Lesson 40 2026

Lesson 40
I am blessed as a Son of God.
1. Today we will begin to assert some of the happy things to which you are entitled, being what you are.
I am blessed as a Son of God. I am happy and peaceful. I woke up at 2:00 and was unable to go back to sleep. I tossed and turned a while trying to get comfortable. By this time, an hour had passed. I talked to the Holy Spirit. I said that I wanted at least another hour of sleep. But I deferred to His decision about what I needed and asked Him to decide for me. It occurred to me to listen to a meditation with a mask over my eyes, and I fell asleep for an hour.
What pleases me about that situation is that in the past, I would have worried about not sleeping and predicted a difficult day. In other words, I would have not only gone without sleep, but I would also have suffered. This didn’t happen. I didn’t worry, and I didn’t think about how tired I would be in the morning. I just asked the Holy Spirit to decide all things for me. I am blessed as a Son of God.
This year, the deductible for my medicine went up, and the out-of-pocket cost of my first prescription was too high for me to pay. Not once did I worry about that. I asked the Holy Spirit to decide for me how to think about this and what to do about it, if anything. This went on for several days, and I just waited to see if anything was required of me.
I had the thought to ask the pharmacy how long they hold the prescription, and I said I didn’t see myself paying that much. She told me to talk to my insurance company and see if they could do anything. I had no idea that could be an option, but I did it. Very quickly, with little effort on my part, they were able to help me, and now it’s all worked out. I got my medicine yesterday, and I didn’t suffer at all as I would have if I had chosen to decide with the ego. If it had turned out that the medicine was unavailable to me, in those days I was waiting to discover the outcome, I saw that I would still have been at peace. I am blessed as a Son of God.
Recognizing that my only calling here is to devote myself with active willingness to the denial of guilt in all its forms has released me from distress that had dogged me recently. Studying the Circle of Atonement section of the Course has added to my blessings. Jesus said,  ⁴I stand within the circle, calling you to peace. ⁵Teach peace with me, and stand with me on holy ground. I felt that calling deep within me. Now I recognize that each person I meet or think of, I either invite into the circle or condemn to stay outside it, and I stand with him either way. My choice is simple and obvious. I cannot accept that blessing for myself and withhold it from anyone else. I am blessed as a Son of God.
Jesus also tells us that “⁶Holiness must be shared, for therein lies everything that makes it holy.” I am holy because you are holy. I will not recognize my own holiness without recognizing yours. We rise or fall together in my awareness of the truth. So, I see the next piece of the puzzle fall into place. My holiness cannot refer to my separate self. It is the natural state of the Self that knows itself as One with all the Sons of God. Anything less than that would be a wish to be alone. I cannot see someone else as separate from me and know that I am blessed as a Son of God. Blessing is recognized in our togetherness.
I let us be one, and in that quiet joining, I remember I am blessed.
