LESSON FIFTY-THREE
REVIEW I

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.

¹ Today we will review the following:

[11] My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world.

It should be getting pretty clear by now that thinking as You practice it is not only pointless, but actually deleterious.

² Since the thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything, the world which pictures them can have no meaning. What is producing this world is insane, and so is what it produces. Reality is not insane, and I have real thoughts as well as insane ones. I can therefore see a real world if I look to my real thoughts as my guide for seeing.

Where do My real thoughts come from but My connection with the Holy Spirit, also known as My Right Mind or My Sanity.

These Real Thoughts are always available to Me, for the Holy Spirit exists for Real just exactly where insanity does claim to be.  Brother please continue with what You are unfolding to Me.

With pleasure.  You are hearing that the understanding of this fact – the ever-Presence of the Holy Spirit, Every One’s Right Mind – hold promise of reunification for All of those afflicted with what humans call brain injury or damage: so-called alzheimer’s, autism, asperger’s, cerebral palsy, mental retardation, guillaine-barr, prader-willi, down’s syndrome and all the countless others.

Right where those problems claim to be revealing stands the Holy Spirit with Its assurance of healing.

“Brain is not Mind.”₁ The Holy Spirit is.

[12] I am upset because I see a meaningless world.

And You are saying that the world itself is not the problem but My view of it.  To hear that is very disconcerting!

Indeed, about as disconcerting as finding half a worm in an apple You are eating.  Yet would You prefer to have eaten the entire worm?  Just so, would You want to go on in this miserable existence indefinitely, not knowing something better does exist right here, right now, for You and All Your Brothers?

³ Insane thoughts are upsetting. They produce a world in which there is no order anywhere. Only chaos rules a world which represents chaotic thinking, and chaos has no laws. I cannot live in peace in such a world. I am grateful that this world is not real and that I need not see it at all unless I choose to value it. And I do not choose to value what is totally insane and has no meaning.

As You live these words, You will find both joy and peace and freedom.

[13] A meaningless world engenders fear.

The human dream is both paradoxical and pointless, and quite unfair, with a god belief that embodies all these cruel characteristics.

⁴ The totally insane engenders fear because it is completely undependable and offers no grounds for trust. Nothing in madness is dependable. It holds out no safety and no hope. But such a world is not real. I have given it the illusion of reality, and have suffered from my belief in it. Now I choose to withdraw this belief and place my trust in reality. In choosing this, I will escape all the effects of the world of fear because I am acknowledging that it does not exist.

In doing this You need trust in God as Love, for You are stepping out, with no map, into the unknown.  And I can reassure You that You’ll walk the path of Love I trod without a crucifixion, for I have laid out this path for You with all the chapters in the book.

The journey has no distance, only learning Love.

[14] God did not create a meaningless world.

For everything of God is perfect and has exquisite meaning, including You.

⁵ How can a meaningless world exist if God did not create it? – Obviously it can’t, for there is only One Real Creator.  And that is just God and not the ego. Only One is Real, and that One is God. – He is the Source of all meaning, and everything that is real is in His Mind. It is in my mind too because He created it with me. Why should I continue to suffer from the effects of my own insane thoughts when the perfection of creation is my home? Let me remember the power of my decision and recognize where I really abide.

Heaven is My Home, and not the travesty of Heaven that We call ‘the world’.  Right where the ‘world’ appears to be, it is simply hiding Heaven.

[15] My thoughts are images which I have made.

That’s why they’re ‘Mine’ instead of God’s, and they stand for nothing Real.

⁶ Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. – Not Reality. – It is my thoughts which tell me where I am and what I am. – And where do these thoughts originate but from the egomind.  Or rather, better said: as mindlessness, for it isn’t real. –The fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and loss and death – which are not of God – shows me that I am seeing only the representation of my insane thoughts – (Another time We will discuss again the reason why sin, sickness and death were ego-created) –and am not allowing my real thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see. Yet God’s way is sure. The images I have made cannot prevail against Him because it is not my will that they do so. My will is His, and I will place no other gods before Him. 

This thought will I cherish: that God, Good, is the only Power.
