IV. The Inheritance of God’s Son P 8
8 Blessed is the Son of God whose radiance is of his Father, and whose glory he wills to share as his Father shares it with him. There is no condemnation in the Son, for there is no condemnation in the Father. Sharing the perfect Love of the Father the Son must share what belongs to Him, for otherwise he will not know the Father or the Son. Peace be unto you who rest in God, and in whom the whole Sonship rests.

Who am I, God? This is the question. It is a question that is asked and answered and to find the answer, I must release all condemnation toward the Son, that is, toward myself and toward my brothers. There is no condemnation in the Son, so I cannot know myself while my awareness is focused on what is not me. There is no condemnation in my Father and so I can rest assured that finding Him in my mind is safe.
This section is devoted to telling us that our inheritance is a Self that is part of God and so like God in every way. It is my inheritance to know my brilliance, my loveliness, my beauty, my power, my perfect and uninterrupted peace. All of this is in me because I am in God where nothing exists that is not God.
It also tells us why it is that we don’t feel like Sons of God, why we don’t see our loveliness when we look on each other, why we don’t feel our power, but rather we feel weakness and vulnerability. It is because we have forgotten that we are incomplete without each other. We are so confused that we believe condemnation protects us and provides a very needed defense against all who would hurt us.
In truth, condemnation is what keeps us in hell. It is what keeps us from knowing our Self and knowing our God. Condemnation has become so much a part of our mind that it passes for normal in our thoughts. I saw how this works this morning when I woke up. I woke up much earlier that I meant to, and since I have a long day and then a meeting tonight, I felt like I should go back to sleep.
I lay there waiting for sleep to overtake me and nothing happened. In that place of nearly awake but not quite, it seems that I am most likely to listen to ego. I had thoughts about what happens when I don’t get enough sleep and began to worry. This, of course, woke me all the way up, and so there was no more going back to sleep.
These thoughts that I was awake and shouldn’t be, that I was going to suffer because I didn’t get a certain amount of sleep, and all the thoughts that followed along that line are attack thoughts. They condemn the Son of God to frailty and prove she is helpless against what she cannot control. Could this be true of the Son of God? Surely, I must be dreaming of frailty.
Since I couldn’t sleep, I woke completely and I asked Holy Spirit how to see this. Immediately, I remembered that I am no longer in charge of this body, this story of Myron. I am surrendered. I told the ego to take it up with the boss. ~smile~ I got out of bed looking forward to discovering why it is I need to be up early this morning. I left the concerns behind me. I will not condemn myself to something less that what God created.
There are so many little ways I condemn all day long. Yesterday, I was vigilant for those opportunities to choose differently. I noticed that I would think about someone I know and dismiss them as not important because I had made a judgment about them long ago. I was passively allowing the judgment to remain in place by not questioning it. I had not even realized I was doing it until I began asking Holy Spirit to undo this kind of thinking in my mind.
Now that I no longer condemn myself for the ego thoughts I find in my mind, I am able to enjoy these opportunities for healing. When I used to judge myself when I found condemnation I would avoid looking and so I saw only the most obvious thoughts. Without judgment, I look forward to a day of undoing with the Holy Spirit.
