WEBVTT 1 00:00:34.520 --> 00:00:38.600 At a. 2 00:01:34.599 --> 00:01:39.120 Good morning everyone. I want to welcome you once again 3 00:01:39.879 --> 00:01:42.519 to our lesson of the day of the workbook of 4 00:01:42.519 --> 00:01:47.400 a Course of Miracles. And today, I'm going to say 5 00:01:47.480 --> 00:01:49.680 is a special day because it is a special day. 6 00:01:49.680 --> 00:01:53.439 It is the only day that we have. And we 7 00:01:53.560 --> 00:01:57.920 forget that because we try to sequence ourselves with a beginning, middle, 8 00:01:57.959 --> 00:02:02.519 and an end, and so everything becames a timely idea. 9 00:02:02.680 --> 00:02:08.120 But we are here now, and so since we are 10 00:02:09.080 --> 00:02:16.560 here now, and this is the only time we have, 11 00:02:18.199 --> 00:02:23.159 if there is going to be any change of your mind, 12 00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:31.400 it really could only happen now today. So uh, we 13 00:02:31.520 --> 00:02:36.039 have uh, some very special guests from Argentina, and I 14 00:02:36.039 --> 00:02:38.639 want to welcome all of you, and and we have 15 00:02:38.879 --> 00:02:44.080 our angel Ariel and her mom Erica and her brother 16 00:02:44.479 --> 00:02:49.080 here as well, Michael, right, and so I'm just so 17 00:02:49.159 --> 00:02:55.919 happy that everybody are h everybody is here.

So before we begin 32 00:06:13.560 --> 00:06:17.399 today's lesson, I just want to review a little bit 33 00:06:18.319 --> 00:06:19.920 of yesterday's lesson. 34 00:06:20.639 --> 00:06:22.319 And uh. 35 00:06:24.079 --> 00:06:29.160 My experience with these twenty lessons, the ones that began 36 00:06:29.319 --> 00:06:31.319 with L less than one eighty one. Well, in fact, 37 00:06:31.399 --> 00:06:35.079 it is all the lessons, but this sequence is this 38 00:06:35.160 --> 00:06:42.040 twenty lesson sequence, the last of our formal lessons. They 39 00:06:42.079 --> 00:06:45.199 all blend as one. It's it's it's really you can 40 00:06:45.279 --> 00:06:47.120 you can't say this is this lesson and that is 41 00:06:47.199 --> 00:06:49.800 that lesson. I mean this is true of all of 'em, 42 00:06:49.800 --> 00:06:54.279 because it is finally one lesson. But these lessons, they 43 00:06:54.439 --> 00:07:05.839 just are a a ongoing, uh, expression of this whole 44 00:07:05.959 --> 00:07:10.040 transformative process. And we call it a process, but it 45 00:07:10.120 --> 00:07:13.240 is a you know, this transformation that is occurring in us. 46 00:07:14.399 --> 00:07:21.759 And yesterday's lesson is a declaration of your identity, which 47 00:07:21.759 --> 00:07:25.720 it was and is I am the Holy Son of 48 00:07:25.759 --> 00:07:29.240 God himself. And while I didn't have the opportunity to 49 00:07:29.279 --> 00:07:33.639 tune in, I'm sure that Jubi did an awesome, awesome job, 50 00:07:33.839 --> 00:07:39.480 and Devavon is confirming that. So so, but it is true, 51 00:07:39.800 --> 00:07:47.720 and you are the Holy Son of God himself. And 52 00:07:48.120 --> 00:07:52.399 in this lesson you know there is such the description 53 00:07:52.519 --> 00:07:58.360 of your world as deny your own identity. And this 54 00:07:58.439 --> 00:08:02.079 is what you get. Deny your own identity. And you 55 00:08:02.120 --> 00:08:06.439 know what do you see? Sickness? Pain does suffering deny 56 00:08:06.519 --> 00:08:13.360 your identity? So you begin to see that denial is 57 00:08:13.399 --> 00:08:22.160 then very idea. The denial of your own identity is 58 00:08:22.199 --> 00:08:27.079 the very uh substance of what appears to be this world. 