LESSON THREE HUNDRED THIRTY 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.

Forgiveness lets me know that minds are joined.

When I am sure My Brother’s wrong, or even worse, He’s evil, then have I separated Myself from Him; for I do this but to make Myself look better in comparison to Him.

Yes, the ego really is that sleazy.

¹ Forgiveness is the means appointed for perception’s ending. For perception does but misperceive God’s great Reality. Knowledge is restored after perception first is changed and then gives way entirely to what remains forever past its highest reach.  God’s great and lovely Universe awaits Your Awakening. For sights and sounds at best can serve but to recall the memory that lies beyond them all.  Yes!  Such loving joy does await Us All, when the Sonship is again united. Forgiveness sweeps away distortions and opens the hidden altar to the truth. Its lilies shine into the mind and call it to return and look within, to find what it has vainly sought without.  The world of ‘things’ is but an illusion. for All is but Thought, Divine Consciousness. For here and only here is peace of mind restored, for this the dwelling-place of God Himself.  What is Heaven but the happiness of Mind, of Good Itself.

² In quiet may forgiveness wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin.  In the stillness of My mind (quieting the ego and its jabbering) Reality speaks to Me. Then let me, Father, look within and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your Word remains unchanged within my mind; Your Love is still abiding in my heart.  In the quiet I can hear and feel You.  And I know Myself as the Love You are.

What is the Ego?

The stranger and usurper You invented to hide the Son of God, replacing Him with an imaginary idol.  A miscreation that You revere and worship.

¹ The ego is idolatry- – worshiping itself – the sign of limited and separated self, born in a body, doomed to suffer and to end its life in death.  It’s blind to its own obvious insanity, sure its insane thoughts are normal.  The idea of Life dying makes perfect sense to the ego. It is the will that sees the Will of God as enemy and takes a form in which It is denied. The Will of God is but good for all, and thus ever-present. The ego wills good only for itself and never finds it. The ego is the “proof” that strength is weak and love is fearful, life is really death, and what opposes God alone is true.  Is it not obvious that the ego is insanity? Not to the insane.

² The ego is insane. In fear it stands beyond the Everywhere, apart from All, in separation from the Infinite. Or so it believes, yet its beliefs are those of lunacy. In its insanity it thinks it has become a victor over God Himself, – with delusions of grandeur it is rife; absolutely mad – and in its terrible autonomy, it “sees” the Will of God has been destroyed. (itself the victor; always center stage; madness unbounded) It dreams of punishment and trembles at the figures in its dreams, its enemies who seek to murder it before it can ensure its safety by attacking them.  Violent thoughts, often masked by a ‘smile’.  Don’t trust the ego, for its hatred also includes itself.

³ The Son of God is egoless. For S/He is the true Love of God revealed.  With purest Love S/He does adore Her Source and never leaves It. What can he know of madness and the death of God when he abides in Him?  As Truth, S/He does abide as God’s belovèd Presence What can he know of sorrow and of suffering when he lives in eternal joy? What can he know of fear and punishment, of sin and guilt, of hatred and attack when all there is surrounding him is everlasting peace, forever conflict-free and undisturbed in deepest silence and tranquility?  Son of God, wake up!  Why choose You dreaming?  You’re missing so much Love and happiness, clarity and peace.!

⁴ To know Reality is not to see the ego and its thoughts, its works, its acts, its laws and its beliefs, its dreams, its hopes, its plans for its salvation, and the cost belief in it entails. For it does take such endless conniving to split Your mind off from God, then to keep maintaining the split. In suffering, the price for faith in it is so immense that crucifixion of the Son of God is offered daily at its darkened shrine and blood must flow before the altar where its sickly followers prepare for death.  Truly Divinity is far preferable to playing at being ‘human’.

⁵ Yet will one lily of forgiveness – remember, I have but asked You for “a little willingness” – change the darkness into light, the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself.  Infinite Radiance, pure happiness; gone is all sorrow, healed by Its pure joy.  And peace will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as His Son, – You and You and You and You; every blessèd, belovèd One of You, You, You.  All are included! – His dwelling-place, His joy, His love, completely His, completely one with Him.  As thoughts people Mind, let but Divine qualities people thought: Life, Truth, Love, Spirit.

Start with living those; You’ll soon be happy!
