  • T8.5: The Power of Joint Decision

    WE are the joint will of the Sonship, whose wholeness is for all. We begin the journey back by setting out TOGETHER, and gather in our brothers as we CONTINUE together. Every gain in our strength is offered for all, so they, too, can lay aside their weakness and add their strength to us. God’s…

  • T8.6: Communication and the Ego-Body Equation

    Attack is ALWAYS physical. When attack in any form enters your mind, you are EQUATING yourself with a body. This is the ego’s INTERPRETATION of the body. You do not have to attack physically to accept this interpretation. You are accepting it simply by the belief that attack can GET you something you want. If…

  • T8.3: The Holy Encounter

    Glory be to God in the highest, and to YOU because He has so willed it. Ask and it shall be given you because it has already BEEN given. Ask for light and learn that you ARE light. If you want understanding and enlightenment you WILL learn it, because your will to learn it is…

  • T8.4: The Light of the World

    If God’s Will for you is complete peace and joy, unless you experience ONLY this you must be refusing to ACKNOWLEDGE His Will. His Will does not vacillate, being changeless forever. When you are not at peace, it can only be because you do not believe you ARE in Him. Yet He is all in…

  • T8.0: The Journey Back

    You are hampered in your progress by your demands to know what you do NOT know. This is actually a way of holding on to deprivation. You cannot reasonably object to following instructions in a course FOR knowing on the grounds that you do NOT know. The need for the course is implicit in your…

  • T8.2: The Rationale for Choice

    There IS a rationale for choice. Only one Teacher KNOWS what your reality is. If learning that is the PURPOSE of the curriculum, you must learn it of Him. The ego does not KNOW what it is trying to teach. It is trying to teach you what you are WITHOUT knowing it. The ego is…

  • T7.8: The Defense of Conflict

    We once said that without projection there can be no anger, but it is also true that without projection there can be no love. Projection is a fundamental law of the mind, and therefore one which ALWAYS operates. It is the law by which you create and were created. It is the law which unifies…

  • T7.9: The Extension of the Kingdom

    Only YOU can limit your creative power, but God wills to release it. He no more wills you to deprive yourself of your creations than He wills to deprive Himself of His. Do not withhold your gifts to the Sonship, or you withhold yourself from God. Selfishness is of the ego, but self-fullness is of…

  • T7.10: The Confusion of Strength and Weakness

    You no more recognize what is painful than you know what is joyful, and are, in fact, very apt to confuse the two. The Holy Spirit’s main function is to teach you TO TELL THEM APART. However strange it may seem that this is necessary, it obviously IS. The reason is equally obvious. What is…

  • T7.11: The State of Grace

    The Holy Spirit will ALWAYS guide you truly, because YOUR joy is HIS. This is His Will for everyone, because He speaks for the Kingdom of God, which IS joy. Following Him is therefore the easiest thing in the world, and the only thing that IS easy, because it is not of the world, and…
