If..your will..is..*out of accord/with
God’s,..YOU ARE..WILLING..creation..WITHOUT MEANING...uses... But because..ONLY God’s-will is/unchangeable,.. no REAL conflict..of will's..is possible. This is/the..Holy Spirit’s perfectly/consistent teaching. <..unified-Creation,..not..separation,..IS your will..BECAUSE it/is reflection..of God’s...And/nothing..that opposes/this..means anything at/all. by..Being..a perfect..Accomplishment,/the..Sunship..can only accomplish/perfectly,..EXTENDING/the joy..in which/it was created,.. and/by..identifying itself..with*both..its Creator and its..creations,..*KNOWING..they/are..One. Whenever/you deny..a blessing/to..an/other,..YOU will/feel deprived. This is..because..the/lack[unmet/need]..[denial]..is as total..as love..i complete.[replete].. It is/as..impossible..to/deny part..ANY of..the Sonship.,.as it/is..to love..it..only..in/part. Nor..is it/possible..or even/preferable..to love/it..totally AT TIMES...know..You CANNOT be/totally committed..all/the-time/let.. alone..just/SOMETIMES. Remember..a very/early lesson, “never underestimate...the power of..the/denial.” It/has..no power[in ITSELF,]..but YOU/can give..it the power/of YOUR mind,..whose power/is without limit..of ANY kind. If you..ab-use it..to deny reality,..then..by/that..reality is gone FOR YOU. REALITY..CANNOT BE..only..PARTLY APPRECIATED...That is/why by..denying..any part/of it means..you have lost..the..awareness of ALL/of..it. That..is/he negative-side..of the law as it operates..in this world... But denial/is a..defense,..and so/it-is..as capable of being/used positively..[constructively]..as..it/is of..being used..destructively. Used negatively,/it..WILL be..destructive, because it/will..be used/for attack.[seeking..to..hurt/other. But..in the/service..of..the Holy/Spirit,..the..whole/of..the law becomes..as beneficent[self-sufficient/beneficial/e'ficiency]..as all/of.the laws..of God...are. when/re-Stated..positively,..the law requires/you only to..recognize PART/of reality..to appreciate..*ALL of it.

When a brother..acts..irrationally,..he is offering..you an opportunity/to..bless him...[*..His/need is YOURS...} YOU heed..the blessing..only..you can/offer him.[immediacy] There..is no way/for you to..have it/nor/hold..it..EXCEPT by giving it...away. This IS..the law/of God,..and/it..HAS NO EXCEPTIONS. What/you deny..other..you LACK,in/yourself..not because..*it IS lacking,..*but because..you have/denied it..in another,..and therefore..are not..*aware/of..it in YOU.

And..what you WANT/to..*be..IS what..*you think/you are... *Therefore,..what you/WANT to..be determines every..response*....determines/reveals..ever step..you make.

ALL mis-illusions..about the Sonship..are DISPELLED together,.,.as they were/MADE..together...you..can/Teach no-one..that HE is/what..YOU do not..want..them..to be-come.

You..MADE..[opened/up/your..perception,..and
it MUST..remain/last..as long-as..you WANT it. all/Illusions..are..yet..investments... They will/last..as long-as..you value them. [Values..are relative,..*but..they are/powerful..because/they are MENTAL-judgments...implying..a lack..now/filled]. The..only way..to dispel/illusions..is to/withdraw ..ALL investment from/them,..and they will..HAVE no life/for..you because you/have put them..OUT OF YOUR MIND...[While you..include them/IN it,..you are GIVING*them..life.] Except/that..there/is nothing..really/there..to receive/your gift. The gift..of life..IS yours/to give,..because..it/was..given YOU..FULLY/completely/eternally. You..are..seemingly..un*aware..of/YOUR..gift BECAUSE you/do..not give..it's presence..back/to..other. You CANNOT..make*..nothing..to/live,..because it [no-thing]..is really..there..thus..cannot..BE enlivened. Therefore,..you/have*NOT..extended...the gift..you both..definably /have..and..are,..and so/you..do NOT/know..your..truer/being.

