1. You have learned your need of healing. 2Would you bring anything else to the Sonship, recognizing your need of healing for yourself? 3For in this lies the beginning of the return to knowledge; the foundation on which God will help build again the thought system you share with Him. 4Not one stone you place upon it but will be blessed by Him, for you will be restoring the holy dwelling place of His Son, where He wills His Son to be and where he is. 5In whatever part of the mind of God’s Son you restore this reality, you restore it to yourself. 6You dwell in the Mind of God with your brother, for God Himself did not will to be alone.
2. To be alone is to be separated from infinity, but how can this be if infinity has no end? 2No one can be beyond the limitless, because what has no limits must be everywhere. 3There are no beginnings and no endings in God, Whose universe is Himself. 4Can you exclude yourself from the universe, or from God Who is the universe? 5I and my Father are one with you, for you are part of Us. 6Do you really believe that part of God can be missing or lost to Him?
3. If you were not part of God, His Will would not be unified. 2Is this conceivable? 3Can part of His Mind contain nothing? 4If your place in His Mind cannot be filled by anyone except you, and your filling it was your creation, without you there would be an empty place in God’s Mind. 5Extension cannot be blocked, and it has no voids. 6It continues forever, however much it is denied. 7Your denial of its reality may arrest it in time, but not in eternity. 8That is why your creations have not ceased to be extended, and why so much is waiting for your return.
4. Waiting is possible only in time, but time has no meaning. 2You who made delay can leave time behind simply by recognizing that neither beginnings nor endings were created by the Eternal, Who placed no limits on His creation or upon those who create like Him. 3You do not know this simply because you have tried to limit what He created, and so you believe that all creation is limited. 4How, then, could you know your creations, having denied infinity?
5. The laws of the universe do not permit contradiction. 2What holds for God holds for you. 3If you believe you are absent from God, you will believe that He is absent from you. 4Infinity is meaningless without you, and you are meaningless without God. 5There is no end to God and His Son, for we are the universe. 6God is not incomplete, and He is not childless. 7Because He did not will to be alone, He created a Son like Himself. 8Do not deny Him His Son, for your unwillingness to accept His Fatherhood has denied you yours. 9See His creations as His Son, for yours were created in honor of Him. 10The universe of love does not stop because you do not see it, nor have your closed eyes lost the ability to see. 11Look upon the glory of His creation, and you will learn what God has kept for you.
6. God has given you a place in His Mind that is yours forever. 2Yet you can keep it only by giving it, as it was given you. 3Could you be alone there, when it was given you because God did not will to be alone? 4God’s Mind cannot be lessened. 5It can only be increased, for everything He creates has the function of creating. 6Love does not limit, and what it creates is not limited. 7To give without limit is God’s Will for you, because only this can bring you the joy that is His and that He wills to share with you. 8Your love is as boundless as His because it is His.
7. Could any part of God be without His Love, and could any part of His Love be contained? 2God is your heritage, because His one gift is Himself. 3How can you give except like Him if you would know His gift to you? 4Give, then, without limit and without end, to learn how much He has given you. 5Your ability to accept Him depends on your willingness to give as He gives. 6Your fatherhood and your Father are one. 7God wills to create, and your will is His. 8It follows, then, that you will to create, since your will follows from His. 9And being an extension of His Will, yours must be the same.
8. Yet what you will you do not know. 2This is not strange when you realize that to deny is to “not know.” 3God’s Will is that you are His Son. 4By denying this you deny your own will, and therefore do not know what it is. 5You must ask what God’s Will is in everything, because it is yours. 6You do not know what it is, but the Holy Spirit remembers it for you. 7Ask Him, therefore, what God’s Will is for you, and He will tell you yours. 8It cannot be too often repeated that you do not know it. 9Whenever what the Holy Spirit tells you appears to be coercive, it is only because you have not recognized your will.
9. The projection of the ego makes it appear as if God’s Will is outside yourself, and therefore not yours. 2In this interpretation it seems possible for God’s Will and yours to conflict. 3God, then, may seem to demand of you what you do not want to give, and thus deprive you of what you want. 4Would God, Who wants only your will, be capable of this? 5Your will is His life, which He has given to you. 6Even in time you cannot live apart from Him. 7Sleep is not death. 8What He created can sleep, but cannot die. 9Immortality is His Will for His Son, and His Son’s will for himself. 10God’s Son cannot will death for himself because his Father is life, and His Son is like Him. 11Creation is your will because it is His.
10. You cannot be happy unless you do what you will truly, and you cannot change this because it is immutable. 2It is immutable by God’s Will and yours, for otherwise His Will would not be extended. 3You are afraid to know God’s Will, because you believe it is not yours. 4This belief is your whole sickness and your whole fear. 5Every symptom of sickness and fear arises here, because this is the belief that makes you want not to know. 6Believing this you hide in darkness, denying that the light is in you.
11. You are asked to trust the Holy Spirit only because He speaks for you. 2He is the Voice for God, but never forget that God did not will to be alone. 3He shares His Will with you; He does not thrust it upon you. 4Always remember that what He gives He keeps, so that nothing He gives can contradict Him. 5You who share His life must share it to know it, for sharing is knowing. 6Blessed are you who learn that to hear the Will of your Father is to know your own. 7For it is your will to be like Him, Whose Will it is that it be so. 8God’s Will is that His Son be one, and united with Him in His Oneness. 9That is why healing is the beginning of the recognition that your will is His.
