We will repeat todayâ??s idea from time to time. For this one thought would be enough to save you and the world, if you believed that it is true. Its truth would mean that you have made no changes in yourself which have reality, nor changed the universe so that what God created was replaced by fear and evil, misery and death. If you remain as God created you fear has no meaning, evil is not real, and misery and death do not exist.Todayâ??s idea is therefore all you need to let complete correction heal your mind and give you perfect vision which will heal all the mistakes that any mind has made at any time or place. It is enough to heal the past and make the future free. It is enough to let the present be accepted as it is. It is enough to let time be the means for all the world to learn escape from time, and every change that time appears to bring in passing by. If you remain as God created you appearances cannot replace the truth, health cannot turn to sickness, nor can death be substitute for life, or fear for love. All this has not occurred, if you remain as God created you. You need no thought but just this one, to let redemption come to light the world and free it from the past. In this one thought is all the past undone; the present saved to quietly extend into a timeless future. If you are as God created you, then there has been no separation of your mind from His, no split between your mind and other minds, and only unity within your own. The healing power of todayâ??s idea is limitless. It is the birthplace of all miracles, the great restorer of the truth to the awareness of the world. Practice todayâ??s idea with gratitude. This is the truth that comes to set you free.This is the truth that God has promised you. This is the Word in which all sorrow ends. For your five minute practice periods, begin with this quotation from the text: â??I am as God created me. His Son can suffer nothing.And I am His Son.â?? Then, with this statement firmly in your mind, try to discover in

We ask for rest today, and quietness unshaken by the worldâ??s appearances. We ask for peace and stillness in the midst of all the turmoil born of clashing dreams.We ask for safety and for happiness, although we seem to look on danger and on sorrow. And we have the thought that will answer our asking with what we request. â??I rest in God.â?? This thought will bring to you the rest and quiet, peace and stillness, and the safety and the happiness you seek. â??I rest in God.â??This thought has power to wake the sleeping truth in you, whose vision sees beyond appearances to that same truth in everyone and everything there is. Here is the end of suffering for all the world, and everyone who ever came and yet will come to linger for a while. Here is the thought in which the Son of God is born again, to recognize himself. â??I rest in God.â?? Completely undismayed this thought will carry you through storms and strife, past misery and pain, past loss and death, and onward to the certainty of God.There is no suffering it cannot heal.There is no problem which it cannot solve.And no appearance but will turn to truth before the eyes of you who rest in God. This is the day of peace.You rest in God, and while the world is torn by winds of hate, your rest remains completely undisturbed. Yours is the rest of truth.Appearances cannot intrude on you.You call to all to join you in your rest, and they will hear and come to you because you rest in God.They will not hear another voice but yours, because you gave your voice to God and now you rest in Him, and let Him speak through you. In Him you have no cares and no concerns, no burdens, no anxiety, no pain, no fear of future and no past regrets. In timelessness you rest, while time goes by without its touch upon you, for your rest can never change in any way at all. You rest today.And as you close your eyes,sink into stillness.Let these periods of rest and respite reassure your mind that all its frantic fantasies were but the dreams of fever that has passed away. Let it be still and thankfully accept its healing. No more fearful dreams will

Vision depends upon todayâ??s idea. The light is in it, for it reconciles all seeming opposites. And what is light except the resolution, born of peace, of all your conflicts and mistaken thoughts into one concept which is wholly true? Even that one will disappear because the Thought behind it will appear instead, to take its place. And now we are at peace forever, for the dream is over now. True light which makes true vision possible is not the light the bodyâ??s eyes behold. It is a state of mind which has become so unified that darkness cannot be perceived at all.And thus what is the same is seen as one, while what is not the same remains unnoticed, for it is not there. This is the light which shows no opposites, and vision, being healed, has power to heal.This is the light that brings your peace of mind to other minds, to share it and be glad that they are one with you and with themselves. This is the light which heals because it brings single perception, based upon one frame of reference from which one meaning comes. Here are both giving and receiving seen as different aspects of one Thought Whose truth does not depend on which is seen as first, nor which appears to be in second place. Here it is understood that both occur together, that the Thought remain complete. And in this understanding is the base on which all opposites are reconciled, because they are perceived from the same frame of reference which unifies this Thought. One thought, completely unified, will serve to unify all thought.This is the same as saying one correction will suffice for all correction, or that to forgive one brother wholly is enough to bring salvation to all minds. For these are but some special cases of one law which holds for every kind of learning, if it be directed by the One Who knows the truth. To learn that giving and receiving are the same has special usefulness, because it can be tried so easily and seen as true. And when this special case has proved it always works in every PART I

