1
00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:06.799
Good morning. I'm really glad that
you're here with me today, and I'm

2
00:00:06.919 --> 00:00:11.480
happy, uh that you're listening if
in if you're tuned in, we have

3
00:00:11.800 --> 00:00:17.920
UH. Of course, today is
our final lesson in this sequence before we

4
00:00:18.039 --> 00:00:23.000
enter into the review. And UH, obviously the lesson for today, let

5
00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:30.879
me recognize my problems have been solved. Uh is uh a carry on of

6
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:37.920
yesterday's lesson, which giv did a
fantastic job with yesterday's lesson. So but

7
00:00:38.039 --> 00:00:44.200
you'll notice and uh, and I'm
saying this, UH, particularly for those

8
00:00:44.240 --> 00:00:49.240
who perhaps are new to the practice
of the work book of a course in

9
00:00:49.359 --> 00:00:55.600
miracles, you'll notice that the lessons
do give us an instruction, They give

10
00:00:55.679 --> 00:01:00.920
us a rationale and a reasonability to
what we are performing in our people,

11
00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:07.640
performing in our minds. Yet we
also see, or at least I hope

12
00:01:07.680 --> 00:01:15.280
you're beginning to see, that the
ideas, while they are useful, it

13
00:01:15.359 --> 00:01:22.480
is really the practice and the application
of them that will demonstrate to you that

14
00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:29.120
you can demonstrate to yourself the reality
or the truth that is all around you,

15
00:01:29.480 --> 00:01:34.040
that is in you, that is
everything and everywhere. Hello and anyway,

16
00:01:34.159 --> 00:01:40.680
So with that, I just I
really want to just really express my

17
00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:47.400
love because you know, no matter
what seems to have gone before, no

18
00:01:47.400 --> 00:01:53.519
matter you know what your experiences have
been, what you consider positive or negative,

19
00:01:53.200 --> 00:01:59.879
it's always a new vista that opens
up that you know. It is

20
00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:06.719
never a point in this undertaking where
we settle in an idea that well,

21
00:02:06.799 --> 00:02:09.599
now this is it, and I
found peace and I found happiness. Yes,

22
00:02:10.400 --> 00:02:15.319
you have found peace and you have
found happiness. But that is ever

23
00:02:15.439 --> 00:02:22.319
increasing and ever expanding, and so
we don't settle on a definition of what

24
00:02:22.360 --> 00:02:29.719
that is, but the realization that
we come to through our own application of

25
00:02:29.759 --> 00:02:35.240
the exercises, through our own meditations, that you know, this is our

26
00:02:35.360 --> 00:02:42.159
reality and it is only this.
So before I get into today's lesson,

27
00:02:44.280 --> 00:02:50.120
I wanted to share something that I
discovered yesterday. I did not know that

28
00:02:51.000 --> 00:02:55.919
meditation the root or the connection of
meditation, and I think it's in the

29
00:02:57.039 --> 00:03:02.120
Latin or whatever actually has root in
medicine. I did not know that.

30
00:03:02.840 --> 00:03:10.560
But because you can really see that
meditation or quieting the mind or quieting all

31
00:03:10.639 --> 00:03:17.000
of the assertions of what you are
and what your problems are, and what

32
00:03:17.039 --> 00:03:23.159
this is, and what that is
is literally healing, and it heals in

33
00:03:23.319 --> 00:03:28.520
every aspect. So I just found
that I didn't know it. I was

34
00:03:28.560 --> 00:03:30.560
fascinated by that idea, So anyway, I just wanted to share that.

