T12B7 "In THIS understanding lies your remembering, for it is the recognition of love WITHOUT fear."

T12C1 "We have said that no one will countenance fear, IF HE RECOGNIZES IT."

T12C1 "But in your disordered state, YOU ARE NOT AFRAID OF FEAR."

T12C2 "You could look even upon the ego's darkest cornerstone WITHOUT fear, if you did not believe that, WITHOUT THE EGO, you would find, within yourself, something you fear even more."

T12C3 "Your fear of attack is nothing, compared to your fear of love."

T12C8 "Do not leave any spot of pain hidden from His Light, and search your minds carefully for any thoughts which you may fear to uncover."

T12C10 "And healing must be as complete as fear, for love cannot enter where there is one spot of fear to mar its welcome."

T12C11 "He feared what he had made, but still more did he fear his REAL Father, having attacked his glorious equality WITH Him."

T12E1 "We have said that you have but two emotions, love and fear."

T12E5 "And you react with fear to love, and draw AWAY from it."

T12E5 "But fear ATTRACTS you, and believing it is love, you call it to yourself."

T14C3 "As guardians of darkness and of ignorance, look to them ONLY for fear, for what they keep obscure IS fearful."

T14D2 "If you hide it, it becomes unreal to you, BECAUSE you hid it, and SURROUNDED IT WITH FEAR."

T14D2 "Under each cornerstone of fear, on which you have erected your insane system of belief, THE TRUTH LIES HIDDEN."

T14D2 "Yet you cannot know this, for, by HIDING truth in fear, you see no reason to believe the more you LOOK at fear, the LESS you see it, and the clearer WHAT IT CONCEALS becomes."

T14D4 "Their JOINING thus becomes the source of fear, for, if they meet, acceptance MUST be withdrawn from one of them."

T14D5 "Truth does not struggle AGAINST ignorance, and love does not ATTACK fear."

T14E4 "There, fear of death will be replaced with joy of living."

T14G6 "If you are WHOLLY free of fear of any kind, and if all those who meet, or even THINK of you, SHARE in your perfect peace, then you can be sure that you have learned GOD's lesson, and NOT yours."

T14G10 "And EVERY fear or pain or trial you have HAS BEEN undone."

T15B2 "No-one who follows the ego's teaching is without the FEAR of death."

T15B3 "For the ego must SEEM to KEEP FEAR FROM YOU, to keep your allegiance."

T15B3 "Yet it must ENGENDER fear, in order to maintain ITSELF."

T15B5 "The only way in which the ego allows the fear of hell to be experienced is to BRING HELL HERE, but ALWAYS as a foretaste of the future."

T15B6 "For the Holy Spirit, Who knows ONLY the present, uses it to UNDO the fear by which the ego would make the present useless."

T15B6 "There is NO ESCAPE from fear, in the ego's use of time."

T15B7 "Fear is NOT of the present, but ONLY of the past and future, which do not exist."

T15B7 "There is no fear in the present, when each instant stands clear and separated from the past, without its shadow reaching out into the future."

T15B8 "From this holy instant, wherein holiness is born, you will go forth in time without fear, and with no sense of change WITH time."

T15C2 "For the instant of peace is eternal, BECAUSE it is wholly WITHOUT fear."

T15C7 "Fear not that you will not be given help in this."

T15F4 "Because of guilt, ALL special relationships have some elements of fear in them."

T15F4 "And love, where fear has entered, CANNOT be depended on, because it is NOT perfect."

T15J5 "If you would accept but this ONE idea, your fear of love would vanish."

T15J7 "That love demands sacrifice, and is therefore INSEPARABLE from attack and fear."

T15J7 "And that GUILT IS THE PRICE OF LOVE, which MUST be paid BY fear."

T16D8 "Have no fear that the attraction of those who stand on the other side and wait for you, will not draw you safely across."

T16E4 "And when they find the fear of death is still upon them, the "love" relationship loses the illusion that it IS what it is NOT."

T16E4 "For, when the barricades against it are broken, fear rushes in and hatred triumphs."

T16E6 "Every illusion is one of fear, WHATEVER form it takes."

T16E7 "And, as such, it is nothing more than an attempt to bring love into fear, and MAKE IT REAL IN FEAR."

T16E9 "Fear not to cross to the abode of peace and perfect holiness."

T16E10 "Would you not go THROUGH fear to Love?"

T16E11 "For love IS wholly without illusion, and therefore wholly WITHOUT FEAR."

T16F8 "Yet if ALL illusions are of fear, and they CAN be of nothing else, the illusion of Heaven is nothing more than an ATTRACTIVE form of fear, in which the guilt is buried deep, and rises in the form of "love.""

T16G6 "But fear it not, for it means nothing more than that you have been willing to LET GO your hold on the distorted frame of reference, that SEEMED to hold your world together."

T16G7 "Fear not that you will be abruptly lifted up, and hurled into reality."

T17I4 "But what the 'something else' produced was sorrow and depression, sickness and pain, darkness and dim imaginings of terror, cold fantasies of fear, and fiery dreams of hell."

T18A3 "But fear involves substitution by definition, for it is love's REPLACEMENT."

T18A3 "Fear is both a fragmented AND FRAGMENTING emotion."

T18A3 "The body is emphasized, with special emphasis on certain parts, and USED AS THE STANDARD FOR COMPARISON for either acceptance or rejection of suitability for acting out a special FORM of fear."

T18B1 "You who believe that God is fear made but ONE substitution."

T18B4 "When you seem to see some twisted form of the original error rise to frighten you, say only, 'God is NOT fear, but love,' and it will disappear."

