"Fear of the Will of God is one of the strangest beliefs the human mind has ever made. ²It could not possibly have occurred unless the mind were already profoundly split, making it possible for it to be afraid of what it really is. ³Reality cannot “threaten” anything except illusions, since reality can only uphold truth. ⁴The very fact that the Will of God, which is what you are, is perceived as fearful, demonstrates that you _are_ afraid of what you are. ⁵It is not, then, the Will of God of which you are afraid, but yours.
Your will is not the ego’s, and that is why the ego is against you. ²What seems to be the fear of God is really the fear of your own reality. ³It is impossible to learn anything consistently in a state of panic. ⁴If the purpose of this course is to help you remember what you are, and if you believe that what you are is fearful, then it must follow that you will not learn this course. ⁵Yet the reason for the course is that you do not know what you are.
If you do not know what your reality is, why would you be so sure that it is fearful? ²The association of truth and fear, which would be highly artificial at most, is particularly inappropriate in the minds of those who do not know what truth is. ³All this could mean is that you are arbitrarily associating something beyond your awareness with something you do not want. ⁴It is evident, then, that you are judging something of which you are totally unaware. ⁵You have set up this strange situation so that it is impossible to escape from it without a Guide Who _does_ know what your reality is. ⁶The purpose of this Guide is merely to remind you of what you want. ⁷He is not attempting to force an alien will upon you. ⁸He is merely making every possible effort, within the limits you impose on Him, to re-establish your own will in your awareness."
