You cannot sell your soul, but you can sell your awareness of it. You cannot perceive your soul, but you will not know it while you perceive something else as more valuable.

Quotation No. 212

The ego is trying to teach you how to gain the whole world and lose your soul. The Holy Spirit teaches that you cannot lose your soul and there is no gain in the world, for of itself it profits nothing.

（小我企图教你如何赚得全世界，却赔上自己的灵魂。圣灵则开导你，你不可能丧失自己的灵魂，而世上也无利可图。因凭世界自身，它无法带给人任何利益。） (Text-12 VI.1:1)

Quotation No. 211

Quotation No. 210

You will undertake a journey because you are not at home in this world. And you will search for your home whether you realize where it is or not.

Quotation No. 209

"Seek and do not find." This is the one promise the ego holds out to you, and the one promise it will keep. For the ego pursues its goal with fanatic insistence, and its judgment , though severely impaired, is completely consistent. 

（“去找，但不要找到。”这是小我对你唯一的许诺，也是它会遵守的唯一许诺。小我追逐它的目标一向十分地狂热而坚持，纵使它的判断能力已严重受损，却能够锲而不舍。） (Text-12 IV.1:4)

Quotation No. 206

Every loving thought is true. Everything else is an appeal for healing and help, regardless of the form it takes.

（每个善念都是真的。其余的念头，不论是以何种形式呈现，只是呼求救治及有待援助的表达而已。）  (Text-12 I.3:4)

Quotation No. 205

Understand that you do not respond to anything directly, but to your interpretation of it. Your interpretation thus becomes the justification for the response. That is why analyzing the motives of others is hazardous to you.

Quotation No. 204

The real world can actually be perceived. All that is necessary is a willingness to perceive nothing else. For if you perceive both good and evil, you are accepting both the false and the true and making no distinction between them.

（真实的世界是可能看见的。只需一个条件，即是你甘愿不再去看其他东西。因为你若同时看见善与恶，你就同时接纳了虚妄与真实，且将两者混为一谈。） (Text-11 VII.2:6)