T18C4 "Anger and fear pervade it, and in an instant the illusion of satisfaction is invaded by the illusion of terror."

T18C8 "We once said that the first change, before dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear are changed to HAPPY dreams."

T18D2 "As the light comes nearer, you WILL rush to darkness, shrinking from the truth, sometimes retreating to the lesser forms of fear, and sometimes to stark terror."

T18D3 "If you knew Who walks beside you on THIS way, which YOU have chosen, fear would be impossible."

T18D4 "When you retreat to the illusions, YOUR FEAR INCREASES, for there is little doubt that what YOU think it means IS fearful."

T18D4 "But what is that to us who travel surely and very swiftly AWAY from fear?"

T18D4 "And fear MUST disappear before you now."

T18D8 "Let not time worry you, for all the fear that you experience is really past."

T18D8 "You have gone PAST fear, for no two minds can JOIN in the desire for love without love's joining THEM."

T18E7 "And it is ONLY fear that you will add, if you prepare YOURSELF for love."

T18F1 "For they are all but ASPECTS of the plan to change your dreams of fear to happy dreams, from which you waken easily to knowledge."

T18F2 "Never approach the holy instant AFTER you have tried to remove all fear and hatred from your mind."

T18F2 "Your part is only to offer Him a LITTLE willingness to LET Him remove all fear and hatred, and to BE forgiven."

T18F5 "It will become the HAPPY dream through which He can spread joy to thousands on thousands who believe that love is fear, NOT happiness."

T18F6 "When you feel the holiness of your relationship is threatened by ANYTHING, stop instantly and offer the Holy Spirit your willingness, IN SPITE of fear, to let Him exchange this instant for the holy one which YOU would rather have."

T18G13 "What REALLY happens is that you have GIVEN UP the illusion of a LIMITED awareness, and lost your fear of union."

T18G13 "You have escaped from fear to peace, asking no questions of reality, but merely ACCEPTING it."

T18J4 "YOU are severely tempted to abandon HIM at the outside ring of fear."

T18J5 "The circle of fear lies just below the level the body sees, and SEEMS to be the whole foundation on which the world is based."

T19B9 "Faith is the OPPOSITE of fear, as much a part of love, as fear is of attack."

T19D1 "Fear can become so acute that the sin is denied the acting out, but, while the guilt REMAINS attractive, the mind will suffer, and not let go the IDEA of the sin."

T19D1 "And only an AVENGER, with a mind UNLIKE your own, could stamp it out through FEAR."

T19D2 "The ego does not think it possible that love, NOT fear, is really called upon by sin, AND ALWAYS ANSWERS."

T19D2 "For the ego brings sin to FEAR, demanding punishment."

T19D7 "The ONLY power that could CHANGE perception is thus kept impotent, held to the body by the FEAR of changed perception, which its Teacher, Who is One with it, would bring."

T19F1 "For love contains the END of guilt, as surely as fear DEPENDS on it."

T19F1 "Overlooking guilt completely, IT SEES NO FEAR."

T19F2 "Fear is attracted to what love sees NOT."

T19F2 "Fear looks on guilt with just the same devotion that love looks on itself."

T19F2 "The messengers of fear are harshly ordered to seek out guilt, and cherish every scrap of evil and sin that they can find, losing none of them on pain of death, and laying them respectfully before their lord and master."

T19F3 "What fear would feed upon, love overlooks."

T19F3 "What fear DEMANDS, love cannot even SEE."

T19F3 "The fierce attraction that guilt holds for fear, is wholly absent from love's gentle perception."

T19F3 "What love would look upon is meaningless to fear, and quite invisible."

T19F4 "Fear's messengers are trained through terror, and they tremble when their master calls upon them to serve him."

T19F4 "For fear is merciless even to its friends."

T19F5 "For they are frantic with the pain of fear, and would avert the punishment of him who sends them forth, by offering him what THEY hold dear."

T19F6 "The Holy Spirit has given you love's messengers, to send INSTEAD of those YOU trained through fear."

T19F7 "If you send forth ONLY the messengers the Holy Spirit gave you, WANTING no messages but theirs, you will see fear no more."

T19F7 "The world contains no fear that YOU laid not upon it."

T19G2 "Here is the SOURCE of the idea that love is fear."

T19G3 "It is only the messengers of FEAR that see the body, for they look for what can suffer."

T19G3 "But neither can it bring you fear of pain."

T19G4 "You WANT communion, NOT the feast of fear."

T19H5 "For it invites FEAR to enter, and become your PURPOSE."

T19H5 "The attraction of guilt MUST enter with it, and WHATEVER fear directs the body to do IS therefore painful."

T19H6 "Under fear's orders, the body WILL pursue guilt, serving its master, whose attraction to guilt maintains the whole illusion of his existence."

T19I1 "What seems to be the FEAR of death, is really its ATTRACTION."

T19J5 "Those who fear death see not how often and how loudly they CALL to it, and bid it come to SAVE them from communication."

T19J8 "The fear of death will go as its appeal is yielded to love's REAL attraction."

T19J9 "What fear can enter and disturb the peace of sinlessness?"

T19J10 "When anything seems to you to be a source of fear, when any situation strikes you with terror and makes your body tremble and the cold sweat of fear comes over it, remember it is ALWAYS for one reason; the ego has perceived it as a symbol of fear, a sign of sin and death."

T19K1 "What would you see, WITHOUT the fear of death?"

