Speaker 1: And so.
Speaker 2: Reads my name inside.
Speaker 3: He sees my name across and.
Speaker 4: To me, y'all, i'll interrupt the song of the welcome
Speaker 4: that one to this morning classed the lesson of the day.
Speaker 4: I'm very very sorry.
Speaker 3: That I didn't you the.
Speaker 4: Appointed time, which is nine o'clock in the US Central time.
Speaker 4: I am currently in Spain, and I was absolutely.
Speaker 5: Sure that I had it all figured out what time
Speaker 5: I was going to do it, and for some unexplicable reason,
Speaker 5: the time passed by, and it's now five thirty in
Speaker 5: the afternoon.
Speaker 3: Here.
Speaker 4: You will, amiable. If you're not listening now, you will
Speaker 4: be able to catch this class hopefully later. I'm a speaker.
Speaker 4: If you're still interested day, if the lesson of the day,
Speaker 4: you would normally read this lesson at the beginning of
Speaker 4: the day, and so I trust everybody did so. But
Speaker 4: yet we're going to involve ourselves in this class with
Speaker 4: a lesson three forty seven, which is a great it's
Speaker 4: an incredible lesson, actually, And the more we engage ourselves
Speaker 4: in this theme what is the miracle? What is a miracle?
Speaker 4: The more we actually begin to appreciate, at least this
Speaker 4: is what happens with me. The more I begin to
Speaker 4: appreciate the value of the miracle and what becomes what
Speaker 4: becomes a real what becomes a real experience is the
Speaker 4: certainty that is expressed in less than ninety one miracles
Speaker 4: are seen in light that the miracle is going all
Speaker 4: all the time, and that the only thing the problem
Speaker 4: is your only problem would be that you are not
Speaker 4: aware of it. It doesn't your awareness is not necessary
Speaker 4: for it to be available, nor is your denial of
Speaker 4: the occurrence a reason for the miracle not to be present.
Speaker 4: It is going on all the time, and it's only
Speaker 4: your We're only concerning ourselves with actually in this course
Speaker 4: of miracles, to yeah to wipe away or to to
Speaker 4: express the intention that are our defenses against the miracle,
Speaker 4: from against the happening miracle from happening to be wiped
Speaker 4: away for us. And so this is part of the
Speaker 4: lesson of the day. So what we'll start doing will
Speaker 4: read the as we as we do, we will read
Speaker 4: what is a miracle? And welcome everyone. And again I'm
Speaker 4: sorry that I was not there at the point in time,
Speaker 4: but hey, time is going on all the time, so
Speaker 4: if you'll catch it, you'll catch it. Here is the
Speaker 4: entire What is a miracle theme. A miracle is a correction.
Speaker 4: It does not create nor really change at all. It
Speaker 4: merely looks on devastation and reminds the mind that what
Speaker 4: it sees is false. It undoes error, but does not
Speaker 4: attempt to go beyond perception nor exceed the function of forgiveness.
Speaker 4: Thus it stays within time's limits. Yet it paves the
Speaker 4: way for the return of timelessness and loves awakening, for
Speaker 4: fear must slip away, slip away under the gentle remedy
Speaker 4: it brings. A miracle contains the gift of grace, for
Speaker 4: it is given and received as one, and thus it
Speaker 4: illustrates the law of truth. The world does not obey
Speaker 4: because it fails entirely to understand its ways. A miracle
Speaker 4: inverts perception, which was upside down before, and thus it
Speaker 4: ends the strange distortions that were manifest. Nower's perception open
Speaker 4: to the truth. Now is forgiveness seen as justified. So
Speaker 4: forgiveness is actually seen as justified as the miracle. As
Speaker 4: the miracle occurs, there in fact simultaneous occurrences. You could
Speaker 4: say forgiveness is the home of miracles. The eyes of
Speaker 4: Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy
Speaker 4: and in love. Perception stands corrected in his sight, and
Speaker 4: what was made was meant to curse has come to
Speaker 4: bless Each lily or forgiveness offers all the world the
Speaker 4: silent miracle of love, and each is laid before the
Speaker 4: Word of God upon the universal altar to Creator and
Speaker 4: creation in the light of perfect purity and endless joy.
