​I am so glad to present a review on the new CD by
Lia Scallon
called #InvisibleLight // https://www.soundsofsirius.com/
presented to our readers by Jeanette Russell
Lia has been an enormous assistance to our BRC work with spirituality and light for many years now. I was so happy to receive Lia's new CD for review and very grateful to Jeanette who agreed to run this. You can find samples of the album: https://www.soundsofsirius.com/shop/invisible-light-cd/ and choose from 11 Lia's meditations CDs from the list she channeled in the last 20 years: the wisdom and the big heart of this soul is beyond human realm. https://www.soundsofsirius.com/product-category/music/cds/ We have reviewed ALL Lia's albums so far and many not even once.
Jeanette's review of Invisible Light
Lia has once again composed a beautiful CD. Invisible Light is a thoughtful , cathartic musical piece devised to help us through these uncertain times of the pandemic which is Covid 19. Lia speaks, as well as delivering some inspiration, hope and courage to her recipients, through her music, during the unprecedented period we are going through.
The disc goes for just over 30 minutes with a Prelude number 1 . A Primal Cry track. These are followed by a second Prelude. Number 4 is called Light Emerging. The fifth is Prelude 3. We then have Renewal as number 6. Track 7. is Epilogue and then the last is Lia's Profile.
Words of encouragement and calmness are present before each track with the accompaniment of sweet, soothing and relaxing vocals, and composition .
The CD is available for people to purchase but as well online there is a free MP 3 download, that can be accessed. I highly recommend this music designed by Lia as a gift to us. She states " May these sacred songs still your mind and bring deep healing and grace to your body and soul. "
I really appreciate the chance to review this amazing present of music, and gentle heartfelt words from Lia Scallion, many thanks.
Thank you Lia!

