Hello, good morning, and welcome to today's workbook, lesson in the in
the Course of Miracles. And wow, what a lesson it is. It's
it's very much an integral part of all the lessons we've been doing in this
series, particularly of yesterday's lesson and tomorrow's lesson. So and it's an extraordinary
lesson because we are dealing with a particular idea. And there is a word
that is used repeatedly in the titles of these lessons, and of course that
word is truth. Now we already know that in this awakening, in this
occurrence within our mind where we awaken to the light that we truly are,
that it is tantamount to knowing the truth, which sets us free. And
only the truth will set you free, because the truth is God, the
truth is life, the truth is what is so. And you shall know
the truth, and the truth shall set you free or will make you free,
whatever, depending on what translation that you're using. And so yesterday we
decided to be still and listen to the truth. And we discovered in listening
that when we speak about listening, we're not really talking about sounds, peripheral
sounds that we pick up with the body's ears, although that's not excluded.
We are really waiting, if you like. And again I use the word
very cautiously, but we are expecting, we are anticipating and experience. And
then way I say I use the word waiting cautiously is that waiting appears to
be something that happens in time. So it would seem that we are waiting
for something that hasn't happened yet but will happen. And that's really not what
we're speaking about here. The very act of listening, of truly listening,
which is a stepping back, a surrendering of the conceptual fake identity. The
very act of surrender is listening. And we will find we'll discover this tomorrow,
to give and to receive our one in truth. And we asked yesterday
what does it mean to give and receive? And we discovered that really giving
and receiving directs to a mindful action. And you can tell I'm really struggling
with words here because we are speaking of an experience, and it's an experience
that's revelatory, and what is revealed is ourself. What is revealed is the
light that we are, and there's no separation between us and that, and
that's why it's kind of a little crazy to talk about it. The great
thing about these lessons, though, is that we are encouraged to actually plunge
headlong into the experience and we we, we know, we discover, we
are revealed, and then explanations and words really are totally unnecessary because here you
are. Here, we are as one self, We are oneself united with
our creator, and the purpose of this exercise is really to be the oneself,
to know the oneself. Remember, know thyself. That is the admonition
of the teacher to the student that is inscribed on the gate of the oracle.
You cannot really enter into the uh oracle without knowing thyself because the oracle
is you. Doesn't really have to do with prognostication, because there is no
time anyway. Before we go rambling off, let's take a moment and enjoy
the moment. Enjoy this moment that we ascend to the Father by giving him
ascendence in our mind. And the song I'm going to play is a straight
of a path. Here we go, no sad, good bad Now you
men, you allays can live so her now don't wait, straight the bath
and narrow the game, straight the bath, and narrow the game. Don't

so her No, don't wait straight the bath and narrow the game. Straight
the bath and narrow the game. No more go bad for now, you
remainer. You've all always midz so now don't wait straight the path and narrow

No mo sac for a youn event. You all always mental live solver.
Don't wait straight the bath and narrow log straight the bath and narrow the

bath and na the straight bath's narrow, the straight bat the most the street
st straightst st st strain stret st straight, stem strong, well straight the
path indeed straight of a path. It's absolutely direct. Truth is true and
nothing else is true, and truth will correct all errors in my mind because
it is true and nothing else is true. That's just the fact of the
matter. There is a tendency to think of illusions and misperception and errors as
also true. That's not the case. Nothing unreal exists. And it's all
very well for me to say that we have mastered those words, we recite
them, But it's quite another thing to know that within yourself and to know
that consistently and not be fooled by the mirages and the hallucinations and the idea
of a separate self. And so that's the purpose of this, of this
workbook lesson and all the workbook lessons that we're doing, to immerge from this
slumber, to awaken from this dream. Truth will correct all errors in my
mind. That's less than one oh seven of the workbook of a Course in
Miracles. Welcome, here we go. What can correct illusions but the truth?
And what are errors but illusions that remain unrecognized for what they are.
Where truth has entered, errors disappear, they merely vanish, leaving not a
trace by which to be remembered. They are gone because without belief, they
have no life. Without belief, they have no life. So yesterday,
when we did the lesson, let me be still and listen to the truth
that literally, and I mean that continues now. I mean, the lessons
don't stop just simply because you know something has happened on the calendar or the
sun has risen, because it's an action of your mind. It's a mindful
action. So let me be still and listen to the truth. Quite literally,
as you discovered, is about holding on to nothing. It's letting go
all ideas you came with, all the beliefs that you're hanging on to,
all the nonsense that you thought. Now we've been doing this from day one.
