LESSON 207 Review of Lesson 187 I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. (187) I bless the world because I bless myself. God’s blessing shines upon me from within my heart, where He abides. I need but turn to Him, and every sorrow melts away, as I accept His boundless Love for me. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. - Jesus Christ in ACIM
LESSON 206 Review of Lesson 186 I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. (186) Salvation of the world depends on me. I am entrusted with the gifts of God, because I am His Son. And I would give His gifts where He intended them to be. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. - Jesus Christ in ACIM
LESSON 205 Review of Lesson 185 I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. (185) I want the peace of God. The peace of God is everything I want. The peace of God is my one goal; the aim of all my living here, the end I seek, my purpose and my function and my life, while I abide where I am not at home. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. - Jesus Christ in ACIM...
LESSON 204 Review of Lesson 184 I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. (184) The Name of God is my inheritance. God’s Name reminds me that I am His Son, not slave to time, unbound by laws which rule the world of sick illusions, free in God, forever and forever one with Him. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. - Jesus Christ in ACIM
Review of Lesson 183 I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. (183) I call upon God’s Name and on my own. The Name of God is my deliverance from every thought of evil and of sin, because it is my own as well as His. I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. - Jesus Christ in ACIM
LESSON 202 Review of Lesson 182 I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. (182) I will be still an instant and go home. Why would I choose to stay an instant more where I do not belong, when God Himself has given me His Voice to call me home? I am not a body. I am free. For I am still as God created me. - Jesus Christ n ACIM
Review Lessons 201-220 Introduction For this review we take but one idea each day, and practice it as often as is possible. Besides the time you give morning and evening, which should not be less than fifteen minutes, and the hourly remembrances you make throughout the day, use the idea as often as you can between them. Each of these ideas alone would be sufficient for salvation, if it were learned truly. Each would be enough to give release to you and to the world from every form of bondage, an...
LESSON 200 There Is No Peace Except The Peace Of God. S eek you no further. You will not find peace except the peace of God. Accept this fact, and save yourself the agony of yet more bitter disappointments, bleak despair, and sense of icy hopelessness and doubt. Seek you no further. There is nothing else for you to find except the peace of God, unless you seek for misery and pain. This is the final point to which each one must come at last, to lay aside all hope of finding happiness where there ...
LESSON 199 I Am Not A Body, I Am Free. Freedom must be impossible as long as you perceive a body as yourself. The body is a limit. Who would seek for freedom in a body looks for it where it can not be found. The mind can be made free when it no longer sees itself as in a body, firmly tied to it and sheltered by its presence. If this were the truth, the mind were vulnerable indeed! The mind that serves the Holy Spirit is unlimited forever, in all ways, beyond the laws of time and space, unbound b...
LESSON 198 Only My Condemnation Injures Me. I njury is impossible. And yet illusion makes illusion. If you can condemn, you can be injured. For you have believed that you can injure, and the right you have established for yourself can be now used against you, till you lay it down as valueless, unwanted and unreal. Then does illusion cease to have effects, and those it seemed to have will be undone. Then are you free, for freedom is your gift, and you can now receive the gift you gave. Condemn an...
It can be but my gratitude I earn. Here is the second step we take to free your mind from the belief in outside force pitted against your own. You make attempts at kindness and forgiveness. Yet you turn them to attack again, unless you find external gratitude and lavish thanks. Your gifts must be received with honor, lest they be withdrawn. And so you think God's gifts are loans at best; at worst, deceptions which would cheat you of defenses, to ensure that when He strikes He will not fail to ki...
LESSON 197 It Can Be But My Gratitude I Earn. Here is the second step we take to free your mind from the belief in outside force pitted against your own. You make attempts at kindness and forgiveness. Yet you turn them to attack again, unless you find external gratitude and lavish thanks. Your gifts must be received with honor, lest they be withdrawn. And so you think God’s gifts are loans at best; at worst, deceptions which would cheat you of defenses, to ensure that when He strikes He will not...
LESSON 196 It Can Be But Myself I Crucify. When this is firmly understood and kept in full awareness, you will not attempt to harm yourself, nor make your body slave to vengeance. You will not attack yourself, and you will realize that to attack another is but to attack yourself. You will be free of the insane belief that to attack a brother saves yourself. And you will understand his safety is your own, and in his healing you are healed. Perhaps at first you will not understand how mercy, limit...
LESSON 195 Love Is The Way I Walk In Gratitude. Gratitude is a lesson hard to learn for those who look upon the world amiss. The most that they can do is see themselves as better off than others. And they try to be content because another seems to suffer more than they. How pitiful and deprecating are such thoughts! For who has cause for thanks while others have less cause? And who could suffer less because he sees another suffer more? Your gratitude is due to Him alone Who made all cause of sor...
LESSON 194 I Place The Future In The Hands Of God. Today’s idea takes another step toward quick salvation, and a giant stride it is indeed! So great the distance is that it encompasses, it sets you down just short of Heaven, with the goal in sight and obstacles behind. Your foot has reached the lawns that welcome you to Heaven’s gate; the quiet place of peace, where you await with certainty the final step of God. How far are we progressing now from earth! How close are we approaching to our goal...
LESSON 193 All Things Are Lessons God Would Have Me Learn. God does not know of learning. Yet His Will extends to what He does not understand, in that He wills the happiness His Son inherited of Him be undisturbed; eternal and forever gaining scope, eternally expanding in the joy of full creation, and eternally open and wholly limitless in Him. That is His Will. And thus His Will provides the means to guarantee that it is done. God sees no contradictions. Yet His Son believes he sees them. Thus ...