What can correct illusions but the truth? And what are errors but illusions that remain unrecognized for what they are? Where truth has entered errors disappear.They merely vanish, leaving not a trace by which to be remembered.They are gone because without belief they have no life, and so they disappear to nothingness, returning whence they came. From dust to dust they come and go, for only truth remains. Can you imagine what a state of mind without illusions is? How it would feel? Try to remember when there was a time, â?? perhaps a minute, maybe even less, â?? when nothing came to interrupt your peace; when you were certain you were loved and safe. Then try to picture what it would be like to have that moment be extended to the end of time and to eternity. Then let the sense of quiet that you felt be multiplied a hundred times, and then be multiplied another hundred more. And now you have a hint, not more than just the faintest intimation of the state your mind will rest in when the truth has come. Without illusions there could be no fear, no doubt and no attack.When truth has come all pain is over, for there is no room for transitory thoughts and dead ideas to linger in your mind. Truth occupies your mind completely, liberating you from all beliefs in the ephemeral.They have no place because the truth has come, and they are nowhere. They cannot be found, for truth is everywhere forever now. When truth has come it does not stay a while to disappear, or change to something else. It does not shift and alter in its form, nor come and go and go and come again. It stays exactly as it always was, to be depended on in every need, and trusted with a perfect trust in all the seeming difficulties and the doubts that the appearances the world presents engender. They will merely flow away, when truth corrects the errors in your mind. When truth has come it harbors in its wings the gift of perfect constancy, and love which does not falter in the face of pain but looks

If you will lay aside the egoâ??s voice however loudly it may seem to call; if you will not accept its petty gifts which give you nothing that you really want; if you will listen with an open mind, which has not told you what salvation is; then you will hear the mighty Voice of truth, quiet in power, strong in stillness, and completely certain in Its messages. Listen, and hear your Father speak to you through His appointedVoice,Which silences the thunder of the meaningless,and shows the way to peace to those who cannot see. Be still today and listen to the truth. Be not deceived by voices of the dead which tell you they have found the source of life, and offer it to you for your belief. Attend them not, but listen to the truth. Be not afraid today to circumvent the voices of the world, walk lightly past their meaningless persuasion. Hear them not. Be still today and listen to the truth. Go past all things which do not speak of Him Who holds your happiness within His hand, held out to you in welcome and in love. Hear only Him today, and do not wait to reach Him longer. Hear one Voice today. Today the promise of Godâ??s Word is kept. Hear and be silent. He would speak to you. He comes with miracles a thousand times as happy and as wonderful as those you ever dreamt or wished for in your dreams. His miracles are true. They will not fade when dreaming ends.They end the dream instead; and last forever for they come from God to His dear Son, whose other name is you. Prepare yourself for miracles today. Today allow your Fatherâ??s ancient pledge to you and all your brothers to be kept. Hear Him today, and listen to the Word which lifts the veil which lies upon the earth, and wakes all those who sleep and cannot see. God calls to them through you. He needs your voice to speak to them, for who could reach Godâ??s Son except his Father calling through your Self? Hear Him today, and offer Him your voice to speak to all the multitudes who wait to hear the Word that He will speak today. Be ready for salvation. It is here, and will today be given unto you. And

Godâ??s peace and joy are yours.Today we will accept them, knowing they belong to us.And we will try to understand these gifts increase as we receive them.They are not like to the gifts the world can give, in which the giver loses as he gives the gift; the taker is the richer by his loss.These are not gifts, but bargains made with guilt. The truly given gift entails no loss. It is impossible that one can gain because another loses.This implies a limit and an insufficiency. No gift is given thus. Such â??giftsâ?? are but a bid for a more valuable return; a loan with interest to be paid in full; a temporary lending, meant to be a pledge of debt to be repaid with more than was received by him who took the gift. This strange distortion of what giving means pervades all levels of the world you see. It strips all meaning from the gifts you give, and leaves you nothing in the ones you take.A major learning goal this course has set is to reverse your view of giving, so you can receive. Forgiving has become a source of fear, and so you would avoid the only means by which you can receive. Accept Godâ??s peace and joy, and you will learn a different way of looking at a gift. Godâ??s gifts will never lessen when they are given away.They but increase thereby.As Heavenâ??s peace and joy intensify when you accept them as Godâ??s gift to you, so does the joy of your Creator grow when you accept His joy and peace as yours. True giving is creation. It extends the limitless to the unlimited, eternity to timelessness, and love unto itself. It adds to all that is complete already, not in simple terms of adding more, for that implies that it was less before. It adds by letting what cannot contain itself fulfill its aim of giving everything it has away, securing it forever for itself. Today accept Godâ??s peace and joy as yours. Let Him complete Himself as He defines completion.You will understand that what completes Him must complete His Son as well. He cannot give through loss. No more can you. Receive His gift of joy and peace today, and He will thank you for your gift to Him. Today our practice periods will start a little differently. Begin

