No one can grieve, nor fear, nor think him sick, unless these are the outcomes t hat he wants. And no one dies without his own consent. Nothing occurs but represents your wish and nothing is omitted that you choose. The Holy Spirit guides you into life eternal, but you must relinquish your investment in death, or you will not see life though it is all around you. Give truth its due, and it will give you yours. You were not meant to suffer and to die. Your Father wills these dreams gone. Let truth correct them all. There is no death because what God created shares His Life. There is no death because an opposite to God does not exist. Why wait for Heaven? Those who seek the Light are merely covering their eyes. The Light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all. All power is of God. What is not of Him has no power to do anything. "I am as God created me." In this one thought is all the past undone; the present saved to quietly extend into a timeless future. I am in the likeness of my Creator. I cannot suffer I cannot experience loss and I cannot die. I am not a body. Love created me like Itself. Let me remember I am one with God. Our shining footprints point the way to truth, for God is our Companion as we walk the world a little while. No miracle can ever be denied to those who know that they are one with God. Nothing beyond yourself can make you fearful or loving because nothing is beyond you. Those who see themselves as whole make no demands. Whenever you question your value, say: "God Himself is incomplete without me." You are the work of God, and His work is wholly lovable and wholly loving. This is how a man must think of himself in his heart, because this is what he is . You cannot know your own perfection until you have honoured all those who were c reated like you. You who perceive yourself as weak and frail, born but to die, to weep and suffer pain, hear this: All power is given unto you in earth and Heaven. There is nothing you cannot do.

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. Nothing occurs but represents your wish and nothing is omitted that you choose.

The Holy Spirit guides you into life eternal,but you must relinquish your investment in death,or you will not see life though it is all around you.

Give truth its due, and it will give you yours.You were not meant to suffer and to die.Your Father wills these dreams gone.Let truth correct them all.

There is no death because what God created shares His Life.There is no death because an opposite to God does not exist.

Why wait for Heaven?Those who seek the Light are merely covering their eyes.The Light is in them now.Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all.

All power is of God.What is not of Him has no power to do anything.

"I am as God created me."In this one thought is all the past undone;the present saved to quietly extend into a timeless future.

I am in the likeness of my Creator.I cannot sufferI cannot experience loss and I cannot die.I am not a body.Love created me like Itself.

Let me remember I am one with God.Our shining footprints point the way to truth,for God is our Companion as we walk the world a little while.

No miracle can ever be denied to those who know that they are one with God.

Nothing beyond yourself can make you fearful or loving because nothing is beyond you.

Those who see themselves as whole make no demands.

Whenever you question your value, say: "God Himself is incomplete without me."

You are the work of God, and His work is wholly lovable and wholly loving. This is how a man must think of himself in his heart, because this is what he is.

You cannot know your own perfection until you have honoured all those who were created like you.

You who perceive yourself as weak and frail, born but to die,to weep and suffer pain, hear this:All power is given unto you in earth and Heaven.There is nothing you cannot do.

If you want to be like me...I will help you, knowing that we are alike.If you want to be different...I will wait until you change your mind.

God will never decide against youor He would be deciding against Himself.

Only happy sights and sounds can reach the mind that has forgiven itself.

Realize that your part (in God's plan) is to be happy.Only this is asked of you or anyonewho wants to take his place among God's messengers.

Every loving thought is true.Everything else is an appeal for healing and help,regardless of the form it takes.

Healing is accomplished the instant the suffererno longer sees any value in pain.

Illness is some form of external searching.Health is inner peace.

The acceptance of peace is the denial of illusion,and sickness is an illusion.

There is nothing the power of God cannot do.Your holiness, then, can remove all pain,can end all sorrow, and can solve all problems.

When you are sad know this need not be.Depression comes from a sense of being deprivedof something you want and do not have.Remember that you are deprived of nothingexcept by your own decisionand then decide otherwise.

All your past except its beauty is gone, and nothing is left but a blessing.

Everything you perceive is a witness tothe thought systems you want to be true.

"God is in everything I see."This explains why nothing is separate, by itself or in itself.

It is impossible to see what you do not believe.

Let me recognize my problems have been solved.

Never forget, you but give to yourself.Who understands what giving means, must laugh at the idea of sacrifice.

It takes great learning to understand thatall things, events, encounters and circumstances are helpful.

Perception is consistent. What you see reflects your thinking.And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want to see.

Remember that no one is where he is by accident

and chance plays no part in God's plan.

Seek not to change the world,but choose to change your mind about the world.What you see reflects your thinking.And your thinking but reflects your choice of what you want to see.

There is no world apart from what you wish, and herein lies your ultimate release. Change but your mind on what you want to see and all the world must change accordingly. Ideas leave not their source.

Those who forgive are releasing themselves from illusions, while those who withhold forgiveness are binding themselves to them. As you condemn only yourself, so do you forgive only yourself.

Truth is always abundant.Those who perceive and acknowledge that they have everythinghave no needs of any kind.

What you acknowledge in your brotheryou are acknowledging in yourself,and what you share you strengthen.

What you perceive in others you are strengthening in yourself.

When you meet anyone, remember it is a holy encounter.As you see him you will see yourself.As you treat him you will treat yourself.As you think of him you will think of yourself.Never forget this, for in him you will find yourselfor lose yourself.

You are not the victim of the world you see because you invented it.You can give it up as easily as you made it up.

You will be told exactly what God wills for youeach time there is a choice to make.

Your passage through time and space is not at random.You cannot but be in the right place at the right time.Such is the strength of God.

God is but Love, and therefore so am I.

Love cannot judge.As it is one itself, it looks on all as one. Its meaning lies in oneness.There is no love but God's and all of love is His.

Love is a law without an opposite.There is no love but God's, and what He is, is everything there is.

Love waits on welcome, not on time.

Only love is strong because it is undivided.

Surrounding me is all the life that God created in His Love.It calls to me in every heartbeat and in every breathin every action and in every thought.

Teach only love, for that is what you are.

The fact that God is Love does not require beliefbut it does require acceptance.

There is no fear in perfect love.

You cannot understand how much your Father loves you,for there is no parallel in your experience of the worldto help you understand it.

Your task is not to seek for love,but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourselfthat you have build against it.

I am not a body. I am free, for I am still as God created me.All that I do, I do unto myself.If I attack, I suffer. But if I forgive, salvation will be given me.

It is impossible to remember God in secret and alone.For remembering Him means you are not aloneand are willing to remember it.

It is not up to you to change your brotherbut merely to accept him as he is.

Lift up your eyes and look on one another in innocenceborn of complete forgiveness of each other's illusions.

To forgive is to overlook.

To have, give all to all.

When you have learned how to decide with Godall decisions become easy and as right as breathing.

God is very quiet, for there is no conflict in Him

"I want the peace of God."To say these words is nothing. But to mean these words is everything.No one can mean these words and not be healed.

Learn to be quiet in the midst of turmoilfor quietness is the end of strife, and this is the journey to peace.

Look with peace upon your brothersand God will come rushing into your heartin gratitude for your gift to Him.

My peace I give you.

Nothing can destroy your peace of mind becauseGod goes with you wherever you go.

Peace is an attribute IN you. You cannot find it outside.

Peace is yours because God created you.

To have peace, teach peace to learn it.