T19K2 "For this dark veil, which seems to make the face of Christ Himself like to a leper's, and the bright rays of His Father's Love which light His face with glory appear as streams of blood, fades in the blazing light BEYOND it, when the fear of death is gone."

T19K3 "Here is your promise never to allow union to call you OUT of separation; the great amnesia in which the memory of God seems quite forgotten; the cleavage of your Self from you; THE FEAR OF GOD, the final step in your dissociation."

T19K4 "For, if this is gone, what can you fear but life?"

T19K4 "For, in your secret alliance with them, you have agreed never to let the fear of God be lifted, so you could look upon the face of Christ, and join Him in His Father."

T19K4 "Every obstacle that peace must flow across is surmounted in just the same way; the fear that RAISED it yields to the love beneath, and so the fear is gone."

T19K5 "Your WANTING fear SEEMED to be holding them in place."

T19K6 "The "loveliness" of sin; the delicate appeal of guilt, the "holy" waxen image of death, and the fear of vengeance of the ego you swore in blood not to desert, all rise and bid you NOT to raise your eyes."

T19K7 "No mad desire, no trivial impulse to forget again, no stab of fear, nor the cold sweat of seeming death, CAN stand against your will."

T19L4 "Only the sane can look on stark insanity and raving madness with pity and compassion, but NOT with fear."

T20D12 "There is no fear in perfect love, BECAUSE it knows no sin."

T20D12 "Looking with charity within, what can it fear WITHOUT?"

T20D12 "See HIM as sinless, and there can BE no fear in you."

T20F2 "Each herald of eternity sings of the end of sin and fear."

T20F3 "Do you recognize the fear that rises from the meaningless attempt to judge what lies so far BEYOND your judgment you cannot even SEE it?"

T20G1 "The one he made is partial, self-centered, broken into fragments and full of fear."

T20G6 "But what you do NOT realize is what you fear within your brother, and would not SEE in HIM, is what makes God seem fearful and kept unknown."

T20G7 "Let love draw near them and OVERLOOK the body, as it will surely do, and they retreat in fear, feeling the seeming firm foundation of their temple begin to shake and loosen."

T20G7 "But what you fear is but the herald of escape."

T20G13 "Perhaps you fear each other a little yet; perhaps a shadow of the fear of God remains with you."

T20H9 "And, as you ask, forget not that HIS sinlessness is YOUR escape from fear."

T21D7 "For what you think is sin is LIMITATION; and whom you try to limit to the body YOU HATE BECAUSE YOU FEAR."

T21D7 "But HOLINESS would set your brother free, removing hatred by removing fear, NOT as a symptom, but at its source."

T21D8 "Those who would free their brothers from the body, can HAVE no fear."

T21E1 "Fear in association with sin the ego deems quite appropriate, and smiles approvingly."

T21E1 "IT has no fear to let you feel ashamed."

T21E1 "This merely SEEMS to be the source of fear."

T21E2 "Yet this is NOT the ego's hidden fear, nor YOURS who serve it."

T21E2 "Beneath your fear to look within because of sin is yet ANOTHER fear, and one which makes the ego tremble."

T21E7 "Be not held back by fear's insane insistence that sureness lies in doubt."

T21G8 "That you are JOINED is your salvation; the gift of Heaven, NOT the gift of fear."

T22B1 "And where, you wonder, does your strange uneasiness, your sense of being disconnected, and your haunting fear of lack of meaning in yourself arise?"

T22B5 "Let not your fear of sin protect it from correction, for the attraction of guilt is ONLY fear."

T22B11 "For to deny illusions is to recognize that FEAR is meaningless."

T22B11 "Into the holy home where fear is powerless, love enters thankfully, grateful that it is one with you who joined to LET it enter."

T22C3 "You can be sure indeed that any seeming happiness which does not last is really fear."

T22C10 "Behold the great projection, but look on it with the decision that it MUST BE HEALED, and NOT with fear."

T22F2 "And what would you be SAVED from, but what you FEAR?"

T22G5 "The means of sinlessness can know no fear, because they carry ONLY love with them."

T22G11 "Let us look straight at how this error came about, for here lies buried the heavy anchor that seems to keep the fear of God in place, unmovable and solid as a rock."

T23B12 "War is the condition in which fear is born, and grows and seeks to dominate."

T23C16 "How lovely do the laws of fear make death appear!"

T23C16 "Give thanks unto the hero on love's throne, who saved the Son of God for fear and death!"

T23C21 "Certain it is illusions will bring fear, because of the beliefs that they imply, NOT for their form."

T23D1 "Its sole intent is murder, and what FORM of murder serves to cover the massive guilt and frantic fear of punishment the murderer MUST feel?"

T23D6 "You have NOT lingered there in cowering hope, because the guns are stilled an instant and the fear that haunts the place of death is not apparent, that it will not return."

T25C1 "Is it not evident that what the body's eyes perceive FILLS YOU WITH FEAR?"

T25C2 "In NO respect, at ANY time or place, has ANYTHING but fear and guilt been your reward."

T25G1 "He can see no evil; nothing in the world to fear, and no-one who is different from himself."

T25I6 "And deep suspicion and the chill of fear come over them when they are told that they have NEVER sinned."

T25I14 "Let love decide, and never fear that you, in your unfairness, will deprive yourself of what GOD's justice has allotted you."

T25J2 "God's justice warrants gratitude, NOT fear."

T26E3 "Who could fear love, and stand upon the ground where sin has left a place for Heaven's altar to rise and tower far above the world, and reach beyond the universe to touch the heart of ALL creation?"

T26H11 "Is fear a treasure?"

