T18I10 "Go out and FIND them, for they bring your Self with them."

T18I11 "And your shining Self will lift the tiny aspect that you tried to hide from Heaven, straight into Heaven."

T18J1 "Therefore, it is the tiny part of your self, the little thought that seems split off and separate, that the Holy Spirit needs."

T19B8 "You freely choose to OVERLOOK his errors, looking PAST all barriers between your self and his, and seeing them AS ONE."

T19C4 "PURITY is seen as arrogance, and the acceptance of the self AS SINFUL is perceived as holiness."

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."

T20D11 "And here would I unite with you, my friends, my brothers, and my Self."

T21D1 "You may attempt to KEEP the bargain in the name of fairness, sometimes demanding payment of your self, perhaps more often of the other."

T21F3 "And, if you place your faith in them, you will perceive ANOTHER Self in YOU."

T21F4 "This other self sees miracles as natural."

T21F4 "This other self is PERFECTLY aware of this."

T21F5 "Reason lies in the other self you have CUT OFF from your awareness."

T21G10 "Yet what is there that could be nearer you, than is your Self?"

T22B5 "Here is the ONE emotion that keeps you blind, dependent on the self you think you made, to lead you through the world it made for you."

T22B10 "Rather, in each, the other saw a perfect shelter where his Self could be reborn in safety and in peace."

T22B11 "And truth came instantly to show you where your self MUST be."

T22C9 "ONLY if it were possible the Son of God could LEAVE his Father's Mind, make himself DIFFERENT, and OPPOSE His Will, would it be possible that the self he made, and all IT made, should be his master."

T22E9 "And only an illusion stands between you and the holy Self you share."

T23C12 "And you attack only in self defense."

T24B3 "For who could hate someone whose Self is his, and which He KNOWS?"

T24C8 "But ONLY you, to save his specialness, and kill his Self."

T24C13 "For it DEMANDS a special place God cannot enter, and a hiding-place where none is welcome but your tiny self."

T24F7 "His perfect LACK of specialness He offers you, that you may save all living things from death, receiving from each one the gift of Life that your forgiveness offers to your Self."

T24G12 "The SACRIFICE of self you understand, nor do you deem THIS cost too heavy."

T25F2 "For you HAVE hurt yourself, and made your Self your enemy."

T25H14 "NOT for you alone, but for the Self which IS the Son of God."

T25I12 "The understanding that you need comes NOT of you, but from a larger Self, so great and holy that He COULD not doubt His innocence."

T26B1 "The little that the body fences off BECOMES the self, preserved through sacrifice of all the rest."

T26B2 "In THIS perception of your self the BODY's loss would be a sacrifice indeed."

T27C12 "And these two halves appear to represent a split within a self perceived as two."

T27C13 "Consider how this self perception MUST extend, and do not overlook the fact that EVERY thought extends, because that is its purpose, being what it really IS."

T27C13 "From an idea of self AS TWO, there comes a NECESSARY view of function split BETWEEN the two."

T27C14 "This is your brother, focus of your hate, unworthy to be part of you, and thus OUTSIDE your self, the other half, which is denied."

T27C15 "His INABILITY to see His goal divided and distinct for each of you preserves your Self from being made aware of any function OTHER than Its Own."

T28D7 "And, in your storehouse, it will make a place of welcome for your Father and your Self."

T28E5 "You share confusion, and you ARE confused, for in the gap no stable self exists."

T28F1 "And thus is sickness separating OFF the self from good, and KEEPING evil there."

T28F3 "And you WILL deny your Self, and walk upon an alien ground which your Creator did not make, and where you seem to be a "something" you are not."

T28F3 "You WILL make war upon your Self, Which SEEMS to be your enemy, and WILL attack your brother, as a part of what you hate."

T28F3 "You are your Self, or an illusion."

T28F4 "You have conceived a little gap between illusions and the truth to be the place where all your safety lies, and where your Self is safely hidden by what you have made."

T28G4 "You hate it, yet you think it IS your self, and that, WITHOUT it, would your self be lost."

T29B5 "Would you ALLOW the body to say "No" to Heaven's calling, were you not afraid to find a LOSS of self in finding God?"