59 00:08:27.199 --> 00:08:30.040 I'm it's not really a substance, because we actually know 60 00:08:30.199 --> 00:08:34.679 that it doesn't exist at all. Okay, when we say 61 00:08:34.720 --> 00:08:39.960 we know this, you may a uh accept that conceptually, 62 00:08:40.000 --> 00:08:44.799 you might accept that as a nice, pretty idea. But 63 00:08:45.799 --> 00:08:50.919 what we h do here and what we express here 64 00:08:51.960 --> 00:09:03.879 is our own individual knowingness of the fact that I 65 00:09:03.919 --> 00:09:09.720 am the Holy Son of God himself and that the 66 00:09:09.759 --> 00:09:17.279 world I see, the world you see, has nothing to 67 00:09:17.360 --> 00:09:23.159 do with reality. It is of your own making, and 68 00:09:23.279 --> 00:09:31.000 it literally does not exist. That's a fact. That's the 69 00:09:31.039 --> 00:09:38.000 fact that as we do these lessons, you actually take 70 00:09:38.159 --> 00:09:42.840 that fact and assume it in its entirety. You put 71 00:09:42.879 --> 00:09:49.919 it on, you wear it. That is your foundation. Everything 72 00:09:50.360 --> 00:09:55.919 proceeds from that foundation. I am the Holy Son of 73 00:09:55.919 --> 00:10:03.279 God himself. All power, earth and heaven is given unto you. 74 00:10:04.320 --> 00:10:10.399 All right, this is where we start. That is not 75 00:10:10.840 --> 00:10:20.159 open to any discussion, is not open to equivocation whatsoever. Okay, 76 00:10:20.360 --> 00:10:25.799 So this is what you can completely depend on. You 77 00:10:25.879 --> 00:10:34.399 can depend on your identity in God. So I am 78 00:10:34.440 --> 00:10:39.080 the Holy Son of God himself. And now today's lesson 79 00:10:40.879 --> 00:10:45.440 is because I say, because as though we could separate 80 00:10:45.480 --> 00:10:52.279 the cause and effect, which we cannot, but as the 81 00:10:52.360 --> 00:10:57.360 statement of fact that you are the Holy Son of 82 00:10:57.399 --> 00:11:03.279 God himself, which actually has nothing whatsoever to do with 83 00:11:03.399 --> 00:11:10.200 what you think about yourself. Nothing. And see this is 84 00:11:12.559 --> 00:11:19.159 where you perhaps may stumble, but you need not do so, 85 00:11:20.480 --> 00:11:25.440 because you pick it up and you put it on 86 00:11:25.679 --> 00:11:27.919 as though it's a the f it's a fact of 87 00:11:27.960 --> 00:11:30.360 the matter. But it is not a fact at all. 88 00:11:31.200 --> 00:11:38.120 Your identity is as God created you. I am the 89 00:11:38.159 --> 00:11:44.840 Holy Son of God himself. Let that be so. So 90 00:11:45.120 --> 00:11:50.600 being so you have a function. God would have you feel. 91 00:11:51.600 --> 00:11:58.120 I have a function. God would have me feel you. You, 92 00:11:58.559 --> 00:12:03.039 not somebody else. You you know, cause it's ee, it's 93 00:12:03.039 --> 00:12:05.639 it's easy to just think, oh that we just are. 94 00:12:07.360 --> 00:12:10.440 These are just pretty ideas and we can pick 'em 95 00:12:10.519 --> 00:12:12.240 up when we want to and lay 'em aside when 96 00:12:12.240 --> 00:12:17.399 we want to. No, you have been I don't know 97 00:12:17.440 --> 00:12:19.440 the w. I can't find the word that I'm looking for, 98 00:12:19.559 --> 00:12:22.399 but you know it is it. You have been given 99 00:12:22.480 --> 00:12:28.840 this ordained, You've been ordained. This is your function. You 100 00:12:29.039 --> 00:12:34.240 have nothing to say about it. Oh, all issues, all 101 00:12:34.480 --> 00:12:38.120 problems is that you think you have something to say 102 00:12:38.159 --> 00:12:38.879 about it. 103 00:12:40.360 --> 00:12:40.919 You don't. 104 00:12:42.279 --> 00:12:50.840 That's effect of it. Alright. So but your function is 105 00:12:51.240 --> 00:12:56.080 and you this is where this uh joy I I 106 00:12:55.720 --> 00:12:58.759 I it's it's a joy. But you begin to associate 107 00:12:58.960 --> 00:13:03.759 your function with your peace and your happiness and your 108 00:13:03.879 --> 00:13:11.720 joy because it is because your stop, you cease to 109 00:13:11.759 --> 00:13:17.080 fight against yourself. So all conflict is literally just this 110 00:13:17.360 --> 00:13:25.279 fight against yourself. Period. Okay, So this is the groundwork. 