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

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]