Speaker 4: The miracle is taken first on faith, because to ask
Speaker 4: for it implies the mind has been made ready to
Speaker 4: conceive or what it cannot see and does not understand.
Speaker 4: Yet faith will bring its witnesses to show that what
Speaker 4: it rested on is really there, and thus the miracle
Speaker 4: will justify your faith in it and show it rested
Speaker 4: on a world more real than what you saw before,
Speaker 4: a world redeemed from what you thought was there. Miracles
Speaker 4: fall like drops of healing rain from heaven on a
Speaker 4: dry and dusty world where starved and thirsty creatures come
Speaker 4: to die. Now they have water. Now the world is green,
Speaker 4: and everywhere the signs of life spring up to show
Speaker 4: that what is born can never die. For what has
Speaker 4: life has immortality, and what has life has immortality because
Speaker 4: there is only one life, and that I share with God,
Speaker 4: and I love the more I read this, the more
Speaker 4: we can love this. This, yeah, this centerpiece you could say,
Speaker 4: of course, in miracles, because it really addresses the question
Speaker 4: what is a miracle. And one of the things that
Speaker 4: occurred to me this morning when I was reading this
Speaker 4: one sentence and each is each lily, a forgiveness is
Speaker 4: laid before the Word of God brought me back to
Speaker 4: the idea of John One where it says in the
Speaker 4: beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God,
Speaker 4: and the Word was God. It is it is really
Speaker 4: that intent, that that the Word is God, and that
Speaker 4: the further we go back to that certainty, the more
Speaker 4: the closer we come to the actually, yeah, to recognizing
Speaker 4: the validity if I can use that word of forgiveness,
Speaker 4: the justification of forgiveness, of forgiveness being fully justified on
Speaker 4: the basis of what we are, and that actually that
Speaker 4: is that is as close as we can get to
Speaker 4: recognizing the Word of God as God as what we are.
Speaker 4: Whereas we begin to fail quite quickly here. Okay, so
Speaker 4: the lesson of the day then is less than three
Speaker 4: forty seven. Anger must come from judgment. Judgment is the
Speaker 4: weapon I would use against myself to keep the miracle
Speaker 4: away from me. Wow, that's amazing. Judgment is the weapon
Speaker 4: and I would use against myself to keep the miracle
Speaker 4: away from me. It's not that the miracle is not there.
Speaker 4: It is still there. It is always there. And so
Speaker 4: in the first thing you could say, just from reading
Speaker 4: this the lesson title itself, that you would recognize that
Speaker 4: by giving up judgment, the miracle becomes available to you,
Speaker 4: and that your anger is any anger, that your experience
Speaker 4: is actually an indication that you have judged and are
Speaker 4: keeping the miracle that is available to you away from you.
Speaker 4: And as you begin to see with lesser number ninety
Speaker 4: one that the miracle is going on is always there,
Speaker 4: then you can see that there is really no necessity
Speaker 4: for that, that you just made a mistake in keeping
Speaker 4: the miracle outside yourself. The occurrence of the miracle is
Speaker 4: really not an accident or a coincidence or whatever.
Speaker 3: It is.
Speaker 4: There if you intend to see it. Father, I want
Speaker 4: what goes against my will, and do not want what
Speaker 4: is my will to have is the premise on which
Speaker 4: you could say, of course, in miracles is built that
Speaker 4: you could say, well, I want miracles and I love miracles.
Speaker 4: But really the truth of it is you. In this
Speaker 4: situation in which you find yourself in a judgmental association
Speaker 4: with everything around you, everything that you think you see,
Speaker 4: you are actually actively choosing against your own will and
Speaker 4: do not want what is your will to have. And
Speaker 4: this is why forgiveness is giving you here. This is
Speaker 4: why we are talking about the miracle as a correction.
Speaker 4: Straighten my mind. My father, it is sick, but you
Speaker 4: have offered freedom, and I choose to claim your gift today,
Speaker 4: and so I give all judgment to the one you
Speaker 4: gave to me to judge for me. He sees what
Speaker 4: I behold, and yet he knows the truth. He looks
Speaker 4: on pain, and yet he understands it is not real,
Speaker 4: and in his understanding it is healed. He gives the
Speaker 4: miracles my dreams would hide from my awareness. Let him
Speaker 4: judge to day. I do not know my will, but
Speaker 4: he is sure it is your own, and he will
Speaker 4: speak for me and call your miracles to come to me.
