WEBVTT 1 00:00:01.600 --> 00:00:05.120 Good morning. I'm really glad that you're here with me today, 2 00:00:05.200 --> 00:00:09.599 and I'm happy, uh that you're listening if in if 3 00:00:09.640 --> 00:00:13.199 you're tuned in, we have UH. Of course, today is 4 00:00:13.240 --> 00:00:18.519 our final lesson in this sequence before we enter into 5 00:00:18.640 --> 00:00:23.000 the review. And UH, obviously the lesson for today, let 6 00:00:23.079 --> 00:00:29.199 me recognize my problems have been solved. Uh is uh 7 00:00:29.480 --> 00:00:33.719 a carry on of yesterday's lesson, which giv did a 8 00:00:33.719 --> 00:00:40.799 fantastic job with yesterday's lesson. So but you'll notice and uh, 9 00:00:41.320 --> 00:00:45.280 and I'm saying this, UH, particularly for those who perhaps 10 00:00:45.280 --> 00:00:48.799 are new to the practice of the work book of 11 00:00:48.799 --> 00:00:53.840 a course in miracles, you'll notice that the lessons do 12 00:00:54.000 --> 00:00:56.640 give us an instruction, They give us a rationale and 13 00:00:56.679 --> 00:01:00.920 a reasonability to what we are performing in our people, 14 00:01:00.960 --> 00:01:07.040 performing in our minds. Yet we also see, or at 15 00:01:07.120 --> 00:01:11.640 least I hope you're beginning to see, that the ideas, 16 00:01:12.959 --> 00:01:16.920 while they are useful, it is really the practice and 17 00:01:17.000 --> 00:01:22.480 the application of them that will demonstrate to you that 18 00:01:22.560 --> 00:01:27.000 you can demonstrate to yourself the reality or the truth 19 00:01:27.680 --> 00:01:30.400 that is all around you, that is in you, that 20 00:01:30.519 --> 00:01:35.920 is everything and everywhere. Hello and anyway, So with that, 21 00:01:36.000 --> 00:01:40.680 I just I really want to just really express my 22 00:01:40.879 --> 00:01:46.359 love because you know, no matter what seems to have 23 00:01:46.400 --> 00:01:50.879 gone before, no matter you know what your experiences have been, 24 00:01:50.920 --> 00:01:55.359 what you consider positive or negative, it's always a new 25 00:01:55.640 --> 00:02:00.239 vista that opens up that you know. It is never 26 00:02:00.359 --> 00:02:05.599 a point in this undertaking where we settle in an 27 00:02:05.680 --> 00:02:08.360 idea that well, now this is it, and I found 28 00:02:08.479 --> 00:02:12.360 peace and I found happiness. Yes, you have found peace 29 00:02:12.400 --> 00:02:16.039 and you have found happiness. But that is ever increasing 30 00:02:16.080 --> 00:02:20.599 and ever expanding, and so we don't settle on a 31 00:02:20.759 --> 00:02:26.719 definition of what that is, but the realization that we 32 00:02:26.800 --> 00:02:31.080 come to through our own application of the exercises, through 33 00:02:31.159 --> 00:02:36.039 our own meditations, that you know, this is our reality 34 00:02:36.719 --> 00:02:41.280 and it is only this. So before I get into 35 00:02:41.319 --> 00:02:46.680 today's lesson, I wanted to share something that I discovered yesterday. 36 00:02:47.240 --> 00:02:54.159 I did not know that meditation the root or the 37 00:02:54.319 --> 00:02:57.400 connection of meditation, and I think it's in the Latin 38 00:02:57.479 --> 00:03:02.680 or whatever actually has root in medicine. I did not 39 00:03:02.800 --> 00:03:06.599 know that. But because you can really see that meditation 40 00:03:07.120 --> 00:03:15.039 or quieting the mind or quieting all of the assertions 41 00:03:15.719 --> 00:03:17.840 of what you are and what your problems are, and 42 00:03:17.840 --> 00:03:20.960 what this is, and what that is is literally healing, 43 00:03:21.680 --> 00:03:27.120 and it heals in every aspect. So I just found 44 00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:29.800 that I didn't know it. I was fascinated by that idea, 45 00:03:29.919 --> 00:03:32.800 So anyway, I just wanted to share that. Let's just 46 00:03:32.840 --> 00:03:36.039 play one song before we get into the lesson for today, 47 00:03:36.080 --> 00:03:37.319 and it's come to peace. 48 00:03:57.360 --> 00:04:05.919 Come to the table, m come to the feat, Come 49 00:04:06.199 --> 00:04:08.840 be the gear of the bread. 