111 00:13:26.799 --> 00:13:29.200 So I have a function. God would have me feeled. 112 00:13:31.039 --> 00:13:37.279 It is your father's holy will that you complete himself 113 00:13:38.440 --> 00:13:43.960 and that your self and this is capitalized. Shall be 114 00:13:44.120 --> 00:13:51.879 His sacred son, forever pure as He of love, created 115 00:13:52.360 --> 00:13:57.559 and in love preserved, extending love, creating in its name 116 00:13:58.320 --> 00:14:07.960 for everyone, with God and with yourself. Wow, Yet, what 117 00:14:08.000 --> 00:14:12.120 can such a function mean within a world of envy, 118 00:14:12.720 --> 00:14:18.679 hatred and attack. This is incredible because this is literally 119 00:14:19.440 --> 00:14:24.320 the fulfilling your function is literally the bridge to what 120 00:14:24.399 --> 00:14:32.360 you have assumed as true and what is actually true. 121 00:14:32.879 --> 00:14:39.200 The only way that you can come to know yourself 122 00:14:40.559 --> 00:14:47.159 is by being yourself, and that is giving you in 123 00:14:47.240 --> 00:14:52.559 the fulfilling of your function. And he very specifically, see 124 00:14:52.600 --> 00:14:55.440 there's some place in the text where he says, you 125 00:14:55.519 --> 00:14:59.960 say that you haven't that the course is not specific enough. 126 00:15:00.320 --> 00:15:03.799 Yet you've been told specifically what to do. You have 127 00:15:03.919 --> 00:15:08.159 been told specifically what to do. We are you are? 128 00:15:08.440 --> 00:15:08.799 I am? 129 00:15:08.919 --> 00:15:14.720 We are being told specifically in this lesson what to do. 130 00:15:15.279 --> 00:15:18.720 The question is not that. The question is are you 131 00:15:18.919 --> 00:15:29.360 specifically doing it? That's really the question. Okay, So let's 132 00:15:29.399 --> 00:15:31.879 just read the paragraph again and then we'll move on. 133 00:15:32.360 --> 00:15:35.200 It is your father's holy will that you complete himself, 134 00:15:35.639 --> 00:15:39.679 and that yourself shall be His sacred son, forever pure, 135 00:15:39.799 --> 00:15:44.799 as He of love, created and in love preserved, extending love. 136 00:15:45.320 --> 00:15:49.639 Creating in its name forever with God and with yourself. 137 00:15:50.639 --> 00:15:54.120 Yet what can such a function mean within a world 138 00:15:54.279 --> 00:15:59.840 of envy, hatred and attack. Therefore, you have a function 139 00:16:00.080 --> 00:16:05.200 in the world in its own terms. For who can 140 00:16:05.320 --> 00:16:13.200 understand a language far beyond his simple grasp. Forgiveness represents 141 00:16:13.399 --> 00:16:22.360 your function here. Forgiveness represents your function here. It is 142 00:16:22.440 --> 00:16:27.000 not God's creation, for it is the means by which 143 00:16:27.919 --> 00:16:33.399 untruth can be undone. So really, what he's saying is 144 00:16:33.440 --> 00:16:39.159 there's forgiveness is not true either, really, because you cannot 145 00:16:39.360 --> 00:16:46.879 change reality, and so you have been given something that 146 00:16:47.639 --> 00:16:52.440 is used, that can be translated into the language that 147 00:16:52.519 --> 00:17:00.919 you know, right, that is forgiveness. Forgiveness represent your function here. 148 00:17:01.120 --> 00:17:08.799 That's an that's amazing where the untruth can be undone. 