HOW TO RECOGNISE NARCISSIST MEN

11/7/2020

0 Comments

 
​I PROMISED TO WRITE ABOUT HOW TO RECOGNISE NARCISSIST MEN
NARCISSIST-PERVERT
1. definition
they are the men with damaged psyche. they are the same types: narcissists and perverts. who is narcissist? he is just a person who needs additional attention from the society, relatives, friends and colleagues. everyone has to say how good he is. narcissist, BTW, is not the human who looks in the mirror for his own reflection often. the mirror looking people and those who take way too many selfies are self-loving, posers etc, but there is no any psyche sickness in this: it is just a self love and it is normal in good proportions. narcissists are usually the people with very low self esteem. they are usually people who doubt their personality significance. such people consider themselves to be of no significance. from any side and as a result, such people try to get this significance through attention seeking.
2. behavior patterns
he chooses the prey to express himself; he shows himself up as a good conversation supporter, best and most reliable friend, most romantic lover, most consistent person and colleague etc. it is a presentation close to self promotion. there is nothing behind this "advertisement". he seeks to get a certain opinion of himself: for the people will think this person is amazing, reliable, sensitive, fabulous, all these adjectives... the word "sensitive" is the most significant in this paragraph as such people are not able to be emotionally involved. they can not feel anything nor they can express any sympathy towards you. they are cold as snakes. such people can not be genuine. there is only certain strategy they follow. they have usually a reptilian personality, precise planning and very target oriented minds. the person can pretend to react on your emotional crisis but it is not a true reaction.
3. where they come from
abusive family of course where the parents put the child down and neglect his/her values. men are more inclined to such behavior rather than women. girls in their childhood are usually treated like princesses, their parents tell them how beautiful, cute and remarkable they are. girls get lots of attention from all members of the family as a rule: if not parents than they can be grand-parents or other family members and relatives. if the girl is raised as a boy she has some tendencies to the narcissist behavior. when the boys are raised by mothers with no father involved as the mum was divorced, the boy is raised usually in a very strict atmosphere, with a highly raised, unreasonable, unreachable and unreasonable demands, with minimum encouragement and with maximum stipulates. such boys turn into narcissists.
the way to heal for men: forgive your parents for what they did to you and seek them to repent and ask you to forgiveness as well - should go both ways. usually it does not work with parents who were also raised in the same atmosphere at home but you can put your parents in the "thinking" mode and plant a seed in their minds. the man who does that has lots of courage as he disengages himself from the negative past and breaks the pattern of sick behavior in the family that raises such "narcissists". one for all - the whole generation can get aware, awakened and healed as well as the whole "family tree". but this is a rare case. usually the man-narcissist will never see it and will never even think about the "patterns". "blaming others is the feature of humans". just one note that such man, that healed the family, will raise a great child after that as his past will be healed and the future will be healed as a result.
4. how they act
he never says "sorry" "I was wrong" "I was not right" "I will never say or do this again" etc, he will never say that. he will always find the wrong even in the best, he will turn "small wrongs" into the "huge wrongs". he will focus your attention not on the best parts of something but on the worst parts of anything. he will always point out and highlight your mistakes even if they are smallest and the rest of what you did was really amazing, best done and remarkable. you will never be good enough for him. it is a sickness, he has a sick mind, he is never positive about anything. he will always remember and highlight what you did wrong in the past and what have you missed. he will always say: "you will have to change" "you should do this or that" "you should not do this or that" "you talked wrongly today " "you think in the wrong way" etc. he will never accept you for who you are. the "wrongs" will grow and the best in you will be eventually killed. he will never be happy with what he has in experiences with you. such narcissist personality will make sure you start to believe in his own subjective reality and the objective reality will vanish. something beautiful will take place or you go to the beautiful place together but he will always find something really bad and will change your view about this day. if you felt amazing he will change your mind and humiliate you. he will prove the opposite to what you believe and see. light will change into darkness always. remember: the aim of the narcissist is to suppress your personality in order to show himself off as the most perfect human being compared to you, even if he was in the wrong. he will downgrade you in any way and will raise himself above you. narcissist personality likes to divide the responsibilities and will never help you with anything: "you do this, I do this" "why did not you say this? it was your responsibility" etc etc.. you will always feel very small next to such personality. you will never grow wings to fly next to such personality. such man will strangle you, leave you voiceless, will diminish your values and will step on your soul with no regrets. if he has done something good for you he will repeat it hundreds of times , over and over again, he will never remember what you have done for him, he will never thank you for the day you spent together, he will never appreciate your efforts or understand your tiredness, your hard work etc, but his actions will always be the first he will remember and remind you constantly how many times he bought you flowers or did some extra work for you... and, my god, help you if you forget what he did! he will remember his own smallest deeds for months and you will always owe him. you could do thousands times more than him but it will all be neglected and ignored, taken for granted and forgotten, smashed and stepped up on; the smallest things that do not even last one minute of work from his side will be remembered forever! he will be very reserved thanking you for something, there is no emotions involved even when he "thanks you". he constantly compares what you did and what he did and his demands are never compared to what you did for him - what you did is always lower than his inner demands. how would normal and healthy man react to a good present you made with your hands: for example your cooking that you put all your heart into? well, he will see the whole universe in this. the narcissist will never say "thank you" for your cooking. he will forget what you did no matter that you put your soul into his meal. narcissist will think: "how? to me, the king of all universe, she has made only some home made chocolates?... I do deserve much better.. I will never say thank you to her" I deserve much more than that. may be such men only expect expensive cars and expensive properties from their women, from their mums and in the future such men would usually try to find a prey to continue "feeding" them with more and more.
5. can you change a narcissist