35
00:03:31.400 --> 00:03:36.159
Let's just play one song before we
get into the lesson for today, and

36
00:03:36.199 --> 00:04:01.879
it's come to peace. Come to
the table, m come to the feat,

37
00:04:04.680 --> 00:04:17.120
Come be the gear of the bread. Come as a lover, Come

38
00:04:17.240 --> 00:04:29.680
as a friend. Come and join
the joy that will not. As you

39
00:04:30.079 --> 00:04:45.759
soul, you shall me. If
it's love you would give, If it's

40
00:04:45.920 --> 00:04:59.879
love for which you live, love
you must give, Come join them,

41
00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:10.240
give it me. Come as you
walk, Come for a moment, Come

42
00:05:10.439 --> 00:05:24.920
to day. Some come by fire, some buy flve, but to love

43
00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:51.959
it's all say. Come be free
commands, Come with me to the past,

44
00:05:53.120 --> 00:06:51.800
to green a quiet streams with a
hood. Super thank you so much.

45
00:06:53.639 --> 00:07:00.000
So let us review a little bit. Yesterday let me recognize the problem

46
00:06:59.800 --> 00:07:04.399
so it can be solved, And
today's lesson is let me recognize my problems

47
00:07:05.000 --> 00:07:11.560
have been solved. So we went
from singular let me recognize my problem to

48
00:07:11.639 --> 00:07:15.240
let me recognize my problems have been
solved. And he deals with this,

49
00:07:15.399 --> 00:07:23.519
of course in yesterday's lesson, And
I just like to reread this idea The

50
00:07:23.560 --> 00:07:30.879
temptation to regard problems as many is
to is the temptation to keep the problem

51
00:07:31.040 --> 00:07:38.759
of separation unsolved. The world seems
to present you with a vast number of

52
00:07:38.879 --> 00:07:46.920
problems, each requiring a different answer. This perception places you in a position

53
00:07:46.439 --> 00:07:54.839
in which your problem solving must be
inadequate and failure is inevitable. Okay,

54
00:07:55.000 --> 00:07:59.480
we can all admit to this by
our own personal experience. Okay, no

55
00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:05.759
one can solve all the problems the
world appears to hold. They seem to

56
00:08:05.759 --> 00:08:11.519
be on so many levels, in
such varying forms, with such very varied

57
00:08:11.600 --> 00:08:20.240
content that they confront you with an
impossible situation. Dismay and depression are inevitable

58
00:08:20.279 --> 00:08:26.319
as you regard them. Some spring
up unexpectedly just as you think you have

59
00:08:26.439 --> 00:08:33.240
resolved the previous ones. Others remain
unsolved under a cloud of denial, and

60
00:08:33.759 --> 00:08:41.200
rise to haunt you from time to
time, only to be hidden again but

61
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:46.919
still unsolved. Okay, we can
all admit to this. And finally,

62
00:08:46.960 --> 00:08:50.559
we always look I mean, even
in the idea of the world's problems,

63
00:08:50.559 --> 00:08:54.679
we look to our political system or
are this or are that? To solve

64
00:08:54.720 --> 00:09:00.759
all these problems, and then complain
about how all of that is because somewhere

65
00:09:01.399 --> 00:09:05.399
and it doesn't take a lot of
thought to recognize that this is indeed the

66
00:09:05.440 --> 00:09:11.879
case. Everyone who walks this world
deals with this idea. It's part of

67
00:09:11.919 --> 00:09:20.720
it. Okay, But here is
our answer. All this complexity is but

68
00:09:20.919 --> 00:09:28.960
a desperate attempt not to recognize the
problem and therefore not to let it be

69
00:09:30.039 --> 00:09:37.759
resolved. If you could recognize that
your only problem is separation, no matter

70
00:09:37.840 --> 00:09:43.639
what form it takes, you could
accept the answer because you would see its

71
00:09:43.759 --> 00:09:52.279
relevance. Perceiving the underlying constancy and
all the problems that seem to confront you,

72
00:09:52.279 --> 00:09:56.559
you would understand that you have the
means to solve them all and would

73
00:09:56.720 --> 00:10:05.440
use the means because you recognize the
problem. So let's go to today's lesson.

74
00:10:07.279 --> 00:10:13.080
Let me recognize my problems have been
solved. Okay, so we recognized

75
00:10:13.600 --> 00:10:22.879
the problem. Now we're recognized that
they have been all solved. If you

76
00:10:22.919 --> 00:10:30.279
are willing to recognize your problems,
you will recognize that you have no problem.