T29B5 "And CAN your Self be lost by being found?"

T29C8 "He must sacrifice your self, and in His sacrifice are YOU made more, and He is lessened by the loss of you."

T29I2 "In some way you believe they will complete your little self, and let you walk in safety in a world perceived as dangerous, with forces massed against your confidence and peace of mind."

T29I2 "And thus must seek BEYOND his little self for strength to raise his head and stand apart from all the misery the world reflects."

T29J2 "Nor CAN he know the Self he has condemned."

T31A6 "His simple lessons in forgiveness have a power mightier than yours, because they call from God and from your Self to you."

T31E1 "The learning of the world is built upon a concept of the self adjusted to the world's reality."

T31E1 "The building of a concept of the self is what the learning of the world is FOR."

T31E1 "This is its purpose; that you come WITHOUT a self, and MAKE one as you go along."

T31E1 "A concept of the self is made by YOU."

T31E2 "The concept of the self the world would teach is not the thing that it appears to be."

T31E3 "The face of innocence the concept of the self so proudly wears can tolerate attack in self-defense, for is it not a well-known fact the world deals harshly with defenseless innocence?"

T31E4 "Beneath the face of innocence there is a lesson that the concept of the self was made to teach."

T31E4 "On this conception of the self the world smiles with approval, for it guarantees the pathways of the world are safely kept, and those who walk on them will not escape."

T31E7 "A concept of the self is meaningless, for no-one here can see what it is for, and therefore cannot picture what it IS."

T31E7 "Now must the Holy Spirit find a way to help you see this concept of the self must be undone, if ANY peace of mind is to be given you."

T31E7 "For otherwise, you would be asked to make exchange of what you now believe for total loss of self."

T31E10 "Your concept of the world DEPENDS upon this concept of the self."

T31E11 "This shifts the concept of the self from what is wholly passive, and at least makes way for active choice, and some acknowledgment that interaction must have entered in."

T31E12 "Something must have gone BEFORE these concepts of the self."

T31E13 "The concept of the self has always been the great preoccupation of the world."

T31E13 "And vaguely does the concept of the self appear to answer what it does not know."

T31E14 "Seek not your Self in symbols."

T31E14 "What matters it which concept you accept, while you perceive a self which interacts with evil, and reacts to wicked things?"

T31E14 "The concept of the self embraces all you look upon, and NOTHING is outside of this perception."

T31E15 "You will make many concepts of the self as learning goes along."

T31E16 "Where concepts of the self have been laid by is truth revealed exactly as it is."

T31F5 "One vision, clearly seen, that does not fit the picture as it was perceived before, will change the world for eyes that learn to see BECAUSE THE CONCEPT OF THE SELF HAS CHANGED."

T31G7 "The concept of the self stands like a shield, a silent barricade before the truth, and hides it from your sight."

T31G12 "Whatever form temptation seems to take, it ALWAYS but reflects a wish to be a self that you are not."

T31G12 "And while you cherish it, you will behold your brother in the likeness of the self whose image has the wish begot of YOU."

T31H3 "His strength is yours because He is the Self that God created as His ONLY Son."

W49L3 "We will try actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your Self."

W63L4 "And who but your Self must be His Son?"

W67L3 "If Love created you like Itself this Self must be in you."

W67L6 "This is the Voice for God, reminding you of your Father and of your Self."

W68L1 "You who were created by Love like Itself can hold no grievances and know your Self."

W68L2 "Shut off from your Self, Who remains aware of His likeness to His Creator, your Self seems to sleep, while the part of your mind that weaves illusions in its sleep appears to be awake."

W68L8 "Let me not betray my Self.""

W68L8 "I would wake to my Self by laying all my grievances aside and wakening in Him.""

W72L8 "To see our Self as separate from the body is to end the attack on God's plan for salvation, and to accept it instead."

W73L2 "Beholding them, you do not know your brothers nor your Self."

W73L10 "Then let your will assert itself, joined with the power of God and united with your Self."

W82L5 "I would not forget my function because I would remember my Self."

W84L2 "I will worship no idols, nor raise my own self-concepts to replace my Self."