50 00:04:13.960 --> 00:04:18.399 Come as a lover, Come. 51 00:04:18.240 --> 00:04:19.279 As a friend. 52 00:04:22.319 --> 00:04:30.319 Come and join the joy that will not. As you soul, 53 00:04:32.600 --> 00:04:33.639 you shall me. 54 00:04:37.160 --> 00:04:38.399 If it's love. 55 00:04:40.800 --> 00:04:45.720 You would give, If. 56 00:04:45.560 --> 00:04:46.480 It's love. 57 00:04:48.600 --> 00:04:59.879 For which you live, love you must give, Come join them, 58 00:05:00.040 --> 00:05:00.519 give it me. 59 00:05:02.759 --> 00:05:04.680 Come as you walk. 60 00:05:07.199 --> 00:05:11.279 Come for a moment, Come to day. 61 00:05:15.439 --> 00:05:24.920 Some come by fire, some buy flve, but to love 62 00:05:25.319 --> 00:05:31.079 it's all say. 63 00:05:32.079 --> 00:05:47.160 Come be free commands, Come with me. 64 00:05:52.079 --> 00:05:55.160 To the past, to green. 65 00:06:00.240 --> 00:06:08.879 A quiet streams with a hood. 66 00:06:10.120 --> 00:06:55.680 Super thank you so much. So let us review a 67 00:06:55.720 --> 00:07:00.279 little bit. Yesterday let me recognize the problem so it 68 00:07:00.319 --> 00:07:04.240 can be solved, And today's lesson is let me recognize 69 00:07:04.240 --> 00:07:09.360 my problems have been solved. So we went from singular 70 00:07:09.480 --> 00:07:12.519 let me recognize my problem to let me recognize my 71 00:07:12.639 --> 00:07:16.480 problems have been solved. And he deals with this, of 72 00:07:16.560 --> 00:07:19.279 course in yesterday's lesson, And I just like to reread 73 00:07:19.319 --> 00:07:27.839 this idea The temptation to regard problems as many is 74 00:07:27.879 --> 00:07:34.360 to is the temptation to keep the problem of separation unsolved. 75 00:07:35.560 --> 00:07:38.639 The world seems to present you with a vast number 76 00:07:38.639 --> 00:07:45.959 of problems, each requiring a different answer. This perception places 77 00:07:46.000 --> 00:07:49.319 you in a position in which your problem solving must 78 00:07:49.399 --> 00:07:55.399 be inadequate and failure is inevitable. Okay, we can all 79 00:07:55.439 --> 00:07:59.480 admit to this by our own personal experience. Okay, no 80 00:07:59.519 --> 00:08:04.160 one can solve all the problems the world appears to hold. 81 00:08:05.160 --> 00:08:08.160 They seem to be on so many levels, in such 82 00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:13.680 varying forms, with such very varied content that they confront 83 00:08:13.759 --> 00:08:21.240 you with an impossible situation. Dismay and depression are inevitable 84 00:08:21.279 --> 00:08:26.399 as you regard them. Some spring up unexpectedly just as 85 00:08:26.480 --> 00:08:30.720 you think you have resolved the previous ones. Others remain 86 00:08:31.079 --> 00:08:36.600 unsolved under a cloud of denial, and rise to haunt 87 00:08:36.639 --> 00:08:39.879 you from time to time, only to be hidden again 88 00:08:41.039 --> 00:08:46.279 but still unsolved. Okay, we can all admit to this. 89 00:08:46.360 --> 00:08:50.000 And finally, we always look I mean, even in the 90 00:08:50.039 --> 00:08:52.840 idea of the world's problems, we look to our political 91 00:08:52.879 --> 00:08:54.799 system or are this or are that? To solve all 92 00:08:54.840 --> 00:08:57.840 these problems, and then complain about how all of that 93 00:08:58.039 --> 00:09:02.759 is because somewhere and it doesn't take a lot of 94 00:09:02.840 --> 00:09:07.399 thought to recognize that this is indeed the case. Everyone 95 00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:12.759 who walks this world deals with this idea. It's part 96 00:09:12.799 --> 00:09:18.240 of it. Okay, But here is our answer. All this 97 00:09:18.480 --> 00:09:24.960 complexity is but a desperate attempt not to recognize the 98 00:09:25.080 --> 00:09:32.200 problem and therefore not to let it be resolved. If 99 00:09:32.240 --> 00:09:37.360 you could recognize that your only problem is separation, no 100 00:09:37.480 --> 00:09:41.759 matter what form it takes, you could accept the answer 101 00:09:42.360 --> 00:09:48.919 because you would see its relevance. Perceiving the underlying constancy 102 00:09:48.960 --> 00:09:52.320 and all the problems that seem to confront you, you 103 00:09:52.360 --> 00:09:56.080 would understand that you have the means to solve them 104 00:09:56.159 --> 00:10:01.639 all and would use the means because you recognize the problem. 