listening to the Lesson of the day, writing your voice for heaven. And
we had a nice long song to kind of get us in the in the
spirits. And obviously we're just needing to remind ourselves, right that we're whole
and perfect as God created us. And you've noticed that you need that daily
reminder. What most of you have noticed is that the daily remind is an
essential part of your awakening. Right, That's why we do lessons every day.
Right, That's why we practice this all day long. That's why we
get together in this class, however, right to just for a moment tune
in. Right, we're tuning in with reality, we're tuning in with God.
And as you, as you're being filled with the light of God,
then you take that with you in the business of the day. When you
go out into the world, you take that light with you and you then
fulfill your function as being the light of the world. So today we are
looking at the idea of what am I one am I. Let's read what
it says and then we'll read the Lesson of the day. I am God's
son, complete and healed and home, shining in the reflection of His love
in me as his creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life. In me is love
perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposites. I'm going to read
that again and look at how he just expresses the truth about you, not
your idea about yourself, but what you are in truth. I'll read that
again in me, right, because you have such a tendency just to skip
over that, but these are true ideas. Right in me? Is love
perfected, fear impossible, enjoy without opposite. That's an amazing idea. Fear
is impossible in you, Well, I'm fearful, Yeah, I know,
but it's impossible. You're only fearful because you're wrong about yourself. Right,
Well, I'm not really happy, while in you is joy established without opposites.
And you that's unhappy. It is not real, and that's your misidentity
of yourself. You have made an image of yourself, a concept of yourself
that has nothing to do but what you really are. And this is of
course why we get together and why we practice the reversal of thoughts. Right,
I need to remind myself right, that what I thought I was is
not what I am. I am the holy home of God himself. I
am the heaven where his love resides. I am His Holy siinlessness itself,
for in my purity abides his own. Our use for words is almost over
now. Yet in the final days of this one year that we gave to
God, together you and I, we found a single purpose that we shared.
Now this is the true thing, isn't it. We found a single
purpose of departure, if you will, from this world, by the practice
of the mind training. Of of course, in miracles, the training is
your departure, right. The training is the change of your mind, or
the departure is the change of your mind. That's what it is. It's
not some it's what makes it possible. Right. The thing that keeps you
here is your belief in it. What keeps you apparently here in space time
is the way you think, or Jesus will say in discourse and miracles,
the way you're actually really not thinking at all. Right, you're not really
thinking conceptual thinking, fearful thinking. And thus you joined with me. So
what I am are you as well? The truth of what we are is
not for words to speak or nor of, nor of, nor describe.
Right, words fail entirely. You can't express this in words. Yet we
can realize a function here, and words can speak of this and teach it
too. If we exemplify the words in us. Now that is really important,
right, So yet we can realize a function here, right, and
words can speak of this and teach it too. But then the last part
is word if we exemplify the words in us. Otherwise it becomes meaningless.
If we do not exemplify the words, and if they just remain words,
it's nothing and words are cheap, and this is say. Then you know,
you become an empty tinkling brass. I kind of forget how this is
expressed in but that's what it is, right, You just become you're just
repeating the words. That's not what we do. You're way better just exemplifying
it. Right, you can teach completely without words, and it would be
better than any any any any verbal expression of it. We are the bringers
of salvation. We accept part as saviors of the world, which through our
joint forgiveness, is redeemed. You've accepted you're part of salvation of savior of
the world. You've accepted the atonement, the onement for yourself. That's your
sole responsibility. You do not have another one. That's it. The sole
responsibility of you as a teacher of God is the onement for yourself. You
can't accept it for someone else. But this is your world. Your salvation
is the salvation of the world. And how is it saved through your forgiveness?
He says to our joint forgiveness. Right, because again we share that
single purpose, and this our gift is therefore given us. Right. If
you forgive, forgiveness will be given you. That truly is that simple right.
Through your forgiveness, you will be forgiven. You will experience your own
perfection. We look on everyone that's brother, and perceive all things as kindly
and as good. We do not seek a function that is past the gate
of heaven. Now, I mean that's not a function, a function in
time. What's beyond the gates of heaven is beyond the gates of heaven.
Right, it's not the goal of this course. The goal of this course
is salvation. Right, is is the correction of your mind. It's called
the course of miracles. Right, and not too long ago, what did
we read? We read that the miracle is a correction, correct, So
that's in time. And it says clearly that the miracle works in time,
and it does not intend to go beyond time. Right. What's beyond time
or what's beyond the gate of heaven right is not our concern. That will
be automatic once correction is completed. So we do not seek a function that
is past the gate of heaven. Knowledge will return when we have done our
parts. We are concerned only with giving welcome to the truth. Okay.
