LESSON THIRTY-SIX

TRANSCRIBER’S NOTE: The Course text is in bold face. The Guidance is in normal type In His Guidance, He has asked Me to capitalize the pronouns You and We as an acknowledgement of the Divinity of All of Us, an acknowledgement of Equality, an expression of His Love and respect for You. When You see the word ‘YOU’ capitalized in the Guidance, know that He is not just speaking to YOU, He is honoring YOU.

My holiness envelops everything I see.

Indeed, it does do that, for what You wish to be does surely create what You see.  If You would be Holy, then look with eyes of Love upon Your Brothers.  How do You ‘get’ these blessèd eyes?  Why just be willing.

Will to see past Your Brother’s sorry presentation to What is really there, right where He is.  For when You truly see Your Brother, You free Yourself as well.  What You give, You do receive

Give Your Brother Holiness, and You receive It for Yourself.

¹ Today’s idea extends the idea for yesterday from the perceiver to the perceived.

– What You know is Yours, You must give away, and then You get to keep It for Yourself. –

You are holy because your mind is part of God’s.

– Each One of Us but does complete the Holy and Complete One.  You are so important to the Father. Feel that Love for You.  –

And because you are holy, your sight must be holy as well. “Sinless” means without sin. You cannot be without sin a little. You are sinless or not. If your mind is part of God’s, you must be sinless or a part of His Mind would be sinful. Your sight is related to His holiness, not to your ego and therefore not to your body.

What am I saying here to All of You, Whom I Love so much?  I am but giving back Your Self to You, if You will accept It.

Your Self is not a body, and it is Your shared Consciousness.  For One Self are We.

² Four three- to five-minute practice periods are required for today. Try to distribute them fairly evenly, and make the shorter applications frequently to protect your protection throughout the day. The longer practice periods should take this form:

³ First, close your eyes and repeat the idea for today several times slowly. Then open your eyes and look quite slowly about you, applying the idea specifically to whatever you note in your casual survey. Say, for example:

⁴ My holiness envelops that rug.
My holiness envelops that wall.
My holiness envelops these fingers.
My holiness envelops that chair.
My holiness envelops that body.
My holiness envelops this pen.

⁵ Several times during these practice periods, close your eyes and repeat the idea to yourself. Then open your eyes and continue as before.

⁶ For the shorter exercise periods, close your eyes and repeat the idea; look about you as you repeat it again; and conclude with one more repetition with your eyes closed. All applications should, of course, be made quite slowly, as effortlessly and unhurriedly as possible.

We are all One and the Same, for We do exist as Holy Spirit, for Spirit is but Consciousness Itself expressing.  Hence all these exercises for Your mind.

To Know Oneself as Spirit is so lovely and delightful!

Fragmentation – insisting that You are separate – is exhausting and depressing.

For Holiness is not simply a pious description, but a state of Happiness that comes from Be-ing Whole.

To Gift You with the Joy of Reality is but the purpose of these Lessons.
