REVIEW II

LESSON EIGHTY-TWO

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.

REVIEW II

¹ We are now ready for another review. We will begin where our last review left off and cover two ideas each day. The earlier part of each day will be devoted to one of these ideas, and the latter part of the day to the other. We will have one longer exercise period and frequent shorter ones in which we practice each of them.

² The longer practice periods will follow this general form: take about 15 minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking about the idea and the comments which are included in the assignments. Devote about three or four minutes to reading them over slowly, several times if you wish, and then close your eyes and listen.

While the ideas – of themselves – are quite important, the crucial part is the Listening, Our Communion.

Repeat the first phase if you find your mind wandering, but try to spend the major part of the practice period listening quietly but attentively.

³ There is a message waiting for you. Be confident that you will receive it. Remember that it belongs to you and that you want it. Do not allow your intent to waver in the face of distracting thoughts. – The ego mindset is quite good at distraction. – Realize that, whatever form they take, they have no meaning and no power. – Each and every thought coming from the ego mindset is meaningless, for it comes from belief in a ‘reality’ that is non-existent. – Replace them with your determination to succeed. Do not forget that your will has power over all fantasies and dreams. – The choice is always Yours.  Choose once again until Your choice is always God and Love. – Trust it to see you through and carry you beyond them all.

⁴ Regard these practice periods as dedications to the way, the truth, and the life. Refuse to be side-tracked into detours, illusions, and thoughts of death. You are dedicated to salvation. Be determined each day not to leave your function unfulfilled.

What else could You be doing that is as important as this is?  No other endeavor has worth even close to this one.

⁵ Reaffirm your determination in the shorter practice periods as well, using the original form of the idea for general application and a more specific form when needed. Some specific forms will be included in the comments. These, however, are merely suggestions. It is not the particular words you use that matter.

It is Your heart’s desire and Your diligence that matter.  Desire is prayer.

¹ We will review these ideas today:

[63] The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness.

To be aware, at all times, that minds are Joined is quite helpful.  For then You are aware that every thought You have impacts each One of Your Brothers.  No minds are private; each thought You have counts for Good or seeming ‘evil’. And it is shared with Every One.

² My forgiveness is the means by which the light of the world finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the world that it may be healed along with me.

My forgiveness is the willingness to Love instead of hating.  There is no in between.  It’s surely one or the other.  Which one shall it be?

³ Suggestions for specific forms for applying this idea are:

⁴ Let peace extend from my mind to yours, [name].
I share the light of the world with you, [name].
Through my forgiveness I can see this as it is.

And it is nothing like the ‘human scene.’

[64] Let me not forget my function.

I had forgotten My Function, for I thought I was here just to please number one.  Yet as You began to Guide Me, I found My focus shifting.

⁵ I would not forget my function because I would remember my Self. I cannot fulfil my function by forgetting. And unless I fulfil my function, I will not experience the joy that God intends for me.

Let Me remember that My existence has one purpose, and that purpose is Love.

⁶ Suitable specific forms of this idea include:

⁷ Let me not use this to hide my function from me. – This is so helpful when temptation comes to tell You that Your Brother is deep in error.
I would use this as an opportunity to fulfill my function. – What blessings can come from the realization that You are being tricked by a dream to withhold Love from a precious Brother.  You are here to Love. THAT is Your Function.
This may threaten my ego but cannot change my function in any way.

Why would the ego feel threatened?  Because Love is inimical to Your continuing Your dreaming.  The ego does not want You to Awaken, for that will be its destruction.  So does it ever seek to destroy You before You do Awaken.

Thus the purpose of these Lessons for You, to encourage Your Love Awakening.