T26I2 "In this form is the error still obscured that is the SOURCE of fear."

T26I2 "And it is HERE you fear the loss would lie."

T26I3 "Do not project this fear to time, for time is NOT the enemy that you perceive."

T26I3 "FUTURE loss is not your fear."

T26I4 "And therefore MUST it be that, if you fear, there is a PRESENT cause."

T26I4 "And who could fear effects UNLESS he thought they had BEEN caused and judged disastrous NOW?"

T26I4 "Belief in sin arouses fear, and like its cause, is looking forward; looking back, but OVERLOOKING what is here and now."

T26I5 "It stands ALREADY there, in present grace, within the only interval of time which sin and fear have overlooked, but which is all there IS to time."

T26I5 "Why wait 'til they unfold in time, and fear they may NOT come, although already THERE?"

T27A1 "Walk you the gentle way, and you will fear no evil and no shadows in the night."

T27B4 "That NO reproach he laid upon his heart was EVER justified, and NO attack can touch him with the poisoned sting of fear."

T27G5 "The One Who brings the miracle perceived them all as one, and called by name of "fear.""

T27G5 "As fear is witness unto death, so is the miracle the witness unto Life."

T27H12 "And, UNDERNEATH this dream, is yet another, in which YOU become the murderer, the secret enemy, the scavenger and the destroyer of the brother and the world you fear alike."

T27H12 "The little gap you do not even see, the birthplace of illusions and of fear, the time of terror and of ancient hate, the instant of disaster; -- all are here."

T27H13 "So fearful is the dream, so seeming real, he could not waken to reality without the sweat of terror and a scream of mortal fear, unless a gentler dream preceded his awaking, and allowed his calmer mind to welcome, NOT to fear, the Voice that called with love to waken him."

T28E1 "You can be sure of just ONE thing; that you are evil, for you share in dreams of fear."

T28E2 "It is the DREAM you fear, and NOT the mind."

T28E4 "Therefore release him, merely by your claim on brotherhood, and NOT on dreams of fear."

T28E4 "And dreams of fear will haunt the little gap, inhabited but by illusions which you have SUPPORTED in each other's minds."

T28F1 "God is the ALTERNATE to dreams of fear."

T28F2 "The fear is gone from them BECAUSE YOU DID NOT GIVE THEM YOUR SUPPORT."

T28F2 "Where fear has gone, there love MUST come, because there ARE but these alternatives."

T28F7 "Look at the little gap, and you behold the innocence and emptiness of sin that you will see within yourself, when you have lost the fear of recognizing love."

T28G3 "The thing you hate and fear and loathe and WANT, the body does not know."

T28H6 "What is the SENSE in seeking to be safe in what was MADE for danger and for fear?"

T29A2 "Here is the fear of God most plainly seen."

T29A2 "For love is treacherous to those who fear, since fear and hate can NEVER be apart."

T29A2 "The fear of God!"

T29B3 "And it WILL take command of when to "love," and when to shrink more safely into fear."

T29B3 "But fear DEMANDS the sacrifice of love, for in love's presence fear cannot abide."

T29B4 "You do not fear its weakness, but its lack of strength OR weakness."

T29B5 "And there ARE overtones of seeming fear around the happy message "God is Love.""

T29B5 "Without the fear of God, what could induce you to abandon Him?"

T29C3 "For pain and sin are ONE illusion, as are hate and fear, attack and guilt but one."

T29E2 "The dreams you THINK you like would hold you back, as much as those in which the fear is seen."

T29E2 "For EVERY dream is but a dream of fear, no matter what the form it seems to take."

T29E2 "The fear is seen within, without, or both."

T29E2 "For fear is the material of dreams, from which they ALL are made."

T29E2 "The miracle were treacherous indeed if it allowed you still to be afraid, because you did not RECOGNIZE the fear."

T29E3 "Depression or assault must be the theme of every dream, for they are made of fear."

T29E3 "The thin disguise of pleasure and of joy in which they may be wrapped but slightly veils the heavy lump of fear which is their core."

T29E5 "The core of dreams the Holy Spirit gives is NEVER one of fear."

T29F7 "Such is the core of fear in every dream that has been kept apart from use by Him Who sees a different function for a dream."

T29G5 "How free from fear, how filled with blessing and with happiness!"

T29H4 "The search implies you are not whole within, and fear to look upon your devastation, and prefer to seek outside yourself for what you are."

T29H8 "The fear of God is but the fear of loss of idols."

T29H8 "It is NOT the fear of loss of your reality."

T29I4 "The "more-than-everything" is NOT a thing to make you tremble and to quail in fear."

T29J9 "Whenever you feel fear in any form, - and you ARE fearful if you do not feel a deep content, a certainty of help, a calm assurance Heaven goes with you, - be sure you made an idol, and believe it will betray you."

T29J9 "Your self-betrayal MUST result in fear, and fear IS judgment, leading surely to the frantic search for idols and for death."

T29J10 "And so they bring the dreamer full release from dreams of fear."

T29J10 "He does not fear his judgment, for he has judged no-one, nor has sought to be released THROUGH judgment from what judgment MUST impose."

T30A1 "And, together, they will lead you both from dreams of judgment to forgiving dreams, and out of pain and fear."

T30B2 "And then ANOTHER answer cannot BUT produce confusion and uncertainty AND FEAR."

T30B2 "This leads to fear, because it contradicts what you perceive, and so you feel attacked, AND THEREFORE ANGRY."