LESSON 192 I Have A Function God Would Have Me Fill. It is your Father’s holy Will that you complete Himself, and that your Self shall be His sacred Son, forever pure as He, of Love created and in love preserved, extending love, creating in its Name, forever one with God and with your Self. Yet what can such a function mean within a world of envy, hatred and attack? Therefore, you have a function in the world in its own terms. For who can understand a language far beyond his simple grasp? Forgiv...
We are sharing in this episode of this direct meeting with Master Teacher the video presentation of the "I Am The Light Of The World" from The Cellular Mind Training Series, in which He offers us to accept a new beginning with the release of the past in the acceptance of our true Identity. He guides us through these essential lessons which bring forth the Power of our Mind, because it is the Power of Light within you, all of us. We are looking at the mind's resurrecting thoughts that transcend e...
LESSON 191 I Am The Holy Son Of God Himself. Here is your declaration of release from bondage of the world. And here as well is all the world released. You do not see what you have done by giving to the world the role of jailer to the Son of God. What could it be but vicious and afraid, fearful of shadows, punitive and wild, lacking all reason, blind, with hate?What have you done that this should be your world? What have you done that this is what you see? Deny your own Identity, and this is wha...
LESSON 190 I Choose The Joy Of God Instead Of Pain. Pain is a wrong perspective. When it is experienced in any form, it is a proof of self-deception. It is not a fact at all. There is no form it takes that will not disappear if seen aright. For pain proclaims God cruel. How could it be real in any form? It witnesses to God the Father’s hatred of His Son, the sinfulness He sees in him, and His insane desire for revenge and death. Can such projections be attested to? Can they be anything but wholl...
LESSON 189 Feel The Love Of God Within Me Now. There is a light in you the world cannot perceive. And with its eyes you will not see this light, for you are blinded by the world. Yet you have eyes to see it. It is there for you to look upon. It was not placed in you to be kept hidden from your sight. This light is a reflection of the thought we practice now. To feel the Love of God within you is to see the world anew, shining in innocence, alive with hope, and blessed with perfect charity and lo...
LESSON 188 The Peace Of God Is Shining In Me Now. Why wait for Heaven? Those who seek the light are merely covering their eyes. The light is in them now. Enlightenment is but a recognition, not a change at all. Light is not of the world, yet you who bear the light in you are alien here as well. The light came with you from your native home, and stayed with you because it is your own. It is the only thing you bring with you from Him Who is your Source. It shines in you because it lights your home...
LESSON 187 I Bless The World Because I Bless Myself. No one can give unless he has. In fact, giving is proof of having. We have made this point before. What seems to make it hard to credit is not this. No one can doubt that you must first possess what you would give. It is the second phase on which the world and true perception differ. Having had and given, then the world asserts that you have lost what you possessed. The truth maintains that giving will increase what you possess. How is this po...
LESSON 186 Salvation Of The World Depends On Me. Here is the statement that will one day take all arrogance away from every mind. Here is the thought of true humility, which holds no function as your own but that which has been given you. It offers your acceptance of a part assigned to you, without insisting on another role. It does not judge your proper role. It but acknowledges the Will of God is done on earth as well as Heaven. It unites all wills on earth in Heaven’s plan to save the world, ...
LESSON 185 I Want The Peace Of God. To say these words is nothing. But to mean these words is everything. If you could but mean them for just an instant, there would be no further sorrow possible for you in any form; in any place or time. Heaven would be completely given back to full awareness, memory of God entirely restored, the resurrection of all creation fully recognized. No one can mean these words and not be healed. He cannot play with dreams, nor think he is himself a dream. He cannot ma...
We are sharing in this episode of this direct meeting with Master Teacher the video presentation of the "Workbook Lessons 46-50" from The Illuminate Mind Training Series, in which He offers us to review these essential lessons at the end of the first 50 lessons of the Workbook of A Course in Miracles. We are looking at trust in the strength of God within us. We are directed to use this Course and everything that restores our communication with His Mind, the Holy Spirit, the Christ within ourselv...
LESSON 184 The Name Of God Is My Inheritance. You live by symbols. You have made up names for everything you see. Each one becomes a separate entity, identified by its own name. By this you carve it out of unity. By this you designate its special attributes, and set it off from other things by emphasizing space surrounding it. This space you lay between all things to which you give a different name; all happenings in terms of place and time; all bodies which are greeted by a name.This space you ...
LESSON 183 I Call Upon God’s Name And On My Own. God’s Name is holy, but no holier than yours. To call upon His Name is but to call upon your own. A father gives his son his name, and thus identifies the son with him. His brothers share his name, and thus are they united in a bond to which they turn for their identity. Your Father’s Name reminds you who you are, even within a world that does not know; even though you have not remembered it. God’s Name cannot be heard without response, nor said w...
LESSON 182 I Will Be Still An Instant And Go Home. This world you seem to live in is not home to you. And somewhere in your mind you know that this is true. A memory of home keeps haunting you, as if there were a place that called you to return, although you do not recognize the voice, nor what it is the voice reminds you of. Yet still you feel an alien here, from somewhere all unknown. Nothing so definite that you could say with certainty you are an exile here. Just a persistent feeling, someti...
Introduction to Lessons 181-200 Our next few lessons make a special point of firming up your willingness to make your weak commitment strong; your scattered goals blend into one intent. You are not asked for total dedication all the time as yet. But you are asked to practice now in order to attain the sense of peace such unified commitment will bestow, if only intermittently. It is experiencing this that makes it sure that you will give your total willingness to following the way the course sets...
