should breathe..lifes/miracles..into his soul..somewhat of that divine love..which emanates..ever so freely..even/from fellow/Deity;

alas! that/it should..have become..the battle-ground/for sects

All utterances..of spirits[egro/ego]..through man
have a spiritual/interpretation..as well as.a material/one which meets..the eye...or pleases the ear.

And..it is/this spiritual-in-terpretation
which..is entirely..missed by..a materialistic age.

Man has gradually/built..around the/teachings..of Jesus
a wall/of..materialistic-deduction,..and speculation,..and
judgmental/material comment,..similar to/that with which the
Pharisee..had surrounded..that..of..the Mosaic law.

The tendency..has increasingly been ..to do/this
and..in proportion/..has man..lost/sight..of the spiritual/worlds.

We once/said..that..the Holy-Spirit..is/the Answer.

He is..the answer/to..EVERYTHING,..wholly/holy...
because..He knows..what/know-ledge..the answer..to everything/IS.

The ego..does/not..know..EVEn/what..a
REAL-question..is,..although/it..ever/asks..an endless number.

an endless..number...of questions..means the need/to
sort the relevant..from the irrelevant..an endless number...

But..YOU can..learn this,..as you..re/learn..how..to question.. the/value's of the ego/response..and thus establish..your ability..to EVALUATE its.questions..and suggestions.

When/the ego..tempts you..to sickness,
do not/ask..the Holy Spirit..to heal the/body...For this would
merely be..willing..to accept the ego’s..mis-belief..that the body is the proper..aim/for healing.

Ask rather..that the/Holy Spirit teach..you..the right
PERCEPTION/of the body,..for perception alone..can be distorted.

ONLY PERCEPTION..CAN BE SICK,
because..only/perception..can be WRONG.

Wrong/perception..is DISTORTED WILLING,
which WANTS/things..to/be as..they are not.

The/reality..of EVERY*THING..is totally harmless,..because
total harmlessness..is/the CONDITION.of its reality..*It is.also the condition/of..your AWARENESS*...of/its reality...

You do/not have to/SEEK reality...It will seek you
and..it/will..FIND you,..WHEN YOU MEET..ITS CONDITIONS.
Its/conditions..are part/of..WHAT IT IS...And this part..only/is up to you...The rest..is/of Itself.

You need do..so little,..because It/is..so powerful.that your
little part..WILL bring..together..the whole..But YOU..can/learn this,..as you..re-learn..to question/the value..of the ego/and thus re-establish..your ability/to..EVALUATE its..questions...suggestions.

When the ego/tempts you..in-to sickness,[un-wellness]..
do/not..ask..this would..merely be..willing..to accept/the ego’s..mis-belief

Individuals..therefore/tend..to assign..a small..scope/to negation
in/order..to minimize..the/number of models[optional-possibilities] that..they/you/me....have*/to consider.

Individuals..untrained in/recognition/of-logic..do not..notice/the possibilities..corresponding to/the..negation of..the/compound assertions..per-formed..with if,of/for..or,..and and,..

and/thus/have-to infer..the possibilities/probabilities/likelihoods..and impossibilities..one by one...It follows
that..negations are easier..to understand,..and forget..and to formulate,..and legislate[negate]..when individuals already have in
mind..the possibilities/qualities/concepts/ideas..to be negated...

Accept,/then,..your little part,
and LET..the whole..be yours...simply/by sharing..the joy.

Wholeness/heals..BECAUSE it is..of the mind.
All forms/of sickness,..even unto death,..are physical
expressions/of..the FEAR OF..the..real/good/true-self/AWAKENING.

They are attempts/to reinforce..Unconsciousness
out/of fear..of/the..ever-Consciousness.

This/thus..is a pathetic-way..of TRYING NOT TO KNOW
by rendering..the..very/faculties..for knowing ineffectual.

“Rest in peace”..is a blessing
for/the living,..not..*the dead..because
rest comes..*from waking/awarness,..[on/awakening]..not..while sleeping.

