suffer and to end its life in death. ²It is the will that sees the will of God as enemy and takes a form in which it is denied. …⁴It dreams of punishment and trembles at the figures in its dreams, its “enemies” who seek to murder it before it can ensure its safety by attacking them. [CE W-WI.12.1:1-2]☀️ [CE W-WI.12.2:4] ⁵The Self Which God created cannot sin, and therefore cannot suffer. (I will not hurt myself again today.) ☀️[CE W-330.1:5] 1 Father, I thought I wandered from Your will, defied it, broke its laws, and interposed a second will more powerful than Yours. ²Yet what I am in truth is but Your will, extended and extending. ³This am I, and this will never change. ⁴As You are one, so am I one with You. ⁵And this I chose in my creation, where my will became forever one with Yours. ⁶That choice was made for all eternity. ⁷It cannot change and be in opposition to itself. (I have already chosen what you will.) ☀️[CE W-329.1:1-7] ³Truth does not fight against illusion, nor do illusions fight against the truth. ⁴Illusions battle only with themselves. ⁵Being fragmented, they fragment. ⁶But truth is indivisible, and far beyond their little reach. ⁷You will remember what you know when you have learned you cannot be in conflict. ⁸One illusion about yourself can battle with another, yet the war of two illusions is a state where nothing happens. ⁹There is no victor and there is no victory. ¹⁰And truth stands radiant, apart from conflict, untouched and quiet in the peace of God… 10 The stillness of your certainty of Him and of yourself is home to Both of You, Who dwell as one and not apart. ☀️[CE T-23.II.7-10] 1 What seems to be the second place is first, for all things we perceive are upside down until we listen to the Voice of God. (I choose the second place to gain the first.) ☀️[CE [W-328:1] 1 Conflict must be resolved. ²It cannot be evaded, set aside, denied, disguised, seen somewhere else, called by another name, or hidden by deceit of any kind, if it would be escaped. (Forgiveness ends the dream of conflict here.) ☀️[CE [W-333:1] 1 Let us this day accept forgiveness as our only function. ²Why should we attack our minds and give them images of pain? ³Why should we teach them they are powerless, when God holds out His power and His love, and bids them take what is already theirs?

We use all donations toward our mission of bringing peace. 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]39 views -

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 Wapnick61 views 1 comment -

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]32 views 1 comment -

Venmo: Brian Theard @teachonlylove PayPal: [email protected] =============================== …this is also an idea that lets no false perception keep you in its hold nor represent more than a passing cloud upon a sky eternally serene. ³And it is this serenity we seek—unclouded, obvious, and sure—today. (Only an instant does this world endure.) ☀️[CE W-300.1:2-3] 2 Our Love awaits us as we go to Him, and walks beside us, showing us the way. ²He fails in nothing. ³He the end we seek, and He the means by which we come to Him. ☀️[CE W-302.2] “Your own self is your ultimate teacher. The outer teacher is merely a milestone. It is only your inner teacher, that will walk with you to the goal, for he is the goal.” Nisargadatta Maharaj ⁵God’s Son is not a traveler through outer worlds. ⁶However holy his perception may become, no world outside himself holds his inheritance. ⁷Within himself he has no needs, for light needs nothing but to shine in peace, and from itself to let the rays extend in quiet to infinity. ☀️[CE T-13.VIII.4] 2 We seek Your holy world today. ²For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our way a while. ³But we have listened to Your Voice and learned exactly what to do to be restored to Heaven and our true identity. (Only an instant does this world endure.) ☀️[CE W-300.2:1-3] 2 God’s world is happy. ²Those who look on it can only add their joy to it, and bless it as a cause of further joy in them. ³We wept because we did not understand. ⁴But we have learned the world we saw was false, and we will look upon God’s world today. (And God Himself shall wipe away all tears) [CE W-301.2] 1 My holiness is far beyond my own ability to understand or know. ²Yet God my Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. ³Our will, together, understands it. ⁴And our will, together, knows that it is so. (Eternal holiness abides in me.) ☀️[CE [W-299:1] 1 Father, unless I judge I cannot weep, nor can I suffer pain or feel I am abandoned and unneeded in the world. ²This is my home because I judge it not, and therefore is it only what You will. ³Let me today behold it un-condemned, through happy eyes forgiveness has released from all distortion. ☀️[CE W-301.1:1-3] ³Let earthly sounds be quiet and the sights to which I am accustomed disappear. ⁴Let Christ be welcomed where He is at home, and let Him hear the sounds He understands and see but sights which show His Father’s love. ⁵Let Him no longer be a stranger here, for He is born again in me today. ☀️[CE W-303.1:3-5] 2 Your Son is welcome, Father. ²He has come to save me from the evil self I made. ³He is the Self that You have given me. ☀️[CE W-303.2:1-3] Please note: The “evil self” you made is the sleeping mind trying to get rid of it’s pain by projecting it’s guilt in the form of an evil and dangerous world believed to be apart from you who are it’s victim. …The body is little and limited, and only those whom you would see without the limits that the ego would impose on them can offer you the gift of freedom. ⁶You have no conception of the limits you have placed on your perception, and no idea of all the loveliness that you could see. 6 But this you must remember: The attraction of guilt opposes the attraction of God. ²His attraction for you remains unlimited, but because your power, being His, is as great as His, you can turn away from love. ³What you invest in guilt you withdraw from God. ☀️[CE T-15.IX.5-6] 2 The real world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your world; a sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle that your world contains. ☀️[CE W-WI.8.2:1] The Second Coming… is a part of the condition which restores the never lost, and reestablishes what is forever and forever true. ☀️[CE W-WI.9.1:2] 1 Who uses but Christ’s vision finds a peace so deep and quiet, undisturbable and wholly changeless, that the world contains no counterpart. (There is a peace that Christ bestows on us.) ☀️[CE W-305.1:1] 1 I can obscure my holy sight, if I intrude my world upon it. ²Nor can I behold the holy sights Christ looks upon unless it is His vision that I use. ³Perception is a mirror, not a fact, and what I look on is my state of mind reflected outward. ⁴I would bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. ⁵And I will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven me. (Let not my world obscure the sight of Christ.) ☀️[CE [W-304:1] ⁵Not even what the Son of God made in insanity could be without a hidden spark of beauty that gentleness could release... 6 All this beauty will rise to bless your sight as you look upon the world with forgiving eyes. ²For forgiveness literally transforms vision, and lets you see the real world reaching quietly and gently across chaos and removing all illusions that had twisted your perception and fixed it on the past. ³The smallest leaf becomes a thing of wonder, and a blade of grass a sign of God’s perfection. ☀️[CE T-17.II.5-6]127 views