W84L5 "If I hold grievances I am attacking love, and therefore attacking my Self."

W84L5 "My Self thus becomes alien to me."

W84L5 "I am determined not to attack my Self today, so that I can remember who I am."

W84L6 "These specific forms for applying this idea would be helpful: "This is no justification for denying my Self.""

W92L4 "It brings the light in which your Self appears."

W92L4 "In darkness you perceive a self that is not there."

W92L8 "Strength and light unite in you, and where they meet your Self stands ready to embrace you as Its own."

W92L8 "Such is the meeting place we try today to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your Self, His Son, is waiting now to meet Itself again, and be as One."

W92L9 "Let yourself be brought unto your Self."

W92L9 "Leave, then, the dark a little while today, and we will practice seeing in the light, closing the body's eyes, and asking truth to show us how to find the meeting place of self and Self, where light and strength are one."

W93L5 "The self you made is not the Son of God."

W93L5 "Therefore this self does not exist at all."

W93L5 "What power can this self you made possess, when it would contradict the Will of God?"

W93L6 "The self you made, evil and full of sin, is meaningless."

W93L9 "One Self is true; the other is not there."

W93L9 "Try to experience the unity of your One Self."

W93L9 "Try not to interfere with the Self Which God created as you by hiding Its majesty behind the tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace It."

W94L3 "This is the Self Which never sinned, nor made an image to replace reality."

W94L3 "This is the Self Which never left Its home in God, to walk the world uncertainly."

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

W95L2 "Such is your version of your self; a self divided into many warring parts, separated from God, and tenuously held together by its erratic and capricious maker, to which you pray."

W95L3 "We will again direct our exercises toward reaching your One Self, which is united with Its Creator."

W95L11 "They are attempts to keep you unaware you are One Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace."

W95L11 "Begin the longer practice periods with this assurance, given to your mind with all the certainty that you can give: "I am One Self, united with my Creator, At one with every aspect of creation, And limitless in power and in peace.""

W95L12 "Then close your eyes and tell yourself again, slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the meaning of the words to sink into your mind, replacing false ideas: "I am One Self.""

W95L12 "You are One Self, united and secure in light and joy and peace."

W95L12 "You are God's Son, One Self with One Creator and one goal; to bring awareness of this Oneness to all minds, that true creation may extend the Allness and the Unity of God."

W95L13 "You are One Self, complete and healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the world, and let the light in you come through to teach the world the truth about itself."

W95L13 "You are One Self, in perfect harmony with all there is and all that there will be."

W95L13 "You are One Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in this Self; united with your Father in His Will."

W95L14 "Feel this One Self in you, and let It shine away all your illusions and your doubts."

W95L14 "This is your Self, the Son of God Himself, sinless as Its Creator, with His strength within you, and His Love forever yours."

W95L14 "You are One Self, and it is given you to feel this Self within you, and to cast all your illusions out of the One Mind Which is this Self, the holy truth in you."

W95L16 "Your own acknowledgment you are One Self, united with your Father, is a call to all the world, to be at one with you."

W95L17 "To everyone you meet today be sure to give the promise of today's idea, and tell him this: "You are One Self with me, United with our Creator in this Self."

W96L1 "Although you are One Self, you experience yourself as two; as both good and evil, loving and hating, mind and body."

W96L3 "The self you made can never be your Self, nor can your Self be split in two and still be what it is, and must forever be."

W96L7 "Your Self retains Its Thoughts, and They remain within your mind and in the Mind of God."

W96L8 "Thus is salvation kept among the Thoughts your Self holds dear and cherishes for you."

W96L8 "We will attempt today to find this Thought, Whose presence in your mind is guaranteed by Him Who speaks to you from your One Self."

W96L8 "Salvation comes from this One Self through Him Who is the bridge between your mind and It."

W96L9 "Wait patiently, and let Him speak to you about your Self, and what your mind can do, restored to It and free to serve Its Will."

W96L9 "Begin by saying this: "Salvation comes from my One Self."

W96L10 "Your Self will welcome it, and give it peace."