149 00:17:09.119 --> 00:17:15.880 This isn't amazing because nowhere, nowhere, and of course in miracles, 150 00:17:16.920 --> 00:17:25.039 is your condition validated or acknowledged as real in any 151 00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:35.680 way anyway. And yet you are allowed, uh the idea 152 00:17:35.799 --> 00:17:40.000 that it seems to have occurred. Okay, very well, this 153 00:17:40.160 --> 00:17:47.559 seems to have occurred. Now you are given the means 154 00:17:48.880 --> 00:17:57.559 to let that erroneous idea be undone. In your mind, 155 00:17:59.160 --> 00:18:09.519 Forgiveness represents your function here alright, let's carry on. Why 156 00:18:10.079 --> 00:18:15.880 who could pardon heaven? Yet on earth you need the 157 00:18:15.920 --> 00:18:21.240 means to let illusions go. Creation merely waits for your 158 00:18:21.279 --> 00:18:29.519 return to be acknowledged, not to be complete. Creation merely 159 00:18:29.599 --> 00:18:36.599 waits for your return to be acknowledged, not to be complete. Wow, 160 00:18:37.319 --> 00:18:43.480 Creation cannot even be conceived of in this world. It 161 00:18:43.559 --> 00:18:50.079 has no meaning here. Forgiveness is the closest it can 162 00:18:50.119 --> 00:18:55.839 come to earth, For being heaven born, it has no 163 00:18:56.079 --> 00:19:03.880 form at all. Yet God created one who has the 164 00:19:04.039 --> 00:19:11.119 power to translate in form the holy formless. What he 165 00:19:11.319 --> 00:19:18.160 makes are dreams, but of a kind so close to 166 00:19:18.279 --> 00:19:24.119 waking that the light of day already shines in them, 167 00:19:24.160 --> 00:19:33.160 and eyes already opening behold the joyful sights their offerings contain. 168 00:19:34.920 --> 00:19:43.640 Forgiveness gently looks upon all things unknown in heaven, sees 169 00:19:43.799 --> 00:19:50.880 them disappear, and leaves the world a clean and unmarked 170 00:19:50.880 --> 00:19:55.480 slate on which the Word of God can now replace 171 00:19:56.039 --> 00:20:04.839 the senseless symbols written there before forgiveness. Forgiveness is nothing 172 00:20:05.039 --> 00:20:12.680 more than letting go of your own investment in your 173 00:20:13.240 --> 00:20:22.559 untrue ideas. Their ideas, but they have no substance in truth. 174 00:20:23.880 --> 00:20:29.480 They are your ideas. You make them, so you let 175 00:20:29.519 --> 00:20:33.359 them go, and you can you m perhaps tell me, well, 176 00:20:33.400 --> 00:20:37.440 I was taught this or I was told that. Oh I. 177 00:20:37.720 --> 00:20:45.319 But you have decided to accept those ideas as what 178 00:20:45.359 --> 00:20:51.000 you believe to be your reality. You decided that there 179 00:20:51.119 --> 00:20:57.240 is no world. There is no world. You made it up. 180 00:20:57.920 --> 00:21:01.720 You made it up, and you pre dejected onto it 181 00:21:02.119 --> 00:21:08.519 exactly what you wanted it to give you back. That's 182 00:21:08.759 --> 00:21:19.279 its only seeming existence that does not change. And so 183 00:21:19.400 --> 00:21:27.000 you have full authority and full power to let it go. 184 00:21:28.680 --> 00:21:31.640 You can make it and you can let it go. 185 00:21:33.400 --> 00:21:37.359 Let's just take a break here and I'm gonna play 186 00:21:37.359 --> 00:21:46.480 a song, and I'm actually going to play into the. 187 00:21:46.480 --> 00:22:05.599 Light, all right, and come along, come child. 188 00:22:05.680 --> 00:22:06.240 Come. 189 00:22:07.799 --> 00:22:13.799 Into the love, into the. 190 00:22:13.880 --> 00:22:17.440 Love you. 191 00:22:25.000 --> 00:22:39.880 And come come child, Come into into the light.

