A New Way to See

God’s Answer

I was gifted these thoughts recently. It may be helpful to read WB Lesson 359.

God’s Answer is always some form of peace.
When I choose for peace, then I learn forgiveness.
Since forgiveness is my true function here, I must choose peace first. Choosing peace makes room for the Voice for Love.  Peace makes room for me to hear and receive the truth. Love is always present and peace allows me to be in the present. Peace means I have relinquished the past and have no interest in the future. I stay in the present moment, to give and receive peace.

If I want God’s Answer then I must accept peace. Peace is my only goal. I have no use for conflict in my mind—I move beyond the battle and seek the peace that is an attribute of my Self. God’s Word is written on my heart and I will find it in the peace of the present moment. To have peace I must give peace. Peace is my choice, moment to moment. I choose peace and let all things be as they are. My will is God’s Will, in peace I learn that this is so.

When 2 minds have a common purpose (peace as our one goal) that is a holy relationship. When one minds peace is threatened, both minds will be effected. Let the saner mind then offer the H. Spirit this instant to restore peace, bringing healing to both minds. The goal is peace. In the relationship, we trust that Holy Spirit is our Teacher. We ask for His interpretation whenever our peace is threatened.

—No wonder the ego system is so vigilant against peace!
Peace IS God’s answer—if I’m accepting His answer, then I’m not accepting the ego answer. I’m not accepting fear, pain, autonomy, and guilt.  When I accept peace the value on the world and the separation thought system falls away. I do not keep what is recognized as valueless. Thoughts based on separation are seen as valueless. I change my mind about what I want and my mind changes its pursuit. My mind is changed about its purpose when I choose peace.
The ego does not want these changes,  or my remembering the truth. 

Peace is my only goal.
In peace I am asking to be taught to forgive; forgiveness is the only thing I can learn and teach while in this world. Forgiveness is my purpose here. Let me fill my purpose and be happy.

Purpose For this Year

I received these thoughts recently.

I am determined to see things differently.
I have made the images I think I “see.” These images reflect my thoughts. They represent what I think I am and what I want to see (or make real).
My sick thoughts show me a fearful unforgiving world—where alienation is the “norm.” My healed thoughts show me a forgiven world where the Son of God is whole, complete and without fear. The healed thoughts show me a world where Love is everywhere because there never was a limit on Love. Love can be Itself because I have forgiven my images and myself for making them.

This is what I want the “new year” to be for me, where I forgive and am forgiven. Where I teach peace and teach love. Where I no longer deceive myself with false images and false thinking. Where I cease choosing the ego system of “living” which is fear based. I choose now the direction I receive from Holy Spirit. I choose for Love. I choose for Light to shine away the fear thoughts. I choose for true perception with H.S. I choose to accept H.S.‘s definition of what anything means.

Specialness will only hurt me. I change my choice of looking for specialness in this world. I seek for what is given to me in truth. Let me seek only the Love of God. Let me accept the peace of God. For His peace and love are within me, forever. I remain as Love created me. I remain as pure and sinless as I was created. Nothing can change God’s Creation, nothing changes His endless Love.

I truly give this year to Him. I would have this be the year of Christ, the year of Love. I would receive this so I may extend the gifts of Truth and know they are mine to give.
Heal my mind, my Father, it is sick.
I would hide nothing, but give it all to be healed.
I would hold nothing back, but return to Love.


I have a new way to see.
I observe the games I am involved in.
I observe the characters I put into the play.
I observe my responses.
I have a new way to see.
I ask for Holy Spirit’s interpretation of every act.
I accept His definition of every scene.
I accept His word and thought for my own.
I thank Him for His truth and devote myself to listening to Him.
I follow His Guidance for me, for He leads me to my Self.
I have and use a new way to see.
Thank you God, I love You God.