You..ARE..
by..the will..of God...alone. Do..not accept/anything-else..AS..of/YOUR will,..or you/ARE denying..what you/are...simply..by/seeking..ways/means...to/Deny THIS and..you/WILL..RE-attack,.. simply..because.you believe/you..have..BEEN attacked. But..when/we..see/..the..fruits/of..love..of/God in you,..and..then..you will see/it..everywhere[because/it IS everywhere.] See..His abundance../attention/to-de/tail..in everyone, and..you will/soon..know..that you/are..in Him/WITH them. They..are..as/much..part of you as you/are..part..of God... if/YOU..are/..as lonely..without/understanding..this/ as God Himself..is lonely..[when..His..OWN/created-Sons..do not/know Him.}.. The peace/of God..lies..IS understanding/this. There..is.only/one-way..out/of..the world’s/materialist/limited-thinking,..just as/there..was/is..only one way/INTO it. Understand totally by understanding TOTALITY. to/Perceive..of..ANY..of..part of/the ego’s thought..system..as wholly/in-sane,..wholly delusional, and wholly/undesirable,..and you/have CORRECTLY..EVALUATED/ALL..OF IT. This..partial/correction..enables you/to perceive..ANY part/of Creation..as wholly-real,..wholly/perfect,..and WHOLLY/DESIRABLE. Wanting this/ONLY,..you will/HAVE..this only, and ..by..giving this/only,..you will-BE..only this. The gifts..you/offer..up-to..the ego are ALWAYS..experienced..as sacrifices. But..the gifts/you offer..to the/Kingdom..are gifts/to YOU. They..will always/be..treasured by God..because/they/belong..to His Beloved/Sons..who/too..belong..un/to Him. All power..and glory..are..yours because..the Kingdom..of eternal/living powers..is His. We once/said..that without..permittivity/emotive/projection there can/be..no anger,..but/it..is also.true that/without ..pro-jection..there can/be..no love. Projection..is/a..fundamental law/of..the mind,..and..therefore/ one..which..*ALWAYS operates...It..is/the law..by which/you create and..were/created. It is/the law..which unifies..the Kingdom and keeps/it..in the mind/of God. To the/ego,..the law/is perceived..as a..way of getting/RID..of something..it does/NOT want. To the/Holy Spirit,..it is/the fundamental law of sharing,..by which..*you give/what..you value..to other..in order/to keep..it,,alive/fresh/active....with-in..your OWN minds. Projection..to/the...Holy Spirit..re-in/forces..is seemingly..a violation..of/the law..of extension[growth]. To the ego,..it is/the law..of/deprivation. [opposing..the logic of energy conservation].. It therefore..produces abundance/or scarcity, depending-on..how/you choose..to apply it...This choice IS up/to you,..*but it/is NOT..up to you..[to decide whether/or not you/will UTILIZE..its extensive/projection]. Every mind..*MUST project,..because..its/by..that expectation [forward projecting..is/means..that is how/it lives,..and every mind..IS life...seeking/the means..toachieve its wants. The ego’s..use of.projection..must-be..fully understood before..the INEVITABLE/association ..between..the/projection and ..the..anger/can.,.be..finally UN-made. The ego..ALWAYS tries/to pre-serve..conflict. It is/very in-genious..in..devising ways/which..SEEM to diminish/conflict..only because/it does\NOT..want you to find it..so intolerable..that you /will..INSIST on/giving..it up. Therefore,..it tries/to persuade..you that IT can free/you..OF conflict,..lest you/give IT-up..and free..YOUR*SELF. The ego,..simply..by/using..its own warped/version..of the laws of God,..ab-uses..the power of..the mind..ONLY to defeat/the mind’s..*real/purpose. It projects/conflict..FROM your mind..in-to OTHER minds, in..an attempt/to persuade..you ..that/you..*have gotten RID/of it. This has..a number/of..fallacies.. which may..not/be..so/easily-apparent. Strictly/speaking,..conflict can*not..BE projected, precisely BECAUSE..it cannot..be fully/usefully..shared. Any attempt to keep..PART of it..and get rid of ANOTHER/part..does not really..mean ANYTHING. Remember that a conflicted teacher..is a poor teacher..*AND A POOR/LEARNER. His lessons..are confused,..and/their..learning..are lean/mean so/the..transfer/..of honest-value..is..thus..severely..limited BY his/confusion..[but extreme/ex-ample].[cliche/touche] Posted by one under god, Friday, 29 November 2013 8:46:30 AM