77
00:10:31.720 --> 00:10:39.279
Your one central problem has been answered, and you have no others.

78
00:10:41.279 --> 00:10:50.879
This is an invaluable idea because it
already has been solved, is already occurred,

79
00:10:50.799 --> 00:10:58.639
and the distance that you place between
yourself and the answer that has already

80
00:10:58.679 --> 00:11:05.440
occurred is what we call time.
Yeah, but the value of that is

81
00:11:05.440 --> 00:11:13.039
is if you can stop and just
drop, if I can say it that

82
00:11:13.120 --> 00:11:22.279
way, stop and allow for the
fact that it has already occurred. And

83
00:11:22.480 --> 00:11:26.919
since it has already occurred, it's
within your you can recognize it. It's

84
00:11:26.960 --> 00:11:35.440
within your ability to recognize it if
you're willing to let it be so all

85
00:11:35.519 --> 00:11:43.279
right, Therefore you must be at
peace. This is just another way of

86
00:11:43.360 --> 00:11:48.600
saying the same lesson that we had
five days ago. The light has come.

87
00:11:50.480 --> 00:11:56.240
I have forgiven the world. It's
already happened. The light has come.

88
00:11:56.639 --> 00:12:03.759
I have forgiven the world. My
problem was my own grievance. Salvation

89
00:12:03.919 --> 00:12:11.759
must depends on recognizing this one problem
and understanding that it has been solved.

90
00:12:11.840 --> 00:12:20.720
One problem, one solution. Salvation
is accomplished. Freedom from conflict has been

91
00:12:20.759 --> 00:12:28.799
given. You accept that fact,
and you are ready to take your rightfle

92
00:12:28.919 --> 00:12:39.120
place in God's plan for salvation.
Accept accept as an action of the mind.

93
00:12:39.759 --> 00:12:45.200
It is a willingness, it's a
granting, allowing taking for yourself.

94
00:12:45.360 --> 00:12:52.399
I know I'm not trying to belabor
this, but this whole idea of just

95
00:12:54.039 --> 00:13:05.080
letting go, just letting go and
allowing what has already occurred be. So

96
00:13:07.080 --> 00:13:15.159
is all that's being asked. Your
only problem has been solved. Your only

97
00:13:15.279 --> 00:13:24.759
problem has been solved. Repeat this
over and over to yourself today with gratitude

98
00:13:24.000 --> 00:13:31.600
and conviction. My only problem has
been solved. Wow, you see how

99
00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:37.679
you can just relax into that My
only problem has been solved. Okay,

100
00:13:39.480 --> 00:13:48.279
but that's an experience right now.
Yeah, you have recognized your only problem,

101
00:13:48.000 --> 00:13:54.879
opening the way for the Holy Spirit
to give you God's answer. You

102
00:13:56.200 --> 00:14:03.559
have laid deception aside and seen the
light of truth. My only problem has

103
00:14:03.639 --> 00:14:13.759
been solved. You have accepted salvation
for yourself by bringing the problem to the

104
00:14:13.919 --> 00:14:20.159
answer. My only problem has been
solved. You can recognize the answer.

105
00:14:20.200 --> 00:14:28.519
Because the problem has been identified.
You are entitled to peace today. A

106
00:14:28.639 --> 00:14:37.320
problem that has been resolved cannot trouble
you. Only be certain you do not

107
00:14:37.679 --> 00:14:45.720
forget that all problems are the same. Their many forms will not deceive you.

108
00:14:46.440 --> 00:14:54.200
While you remember this one problem,
one solution, accept the piece this

109
00:14:54.559 --> 00:15:05.120
simple statement brings in our longer practice
periods. Today we will claim the peace

110
00:15:05.399 --> 00:15:09.039
that must be ours when the problem
and the answer have been brought together.

111
00:15:11.360 --> 00:15:20.919
The problem must be gone because God's
answer cannot fail. Having recognized one,

112
00:15:22.039 --> 00:15:26.440
you have recognized the other, so
that you're depending on his answer. You're

113
00:15:26.480 --> 00:15:37.039
depending on God and the fact that
he cannot fail. Simple, The solution

114
00:15:37.720 --> 00:15:43.679
is inherent in the problem. You
are answered, and have accepted the answer.