105 00:10:03.440 --> 00:10:09.480 So let's go to today's lesson. Let me recognize my 106 00:10:09.759 --> 00:10:15.320 problems have been solved. Okay, so we recognized the problem. 107 00:10:16.039 --> 00:10:23.799 Now we're recognized that they have been all solved. If 108 00:10:23.799 --> 00:10:28.639 you are willing to recognize your problems, you will recognize 109 00:10:28.919 --> 00:10:35.799 that you have no problem. Your one central problem has 110 00:10:35.919 --> 00:10:42.919 been answered, and you have no others. This is an 111 00:10:42.919 --> 00:10:50.879 invaluable idea because it already has been solved, is already occurred, 112 00:10:51.799 --> 00:10:58.000 and the distance that you place between yourself and the 113 00:10:58.159 --> 00:11:04.120 answer that has already occurred is what we call time. Yeah, 114 00:11:04.399 --> 00:11:07.159 but the value of that is is if you can 115 00:11:07.440 --> 00:11:13.320 stop and just drop, if I can say it that way, 116 00:11:13.919 --> 00:11:21.360 stop and allow for the fact that it has already occurred. 117 00:11:22.159 --> 00:11:26.840 And since it has already occurred, it's within your you 118 00:11:26.840 --> 00:11:30.120 can recognize it. It's within your ability to recognize it 119 00:11:30.600 --> 00:11:36.799 if you're willing to let it be so all right, 120 00:11:37.240 --> 00:11:43.919 Therefore you must be at peace. This is just another 121 00:11:43.960 --> 00:11:46.799 way of saying the same lesson that we had five 122 00:11:46.879 --> 00:11:51.879 days ago. The light has come. I have forgiven the world. 123 00:11:53.039 --> 00:11:57.440 It's already happened. The light has come. I have forgiven 124 00:11:57.480 --> 00:12:04.120 the world. My problem was my own grievance. Salvation must 125 00:12:04.200 --> 00:12:09.039 depends on recognizing this one problem and understanding that it 126 00:12:09.200 --> 00:12:17.559 has been solved. One problem, one solution. Salvation is accomplished. 127 00:12:18.320 --> 00:12:25.039 Freedom from conflict has been given. You accept that fact, 128 00:12:25.919 --> 00:12:29.919 and you are ready to take your rightfle place in 129 00:12:30.039 --> 00:12:38.480 God's plan for salvation. Accept accept as an action of 130 00:12:38.519 --> 00:12:43.360 the mind. It is a willingness, it's a granting, allowing 131 00:12:44.039 --> 00:12:49.679 taking for yourself. I know I'm not trying to belabor this, 132 00:12:50.279 --> 00:12:56.759 but this whole idea of just letting go, just letting 133 00:12:56.840 --> 00:13:04.080 go and allowing what has already occurred. 134 00:13:05.440 --> 00:13:05.519 Be. 135 00:13:05.799 --> 00:13:12.720 So is all that's being asked. Your only problem has 136 00:13:12.840 --> 00:13:19.279 been solved. Your only problem has been solved. Repeat this 137 00:13:19.759 --> 00:13:26.159 over and over to yourself today with gratitude and conviction. 138 00:13:27.519 --> 00:13:31.600 My only problem has been solved. Wow, you see how 139 00:13:31.639 --> 00:13:35.360 you can just relax into that My only problem has 140 00:13:35.440 --> 00:13:42.759 been solved. Okay, but that's an experience right now. Yeah, 141 00:13:45.559 --> 00:13:50.720 you have recognized your only problem, opening the way for 142 00:13:50.799 --> 00:13:56.279 the Holy Spirit to give you God's answer. You have 143 00:13:56.519 --> 00:14:03.559 laid deception aside and seen the light of truth. My 144 00:14:03.679 --> 00:14:09.279 only problem has been solved. You have accepted salvation for 145 00:14:09.320 --> 00:14:16.360 yourself by bringing the problem to the answer. My only 146 00:14:16.440 --> 00:14:21.480 problem has been solved. You can recognize the answer. Because 147 00:14:21.519 --> 00:14:27.600 the problem has been identified. You are entitled to peace today. 