such person will never agree to go and see a specialist. in case something dramatic happens and he will be forced to see a therapist to heal him such process will be very stressful for him because in no way such person would think that he is sick. nevertheless the unexpected can happen. such person can appear at the specialist room (psychologist or psycho therapist) and he will behave in the most charming way in order to trick the psycho-therapist or psychologist. he attends the specialist not to heal his relationship with his woman as he does not see anything wrong with them but rather to show off how perfect he is. he will charm the specialist. such "healing sessions" might even turn into a self advertisement or self presentation. the narcissist will be very soft and very sensitive, very emotional, he will tell everyone about his personal belief about a good family, and how he will be treating his wife and about his personal values, how he wants to see his relationship in perfection growing hand in hand supporting each other and other bullshit etc etc. he will impress the specialist with such behavior. if he succeeds with the therapist he will use the success to humiliate his close ones even more. many experienced psychologists know about such behavior and see it through. but some still get tricked. however if the narcissist was not successful with the specialist he will downgrade the therapist and will demand that they never see him again. he might take a defensive position and might start to blame everyone. if the narcissist is successful he will make your life a hell. he will tell you: "you see, even the therapist said I am amazing, it is you who need to work on your own life..." you will be put down even more. unfortunately you can not change them. can you be happy with the narcissists (or perverts)? NO. you can not also leave such relationship without your own psyche damaged - it is close to impossible. the women who are in relationship with narcissists or perverts get sick very often, such sicknesses are sudden and spontaneous: it can be very rapid weight gain or very rapid weight loss. the woman loses her hair, losses her nails, her skin gets irritated and gets dry as if she feels poisoned all the time by invisible poison. girls, you should leave such relationship immediately for the sake of your own health and with as less damage to YOU as possible. if you have kids you should seek help and advise of a goo od psychologist.
6. who are perverts
such people call black "white" and on the contrary: white will turn into "black". if such man's wife starts talking about her emotional state he will change the subject, close up, walk away from the room, distance himself up. he is basically closing up to the objective reality. he does not want to feel responsible for certain situations. perverts have perverted tendencies especially in sexual life. perverts will offer threesomes, swing parties, orgies etc etc. such people will be suffering from onanism and please themselves with masturbation. everything that is not defined "normal" will belong to perverts. perverts like to sabotage sexual relationship. if you argue he punishes you with not having sexual relationship with you. such person instead of discussing things and positions honestly can disappear and keep quiet for days, weeks and months, he distances himself from you by not answering you messages and calls, vanishes for several days from the house putting you in unstable emotional state of mind. he will make you feel aggressive towards him [and misunderstanding], you will also start analyzing the situation deeply, you will start finding guilt feelings inside yourself to explain his actions. you will start blaming yourself for all that happened between you two. you will start worrying about him and your emotional state of mind will be very low. if your man disappears for such a long time you will think that you have upset him with something. such situation is very handy for the pervert. pervert waits till you admit that you were guilty. he waits till you call and start talking to him first. pervert replies to his woman: "ok, I forgive you, let's forget it" even if he was in the wrong. you will feel next to zero after such "situation". very often narcissists go together in personality patterns as perverts. they are men who put you down, never value your feelings. more to that: such men have very low self esteem themselves, remember. he looks bright and significant now on your humiliated personality background. what else? such people, perverts-narcissists usually make very painful ironic comments towards their partners. such men usually laugh at women and not only. they usually laugh and criticize their women achievements and their personalities, he will always put her down. such men usually laugh at woman's education, her achievements and the way females think. he never values her opinion as he believes that his is the most important one. such man will always point to your mistakes and your downfalls. he is never happy with his woman's actions. he is never happy with the way her thoughts and her words. he is never happy and is never satisfied with anything around her. when you talk with such man you will always be stressed to express your opinion, you will always be judged, you will feel judged and will never talk out, you will be scared to make mistakes and you will always feel "not free", not yourself. you will always live according to him, projecting your own life and aligning your life with his, you will never run your own program, it will always be "his" and HIS only in order to please him out of fear. this is not the life you were designed for as you loose your true self in such relationship, you will kill and destroy your SELF. you will never hear from him: "this dress suits you so well", "you look so beautiful today" " your hair look so nice " "I like your hands" "I like how you smell". there is no compliments coming your way from such man. even if it is pronounced it is all done exclusively with the purpose of manipulating you. narcissists will find faults in how you eat, walk, sleep and talk. if your man feels that you laugh too loud in front of the public or drink too loud and he tells you about it, he has a narcissist or perverted type of behavior. the man who loves you will love you in all your expressions: loud, silent and normal, laughing or in tears, wrong or right - ALL YOUR ASPECTS OF SELF. narcissists and perverts experience aggressions often. it happens unpredictable. it can turn into swearing in public or in front of a crowd or friends etc... narcissists and perverts never keep their promises. he changes his mind, forgets about the promise or refuses he made a promise in the first place. it is another way to put you down so you feel helpless and you do not feel a firm ground under your feet. you will feel you do not deserve happiness etc.
7. how manipulation takes place
he blackmails you with your own secrets. this means the humiliation takes place on a very deep level. woman usually takes it in a form of feeling guilt and tries to please the abuser. there is another form of manipulation: the narcissists will tell you: "I am leaving you, good bye, I do not need you anymore, I do not want to see and know you" and he hangs up on your or leaves conversation without warning, walks out of the room and disengages himself from further discussions. this is a manipulation that is very hurtful for a woman. man usually demands something and says: "if you do not follow my demands I am going to leave you". if the demands are not fulfilled he blocks the communication with you and you feel emotionally down and manipulated.
8. how to identify such behavior at the very start of your relationship
it is very hard to identify especially at the first stage of relationship if the man is narcissist or pervert. the strategy of such man is usually very cunning: he charms you and makes you feel safe in his hands. he offers you what no one has offered you before to buy your trust. only after you live together or when you are married you suddenly discover the changes that start taking place. your man becomes very rude, aggressive, not responding and neglecting you etc. but no matter how such men hide this tendencies, you can figure them out. first suspicion: he drags all your attention to HIM and HIM only. he will never talks or asks you about YOU, he will never support or help you in anything you start and even if he will it will be only a weak verbal support or a poor remark. he might say: "I will be so worried about you" - this is as far as the support will go. there will be nothing to follow. narcissists or perverts can not act. example: you would like to become a famous writer and you send your articles or books to the publisher. you tell this idea to your partner. he will tell you: "I am so happy for you" - this is it! he will show you an interest on a short term, it will be forgotten soon after and he will never get interested in the result of your efforts. why? because he faked the original reaction and it is well forgotten - the lie is never remembered (only the truth is remembered), he never gets engaged or tries to remember what was so important for your life. if your man talks a lot but do not do much this is the bell ringing... a healthy man is very interested in everything you do and assists you on your way. he will do all his best to support you all way through. the unhealthy narcissists will only focus on what is important for him, not you, he is interested in his own life results, not in yours.
girls, be smart, act smart, think smart.

