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.

Workbook PART I

L e s s o n  103

God, being Love, is also happiness.

For Be-ing Love is but Be-ing happy.

¹ Happiness is an attribute of love.  It cannot be apart from it, nor can it be experienced where love is not.

Let Me say this plainly: One who doesn’t Love can’t possibly be happy. No way.

Love has no limits, being everywhere. And therefore joy is everywhere as well. Yet can the mind deny that this is so, believing there are gaps in love where sin can enter, bringing pain instead of joy.

In other words, circumstances must decide Your happiness. This just isn’t true.

² This strange belief would limit happiness by redefining love as limited and introducing opposition in what has no limit and no opposite. 

This is a hallmark of the dream: the belief that neither Love nor happiness are omnipresent, and that they can be lost.

Fear is associated then with love, and its results become the heritage of minds that think what they have made is real.

So how could something Real – including Love – not be eternal?

These images, with no reality in truth, bear witness to the fear of God, forgetting being Love, He must be joy.

God is always Love, always Loving You.

Never can You be forsaken by Our omnipresent God.

³ This basic error

– which is to fear God – (You would not fear Love, synonym to God.) –

we will try again to bring to truth today and teach ourselves:

⁴ God, being Love, is also happiness.
To fear Him is to be afraid of joy. 

Again We will go with an acronym for fear: Forgetting Everything’s All Right. For it surely is with great thanks to God, Who does all things well.

⁵ Begin your longer practice periods for today with this association, which corrects the false belief that God is fear.

Why do You think that You believe this? It is pure projection; fear belongs exclusively to Dreamers.

It also emphasizes happiness belongs to you because of what He is. 

This is but the other half of the correction for Your erroneous beliefs.

⁶ Allow this one correction to be placed within your mind each waking hour today.  Then welcome all the happiness it brings, as truth replaces fear, and joy becomes what you expect to take the place of pain. 

This is total shift of mindset from despair to happiness.

God being Love, it will be given you.

You can rest assured.

Bolster this expectation frequently throughout the day,

– feel the joy of it! –

and quiet all your fears with this assurance, kind and wholly true:

⁷ God, being Love, is also happiness. 
And it is happiness I seek today. 
I cannot fail because I seek the truth. 

And in seeking Truth I am seeking God; mindful of His promise down through the ages: … … “You will call upon Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you. You will seek Me and find Me when you search for Me with all your heart.”

Jeremiah Chapter 29:12, 13.
