WB Lesson 292 (in First Person)

God guarantees that only joy can be the final outcome found for everything. Yet while I think an alien will is real and opposes His Will I will not find the end He has appointed.
His Will is done in earth and Heaven. I will seek and find according to His Will, which guarantees that our will is done.
Help me not interfere, and so delay the happy endings You have promised me for every problem I can perceive; for every trial think I still must meet.

Feelings of loss prevail—- which means only that I’m holding the ego’s hand. I am very mistaken in this, but yet will not let it go.
H.S. help me see this differently. The ego is not my final goal, no matter how it tempts me. Help me recognize that all feeling of loss and lack come from it. My mistaken idea is nothing more than error, it has no life of itself. When I stop paying attention to it, it will cease to exist.

H.S. strengthen my resolve; I am willing to hear only Your Voice. Above all else I want to see differently, above all else I want the truth. Be in my mind all through the day. T.Y.V.M.

What Is the Real World?

In the real world nothing remains outside of forgiveness. And the sights are gentle. Only happy sights and sounds can reach the mind that has forgiven itself.

The mind that has forgiven itself has no need of thoughts of death, attack and murder. No danger lurks in anything it sees, for it is kind and only kindness does it look upon.

Nothing in the real world remains outside of forgiveness. The world I see reflects the terror of a mind that thinks it has done the impossible and must suffer the consequence of attack on its Creator.
A mind that has forgiven itself is at peace because it sees the unreal as it is and has let Love be Itself. It sees nothing to be condemned or judged against.

In just an instant of wholly willing to see differently, the gift of true vision is given me. Not more than an instant is asked, for Love knows not of sacrifice. My intent will be to see the real world more often, till knowledge replaces my wisps of dreaming.

How Do I Choose?

Earlier this came to mind:

This separation/independence has given me nothing that I want. I chose by myself and I was wrong. I am willing to choose differently. I let go of all past decisions. I let Spirit make all decisions for me, knowing He leads me to peace.

Only the ego says that I am guilty. In its insanity it does not know the truth and will not let go of its fantasy. It is the stranger I invited in and made it owner of my home. Insane thoughts made a meaningless world.

I have no control over a meaningless world, but I do have a choice of what thoughts are in my mind. I can let go of all thoughts that hurt. I invite Holy Spirit to abide with me and do not tolerate the nonsense of ego. I ask H.S. to make all decisions for me because in my state of confusion I do not know what anything means or what it is for.

Loss Is Not Loss

Recently the following thoughts came to mind:

If you are as Love created you, then how can you suffer any loss, or pain or grief?
Love created you as an extension of Itself, one and the same. You can dream of deprivation, punishment and sorrow, but never is a dream made reality. Only Love is real.

Loss is not loss when properly perceived. The Holy Spirit is Love’s gift to you, that you have vision beyond the body’s eyes. That you have peace that is infinite. And that you remember the complete innocence and perfection of which you were created.

I give my mind to God (today and every day).
I will not lose anything but only gain when I let go of my grip on control. I only deceive myself with fantasies of a separate life apart from my Source. If I could really be apart, I would not be at all.

I am safe in the Mind of God.
Somewhere in my mind I know this truth.
Here I am at Home. Only here I place my trust.
I place the future in the Hands of God.

Morning Thoughts

Spirit:
This world was made only that illusions could appear to be apart from you, or that your thoughts could seem to be apart from you. This in itself is impossible. Thoughts leave not their Source.

This world but pictures fear, and so becomes a source of fear. It has not left your mind. Projection only keeps the error going, and the guilt hidden. Remember: you only hate your brother for what you think you have done. You think you have separated your self from God. Is this a belief worth protecting or keeping? It has value only to those who wish to be deprived of love and who but the insane has desire for what never was?

No matter how horrible the picture you have made, you do love your Father, and you want to be with Him. There is a place in your mind in which your Holy Self abides. It has not forgotten the truth, It has not denied that Love created it. It remains true to It’s Source, its thoughts are real being part of Love.

Every accusation, every outrageous demand, every personal attack, are calls for help and love. Whether it comes from another or from your own mind. You have no need to defend against anything, you are as God created you, wholly safe and wholly loved.