T30B3 "These two procedures, practiced well, will serve to let you be directed WITHOUT fear, for opposition will not FIRST arise, and THEN become a problem in itself."

T30B4 "For you have ALREADY gotten angry, and your fear of being answered in a different way from what YOUR version of the question asks will gain momentum until you believe the day you want is one in which you get YOUR answer to your question."

T30B9 "But this takes practice in the rules which will PROTECT you from the ravages of fear."

T30C3 "For thus was hatred born into the world, and thus the rule of fear established here."

T30C3 "Now hear God speak to you through Him Who is His Voice, and YOURS as well, reminding you that it is NOT your will to hate, and be a prisoner to fear, a slave to death, a LITTLE creature with a LITTLE life."

T30D9 "Completely unaffected by the turmoil and the terror of the world, the dreams of birth and death that here are dreamed, the myriad of forms that fear can take, quite undisturbed, the Thought God holds of you remains EXACTLY as It always was."

T30E5 "And they bring fear BECAUSE they hide the truth."

T30E8 "And even in illusions it but asks forgiveness be the substitute for fear."

T30E8 "The gap is emptied of the toys of fear, and then its unreality is plain."

T30F1 "Fear is NOT its goal, and the ESCAPE from guilt becomes its aim."

T30F1 "No rules are idly set, and no demands are made of anyone or anything to twist and fit into the dream of fear."

T30F3 "And fear has dropped away, because he is united in his purpose with HIMSELF."

T30F4 "But fear is gone, because its purpose is forgiveness, NOT idolatry."

T30F6 "When brothers join in purpose in the world of fear, they stand ALREADY at the edge of the real world."

T30F6 "How light and easy is the step across the narrow boundaries of the world of fear, when you have RECOGNIZED Whose hand you hold!"

T30F7 "Within your hand is everything you need to walk with perfect confidence away from fear forever."

T30F7 "An ancient hate is passing from the world, and with it goes ALL hatred and ALL fear."

T30F9 "Look forward, then, and walk in confidence, with happy hearts that beat in hope and do not pound in fear."

T30G1 "It is here escape from fear begins, and will be made complete."

T30G3 "Fear cannot ARISE unless attack is justified."

T30G4 "Thus is the fear of God the sure result of seeing pardon as unmerited."

T30G4 "No-one who sees himself as guilty CAN avoid the fear of God."

T30H3 "Fear is a judgment NEVER justified."

T30H3 "But NOT because the thing you fear has fearful meaning in itself."

T30H7 "This is a state so seemingly unsafe that fear MUST rise."

T30I5 "BECAUSE reality is changeless is a miracle already there to heal all things that change, and offer them to you to see in happy form, devoid of fear."

T30I6 "Why should you fear to see the Christ in him?"

T31A8 "The outcome of the lesson that God's Son is guiltless is a world in which there is no fear, and everything is lit with hope, and sparkles with a gentle friendliness."

T31A9 "For God were fear indeed, if he whom He created innocent could be a slave to guilt."

T31A10 "The fear of God results as surely from the lesson that His Son is guilty as God's Love must be remembered when he LEARNS his innocence."

T31A10 "For hate must father fear, and look upon its father as itself."

T31C5 "Here are the thoughts of sacrifice preserved, for here guilt rules, and orders that the world be like itself; a place where nothing can find mercy, or survive the ravages of fear except in murder and in death."

T31E4 "It is a lesson in a terrible displacement, and a fear so devastating that the face which smiles above it must forever look away, lest it perceive the treachery it hides."

T31E6 "Not one of them is true, and many come from feverish imaginations, hot with hatred and distortions born of fear."

T31E15 "But have no fear it will not be undone."

T31G7 "At least you merely look on darkness, and perceive the terrified imaginings that come from guilty thoughts and concepts born of fear."

T31G7 "And what you see is hell, for fear IS hell."

T31G9 "The veil across the Face of Christ, the fear of God and of salvation, and the love of guilt and death, - they all are different names for just ONE error; that there is a space between you and your brother, kept apart by an illusion of yourself which holds him off from you, and you away from him."

T31G14 "It is a thing of madness, pain, and death; a thing of treachery and black despair, of failing dreams and no remaining hope except to die and end the dream of fear."

T31H5 "And thus are miracles as natural as fear and agony APPEARED to be before the choice for holiness was made."

T31H7 "Deny me not the little gift I ask, when in exchange I lay before your feet the peace of God, and power to bring this peace to everyone who wanders in the world, uncertain, lonely, and in constant fear."

W5L1 "The upset may seem to be fear, worry, depression, anxiety, anger, hatred, jealousy, or any number of forms, all of which will be perceived as different."

W6L1 "Again, it is necessary to name both the form of upset (anger, fear, worry, depression, and so on) and the perceived source very specifically for any application of the idea."

W13L3 "It is essential, therefore, that you learn to recognize the meaningless, and accept it without fear."

W13L4 "Then close your eyes and conclude with: "A meaningless world engenders fear because I think I am in competition with God.""

W13L5 "Note carefully, however, any signs of overt or covert fear which it may arouse."

W14L3 "Some of them will lead you directly into fear."

W14L5 "For example, do not say, "God did not create illness," but, "God did not create cancer," or heart attacks, or whatever may arouse fear in you."

W16L3 "In addition to never being idle, salvation requires that you recognize that every thought you have brings either peace or war; either love or fear."

W16L3 "There is such a temptation to dismiss fear thoughts as unimportant, trivial, and not worth bothering about that it is essential you recognize them all as equally destructive but equally unreal."