115
00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:52.320
You are saved. Wow. Now, let the peace that your acceptance

116
00:15:52.399 --> 00:16:03.559
brings be given you. Close your
eyes and receive your reward. Recognize that

117
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:12.720
your problems have been solved. Recognize
that you are out of conflict, free

118
00:16:14.200 --> 00:16:22.159
and at peace. Above all,
remember that you have one problem, and

119
00:16:22.279 --> 00:16:30.279
that problem has one solution. It
is in this that the simplicity of salvation

120
00:16:30.480 --> 00:16:38.080
lies. It is because of this
that it is guaranteed to work. All

121
00:16:38.159 --> 00:16:41.440
right, So we're just going to
take the time right now, and we're

122
00:16:41.480 --> 00:16:49.639
going to allow ourselves to accept the
answer, to see that it has already

123
00:16:49.679 --> 00:16:56.879
been given to Let the peace wash
over you, and we're going to just

124
00:16:56.000 --> 00:17:07.279
play some music and let that be
Recognize your problems have been solved, close

125
00:17:07.400 --> 00:21:00.279
your eyes and receive your reward.
Boo bac, don't look like it.

126
00:25:53.000 --> 00:30:36.359
La Okay, I'm gonna turn it
down from there. And if we're going

127
00:30:36.400 --> 00:30:47.279
to We're just going to allow ourselves
for a moment to see why this is

128
00:30:47.359 --> 00:30:53.160
actually true, that your problems have
been solved. What is lesson number seven?

129
00:30:53.279 --> 00:30:59.200
Right? I see only the past. It's all memory, It's all

130
00:30:59.319 --> 00:31:03.240
memory. The problem has already been
solved. That is as much a part

131
00:31:03.279 --> 00:31:10.519
of your memory as the scenario that
you play out in front and that in

132
00:31:10.559 --> 00:31:15.359
front of you, And not only
that, you also recognize that you know

133
00:31:15.519 --> 00:31:22.039
memories can come and memories can go, just like that in the all you're

134
00:31:22.079 --> 00:31:26.640
always seeing and I'm not talking a
memory about about something that the whole thing

135
00:31:26.759 --> 00:31:33.000
is a memory and there is actually
no sequential order in that time is not

136
00:31:33.200 --> 00:31:41.880
sequential, and yet it is already
over so along that context and the idea

137
00:31:41.000 --> 00:31:48.000
that your problems have already been solved, and it's just a matter of accepting

138
00:31:48.519 --> 00:31:56.640
what is true here and now let
us turn to chapter twenty eight, and

139
00:31:56.680 --> 00:32:05.599
this is the present memory and doing
a fear from chapter twenty eight present memory.

140
00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:14.799
The miracle does nothing. Oh,
Chapter twenty eight, first one,

141
00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:19.480
and I just want to say thank
you. I want to thank our translators

142
00:32:19.960 --> 00:32:25.480
for bringing this to all of our
Spanish speaking brothers. Thank you guys.

143
00:32:28.359 --> 00:32:35.440
Okay, the miracle does nothing.
All it does is to undo, and

144
00:32:35.480 --> 00:32:40.119
thus it cancels out the interference to
what has been done. It does not

145
00:32:40.319 --> 00:32:46.839
add, but merely takes away.
And what it takes away is long since

146
00:32:47.000 --> 00:33:00.880
gone, but being kept in memory
appears to have immediate effects. This world

147
00:33:00.680 --> 00:33:07.160
was over long ago. The thoughts
that made it are no longer in the

148
00:33:07.200 --> 00:33:14.680
mind that thought of them and loved
them for a little while. The miracle

149
00:33:14.759 --> 00:33:22.599
but shows the past is gone,
and what is truly gone has no effects.

150
00:33:22.720 --> 00:33:30.039
Remembering a cause can but produce illusions
of its presence, not as effects.