Ours are the eyes through which Christ's vigiencies of world redeemed from every thought of
sin. Ours are the ears that he had a voice for God proclaimed the
world as sinless. Ours the minds that join together as we bless the world,
and from the oneness that we have attained. We call to all our
brothers, asking them to share our peace and consummate I join. We are
the holy messengers of God, who speak for Him and carrying his word to
everyone whom He has sent to us. That we learn that it is written
on our hearts, and thus our minds are changed about the aim for which
we came and which we seek to serve. You no longer come to die.
You come to live. Right, although your purpose might have been death,
your new single purpose now is one of remembering who you are. We
bring glad tidings to the Son of God, who thought he suffered, Now
he is redeemed. And as he sees the gate of heaven stead open before
him, he will enter in and disappear into the heart of God. So
that's your idea of today. What am I right? This is what you'll
just kind of remember as you go about this day along with the lesson of
the day, right, And the lesson of the day is lesson three fifty
seven truth answers every goal we make to God, responding first with miracles and
then returning on to us to be itself. That is an amazing idea.
Right that every call that you make to Gods, which is always a call
for help, right, every call is always a call for help, first
happens is responded by with the miracle with correction. Because the whole idea that
you need help needs correction, or the whole idea that you think you are
in distress or that you're suffering or that needs correction. So the miracle is
the first response. There is a need for correction, there's a need for
salvation, healing, salvation. So the miracle is the correct response. But
then truth will return to you to be itself. Once the correction has taken
place. There is no obstacle to truth. Things are. That's the that's
what this course of miracles dot. It removes the obstacles to the awareness of
Love's presence. The obstacle is being removed by the miracle because the obstacle simply
the or the idea that there is an obstacle is an idea that needs correction.
There is no obstacle to truth. Now you might have soup, but
they're not true, hence correction. Hm. But once the correction has taken
place, right, the light of truth is simply there. Right, It's
it's you're you're you're healed. Right, you're saved, you're happy and free
and whole. That's what we just read. All right, let's see to
that lesson. It's a night, it's a short one right there, at
the last couple of days of the year. And okay, it says forgiveness
truth reflection. Oh I love that right. Forgiveness is the reflection of truth.
That's an amazing idea. Right, truth is truth, right, and
nothing else is true. It doesn't really have anything to do with space time.
But in space time in the world, the reflection of truth or the
equivalent of truth is forgiveness. I love that right. Forgiveness is not necessary
in heaven. There's nothing to forgive in reality. But if there is an
equivalent of truth here, it's forgiveness. Okay, So I got three words
into that. Good. Let's continue this lesson on right forgiveness. Truth to
reflection tells me how to offer miracles and thus escape the prison house in which
I think I live. That's an amazing idea. You can actually escape your
own self imposed bondage. Right. The way you think is the way you
bind yourself. Right, what you bind on earth will be bound in heaven,
but what you're free on earth will be free in heaven. You can
simply walk out of here by saying I have no need for this anymore.
Right, So forgiveness truth to reflection tells me how to offer miracles and thus
escape the prison house in which I think I live. In which I think
I live, I can't help noticing these things, and it doesn't say in
which I live. You're not really here, right, You don't really live
here, so in which I think you live. You think you are in
this world, you think you live in time. Right, none of that
is true. So the miracle is simply a correction of thought or reversal of
thought. It is not true. None of these thoughts are true. None
of my thoughts are true. Nothing I see means anything. Right. These
are all the lessons, and they're simply a correction of thoughts. All right,
Your holy son is pointed out to me, firstly my brother, and
then and me. I love that again. Forgiveness You first forgive your brother,
and then forgiveness will be giving you. Right, It's finally self forgiveness.
Right. Your voice instructs me patiently to hear your words and give us
a receive and give us our receive. Okay, your voice instructs me patiently
to hear your words and give as I receive. You have to give it
away to keep it right. The one thing that you've noticed is that if
you do not give it away, and that means that doesn't have a specific
form. That can look like anything, he says. It can look like
a smile, right, Or it can look like a little friendliness. Right.
It can look like a gentle reminder to your brother. Right it can?
It looks like I love you, I give us a receive And as
I look upon your son today, I hear your voice instructing me to find
the way to you. As you you appointed that the way shall be as
God appointed that the way it should be. Right. This is His plan
for your salvation. This is not your own plan. This plan is not
of your making. You're going to have to let go of what you think
your plan for salvation is, because I guarantee you that's not what God's plan
is. Your plan for salvation will be more bondage. It can't help yourself.
But there is a plan that guarantees that guarantees will work. That's God's
plan. Oh, it was the lesson. Only God's plan for salvation will
work. These are the lessons, though, aren't they They're not just random
lessons. They really have as its purpose that that that that that Indian thinking.
Okay, so let's sit with the lesson for the day for just a
moment, let me read it one more time. It's truth answers every call
we make to God, responding first miracles and then returning unto us to be
itself Okay, I'm going to play a little song. Listen to this as
for a moment we allow the light of truth to enter into our mind through
the practice of this lesson Pscu beggint to all. The road below me is
old and worn, and I must follow. Something new. I must follow.