W20L2 "You do not have them now because your minds are totally undisciplined, and you cannot distinguish between joy and sorrow, pleasure and pain, love and fear."

W22L2 "All that you fear does not exist."

W23L1 "The idea for today contains the only way out of fear that will succeed."

W26L2 "Because your attack thoughts will be projected, you will fear attack."

W26L2 "And if you fear attack, you must believe that you are not invulnerable."

W26L6 "The concern may take the form of depression, worry, anger, a sense of imposition, fear, foreboding, or preoccupation."

W27L2 " If fear of loss still persists, add further: "It can only bless.""

W34L3 "Search your mind for fear thoughts, anxiety provoking situations, "offending" personalities or events, or anything else about which you are harboring unloving thoughts."

W39L6 "Then, with closed eyes, search out your unloving thoughts in whatever form they appear; uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, worry, attack, insecurity, and so on."

W41L1 "So are anxiety, worry, a deep sense of helplessness, misery, suffering, and intense fear of loss."

W41L3 "It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things were real, and suffered out of its allegiance to these beliefs."

W41L10 "You can indeed afford to laugh at fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go."

W44L9 "If resistance rises in any form, pause long enough to repeat today's idea, keeping your eyes closed unless you are aware of fear."

W46L2 "Fear condemns and love forgives."

W46L2 "Forgiveness thus undoes what fear has produced, returning the mind to the awareness of God."

W46L6 ""No fear is possible in a mind beloved of God.""

W47L2 "To believe that you can is to put your trust where trust is unwarranted, and to justify fear, anxiety, depression, anger, and sorrow."

W47L4 "Then spend a minute or two in searching for situations in your life which you have invested with fear, dismissing each one by telling yourself, "God is the Strength in which I trust.""

W48L1 "In truth there is nothing to fear."

W48L3 "The presence of fear is a sure sign that you are trusting in your own strength."

W48L3 "The awareness that there is nothing to fear shows that somewhere in your mind, not necessarily in a place which you recognize as yet, you have remembered God and let His strength take the place of yours."

W48L3 "The instant you are willing to do this there is indeed nothing to fear."

W53L3 "13) "A meaningless world engenders fear.""

W53L3 "The totally insane engenders fear because it is completely undependable, and offers no grounds for trust."

W53L3 "In choosing this, I will escape all the effects of the world of fear because I am acknowledging that it does not exist."

W54L5 "I would behold the proof that what has been done through me has enabled love to replace fear, laughter to replace weeping, and abundance to replace loss."

W60L3 "48) "There is nothing to fear.""

W60L3 "What could there be to fear in a world which I have forgiven, and which has forgiven me?"

W62L3 "It will take away all fear and guilt and pain."

W64L3 "It is only the arrogance of the ego which leads you to question this, and only the fear of the ego which induces you to regard yourself as unworthy of the task assigned to you by God Himself."

W66L7 "There are no other guides but these to choose between, and no other outcomes possible as a result of your choice but the fear which the ego always engenders and the love which the Holy Spirit always offers to replace it."

W68L2 "Who can dream of hatred and not fear God?"

W78L3 "So is the seeing of the world reversed, as we look out toward truth, away from fear."

W78L4 "Someone, perhaps, you fear and even hate; someone you think you love who angers you; someone you call a friend, but whom you see as difficult at times, or hard to please; demanding, irritating, or untrue to the ideal he should accept as his according to the role you set for him."

W93L11 "If a situation arises which seems to be disturbing, quickly dispel the illusion of fear by repeating these thoughts again."

W94L3 "This is the Self Which knows no fear, nor could conceive of loss or suffering or death."

W97L1 "No chill of fear can enter, for your mind has been absolved of madness, letting go illusions of a split identity."

W98L3 "The guiltless have no fear, for they are safe and recognize their safety."

W99L10 "Then turn to Him who shares your function with you, and let Him teach you what you need to learn to lay all fear aside, and know your Self as Love Which has no opposite in you."

W99L12 "You have a special message for today which has the power to remove all forms of doubt and fear forever from your mind."

W99L13 "Thus do you lay forgiveness on your mind, and let all fear be gently laid aside that Love may find Its rightful place in you, and show you that you are the Son of God."

W100L5 "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 joy; no fear besets him to disturb his peace."

W101L2 "They would escape Him in their fear."

W101L7 "Fear not the Will of God."

W102L3 "Here is your peace, and here there is no fear."

W103L2 "Fear is associated then with love, and its results become the heritage of minds which think what they have made is real."

W103L2 "These images, with no reality in truth, bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting being Love."

W103L2 "To fear Him is to be afraid of joy.""

W103L2 "Begin your longer exercises for today with this association, which corrects the false belief that God is fear."

W103L3 "Then welcome all the happiness it brings, as truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the place of pain."

W105L3 "For giving has become a source of fear, and so you would avoid the only means by which you can receive."

W107L3 "Without illusions there could be no fear, no doubt and no attack."

W109L5 "In Him you have no cares and no concerns, no burdens, no anxiety, no pain, no fear of future and no past regrets."

W110L1 "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."

W110L1 "If you remain as God created you, fear has no meaning, evil is not real, and misery and death do not exist."

W110L3 "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."

W121L2 "The unforgiving mind is full of fear, and offers love no room to be itself; no place where it can spread its wings in peace, and soar above the turmoil of the world."

W122L2 "It soothes your forehead while you sleep, and rests upon your eyelids so you see no dreams of fear and evil, malice and attack."

W130L2 "Fear must make blind, for this its weapon is; that which you fear to see you cannot see."

