===========================================
8 A miracle has lighted up all dark and ancient caverns where the rites of death echoed since time began. ²For time has lost its hold upon the world. ³The Son of God has come in glory to redeem the lost, to save the helpless, and to give the world the gift of his forgiveness. ⁴Who could see the world as dark and sinful when God’s Son has come again at last to set it free?

9 You who perceive yourself as weak and frail, with futile hopes and devastated dreams, born but to die, to weep and suffer pain, hear this: All power is given unto you in earth and Heaven. ²There is nothing that you cannot do. ³You play the game of death, of being helpless, pitifully tied to dissolution in a world which shows no mercy to you. ⁴Yet when you accord it mercy will its mercy shine on you.
☀️[CE W-191.8-9]

4 Protect all things you value by the act of giving them away, and you are sure that you will never lose them. ²What you thought you did not have is thereby proven yours. ³Yet value not its form. ⁴For this will change and grow unrecognizable in time, however much you try to keep it safe. ⁵No form endures. ⁶To value form is but to worship death. ⁷It is the thought behind the form of things that lives unchangeable.
☀️[CE W-187.4]

8 Never believe that you can sacrifice. ²There is no place for sacrifice in what has any value. ³If the thought occurs, its very presence proves that error has arisen and correction must be made. ⁴Your blessing will correct it. ⁵Given first to you, it now is yours to give as well. ⁶No form of sacrifice and suffering can long endure before the face of one who has forgiven and has blessed himself.
☀️[CE W-187.8]

8 We practice coming nearer to the light in us today. ²We take our wandering thoughts and gently bring them back to where they fall in line with all the thoughts we share with God. ³We will not let them stray. ⁴We let the light within our minds direct them to come home. ⁵We have betrayed them, ordering that they depart from us. ⁶But now we call them back and wash them clean of strange desires and disordered wishes. ⁷We restore to them the holiness of their inheritance.
☀️[CE W-188.8]

³The way is simple: Every time you feel a stab of anger, realize you hold a sword above your head. ⁴And it will fall or be averted as you choose to be condemned or free.
☀️[CE W-192.9:3-4]

9 How can you tell when you are seeing wrong, or someone else is failing to perceive the lesson he should learn? ²Does pain seem real in the perception? ³If it does, be sure the lesson is not learned, and there remains an un-forgiveness hiding in the mind which sees the pain through eyes the mind directs.
☀️[CE W-193.9]

6 Certain it is that all distress does not appear to be but un-forgiveness. ²Yet that is the content underneath the form.
☀️[CE W-193.6:1-2]

5 It is your thoughts alone that cause you pain. ²Nothing external to your mind can hurt or injure you in any way. ³There is no cause beyond yourself that can reach down and bring oppression. ⁴No one but yourself affects you. ⁵There is nothing in the world which has the power to make you ill or sad, or weak or frail. ⁶But it is you who have the power to dominate all things you see by merely recognizing what you are. ⁷As you perceive the harmlessness in them, they will accept your holy will as theirs.
☀️[CE W-190.5:1-7]

15 This is the lesson God would have you learn: There is a way to look on everything that lets it be to you another step to Him and to salvation of the world. ²To all that speaks of terror answer thus:

³I will forgive, and this will disappear.

⁴To every apprehension, every care, and every form of suffering, repeat these selfsame words. ⁵In them you hold the key that opens Heaven’s gate and brings the love of God the Father down to earth at last, to raise it up to Heaven.
☀️[CE W-193.15:1-5]

What would you see? ²The choice is given you. ³But learn and do not let your mind forget this law of seeing: You will look upon that which you feel within. ⁴If hatred finds a place within your heart, you will perceive a fearful world, held cruelly in death’s sharp-pointed, bony fingers. ⁵If you feel the love of God within you, you look out upon a world of mercy and of love.

6 Today we pass illusions as we seek to reach to what is true in us and feel its all-embracing tenderness, its love which knows us perfect as itself, its sight which is the gift its love bestows on us. ²We learn the way today.
