These are drawn from all seven books in ACIM.

Oh my brothers, if you only knew the peace of mind that would envelop you and hold you safe and pure and lovely in the Mind of God, you could but rush to meet Him where His altar is.

Hallowed your name and His, for they are joined here in this holy place.

Here he leans down to lift you back to Him, out of illusions into holiness; out of the world and into timelessness; out of all fear and given back to Love.

When God's power has once been experienced, it is impossible to trust one's own petty strength again.

Who would attempt to fly with the tiny wings of a sparrow, when the mighty power of an eagle has been given her?

And who would place her faith in the shabby offerings of ego, when the gifts of God are laid before her?

Teaching but reinforces what you believe about yourself. Its fundamental purpose is to diminish self doubt.

This does not mean that the self you are trying to protect is real, but it does mean that: the self you think is real is what you teach.

This is inevitable; there is no escape from that. How could it be otherwise?

Everyone who follows the world's curriculum - and everyone here does follow it, until he changes his mind - teaches solely to convince himself that he is what he is not.

Here then is the purpose of the world; what else then would its curriculum be?

Into this hopeless and closed learning situation, which teaches nothing but despair and death, God sends his teachers.

And as they teach his lessons of joy and hope, their learning finally becomes complete!

And now in all your doings be you blessed. God turns to you for help to save the world.

Teacher of God, His thanks He offers you, and all the world stands silent in the Grace you bring from Him.

You are the Son He loves, and it is given you to be the means through which His voice is heard around the world; to close all things of time, to end the sight of all things visible, and to undo all things that change.

Through you is ushered in a world unseen, unheard; yet truly there.

Holy are you, and in your light the world reflects your holiness, for you are not alone and friendless.

I give thanks for you, and join your efforts on behalf of God, knowing they are on my behalf as well, and for all those who walk to God with me.