Sleep..is..withdrawing;..waking is..re-JOINING.
Dreams..are ILLUSIONS..of joining,.[taking on..the ego’s
distortions..about what/joining means,]..if you are sleeping..under its guidance.

But..the Holy-Spirit,..too,..has use for/sleep,..and can*
use dreams..on..the..BEHALF/of waking,..[if you will/let Him.]

How..you wake..is the sign
of/how..you/have..used/AB-used..sleep...

To whom..did you..give it?
Under..which teacher/did..you place it?..

Whenever you..awake/dis-spiritedly,..it was/NOT of
the Spirit...ONLY when..you awaken..joyously..have you
utilized..your compensatory/sleep..ACCORDING TO/thE HOLY SPIRIT’S PURPOSE.

You can..indeed be..“drugged by sleep,”..but this/is ALWAYS
because..you have..MISUSED IT's..services..ON BEHALF OF SICKNESS.

Sleep is/no more..a form of..death
than death..is a form/of unconsciousness...
realize..that..UNCONSCIOUSNESS..IS IMPOSSIBLE.
You can..rest/in peace..only..*BECAUSE YOU ARE AWAKE.

Healing..is release..from the fear/of waking,
and..the substitution*..of..the will..is substitution..of/to wake.

The will..to wake..is the will to love,
since ALL healing..involves..replacing fear/with love.

The Holy Spirit/cannot distinguish,.among[between]..degrees
of error,..for if He/taught that..one form/of sickness-delusion..is more serious..than any/other..delusion,.He would be teaching/that one error..can be/more REAL..than another.

But HIS..true/function..is to distinguish ..ONLY between
the false and..the true,..the,/REPLACING the false..WITH the true.

The ego,..[which always..WEAKENS the will,]..wants to/SEPARATE
the body..from the/mind...This IS/an attempt-to..DESTROY it...*But the ego..actually believesthat it/is..PROTECTING it.

This is because..ego..believes/that MIND..IS DANGEROUS,
and that..to/MAKE MINDLESS..is to heal...But*..to make mindless is impossible,..since it/would mean to/make nothing..out of..what God Created.[some-thing].

The ego..DESPISES weakness,..even/though it
makes..every effort..to INDUCE it..in..other..for all intent/purpose..our will attracts..as it wants..and..IT WANTS/ONLY WHAT..IT HATES.[To the ego/this is..perfectly sensible].

by..Believing..in the power/of attack,..it WANTS it.[wills/it.]

You have..we hope..begun to realize..that..of the will/of..this
is..seemingly..a very practical/course.. because it means/EXACTLY what it says...So does/the Bible,..if it/is properly understood.

There has/been a..marked tendency..on the part/of many..of
the Bible’s..followers,..and also/its translators,..to/be entirely literal..about fear..and ITS effects,..*[but NOT ..bout love/and ITS results.]

Thus,..“hellfire”..is/implied..to mean burning,
but..raising the dead..becomes allegorical...[Actually,..it is
PARTICULARLY..the references/to..the outcomes/of love..that should be taken literally..because the Bible/is ABOUT love,..[by/being about GOD.]

The Bible..enjoins you/to be perfect,..have/you..to heal ALL errors, to..take no thought/of the..body[AS SEPARATE]..and to accomplish..all things/IN..MY NAME.

This is*not/my name/alone,..for ours is/a shared identification.

The name/of God’s Son..is One,..and you are..enjoined/together..
to/do..the works of love..BECAUSE we/share this oneness...Our minds are/whole..merely..BECAUSE they are one.

If you/are sick,..then..you are..willing/
to-be..withdrawing from me...*But you.CANNOT/
WITHDRAW..FROM ME ALONE..You can only/withdraw from yourself..AND me.

I would not/ask you..to do things..which you CANNOT
do,..and it is impossible..that I..could do things..YOU cannot do.

I..could/not..ask you..to/do things..which you..CAN*NOT do,
and..it/is..impossible that I..could do things..YOU cannot do.

