Study of Text, Chapter 11: III. From Darkness to Light, P 5.9-10-15

III. From Darkness to Light P 5
5 God hides nothing from His Son, even though His Son would hide himself. Yet the Son of God cannot hide his glory, for God wills him to be glorious, and gave him the light that shines in him. You will never lose your way, for God leads you. When you wander, you but undertake a journey that is not real. The dark companions, the dark way, are all illusions. Turn toward the light, for the little spark in you is part of a Light so great that it can sweep you out of all darkness forever. For your Father is your Creator, and you are like Him.

Jesus is just stating facts here. Regardless of appearances, regardless of the illusions I have made, certain things are immutable. They are true right now and will always be true. This is all the Course is trying to help me understand and accept. All the lessons, all the concepts, all the many, many words, are just bringing me to this one thing. I am as God created me. And He created me out of Himself and so that is what I am. I am Light. I am like God.

Last night I had the strangest dreams. I woke up thinking about them and wondering what they meant, if anything, then I forgot about them. But the one thing I can tell you is that while I dreamed of being something strange last night, my dream changed nothing. On awakening this morning, I was till what I was when I went to sleep. While I was dreaming that I was this strange being, I remained exactly what I am now. Even in the midst of the dream of being different, I was not.

This is the same in my waking dream experience. I dream of being a body and having all these strange experiences, but even in the midst of this dream, I haven’t changed. I remain what I have always been, the Son of God. Dreaming I am something else does not make me something else. When I wake up I will probably have the feelings that I had this morning, thinking, “What a strange dream that was.” Will I wonder what it all meant? Or will I simply allow the remnants of the dream to fade away.
