LESSON ONE HUNDRED-FIFTY-SIX

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.

I walk with God in perfect holiness.

I walk as God as perfect holiness.  For every step I take connected with Him in My mind must be as He, and He is very Holy; Holiness Itself.

And yet it is hard to believe that the Truth refers to Me.  For I seem quite profane, far from holy.  Yet here You say, even if I don’t really believe it, I still must be as He.  That is wonderful!

¹ Today’s idea but states the simple truth that makes the thought of sin impossible. It promises there is no cause for guilt, and being causeless it does not exist. Only Good is Real.  You can trust these words, despite the doubting scorn of the ego.  It is a liar and has always been.  Only God is True! You are part of God, so You must be True. It follows surely from the basic thought so often mentioned in the text-ideas leave not their source. If this be true, how can you be apart from God? How could you walk the world alone and separate from your Source?  So if You are here, then God must be too.  The separation is only a dream; albeit it seems complicated and on a giant scale.  As You Awaken, it just vanishes.

² We are not inconsistent in the thoughts that we present in our curriculum.  Unlike what religions teach, God is consistency itself. “Vengeance is mine” is not in His Mind or vocabulary! Truth must be true throughout if it be true. It cannot contradict itself nor be in parts uncertain and in others sure. You cannot walk the world apart from God because you could not be without Him. Despite Your beliefs, which are quite insane, God is Every One’s constant Companion.  He is what your life is. Where you are, He is. There is one Life. That Life you share with Him. Nothing can be apart from Him and live.  He is Life Itself.  There cannot be a life apart from Him.

³ Yet where He is there must be holiness as well as life. No attribute of His remains unshared by everything that lives.  To You, life is something governed by the body, removing God totally from the picture. What lives is holy as Himself because what shares His life is part of Holiness and could no more be sinful than the sun could choose to be of ice, the sea elect to be apart from water, or the grass to grow with roots suspended in the air.

All things are as God would have them be, including You and Me.

⁴ There is a Light in you Which cannot die, – for You’re Light Itself – Whose Presence is so holy that the world is sanctified because of you. All things that live bring gifts to you and offer them in gratitude and gladness at your feet. The scent of flowers is their gift to you. The waves bow down before you, and the trees extend their arms to shield you from the heat and lay their leaves before you on the ground that you may walk in softness, while the wind sinks to a whisper round your holy head.  All the Universe loves and reveres the Holy Son of God, Who responds in kind.  All things do exist to give Our Others happiness and peace, and to receive them.

This is the purpose of the Universe.  The Love described above, All Things do give and receive.  Now do You see why I say Your only purpose here is for giving.  Giving what but Love, for Spirit needs no ‘things’, for Spirit is complete, including all the Universe.

“The sunbeams that shine,

They’re Yours, They’re Mine.”

All Ideas of God are Gifts sublime.

⁵ The Light in you is what the universe longs to behold. All living things are still before you, for they recognize Who walks with you. The light you carry is their own, and thus they see in you their holiness, saluting you as savior and as God. Accept their reverence, for it is due to Holiness itself Which walks with you, transforming in Its gentle Light all things into Its likeness and Its purity.  What is this Holiness, but God’s Love.  And it is so freely given to You.

⁶ This is the way salvation works. As you – who think Yourselves to be but an ego – step back, the Light in you steps forward and encompasses the world. It heralds not the end of sin in punishment and death. In lightness and in laughter is it gone, because its quaint absurdity is seen.  And glad You are to see it go back to nothing. It is a foolish thought, a silly dream, not frightening, ridiculous perhaps, but who would waste an instant in approach to God Himself for such a senseless whim?  God has but great things for You forever.

⁷ Yet you have wasted many, many years on just this foolish thought. The past is gone with all its fantasies. Yet once they are gone, seen for what they weren’t, now are You free! They keep you bound no longer. The approach to God is near. And in the little interval of doubt which still remains, you may perhaps lose sight of your Companion, and mistake Him for the senseless, ancient dream that now is past.  Keep Him close in Your mind, and You will not lose Your way again.

^{8 “} Who walks with me?” This question should be asked a thousand times a day, till certainty has ended doubting and established peace.  Till You feel His constant Presence with You. Today let doubting cease. God speaks for you in answering your question with these words:

⁹ I walk with God in perfect holiness. In perfect Oneness. I light the world, I light my mind and all
The minds which God created one with me.

Father-Mother Presence  Be-ing Me; in every need I look to Thee; Thou art there.

[Thank you Dear Brother]
