the first change, before dreams disappear, is that your dreams of fear are
changed to happy dreams. That is what the Holy Spirit does in the special
relationship. He does not destroy it, nor snatch it away from you. The special
relationship will remain, not as a source of pain and guilt, but as a source of
joy and freedom.

that
God so loved the world that he gave it to his only begotten Son. God does love
the real world, and those who perceive its reality cannot see the world of
death. For death is not of the real world, in which everything reflects the
eternal. God gave you the real world in exchange for the one you made out of your
split mind, and which is the symbol of death. For if you could really separate
yourself from the Mind of God you would die. ACiM Text - Chapter Twelve - The Holy
Spirit's Curriculum - Section 1

that
what you project or extend is up to you, but you must do one or the other, for
that is a law of mind, and you must look in before you look out. As you look
in, you choose the guide for seeing. And then you look out and behold his
witnesses. This is why you find what you seek. What you want in yourself you
will make manifest, and you will accept it from the world because you put it
there by wanting it. When you think you are projecting what you do not want, it
is still because you do want it. This leads directly to dissociation,
for it represents the acceptance of two goals, each perceived in a different
place; separated from each other because you made them different. The mind then
sees a divided world outside itself, but not within. This gives it an illusion
of integrity, and enables it to believe that it is pursuing one goal. Yet as
long as you perceive the world as split, you are not healed. For to be healed
is to pursue one goal, because you have accepted only one and want but one. ACiM Text -

to will contrary to God is wishful thinking and not real willing. His will is
one because the extension of his will cannot be unlike itself. The real
conflict you experience, then, is between the ego's idle wishes and the Will of
God, which you share.

of yourself you can do nothing, but you are not of yourself. If you
were, what you have made would be true, and you could never escape. It is
because you did not make yourself that you need be troubled over nothing. Your
gods are nothing, because your Father did not create them. You cannot make
creators who are unlike your Creator, any more than he could have created a Son
who was unlike him. If creation is sharing, it cannot create what is unlike
itself. It can share only what it is. Depression is isolation, and so it could
not have been created. ACiM

he (Holy Spirit) teaches remembering and forgetting, but the forgetting is only
to make the remembering consistent. You forget in order to remember better. You
will not understand his translations while you listen to two ways of
interpreting them. Therefore you must forget or relinquish one to understand
the other. This is the only way you can learn consistency, so that you can
finally be consistent. ACiM Text - Chapter Seven - The Gifts of the Kingdom

forgetting is merely a way of remembering better. It is therefore not the
opposite of remembering when it is properly perceived. Perceived improperly, it
induces a perception of conflict with something else, as all incorrect
perception does. Properly perceived, it can be used as a way out of conflict,
as all proper perception can. ACiM Text - Chapter Seven - The Gifts of the Kingdom
- Healing as the Recognition of Truth
I have said before that the Holy Spirit perceives
the conflict exactly as it is, and it is meaningless. The Holy Spirit
does not want you to understand conflict; he wants you to realize that, because
conflict is meaningless, it is not understandable. As I have already said,
understanding brings appreciation and appreciation brings love. Nothing else
can be understood, because nothing else is real and therefore nothing else has
meaning.

you are the will of God. his will is not an idle wish, and your identification
with his will is not optional, since it is what you are. Sharing his will with
me is not really open to choice, though it may seem to be. The whole separation
lies in this error. The only way out of the error is to decide that you do not have
to decide anything. Everything has been given you by God's decision. That is
his will, and you cannot undo it. ACiM Text - Chapter Seven - The Gifts of