W130L2 "Love and perception thus go hand in hand, but fear obscures in darkness what is there."

W130L3 "What, then, can fear project upon the world?"

W130L3 "Truth is eclipsed by fear, and what remains is but imagined."

W130L4 "Fear has made everything you think you see."

W134L12 "He can remove the ponderous and useless armor made to chain his mind to fear and misery."

W135L4 "It stems from fear, increasing fear as each defense is made."

W135L4 "Yet it speaks of fear made real and terror justified."

W135L6 "Yet it is not the body that can fear, nor be a thing to fear."

W137L6 "And love becomes a dream, while fear remains the one reality which can be seen and justified and fully understood."

W138L2 "Truth cannot come where it could only be perceived with fear, for this would be the error truth can be brought to illusions."

W138L10 "The conscious choice of Heaven is as sure as is the ending of the fear of hell, when it is raised from its protective shield of unawareness, and is brought to light."

W138L11 "It holds no terror now, for what was made enormous, vengeful, pitiless with hate, demands obscurity for fear to be invested there."

W152L1 "No one can grieve nor fear nor think him sick unless these are the outcomes that he wants, and no one dies without his own consent."

W152L2 "Can fear and sickness enter in a mind where love and perfect holiness abide?"

W153L4 "You know not what you do in fear of it."

W153L7 "It proclaims you have denied the Christ and come to fear His Father's anger."

W153L9 "Now we cannot fear, for we have left all fearful thoughts behind."

W153L12 "It was designed by One Who loves His children, and Who would replace their fearful toys with joyous games, which teach them that the game of fear is gone."

W153L12 "The game of fear is gladly laid aside when children come to see the benefits salvation brings."

W160L1 "Fear is a stranger to the ways of love."

W160L1 "Identify with fear, and you will be a stranger to yourself."

W160L4 "Is it fear or you that is unsuited to the home which God provided for His Son?"

W160L4 "Is fear His Own, created in His likeness?"

W160L4 "Is it fear that love completes and is completed by?"

W160L4 "There is no home can shelter love and fear."

W160L4 "If you are real, then fear must be illusion."

W160L4 "And if fear is real, then you do not exist at all."

W161L1 "Here is the answer to temptation which can never fail to welcome in the Christ where fear and anger had prevailed before."

W161L5 "Yet bodies are but symbols of a concrete form of fear."

W161L5 "Fear without symbols calls for no response, for symbols can stand for the meaningless."

W161L5 "But fear attaches to specifics, being false."

W161L6 "This is the reason bodies easily become fear's symbols."

W161L6 "What else could be the seat of fear except what thinks of fear?"

W161L7 "Fear is insatiable, consuming everything its eyes behold; seeing itself in everything; compelled to turn upon itself and to destroy."

W161L8 "Who sees a brother as a body sees him as fear's symbol."

W161L8 "And he will attack because what he beholds is his own fear external to himself, poised to attack, and howling to unite with him again."

W161L8 "Mistake not the intensity of rage projected fear must spawn."

W161L9 "Ask him not to symbolize your fear."

W161L12 "Today's idea is your safe escape from anger and from fear."

W161L12 "Be sure you use it instantly, should you be tempted to attack a brother and perceive in him the symbol of your fear."

W163L1 "It may appear as sadness, fear, anxiety or doubt; as anger, faithlessness and lack of trust; concern for bodies, envy, and all forms in which the wish to be as you are not may come to tempt you."

W163L2 "Embodiment of fear, the host of sin, god of the guilty and the lord of all illusions and deceptions, does the thought of death seem mighty."

W165L7 "His Love remains beyond our every fear."

W166L9 "Your ancient fear has come upon you now, and justice has caught up with you at last."

W166L14 "What you fear but teaches them their fears are justified."

W168L4 "For in grace you see a light that covers all the world in love, and watch fear disappear from every face as hearts rise up and claim the light as theirs."

W169L2 "Grace is acceptance of the Love of God within a world of seeming hate and fear."

W169L2 "By grace alone the hate and fear are gone, for grace presents a state so opposite to everything the world contains that those whose minds are lighted by the gift of grace can not believe the world of fear is real."

W170L1 "And you mean that to attack is to exchange the state in which you are for something better, safer, more secure from dangerous invasion and from fear."

W170L2 "How thoroughly insane is the idea that to defend from fear is to attack!"

W170L2 "For here is fear begot and fed with blood, to make it grow and swell and rage."

W170L2 "And thus is fear protected, not escaped."

W170L3 "For love now has an "enemy," an opposite; and fear, the alien, now needs your defense against the threat of what you really are."

W170L5 "For fear becomes your safety and protector of your peace, to which you turn for solace and escape from doubts about your strength and hope of rest in dreamless quiet."

W170L5 "And as love is shorn of what belongs to it and it alone, love is endowed with attributes of fear."

W170L9 "Yet do not think that fear is the escape from fear."

W170L9 "The final one, the hardest to believe is nothing, and a seeming obstacle with the appearance of a solid block, impenetrable, fearful and beyond surmounting, is the fear of God Himself."

W170L9 "Here is the basic premise which enthrones the thought of fear as god."

W170L9 "For fear is loved by those who worship it, and love appears to be invested now with cruelty."

W170L10 "Love has not confused its attributes with those of fear."

W170L10 "Yet must the worshippers of fear perceive their own confusion in fear's "enemy"; its cruelty as now a part of love."

W170L11 "You have reached this place before, but you have chosen that this cruel god remain with you in still another form, and so the fear of God returned with you."

W170L12 "Now has fear made way for love, as God Himself replaces cruelty."