W96L10 "Confusion done, you are restored, for you have found your Self."

W96L11 "Your Self knows that you cannot fail today."

W96L11 "The joy your Self experiences, It will save for you, and it will yet be yours in full awareness."

W96L11 "Every time you spend five minutes of the hour seeking Him Who joins your mind and Self, you offer Him another treasure to be kept for you."

W96L12 "Each time today you tell your frantic mind salvation comes from your One Self, you lay another treasure in your growing store."

W97L2 "We state again the truth about your Self, the holy Son of God Who rests in you; Whose mind has been restored to sanity."

W97L9 "And He will speak to you, reminding you that you are Spirit, one with Him and God, your brothers and your Self."

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."

W99L11 "You do not want to be another self."

W100L9 "It is your Self who calls to you today."

W106L5 "He needs your voice to speak to them, for who could reach God's Son except his Father calling through your Self?"

W107L8 "It is your Self you ask to go with you, and how could He be absent where you are?"

W107L9 "His confidence is with you as you say: "Truth will correct all errors in my mind, And I will rest in Him who is my Self.""

W110L6 "Then, with this statement firmly in your mind, try to discover in your mind this Self Who is the holy Son of God Himself."

W110L7 "Today honor your Self."

W110L9 "And we will say, that we may be reminded of His Son, our holy Self, the Christ in each of us, "I am as God created me.""

W110R311 "Try, then, to take it with you in the business of the day, and make it holy, worthy of God's Son, acceptable to God and to your Self."

W113L1 "95) "I am One Self, united with my Creator.""

W113L1 "Serenity and perfect peace are mine Because I am One Self, completely whole, At one with all creation and with God."

W113L2 "96) "Salvation comes from my One Self.""

W113L2 "From my One Self, Whose knowledge still remains Within my mind, I see God's perfect plan For my salvation perfectly fulfilled."

W113L3 "On the hour: "I am One Self, united with my Creator.""

W113L4 "On the half hour: "Salvation comes from my One Self.""

W119L1 "I am God's Son, Whose Self rests safely in the Mind of God."

W121L6 "As sin was an idea you taught yourself, forgiveness must be learned by you as well, but from a Teacher other than yourself, who represents the other Self in you."

W121L6 "Through Him you learn how to forgive the self you think you made, and let it disappear."

W121L6 "Thus you return your mind as one to Him Who is your Self, and Who can never sin."

W123L2 "Be grateful He has saved you from the self you thought you made to take the place of Him and His creation."

W123L8 "Remember hourly to think of Him, and give Him thanks for everything He gave His Son, that he might rise above the world remembering His Father and his Self."

W124L11 "Add further jewels to the golden frame that holds the mirror offered you today by hourly repeating to yourself: "Let me remember I am one with God, At one with all my brothers and my Self, In everlasting holiness and peace.""

W125L8 "In quiet listen to your Self today, and let Him tell you God has never left His Son, and you have never left your Self."

W127L5 "Seek not within the world to find your Self."

W127L11 "We will remember them throughout the day because we cannot leave a part of us outside our love, if we would know our Self."

W128L3 "All things you seek to make your value greater in your sight limit you further, hide your worth from you, and add another bar across the door that leads to true awareness of your Self."

W132L1 "And what can save the world except your Self?"

W132L10 "What is the lesson for today except another way of saying that to know your Self is the salvation of the world?"

W135L9 "The "self" that needs protection is not real."

W136L2 "Like all defenses, it is an insane device for self deception."

W136L4 "But afterwards your plan requires that you must forget you made it, so it seems to be external to your own intent; a happening beyond your state of mind, an outcome with a real effect on you, instead of one effected by your self."

W137L1 "It becomes a door that closes on a separate self, and keeps it isolated and alone."

W137L2 "For it seems to keep one self apart from all the rest, to suffer what the others do not feel."

W137L3 "But healing is his own decision to be one again, and to accept his Self with all its parts intact and unassailed."

W137L3 "In sickness does his Self appear to be dismembered and without the unity which gives It life."

W137L12 "You but invite your Self to be at home, and can this invitation be refused?"