Speaker 4: Listen today, be very still, and hear the gentle voice
Speaker 4: for God assuring you that he has judged you as
Speaker 4: the son he loves. And so this is where where
Speaker 4: you may become very active in offering all your judgments
Speaker 4: to the Holy Spirit and in fact offer everything you
Speaker 4: see or you think you see lesser number one. Nothing
Speaker 4: I see means anything I've judged in amiss according to
Speaker 4: less than number three. It's your judgment that has given
Speaker 4: it the meaning that you think it has, and it
Speaker 4: is really not what it is. Actually, those are all
Speaker 4: the things that you do not want and not in yeah,
Speaker 4: in truth what you do not want, but you have
Speaker 4: to acknowledge for one second that it's actually what you
Speaker 4: want and that it goes against your will. And in
Speaker 4: that sense is this course in miracle is a very
Speaker 4: practical course. It is not trying to find a solution
Speaker 4: for your problem, because the problems that you think you
Speaker 4: have really have no solution. So like, Okay, I have
Speaker 4: a problem, I need of need of parking space, or
Speaker 4: I have cancer, Please I need a miracle to to
Speaker 4: solve this for me, is not what this course of
Speaker 4: miracles is offering. It is really the the removal of
Speaker 4: the black the blocks to the awareness of Love's presence,
Speaker 4: where the things that you are concerned about are really
Speaker 4: not of any concern. And this is what this course
Speaker 4: of miracles is offering you. This is what the mind
Speaker 4: training is offering you. This is what the practical application
Speaker 4: of this of these lessons offers you. That that your
Speaker 4: mind begins to get become adjusted to.
Speaker 3: UH.
Speaker 4: And this will this is what you will see in
Speaker 4: the beginning of of course of Course in Miracles, if
Speaker 4: you care to look that you get a custom to
Speaker 4: performing miracles, and that miracle, the miracle is actually going
Speaker 4: on all around you, if you just step out of
Speaker 4: the way and allow forgiveness to wrestle on all things.
Speaker 4: Is the lesson will will prescribe. I will will take
Speaker 4: a little break just to to consider this lesson for
Speaker 4: a minute, and then I would like to come back
Speaker 4: and read from the text of Course in Miracles lesson
Speaker 4: in chapter three where it says judgment and the authority
Speaker 4: and the authority problem, which is obviously actually what this
Speaker 4: is also pointing to. And I'm just going to be
Speaker 4: curious to see how this feeds into this lesson. Let's
Speaker 4: just have one song and then then I'll come be
Speaker 4: right back with that. Let's see what we have here.
Speaker 4: That was not what I was looking for. I was
Speaker 4: looking for another so it's heaven is calling you.
Speaker 2: Softly, draw back the curtains, opened, the windows, pull up
Speaker 2: the lines, softly, n letting the lie in heavenly every
Speaker 2: so divine.
Speaker 3: Oh, everything was calling you. Everything is calling you.
Speaker 6: And the kids baccady, come back, come back, come.
Speaker 3: Come come.
Speaker 1: Gentlyna, gather your men, rees, send them free on agre
Speaker 1: rees Gentlyna.
Speaker 6: Hold of beas come through the flows and mans in
Speaker 6: the blood overythies on.
Speaker 4: Everyday is calling your name.
Speaker 3: Kids back any come back, come back, come back, come back,
Speaker 3: come come back.
Speaker 1: Come the Jane Pina.
Speaker 3: Song me.
Speaker 4: Jane, Okay, thank you so much, Mitch. It's a wonderful song. So,
Speaker 4: as I said, on this day where the lesson is
Speaker 4: uh uh anger comes from judgment, and this is you know,
Speaker 4: this is how you keep the miracle away from you.
Speaker 4: Let's read from chapter three, the sixth section, Judgment and
Speaker 4: the authority problem. Let's see how far we get with this.
Speaker 4: If that's his, if this is is okay with everyone.
Speaker 4: We have already discussed the last judgment, but insufficient detail.