151
00:33:31.759 --> 00:33:37.400
Wow, see the key is right
here. All my problems have been

152
00:33:37.440 --> 00:33:44.640
solved, yet it is still incumbent
upon me. And I say this for

153
00:33:44.799 --> 00:33:49.359
myself. Is always a quick forgetting. It's always a so it's wanting to

154
00:33:49.359 --> 00:33:52.640
pick up again. We're always picking
up the drink of solving our problems.

155
00:33:52.839 --> 00:33:58.039
We're always picking up the idea that
we have a problem. We're picking up

156
00:33:58.799 --> 00:34:07.759
an identity separate from everything. Okay, so all effects of guilt are here

157
00:34:07.839 --> 00:34:15.280
no more. For guilt is over
in its passing, when its consequences left

158
00:34:15.320 --> 00:34:20.360
without a cause, why would you
cling to it? In memory if you

159
00:34:20.400 --> 00:34:23.719
do not, if you did not
desire its effects, I have to say

160
00:34:23.719 --> 00:34:28.480
what comes to mind with this?
And I'm just gonna uh tell a little

161
00:34:28.559 --> 00:34:32.559
joke. I'm sure most of you
have heard this one before. But the

162
00:34:32.599 --> 00:34:37.239
little joke goes like this, and
it really does, uh demonstrate to me

163
00:34:37.360 --> 00:34:43.000
what I'm always doing when I want
to hold on. So there was a

164
00:34:43.119 --> 00:34:50.079
nun who was walking along in the
field and she tripped in a hole and

165
00:34:50.159 --> 00:34:55.719
she said, damn shit. I
said damn hell, I said shit.

166
00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:07.400
Need I say more? This is
this is my condition. No guilt is

167
00:35:07.480 --> 00:35:14.400
here no more. Alright, thanks
for indulging me in that one. Now

168
00:35:14.440 --> 00:35:21.440
I just have to find my place
again. I don't know how I lost

169
00:35:21.480 --> 00:35:23.639
it, but just give me a
minute here. Oh yeah, I'll just

170
00:35:23.679 --> 00:35:30.119
read it from my screen, all
right. So all the effects of guilt

171
00:35:30.199 --> 00:35:36.320
are here no more. For guilt
is over and in its passing, when

172
00:35:36.400 --> 00:35:40.920
it's consequences left without a cause.
Why would you cling to it in memory

173
00:35:40.960 --> 00:35:51.360
if you did not desire its effects. Remembering is as selective as perception being

174
00:35:51.559 --> 00:35:58.000
its passed tense. I just want
to highlight one thing from this, and

175
00:35:58.039 --> 00:36:00.199
that was thus the question, why
would you cling to it in memory if

176
00:36:00.239 --> 00:36:07.280
you did not desire its effects.
And see the idea of clinging and desiring

177
00:36:07.320 --> 00:36:13.840
are exactly the same. And so
this is an admission that you can actually

178
00:36:13.920 --> 00:36:17.599
make that if you're clinging to what
it is and how it is and whatever,

179
00:36:17.920 --> 00:36:22.639
it's because you desire the effects,
you can set No, I didn't.

180
00:36:22.880 --> 00:36:25.559
I don't desire to be sick.
Well, yes, you do,

181
00:36:25.679 --> 00:36:30.559
because it allows you to be you. It allows you to be separate and

182
00:36:30.800 --> 00:36:34.800
somewhere. You know. You don't
have to convince yourself of this, but

183
00:36:34.840 --> 00:36:43.280
if you can just entertain the possibility
that you really do believe that the solution

184
00:36:43.719 --> 00:36:50.119
is going to cost you your own
identity, it's going to cost you everything

185
00:36:50.159 --> 00:36:55.440
you believe it's going to cost you
how you want it to be. But

186
00:36:55.559 --> 00:37:00.559
okay, that's what you wanted,
that's how that's the price she want to

187
00:37:00.599 --> 00:37:06.079
pay, all right? Not in
truth, but at least you begin to

188
00:37:06.199 --> 00:37:13.639
see that you are you are receiving
the effects of your mind all the time.

