Workbook PART I

I am blessed as a Son of God.

I am the blessèd Son of God, along with All My Others.  For what I see myself to be, so I am for all Eternity, unless I make another choice, for thoughts do rule Me.

¹ Today we will begin to assert some of the happy things to which you are entitled, being what you are. Ego defense can take a needed est! No long practice periods are required today, but very frequent short ones are necessary. Once every ten minutes would be highly desirable, and you are urged to attempt this schedule and to adhere to it whenever possible. If you forget, try again. If there are long interruptions, try again. Whenever you remember, try again. It is glorious to have a day devoted solely to Your greatest blessing.: to be What You are. Sing Hallelujah!

When You, too, remember that You really are the Son of God, and give it life instead of lip service, it is sure You will sing Hallelujah! … And joy to the world!

² You need not close your eyes for the exercise periods, although you will probably find it more helpful if you do. However, you may be in a number of situations during the day when closing your eyes would not be appropriate. Do not miss a practice period because of this. You can practice quite well under almost any circumstance, if you really want to.  Desire is key.  It can open doors to Heaven or to hell for You; it depends on what You want.

 

³ Today’s exercises take little time and no effort. Repeat today’s idea, and then add several of the attributes which you associate with being a Son of God, applying them to yourself. One practice period might, for example, consist of the following:

⁴ I am blessed as a Son of God.
I am happy, peaceful, loving, and contented.

No matter what Your present outlook may be now, You are entitled to all Good.

⁵ Another might be something as follows:

⁶ I am blessed as a Son of God.
I am calm, quiet, assured, and confident. 

Sound impossible? It is the right of every Son of God.

⁷ If only a brief period is available, merely telling yourself that you are blessed as a Son of God will do.  The most important thing to You is that You really do it!