​FOOD OF GODS

​FOOD OF GODS
Once upon a time early in the morning a tired stranger appeared at the steps of the remote Tibetan monastery. He walked from far away to find out about the secret potion of youth. The monk showed to the stranger dry palm leaves which were used by the wise men of the monastery to write the sacred recipe. To make a potion he took a handful of dry chamomile, silver birch buds, immortelle and St. John's wort. He crushed the grassed in a cup and left them till the very late evening. At the sunset the monk continued to make the potion. He poured boiling water to top the grass mixture. After a while he soaked the drink through a piece of clothes. He poured the drink to a cup and added honey, the main ingredient. He asked the stranger to drink the potion and advised not to eat or drink till the morning. At sunrise the monk heated the potion in the water bath and added a spoon of honey into it again. The stranger drank the potion before the started his breakfast. The monk said to the stranger to continue taking the drink every day and mentioned that he, himself drinks same potion for the last 115 years.

The youth potion recipe was found later, in 1971 by the Austrian scientists expedition at one of the Tibetan monasteries. The decoding of the palm leaves ancient writing became a real revolution for that time medicine.

The potions of grasses with honey are the old times recipe of genuine path to youth, longevity, skin revitalizing, toxins removal and physical body general cleansing. It is an active cleansing program at any age. It is extremely effective.

The scientists proved that the Tibetan potion of youth improves our blood circulation, metabolism, restores eye vision and memory but... how did the monks know about this recipe thousands of years ago? How did they know about the magical properties of honey? The knowledge keepers in Tibet reckon that they did not find it by experiments. The exact recipe was copied from the ancient books that told them about the civilizations gone. Ayurveda, the ancient science of life values honey very high. The famous Indian book "Elixir Of Immortality" tells about the drink that gives us immortality and the main ingredient of this drink is honey.

Ancient Greeks considered honey to be Gods' Food. It was pat of the nectar or ambrosia that the immortal Gods of Olympus consumed.

