We continued today with chapter 11
From darkness to light
When you are weary remember you have hurt yourself your
comforter will rescue but you cannot you
do not know how or if you did you could
never have grown weary unless you hurt
yourself you could never suffer in any
way for that is not God's will for his
son pain is not of him for he knows no
attack and his piece around you tenderly
silently God is very quiet for there is
no conflict in him
conflict is a root of all evil or being
blind it does not see whom it attacks
yet it always attacks the son of god and
the Son of God is you godson is indeed
in need of comfort for he knows not what
he does
believing his will is not his own the
kingdom is his and yet he wanders
homeless at home and God he is lonely
and amid all his brothers he is
friendless with God let this be real if
he did not will to be alone himself and
if your will is his it cannot be true of
you because it is not true of him
oh my child if you knew what God wills
for you your joy would be complete and
what He wills has happened for it was
always true when the light comes and you
have said God's will is mine you will
see such beauty that you will know it is
not of you out of your joy you will
create beauty in his name for your joy
could no more be contained and his the
Bleak little world will vanish into
nothingness and your heart will be so
filled with joy
that it will leap into heaven and into
the presence of god I cannot tell you
what this will be like for your heart is
not ready yet i can tell you and remind
you often that what God wills for
himself he wills for you and what He
wills for you is yours
the way is not hard but it is very
different
yours is the way of pain of which God
knows nothing that way is hard indeed
and very lonely fear and grief for your
guests and they go with you and abide
with you on the way but the dark journey
is not the way of God son walking light
and do not see the dark companions for
they are not fit companions for the Son
of God who was created of light and in
light the great light always surround
you and shines out from you
how can you see the dark companions in a
light such as this
if you see them it is only because you
are denying the light but denied them
instead for the light is here and the
way is clear
God hides nothing from his son even
though his son would hide himself yet
the Son of God cannot hide his glory for
God wills him to be glorious and gave
him the light that shines in him you
will never lose your way for God leads
you when you wander you would undertake
a journey that is not real
the dark companions the dark way are all
illusions turned toward the light for
the little sparking you is part of a
light so great that it can sweep you out
of darkness forever for your father is
your Creator and you are like him
the children of light cannot abide in
darkness for darkness is not them in
them do not be deceived by the dark
comforters and never let them enter the
mind of God son but they have no place
in his temple when you are tempted to
deny him remember that there are no
other gods to place before him and
accept his will for you in peace for you
cannot accept it otherwise only God's
comforter can comfort you in the quiet
of his temple he waits to give you the
peace that is yours give his piece that
you may enter the temple and find it
waiting for you but be holy in the
presence of God or you will not know
that you are there for what is unlike
God cannot enter his mind because it was
not his thought and therefore does not
belong to him and your mind must be as
pure as his if you would know what
belongs to you
guard carefully his temple for he
himself dwells there and abides in peace
you cannot enter God's presence with the
dark companions beside you but you also
cannot enter alone all your brothers
must enter with you for until you have
accepted them you cannot enter for you
cannot understand homeless unless you
are whole and no part of the Sun can be
excluded if he would know the wholeness
of his father in your mind you can
accept the whole sonship and bless it
with light your father gave it then
you'll be worthy to dwell in the temple
with him because it is your will not to
be alone
god bless his son forever if you will
bless him in time you will be an
eternity time cannot separate you from
God if you use it on behalf of the
eternal.
And from the workbook lesson 80

problems you will recognize that you
have no problems you're one central
problem has been answered and you have
no other therefore you must be a piece

conflict has been given you accept that
fact and you are ready to take your
rightful place in God's plan for

give you God's answer you have laid
aside deception and seen the light of
truth you have accepted salvation for
yourself by bringing the problem to the
answer and you can recognize the answer

problem that has been resolved cannot
trouble you only be certain you do not
forget that all problems are the same
there many forms will not deceive you
while you remember this one problem on
solution except the piece this simple
statement brings in our longer practice
periods today we will claim the piece
that must be ours when the problem and
the answer had been brought together the
problem must be gone because God's
answer cannot fail

recognized the other the solution is
inherent in the problem you are answered
and have accepted the answer you are
saved

springs be giving you close your eyes
and receive your reward recognize that
your problems have been solved recognize
that you are out of conflict free and at
peace above all remember that you have
one problem and that the problem has one
solution it is in this at the simplicity
of salvation lies

guaranteed to work assure yourself often
today that your problems have been
solved

frequently as possible and be
particularly sure to apply the idea for
today to any specific problem that may
arise they quickly let me recognize this
problem has been solved

grievances today let us be determined to
be free of problems that do not exist
the means is simple honesty do not
deceive yourself about what the problem
is and you must recognize it has been
solved

Today we make the turn from darkness to light.
The text reminds us that there is no suffering or pain that is part of God's will for us.
God knows no attack. God's peace surrounds us silently. God is very quiet.
We are entitled to miracles, to the Kingdom of Heaven, to complete joy and happiness.
The light has come.
Today we see the lights beauty all around us in us as us.
Jesus tells us in the text:
Out of your joy you will create beauty in His Name,
for your joy could no more be contained than His.
The light is who we are,
the dark thoughts of the ego cannot enter.
The great light always surrounds us and shines out from us.
We have no need of dark thoughts, dark companions today .
The dark companions, the dark way are all illusions.
Turn toward the light,
for the little spark in you is part of a light so great that it can sweep you out of all darkness forever.
The children of light cannot abide in darkness for darkness is not in them.
Today we remember there are no other gods to place before God.
Today I accept His will for me, in peace.
Today I remember that all my problems have been solved.
There was only one problem, to believe in separation,
and this has one solution, the atonement;
salvation is accomplished,
freedom from all conflict has been given.
Today I accept this fact and take my rightful place in God's plan for salvation.
Absolutely amazing.
My only problem has already been solved.
I am entitled to peace, I accept the correction.
My problems have already been solved.
Let me recognize my problems have been solved.
Amen.
