    "The first in time means nothing, but the First in eternity is God the Father, Who is both First and One. Beyond the First there is no other,
    for there is no order, no second or third, and nothing but the First."

    "You who belong to the First Cause, created by him like unto himself and
    part of him, are more than merely guiltless. The state of guiltlessness
    is only the condition in which what is not there has been removed from
    the disordered mind that thought it was. This state, and only this,
    must you attain, with God beside you. For until you do, you will still
    think that you are separate from him."

    "When you have let all that obscured the truth in your most holy mind be undone for you, and therefore stand in grace before your Father, he will
    give himself to you as he has always done. Giving himself is all he
    knows, and so it is all knowledge. For what he knows not cannot be, and therefore cannot be given. Ask not to be forgiven, for this has already
    been accomplished. Ask, rather, to learn how to forgive, and to restore
    what always was to your unforgiving mind. Atonement becomes real and
    visible to those who use it. On earth this is your only function, and
    you must learn that it is all you want to learn."

    "You need not understand creation to do what must be done before that knowledge would be meaningful to you. God breaks no barriers; neither
    did he make them. When you release them they are gone. God will not
    fail, nor ever has in anything. Decide that God is right and you are
    wrong about yourself. He created you out of himself, but still within
    him. He knows what you are. Remember that there is no second to him.
    There cannot, therefore, be anyone without his holiness, nor anyone
    unworthy of his perfect love. Fail not in your function of loving in a loveless place made out of darkness and deceit, for thus are darkness
    and deceit undone. Fail not yourself, but instead offer to God and you
    his blameless Son. For this small gift of appreciation for his love,
    God will himself exchange your gift for his."


    "Before you make any decisions for yourself, remember that you have
    decided against your function in Heaven, and then consider carefully
    whether you want to make decisions here. Your function here is only to decide against deciding what you want, in recognition that you do not
    know. How, then, can you decide what you should do? Leave all
    decisions to the One Who speaks for God, and for your function as he
    knows it. So will he teach you to remove the awful burden you have laid
    upon yourself by loving not the Son of God, and trying to teach him
    guilt instead of love. Give up this frantic and insane attempt that
    cheats you of the joy of living with your God and Father, and of waking gladly to his love and holiness that join together as the truth in you, making you one with him."

    "Unless you are guiltless you cannot know God, Whose Will is that you
    know him. Therefore, you *must* be guiltless. Yet if you do not accept
    the necessary conditions for knowing him, you have denied him and do not recognize him, though he is all around you. He cannot be known without
    his Son, whose guiltlessness is the condition for knowing him. Accepting
    his Son as guilty is denial of the Father so complete, that knowledge is swept away from recognition in the very mind where God himself has
    placed it. If you would but listen, and learn how impossible this is!
    Do not endow him with attributes you understand. You made him not, and anything you understand is not of him."

    "Your task is not to make reality. It is here without your making, but
    not without you. You who have tried to throw yourself away and valued
    God so little, hear me speak for him and for yourself. You cannot
    understand how much your Father loves you, for there is no parallel in
    your experience of the world to help you understand it. There is
    nothing on earth with which it can compare, and nothing you have ever
    felt apart from him resembles it ever so faintly. Would you know of One
    Who gives forever, and Who knows of nothing except giving?"

    "Love is not learned. Its meaning lies within itself. And learning
    ends when you have recognized all it is not. That is the interference;
    that is what needs to be undone. Love is not learned, because there
    never was a time in which you knew it not. Learning is useless in the
    Presence of your Creator, Whose acknowledgment of you and yours of him
    so far transcend all learning that everything you learned is
    meaningless, replaced forever by the knowledge of love and its one meaning."
