LESSON SIXTY-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.

Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.

What is Your forgiveness but the recognition of Every One as the belovèd Son and as Your belovèd Brother.   And as this Light dawns as You, do You become illumined too.

¹ It is your forgiveness that will bring the world of darkness to the light. – When His friends brought the palsied man to Me for healing, They couldn’t get Him in the door, for all the people, and so They brought Him through the ceiling!  Will You approach forgiveness with the same determination, for that’s what’s needed!  This is why the Bible says that You must Love God with all Your heart and soul and might and mind, and I followed that with this addendum: And Love Your Neighbour as Yourself.₁  – It is your forgiveness that lets you recognize the light in which you see. – For the unforgiving heart is resolutely being blind. – Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the light of the world. – The kind willingness to see Your Brother through the eyes of Love does bring to Your eyes illumination. – Through your forgiveness does the truth about yourself return to your memory. Therefore in your forgiveness lies your salvation.

For the same eyes of Love that behold God within Your Brother can see God as You.  For when You free Your Brother from the chains of ‘sin’, You free Yourself from them as well.

² Illusions about yourself and the world are one. That is why all forgiveness is a gift to yourself. Your goal is to find out who you are, having denied your identity by attacking creation and its Creator. Now you are learning how to remember the truth. For this, attack must be replaced by forgiveness so that thoughts of life may replace thoughts of death.

Way back in what You think of as ‘time’, recorded in the Bible, You did redo Creation, pretending to be God, and then made Yourselves over into something that You called ‘man’.  And man is not the Son of God, and nor is woman; for the Son of God is quite complete, not fragmented.

For never was there a ‘beginning’, not to God, nor to You as His Offspringting.  ‘Time’ came from the separation, for the Real is Eternal.

The separation is – plain and simple – an attack – blatant – on Reality; and, therefore, on God.

³ Remember that in every attack you call upon your own weakness, while every time you forgive you call upon the strength of Christ in you.  – And please do remember that forgiveness comes not of Your largess, but from Your Love. It is natural to Your Living Love. – Do you not then begin to understand what forgiveness will do for you? – It will restore Your Self to You. Listen: It will remove all sense of weakness, strain, and fatigue from your mind. It will take away all fear and guilt and pain. – These are the things that hide Your Self from You. For You are really super man, super in the sense of far on beyond the concept ‘man’ (or ‘woman’). – It will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His Son to your awareness.

Your True Be-ing is much more than You have ever realized as You languish dreaming.

⁴ Let us be glad to begin and end this day by practicing today’s idea and to use it as frequently as possible throughout the day. It will help to make the day as happy for you as God wants you to be. And it will help those around you as well as those who seem to be far away in space and time to share this happiness with you.

⁵ As often as you can, closing your eyes if possible, say to yourself:

⁶ Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.
I would fulfill my function that I may be happy.

Let Me remember always that I am here for giving not for getting.  It is in giving that I understand that My completeness is full and running over.  I have infinity of Love with which to gift My Brother.

⁷ Then devote a minute or two to considering your function and the happiness and release it will bring you.

And spend a little time contemplating the peace and joy that always being Loved will bring Your Brother.  Happiness for You.  Happiness for Him.  Another win-win.

⁸ Let related thoughts come freely, for your heart will recognize these words, and in your mind is the awareness that they are true. Should your attention wander, repeat the idea and add:

⁹ I would remember this because I want to be happy.

Thank You dear Elder Brother.  Never have I dreamed that happiness could be this consistent.  How very radiant and luminous is giving.

¹ Mark 12

And one of the scribes came, and having heard them reasoning together, and perceiving that he had answered them well, asked him, Which is the first commandment of all? 29. And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord: 30. And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment. 31. And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these. 32. And the scribe said unto him, Well, Master, thou hast said the truth: for there is one God; and there is none other but he: 33. And to love him with all the heart, and with all the understanding, and with all the soul, and with all the strength, and to love his neighbour as himself, is more than all whole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD: And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might. And these words, which I command thee this day, shall be in thine heart: 7And thou shalt teach them diligently unto thy children, and shalt talk of them when thou sittest in thine house, and when thou walkest by the way, and when thou liest down, and when thou risest up. And thou shalt bind them for a sign upon thine hand, and they shall be as frontlets between thine eyes. And thou shalt write them upon the posts of thy house, and on thy gates.

[Thank you Dear Brother]
