Good morning, Welcome, welcome by the lesson of today. So it's an
exciting day because for the first time this year, we're gonna be introduced to
the Holy Spirit in lesson forty three. So let me grab the lesson.
God is my source. I cannot see apart from Him. That's a lesson
for today. And there were three things that really UH stood out to me
when I was preparing for this lesson. That is a perception, salvation and
awareness and and I l I I look through the course to to UH get
some clarity about what is it, what is it actually UH that I'm seeing?
And I I looked at the UH further on in the work book,
you have like a I H ten days that are accompanied by UH one theme
and it speaks about the Holy Spirit there and it is really it is really
the idea of transcending what I see and go beyond the form and eventually just
dwell in in the hands of God. Because this is the first line in
our lesson for today. Perception is not an attribute of God, He's the
realm of knowledge. And we we did some different classes over the over the
weekend. And the funny thing is that every time when we when we look
at a class, look at the idea of gaining knowledge, we still have
to come back to the idea that there's only one source, and within this
source all knowledge has been given. The key factor within that is that we
need to transform our mind from the illusionary world world to the real world.
And for that He created the Holy Spirit as the mediator between perception and knowledge.
Without this link with God, perception would have replaced the knowledge forever in
your mind. And when I was reading that, I was wondering, well,
you know, what's the problem with that. So let's let's have a
quick look at that. Without this link with God, perception would have replaced
knowledge forever in your mind. Well, what if perception would be true,
then everything that that you look upon would have a cause and effect in a
very true sense in that whatever form it takes, that should be true.
Well, if you look at that, that brings up some problems. For
example, the idea that one thing can only affect one other thing, and
that nothing can really exist within an an idea of all of everything because perception
and it just depends on which side you're looking from. And I don't know
how does review, but there is something within me that I can clearly feel
all the time, that goes so far beyond the ideas that I see,
That goes so far beyond the idea of the tangible, the stuff that I
can touch. That where I didn't want to go with this the link,
it is this link. And later on he speaks about this voice that the
Holy Spirit uses is there to really transcend the picture into something that is like
three dimensional into a four dimensional picture, like there's there's another perception out there
that is not within this little idea of what I see is true. But
what I see. He talks about this veil that lifts up and you just
you know, the veil that is the block that we keep as world in
front of the face of Christ that we just look through that veil, it
lifts up, it disappears. Actually he's saying, it just completely disappears.
So this link God is my source. This link is the most important part
of this lesson right now, because it really says without this link with God,
perception would have replaced knowledge forever in your mind. With this link with
God, perception will become so ch changed and purified that it will lead to
knowledge. And here's the thing for knowledge there is no perception needed. It's
even stronger. Perception is blocking knowledge. With this link with God, perception
will become so changed and purified that it will lead to knowledge. That is
its function, as the Holy Spirit sees it. Therefore, that is its
function in truth. So I found this little piece in UH chapter twenty five,
Perception and Choice, and I I just gonna read those two paragraphs UH
of twent chapter twenty five, Perception and Choice. And the first paragraph starts
with to the extent to which you value guild, To that extent, will
you perceive a world in which attack is justified. To the extent to which
you recognize that guild is meaningless. To that extent, you will perceive attack
cannot be extend. You will perceive attack cannot be justified. This is in
a court with perceptions fundamental law. You see what you believe is there,
and you believe it's there because you want it there. You see what you
believe is there, and you believe it's there because you want it there.
Perception has no other law than this. The rest beer stems from this to
hold it up and offer its support. This is perception's form adapted to this
world of God's more basic law that love creates itself and nothing but itself.
God's laws do not obtain directly to a world's perception rules for such a world
could not have been created by the mind, to which perception has no meaning.
So that that's again the first line. Perception is not an attribute of
God. Yet are his laws reflected everywhere? Not that the world where this
reflection is is real at all only because his son believes it is. And
from his son's belief, he could not let himself be separated entirely. He
could not enter his son's insanity with him, but he could be sure his
sanity when they're with him, so he could not be lost forever in the
madness of his wish. Perception rest on choosing knowledge does not. So here
we see that the idea of of God cannot really enter into uh me,
into my world, because I am a full part of God and I cannot
drag like that. Theyreonna saying that today in the video he talks about the
body, and you know, he says, he says, like you can,
you cannot even think about God without some form of body. And and
that's that's our our ex actually our saving grace, because that's exactly where we
talked about, Like perception would have replaced knowledge forever in your mind. Everything
would have been reduced to some kind of cause and effect in this world,
while it is completely the opposite. The source of all of this is God,
and He is never not there. Although this, like he says,
this world is not real at all, but his mind is still reflected here,
complete and total. In God, you cannot see. Perception has no
function in God. This is the second paragraph of the lesson for today.
In God, you cannot see. Perception has no function in God and does
not exist in salvation, which is the undoing of what never was. Perception
has a mighty purpose made by the Son of God for an unholy purpose.