148 00:14:29.440 --> 00:14:35.440 A problem that has been resolved cannot trouble you. Only 149 00:14:35.519 --> 00:14:41.159 be certain you do not forget that all problems are 150 00:14:41.240 --> 00:14:46.720 the same. Their many forms will not deceive you. While 151 00:14:46.759 --> 00:14:53.919 you remember this one problem, one solution, accept the piece 152 00:14:54.960 --> 00:15:03.279 this simple statement brings in our longer practice periods. Today 153 00:15:03.679 --> 00:15:06.720 we will claim the peace that must be ours when 154 00:15:06.720 --> 00:15:12.440 the problem and the answer have been brought together. The 155 00:15:12.519 --> 00:15:20.679 problem must be gone because God's answer cannot fail. Having 156 00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:25.320 recognized one, you have recognized the other, so that you're 157 00:15:25.559 --> 00:15:30.039 depending on his answer. You're depending on God and the 158 00:15:30.279 --> 00:15:39.480 fact that he cannot fail. Simple, The solution is inherent 159 00:15:39.639 --> 00:15:44.679 in the problem. You are answered, and have accepted the answer. 160 00:15:45.679 --> 00:15:52.639 You are saved. Wow. Now, let the peace that your 161 00:15:52.679 --> 00:15:59.159 acceptance brings be given you. Close your eyes and receive 162 00:15:59.519 --> 00:16:09.759 your reward. Recognize that your problems have been solved. Recognize 163 00:16:10.440 --> 00:16:15.240 that you are out of conflict, free and at peace. 164 00:16:16.799 --> 00:16:22.480 Above all, remember that you have one problem, and that 165 00:16:22.639 --> 00:16:28.399 problem has one solution. It is in this that the 166 00:16:28.440 --> 00:16:33.799 simplicity of salvation lies. It is because of this that 167 00:16:33.879 --> 00:16:40.279 it is guaranteed to work. All right, So we're just 168 00:16:40.320 --> 00:16:42.679 going to take the time right now, and we're going 169 00:16:42.759 --> 00:16:49.679 to allow ourselves to accept the answer, to see that 170 00:16:49.759 --> 00:16:54.360 it has already been given to Let the peace wash 171 00:16:54.559 --> 00:16:57.960 over you, and we're going to just play some music 172 00:16:59.240 --> 00:17:06.000 and let that be Recognize your problems have been solved, 173 00:17:06.920 --> 00:17:13.640 close your eyes and receive your reward. 174 00:18:11.000 --> 00:19:25.680 Boo bac, don't. 175 00:19:33.079 --> 00:21:01.279 Look like it. 176 00:25:54.000 --> 00:30:35.759 La Okay, I'm gonna turn it down from there. And 177 00:30:35.799 --> 00:30:36.559 if we're going to. 178 00:30:40.559 --> 00:30:43.039 We're just going to allow ourselves for a moment to 179 00:30:45.519 --> 00:30:50.680 see why this is actually true, that your problems have 180 00:30:50.759 --> 00:30:54.960 been solved.

That is as much a 183 00:31:04.000 --> 00:31:08.480 part of your memory as the scenario that you play 184 00:31:08.519 --> 00:31:11.240 out in front and that in front of you, And 185 00:31:11.319 --> 00:31:17.039 not only that, you also recognize that you know memories 186 00:31:17.079 --> 00:31:21.279 can come and memories can go, just like that in 187 00:31:21.319 --> 00:31:24.279 the all you're always seeing and I'm not talking a 188 00:31:24.319 --> 00:31:28.039 memory about about something that the whole thing is a 189 00:31:28.119 --> 00:31:33.200 memory and there is actually no sequential order in that 190 00:31:33.440 --> 00:31:37.519 time is not sequential, and yet it is already over 191 00:31:38.480 --> 00:31:43.160 so along that context and the idea that your problems 192 00:31:43.240 --> 00:31:46.960 have already been solved, and it's just a matter of 193 00:31:47.079 --> 00:31:52.519 accepting what is true here and now let us turn 194 00:31:53.640 --> 00:31:59.920 to chapter twenty eight, and this is the present memory 195 00:32:00.079 --> 00:32:05.599 and doing a fear from chapter twenty eight present memory. 