189
00:37:14.639 --> 00:37:17.360
Okay, so let me just carry
on. Why would you cling to

190
00:37:17.400 --> 00:37:22.000
it in memory if you do not
desire its effects? Remembering is as selective

191
00:37:22.119 --> 00:37:30.920
as perception. Being its past tense
It is the perception of the past as

192
00:37:31.000 --> 00:37:38.119
if it were occurring now, and
still we're there to see. Memory,

193
00:37:38.760 --> 00:37:46.079
like perception, is a skill you
made up by you to take the place

194
00:37:46.119 --> 00:37:52.920
of what God gave in your creation. And like all things you made,

195
00:37:52.599 --> 00:37:58.920
it can be used to serve another
purpose and be the means for something else.

196
00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:02.440
It can be used to heal and
not to hurt, if you so

197
00:38:02.639 --> 00:38:14.440
wish it be nothing employed for healing
represents an effort to do anything at all.

198
00:38:15.239 --> 00:38:22.199
It is a recognition that you have
no needs, which means that something

199
00:38:22.519 --> 00:38:27.440
must be done. We got this
in an earlier chapter, in chapter eighteen,

200
00:38:28.159 --> 00:38:31.039
I need do nothing, But when
Helen was taken down the notes,

201
00:38:31.079 --> 00:38:35.800
this actually turned up in the special
messages? Am I correct about that it

202
00:38:35.800 --> 00:38:40.400
turned up in the special messages?
It is really this whole idea, you

203
00:38:40.440 --> 00:38:45.239
know, let me recognize my problems
have been solved? Is I really I

204
00:38:45.320 --> 00:38:52.320
need do nothing? And acceptance of
what has already been done? Now,

205
00:38:52.360 --> 00:39:00.320
these are the words. You hear
the words, and it is within your

206
00:39:00.679 --> 00:39:07.159
ability to accept and let it be
so. But it's always a matter of

207
00:39:07.199 --> 00:39:10.360
forgetting. Yeah, I forget.
I want to pull in my own memory.

208
00:39:10.440 --> 00:39:15.079
No, let it be so,
Let it be so? All right,

209
00:39:15.159 --> 00:39:19.960
So nothing employed for healing represents an
effort to do anything at all.

210
00:39:20.559 --> 00:39:24.320
It is a recognition that you have
no needs, which means that something must

211
00:39:24.360 --> 00:39:35.760
be done. It is an unselected
memory that is not used to interfere with

212
00:39:36.039 --> 00:39:43.719
truth. All things the Holy Spirit
can employ for healing has been given him

213
00:39:43.960 --> 00:39:50.440
without the content and the purpose for
which they have been made. They are

214
00:39:50.480 --> 00:39:58.440
but skills without an application. They
await their use. They have no dedication

215
00:39:59.119 --> 00:40:06.440
and no aim. I really,
personally, I really love this idea because

216
00:40:07.559 --> 00:40:10.360
as Jubi said in one of her
classes, and I I quote you because

217
00:40:10.360 --> 00:40:15.159
I it is true. Let yourself
be your own experiment, Let yourself be

218
00:40:15.280 --> 00:40:22.639
your own project. Okay, what
if I really walked around all day and

219
00:40:22.000 --> 00:40:28.920
allowed for an unselected memory allowing this
to just be my past. So I

220
00:40:29.000 --> 00:40:31.480
just kind of loosen it and allow
it to be my past. So I

221
00:40:31.559 --> 00:40:36.480
then I am I am in in
And let's say, an a a high

222
00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:45.239
anticipation for something else not of my
own making. But it is you know

223
00:40:45.960 --> 00:40:51.800
what is on? Uh, what
I'm being offered here is not only can

224
00:40:51.920 --> 00:40:55.559
I do it, but it is
something I want to do. And see

225
00:40:55.599 --> 00:41:01.920
the key is in your hand,
you know, I I I always look