Speaker 4: But in insufficient detail, after the last judgment, there will
Speaker 4: be no more. Judgment is symbolic because judgment is symbolic
Speaker 4: because perception. Beyond perception, there is no judgment. Wow symbolic
Speaker 4: because beyond perception there is no judgment. Judgment is the
Speaker 4: realm of symbols, and this is what you are aware
Speaker 4: of in the world you see, and beyond perception there
Speaker 4: is no judgment and therefore no symbolic when the people,
Speaker 4: when the Bible says judge not that you be not judged,
Speaker 4: it means that if you judge the reality of others,
Speaker 4: will you will be unable to avoid? Sorry, sorry for that.
Speaker 4: When the Bible says judge not that you be not judged,
Speaker 4: it means that if you judge the reality of others,
Speaker 4: you will be unable Sorry. It means that if you
Speaker 4: judge the reality of others, you will be unable to
Speaker 4: avoid judging your own. So it is it is actually
Speaker 4: having that effect effect Immediately you will you will also
Speaker 4: be judging your own reality, and you will be judging
Speaker 4: it in as it is not, and it is a
Speaker 4: wilful act of self deception. That is, it is important
Speaker 4: to recognize that. So that's the only purpose you would
Speaker 4: you could is there actually the only purpose that judgment?
Speaker 4: Then han has the choice to judge rather than to know.
Speaker 4: Is the cause of the loss of peace. Judgment is
Speaker 4: the process on which perception, but not knowledge, rests. I
Speaker 4: have thus discussed this before in terms of the selectivity
Speaker 4: of perception, pointing out that evaluation is its obvious prerequisite evaluation,
Speaker 4: which is what judgment is. Judgment always involves rejection. It
Speaker 4: never emphasizes only the positive aspects of what is judged,
Speaker 4: whether in you or in others. What has been perceived
Speaker 4: and rejected or judged and found wanting remains in your
Speaker 4: mind because it has been perceived. One of the illusions
Speaker 4: from which you suffer is the belief that what you
Speaker 4: judged against has no effect. This cannot be true unless
Speaker 4: you also believe that what you judged against does not exist.
Speaker 4: You evidently do not believe this, or you would not
Speaker 4: have judged against it. In the end, this is really cool.
Speaker 4: Is a really cool reasoning. I'll read this again. One
Speaker 4: of the illusions from which you suffer is the belief
Speaker 4: that what you judged against has no effects. This cannot
Speaker 4: be true unless you also believe that what you judged
Speaker 4: against does not exist. You evidently do not believe this,
Speaker 4: that it does not exist, or you would not have
Speaker 4: judged against it. In the end, it does not matter
Speaker 4: whether your judgment is right or wrong. Either way, you
Speaker 4: are placing your belief in the unreal. This cannot be
Speaker 4: avoided in any type of judgment because it implies the
Speaker 4: belief that reality is yours to select from. Wow, and
Speaker 4: reality is obviously the realm of you could say beyond
Speaker 4: the miracle, because the miracle is actually clearing that up
Speaker 4: if you allow the Holy Spirit to to to demonstrate
Speaker 4: or to show you, because vision will will make miracles
Speaker 4: apparent to you and make your reality a parent to you.
Speaker 4: You have no idea of the tremendous release and deep
Speaker 4: peace that comes from meeting yourself and your brother's totally
Speaker 4: without judgment. Wow. What an incredible offering that this is.
Speaker 4: This is This is not debatable as it is stated,
Speaker 4: is stated as a as a fact that the piece
Speaker 4: that you're actually looking for is from that. And what
Speaker 4: is wonderful about the lesson of the day is that
Speaker 4: your anger is when it's when it's apparent. You now
Speaker 4: know with lesson three forty seven that anger comes from judgment.
Speaker 4: You have judged, and you have judged, and this is
Speaker 4: the result. You're angry and you don't understand why you
Speaker 4: give it all sorts of reasons. You're never You're never
Speaker 4: upset for the reason that you think so, you're you're
Speaker 4: looking at something that is not there. And this is
Speaker 4: why you're upset. When you recognize what you are and
Speaker 4: what your brothers are, you will realize that judging them
Speaker 4: in any ways without meaning. And it's not that you
Speaker 4: are not allowed to judge. It is not that you
Speaker 4: should not judge. That's what Jesus says in the in
Speaker 4: the Teacher's Manual. It's not that you shouldn't be judging.