We do not have that many foods that can be placed on the shelves with the label: "Youth Elixir" or " Makropulos Potion " or something that really improves our heath, our looks, and gives us life longevity. Among such products honey takes one of the top places and it is in the top five of such products.

Honey was the source of youth for Egyptian Cleopatra. She was the icon for mane rules of her time. No, she was not gorgeous but she loved herself a lot and she looked after her looks very well. Ancient historian wrote about her book volume on longevity and youth. We only have a few of them that were kept safe. Her best products were donkey fat milk and fragrant honey from Alexandria. Cleopatra used them for the face masks and for the baths. She added hot milk to the bath water and a cup of liquid honey and almond, rose or olive oil. Her skin was tender and smooth after such bath. She also invented a rejuvenating balm. She kept the water in the silver jar, then added dry aloe plant extract and honey. She also mixed fat double cream with honey and oil drops and applied to her facial skin.

Not only Cleopatra can afford such recipe. Any woman can do that if she has double cream, olive oil and honey. Honey assists in this case with the micro-circulation which influences directly the conditions of our facial skin blood vessels.

It is a great knowledge if the person knows exactly what is the right honey and the right bees... yes the honey can be wrong too and we will talk about it later. Honey is not only the longevity elixir but also the drink of super-powers. Northern honey has lots of ferments. Bees especially look better after northern honey as they stay dormant during winter and super good food is important for the right bees. Ferments enhance the quality of such honey. When ferments get to our stomach together with honey they work as catalysts for the honey to get digested very quickly. It gets absorbed into our body very fast. As a result we start sweating. You sweat from the right honey. It is a free energy released that needs to find the way out - it gets out through the sweat. You get warmed up too. Honey is a great energy food, but again: it should be the right honey from the right bees. Linden honey is antibacterial and protects people against flues. Homey with bee propolis helps to active physical body protection functions. It is used for heart diseases and stomach tract diseases. But the real treasure is dyagel honey. Dyagel or Angelica is a very valuable plant. Angelica has a special place in Slavic culture. From the name itself in Latin Angelica it is already seen that this plant is extremely interesting. So the honey you get from this plant is angelic. Slavic people called is dudnik. When the spices were not yet discovered the roots of dyagel were dried, crushed and used as a spice in cooking. Dyagel and the honey from this plant flowers cleanses your blood and revitalizes the body. Which honey properties help in longevity and protect us from sicknesses?

Scientists proved that honey have the same structure as human blood plasma. It contains the microelements that are optimal and perfect for human body. It has 92 chemical compounds and each of them are vital for human health. Vitamins B2, B5, E, C, nicotine and follicle acids, iron, magnesium, and amino-acids, phytoncides and flavonoids. How did that happen that small and ready to bite you insects produce the substance that is close it its chemical compounds to human plasma? What don't we know about bees? Bees built their beehives in the form of the hexagonal prisms. When the scientists started thinking why this form is so good they realised the perfect surface cover is made out of hexagonal prisms. Who told the bees about this geometry? Quarts crystals have the same hexagonal form, the unique mineral that keeps a huge amount of information and generates piezoelectricity or electromagnetic energy of the earth. What does this universal geometry means? More to that: the bee is the creature that lives in the ideal social society that is ruled by the collective mind. Every bee can give her life without any hesitation protecting the interests of her family, her beehive. It is ready to give her life any time and scare the aggressor away. They are the community rules and orders and there are no robotic behavior here: today I am doing this and that.

The ancient civilizations treated bees as sacred animals. The archeological works of Heliopolis, the ancient Egyptian city inside the temple of Ra, the God of Sun found the writings on the wall: Ra was crying and his tears were falling down on Earth and turning into bees. The ancient people believed that honey was the gift of Gods to people. It was given to the people to prolong their lives and to remember the connection of Gods and people and also for the people not to feel lonely on this planet.

Vishnu, the God-creator from the Indian mythology has got the image and shape of the blue bee as a Keeper. he is resting in the Lotus flower cup. What does it mean? Lotus means peace creation / world creation and Vishnu is the world manager: labor, humbleness and recreation of one product from the other: nectar turning into honey. Vishnu gives birth the same way to the world that is around us.

