today we continue with chapter 6 the
relinquishment of attack as we have
already emphasized every idea begins in
the mind of the thinker
therefore what extends from the mind is
still in it and from what it extends it
knows itself the word knows is correct
here because the Holy Spirit still holds
knowledge safe in your mind through his
impartial perception by attacking
nothing he presents no barrier to the
communication of God therefore being is
never threatened your godlike mind can
never be defiled the ego never was and
never will be part of it but through the
ego you can hear and teach and learn
what is not true you have taught
yourself to believe that you are not
what you are you cannot teach what you
have not learned and what you teach you
strengthen in yourself because you are
sharing it every lesson you teach you
are learning that is why you must teach
only one lesson if you are to be
conflict-free yourself you must learn
only from the Holy Spirit and teach only
by him
you are only loved but when you deny
this you make what you are something you
must learn to remember I said before
that the message of the crucifixion was
teach only love for that is what you are
this is the one lesson that is perfectly
unified because is the only lesson that
is one call me by teaching it can you
learn it as you teach so will you learn
it that is true and it is true indeed do
not forget that what you teach is
teaching you
and what you project or extend you
believe the only safety lies in
extending the Holy Spirit because as you
see his gentleness in others your own
mind perceives itself as totally
harmless once it can accept this fully
it sees no need to protect itself the
protection of God then dawns upon it
assuring it that it is perfectly safe
forever the perfectly safe are wholly
benign they bless because they know that
they are blessed without anxiety the
mind is wholly kind and because it
extends beneficence it is beneficent
safety is the complete relinquishment of
attack no compromise is possible in this
teach attack in any form and you have
learned it and it will hurt you if this
learning is not immortal and you can
unlearn it by not teaching it since you
cannot not teach your salvation lies in
teaching the exact opposite of
everything the ego believes this is how
you will learn the truth that will set
you free and keep you free as others
learn of you the only way to have peace
is to teach peace by teaching peace you
must learn it yourself because you
cannot teach what you still dissociate
only thus can you win back the knowledge
that you threw away an idea that you
share you must have it awakens in your
mind through the conviction of teaching
it everything you teach you are learning
teach only love and learn that love is
yours and you are loved
and from the workbook less than 39 my
holiness is my salvation
if guilt is hell
what is its opposite like the text for
which this workbook was written the
ideas used for the exercises are very
simple very clear and totally
unambiguous we are not concerned with
intellectual feats or logical toys we
are dealing only in the very obvious
which has been overlooked in the clouds
of complexity in which you think you
think if guilt is hell
what is its opposite this is not
difficult surely the hesitation you may
feel in answering is not due to the
ambiguity of the question but do you
believe that guilt is hell if you did
you would see it once how direct and
simple the text is and you would not
need a workbook at all no one needs
practice to gain what is already his we
have already said that your holiness is
the salvation of the world what about
your own salvation
you cannot give what you do not have a
Savior must be saved
how else can he teach salvation today's
exercises will apply to you recognizing
that your salvation is crucial to the
salvation of the world as you apply the
exercises to your world the whole world
stands to benefit your holiness is the
answer to every question that was ever
asked is being asked now or will be
asked in the future your holiness means
the end of guilt and therefore the end
of hell your holiness is the salvation
of the world
and your own how could you two whom your
holiness belongs be excluded from it oz
does not know unholiness can it be he
does not know his son a full five
minutes are urged for the four longer
practice periods for today and longer
and more frequent practice sessions are
encouraged if you want to exceed the
minimum requirements more rather than
longer sessions are recommended although
both are suggested begin the practice
periods as usual by repeating today's
idea to yourself then with eyes closed
search out your unloving thoughts in
whatever form they appear uneasiness
depression anger fear worry attack
insecurity and so on whatever form they
take they are unloving and therefore
fearful and so it is from them that you
need to be saved specific situations
events or personalities you associate
with unloving thoughts of any kind or
suitable subjects for today's exercises
it is imperative for your salvation that
you see them differently and it is your
blessing on them that will save you and
give you vision slowly without conscious
selection and without undue emphasis on
anyone in particular search your mind
for every thought that stands between
you and your salvation apply the idea
for today to each of them in this way my
am loving thoughts about blank are
keeping me in hell my holiness is my
salvation you may find these practice
periods either
if you intersperse them with several
short periods during which you merely
it's today's idea to yourself slowly a
few times you may also find it helpful
to include a few short intervals in
which you just relax and do not seem to
be thinking of anything sustain
concentration is very difficult at first
it will become much easier as your mind
becomes more disciplined and less
distractible meanwhile you should feel
free to introduce variety into the
exercise periods in whatever form
appeals to you do not however change the
idea itself as you vary the method of
applying it however you elect to use it
the ideas should be stated so that its
meaning is the fact that your holiness
is your salvation and each practice
period by repeating the idea in its
original form once more and heading it's
guilt is hell
what is its opposite in the shorter
applications which should be made some
three or four times an hour and more if
possible you may ask yourself this
question repeats today's idea and
preferably both if temptations arise a
particularly helpful form of the idea is
my holiness is my salvation from this my
holiness is my salvation
so as we reinforce this idea that the
state of mind which is pure holiness his
salvation is the answer to every
question that has ever been asked is
asked or will be asked and this leads us
far beyond any experience of guilt in
this beautiful lesson Jesus is playing
with the idea of guilt he playfully
asked it guilt his hell what is its
opposite and then comes in to say that
the hesitation you may feel in answering
is not due to the ambiguity of the
question but do you believe that guilt
is hell
the assumption is not that guilt is hell
because Jesus says if you did
meaning if you did believe that guilt is
hell you would see it once how direct
and simple the text is and you would not
need a workbook at all
no one needs practice to gain what is
already his all that just from one
realization that guilt is hell because
hell is not attractive and guilt is not
attractive but if there is an attraction
to guilt and there is an attraction to
hell this lesson my holiness is my
salvation it provides the answer to
everything
because holiness can have no opposite
God has no opposite divine love has no
opposite
the purity of the innocence of holiness
stands in violet untarnished eternal and
thus is salvation holiness is healing
healing does not involve the body
holiness healing his estates of mind and
also holiness knows not of attack
holiness knows not of judgment this is
the healing of the holy spirit as we
just read in the text the holy spirit
still holds knowledge safe in your mind
through his impartial perception by
attacking nothing he presents no barrier
to the communication of God therefore
being is never threatened your childlike
godlike mind can never be defiled the
Christ the living son of God the living
child
can never be defiled this is holiness
this is the salvation so as we just read
recently in the message of the
crucifixion teach only love for that is
what you are we are teaching holiness
what that is what we are
and he said this is the one lesson that
is perfectly unified because it is the
only lesson that is one only by teaching
it can you learn it so today we will
teach we will extend holiness we will
experience holiness our holiness
encompass everything that we perceive
our personality our specific situations
events they're all associated with
unloving thoughts and deep within beyond
these thoughts is our holiness
we extend our holiness as a blessing and
accept it
today is our salvation amen