So I'm gonna tell my translate. 207 00:25:19.240 --> 00:25:21.519 Let's pick up and read the last paragraph that we 208 00:25:21.680 --> 00:25:26.799 just read Forgiveness gently looks. Forgiveness gently looks upon all 209 00:25:26.880 --> 00:25:31.359 things unknown in heaven, sees them disappear, and leaves the 210 00:25:31.400 --> 00:25:35.640 world a clean and unmarked slate on which the word 211 00:25:35.720 --> 00:25:40.440 of God can now replace the senseless symbols written there before. 212 00:25:42.680 --> 00:25:46.799 Forgiveness is the means by which the fear of death 213 00:25:47.000 --> 00:25:53.279 is overcome, because it holds no fearce attraction now and 214 00:25:53.359 --> 00:26:01.440 guilt is gone. Forgiveness lets the body be perceived as 215 00:26:01.599 --> 00:26:08.680 what it is, a simple teaching aid to be laid 216 00:26:08.759 --> 00:26:14.519 by when learning is complete, but hardly changing him who 217 00:26:14.680 --> 00:26:20.000 learns at all. You can really begin to see here 218 00:26:20.279 --> 00:26:24.119 in this lesson that it is only investment of the 219 00:26:24.160 --> 00:26:28.680 body as yourself that actually causes you fear and is 220 00:26:29.319 --> 00:26:32.359 really what the fear of death is. And this is 221 00:26:32.400 --> 00:26:36.000 where you're actually your guilt lies because you believe you 222 00:26:36.119 --> 00:26:41.759 have usurped the power of God, that you have made 223 00:26:41.799 --> 00:26:49.240 yourself different than from what you really are. I mean, 224 00:26:49.279 --> 00:26:51.720 that might be a big leap there, but it is 225 00:26:51.759 --> 00:26:56.960 in fact that it is an investment in a limited self. 226 00:26:57.480 --> 00:27:02.200 Doesn't matter how you define that limited, it's still your investment. 227 00:27:02.240 --> 00:27:07.960 And you use the body to prove that there's your guilt. 228 00:27:08.519 --> 00:27:15.799 You have attempted to change yourself, which you cannot check, 229 00:27:15.920 --> 00:27:21.920 which you cannot do. All right, So the mind without 230 00:27:22.000 --> 00:27:29.880 the body cannot make mistakes, It cannot think, it will die, 231 00:27:30.799 --> 00:27:39.200 nor be pray of merciless attack. Anger becomes impossible, and 232 00:27:39.279 --> 00:27:45.720 wear is terror. Then what fears could still assail those 233 00:27:46.240 --> 00:27:50.400 who have lost the source of all attack, the core 234 00:27:50.559 --> 00:27:58.200 of anguish and the seat of fear. Only forgiveness can 235 00:27:58.240 --> 00:28:03.279 relieve the mind of thinking that the body is its home. 236 00:28:03.920 --> 00:28:06.720 Do you see that this is the case. Only forget 237 00:28:06.720 --> 00:28:11.160 you're literally forgiving your own idea of yourself. You're literally 238 00:28:12.480 --> 00:28:19.880 letting go, releasing this false idea of yourself as a 239 00:28:20.079 --> 00:28:28.720 body entity. Period. So only forgiveness can relieve the mind 240 00:28:29.319 --> 00:28:34.720 of thinking that the body is his home. Only forgiveness 241 00:28:34.720 --> 00:28:38.839 can restore the peace that God intended for his holy son. 242 00:28:40.279 --> 00:28:45.720 Only forgiveness can persuade the son to look again upon 243 00:28:46.000 --> 00:28:50.400 his holiness. Notice I've been stressing the one word that 244 00:28:50.480 --> 00:28:57.279 began all three sentenences. Only forgiveness can do nothing else. 245 00:28:58.160 --> 00:29:05.799 Only forgiveness. With anger gone, you will indeed perceive that 246 00:29:06.640 --> 00:29:11.279 for Christ's vision and the gift of sight, no sacrifice 247 00:29:11.519 --> 00:29:16.200 was asked, and only pain was lifted from a sick 248 00:29:16.319 --> 00:29:21.039 and tortured mind. Do you remember about uh? I don't know. 249 00:29:21.119 --> 00:29:24.480 Sixty lessons ago. Let me perceive forgiveness as it is. 250 00:29:26.839 --> 00:29:31.000 What did it really say? Do you remember that forgiveness? Right? 