We're not without hope; we just haven't been seeing it. We're not without power; we just haven't been claiming it. We're not without love; we just haven't been living it.

Love in your mind produces love in your life. This is the meaning of Heaven. Fear in your mind produces fear in your life. This is the meaning of hell

Your job is to allow the Holy Spirit to remove the fearful thinking that surrounds your perfect self

Light is to darkness what love is to fear; in the presence of one, the other disappears. All the darkness in my life—the fears, neuroses, dysfunctions, and diseases—are not so much things as the absence of things. They represent not the presence of a problem but rather the absence of the answer. And the answer is love. All fearful manifestations disappear in the presence of love.

Similarly, if we want to be rid of fear, we cannot fight it but must replace it with love.

we're going to set any goal, let us set the goal of being healed of the belief that God is fear instead of love

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us.

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. We ask ourselves who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous. Actually who are you not to be. We were born to make manifest the glory of god that is within us. And as we let our own light shine we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same.

The Course teaches that fear is literally a bad dream. It is as though the mind has been split in two; one part stays in touch with love, and the other part veers into fear. Fear manufactures a kind of parallel universe where the unreal seems real

Fear in your mind produces fear in your life. This is the meaning of hell.

Your job is to allow the Holy Spirit to remove the fearful thinking that surrounds your perfect self, just as excess marble surrounded Michelangelo's perfect statue.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
