LESSON FIFTY-FIVE
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’s review includes the following:

[21] I am determined to see things differently.

For there has to be not only a better way, but a better world, one that is more like to Heaven.  And I am quite determined to see it!  It now means more to Me than anything.

I do not want to fix the world I see, for it is but one of separation.  I want to find the world that’s just one step away from Heaven.

It is not out there, but within My mind that Vision takes place.

² What I see now are but signs of disease, disaster, and death. This cannot be what God created for His beloved Son.

Of Whom I am One.  This means that better vision is both possible and available to Me, and to All My Brothers.

The very fact that I see such things is proof that I do not understand God. Therefore I also do not understand His Son. What I see tells me that I do not know who I am. – That is a problem! – I am determined to see the witnesses to the truth in me, rather than those that show me an illusion of myself.

For I long to Know Myself – remember Who I am – more than any ‘worldly’ thing!

 

[22] What I see is a form of vengeance.

Indeed it is: vengeance upon Your God.  The words are strong, yet needed, to describe the separation.

It did not flow from Love, but arrogant self-will, which You are finally getting is simply out-pictured in the world You pushed ‘out there’.  Yet it is wholly in Your mind.

³ The world I see is hardly the representation of loving thoughts. It is a picture of attack on everything and by everything. It is anything but a reflection of the Love of God and the love of His Son. It is my own attack thoughts which give rise to this picture. My loving thoughts will save me from this perception of the world and give me the peace God intended me to have.

God’s intention for Me now (and always) is forever Good and Holy.  What a reassuring thought.  With thoughts like this, We’re inhaling Heaven.  Thanks be to God for Be-ing Our Real Mind.

We need do nothing but see the Universe He is Be-ing.  I seem to not be able to control My eyes, nor do I need to.  For My eyes but do obey My thinking.

Thank You Elder Brother for sharing with Us so much better thinking.  The happiness that You’re sharing with Us is phenomenal.

[23] I can escape from the world by giving up attack thoughts.

Therefore, I need not be at all frightened for Others or Myself by all the horrors of the world.  They but outpicture the horrors of Our strange collective thinking.

⁴ Herein lies my salvation, and nowhere else. Without attack thoughts I could not see a world of attack. As forgiveness allows love to return to my awareness, I will see a world of peace and safety and joy. And it is this that I choose to see, in place of what I look on now.

I will use My will and My desire in a loving way, so that My thoughts of Love are blessing Every One.  To give Love is My Life’s purpose.

For it is but Love alone that We are either here for-giving or for-getting.

[24] I do not perceive my own best interests.

The ego-mindset is alone focused on getting, in its quest for ‘happiness’.  ‘Getting’ has not ever blessed Anyone.  And it hides the True Selfhood of the Son, of Whom You are One.

⁵ How could I recognize my own best interests when I do not know who I am? What I think are my best interests would merely bind me closer to the world of illusions. I am willing to follow the Guide God has given me to find out what my own best interests are, recognizing that I cannot perceive them by myself.

My Real best interests, Gifts of God, can’t be anything but Good.

[25] I do not know what anything is for.

How can I when I am clueless to God’s Good Reality?  All I really know of Good is that it must be Love, the Love that’s here for Giving.

The ‘hows’ and ‘whys’ and ‘whats’ and ‘wheres’ are a mystery to Me.

They won’t be for long.  For desire is a prayer that’s always answered, because You are the Son of God.  And the Father’s good pleasure, certain it is, to give You the entire Kingdom.

⁶ To me, the purpose of everything is to prove that my illusions about myself are real. It is for that purpose that I attempt to use everyone and everything. It is this that I believe the world is for. Therefore I do not recognize its real purpose. The purpose I have given the world has led to a frightening picture of it. Let me open my mind to its real purpose by withdrawing the one I have given it, and learning the truth about it.

     Dear Brother, thank You for Your faithfulness,     down through the ages, never giving up on Us.  Your patient Teaching is bearing some good lovely fruit. Hearts opening and flowering in grateful transformation.  Dear blessèd Jesus.
