LESSON FIFTY SEVEN

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.

Lesson 31 – Lesson 35

 

¹ Today let us review these ideas:

[31] I am not the victim of the world I see. Actually, it is the victim of Me. For I see it quite differently from its true reality.

² How can I be the victim of a world that can be completely undone if I so choose? Is this really true? I wish I knew this easy thing to do? I hear You saying that I surely do. You say it to Me upteen times a day! “Stay connectied! To Me, not error!”  Ask You what to do! Make no decisions on My own at all. (Yes, Sister; it’s mis-spelled deliberately!) My chains are loosened. I can drop them off merely by desiring to do so. The prison door is open. My cell has no walls; I could split right now. I can leave it simply by walking out. You’ve said this to Me before Brother; to just simply go, and loved Ones will follow. For it is not a journey from place to place, but rather from one state of mind right into another. Nothing holds me in this world. Only my wish to stay keeps me a prisoner. I would give up my insane wishes and walk into the sunlight at last. You need but to have heartfelt desire.  Remember, God takes the last step for You. This makes it easy. Take My hand. Once You have found It, never, ever let it go! (Yes! Same tune as “Some Enchanted Evening.)

What has ‘independence’ ever gotten You but misery?

[32] I have invented the world I see.  That is a bit unsettling to Me! I don’t want to take responsibility for the mess I see! I’d prefer to put it off on God. He’s the Creator.

Well not exactly. God creates but Reality; dreams are of Your own making. That’s why You need never accept sin, sickness, death. They’re the stuff of which dreams are made. They are never real.  You sin, sicken die, solely from Your own beliefs and not the Laws of God. Get real!

Think about it. Is it reasonable? Would a loving Father-Mother kill His Children off? Or is this whol thing one stupendous dream produced by the ego as an insane director?

³ I made up the prison in which I see myself.  Which I call ‘the world’. It is no such thing.  It is God’s Kingdom seen through a strange screen; like a shadow play. It’s all done with shadows; in this case, the ego ‘consciousness’.  ‘Conscious’ it is not. At first, it seemed entertaining, then fast became addiction.  The rest is literally history. All I need do is recognize this, and I am free. And really get it. For freedom hasn’t come so easily. I have deluded myself into believing it is possible to imprison the Son of God.  I was bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no longer want. And I was evidently quite convincing, since I can’t seem to shake that belief.  The Son of God must be forever free. “Son of God” is Me! He is as God created him, and not what I would make of him. I remain as God is right now expressing Me; and yet it is so hard to see! He is where God would have him be, – S/He’s in His Right Mind – and not where I thought to hold him prisoner. In the bitter mindset of the ego.

[33] There is another way of looking at the world.            

Through the eyes of the Son of God, and not the ego’s narrowed, skewed, so-called vision.

⁴ Since the purpose of the world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be another way of looking at it. New views which happily conform to God. I see everything upside down, and my thoughts are the opposite of truth. In other words,  they are lies about Reality, about everything I see. Pure insanity.I see the world as a prison for God’s Son. It must be, then, that the world is really a place where he can be set free. I would look upon the world as it is, and see it as a place where the Son of God finds his freedom. As yet, the Son of God has not realized just how He longs to regain freedom. It bases his every addiction.

[34] I could see peace instead of this. These words are as sweet music to my mind. I hear them singing.

⁵ When I see the world as a place of freedom, I will realize that it reflects the laws of God instead of the rules which I made up for it to obey.  It will begin to seem a little more like Heaven with that realization; at least the possibility has appeared. I will understand that peace, not war, abides in it. And I will perceive that peace also abides in the hearts of all who share this place with me.

[35] My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy. Therefore, I am forever; We All are! (Sing hallelujah!)

⁶ As I share the peace of the world with my brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes from deep within myself. The ego does its ‘best’ to keep it hidden. We All are this place of peace, whenever We allow it. The world I look upon has taken on the light of my forgiveness and shines forgiveness back at me. How beautiful; I’d no idea We were all so very lovely! Beautiful! Yes! We surely are! In this light, I begin to see what my illusions about myself had kept hidden. I begin to understand the holiness of all living things including myself, and their oneness with me.

How exquisite is this experience that We’ve called ‘the world’ when it slips back into Be-ing Heaven. For We’ve changed Our minds.