251 00:29:31.839 --> 00:29:37.519 You don't forgive the truth. You only forgive your own 252 00:29:37.880 --> 00:29:43.799 inventive ideas. You the f per the truth. What could 253 00:29:43.839 --> 00:29:48.039 you pardon in the truth that you're only forgiving illusions? 254 00:29:48.519 --> 00:29:52.720 But remember the nature of illusion is that it appears 255 00:29:52.799 --> 00:29:58.519 to be so, but it is not. This is you. 256 00:29:58.519 --> 00:30:03.799 You relie on the fact of it. You're not even 257 00:30:03.799 --> 00:30:09.640 trying to convince yoursel You just rely on the fact 258 00:30:10.720 --> 00:30:18.000 you are as God created you. You can never ever 259 00:30:18.759 --> 00:30:25.480 be anything else that your foundation, your basis is God. 260 00:30:26.799 --> 00:30:32.519 God is your source. God is everything, God is all 261 00:30:32.559 --> 00:30:36.400 in all. The name of God is my inheritance. I 262 00:30:36.480 --> 00:30:41.000 call upon God's name and my own You God, it 263 00:30:41.079 --> 00:30:43.160 is your fat, it is your soul, It is you. 264 00:30:44.200 --> 00:30:49.319 It is the nature of you, not as a separate entity, 265 00:30:50.200 --> 00:30:57.440 but God as you, not as a body identity, but 266 00:30:57.480 --> 00:31:05.279 the as the no that you are, all that is 267 00:31:05.799 --> 00:31:15.440 you are. There's no words, and so I keep I 268 00:31:16.039 --> 00:31:18.680 keep saying it over and I this is my tendency, 269 00:31:18.680 --> 00:31:24.079 and please forgive me, but it is it's just allowing 270 00:31:24.160 --> 00:31:29.839 yourself to wear it. You know, I almost say the 271 00:31:29.839 --> 00:31:31.880 same thing over and over again all the time. You 272 00:31:32.000 --> 00:31:35.279 literally just wear it, you assume it. It is the fact 273 00:31:36.079 --> 00:31:41.519 you don't need to oppose anything you accept because remember, 274 00:31:42.799 --> 00:31:49.519 you cannot hold reconcile contradictory thoughts in your mind. And 275 00:31:49.799 --> 00:31:54.519 you attempt to reconcile contradictory thoughts, but you can't. But 276 00:31:54.599 --> 00:32:05.400 if you let one whole thought be, it literally unravels everything. 277 00:32:07.039 --> 00:32:12.680 You are, the holy son of God himself. Forgiveness is 278 00:32:13.559 --> 00:32:19.720 the function that God would have you fell. All right, 279 00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:23.400 I have to find where I am again. Okay, so 280 00:32:23.480 --> 00:32:26.160 let's do this again. The mind without the body cannot 281 00:32:26.200 --> 00:32:30.400 make mistakes, It cannot think, it will die, nor be 282 00:32:30.559 --> 00:32:35.319 pray of merciless attacks. I backed up a little bit 283 00:32:35.400 --> 00:32:42.359 ramon anger becomes impossible. And where is terror? Then? What 284 00:32:42.559 --> 00:32:45.960 fears could still assail those who have lost the source 285 00:32:46.000 --> 00:32:49.200 of all attack, the core of anguish and the seat 286 00:32:49.240 --> 00:32:53.759 of fear. Only forgiveness can relieve the mind of thinking 287 00:32:53.799 --> 00:32:58.240 that the body is his home. Only forgiveness can restore 288 00:32:58.400 --> 00:33:03.279 the peace that God intended for his holy son. Only 289 00:33:03.480 --> 00:33:09.039 forgiveness can persuade the son to look again upon his holiness. 290 00:33:09.519 --> 00:33:15.160 With anger gone. You will indeed perceive that for Christ's 291 00:33:15.240 --> 00:33:19.599 vision and the gift of sight, no sacrifice was asked, 292 00:33:20.440 --> 00:33:26.839 and only pain was lifted from a sick and tortured mind. 293 00:33:27.759 --> 00:33:33.160 Is this unwelcome? Is it to be feared? Or is 294 00:33:33.200 --> 00:33:37.079 it to be hoped for? Met with thanks and joyous 295 00:33:37.400 --> 00:33:43.839 accept and joyously accepted, we are one, and therefore give 296 00:33:43.960 --> 00:33:51.599 up nothing. We have indeed been given everything by God. 297 00:33:52.799 --> 00:33:59.880 We have indeed been given everything by God, Yet doing 298 00:34:00.119 --> 00:34:05.000 need forgiveness to perceive that this is so? Without its 299 