But it is that action of being still and listening to the truth because
in that stillness, in that listening and that letting go of the beliefs and
the stuff that you hold onto, they are gone. You hold them by
belief, And this is what we're seeing right now. They are gone because
without belief, they have no life. Without belief, your idea of a
separate self is not anything. Where is the darkness when the light has come,
And so they disappear to nothing ness, returning whence they came, which
is nowhere, because they have no source. From dust to dust, they
come and go for only truth remains. And so you begin to see this
now within your own mind, you begin to You begin to experience yourself in
a different way, in a different light. You begin to experience the freedom
that the truth engenders by being what it is. The truth does make you
free because freedom is what you are, and truth is what freedom is.
You are the holy son of God himself. You are created in freedom because
there isn't anything that can buy mind you. There isn't anything that's not true.
There isn't anything that's not truth. Nothing unreal exists. Wow, that's
real. And so you begin to see that without your holding on you're completely
free. You've been binding yourself by your own ideas. No more. Huh.
Truth will correct all errors in your mind. It has already done so,
because the errors don't exist in truth. So this is a new revelation.
It's a new realization, it's a new way of being. It's a
new experience of yourself unbound. Wow, unchained melody. I wish I could
play that, but I can't because it's protected by copyright. Okay, let's
continue. Can you imagine this isn't hypothetical, guys, this is now.
This is directing to an experience, to an action of your mind. Now,
can you imagine? Yes, you can Can you imagine what a state
of mind without illusions is? How would it feel? Here we go,
Try to remember when there was a time, perhaps a minute, maybe even
less, when nothing came to interrupt your peace, when you were certain you
were loved and safe. Then try to picture what it would be like to
have that moment be extended to the end of time and to eternity. Then
let the sense of quiet that you felt be multiplied one hundred times and then
be multiplied another hundred more. Wow, Let's take a moment, shall we,
and let the sense of quiet that we felt when we were completely at
peace. We'll let that sense of quiet be multiplied a hundred times and then
a hundred times more right here, right now, within our mind. So
you sho as so your busy, Please don't show more sweep reading, do
deliver child? Let's take your chainty as is sure so new, So the
show us on moretheran as so soy you men show us on som you was
a lady. So do the s s speak futy you know chaty as has
you s so so imas more the suc well, And now you have a
hint, not more than just the faintest intimation of the state your mind will
rest in when the truth has come. Without illusions, there could be no
fear, no doubt, and no attack. When truth has come, all
pain is over, for there is no room for transitory thoughts and dead ideas
to linger in your mind. Truth occupies your mind completely, liberating you from
all beliefs in the ephemeral. They have no place because the truth has come,
and they are nowhere. They cannot be found, for truth is everywhere
forever now. When truth has come, it does not stay a while to
disappear or change to something else. It does not shift and alter in its
form, nor come and go, and go and come again. It stays
exactly as it always was, to be depended on in every need, and
trusted with a perfect trust. In all the seeming difficulties and the doubts that
the appearances the world presents in gender, they will merely blow away when truth
corrects the errors in your mind. Wow. When truth has come, it
harbors on its wings the gift of perfect constancy and love, which does not
falter in the face of pain, but looks beyond it steadily and sure.
Yes, there is a certainty that you evolve. There is a confidence that
just is always there because you know that God is here and now, and
that's a confidence that cannot be shaken. Doesn't matter what the appearances are.
It doesn't matter what seems to be going on, because you are literally experiencing
yourself on a whole other level in a completely different realm. Has nothing to
do with the fearful image that you made up. When truth has come,
it harbors in its wings the gift of perfect constancy and love, which does
not falter in the face of pain, but looks beyond it steadily and sure.
Here is the gift of healing. For the truth needs no defense,
and therefore no attack is possible. Illusions can be brought to truth to be
corrected, but the truth stands far beyond illusions and cannot be brought to them
to turn them into truth. Truth does not come and go, nor shift
nor change in this appearance now and then. Sorry, it does not have
read that completely wrong, excuse me. Truth does not come and go,
nor shift nor change in this appearance now and then, now and then in
that. In this appearance now and then in that evading capture and escaping grasp,
it does not hide what needs to be hidden is not true. What
needs to be defended is not true. That's how simple this is. It
stands in open light, in obvious accessibility, always in, always everywhere.