A second fallacy..is the/idea..the you..*can GET RID
of something..you do/not want BY..giving it away. *GIVING it*..is how/you KEEP..it...The..mis-belief..that by giving..it OUT..[that]..you have/excluded..[emitted]..from WITHIN is/a..complete-distortion..of the power/of..creation../by-EXTENSION. That is why..those who/project..from the ego are vigilant..for/their..OWN safety...THEY*ARE AFRAID..THAT THEIR.. [imagined..omnipotent/PROJECTIONS..WILL RETURN..AND HURT THEM. [thinking..real..only..the demons/fears..of..the ego/beast-mind. [herd-mind...delusions...made/real.] They DO/believe..they have blotted/them out/of..their OWN minds, but they..also believe/they are..trying to creep/back INTO them. This is because..their projections..illusions..have NOT left/their own-minds,..and this,..in turn,..forces them/to engage..in compulsive activity/in order..NOT to..recognize this. You cannot..perpetuate an illusion..about.. *another WITHOUT..perpetuating it..about/yourself...There is no way/out.of this,..because it/is IMPOSSIBLE..to fragment the mind. To..fragment..is to break..into pieces, a bigger/but thus..more fragile..but/unrealized/un-real-whole that unifies..yet/the unbreakable..unseen/un-felt..that..even/ego-mind..CANNOT attack. The belief..that it CAN,..remains..a/fallacy..which the ego ALWAYS makes,..[that/which]..underlies its whole..use of herd/beast-mind..[permissibility..of-projection.]..This is/because it does..not understand..what the..supra[cloud]mind IS, and therefore does not..understand..you..knowing..what YOU are. Yet ITS existence..IS dependent..on your mind, because it..is..a BELIEF. The/ego..IS therefore..a confusion/in identification,..which never had..a consistent/model,..and..so/never developed consistently. It is/the distorted product..of the misapplication/of..the laws of God..by distorted minds/which are misusing/their own power. DO NOT BE AFRAID OF THE EGO...It DOES depend-on..your mind,..and as you.made/it..by believing..in it,..so you can..dispel..it by withdrawing/belief FROM it. Do NOT/project..the responsibility..for your belief/in it *onto ANYONE else,..or you will PRESERVE/the belief. When you/are willing to..accept sole responsibility..for the ego’s existence..of..YOURSELF,..you will have laid/aside all anger..and all attack,..because they/COME from an..attempt to..reject/PROJECT RESPONSIBILITY..FOR..YOUR OWN ERRORS. But..having ACCEPTED/the error as yours,.DO NOT..KEEP THEM...do/not..reeturn..to them.. Give them/over quickly..to the Holy Spirit..to be undone completely,..[dont dwell/in..them/..*nor..try to rationalize..that not/sane. so that/ALL their effects..will vanish from..your minds..and..that..from the/Sonship..AS A WHOLE...He will teach you to..perceive..BEYOND belief,..because truth IS/beyond belief and His perception..IS true. The ego..can be/completely forgotten..at ANY time,..because it was always..a belief that/is totally..incredible. No-one..can KEEP..a belief that/..he has judged..to be..unbelievable. The/more..you learn..ABOUT the ego,..the more/ you realize..that it/cannot..BE believed. The..incredible..cannot/BE understood because..it..truly..IS unbelievable.[its not..remotly/creditable] The utter..meaning-lessness/of ALL perception which comes..*from the unbelievable..MUST be apparent, but it/is NOT..beyond belief..because it was/made..BY..a..belief Posted by one under god, Friday, 29 November 2013 12:18:32 PM

The whole purpose of this course is to teach you that the ego is unbelievable and
will forever BE unbelievable. You who made the ego by BELIEVING the unbelievable CANNOT make this judgment alone. By accepting the Atonement for YOURSELF, you are deciding AGAINST the belief that you can BE alone, thus dispelling the idea of separation and affirming your true identification with the whole Kingdom as literally PART OF YOU. This identification is as beyond doubt as it is beyond belief. Your wholeness HAS no limits, because its being is in Infinity. Only you can limit your creative power, but God wills to release it. He no more wills you to deprive yourselves of YOUR creations than He wills to deprive Himself of His. Do not withhold your gifts to the Sonship, or you withhold yourself from God. Selfishness is of the ego but self-fulness is of the Soul because that is how He created it. The Holy Spirit is the part of the mind that lies between the ego and the Soul, mediating between them ALWAYS IN FAVOR OF THE SOUL. To the ego this is partiality, and it therefore responds as if it were the part that is being sided AGAINST. To the Soul this is truth, because it knows its own fulness and cannot conceive of ANY part from which it is excluded. The soul KNOWS that the consciousness of all its brothers is included in its own, as IT is included in God. The power of the whole Sonship AND OF ITS CREATOR is therefore its OWN fulness, rendering its Creation and its creating equally whole and equal in perfection. http://miraclevision.com/acim/urtext/acim-urtext-2003-upe-ready-edition.pdf page..176 The ego cannot prevail agains Posted by one under god, Saturday, 30 November 2013 10:53:01 AM