00:34:05.119 --> 00:34:09.679 kindly light, we grow up in darkness, using reason but 300 00:34:09.800 --> 00:34:17.840 to justify our rage and our attack. Our understanding is 301 00:34:17.960 --> 00:34:23.719 so limited that what we think we understand is but 302 00:34:24.119 --> 00:34:31.880 confusion born of error. We are lost in mists of 303 00:34:31.960 --> 00:34:37.639 shifting dreams and fearful thoughts, our eyes shut tight against 304 00:34:37.639 --> 00:34:49.440 the light, our minds engaged in worshiping what is not there. Wow, So, 305 00:34:50.519 --> 00:34:59.119 without its kindly light forgiveness, we grope in darkness, using 306 00:35:00.039 --> 00:35:06.639 eason but to justify our rage and attack. And so 307 00:35:06.719 --> 00:35:12.320 here's a thing, if it need be justified. It's not true. 308 00:35:12.880 --> 00:35:18.519 Truth is truth is true, and nothing else is true. 309 00:35:19.360 --> 00:35:25.119 And if you find yourself attempting to justify anything, it's 310 00:35:25.199 --> 00:35:39.119 not true. Period us. Okay, HM, let's just play one 311 00:35:39.159 --> 00:35:44.840 more songs. I'm gonna play this just cause I like 312 00:35:44.920 --> 00:35:45.519 it so much. 313 00:36:04.239 --> 00:36:31.840 And come rod b about a mile, I can see the. 314 00:36:31.760 --> 00:36:35.559 Sun of it coming over here. 315 00:36:36.920 --> 00:36:42.000 What a three in the distance?

He must be sure that he does not escape, 371 00:42:33.039 --> 00:42:36.679 and so he spends his time in keeping watch on him. 372 00:42:38.199 --> 00:42:42.559 The bars that limit him become the world in which 373 00:42:42.679 --> 00:42:47.039 his jailor lives along with him. And it is this, 374 00:42:47.360 --> 00:42:51.360 and it is on his freedom that the way to 375 00:42:51.559 --> 00:43:02.360 liberty depends for both of them. Free everything, free, everything 376 00:43:03.360 --> 00:43:11.360 of any definition, whatsoever. Free yourself, la. This is what 377 00:43:11.480 --> 00:43:15.599 we practice a few days ago. Forget this world, forget 378 00:43:15.719 --> 00:43:20.559 this course, and come with holy empty hands unto your God. 379 00:43:21.400 --> 00:43:26.840 Just free at all. One th idea is not harder 380 00:43:26.920 --> 00:43:35.039 to free than any other. It's all an idea. Therefore, 381 00:43:36.119 --> 00:43:41.760 hold no one prisoner, release instead of buying, and thus 382 00:43:41.840 --> 00:43:47.519 are you made free. The way is simple. The way 383 00:43:47.960 --> 00:43:54.480 is simple. Every time you feel a stab of anger, 384 00:43:55.679 --> 00:44:01.119 realize you hold a sword above your head and it 385 00:44:01.199 --> 00:44:05.400 will fall or be averted as you choose to be 386 00:44:05.599 --> 00:44:11.760 condemned or free. Thus does each one who seems to 387 00:44:11.960 --> 00:44:16.280 tempt you to be angry represent your savior from the 388 00:44:16.400 --> 00:44:20.480 prison house of death, and so you owe him thanks 389 00:44:21.320 --> 00:44:27.960 instead of pain. This is literally You know this idea 390 00:44:28.079 --> 00:44:32.320 of being awake because you must be awake. You know 391 00:44:32.440 --> 00:44:37.000 it's not that we don't make a mistake. So what 392 00:44:37.960 --> 00:44:41.079 the question is, are you gonna continue with it or 393 00:44:41.119 --> 00:44:45.079 are you going to forgive? That's really the question. And 394 00:44:45.199 --> 00:44:50.000 so sleeping is being mindless of this. Yeah, you really 395 00:44:50.079 --> 00:44:53.320 do believe things outside yourself can cause you to be 396 00:44:53.440 --> 00:44:57.440 angry and that there's something outside yourself affecting you. I mean, 397 00:44:57.519 --> 00:45:02.159 this is all of our lessons basically. So now this 398 00:45:02.440 --> 00:45:05.800 is practical, this is this is an amazing lesson and 399 00:45:05.880 --> 00:45:09.159 tomorrow's lesson as well. They're integrated. It's now, and it's here, 400 00:45:09.280 --> 00:45:15.239 and it's in your every thing, every occurrence in your 401 00:45:15.360 --> 00:45:18.000