Speaker 4: It's not we're not judging you for judging. It is
Speaker 4: actually is why would you want to do it? If
Speaker 4: it has this effect? And if and it and what
Speaker 4: he is saying giving you as a fact that he's
Speaker 4: demonstrating to you that judging has no meaning. So then
Speaker 4: the question becomes why would you? You can? But why
Speaker 4: would you It is the course of your difficulty. In fact,
Speaker 4: their meaning is lost to you precisely because the meaning
Speaker 4: of your brothers is lost to you, precisely because you
Speaker 4: are judging them all uncertainly. Uncertainty comes from the belief
Speaker 4: that you are under the coercion of judgment. You have
Speaker 4: no choice in the matter. You do not need judgment
Speaker 4: to organize your life, and you certainly do not need
Speaker 4: it to organize yourself. In the presence of knowledge, all
Speaker 4: judgment is automatically suspended, and this is the process that
Speaker 4: enables recognition to replace perception. I'll read it again. You
Speaker 4: do not need judgment to organize your life, and you
Speaker 4: certainly do not need it to organize yourself. In the
Speaker 4: presence of knowledge, All judgment is automatically suspended, and this
Speaker 4: is the process that enables recognition to replace perception. You
Speaker 4: are very fearful of everything you perceive but have refused
Speaker 4: to accept. You believe that because you have refused to
Speaker 4: accept it, you have lost control over it. Well, I'll
Speaker 4: read it again. You are very fearful of everything you
Speaker 4: perceive but have refused. You perceive but have refused to accept.
Speaker 4: You believe that because you have refused to accept it,
Speaker 4: you have lost control over it. This is why you're fearful,
Speaker 4: and this is why you see it in nightmares or
Speaker 4: in pleasant disguises, in what seemed to be your happier dreams.
Speaker 4: Nothing that you have refused to accept can be brought
Speaker 4: into awareness. It is not dangerous in itself, but you
Speaker 4: have made it seem dangerous to you. So we're beginning
Speaker 4: to see what he means. By you stop judging, then
Speaker 4: everything is allowed in to your awareness, and you will
Speaker 4: begin to recognize that you don't there's no reason for
Speaker 4: you to be afraid of anything. When you feel tired,
Speaker 4: it is because here, here another demonstration, here's something else
Speaker 4: that you can You can say, I'm tired, so he
Speaker 4: this is reason why. It is because you have judged
Speaker 4: yourself as capable of being tired. When you laugh at someone,
Speaker 4: it is because you have judged him as unworthy. And
Speaker 4: when you laugh at yourself, you must laugh at others,
Speaker 4: if only because you cannot tolerate the idea of being
Speaker 4: more unworthy than they are. Wow, these are all things
Speaker 4: that you are very well aware that you're doing him
Speaker 4: as you interact with your brothers. All this makes you
Speaker 4: feel tired because it is essentially disheartening. You are not
Speaker 4: really capable of being tired, but you are very capable
Speaker 4: of wearing yourself. The strain of constant judgment is virtually intolerable.
Speaker 4: See this is also a way in which you judge
Speaker 4: by laughing at others, Laughing at yourself. You're judging yourself.
Speaker 4: It is very tiring. The strain of constant judgment is
Speaker 4: virtually intolerable. It is curious that an ability so debilitating
Speaker 4: would be so deeply cherished. Yet, if you wish to
Speaker 4: be the author of reality, you will insist on holding
Speaker 4: on to judgment. And this is why we are reading this.
Speaker 4: This is the authority problem that you have. You want
Speaker 4: to be the author, you want to be in control
Speaker 4: of reality. You will also regard judgment with fear, believing
Speaker 4: that it will someday be used against you. This belief
Speaker 4: can exist only to the extent that you believe in
Speaker 4: the efficacy of judgment as a weapon of defense for
Speaker 4: your own authority. Again, this belief can exist only to
Speaker 4: the extent that you believe in the efficacy efficacy of
Speaker 4: judgment as a weapon of defense for your own authority,
Speaker 4: which it would have to be. God offers only mercy.
Speaker 4: Your words should reflect only mercy. Wow, you are as
Speaker 4: God created you. This is you are as He is.
Speaker 4: And this is why this is the uh the direction.