196 00:32:05.759 --> 00:32:14.799 The miracle does nothing. Oh, Chapter twenty eight, first one, 197 00:32:15.920 --> 00:32:17.720 and I just want to say thank you. I want 198 00:32:17.759 --> 00:32:23.200 to thank our translators for bringing this to all of 199 00:32:23.240 --> 00:32:29.240 our Spanish speaking brothers. Thank you guys. Okay, the miracle 200 00:32:29.279 --> 00:32:35.759 does nothing. All it does is to undo, and thus 201 00:32:35.759 --> 00:32:40.440 it cancels out the interference to what has been done. 202 00:32:40.640 --> 00:32:44.680 It does not add, but merely takes away. And what 203 00:32:44.720 --> 00:32:50.240 it takes away is long since gone, but being kept 204 00:32:50.839 --> 00:33:01.759 in memory appears to have immediate effects. This world was 205 00:33:01.960 --> 00:33:07.279 over long ago. The thoughts that made it are no 206 00:33:07.359 --> 00:33:11.119 longer in the mind that thought of them and loved 207 00:33:11.160 --> 00:33:17.519 them for a little while. The miracle but shows the 208 00:33:17.559 --> 00:33:22.599 past is gone, and what is truly gone has no effects. 209 00:33:23.720 --> 00:33:29.160 Remembering a cause can but produce illusions of its presence, 210 00:33:29.960 --> 00:33:36.240 not as effects. Wow, see the key is right here. 211 00:33:37.119 --> 00:33:42.079 All my problems have been solved, yet it is still 212 00:33:42.119 --> 00:33:45.920 incumbent upon me. And I say this for myself. Is 213 00:33:45.960 --> 00:33:49.240 always a quick forgetting. It's always a so it's wanting 214 00:33:49.279 --> 00:33:51.640 to pick up again. We're always picking up the drink 215 00:33:52.119 --> 00:33:55.359 of solving our problems. We're always picking up the idea 216 00:33:55.400 --> 00:34:00.559 that we have a problem. We're picking up an identity 217 00:34:01.079 --> 00:34:07.440 separate from everything. Okay, so all effects of guilt are 218 00:34:07.519 --> 00:34:13.719 here no more. For guilt is over in its passing, 219 00:34:13.800 --> 00:34:18.960 when its consequences left without a cause, why would you 220 00:34:18.960 --> 00:34:21.199 cling to it? In memory if you do not, if 221 00:34:21.199 --> 00:34:24.719 you did not desire its effects, I have to say 222 00:34:24.719 --> 00:34:27.000 what comes to mind with this? And I'm just gonna 223 00:34:27.480 --> 00:34:30.000 uh tell a little joke. I'm sure most of you 224 00:34:30.039 --> 00:34:34.400 have heard this one before. But the little joke goes 225 00:34:34.559 --> 00:34:38.239 like this, and it really does, uh demonstrate to me 226 00:34:38.360 --> 00:34:40.920 what I'm always doing when I want to hold on. 227 00:34:42.400 --> 00:34:44.679 So there was a nun who was walking along in 228 00:34:44.719 --> 00:34:51.440 the field and she tripped in a hole and she said, damn. 229 00:34:53.239 --> 00:34:53.480 Shit. 230 00:34:53.599 --> 00:35:01.920 I said damn hell, I said shit. Need I say more? 231 00:35:04.000 --> 00:35:08.719 This is this is my condition. No guilt is here 232 00:35:09.239 --> 00:35:13.400 no more. Alright, thanks for indulging me in that one. 233 00:35:14.239 --> 00:35:20.159 Now I just have to find my place again. I 234 00:35:20.199 --> 00:35:22.360 don't know how I lost it, but just give me 235 00:35:22.400 --> 00:35:25.079 a minute here. Oh yeah, I'll just read it from 236 00:35:25.119 --> 00:35:31.119 my screen, all right. So all the effects of guilt 237 00:35:31.199 --> 00:35:35.239 are here no more. For guilt is over and in 238 00:35:35.400 --> 00:35:40.440 its passing, when it's consequences left without a cause. Why 239 00:35:40.480 --> 00:35:42.440 would you cling to it in memory if you did 240 00:35:42.440 --> 00:35:50.079 not desire its effects. Remembering is as selective as perception 241 00:35:51.079 --> 00:35:55.960 being its passed tense. I just want to highlight one 242 00:35:56.000 --> 00:35:59.599 thing from this, and that was thus the question, why 243 00:35:59.599 --> 00:36:01.480 would you cling to it in memory if you did 244 00:36:01.519 --> 00:36:07.199 not desire its effects. And see the idea of clinging 245 00:36:07.400 --> 00:36:10.840 and desiring are exactly the same. And so this is 246 00:36:10.880 --> 00:36:15.559 an admission that you can actually make that if you're 247 00:36:15.559 --> 00:36:18.599 clinging to what it is and how it is and whatever, 248 00:36:18.920 --> 00:36:22.079 it's because you desire the effects, you can set No, 249 00:36:22.159 --> 00:36:26.159 I didn't. I don't desire to be sick. Well, yes, 250 00:36:26.239 --> 00:36:28.400 you do, because it allows you to be you. It 251 00:36:28.440 --> 00:36:32.239 allows you to be separate and