Now wow, it is impossible that anyone could seek it truly and would not
succeed. It's impossible to seek it truly and not succeed, because the seeking
of it is the finding of it. Today belongs to truth. Give truth
it's due, and it will give you yours. You were not meant to
suffer and to die. Your father wills these dreams be gone, And you
know what what your father's will, what your father wills is done. God's
will is done. Let truth, your father wills, these dreams be gone,
Let truth correct them all. Wow wow. We do not ask for
what we do not have. We merely ask for what belongs to us,
that we may recognize it as our own. You are what you have,
You have what you are. You cannot have what is not yours. You
cannot be what you are not. Today we practice on the happy note of
certainty that has been born of truth. The shaky and unsteady footsteps of illusion
are not our approach. Today. We are as certain of success as we
are sure we live and hope and breathe and think. We are positive of
success because it's already done. Wow, we do not doubt. We walk
with truth to day and count on it to enter into all the exercises that
we do this day. Oh my, Okay, here we go. Begin
by asking him who goes with you, upon this, undertaking that he be
in your awareness as you go with him. You are not made of flesh
and blood and bone, but were created by the self same thought which gave
the gift of life to him as well. He is your brother and so
like to you. Your father knows that you are both the same. It
is yourself capital s you ask to go with you, And how could he
be absent where you are? Wow? Truth will correct all errors in your
mind which tell you you could be apart from him. You speak to him
to day and make your pledge to let his function be fulfilled through you.
To share his function is to share his joy. His confidence is with you.
As you say, truth will correct all errors in my mind, and
I will rest in him who is myself. Then let him lead you gently
to the truth, which will envelop you and give you peace so deep and
tranquil that you will return to the familiar world reluctantly. Wow. And yet
will you be glad to look again upon this world, For you will bring
with you the promise of the changes which the truth that goes with you will
carry to the world. They will increase with every gift you give of five
small minutes, and the errors that surround the world will be corrected as you
let them be corrected in your mind. So let's take a moment. Now,
let's take five minutes. Truth will correct all errors in my mind,
and I will rest in him who is myself. We're going to let him
lead you gently to the truth, which will envelop you and give you peace
so deep and tranquil, that you will return to the familiar world reluctantly.
Truth will correct all errors in my mind, and I will rest in Him
who is myself, and believe the b And yet you will be glad to
look again upon this world, for you will bring with you the promise of
the changes which the truth that goes with you will carry to the world.
They will increase with every gift you give of five small minutes, and the
errors that surround the world will be corrected as you let them be corrected.
In your mind. Do not forget your function for today. Each time you
tell yourself with confidence and truth will correct all errors in my mind. You
speak for all the world and him who would release the world as he would
set you free. Truth will correct all errors in my mind, and I
will rest in Him who is myself. Wow, that's our lesson for today,
And what an extraordinary lesson. This is really a day of liberation,
a day of joy and light and love. What an incredible way to spend
this day in remembrance of the truth, in remembrance of God, remembrance of
your true self. Thank you so much for joining with me in this moment.
This is just an incredible privilege, and I am so happy and so
grateful to have the opportunity to do this right here and right now. Stick
around. It's Tuesday today, go online and watch the video of the day
of the Master Teacher. We are still in the Manual for Teachers series,
the first Manual for Teachers series, and today we have the exquisite video how
is healing accomplished? And you know how healing is accomplished exactly by you doing
this lesson today in the way it is prescribed. That is how healing is
accomplished because it is the relinquishment of all ideas of sickness or error or illusion
or anything like that. It is literally an allowance for the truth to correct
all errors in your mind. So watch the Master Teacher. You can find
him on the Master Teacher dot TV, on acimi dot com, or any
of the other websites that we have in Deavor, Academy dot com, Miracles
Healingcenter dot com. All of those will direct you to how healing is accomplished,
which is our video today. So do stay with us. We are
forever inseparable anyway, there is only one of us. So let's stay together.
Let's really stay together in this light, in this love, in this
remembrance of who we truly are. I love you always, and I will
see you everywhere as we go our way, rejoicing in the certainty of truth,
of love of God, in his endless love. I love you and
I will see you everywhere. And thank you Divine Man Dechtimodes Himmels, thank