W137L14 "And I would share my healing with the world, That sickness may be banished from the mind Of God's One Son, Who is my only Self.""

W151L13 "In everyone and everything His Voice would speak to you of nothing but your Self and your Creator, Who is One with Him."

W152L8 "And it will take the place of self deceptions made but to usurp the altar to the Father and the Son."

W152L11 "Then will we wait in silence, giving up all self-deceptions as we humbly ask our Self that He reveal Himself to us."

W152L12 "In patience wait for Him throughout the day, and hourly invite Him with the words with which the day began, concluding it with this same invitation to your Self."

W154L4 "So is its Self the one Reality in Which its will and That of God are joined."

W155L13 "You will not fail your brothers nor your Self."

W157L3 "This you will learn to do increasingly, as every lesson, faithfully rehearsed, brings you more swiftly to this holy place and leaves you, for a moment, to your Self."

W160L1 "What is your Self remains an alien to the part of you which thinks that it is real but different from yourself."

W160L6 "For in his home his Self remains."

W160L7 "Is he not the one your Self calls not?"

W160L7 "Yet is your Self as certain of Its Own as God is of His Son."

W160L10 "Who denies his brother is denying Him, and thus refusing to accept the gift of sight by which his Self is clearly recognized, his home remembered, and salvation come."

W164L2 "Christ answers for you, echoing your Self, using your voice to give His glad consent; accepting your deliverance for you."

W166L7 "This is your chosen self, the one you made as a replacement for reality."

W166L7 "This is the self you savagely defend against all reason, every evidence, and all the witnesses with proof to show this is not you."

W166L7 "You go on your appointed way, with eyes cast down lest you might catch a glimpse of truth, and be released from self deception and set free."

W166L9 "Perhaps He has not wholly been outwitted by your plan to keep His Son in deep oblivion, and go the way you chose without your Self."

W166L10 "It is not God you have imprisoned in your plan to lose your Self."

W167L12 "For the wakened mind is one that knows its Source, its Self, its Holiness."

W170R54 "Each one but clarifies some aspect of this thought, or helps it be more meaningful, more personal and true, and more descriptive of the holy Self we share and now prepare to know again: "God is but Love, and therefore so am I.""

W170R54 "This Self alone knows love."

W170R54 "This Self alone is perfectly consistent in Its thoughts; knows Its Creator, understands Itself, is perfect in Its knowledge and Its love, and never changes from Its constant state of union with Its Father and Itself."

W170R55 "Let us raise our hearts from dust to life as we remember This is promised us, and that this course was sent to open up the path of light to us, and teach us, step by step, how to return to the Eternal Self we thought we lost."

W170R59 "The Self from Which I call to you is but your Own."

W181L1 "Rather, they are magnified, becoming blocks to your awareness of the Self that lies beyond your own mistakes, and past his seeming sins as well as yours."

W181L9 "And our love for everyone we look upon attests to our remembrance of the holy Self Which knows no sin, and never could conceive of anything without Its sinlessness."

W182L5 "Repeat the Name of God and call upon your Self, Whose Name is His."

W183L2 "Yet who in simple honesty, without defensiveness and self deception, would deny he understands the words we speak?"

W187L10 "Not separate from Him Who is our Source; not distant from one brother who is part of our one Self Whose innocence has joined us all as one, we stand in blessedness and give as we received."

W190L6 "Your Self is radiant in this holy joy, unchanged, unchanging and unchangeable forever and forever."

W192L1 "It is your Father's holy Will that you complete Himself and that your Self shall be His sacred Son, forever pure as He, of love created and in love preserved, extending love, creating in its Name, forever one with God and with your Self."

W195L8 "When your forgiveness is complete you will have total gratitude, for you will see that everything has earned the right to love by being loving, even as your Self."

W197L6 "Thank your Self for this, for He is grateful only unto God, and He gives thanks for you unto Himself."

W197L7 "Thanks be to you, the holy Son of God, for as you were created you contain all things within your Self."

W197L8 "Be you free of all ingratitude to anyone who makes your Self complete."

W197L8 "And from this Self is no one left outside."

W197L8 "Give thanks for all the countless channels that extend this Self."

