================================

³Shall I accept as true what He proclaims as false? ⁴Or shall I take His Word for what I am, since He is my Creator and the One Who knows the true condition of His Son?
[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.