somewhere. You know. You 252 00:36:32.239 --> 00:36:35.079 don't have to convince yourself of this, but if you 253 00:36:35.119 --> 00:36:41.280 can just entertain the possibility that you really do believe 254 00:36:42.440 --> 00:36:47.599 that the solution is going to cost you your own identity, 255 00:36:47.760 --> 00:36:51.039 it's going to cost you everything you believe it's going 256 00:36:51.119 --> 00:36:57.400 to cost you how you want it to be. But okay, 257 00:36:57.639 --> 00:37:00.159 that's what you wanted, that's how that's the price she 258 00:37:00.280 --> 00:37:05.119 want to pay, all right? Not in truth, but at 259 00:37:05.199 --> 00:37:10.559 least you begin to see that you are you are 260 00:37:10.719 --> 00:37:15.079 receiving the effects of your mind all the time. Okay, 261 00:37:15.320 --> 00:37:18.239 so let me just carry on. Why would you cling 262 00:37:18.280 --> 00:37:20.679 to it in memory if you do not desire its effects? 263 00:37:21.119 --> 00:37:26.920 Remembering is as selective as perception. Being its past tense 264 00:37:28.079 --> 00:37:32.280 It is the perception of the past as if it 265 00:37:32.320 --> 00:37:39.119 were occurring now, and still we're there to see. Memory, 266 00:37:39.760 --> 00:37:46.159 like perception, is a skill you made up by you 267 00:37:46.239 --> 00:37:49.679 to take the place of what God gave in your creation. 268 00:37:51.159 --> 00:37:54.440 And like all things you made, it can be used 269 00:37:54.639 --> 00:37:58.920 to serve another purpose and be the means for something else. 270 00:37:59.639 --> 00:38:02.000 It can be used to heal and not to hurt, 271 00:38:02.840 --> 00:38:09.360 if you so wish it be nothing employed for healing 272 00:38:10.199 --> 00:38:16.519 represents an effort to do anything at all. It is 273 00:38:16.559 --> 00:38:21.639 a recognition that you have no needs, which means that 274 00:38:21.719 --> 00:38:26.400 something must be done. We got this in an earlier chapter, 275 00:38:26.440 --> 00:38:30.840 in chapter eighteen, I need do nothing, But when Helen 276 00:38:30.960 --> 00:38:33.239 was taken down the notes, this actually turned up in 277 00:38:33.280 --> 00:38:36.039 the special messages? Am I correct about that it turned 278 00:38:36.320 --> 00:38:41.199 up in the special messages? It is really this whole idea, 279 00:38:41.320 --> 00:38:45.000 you know, let me recognize my problems have been solved? 280 00:38:45.239 --> 00:38:50.039 Is I really I need do nothing? And acceptance of 281 00:38:50.119 --> 00:38:55.719 what has already been done? Now, these are the words. 282 00:38:56.159 --> 00:39:01.360 You hear the words, and it is within your ability 283 00:39:02.159 --> 00:39:07.639 to accept and let it be so. But it's always 284 00:39:07.679 --> 00:39:10.159 a matter of forgetting. Yeah, I forget. I want to 285 00:39:10.239 --> 00:39:12.960 pull in my own memory. No, let it be so, 286 00:39:13.079 --> 00:39:17.239 Let it be so? All right, So nothing employed for 287 00:39:17.320 --> 00:39:20.679 healing represents an effort to do anything at all. It 288 00:39:20.760 --> 00:39:24.280 is a recognition that you have no needs, which means 289 00:39:24.320 --> 00:39:31.159 that something must be done. It is an unselected memory 290 00:39:32.280 --> 00:39:38.800 that is not used to interfere with truth. All things 291 00:39:38.920 --> 00:39:42.960 the Holy Spirit can employ for healing has been given 292 00:39:43.079 --> 00:39:48.119 him without the content and the purpose for which they 293 00:39:48.159 --> 00:39:53.159 have been made. They are but skills without an application. 