Speaker 4: Not because that is what you were ordered to do,
Speaker 4: it's what you would you you would be advised to
Speaker 4: do if you are as God created you, because that
Speaker 4: is what you have received, mercy, and that is what
Speaker 4: you should give. Justice. What a wonderful lesson here, justice
Speaker 4: is a temporary expedient or an attempt to teach you
Speaker 4: the meaning of mercy. It is judgmental only because you
Speaker 4: are capable of injustice. I've spoken of different symptoms, and
Speaker 4: at that level there is almost endless, endless variation. There is, however,
Speaker 4: only one cause for all of them, the authority problem. Wow,
Speaker 4: symptoms and the authority problem are almost are almost synonymous.
Speaker 4: You could say this is the root of all evil.
Speaker 4: Every symptom the ego makes involves a contradiction in terms,
Speaker 4: because the mind is split between the ego and the
Speaker 4: Holy Spirit, so that whatever the ego makes is incomplete
Speaker 4: and contradictory. This untenable position is the result of the
Speaker 4: authority problem, which, because it accepts the one inconceivable thought
Speaker 4: as its premise, can produce only ideas that are inconceivable.
Speaker 4: The issue of authority is a question of authorship, cool authorship.
Speaker 4: Who is the creator? Who is the creator of my reality?
Speaker 4: When you have an authority problem, it is always because
Speaker 4: you believe you are the author of yourself and project
Speaker 4: your delusion onto others. You then perceive the situation as
Speaker 4: one in which others are literally fighting you for your authorship.
Speaker 4: This is cool, this says. If I never read this,
Speaker 4: this is the fundamental error. Just a few more paragraphs,
Speaker 4: with your permission. This is the fundamental error of all
Speaker 4: those who believe that have usurped the power of God.
Speaker 4: This belief is very frightening to them, but hardly troubles God.
Speaker 4: He is, however, eager to undo it, not to punish
Speaker 4: its children, but only because he knows that it makes
Speaker 4: them unhappy. God's creations are given their true authorship, but
Speaker 4: you prefer to be an anonymous when you choose. You
Speaker 4: choose to separate yourself from your author, being uncertain of
Speaker 4: your true authorship. As you are created by God, you
Speaker 4: believe that your creation was anonymous. This leaves you in
Speaker 4: a position where it sounds meaningful to believe that you
Speaker 4: created yourself. You believe that your creation was anonymous. This
Speaker 4: leaves you in a position where it sounds meaningful that
Speaker 4: you believe you created yourself. Interesting this, the dispute over authorship,
Speaker 4: has left such uncertainty in your mind that it may
Speaker 4: even doubt whether you really exist. At all. Okay, two
Speaker 4: more paragraphs only those or three more paragraphs. Only those
Speaker 4: who give over all desire to reject can know that
Speaker 4: their own rejection is possible. It's impossible. The word rejection,
Speaker 4: rejection of your brother, rejection of anything. It's the opposite
Speaker 4: of the word acceptance that we read just a minute ago.
Speaker 4: It's like, if you accept everything as it is, then
Speaker 4: there is no judgment, and if you reject, you begin
Speaker 4: to accept yourself. If you reject your reject yourself, you
Speaker 4: have not usurped the power of God, but you have
Speaker 4: lost it. Cool. Fortunately, to lose something does not mean
Speaker 4: that it has gone. It merely means that you do
Speaker 4: not remember where it is. Its existence does not depend
Speaker 4: on your ability to identify it or even to place it.
Speaker 4: It is possible to look on reality without judgment and
Speaker 4: merely know that it is there. Wow. What an amazing
Speaker 4: This is the faith that comes with miracles. Somewhere you
Speaker 4: begin to trust that the Holy Spirit is actually seeing
Speaker 4: for you, and is seeing for is seeing what is true,
Speaker 4: and that you're in safe hands, and that you can
Speaker 4: allow you can allow to give over everything without the
Speaker 4: fear of losing anything, because loss is impossible peace is
Speaker 4: a natural heritage of spirit. Everyone is free to refuse
Speaker 4: to accept his inheritance, but he is not free to
Speaker 4: establish what his inheritance is. So peace is your peace
Speaker 4: has been saved for you. It cannot be lost. It
Speaker 4: is just waiting for you to accept it. But it
Speaker 4: is the peace of God. It's not something else. It's
Speaker 4: not a peace that you have devised for yourself. The
Speaker 4: problem everyone must decide is the fundamental question of authorship.