I must follow something to, I must follow. It's everything you can
find for the love you thought you left behind? Hold it up, bend
darkness falls where? Take the memories from your shoe, does them off and
make them to hold them up? And darkness falls? Where? Oh them
up in lovely? Where this space? I'm weary. He's made of fain,
the world of nothing, He's rolling fad And I must follow. Something
new. I must follow. I must follow something to, I must follow.
It's everything you can find, all the love you thought you left behind?
Hold it up? And darkness falls? Where? Take the memories from
your shoes? Does them off and make them te hold them up? And
darkness falls? Where? Did hold them up in love with? Where the
sky begins to fall? The road being to me is old and worn,
and I must follow. Something I must follow. I must follow something to.
I must follow, I must follow, her must follow, I must
follow. I must follow, and I must follow something to her, must
follow the sky biggin to fall, beautiful, beautiful, thank you, mitche
that's gorgeous. I must follow. Right, you have no choice in this
now, But you finally discovered is you do really not have a choice in
this, And the moment you think you have a choice in this is going
to be very painful. The fact of the matter is, you cannot not
be who you are right somewhere in space time. You have to remember who
you were. It was inevitable. You can't. You can't eternally banish the
memory of God from your mind. Sooner or later, that memory would have
to reserve. Sooner or later, the memory of what you are had to
resurface to your mind at that point, right, you have well, you
have the choice to answer the call or not, and you have the choice
to delay if you will. But it's too late, right at that point
what he calls it the branch, the branching in the road. Right you
go to you come to a branch in the road, and you can't go
on anymore. You have to make a choice. Right, That's that's what
that is. And we are going to keep it a little short for today.
But I will read a couple of lessons that were before. It is
just the kind of just the kind of get us in there, you know,
just the kind of I don't know I've got with a couple of lessons.
Okay, so let me go back to Lessen start with Lesson three fifty
four. Okay, we stand together Christ and I in peace, uncertainty of
purpose, and in him is his creator as he is in me. My
oneness with the Christ establishes me as your son, beyond the reach of time,
and wholly free of every law but yours. I have no self except
the Christ in me. I have no purpose but his own, and he
is like his father. Thus must I be one with you as well as
him. For who is Christ? Accept your son as you created him?
And what am I? Accept the Christ in me? There is no end
to all the peace and joy and all the miracles that I will give when
I accept God's word? Why not today? Why should I wait, my
Father for the joy that you promised me? For you will keep your word.
You gave your son an exile. I am sure that my treasure waits
for me, and I need but reach out my hands to find it.
Even now, my fingers touch it. It is very very close. I
need not wait an instant more to be at peace forever. It is you
I choose, and my identity along with you. Your son would be himself
and know you as his father and creator and his love. Sickness is but
another name for sin. Healing is but another name for God. The miracle
is thus a call to him. Father, you promised you would never fail
to answer any call your son might make to you. It doesn't matter where
he is, what seems to be his problem. Listen what seems to be
his problem, now what he believes that he's become. He is your son,
and you will answer him. The miracle reflects your love, and thus
it answers him. Your name replaces every thought of sin, and who is
sinless cannot suffer pain. Your name gives answer to your son, because to
call your name is but to call his own. And then a lesson for
today one more time. Truth answers every call we make to God, responding
first with miracles and then returning out to us to be itself forgiveness. Truth's
reflection tells me how to offer miracles and thus escape the prison house which I
think I live. Your holy Son is pointed pointed out to me, first
in my brother and then in me. Your voice instructs me patiently to hear
your words and give as I receive. And as I look upon your son
today, your voice instructing me to find a way to you as you appoint
that the way it shall be. Behold his seedlessness, and be you heals.
That's it, that's the that's the thought that we give to you.
That you've been given. Right today, I was Jesus, say go and
say no more. Right, go out and be you no more separate from
your father, because you are not separate from your father. Right. So
as you go about your days today, if you go about your day,
whatever you're doing today, in these days running up to the birth of Christ,
than you, which is today, right, have a great, great
day. There is no reason why you should not have a splendid, excellent
day today. Right. You have been given the single thought that will guarantee
that for you. So I'm gonna play a little all song for you today.
Let me see if I can find it here. And and the only
thing I want to say is I love you. I love you with all
my heart. I have a great, great day. Listen to this h
m hmmmm ah fun which yard in h hallowed be thy name, Thy Kingdom,
Come, Thy will be done, honored as it in He give us
this day, our dayly brand gives as we forgive our lead us not into
temptation, but deliver from me, for the is the kingdom and the pale
and the glow. For you have been listening to voice from Heaven live in
the Miracle Sealing 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 every one