294 00:39:54.079 --> 00:40:02.639 They await their use. They have no dedication and no aim. 295 00:40:02.760 --> 00:40:07.760 I really, personally, I really love this idea because as 296 00:40:07.960 --> 00:40:10.440 Jubi said in one of her classes, and I I 297 00:40:10.559 --> 00:40:14.000 quote you because I it is true. Let yourself be 298 00:40:14.079 --> 00:40:18.239 your own experiment, Let yourself be your own project. Okay, 299 00:40:18.599 --> 00:40:23.480 what if I really walked around all day and allowed 300 00:40:23.519 --> 00:40:28.119 for an unselected memory allowing this to just be my past. 301 00:40:28.639 --> 00:40:31.039 So I just kind of loosen it and allow it 302 00:40:31.079 --> 00:40:33.360 to be my past. So I then I am I 303 00:40:33.440 --> 00:40:36.480 am in in And let's say, an a a high 304 00:40:36.519 --> 00:40:43.280 anticipation for something else not of my own making. But 305 00:40:44.079 --> 00:40:48.400 it is you know what is on? Uh, what I'm 306 00:40:48.440 --> 00:40:52.559 being offered here is not only can I do it, 307 00:40:52.920 --> 00:40:56.559 but it is something I want to do. And see 308 00:40:56.599 --> 00:41:01.719 the key is in your hand, you know, I I 309 00:41:02.159 --> 00:41:04.880 I always look at all stuff people are doing from 310 00:41:05.039 --> 00:41:07.320 all the time. There is nothing being said here that 311 00:41:07.400 --> 00:41:12.760 has not been said forever, and in many ways and 312 00:41:12.840 --> 00:41:18.800 in different whatevers. And we forget that this has already 313 00:41:18.840 --> 00:41:21.840 been said in an inn in a gazillion different ways. 314 00:41:23.480 --> 00:41:27.639 That's okay. We say it over and over again because 315 00:41:28.480 --> 00:41:31.039 we need to hear it. We need to hear it 316 00:41:31.159 --> 00:41:34.920 in the e in the sense that we let it 317 00:41:34.960 --> 00:41:40.480 be so for us in all of our doings and 318 00:41:40.639 --> 00:41:46.320 all of our undertakings, and and every moment that I 319 00:41:46.360 --> 00:41:50.599 am here, this can only be my purpose. It is 320 00:41:50.639 --> 00:41:55.119 my only order of business. And so y you know, 321 00:41:55.280 --> 00:41:58.639 we've given all the tools, we're given the means, we're 322 00:41:58.679 --> 00:42:03.679 given everything. All we have to do is let it be, 323 00:42:04.000 --> 00:42:09.280 to use it, to accept and let it be. Okay. 324 00:42:09.320 --> 00:42:10.880 I know I s keep coming back on it, and 325 00:42:10.880 --> 00:42:14.039 I keep pounding it, but it's I do it for myself, 326 00:42:16.519 --> 00:42:22.440 all right. The Holy Spirit can indeed make use of memory, 327 00:42:22.639 --> 00:42:27.000 for God himself is there. Yet this is not a 328 00:42:27.079 --> 00:42:31.800 memory of past events, but only of a present state. 329 00:42:34.000 --> 00:42:37.599 You are so long accustomed to believing that memory holds 330 00:42:37.599 --> 00:42:40.760 only what is past, that it is hard for you 331 00:42:40.840 --> 00:42:44.599 to realize that it is a skill that can remember. 332 00:42:45.320 --> 00:42:45.559 Now. 333 00:42:47.400 --> 00:42:52.000 The limitations on remembering the world imposes on it are 334 00:42:52.039 --> 00:42:56.119 as vast as those you let the world impose on you. 335 00:42:58.840 --> 00:43:03.199 There is no link of memory to the past. If 336 00:43:03.199 --> 00:43:07.960 you would have it there, then there it is. But 337 00:43:08.159 --> 00:43:12.800 only your desire made the link, and only you have 338 00:43:13.039 --> 00:43:16.719 held it to a part of time where guilt appears 339 00:43:17.280 --> 00:43:22.880 to linger still. The Holy Spirit use of memory is 340 00:43:23.000 --> 00:43:28.159 quite apart from time. He does not seek to use 341 00:43:28.239 --> 00:43:31.960 it as a means to keep the past, but rather 342 00:43:32.079 --> 00:43:36.119 as a way to let it go. Memory holds the 343 00:43:36.159 --> 00:43:39.960 message it receives and does what it is given it 344 00:43:40.000 --> 00:43:45.159 to do. It does not write the message nor appoint 345 00:43:45.199 --> 00:43:48.920 what it is for. Like to the body, it is 346 00:43:49.039 --> 00:43:55.679 purposeless within itself. And if it seems to serve to 347 00:43:55.840 --> 00:44:01.880 cherish ancient hate and gives you picture of injustices and 348 00:44:02.039 --> 00:44:07.360 hurts that you were saving, then this is what you 349 00:44:08.360 --> 00:44:14.639 asked its message be, and that it is committed to 350 00:44:14.679 --> 00:44:20.679 its faults. The history of the body's past is hidden there. 351 00:44:22.719 --> 00:44:26.199 All of the strange associations made to keep the past 352 00:44:26.239 --> 00:44:32.599 alive the present dad are stored within it, waiting your command. 