we continue on today with chapter seven
state of grace the Holy Spirit will
always guide you truly because your joy
is his this is his will for everyone
because he speaks for the kingdom of God
which is joy following him is therefore
the easiest thing in the world and the
only thing that is easy because it is
not of the world it is therefore natural
the world goes against your nature being
out of the chord with God's laws the
world perceives orders of difficulty and
everything
this is because the ego perceives
nothing as Holy desirable by
demonstrating to yourself there is no
order of difficulty in miracles
you will convince yourself that in your
natural state there is no difficulty at
all because it is this state of grace
grace is the natural state of every son
of god and he is not in a state of grace
he is out of his natural environment and
does not function well everything he
does becomes a strain because he was not
created for the environment that he has
made he therefore cannot adapt to it nor
can he adapted to him there is no point
in trying a son of God is happy only
when he knows he is with God that is the
only environment in which you will not
experience strain because that is where
he belongs
it is also the only environment that is
worthy of him because his own worth is
beyond anything he can make consider the
kingdom you have made and judges worth
fairly is it worthy to be a home for a
child of God does it protect his peace
and shine love upon him does it keep his
heart untouched by fear and allow him to
give always without any sense of loss
has a teach him that this giving is his
joy
that God Himself thanks him for his
giving that is the only environment
which you can be happy
you cannot make it any more than you can
make yourself
it has been created for you as you were
created for it
God watches over his creation children
and denies them nothing yet when they
deny him they do not know this because
they deny themselves everything you who
could give the love of God to everything
you see and touch and remember are
literally denying heaven to yourself I
call upon you to remember that I have
chosen you to teach the kingdom to the
kingdom there are no exceptions to this
lesson because the lack of exceptions is
the lesson every son of god who returns
to the kingdom with this lesson in his
heart has healed the sonship and given
thanks to god everyone who loves this
lesson has become the perfect teacher
because he has landed of the Holy Spirit
when a mind has only light knows only
light its own radiance shines all around
it and extends out into the darkness of
other minds transforming them into
Majesty the majesty of God is there for
you to recognize and appreciate and no
recognizing the majesty of God as your
brother is to accept your own
inheritance God gives only equally if
you recognize his gift in anyone you
have acknowledged what He has given you
nothing is so easy to recognize as truth
this is the recognition that is
immediate clear and natural you have
trained yourself not to recognize it and
this has been very difficult for you
out of your natural environment you may
well ask what is truth since truth is
the environment by which and for you
were created you do not know yourself
because you do not know your Creator you
do not know your creations because you
do not know your brothers who created
them with you I have already said that
only the whole sonship is worthy to be
co-creator with Khan because only the
whole sonship can create like him
whenever you heal a brother by
recognizing his worth
you are acknowledging his power to
create and yours
he cannot have lost what you recognize
and you must have the glory you see in
him he is co-creator with God with you
deny his creative power and you are
denying yours and that of God who
created you
you cannot deny part of truth you do not
know your creations because you do not
know their creator
you do not know yourself because you do
not know yours your creations cannot
establish your reality anymore than you
can establish God's but you can know
both being is known by sharing because
God shared his being with you you can
know him but you must also know all he
created to know what they have shared
without your father you will not know
your father hood the kingdom of God
includes all his sons and their children
who are like the thought sons as they
are like the father know then the sons
of God and you will know all creation
and from the workbook lesson 55 today's
review includes the following i am
determined to see things differently but
I see now about signs of disease disc
disaster and death
this cannot be what God created for his
beloved some very fact that i see such
things as proof that i do not understand
God therefore i also do not understand
his son what I see tells me that i do
not know who i am i am determined to see
the witnesses to the truth and me rather
than those which show me an illusion of
myself what I see is a form of vengeance
the world i see is hardly the
representation of loving thoughts is a
picture of attack on everything by
everything it is anything but a
reflection of the love of God and the
love of his son is my own attack
thoughts that give rise to this picture
my loving thoughts will save me from
this perception of the world and give me
the peace god intended me to have I can
escape from the world by giving out
protect thoughts herein lies salvation
and nowhere else without attack thoughts
i could not see a world of attack as
forgiveness allows love to return to my
awareness i will see a world of peace
and safety and joy and it is this i
choose to see in place of what I look on
now I do not perceive my own best
interest
how could I recognize my own best
interest when I do not know who I am
what I think are my best interest would
merely bind me closer to the world of
illusions i'm willing to follow the
guide God has given me to find out what
my own best interests are recognizing
that I cannot perceive them by myself i
do not know what anything is for to me
the purpose of everything is to prove
that my illusions about myself for real
it is for this purpose that I attempt to
use everyone and everything
it is for this that i believe the world
is for therefore I do not recognize its
real purpose the purpose i have given
the world has led to a frightening
picture of it let me open my mind to the
world's real purpose by withdrawing the
1i have given it and learning the truth
about it
So today, we open ourselves to vision once again.
Beginning off with I am determined to see things differently.
The world of fragmented perceptions,
of individual unique sights and sounds,
is not my home, is not my destiny.
I sink inward in silence today,
closing my eyes, reviewing these thoughts,
letting go...
letting God take me now.
I have creations that I created with God
as co-creator.
These creations are spirit.
I cannot know the spirit,
until I forgive all that was made by the ego.
The ego was a substitute for God,
made to take the place of God,
made to take the place of my identity as the Christ.
Today I let go all ego thoughts,
all attack thoughts.
I sink very deep in stillness
I let go of the thoughts of the past,
thoughts of the future,
thoughts of ambition,
thoughts of concern,
thoughts of worry,
and sink into the kingdom of heaven.
Amen
