T-30.IV.2:1-7. The wearying, dissatisfying gods
you made are blown-up children's toys. A child is frightened when a
wooden head springs up as a closed box is opened suddenly, or when a soft and
silent woolly bear begins to squeak as he takes hold of it. The rules he made for boxes and for bears have failed him, and have
broken his "control" of what surrounds him. And he is afraid, because he thought the rules protected him. Now must he learn the boxes and the bears did not deceive him, broke
no rules, nor mean his world is made chaotic and unsafe. He was mistaken. He
misunderstood what made him safe, and thought that it had left.
T-11.VIII.7:1-7. Little child of God, you do not understand
your Father. You believe in a world that takes, because you believe that you
can get by taking. And by that perception you have lost sight of the real world.
You are afraid of the world as you see it, but the real world is still yours
for the asking. Do not deny it to yourself, for it can only free you. Nothing
of God will enslave His Son whom He created free and whose freedom is protected
by His Being. Blessed are you who are willing to ask the truth of God without
fear, for only thus can you learn that His answer is the release from fear.
T-11.VIII.8:1-7. Beautiful child of God, you are asking only
for what I promised you. Do you believe I would deceive you? The Kingdom of
Heaven is within you. Believe that the truth is in me, for I know that
it is in you. God's Sons have nothing they do not share. Ask for truth of any
Son of God, and you have asked it of me. Not one of us but has the answer in
him, to give to anyone who asks it of him.
T-1.VII.2:1-5. Child of God, you were created to create
the good, the beautiful and the holy. Do not forget this. The Love of God, for
a little while, must still be expressed through one body to another, because
vision is still so dim. You can use your body best to help you enlarge your
perception so you can achieve real vision, of which the physical eye is
incapable. Learning to do this is the body's only true usefulness.
T-28.III.8:1. Be
not afraid, my child, but let your world be gently lit by miracles.
T-15.III.9:1-8. Holy child of God, when will you learn that
only holiness can content you and give you peace? Remember that you learn not
for yourself alone, no more than I did. It is because I learned for you that
you can learn of me. I would but teach you what is yours, so that together we
can replace the shabby littleness that binds the host of God to guilt and
weakness with the glad awareness of the glory that is in him. My birth in you
is your awakening to grandeur. Welcome me not into a manger, but into the altar
to holiness, where holiness abides in perfect peace. My Kingdom is not of this
world because it is in you. And you are of your Father. 9 Let us join in
honoring you, who must remain forever beyond littleness.
Everything you perceive as the outside world is
merely your attempt to maintain your ego identification, for everyone believes
that identification is salvation. Yet consider what
has happened, for thoughts do have consequences to the thinker. You have become at
odds with the world as you perceive it, because you think it is antagonistic to
you. This is a necessary consequence of what you have done. You have projected
outward what is antagonistic to what is inward, and therefore you would have to
perceive it this way. That is why you must realize that your hatred
is in your mind and not outside it before you can get rid of it; and why you
must get rid of it before you can perceive the world as it really is. T-12.III.7:5-10.
Let
this be our prayer, just like every child
Need to find a place, guide us with your grace
Give us faith so we'll be safe
