LESSON FORTY-NINE

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.

God’s Voice speaks to me all through the day.  What is Your part, but to ask and listen.

Yes, indeed, this Lesson is quite crucial to Awakening; for the need is but to make reconnection.  And this done consistently does  obviously, clearly, end the separation.

¹ It is quite possible to listen to God’s Voice all through the day without interrupting your regular activities in any way. The ego mind is always running vigilantly, as it seeks to control all situations to Your best advantage. Instead of listening to the ego, why not learn to listen to God instead? His counsel is so kind and perfect. The part of your mind in which truth abides is in constant communication with God, whether you are aware of it or not.  For it is only in the dream that You could seem to have become disconnected!  For an Idea – which is what You are – cannot ever leave Its Source. How could You. Rays can’t leave the Sun; nor can you leave God.

Therefore, is the dream but pure delusion: an insanity at best, a vengeful hatred at its worst.

It is the other part of your mind that functions in the world and obeys the world’s laws. It is this part which is constantly distracted, disorganized, and highly uncertain.  And also unreal.  How real could be insanity to God, from which All Good flows?

Somewhere in Your mind – that which We’ve called the Holy Spirit – You know that it could not be possible to separate from God.  This notion is preposterous, and is the basis for the entire dream.  How insane does that seem?

There are times when the earth seems to orbit closer to the sun, and this time is one. For the beginning of Awakening is but a sense of receptivity to God, to Love, to Life, that is stirring.  Let Us nurture it so very gently.

² The part that is listening to the Voice of God is calm, always at rest, and wholly certain.  And It truly lives up to Its Name as the Holy Spirit.  It is really the only part there is. In other words, it is but All of You! The other part is a wild illusion, frantic and distraught, but without reality of any kind. Try today not to listen to it. You know that babbling voice-under!  Voice-under because it is always undermining You. What is it but the ego. Try to identify with the part of your mind where stillness and peace reign forever.  Remember that it’s the Holy Spirit! Where All of Us are found to Be as One great, stupendous Whole. Try to hear God’s Voice call to you lovingly, reminding you that your Creator has not forgotten His Son.  Hear His Love songs speaking of You, Knowing Who You really are.

³ We will need at least four five-minute practice periods today and more if possible. We will try actually to hear the Voice reminding you of God and of your Self. You may also feel It  come first as Love. You are so very, very Loved andSafe, perfectly embraced. We will approach this happiest and holiest of thoughts with confidence, knowing that in doing so we are joining our will with the Will of God. He wants you to hear His Voice. He gave It to you to be heard.  It is Your Voice too, You know; It speaks of God’s forever Love.

⁴ Listen in deep silence. Be very still, and open your mind. Go past all the raucous shrieks and sick imaginings that cover your real thoughts and obscure your eternal link with God.  Feel My Love for You. These Lessons are like mental surgery; not with a knife, but using only words of Love, We are excising the ego. You see I am not being kind to the ego.  And You’re not  – most assuredly You’re not – the ego!  Sink deep into the peace that waits for you beyond the frantic, riotous thoughts and sounds and sights of this insane world.  It is not of God, but of the ego. You do not live there. It seemed at first appealing; like the House of the Rising Sun, it drew You with false promises of new things heretofore unknown; yet gave You only dust and ashes. Just strange shadows of Your Real Self as Love. Up sprung the ego, a poor trade for the Son of God You are. You do not live there.  That house of the dream is not Your Real Home at all.  For Your Real Home is Heaven. You dwell as Spirit. And Your Real Be-ing – as well as Heaven – is available right here and right now. We are trying to reach your real home. We are trying to reach the place where you are truly welcome. We are trying to reach God.  Love is the path that leads You Home again; not a place to walk, but a change of mind instead: the ego is exchanged for God.  No external thing does need to happen.  You’re just changing Your mind about what You want.  And You’re choosing once again for God.  A simple choice, with eternal blessings.     

⁵ Do not forget to repeat today’s idea very frequently.  Make sure to Listen with expectancy that You’ll hear or feel His Presence. God is Here for You; this is My promise! Do so with your eyes open when necessary, but closed when possible. And be sure that you sit quietly and repeat the idea for today slowly whenever you can, closing your eyes on the world and realizing that you are inviting God’s Voice to speak to you.  Why not sit back, relax, and now be very still, and listen.