Given this,..and..by/given this..QUITE LITERALLY,..there..*CAN be nothing..which prevents you/from doing EXACTLY..what I ask,.and EVERYTHING/which argues..FOR it.

I give/you NO limits,..because..God lays/none..upon you.
When you/limit YOURSELF,..we are..NOT/of..one mind,..and/that IS sickness...But sickness..is/not..of the..body,..but OF/THE MIND.

ALL forms..of DIS-function.are merely/signs..that/the mind has
split,[the will/divided]..and does/not accept..a UNIFIED PURPOSE.
The/unification..of..willed-purpose,..then,..is the..Holy-Spirit’s ONLY..way/of healing.

This is/because..it/is..the only level
at which..healing/MEANS..anything...at-all...The re-establishing
of/meaning..in a chaotic/thought..system IS/the..only..way/to heal it.

We said/before..that your/task..is only
to meet..[jopin/enjoin]..the conditions..FOR
true-meaning,..since..all/meaning..itself is/of..God.

But your/RETURNing..to meaning/is essential..TO HIS,..
revealed/meanings..because YOUR..meaning is/PART..of His.

*Your/healing,..then,..is part/of HIS..health,
because it/like/you..is part/of..His Wholeness.[too].
He..cannot lose..his/health,..but YOU..can..know..of/it.[too].

Yet..it/is..still His/will..for you,..and
His will/MUST stand..forever..and..eternal..in all things.
Fear..of/the Will..of God is/one..of the/strangest beliefs/that the human mind..as ever..mis-made.

This could/not..possibly have/occurred..unless/the mind..was already profoundly/split,..making it/..possible..for IT/to be afraid.of what it/really is...It/is..apparent..that reality/CANNOT..“threaten”.any- thing..except illusions,..because reality/can only..UPHOLD truth.

The very..fact/that..the will..of God,[which.*IS/what.you are,.is perceived/as fearful..TO you/demonstrates..that/you ARE..afraid of what/you are.

It/is..not,then,..the will/of God..of which
you/are afraid,..but YOURS...Your will..is/NOT.the ego’s,
and that/is..why..the ego/is against/you...What seems*..to/be the fear..of God..is really/only..the fear/of..YOUR OWN..REALITY.

It/is..impossible to learn..anything/consistently
or/completely..in/a..state..of panic...If the purpose..of
this..course is/to learn..what you are,..and/if..you have ALREADY DECIDED..that what/you..are is FEARFUL,..then it/MUST follow..that you will/NOT..LEARN THIS COURSE.

But you/might..remember..that/the..reason FOR
the course..is that/you..do NOT..recall..who you are.
If..you do/not..know..your/own..reality,..how would/you know..whether it/is fearful..or not?

The/association..as..opposites..[of truth..and fear],
which..would/be..highly artificial[at best,]..is particularly
inappropriate..in/the minds..of those..who do/not know..what truth IS.

All/that..this kind..of..mis-association..means..is/that
you\are..arbitrarily endowing..something/quite..beyond your
awareness..[with something..YOU/DO..NOT WANT.]

It/is..evident,..then,..that you/are..judging
as/something..of which/you..are totally unaware.

You have/set..this strange situation/up..as/if real..so that/it
is..COMPLETELY/IMPOSSIBLE..to escape/from it..WITHOUT..a guide who DOES/know..what your/reality is.

The purpose/of this..Guide..is merely
to remind you/of what..YOU want...He is/not
attempting/to..en-force..an alien/will..UPON you.

He is merely/making..every possible/effort,..within/the limits
YOU impose..upon Him,..to RE-ESTABLISH/your..OWN will..in your own/consciousness.

You have..IMPRISONED/it..in/your UNconscious,..where
it remains..available,..but/cannot..help you.

When we/said..that..the Holy/Spirit’s..function,,isto s..ort out
the true..from the false[in your/unconscious],..we meant/that..He has the power..to look into/what..YOU have hidden,..and/enabled..to/perceive..the Will..of God..in/there.

