A New Way to See

WB Lesson 59 Thoughts

God goes with me wherever I go.
God is my strength. Vision is His gift.
God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.
God is the light in which I see.
God is the Mind with which I think.

This is what came to mind:

Forgiveness is done for me through the strength of God in me.
I can take my doubt, sorrow, regret, or guilt to God’s alter and leave it there, to be undone.*     
It is illusions I choose to see when I try to see through the body’s eyes. I can see what God wants me to see, when I choose to look with Him. The images that appear to me I have chosen and I can remember they do not matter as they have not changed eternal truth and Love.

* The key is to really leave the thought(s) on the alter. Not to pick them up and attempt to fix them or disperse them by myself. Ego system projects the unwanted and tells me that it is gone, but that is just a lie. I have to give up the thought or belief, totally surrender it, and trust or believe that it is taken care of by that unseen Hand. I need only rest in the softness of surrender, I need only to allow Love in, and I will be led.

My Function, To Let Go

Inspired thoughts:

Your only function is to let go.
You do not have to hold (onto) what hurts you.
You are learning that what the ego wishes does hurt you; it keeps your mind imprisoned by illusions. Learn, then, that you do not want illusions because they do nothing and you can not find happiness in nothing. Therefore, you do not recognize what would give you happiness.

WB 202
Why would I choose to stay an instant more where I do not belong?
Perhaps from an insane idea that the world can give me love or specialness. Or that something here can complete me.  In truth or reality, I have all love. In truth I was created whole and complete, so I lack in no way. If I choose to stay in the world, I can avoid the truth. But I am not a body/ego; I am free to choose again.

This thought I do not want, I choose instead: I will be still an instant and go home.
I am not an ego. I am free. I am still as God created me.

Lost In Illusions

If I support the ego, there is no God. If I support God, there is no ego. It is always one or the other, it cannot be both. I am aware of the false world or the real world. This is all I choose between; either I am in God’s Mind or I am lost in illusions. How happy I will be when I accept that I am the maker of illusion, the dreamer of the dream. Then I can choose to wake and be free of every thought of separation.

Shift and Change

Recently Spirit told me:

The only thing certain about this world is it will change. Images that shift and change have no meaning nor content. The changeless is eternal and is only certain. Your certainty lies in Love for only that is real, only that has meaning.

Trust in your Source to supply whatever you seem to need. Until you understand He has given you everything, you will encounter fear. This is the opportunity to practice listening and letting go of the false idea. In this practice you open more and more to truth, peace and Love. In this way you experience instants of your true Home and not the imagined place you made.

Your miniscule desire to experience the impossible holds this world before your eyes. Your experience of a changing world is only a dream. Desire only the truth, peace or love, and awakening is yours. You may deny the simple truth, but you can never change it. You have a Guide with you always Who leads you out of sleep, Who shares all He knows with you, and Who has no end. Of this you can be certain.

WB Lesson 192 Cliffsnotes

(This is what stood out to me in Workbook lesson 192.)

I have a function God would have me fill.

Creation has no meaning in the world and cannot even be conceived of here. Forgiveness is the closest creation or Love can come to earth.

Forgiveness represents your function here.
Forgiveness: gently looks on all things unknown in Heaven; leaves the world clean of senseless symbols; makes the mind clean for the Word of God; overcomes the belief in death; lets the body be perceived as it is, a simple teaching aid, to be used by the holy Self to extend love.

Only forgiveness can: relieve the mind of thinking the body is its home; restore the peace God intended for His holy Son; persuade the Son to look on his holiness.

We have been given everything by God and need forgiveness to perceive that it is so. Without forgiveness’ light we grope in the dark, using reason to justify our rage, attack and the worship of what is not real. He who has forgiven everyone he sees, thinks of, or imagines, is born again in Christ. Release and you are made free.

Every time you feel anger, from mild irritation to burning rage, realize you hold a sword above your head. And it will be fall or be averted as you choose to be condemned or free. Thus who seems to tempt you to be angry represents your savior from the dream of separation and death.

My Only Purpose

These thoughts came to me:

My only purpose here is to let go of the thoughts of separation. These are the thoughts that hurt me and bind me to illusion. The false thought system that I made (with my belief) is easily, painlessly undone when I want only truth or love. A thought system built on a lies cannot withstand the power or energy of truth. Only truth is true. There is only Love.

The ego system will do anything to keep me from turning inward and going to peace. It does not know peace and therefore can not use it against me. It tries to tempt me, scare me, or fool me to dissuade me from choosing peace. For in peace I find the truth of what I am and everyone is. In peace the false is erased, and I accept truth in its place. In peace I receive and give the gifts I am given. With peace there is no room for fear; understanding shines away the dark. In peace I am the gift of God, sharing truth, seeing innocence, remembering Love.

WB Lesson 189 Cliffsnotes

WB Lesson 189 Cliffsnotes

I feel the Love of God within me now.

The light within me is the reflection of the Love of God that is within me. It was placed within me not to be kept hidden from my sight.

What would you see? You look upon that which you feel [think] within. Today we pass illusions as we seek to reach what is true in us.

Simply do this: Be still and lay aside all thoughts of what you are and what God is; all concepts you have learned about the world; all images you hold about yourself. Empty your mind of everything; hold onto nothing. Do not bring with you one thought the past has taught, nor one belief you ever learned from anything. Forget this world, forget this course, and come with wholly empty hands unto your God.

You need not know the way to Him, He knows the way to you. Your part is simply to allow all obstacles [beliefs] you put between the Son and God the Father to be quietly removed forever. We choose to let Him come, and with this choice we rest. God knows His Son and knows the way to him. Through every open heart His Love shines outward from its Home within, and lightens up the world in innocence. 
And I give thanks.
