Study of Text, Chapter 11: IV: The Inheritance of God’s Son, P 2. 9-22-15

IV. The Inheritance of God’s Son P 2
2 Could you try to make God homeless and know that you are at home? Can the Son deny the Father without believing that the Father has denied him? God’s laws hold only for your protection, and they never hold in vain. What you experience when you deny your Father is still for your protection, for the power of your will cannot be lessened without the intervention of God against it, and any limitation on your power is not the Will of God. Therefore, look only to the power that God gave to save you, remembering that it is yours because it is His, and join with your brothers in His peace.

Journal
My decision to be without God makes me feel homeless and my denial of God makes me feel like God is denying me. All of this can be undone in the moment I stop making that decision. I am powerful because I was created powerful, being an extension of God. I can end this sham any time I want to. I have been given the means to do so and created with the power to use the means. That I am still living a dream is the result of my desire to do so, and not because I can’t wake up.

Probably most Course students have had the thought that they just wish God would pluck them out of this nightmare; He is all powerful and certainly He could do this, so why doesn’t he? The answer to that question is that for God to intervene to get us out of something we chose to experience would be to lessen the power of our will. Jesus says that any limitation of our power is not God’s Will.

This does not leave us lost in our dreams because we do have the power to undo what we have done. We also have the means to do so because it is God’s Will that we have it. The means is in Him and so it is in us. That awakening is so simple causes us to doubt its effectiveness, because we are so accustomed to thinking with the ego mind that depends on complexity to hide its unreality. The truth is we only need to desire awakening to set in motion the means to awaken. From that desire flows the process of awareness of what is not God in our mind, and the release of the untrue beliefs to the Holy Spirit.