Scientists still do not know the compound of the bee poison: apitoxin. Some parts of its chemical compounds do not have any analogies in nature of this planet. Can bees be a cosmic aliens brought to us by the other intelligent minds? Apitoxin is a complex of oil-like mineral substances, amino-acids and proteins. You can freeze or boil bee poison. It will not change its properties nor its compounds. It is the most powerful disinfectants of Earth. Even when it is diluted in proportion of 1:50,000 apitoxin remain sterile. Interesting that bee poison gets digested by humans with no trace.
People realised the youth properties of honey when they realised that this substance practically doe snot have an expiry date. Any organic matter is kept in honey for many years. Scientists found a jar with honey in the ancient tomb. There were also barley grains inside. This items were from 5-6000 BC. Strange things happen but this grain was planted and was alive!! It actually produced crop too. Honey was used to conserve food. Propolis or bee wax was used to balm the dead bodies in Egypt. We all remember Alexander The Great was wounded with the poisoned arrow in India and passed away in Babylon. He had to be moved and buried in Greece. His body was dipped into the bath of honey and successfully delivered to his mother country.

When God Osiris was send to the Kingdom of Dead his body was covered in honey for keeping it from decomposition. When Osiris passed away the Universe was dipped into chaos. All Gods were in deep mourning. They cried and their tears turned into magical liquid that was later used to embalm the Osiris' body to keep him for the Life after Life. The liquid contained honey, rosin and incenses. Archeologists often find in tombs the jars with honey decorated with bees. Such jars were left with the purpose of use in the Kingdom of Dead. Slavic people also beloved that honey is the connection between the world of people and the world of Gods. So for the dead people to be accepted by Gods after life honey was present at the ceremonies. You can eat honey that is 6000 years old, no fear, there is no expiry date of this product , it never goes off. Honey is immortal in its essence. Slavic people for that reason considered honey to be the ultimate cure to give immortality after death. Honey would take human to the Gods' world. Any current scientific proofs about honey?

Honey was used by Gods as "anabiosis liquid" to help them travel through thousands of "light years". The plasma of immortality was close to Gods' blood. What if they dipped into such baths only to get awoken in centuries after that process? People though were only copying Gods in their actions with their dead and they also thought they would live forever. Is that why they made mummies as a tradition? Can bees simply be a bio-robots to get the required ingredients from the environment. What if Gods still sleep in the lakes of honey only to get awoken from those "waters" when their morning comes.

One ancient legend says: rabbi was visited by the young woman that never smiled. She asked the rabbi to show her the secret of happiness. She begged him on her knees to teach her to get joyful and enjoy life. The wise man looked at the girl with curiosity and gave her a handful of fruit of cylindrical shape. The fruit were of brown color and they were full of sweet and honey-like juice. He asked the girl to eat three fruit daily to cognize the happiness of life. The girl ate the fruit and started smiling. There were no scientists a that times who would explain to the girl there is a hormone of happiness: serotonin. It is the one that is responsible for happiness. There is one way to stimulate the hormone: eat the products that are rich in tryptophan. Our body produces serotonin from this amino-acid. The girl ate the particles of happiness together with the fruit, the dates. Dates are unique plant on our planet. This plant does not have its wild relative in nature. It appeared in its commercial form long time ago in the Middle East and Northern Africa. The archeological findings show date seeds as old as 5,000 BC. Where did the tree come from? All the people who live on these territories think that dates were brought to Earth by Gods. Sumerians believe that the date palm was given to people by Anunnaki, Jewish people - that is was brought to people by the sons of God. Egyptians trust the dates were given to people by God Ra and his daughter Hathor, the Goddess of crops and home fire. Historian Viktor Vostokov heard lots of legends about this tree. He believes that the dates were brought to Earth from space, the same way the wheat was brought. Wheat genetic code is not decoded, not defined yet. So dates are aliens as well. Dates are unique plants as they grow with practically no water. Dates are often called the bread of the dessert by the local people of the East. They were the food of Gods and Pharaohs in the ancient times. The Egyptian tombs are decorated with the images of dates. The recipes that include dates take place in ancient times too. The fruit and its seed was used for many remedies. Date honey was produced front date fruit that was used for the male potency.