Speaker 4: All fear comes ultimately, and sometimes by way of very
Speaker 4: devious routes, from the denial of authorship. The offense is
Speaker 4: never to God, but only to those who deny him.
Speaker 4: To deny his authorship is to deny yourself the reason
Speaker 4: for your peace. So that you see yourself only in segments,
Speaker 4: This strange perception is the authority problem. This strange perception
Speaker 4: is the authority problem. So seeing yourself in segments as
Speaker 4: separated from everything is actually a demonstration of how how
Speaker 4: absolutely determined you are to be your own author and
Speaker 4: that it's actually a demonstration of the authority problem. It's not.
Speaker 4: It's the same as saying that. It's like he would say, Okay,
Speaker 4: it's arrogant to say that I'm the cause of what
Speaker 4: I see. No, it is arrogant to say that you're
Speaker 4: not that, and that you're at the mercy of everything
Speaker 4: that's happening around you, and that everything is happening for
Speaker 4: a reason or whatever, that you don't know about all
Speaker 4: that stuff. Thank you God for this. There is no
Speaker 4: one who does not feel that he is imprisoned in
Speaker 4: some way. If this is the result of his own
Speaker 4: free will, he must regard his will as not free,
Speaker 4: or the circular reasoning in reasoning in this position would
Speaker 4: be quite apparent. Free will must lead to freedom. Judgment
Speaker 4: always imprisons because it separates segments of reality by the
Speaker 4: unstable scales of desire. Wishes are not facts. To wish
Speaker 4: is to imply that willing is not sufficient. Yet no
Speaker 4: one in his right mind believes that what is wished
Speaker 4: is as real as what is willed. Instead of SEEKI
Speaker 4: first the Kingdom of heaven, say will ye first the
Speaker 4: kingdom of heaven? And you have said, I know what
Speaker 4: I am, and I accept my own inheritance. Wow, what
Speaker 4: an incredible lesson. And I'm grateful that I'm that I
Speaker 4: that I that I did not forget to do this
Speaker 4: class Finally I remembered. And this is what is occurring
Speaker 4: with you now, you're remembering that you're you may have
Speaker 4: forgotten about your your inheritance, but it is not lost.
Speaker 4: It's not it's you've lost the power. What did you say?
Speaker 4: You lost the power, But that power is not lost.
Speaker 4: You can still remember. And this is what a cursing
Speaker 4: miracles teaching. This is what a course of miracles is
Speaker 4: teaching us all the time. If you forget, just remember again,
Speaker 4: and you you're back there. The miracle is always going on.
Speaker 4: Reality is always available to you. All right. This was
Speaker 4: the lesson of the day, My lesson of the day,
Speaker 4: lesson three forty seven. I'll repeat the Let me see
Speaker 4: this anger must come from judgment. Judgment is the weapon
Speaker 4: I would use against myself to keep the miracle away
Speaker 4: from me. Father, I want what goes against my will,
Speaker 4: and do not want what is my will to have
Speaker 4: straighten my mind. My father, it is sick, But you
Speaker 4: have offered freedom, and I choose to claim your gift
Speaker 4: to day, and so I give all judgment to the
Speaker 4: one you gave to me to judge for me. He
Speaker 4: sees what I behold, and yet he knows the truth.
Speaker 4: He looks on pain, and yet he understands it is
Speaker 4: not real. And in his understanding is it healed. He
Speaker 4: gives the miracles my dreams would hide from my awareness.
Speaker 4: Let him judge to day. I do not know my will,
Speaker 4: for he is sure it is your own, and he
Speaker 4: will speak for me and call your miracles to come
Speaker 4: to me. Listen to day, be very still and hear
Speaker 4: the gentle voice for God shuring you that He has
Speaker 4: judged you as the son he loves. I love you
Speaker 4: all very much, and I thank you for your patience
Speaker 4: and bearing with me to day. And I wish you
Speaker 4: were a wonderful, wonderful day With this lesson, you.

Speaker 7: Miracles Healing Center. Remember that God's voice speaks to you
Speaker 7: all through the day, that God goes with you wherever
Speaker 7: you go, and that God is the mind with which
Speaker 7: you think. God bless us everyone,
