LESSON ONE HUNDRED-SIXTY-FIVE

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.

Let not my mind deny the Thought of God. 

Choosing once again to own the ego’s thoughts do I deny Who and What I am.

¹ What makes this world seem real except your own denial of the truth which lies beyond?  Why would You keep opting for the familiar when it has brought You not a thing but suffering and pain?  Is it just a habit or are You consciously attached to sleeping and dreaming?

What but your thoughts of misery and death obscure the perfect happiness and the Eternal Life your Father wills for you?  What but Your stuckness in the habits of acting like an ego and doing only what pleases You.  Look how high the cost.

And what could hide what cannot be concealed except illusion?  In other words, Your fantasies are all that are between You and Reality.

What could keep from you what you already have except your choice to see it not, denying it is there?   Preferring to continue to abide in the realm of dreams.

² The Thought of God created you. –  Out from His consciousness You are flowing. – It left you not, nor have you ever been apart from It an instant.  You can’t for it would be impossible, since there is no You – or I – apart from God.  Again, the finger cannot leave the hand; what use would it be without it? Nor can You or it exist without a Source.  How flows the stream without its origin?  A bird song without a bird to sing it. – It belongs to you. By It you live. It is your Source of life, holding you one with It, – There is no separation. None whatsoever.  All things are as One Connection. – and everything is one with you because It left you not. The Thought of God protects you, cares for you, makes soft your resting place and smooth your way, lighting your mind with happiness and love. – Your Source Loves You so! – Eternity and everlasting life shine in your mind because the Thought of God has left you not and still abides with you.  How could the Thought of God leave You?  It’s not a thing apart, since It is Be-ing You.

³ Who would deny his safety and his peace, his joy, his healing and his peace of mind, his quiet rest, his calm awakening if he but recognized where they abide? Would he not instantly prepare to go where they are found, abandoning all else as worthless in comparison with them? And having found them, would he not make sure they stay with him and he remains with them?  Of course, He would had He not become addicted to the dream in which they aren’t.

⁴ Deny not Heaven. It is yours today but for the asking.  Can it be that simple, be that easy?  It can and it is.

Nor need you perceive how great the gift, how changed your mind will be before it comes to you. Ask to receive, and it is given you.  – For it is Yours already.  By Your asking You simply allow Yourself the experience of It. – Conviction lies within it. – Once It is Yours again, You see that It forever is Yours. – Till you welcome it as yours, uncertainty remains. Yet God is fair. Sureness is not required to receive what only your acceptance can bestow.  You are always Loved.  You are always safe.  It but takes allowing to realize this.

⁵ Ask with desire. Not to ask is to disregard Our Source, Our belovèd God.

You need not be sure that you request the only thing you want.  All that is asked of You is but that “little willingness” that You might receive it.

But when you have received, you will be sure you have the treasure you have always sought. What would you then exchange it for? What would induce you now to let it fade away from your ecstatic vision? For this sight proves that you have exchanged your blindness for the seeing eyes of Christ; your mind has come to lay aside denial and accept the Thought of God as its inheritance.  Feel Peace infill You.

⁶ Now is all doubting past, the journey’s end made certain, and salvation given you. Now is Christ’s power in your mind to heal as you were healed. For now you are among the saviors of the world. Your destiny lies there and nowhere else. Would God consent to let His Son remain forever starved by his denial of the nourishment he needs to live? – Is not Spirit complete and eternal? Yes! You know It is. – Abundance dwells in him, and deprivation cannot cut him off from God’s sustaining Love and from his home.  And You are Home to God’s eternal Love.  It is both Your very Source and Substance.

⁷ Practice today in hope. For hope indeed is justified. Your doubts are meaningless, for God is certain.  And what is hope in the Bible – and as I use it here – but confidence in Good.

And the Thought of Him is never absent.  On this fact is base Your absolute confidence, Your peace and joy.  Hence come My words: I am always with You.

Sureness must abide within you who are host to Him. This course removes all doubts which you have interposed between Him and your certainty of Him. We count on God and not upon ourselves to give us certainty. And in His Name we practice as His Word directs we do. His sureness lies beyond our every doubt. His Love remains beyond our every fear. The Thought of Him is still beyond all dreams and in our minds according to His Will.  Here now is the fact: God is Be-ing the pure You – the Real – and the only choice You have is will You not or will You choose to experience It.
