We continue today with chapter 12, the same curriculum only love is strong

because it is undivided strong do not attack because they see no need to do so

for the idea of attack and enter your mind you must have perceived yourself as

week because you attacked yourself and believe that the attack was effective

you behold yourself as weekend no longer perceiving yourself and your brother's

is equal and regarding yourself as weaker you attempt to quote equalize the

situation you made you use attack to do so because you believe that attack was

successful in weakening you that is why the recognition of your home in

vulnerability is so important to the restoration of your sanity for if you

accept your invulnerability you are recognizing that attack has no effect

although you have attacked yourself you will be demonstrating that nothing

really happened

therefore by attacking you have not done anything once you realize this you will

no longer see any sense an attack for it manifestly does not work and cannot

protect you get the recognition of your invulnerability has more than negative

value if your attacks on yourself have failed to weaken you

you are still strong you therefore have no need to quote equalize the situation

to establish your strength you will never realize the other uselessness of

attack except by recognizing that your attack on yourself has no effects for

others do react to attack if they perceive it and if you are trying to

attack them you will be unable to avoid interpreting this as reinforcement the

only place you can cancel out all reinforcement is in yourself

for you are always the first point of your attack and if this has never been

it has no consequences the Holy Spirit's love is your strength for yours is

divided and therefore not real you cannot trust your own love when you

attack it you cannot learn of perfect love with a split mind because the split

mind has made itself a poor learner you tried to make the separation eternal

because you wanted to retain the characteristics of creation of with your

own content it creation is not of you and poor learners to need special

teaching you have learning handicaps in a very literal sense there are areas in

your learning skills that are so impaired that you can progress only

under constant clear-cut direction provided by a teacher who can transcend

your limited resources he becomes your resource because of yourself you cannot

learn the learning situation in which you place yourself is impossible and in

this situation you clearly require a special teacher and a curriculum special

curriculum poor learners are not good choices as teachers either for

themselves or for anyone else you would hardly turn to them to establish the

curriculum by which they can escape from the limitations if they understood what

is beyond them they would not be handicapped you do not know the meaning

of love and that is your handicap

do not attempt to teach yourself what you do not understand and do not to try

to set up curriculum goals where yours have clearly failed your learning goal

has been not to learn and this cannot lead to successful learning you

cannot transfer what you have not learned and the impairment of the

ability to generalize is a crucial learning failure would you ask those who

have failed to learn what learning aids or for they do not know if they could

interpret the AIDS correctly they would have learned from them i have said that

the egos rule is seek and do not find translate into curricular terms this

means try to learn but do not succeed the result of this curriculum goal is

obvious every legitimate teaching aid every real instruction and every

sensible guide to learning will be misinterpreted as they are all for

facilitating the learning this strange curriculum is against it you are trying

to learn how not to learn and the aim of your teaching is to defeat itself

what can you expect but confusion such a curriculum does not make sense this

attempt at quote learning has so we can your mind that you cannot love for the

curriculum you have chosen is against love and amounts to a course in how to

attack yourself a supplementary goal in this your curriculum is learning how not

to overcome the split it makes its primary aim believable and you will not

overcome the split in this curriculum for all your learning will be on its

behalf

yet your mind speaks against your learning as you're learning speaks

against your mind and so you fight against all learning and succeed for

that is what you want but perhaps you do not realize even yet that there is

something you want to learn and that you can learn it because it is your choice

to do so

you have tried to learn what you do not want should take heart for all the

curriculum you set yourself is depressing indeed it is merely

ridiculous if you look at it is it possible that the way to achieve a goal

is not to attain it

resign now is your own teacher this resignation will not lead to depression

it is merely the result of an honest appraisal of what you have taught

yourself and have the learning outcomes i have resulted under the proper

learning conditions which you can either provide more understand you will become

an excellent learner and an excellent teacher but it is not so yet and will

not be so until the whole learning situations you have set it up is

reversed you're learning potential properly understood his limitless

because it will leave you to god you can teach the way to him and learn it if you

follow the teacher who knows the way to him and understands his curriculum for

learning it the curriculum is totally unambiguous because the goal is not

divided and the means and the end are in complete Accord you need offer only

undivided attention

everything else will be giving you for you really want to learn the right and

nothing can oppose the decision of God son his learning is as unlimited as he

is and from the workbook lesson 94 this review we will use these ideas let me

recognize the problem so it can be solved

let me realize today that the problem is always some form of grievance that I

would cherish let me also understand that the solution is always a miracle

with which I let the grievance be replaced

today I would remember the simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson that

there is one problem and one solution

the problem is a grievance the solution is a miracle and I invite the solution

to come to me through my forgiveness of the grievance and my welcome of the

miracle that takes his place specific applications of this idea might be in

these forms this presents a problem to me which I would have resolved the

miracle behind this grievance will resolve it for me the answer to this

problem is the miracle that it conceals let me recognize my problems have been

solved

I seem to have problems only because i am misusing time I believe that the

problems comes first and time must elapse before it can be worked out

I do not see the problem in the answer as simultaneous in their occurrence that

is because i do not yet realize that God has placed the answer together with the

problem so that they cannot be separated by time the Holy Spirit will teach me

this if I will let him and I will understand it is impossible that I could

have a problem which has not been solved already these forms of the idea will be

useful for specific applications i need not wait for this to be resolved the

answer to this problem has already given me if I will accept it

time cannot separate this problem from his solution

let me recognize the problem so it can be solved

let me recognize my problems have been solved.

Today we open our hearts and minds to the same curriculum.

A curriculum of strength, unification, consistency, peace,love, joy and happiness.

Today we believe, we see that attack is impossible, that is impossible to attack oneself or God,

that attack has no effects. Attack has never had any effects.

In accepting our invulnerabililty we recognize that attack has never had an effect.

We are thus demonstrating that nothing really happened.

We are accepting the atonement, the awareness that the separation from God never happened.

The Holy Spirit's love is our strength.

The only way I can experience perfect love is to forgive.

Today I will follow The Teacher, the Holy Spirit who transcends all limited resources.

The Holy Spirit becomes my resource, the Holy Spirit's curriculum cannot fail.

God's plan for my salvation cannot fail. Today I accept the fact,

today I resign now as my own teacher and vow to follow the guide who knows the way,

the way to the kingdom of heaven within.

Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.

Let me recognize my problems have been solved. Amen