Todayâ??s idea continues with the thought that joy and peace are not but idle dreams.They are your right, because of what you are.They come to you from God,Who cannot fail to give you what He wills. Yet must there be a place made ready to receive His gifts.They are not welcomed gladly by a mind which has instead received the gifts it made where His belong, as substitutes for them. Today we would remove all meaningless and self-made gifts which we have placed upon the holy altar where Godâ??s gifts belong. These are the gifts which are our own in truth. His are the gifts which we inherited before time was, and which will still be ours when time has passed into eternity. These are the gifts which are within us now, for they are timeless. And we need not wait to have them. They belong to us today. Therefore we will to have them now, and know in choosing them in place of what we made we but unite our will with what God wills, and recognize the same as being One. Our longer practice periods today, the hourly five minutes given truth for your salvation, should begin with this: â??I seek but what belongs to me in truth, And joy and peace are my inheritance.â?? Then lay aside the conflicts of the world that offer other gifts and other goals made of illusions, witnessed to by them, and sought for only in a world of dreams. All this we lay aside, and seek instead that which is truly ours, as we ask to recognize what God has given us. We clear a holy place within our minds before His altar, where His gifts of peace and joy are welcome, and to which we come to find what has been given us by Him.We come in confidence today, aware that what belongs to us in truth is what He gives. And we would wish for nothing else, for nothing else belongs to us in truth. So do we clear the way for Him today by simply recognizing that His Will is done already, and that joy and peace belong to us as His eternal gifts.We will not let ourselves lose sight of them between

Happiness is an attribute of love. It cannot be apart from it, nor can it be experienced where love is not. Love has no limits, being everywhere. And therefore joy is everywhere as well. Yet can the mind deny that this is so, believing there are gaps in love where sin can enter, bringing pain instead of joy. This strange belief would limit happiness by redefining love as limited, and introducing opposition in what has no limit and no opposite. Fear is associated then with love, and its results become the heritage of minds that think what they have made is real. These images, with no reality in truth, bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting being Love He must be joy. This basic error we will try again to bring to truth today, and teach ourselves: â??God, being Love, is also happiness. To fear Him is to be afraid of joy.â?? Begin your longer exercises for today with this association, which corrects the false belief that God is fear. It also emphasizes happiness belongs to you because of what He is. Allow this one correction to be placed within your minds each waking hour today.Then welcome all the happiness it brings, as truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the place of pain. God being Love, it will be given you. Bolster this expectation frequently throughout the day, and quiet all your fears with this assurance, kind and wholly true: â??God, being Love, is also happiness. And it is happiness I seek today. I cannot fail, because I seek the truth.â??

You do not want to suffer.You may think it buys you something, and may still believe a little that it buys you what you want.Yet this belief is surely shaken now, at least enough to let you question it, and to suspect it really makes no sense. It has not gone as yet, but lacks the roots that once secured it tightly to the dark and hidden secret places of your mind. Today we try to loose its weakened hold still further. And to realize that pain is purposeless, without a cause, and with no power to accomplish anything. It cannot purchase anything at all. It offers nothing, and does not exist.And everything you think it offers you is lacking in existence like itself.You have been slave to nothing. Be you free today to join the happy Will of God. For several days we will continue to devote our longer practice periods to exercises planned to help you reach the happiness Godâ??s Will has placed in you. Here is your home, and here your safety is. Here is your peace, and here there is no fear. Here is salvation. Here is rest at last. Begin the longer practice periods with this acceptance of Godâ??s Will for you: â??I share Godâ??s Will for happiness for me, And I accept it as my function now.â?? Then seek this function deep within your mind, for it is there, awaiting but your choice.You cannot fail to find it when you learn it is your choice, and that you share Godâ??s Will. Be happy, for your only function here is happiness.You have no need to be less loving to Godâ??s Son than He Whose Love created him as loving as Himself. Besides these hourly five minute rests, pause frequently today to tell yourself that you have now accepted happiness as your one function.And be sure that you are joining with Godâ??s Will in doing this.