THis perception..of his/will..can
free/your/own..will..once you will..it.

the/perception of..his will..can make/it..real to YOU,
and..because HE is..with/in..your mind,therefore He/IS..our reality.

then,..If,/this/His perception..OF your mind..brings..its
reality TO/you,..He IS..teaching you/what you are..The only/source
of fear..in this/whole process..can/ONLY be..WHAT YOU THINK/YOU LOSE.

But..it is/only..what/the Holy/Spirit..sees
that..you/can possibly HAVE.

We have..emphasized/many times..that the/Holy-Spirit
will..never call/upon you..to sacrifice anything...[But if/you
ask..for..the sacrifice..of..the/reality OF YOURSELVES,..the Holy Spirit..MUST remind you..that this is/not God’s will..BECAUSE it is not..that..sanity..would will for/yours.

There is/NO DIFFERENCE..between/your will..and God’s.
If you/did not have divided/wills,[illusory/loyalty]..you would recognize/that willing..*is salvation..because it..*IS communication.

It is/impossible..to communicate/in..alien tongues.
You..and your Creator/can communicate..symbiotically..through creation,..because that,..[and only that,]..IS..of/your joint will.

Divided wills..do not/communicate..because
they speak..*for different/things..TO THE SAME MIND...This loses
the ability..to communicate,.simply/because..confused communication DOES/NOT..MEAN/ANYTHING...

A message/cannot..be said to/be..communicated
UNLESS..it/makes sense...How sensible..can/your
messages be,..when you..ask/for WHAT..YOU DON’T WANT?

Yet..as long as..you are/afraid..of your will,
this/is..precisely..what you..WILL ask for.

You/may..insist that/the Holy-Spirit..does not/answer..you,
but/it..might be..wiser/to consider..the..kind of..questioner/you are.

simply..YOU DO NOT/ASK..ONLY..FOR WHAT/YOU WANT...This/is SOLELY
because..you/are..afraid you/might receive it,..AND YOU WOULD.[THIS is/really..why you/persist..in/asking..the teacher..who could/not possibly..teach you/your will.]

Of him,..[or any]..you can/never..learn it,
and..this gives/you..the illusion/of safety...[But ]..
you /cannot..ever..be safe*..FROM/truth,..but..only IN/of..or by..it.

Reality is/the ONLY safety.
Your..will..alone..is/your salvation
BECAUSE..IT..[as/you..will]..IS THE SAME..AS GOD’S.

The..separation is/as..nothing..more than
the belief..that..it is DIFFERENT.[differential]

NO mind/can..believably/believe..that..its will is
STRONGER..than God’s...If,..then,..a mind/mis-believes..that
ITS will..is different/FROM His,..

then/thus..it..can only..mis-decide..either
that/there..IS..no God,..or..that.GOD’S WILL/IS..to be fears..or FEARFUL.

The former/accounts..for the atheist,
and..the latter..for the martyr.[Martyrdom..takes-on..many forms,
the/base-category..including ALL doctrines/which..hold/wrongly..that God demands sacrifices..[of ANY kind.]

Either/basic type[..of insane..]..mis-decision
will induce panic,..because..the atheist mis-believes..he
really..is*..alone..a[nd the martyr/mis-believes.that God is crucifying him.]..

Both really..fear..both/abandonment..AND retaliation,
but/the former..is more reactive..*against abandonment and
the..latter against..retaliation...[guilty/minded/authority/avoidence]

The..deceived/atheist..too/maintains that/God
has left him,..and..that/he does not/care.[because..he/has tested..him..and he/came not..in..the exact-way..the child/expected].

He will,..more-over,..have..become very fearful,
and hence..very ANGRY,..if anyone suggests/that God..has NOT left him..[abandonment/denial issues]..[these demons..need/space/time/temptation]

The martyr,..on the other hand,..is more aware
of guilt,..and..by..mis-believing..that punishment..
is inevitable,..and so..attempts..to teach/himself..to LIKE it.