that..IT's../perception-ability...is not true.
If truth..is total,/the..UN-true..CANNOT exist..Commitment/to..either MUST/be total,..because they/cannot..co-exist[in/your minds].WITHOUT splitting them.
If they..cannot/coexist..in peace,[and..if/you..WANT peace,
you MUST/give..up the IDEA..of..co-existent/conflict..ENTIRELY,[and for ALL..TIME.]
This requires..attentive/vigilance..ONLY..as
long as..YOU DO/NOT..RECOGNIZE*..WHAT/IS TRUE.
While..you believe/that..two totally/contradictory..thought
systems..can/SHARE truth,..your need/for vigilance..is..constantly/ apparent.
Your minds/ARE..dividing..their allegiance..between
two/kingdoms,.and YOU a..re totally/committed..to neither.
Your identification/with..the Kingdom..is/totally beyond question except*by/you..[WHEN/YOU ARE..THINKING INSANELY>.
What you/are..is NOT..established.by..your perception,
and..is/NOT influenced..BY it/at..all...any/ALL perceived/problems in..identification..at ANY..*level/..ARE NOT..PROBLEMS/OF FACT...
But*they..ARE/problems..in UNDERSTANDING,..because/they MEAN..that/ you perceive..WHAT you/can understand..as..being..UP TO/YOU/TO DECIDE.
The ego..believes..THIS totally,
being..fully committed/TO it...*But..it is NOT TRUE...
The ego/is..therefore/totally committed to..UN*truth,..perceiving/in total contradiction..to..the Holy/Spirit..and to/the..knowledge of God.
You can/..be perceived..with meaning..*ONLY/by..the Holy Spirit, because..your being..IS/..of..the..sure/knowledge..of God.
ANY belief..that/you..accept which/is..APART..from/this WILL
obscure*..God’s voice..in/you,..and will/therefore..obscure..God TO you.
[..Unless you/perceive..His Creation truly,..you CANNOT/know the Creator,..because God..*and His..Creation..ARE*..NOT..SEPARATE.]
The Oneness..of/the Creator..and/the Creation..IS..of..your wholeness,..by..your/focused-sanity,..and..your..limitless power.
This limitless/power..is God’s-gift..to you,..because..it is
WHAT/YOU.ARE...If you/dissociate.;.your mind/..FROM..it,..you are mis-perceiving/the..most*powerful force..in/the universe..of thought AS*IF../it..were weak,..simply..because/you..do NOT/believe..YOU are part/of it.
as/Perceived..WITHOUT your/part..IN it,
God’s Creation..IS perceived/as weak,..and..
those..who SEE..them*selves..as weakened..DO..then/attack.
The attack..MUST be/blind,..because
there..is*..nothing..TO attack.
Therefore,..they..as/..make-up..images,..perceive them/as unworthy,
and..attack them*..for their..unworthiness...That is/all..the world of/the..ego is...<*NOTHING*>...It/has..no..higher/evolved-meaning...
It does/not exist..[beyond..a primitive/remnant/of herd instinct].. Do..not..TRY to understand..it,..because/if you..do you*are/believing that..it CAN..*be understood,..and..therefore..is capable of being appreciated..or resented..and..hated/despised and/loved.
yes/sure..This WOULD/justify..it,..but it*..CANNOT/BE justified...
YOU can-not..make the..wholy-meaning-LESS..even
partially..meaning-FUL...his can..ONLY be an in-[not]-sane attempt...
Allowing IN-sanity..to enter..your mind/mean s..that you/have not..judged sanity..AS/WHOLLY DESIRABLE...If you..WANT..*something else,..*you WILL..seek/to/MAKE..something else.
But..because..it/IS..something-else..it WILL/seek..occasioon
to/attack..your thought/system..and divide..your/allegiance.[from/other/unto-'self'.
You CANNOT create..in/this..divided state,..and..thus..you MUST be vigilant..AGAINST/this..divided state..because/..ONLY peace..CAN BE extended.
*Your/divided..minds ARE..blocking/the extension..of the
Kingdom,..and..its/extension..IS your joy.
If..you/do....not/extend..the Kingdom,..you are/NOT
thinking...with your/Creator..and creating..as He created.
In this..ego-self/depressing state,..the Holy/Spirit..reminds you gently..that you..are sad because/you are/not..fully-filling your function-honor-ary..as/co-creators..WITH God,..and..are therefore depriving/YOURSELVES..*of joy.
This is/not..of..God’s will,..but YOURS.
