1. Forget not that the motivation for this course is the attainment and the keeping of the state of peace. 2Given this state the mind is quiet, and the condition in which God is remembered is attained. 3It is not necessary to tell Him what to do. 4He will not fail. 5Where He can enter, there He is already. 6And can it be He cannot enter where He wills to be? 7Peace will be yours because it is His Will. 8Can you believe a shadow can hold back the Will that holds the universe secure? 9God does not wait upon illusions to let Him be Himself. 10No more His Son. 11They are. 12And what illusion that idly seems to drift between Them has the power to defeat what is Their Will?
2. To learn this course requires willingness to question every value that you hold. 2Not one can be kept hidden and obscure but it will jeopardize your learning. 3No belief is neutral. 4Every one has the power to dictate each decision you make. 5For a decision is a conclusion based on everything that you believe. 6It is the outcome of belief, and follows it as surely as does suffering follow guilt and freedom sinlessness. 7There is no substitute for peace. 8What God creates has no alternative. 9The truth arises from what He knows. 10And your decisions come from your beliefs as certainly as all creation rose in His Mind because of what He knows.