Date seeds are very healthy for men. The seeds are crushed and brewed as tea and the effect is amazing after use!

The most famous legend about the date palm is connected to Mohammed, the prophet. When he talked to people he was standing on the palm tree trunk. Later, a different elevation was build for him and Mohammed started talking using the new raise. Suddenly he heard a moan coming from no where. It was a palm left by Mohammed moaning. He used his hands to heal the palm tree. This episode from Koran is explained by the modern theologists: everything alive wants to unite with Allah as well as the palm tree. When Mohammed was standing on the palm the tree was feeling the connection. As soon as he left the palm felt left aside. Only the touch of the prophet returned to the palm its reassurance that it is alive and is still connected to Allah. Muslims believe that the date palm covered Virgin Mary when she gave birth to the Issu, the prophet, or Jesus. According to the legend she reinstated her power during pregnancy and during the birth following her angel's advice: she ate dates. We can remain skeptical about the ancient legends but the modern science proves the legends tell us the right " superstitions".

Oxytocin was found in dates, the product that helps women to recover after giving birth. In ancient times pregnant women and nursing mothers were fed with dates. Probably they knew the properties of those dates and acted based on the knowledge.
Date palm is mentioned in Koran many times and everywhere it is called as "gift of Allah to the people". Mohammed the prophet considered the dates to be an excellent remedy. His followers were believing the same. The first Koran texts were written on the fog tree leaves. Mohammed talked about his favorite tree: "Warm yourself with the dates as they are the blessing from Allah. Dates help you to get rid of your sicknesses as they do not carry sickness... Those who breakfast with seven dates will never get poison and will never get bewitched..."

Dates contain lots of healthy ingredients: dates help to prevent heart diseases. They are that natural remedy from strokes. Healthy people should consume no more than four dates per day. Dates are the longevity fruit too. For people in the East dates are the source of youth. China has the oldest people who eat dates exclusively. There were some date seeds found in old tombs in Middle East, Masada. Some of these seeds were still alive. These seeds were 2,500 years old. They were found in the King Herod's tomb. The small palm that grew out of the date seed was called Methuselah, the Bible hero who lived for almost 1000 years.

Dates are the product of health, longevity and they are the source for our good brain function. Golden dates are most valuable and consumed by many people in Middle East. A Tree Of Life, this is how Chinese called their date tree. Chinese date or unabi ziziphus was used by ancient monks. It is a plant which can be proudly called an elixir of health. The fruit have a unique composition of ingredients that makes the blood vessels elastic. These dates also give men their sexual powers. The drink from dates helped to heal the respiratory system as well. This date was called "chest berry" for this reason.

History is silent about the kind of date Alexander The Great and his soldiers were using. But we know that dates were the main food for Alexander's army for survive the hard trips and battles. Every warrior had to eat 6-7 dates with the 2-3 sips of water from the pure spring before the fight. Dates were the fruit of the winning army. They were light in stomach but gave the warrior the required flexibility, power and agility. Glucose that date contain is the main ingredient for our body energy sources. Alexander's army had these energy dates to recharge their batteries.

Dates are the best energy source among all dry fruit. they contain lots of fructose and sugars which is the energy producer in our body. Dates have a very high glycemic index of the glucose level only compared with beer and cognac. It is a source of instant sugar injection in our body including brain as well.

Eleanor of Aquitaine, the French Queen and the wife of Louis VII and later the Queen of England and the wife of Henry II, who gave birth to Richard the Lionheart . the most influential and richest woman of Middle Ages was extremely beautiful. She had very special relationship with the French poet-troubadour Bernard de Ventadour .He wrote very bright and rare poetry about love. He won her heart with his poetry. Bernard was a palace poet. Bernard was the son of the chef so he did not have a noble title. Troubadour bewitched the queen not only with poetry but with his magical potion that he invented himself. Bernard de Ventadour knew that the main ingredient of the love potions is almond. Not only women use to charm men but also men to seduce women. Every time they met troubadour fed his queen with almonds. This love attraction "method" was so good for Eleanor as it made her even more beautiful. Phoenician people considered the most beautiful Goddess to be Amygdala. and her secret of wisdom and beauty was inside the magical plant: mindal or almond. the tree was named after this Goddess. Latin name of almond is Amygdalus.