It must become the means for the restoration of His holiness to his awareness.
So now instead of just disregarding it completely, we're gonna transform it and we're
gonna use it within this world of evolusions made by the Son of God for
an unholy purpose, the idea of being seperate. It must become the means
for the restoration of His holiness to his awareness. Perception has no meaning,
yet does the Holy Spirit give it or give it a meaning very close to
God's. Healed perception becomes the means by which the son of God forgives his
brother and thus forgives himself. Okay, so here he brings, he brings
the three together. Perception, forgiveness, and salvation are are are put in
this in this I in this idea for today because it is true, this
forgiveness that I can see God like. I can see like God like.
The forgiveness is I'm sorry, I can know as God. That's the truth.
Ill perception becomes the means by which the son of God forgives his brother
and thus forgives himself. You cannot see apart from God, because you cannot
be apart from God. Whatever you do, you do in him. Because
whatever you think, you think with his mind a vision is real, and
it is real to the extent to which it shares the Holy Spirit's purpose.
Then you cannot see a part from God. Yeah, so God is not
like a little part of something in my life, but I'm a complete part
of his. And that shift makes it makes it so much easier to just
accept whatever seemingly goes on. At least in my mind, I feel this
grace and we talked about it yesterday too. I feel this grace that you
know. I dwell in God. There's nothing that can really make me fearful.
So for today, we have three five minute practice periods, one as
early as early and one as late as possible in the day, and the
third may be undertaken at the most convenient and suitable time that circumstances and readiness
permit. At the beginning of those practice periods, repeat the idea for today
to yourself. Your eyes open. So God is my source. I cannot
see apart from him. God is my source. I cannot see apart from
him. Then glance around you for a short short time, applying the ideas
specifically to what you see. Four or five subjects for this phase of the
practice periods are sufficient. You might say, for example, God is my
source. I cannot see this desk apart from him. God is my source.
I cannot see this picture apart from him. God is my source.
I cannot see this phone apart from him. God is my source. I
cannot see that person apart from me and from him. Although this part of
the exercise period should be relatively short, be sure that you select the subjects
for this phase of practice indiscriminately without self directed inclusion or exclusion. For the
second and longer phase, close your eyes. Repeat today's idea again. God
is my source. I cannot see apart from Him. And then let whatever
relevant thoughts occur to you add to the idea in your own personal way,
thoughts such as I see through the eyes of forgiveness, I see the world
as blessed. The world can show me myself. I see my own thoughts
which are like God's. Any thought related more or less directly to the idea
is Today's idea is suitable. The thoughts need not bear any obvious relationship to
the idea, but they should not be in opposition to it. If you
find your mind wondering, if you begin to be aware of thoughts which are
clearly out of a court with today's idea, or if you seem to be
unable to think of any open your eyes. Repeat the first phase of the
exercise period, and then attempt the second phase again. Do not allow any
protected, protracted period to occur in which you become preoccupied with irrelevant thoughts.
Return to the first phase of the exercises often as necessary to prevent this.
God is my source. I cannot see a part from him. God is
my source. I can't see a part from him. And then, instead
of trying to get into some repetition, the idea is to just include all
the ideas that are part of this into the exercise. I am light.
I see only light. There is nothingness, nothing that my holiness cannot do.
I'm determined to see. God is my source. I cannot see apart
from him. And it is easy to get distracted by thoughts of complete,
unrelated ideas. But the idea today is to really go back and also feel
within you that the everlasting harms of God reach reaches everywhere, that His source
is within me. And maybe even more importantly, I do not wanna see
apart from him. I want to include Him in everywhere where I go,
and applying today's idea in the shorter practice periods form a faery. According to
the circumstances and situations in which you find yourself during the day. When you
are with someone else, for example, try to remember to tell him silently,
God is my source. I cannot see you apart from him randomly or
anybody you know. God is my source. I cannot see you apart from
him. This form is equally applicable to strangers as it is to those you
think are closer to you. In fact, try not to make distinctions of
this kind at all. Today's ideas should also be applied throughout the day to
various situations and events that may occur, particularly to those which seem to distress
you in any way. For this purpose, apply the idea in this form.
God is my source. I cannot see this apart from him. God
is my source. I cannot see this apart from him. If no particular
subject presents itself to your awareness at the time, merely repeat the idea in
its original form. God is my source. I cannot see apart from him.
Try to day not to allow any long periods of time to slip by
without remembering today's idea and thus remembering your function. God is my source I
cannot see apart from him. It's interesting how in the last line he he
invites us to remember my function, that my function is really nothing else than
remembering this. God is my source. I cannot see apart from him,
And to me, it really is an out an as much as an outward
idea that immediately comes back and becomes an inward idea. God is my source.