W175L2 "Fear is the stranger here.""

W183L8 "In that instant, He will take you to His home, and you will stay with Him in perfect stillness, silent and at peace, beyond all words, untouched by fear and doubt, sublimely certain that you are at home."

W187L9 "Who could fear to look upon such lovely holiness?"

W187L9 "The great illusion of the fear of God diminishes to nothingness before the purity that you will look on here."

W187L10 "Now are we one in thought, for fear has gone."

W189L2 "Who could feel fear in such a world as this?"

W189L3 "It is so different from the world you see through darkened eyes of malice and of fear that one belies the other."

W190L3 "It demonstrates God is denied, confused with fear, perceived as mad and seen as traitor to Himself."

W190L3 "For vengeance is not part of love, and fear, denying love and using pain to prove that God is dead, has shown that death is victor over life."

W190L7 "Your thoughts of death envelop it in fear, while in your kind forgiveness does it live."

W190L8 "In pain does fear appear to triumph over love, and time replace eternity and Heaven."

W190L9 "Lay down all thoughts of danger and of fear."

W192L4 "Forgiveness is the means by which the fear of death is overcome because it holds no fierce attraction now, and guilt is gone."

W192L5 "What fears could still assail those who have lost the source of all attack; the core of anguish and the seat of fear?"

W193L5 "These are the words which end the dream of sin, and rid the mind of fear."

W194L7 "What can he fear?"

W194L7 "For he who has escaped all fear of future pain has found his way to present peace, and certainty of care the world can never threaten."

W195L8 "The fear of God is now undone at last, and we forgive without comparing."

W196L5 "Yet it merely stood for the belief the fear of God is real."

W196L5 "Who could believe his Father is his deadly enemy, separate from him, and waiting to destroy his life and blot him from the universe, without the fear of hell upon his heart?"

W196L6 "The fear of God is real to anyone who thinks this thought is true."

W196L7 "To question it at all, its form must first be changed at least as much as will permit fear of retaliation to abate, and the responsibility returned to some extent to you."

W196L7 "Until this shift has been accomplished, you can not perceive that it is but your thoughts which bring you fear, and your deliverance depends on you."

W196L8 "For once you understand it is impossible that you be hurt except by your own thoughts, the fear of God must disappear."

W196L8 "You do not now believe that fear is caused without."

W196L9 "If it can but be you you crucify, you did not hurt the world and need not fear its vengeance and pursuit."

W196L9 "Nor need you hide in terror from the deadly fear of God projection hides behind."

W196L10 "When you realize, once and for all, that it is you you fear, the mind perceives itself as split."

W196L10 "It seemed to be an enemy outside you had to fear."

W196L10 "And thus a god outside yourself became your mortal enemy; the source of fear."

W196L11 "For fear of God has disappeared."

W196L11 "Step back from fear and make advance to love."

W196L12 "When the fear of God is gone, there are no obstacles which still remain between you and the holy peace of God."

W197L6 "And with the end of this belief is fear forever over."

W199L2 "Attack thoughts cannot enter such a mind, because it has been given to the Source of Love, and fear can never enter in a mind which has attached itself to Love."

W200L6 "Who could hope for more while there appears to be a choice to make between success and failure; love and fear?"

W225L1 "I must return It, for I want It mine in full awareness, blazing in my mind, and keeping it within Its kindly light, inviolate, beloved, with fear behind and only peace ahead."

W232L2 "Today practice the end of fear."

W240L1 "Fear is deception."

W240L1 "There is no fear in us, for we are each a part of Love Itself."

W240W32 "It symbolizes fear."

W240W32 "And what is fear except love's absence?"

W244L1 "How can he fear or doubt or fail to know he cannot suffer, be endangered, or experience unhappiness, when he belongs to You, beloved and loving, in the safety of Your Fatherly embrace?""

W259L1 "And what but this could be the source of fear, obscuring God's creation; giving love the attributes of fear and of attack?"

W260W53 "Like other dreams, it sometimes seems to picture happiness, but can quite suddenly revert to fear, where every dream is born."

W260W53 "For only love creates in truth, and truth can never fear."

W260W55 "Fear does not exist."

W265L1 "There is no fear in it."

W272L2 "And if we hear temptation call to us to stay and linger in a dream, we turn aside and ask ourselves if we, the Sons of God, could be content with dreams, when Heaven can be chosen just as easily as hell, and love will happily replace all fear."

W273L2 "What need have I to fear that anything can rob me of what You would have me keep?"

W274L2 "Give this day to Him and there will be no fear today, because the day is given unto Love."

W278L2 "I have had many foolish thoughts about myself and my creation, and have brought a dream of fear into my mind."

W278L2 "I choose the way to You instead of madness and instead of fear."

W280W72 "For sights and sounds must be translated from the witnesses of fear to those of love."

W282L2 "The name of fear is simply a mistake."

W287L1 "And would I rather live with fear than love?"

W290W81 "Your world is seen through eyes of fear, and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind."

W290W81 "The real world cannot be perceived except through eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a world where terror is impossible, and witnesses to fear can not be found."

W290W82 "The real world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your world; a sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle which your world contains."

W293L1 "All fear is past because its source is gone, and all its thoughts gone with it."

W293L2 "Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the world is singing underneath the sounds of fear."

W294L1 "And yet a neutral thing does not see death, for thoughts of fear are not invested there, nor is a mockery of love bestowed upon it."

W295L1 "Fear appears in many different forms, but love is one."

W298L1 "My gratitude permits my love to be accepted without fear."