Today we will continue with the theme of happiness.This is a key idea in understanding what salvation means.You still believe it asks for suffering as penance for your â??sins.â??This is not so.Yet you must think it so while you believe that sin is real, and that Godâ??s Son can sin. If sin is real then punishment is just, and cannot be escaped. Salvation thus cannot be purchased but through suffering. If sin is real then happiness must be illusion, for they cannot both be true. The sinful warrant only death and pain, and it is this they ask for, for they know it waits for them and it will seek them out and find them somewhere, sometime, in some form which evens the account they owe to God.They would escape Him in their fear. And yet He will pursue, and they can not escape. If sin is real salvation must be pain. Pain is the cost of sin, and suffering can never be escaped if sin is real. Salvation must be feared, for it will kill, but slowly, taking everything away before it grants the welcome boon of death to victims who are little more than bones before salvation is appeased. Its wrath is boundless, merciless, but wholly just. Who would seek out such savage punishment? Who would not flee salvation, and attempt in every way he can to drown the Voice Which offers it to him? Why would he try to listen, and accept Its offering? If sin is real its offering is death, and meted out in cruel form to match the vicious wishes in which sin is born. If sin is real salvation has become your bitter enemy, the curse of God upon you who have crucified His Son. You need the practice periods today.The exercises teach sin is not real, and all that you believe must come from sin will never happen, for it has no cause. Accept atonement with an open mind, which cherishes no lingering belief that you have made a devil of Godâ??s Son. There is no sin.We practice with this thought as often as we can today, because it is the basis for todayâ??s idea. Godâ??s Will for you is perfect happiness because there is no sin, and suffering is causeless.

Just as Godâ??s Son completes his Father, so your part in it completes your Fatherâ??s plan. Salvation must reverse the mad belief in separate thoughts and separate bodies which lead separate lives and go their separate ways. One function shared by separate minds unites them in one purpose, for each one is equally essential to them all. Godâ??s Will for you is perfect happiness.Why should you choose to go against His Will? The part that He has saved for you to take in working out His plan is given you that you might be restored to what He wills. This part is as essential to His plan as to your happiness.Your joy must be complete to let His plan be understood by those to whom He sends you.They will see their function in your shining face, and hear God calling to them in your happy laugh. You are indeed essential to Godâ??s plan.Without your joy His joy is incomplete.Without your smile the world cannot be saved.While you are sad the light which God Himself appointed as the means to save the world is dim and lusterless. And no-one laughs because all laughter can but echo yours. You are indeed essential to Godâ??s plan. Just as your light increases every light that shines in Heaven, so your joy on earth calls to all minds to let their sorrows go, and take their place beside you in Godâ??s plan. Godâ??s messengers are joyous, and their joy heals sorrow and despair.They are the proof that God wills perfect happiness for all who will accept their Fatherâ??s gifts as theirs. We will not let ourselves be sad today. For if we do, we fail to take the part that is essential to Godâ??s plan, as well as to our vision. Sadness is the sign that you would play another part, instead of what has been assigned to you by God.Thus do you fail to show the world how great the happiness He wills for you. And so you do not recognize that it is yours. Today we will attempt to understand joy is our function here. If you are sad your part is unfulfilled, and all the world is thus deprived of joy, along with you. God asks that you be happy, so the world can see how much He loves His Son, and wills no sorrow rises to abate his

Salvation and forgiveness are the same. They both imply that something has gone wrong; something you need to be saved from or forgiven for; something amiss that needs corrective change, something apart or different from the Will of God. Thus do both terms imply something impossible but yet which has occurred, resulting in a state of conflict between what is and what could never be. Truth and illusions both are equal now, for both have happened. The impossible becomes the thing you need forgiveness for; salvation from. Salvation is the borderland between the truth and illusion. It reflects the truth because it is the means by which you can escape illusions.Yet it is not truth because it undoes what was never done. How could there be a meeting place at all where earth and Heaven can be reconciled within a mind where both of them exist? The mind that sees illusions thinks them real.They have existence in that they are thoughts. And yet they are not real because the mind that thinks these thoughts is separate from God. What joins the separated mind and thoughts with Mind and Thought which are forever One?