226
00:41:01.960 --> 00:41:06.679
at all stuff people are doing from
all the time. There is nothing being

227
00:41:06.719 --> 00:41:13.159
said here that has not been said
forever, and in many ways and in

228
00:41:13.199 --> 00:41:20.239
different whatevers. And we forget that
this has already been said in an inn

229
00:41:20.360 --> 00:41:24.440
in a gazillion different ways. That's
okay. We say it over and over

230
00:41:24.519 --> 00:41:30.519
again because we need to hear it. We need to hear it in the

231
00:41:31.079 --> 00:41:37.159
e in the sense that we let
it be so for us in all of

232
00:41:37.239 --> 00:41:45.519
our doings and all of our undertakings, and and every moment that I am

233
00:41:45.719 --> 00:41:51.800
here, this can only be my
purpose. It is my only order of

234
00:41:51.920 --> 00:41:57.480
business. And so y you know, we've given all the tools, we're

235
00:41:57.519 --> 00:42:02.199
given the means, we're given everything. All we have to do is let

236
00:42:02.280 --> 00:42:08.280
it be, to use it,
to accept and let it be. Okay.

237
00:42:08.320 --> 00:42:10.599
I know I s keep coming back
on it, and I keep pounding

238
00:42:10.639 --> 00:42:19.280
it, but it's I do it
for myself, all right. The Holy

239
00:42:19.320 --> 00:42:25.199
Spirit can indeed make use of memory, for God himself is there. Yet

240
00:42:25.280 --> 00:42:30.800
this is not a memory of past
events, but only of a present state.

241
00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:37.760
You are so long accustomed to believing
that memory holds only what is past,

242
00:42:38.639 --> 00:42:43.719
that it is hard for you to
realize that it is a skill that

243
00:42:43.840 --> 00:42:52.000
can remember. Now. The limitations
on remembering the world imposes on it are

244
00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:59.280
as vast as those you let the
world impose on you. There is no

245
00:42:59.440 --> 00:43:05.599
link of memory to the past.
If you would have it there, then

246
00:43:05.679 --> 00:43:10.880
there it is. But only your
desire made the link, and only you

247
00:43:12.719 --> 00:43:17.320
have held it to a part of
time where guilt appears to linger still.

248
00:43:21.000 --> 00:43:25.920
The Holy Spirit use of memory is
quite apart from time. He does not

249
00:43:27.239 --> 00:43:31.239
seek to use it as a means
to keep the past, but rather as

250
00:43:31.280 --> 00:43:37.800
a way to let it go.
Memory holds the message it receives and does

251
00:43:37.920 --> 00:43:44.440
what it is given it to do. It does not write the message nor

252
00:43:44.679 --> 00:43:50.679
appoint what it is for. Like
to the body, it is purposeless within

253
00:43:50.760 --> 00:43:59.639
itself. And if it seems to
serve to cherish ancient hate and gives you

254
00:43:59.679 --> 00:44:07.360
picture of injustices and hurts that you
were saving, then this is what you

255
00:44:07.360 --> 00:44:16.199
asked its message be, and that
it is committed to its faults. The

256
00:44:16.320 --> 00:44:24.280
history of the body's past is hidden
there. All of the strange associations made

257
00:44:24.360 --> 00:44:31.039
to keep the past alive the present
dad are stored within it, waiting your

258
00:44:31.119 --> 00:44:37.039
command. That they'd be brought to
you and lived again. And thus do

259
00:44:37.119 --> 00:44:45.440
their effects appear to be increased by
time which took away their cause? Wow,

260
00:44:45.480 --> 00:44:50.119
that is a dilemma. The effects
seem to be increased in time,

261
00:44:50.519 --> 00:44:52.239
but the cause is no longer there, so there's nothing you can do about

262
00:44:52.280 --> 00:45:00.639
it. Wow, No talk about
hell. That's hell. Yet time is

263
00:45:00.719 --> 00:45:06.920
but another phase of what does nothing. It works hand in hand with all

264
00:45:06.960 --> 00:45:12.039
the other attributes with which you seek
to keep concealed the truth about yourself.