W198L3 "It is a dream in which the Son of God awakens to his Self and to his Father knowing They are One."

W198L8 "The stillness of your Self remains unmoved, untouched by thoughts like these, and unaware of any condemnation which could need forgiveness."

W201L1 "I am blessed with oneness with the universe and God, my Father, One Creator of the Whole that is my Self, forever One with me."

W211L1 "In silence and in true humility I seek God's glory, to behold it in the Son whom He created as my Self."

W217L1 "And how but through salvation can I find the Self to Whom my thanks are due?"

W230L1 "It is not given me to change my Self."

W237L2 "Father, I come to You through Him Who is Your Son and my true Self as well."

W238L1 "And I must be steadfast in holiness as well, that You would give Your Son to me in certainty that He is safe Who still is part of You, and yet is mine because He is my Self.""

W245L1 "For I would save Your Son, as is Your Will, that I may come to recognize my Self.""

W246L1 "Let me not try to hurt God's Son and think that I can know his Father or my Self."

W247L2 "Your Fatherhood created them, and gave them all to me as part of You and my own Self as well."

W247L2 "Today I honor You through them, and thus I hope this day to recognize my Self.""

W252L1 "My Self is holy beyond all the thoughts of holiness of which I now conceive."

W252L1 "How far beyond this world my Self must be, and yet how near to me and close to God."

W253L1 "For thus am I led past this world to my creations, children of my Will, in Heaven where my holy Self abides with them, and Him Who has created me."

W253L2 ""You are the Self Whom You created Son, creating like Yourself and one with You."

W253L2 "My Self, Which rules the universe, is but Your Will in perfect union with my own, Which can but offer glad assent to Yours, that It may be extended to Itself.""

W260W51 "The body is a fence the Son of God imagines he has built to separate parts of his Self from other parts."

W261L2 "I choose to be as You created me, and find the Son whom You created as my Self.""

W266L1 "In them are You reflected, and in them does Christ look back upon me from my Self."

W266L2 "This day we enter into paradise, calling upon God's Name and on our own, acknowledging our Self in each of us; united in the holy Love of God."

W268L1 "For thus will I be able, too, to recognize my Self as You created me."

W269L2 "We share one vision, as we look upon the face of Him Whose Self is ours."

W270W61 "He is the Self we share, uniting us with one another, and with God as well."

W270W62 "For though in Him His Father placed the means for your salvation, yet does He remain the Self Who, like His Father, knows no sin."

W270W63 "Yet will these dreams be given unto Christ to fade before His glory, and reveal your holy Self, the Christ, to you at last."

W270W65 "As we behold His glory, will we know we have no need of learning or perception or of time, or anything except the holy Self, the Christ Whom God created as His Son."

W276L1 "Deny we were created in His Love and we deny our Self, to be unsure of who we are, of who our Father is, and for what purpose we have come."

W276L1 "And yet, we need but to acknowledge Him Who gave His Word to us in our creation, to remember Him and so recall our Self."

W278L1 "If I am bound in any way, I do not know my Father or my Self."

W282L1 "And this the choice to recognize the Self Whom God created as the Son He loves, and Who remains my one Reality."

W286L2 "We trust in Him, and in our Self, Who still is one with Him."

W303L2 "He has come to save me from the evil self I made."

W303L2 "He is the Self that You have given me."

W303L2 "He is my Self as You created me."

W319L2 "And what but this could be the Will my Self has shared with You?""

W322L1 "And every dream serves only to conceal the Self Which is God's only Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One Who still abides in Him forever, as He still abides in me."

W330L1 "The Self Which God created cannot sin, and therefore cannot suffer."

W330W121 "The ego is idolatry; the sign of limited and separated self, born in a body, doomed to suffer and to end its life in death."

W335L2 "In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as well.""

W337L1 "And I must learn I need do nothing of myself, for I need but accept my Self, my sinlessness, created for me, now already mine, to feel God's Love protecting me from harm, to understand my Father loves His Son; to know I am the Son my Father loves."

W354L1 "I have no self except the Christ in me."

W358L1 "Let me not forget myself is nothing, but my Self is All.""
