The Thoughts of God / The Thought God holds of you.
Only the Thoughts of God are true. And all that follows from them comes from what they
are, and is as true as is the holy Source from which they came. ACiM - Text Chapter Seventeen - Forgiveness and
the Holy Relationship - Section 3 - Shadows of the Past
The Thoughts of God are
with you. ACiM Text - Chapter Five - Healing and
Wholeness - Teaching and Healing
A major source of the ego's off-balanced state is its lack of
discrimination between the body and the
thoughts of God. Thoughts of God are unacceptable
to the ego, because they clearly point to the nonexistence of the ego itself.
The ego therefore either distorts them or refuses to accept them. ACiM Text - Chapter Four - The Illusions of the
Ego - The Ego-Body Illusion
How beautiful indeed are the
Thoughts of God who live in His
light! Your worth is beyond perception because it is beyond doubt. Do not
perceive yourself in different lights. Know yourself in the One Light where the
miracle that is you is perfectly clear. ACiM Text - Chapter Three - The Innocent
Perception - Beyond Perception
The Thoughts of God are
quite apart from time. For time is but another meaningless defense you made
against the truth. ACiM - Workbook Lesson 136
From this day forth, your ministry takes on a genuine devotion,
and a glow that travels from your fingertips to those you touch, and blesses
those you look upon. A vision reaches everyone you meet, and everyone you think
of, or who thinks of you. For your experience today will so transform your mind
that it becomes the touchstone for the holy
Thoughts of God. A Course in Miracles - Workbook Lesson 157
… the Thoughts of God remain forever changeless, with the power to extend forever
changelessly, but yet within themselves, for they are everywhere. A Course in Miracles - Workbook Lesson 167
Give thanks as you receive it. Be you free of all ingratitude to
anyone who makes your Self complete. And from this Self is no one left outside.
Give thanks for all the countless channels which extend this Self. All that you
do is given unto Him. All that you think can only be His Thoughts, sharing with
Him the holy Thoughts of God. Earn now the gratitude you have denied yourself when you
forgot the function God has given you. But never think that He has ever ceased
to offer thanks to you. ACiM - Workbook Lesson 197
The Thoughts of God are
far beyond all change, and shine forever. They await not birth. They wait for
welcome and remembering. The Thought God holds of
you is like a star, unchangeable in an
eternal sky. So high in Heaven is it set that those outside of Heaven know not
it is there. Yet still and white and lovely will it shine through all eternity.
There was no time it was not there; no instant when its light grew dimmer or
less perfect ever was. ACiM - Text Chapter Thirty - The New Beginning - Section 4 - Beyond
All Idols
Completion is the function
of God's Son. He has no need to seek for it at all. Beyond all idols
stands his holy will to be but what he is. For more than whole is meaningless.
If there were change in him, if he could be reduced to any form and limited to
what is not in him, he would not be as God created him. What idol can he need
to be himself? For can he give a part of him away? What is not whole cannot
make whole. But what is really asked for cannot be denied. Your will is granted. Not in any form that would
content you not, but in the whole completely lovely Thought God holds of you. ACiM - Text Chapter Thirty - The New Beginning -
Section 4 - Beyond All Idols
The Thought God holds of you is
perfectly unchanged by your forgetting. It will always be exactly as it was
before the time when you forgot, and will be just the same when you remember.
And it is the same within the interval when you forgot. ACiM - Text Chapter Thirty - The New Beginning -
Section 4 - Beyond All Idols
The Thought God holds of you is
like a star, unchangeable in an eternal sky. So high in Heaven is it set that
those outside of Heaven know not it is there. Yet still and white and lovely
will it shine through all eternity. There was no time it was not there; no
instant when its light grew dimmer or less perfect ever was. ACiM - Text Chapter Thirty - The New Beginning - Section 4 - Beyond
All Idols
Beyond all idols is the
Thought God holds of you. Completely
unaffected by the turmoil and the terror of the world, the dreams of birth and
death that here are dreamed, the myriad of forms that fear can take; quite
undisturbed, the Thought God holds of
you remains exactly as it always was.
Surrounded by a stillness so complete no sound of battle comes remotely near,
it rests in certainty and perfect peace. Here is your one reality kept safe,
completely unaware of all the world that worships idols, and that knows not
God. In perfect sureness of its changelessness and of its rest in its eternal
home, the Thought God holds of you has never left the Mind of its Creator Whom it knows, as its
Creator knows that it is there. ACiM - Text Chapter Thirty - The New Beginning -
Section 4 - Beyond All Idols
Where could the Thought God holds of
you exist but where you are? Is your reality
a thing apart from you, and in a world which your reality knows nothing of?
Outside you there is no eternal sky, no changeless star and no reality. The
mind of Heaven's Son in Heaven is, for there the Mind of Father and of Son
joined in creation which can have no end. You have not two realities, but one.
Nor can you be aware of more than one. An idol or the Thought God holds of
you is your reality. Forget not, then,
that idols must keep hidden what you are, not from the Mind of God, but from
your own. The star shines still; the sky has never changed. But you, the holy
Son of God Himself, are unaware of your reality. ACiM - Text Chapter Thirty - The New Beginning -
