REVIEW II

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 These are the ideas for today’s review:

[67] Love created me like Itself.

Then Love must I be even though I often seem far from It.

² I am in the likeness of my Creator. – I am an intrisic part of My Creator’s Self, Expression.  Therefore, I must be more than like to Love.  So, I must BE It. –I cannot suffer, I cannot experience loss, and I cannot die. I am not a body. – In short, I’m nothing like I think I am! – I would recognize my reality today.  – For My Real Self cannot help but be perfectly recognizable to Me. – I will worship no idols nor raise my own self-concepts to replace my Self. – For that’s what happened, beginning time, and this is what constitutes the whole dream of separation. – I am in the likeness of my Creator. Love created me like Itself.

Again, I am not ‘like’ to God, I am but His Expression of Me

³ You might find these specific forms helpful in applying the idea:

⁴ Let me not see an illusion of myself in this.  Which I will certainly be sure to do, if I’m sucked into believing the dream.
As I look on this, let me remember my Creator. – Instead of remembering what it’s like to embody the ego, and not God.

My Creator did not create this as I see it.

If it isn’t Love, well then, it isn’t.

[68] Love holds no grievances.

For Love but acknowledges perfection.

⁵ Grievances are completely alien to love. – Yet in the dream they are what keeps the dream ‘alive’ and kicking.

 Grievances attack love and keep its light obscure. If I hold grievances I am attacking love and therefore attacking my Self. My Self thus becomes alien to me. I am determined not to attack my Self today, so that I can remember who I am.

And I must remember, that it is not the ego, although it sure does claim to be.

⁶ These specific forms for applying this idea would be helpful:

⁷ This is no justification for denying my Self.
I will not use this to attack love.
Let this not tempt me to attack myself.

I would remember that the entire dream is just that: a dream and not Reality.

And Reality stands waiting for Me.