265
00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:20.159
Time neither takes away nor can restore, and yet you make strange use of

266
00:45:20.199 --> 00:45:24.000
it, as if the past has
caused the present, which is but a

267
00:45:24.039 --> 00:45:30.079
consequence in which no change can be
made possible because its cause has gone.

268
00:45:31.760 --> 00:45:38.400
Yet change must have a cause that
will endure, or else it will not

269
00:45:38.599 --> 00:45:46.519
last. No change can be made
in the present if its cause is pasted.

270
00:45:49.039 --> 00:45:52.039
Only the past is held in memory
as you make use of it.

271
00:45:52.719 --> 00:45:58.400
And so it is a way to
hold the past against them. Now.

272
00:45:59.360 --> 00:46:08.000
Wow, here it is remember nothing
that you have taught yourself, for you

273
00:46:08.079 --> 00:46:15.000
were badly taught. And who would
keep a senseless lesson in his mind when

274
00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:21.559
he can learn and preserve a better
one, When ancient memories of hate appear.

275
00:46:22.440 --> 00:46:27.320
Remember that their cause is gone,
and so you cannot understand what they

276
00:46:27.360 --> 00:46:32.800
are. For Let not the cause
that you would give them now be what

277
00:46:32.800 --> 00:46:38.800
it was, made them what they
were or seemed to be. Be glad

278
00:46:39.039 --> 00:46:45.559
that it is gone, for this
is what you would be pardoned from.

279
00:46:45.599 --> 00:46:57.199
And see instead the new effects of
cause accepted now with consequences here they will

280
00:46:57.239 --> 00:47:05.599
surprise you with their loveliness. The
ancient new ideas they bring will be the

281
00:47:05.639 --> 00:47:12.800
happy consequences of a cause with a
capital CE, so ancient that it far

282
00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:21.079
exees the span of memory which your
perception sees. This is the cause the

283
00:47:21.159 --> 00:47:27.320
Holy Spirit has remembered for you when
you would forget. It is not passed

284
00:47:27.760 --> 00:47:34.159
because he'd let it not be unremembered. It has never changed because there never

285
00:47:34.360 --> 00:47:37.280
was a time in which he did
not keep it safely in your mind.

286
00:47:38.320 --> 00:47:45.519
Its consequences will indeed seem new,
because you thought that you remembered not their

287
00:47:45.639 --> 00:47:52.360
cause. Yet it was never absent
from your mind, for it is not

288
00:47:52.440 --> 00:48:00.679
your father's will that he be unremembered
by his son. One more sentence,

289
00:48:01.360 --> 00:48:08.079
what you remember never was kay,
So let me go back to our lesson

290
00:48:08.119 --> 00:48:22.840
now, and this is how we're
going to spend our day. Assure yourself

291
00:48:22.960 --> 00:48:30.480
often today that your problems have been
solved. Repeat the idea with deep conviction

292
00:48:30.280 --> 00:48:37.039
as frequently as possible, and be
particularly sure to apply the idea for today

293
00:48:37.119 --> 00:48:45.119
to any specific problem that may arise. Say quickly, let me recognize this

294
00:48:45.159 --> 00:48:52.519
problem has been solved. Let us
be determined not to collect grievances today.

295
00:48:52.840 --> 00:49:00.719
Let us be determined to be free
of problems that do not exist. Means

296
00:49:00.800 --> 00:49:07.760
is simple honesty. Do not see
yourself about what the problem is, and

297
00:49:07.840 --> 00:49:14.920
you must recognize that it has been
solved. Wow, thank you so much.

298
00:49:15.880 --> 00:49:22.360
So this concludes the lesson for today. And you know, as everyone

299
00:49:22.119 --> 00:49:28.599
may or may not know, on
Sunday, on Palm Sunday begins our Easter

300
00:49:28.760 --> 00:49:35.280
event here at the Miracles Healing Center, and we would very much be delighted

301
00:49:35.360 --> 00:49:42.199
if you would join us here or
wherever you are. And all the information