353 00:44:33.280 --> 00:44:37.480 That they'd be brought to you and lived again. And 354 00:44:37.519 --> 00:44:41.239 thus do their effects appear to be increased by time 355 00:44:42.119 --> 00:44:46.400 which took away their cause? Wow, that is a dilemma. 356 00:44:46.920 --> 00:44:50.880 The effects seem to be increased in time, but the 357 00:44:50.920 --> 00:44:52.760 cause is no longer there, so there's nothing you can 358 00:44:52.800 --> 00:44:58.360 do about it. Wow, No talk about hell. That's hell. 359 00:45:00.840 --> 00:45:03.800 Yet time is but another phase of what does nothing. 360 00:45:05.239 --> 00:45:08.119 It works hand in hand with all the other attributes 361 00:45:08.559 --> 00:45:12.039 with which you seek to keep concealed the truth about yourself. 362 00:45:13.079 --> 00:45:19.039 Time neither takes away nor can restore, and yet you 363 00:45:19.119 --> 00:45:22.280 make strange use of it, as if the past has 364 00:45:22.440 --> 00:45:26.360 caused the present, which is but a consequence in which 365 00:45:26.480 --> 00:45:31.079 no change can be made possible because its cause has gone. 366 00:45:32.760 --> 00:45:38.360 Yet change must have a cause that will endure, or 367 00:45:38.440 --> 00:45:43.440 else it will not last. No change can be made 368 00:45:43.519 --> 00:45:49.599 in the present if its cause is pasted. Only the 369 00:45:49.639 --> 00:45:53.039 past is held in memory as you make use of it. 370 00:45:53.719 --> 00:45:56.679 And so it is a way to hold the past 371 00:45:57.000 --> 00:46:06.679 against them. Now. Wow, here it is remember nothing that 372 00:46:06.719 --> 00:46:11.480 you have taught yourself, for you were badly taught. And 373 00:46:11.519 --> 00:46:15.000 who would keep a senseless lesson in his mind when 374 00:46:15.039 --> 00:46:20.199 he can learn and preserve a better one, When ancient 375 00:46:20.280 --> 00:46:25.159 memories of hate appear. Remember that their cause is gone, 376 00:46:25.440 --> 00:46:30.079 and so you cannot understand what they are. For Let 377 00:46:30.199 --> 00:46:33.360 not the cause that you would give them now be 378 00:46:33.599 --> 00:46:37.519 what it was, made them what they were or seemed 379 00:46:37.559 --> 00:46:42.599 to be. Be glad that it is gone, for this 380 00:46:42.679 --> 00:46:46.719 is what you would be pardoned from. And see instead 381 00:46:47.800 --> 00:46:54.920 the new effects of cause accepted now with consequences here 382 00:46:56.719 --> 00:47:01.800 they will surprise you with their loveliness. The ancient new 383 00:47:01.880 --> 00:47:08.039 ideas they bring will be the happy consequences of a 384 00:47:08.199 --> 00:47:12.800 cause with a capital CE, so ancient that it far 385 00:47:12.920 --> 00:47:19.480 exees the span of memory which your perception sees. This 386 00:47:19.679 --> 00:47:23.119 is the cause the Holy Spirit has remembered for you 387 00:47:23.639 --> 00:47:28.440 when you would forget. It is not passed because he'd 388 00:47:28.559 --> 00:47:33.639 let it not be unremembered. It has never changed because 389 00:47:33.679 --> 00:47:36.320 there never was a time in which he did not 390 00:47:36.519 --> 00:47:41.199 keep it safely in your mind. Its consequences will indeed 391 00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:47.039 seem new, because you thought that you remembered not their cause. 392 00:47:48.360 --> 00:47:52.920 Yet it was never absent from your mind, for it 393 00:47:53.000 --> 00:47:57.960 is not your father's will that he be unremembered by 394 00:47:58.079 --> 00:48:07.280 his son. One more sentence, what you remember never was kay, 395 00:48:07.400 --> 00:48:13.880 So let me go back to our lesson now, and 396 00:48:13.880 --> 00:48:22.280 this is how we're going to spend our day. Assure 397 00:48:22.320 --> 00:48:28.639 yourself often today that your problems have been solved. Repeat 398 00:48:28.679 --> 00:48:34.239 the idea with deep conviction as frequently as possible, and 399 00:48:34.320 --> 00:48:38.199 be particularly sure to apply the idea for today to 400 00:48:38.360 --> 00:48:44.119 any specific problem that may arise. Say quickly, let me 401 00:48:44.239 --> 00:48:49.559