I cannot see apart from him. I could really it really f it
to me. It really is the the the idea that everything that I have
ideas about are completely gone and replaced. God is my source. I cannot
see apart from him. So let's take a few minutes to really let that
ponder in and to take a moment to include all the how does he call
that? Relevant thoughts to occur while we we keep this in our mind.
God is my source. I cannot see apart from him. God is with
I live and move in him. God is with me. He is my
source of life, the life within the air. I breathe, the food
by witch. I am susted water with which renews and cleanses me. He
is my home wherein I live and move. God is with me. I
live and move in here. He is the spirit which directs my action.
He offers me he thought a g guarantees my safety from open He he covers
me with kindness and with care, and holds in love the sun. He
shines the fall also shots in he posted listen who knows the true? Oh?
He speaks to day Father, we have no word except your name upon
our lips and in ourman has we come quietly into your present snaw and ask
you to rest with you and me. So God is with me. I
live and move in here. God is with me. He is my source
of love alive within leave I read. God is my home wherein I live
and HM, thank you Donah, Well. God is with me. God
is with me. M. God is my source. I cannot see apart
from him. God is my source. I cannot see a part from him.
God is my source. I cannot see apart from him. So related
to the Lesson of today, I found some pieces in the course that I
would like to share, And those are just little snippets of thoughts that came
up when I was reading the when I was reading the Lesson, And the
first one is from chapter six, The Message of the Crucifixion, Chapter six
The Message of the Crucifixion and an eighteen paragraph eighteen. The power of the
Sons of God is present all the time. The power of the Sons of
God is present all the time. Because they were created as creators. Their
influence on each other is without limit and must be used for their joint salvation.
Each one must learn to teach that all forms of rejection are meaningless.
The separation is the notion of rejection as long as you teach. As long
as you teach this, you will believe it. This is not as God
thinks, and you must think as he thinks if you are to know him
again. Remember that the Holy Spirit is the communication link between God the Father
and his separate sons. If you will listen to his voice, you will
know that you cannot either hurt or be heard, and at many need your
blessing to help them hear this for themselves. When you perceive only this need
in them, and do not respond to any other, you will you will
have learned of me and will be as eager to share your learning as I
am. So. Then the idea of perception in chapter one, at the
moment in Miracles, and then paragraph six, he says, you respond to
what you perceive, and as you perceive, so shall you behave. The
Golden rule asks you to do unto others as you would have them do unto
you. This means that the perception of both must be accurate. The golden
rule is the rule for appropriate behavior. You cannot behave appropriately unless you perceive
correctly since you and your neighbor are equal members of one family. As you
perceive both, so will you do to both. You should look out from
the p from the perception of your own holiness to the holiness of others.
Gods my source. I cannot see your bard from him, And every lesson
uh has a brother lesson, And the brother lesson of Lesson forty three is
less than two hundred sixty five. Creation's gentleness is all I see. I
have indeed misunderstood the world because I laid my sins on it and saw them
looking back at me. How fiercely they seemed, And how deceived was I
to think that what I feared was in the world instead of in my mind
alone. To day I see the world in the celestial gentleness with which Creation
shines. There is no fear in it, that no appearance of my sins
obscure the light of Heaven shining on the world. What is reflection there?
What is reflected there is in God's mind? The images I see reflect my
thoughts. Yet is my mind at one with God's? And so I can
perceive Creation's gentleness in quiet? Would I look upon the world which but reflect
your thoughts and mine as well. Let remember that they are the same,
and I will see Creation's gentleness. I, who am the host to God,
am worthy of him. He who established his dwelling place in me,
created it as he would have it be. It is not needful that I
make it ready for him. It's not in then. It's not needful that
I need it, that I make it ready for him, but only that
I do not interfere with His plan. To restore to me my awareness of
my readiness, which is eternal. I need nothing to have plan, but
to receive it. I must be willing not to substitute my own in place
of it. Fear does not exist. Identify with love and you are safe.
Identify with love and you're a home. Identify with love and find yourself.
Amen. God is my source. I cannot see apart from Him.
So we have a little bit of time left. I would like to play
one more song and invite you to just keep this in mind all through the
day. God is my source. I can not see you apart from Him.
Whenever you meet someone, and to really let the thoughts of wholeness and
creation come to you in the moments of longer practice periods where we can just
add to this, to this idea, do pla for I will come no
I am done, no w this see with this se I will come,
no come money to go unto my jam scall my gr voice in s you

flowered that night, you know, closes up and then in the morning in
the light it opens up like it's really it's constantly this wave at least this
is how I experiences this wave of going inward and then expands outward, and
then it goes back inward and it expands outward like it's this wave. God
is my source. I cannot see you apart from Him. Yeah, So
thank you so much for joining and I hope to see you all soon again.
I have a wonderful rest of your day. You have been listening to
voice from Heaven live in the Miracle Healing Center. Remember that God's voice speaks
to you all through the day. That God goes with you wherever you go,
and that God is the mind with which you think. God bless us everyone,