Nuts are the most mystical products on Earth. Ancient people used to say that nuts give people wisdom, energy and youth. Nothing appeared on Earth with no reason. A Tree Of Life, this is how it is often called, the walnut tree. It gives you energy and heals you. Herodotus wrote that walnuts have very special life powers. Hippocrates recommended to use them to heal heart, brain, stomach, kidneys and liver. He said that walnut is a treasure of nutrition. Greek saw a panacea remedy from all sicknesses in walnuts. So was the nuts called: The Crop Of Life. Walnut tree carries healing properties not only in walnut but itself but also in the shell of the nut, in its nut dividers-membranes, leaves and flowers. Unriped walnuts contain uniquely large amount of vitamin C (2,500mlg). Such nuts can be penetrated by a common needle to check if the shell is not formed yet. The more ripe is the crop the less vitamin C it contains.

Alexander The Great ate several nuts to start his morning and he told his soldiers that this food doubles his energy. Today nuts are consumed by sportsmen and astronauts, They rejuvenate the tired body and give you vitality. The nuts are good to consume by men especially. Walnut was called in ancient time: a corn of Gods or a kernel of love. It was an aphrodisiac as it made males stronger. Many women used nuts to fire the passion and keep the love fire alive. Marquise De Pompadour , a lover of Ludowick XV was choosing food with lots of attention. Before meeting his lover she would drink a cup of hot chocolate with a piece of her favorite cake. The biscuit contained some bitter almonds. She also ate celery with apples and walnuts for salads. Marquise was the only who could take the king's boredom away. She had lots of role games in mind and entertained her lover very well. She also played instruments and sang just for her king. She looked after herself and always was attractive and charming. She used make up, lots of fashion outfits and of course, nuts, the endless source of love energy!

Priests of Babylon prohibited for the nuts to be consumed by the common people so people would be higher in their thoughts that the rulers. Walnut looks like human brain so the priests thought if you consume walnuts you become wise over the limit. Modern medicine calls walnut a celebration for the brain as if consumed regularly it enhances your memory. Greeks used it to heal headaches.

There are lots of legends about walnuts. One of it is about it antivenin use. Pontus King Mithridates was scared to be poisoned so he prepared a potion that would keep him safe from very vicious poisons. He crushed two walnuts and added two grapes with leaves (in other version they were fig fruit). The mixture had salt added to it. Every morning before consuming any food he ate this mixture. When Romans, headed by Pompous won the king, Pompous found the recipe of this mixture inside his palace. The King wrote: "I can not die peacefully from any poison because of my stupid precautions. I have not predicted the worst of poisons: the army, my kids and my friends betrayal, I, who had the knowledge of so many poisons and was kept safe from them..."

There were some very frightening beliefs about walnuts. There was a walnut tree growing in a small Italian village in 17th century. This tree was called The Witch Tree as there was no plants around that tree growing. The villagers were very angry and they burnt that tree. To their total surprise, the same tree grew from the ashes later.

Walnuts were considered to be witch trees in Medieval times. The oils from the tree leaves killed the life of the plants around the walnut tree. There is no grass under the tree. You can not sleep under this tree either. Your dreams will be very disturbing and you will wake up with very bad mood or with headache.

The king of all nut superstitions though is hazelnut. It is also called forest nut or funduk. It has a power to protect humans from the evil forces. Slavic people used hazelnut to protect them from thunderstorms and lightening. The amulets made out of hazelnut protect them from witchcraft , not only from the bad weather. In Bulgaria the burning hazelnut tree was used to scare away the mermaids from the cradles with new born babies. When the child was straggling to start walking he was slightly bitten with the cane rod with eth words: "Leave the hazelnut, take the dogwood fruit instead..." It was believed that the hazelnut was holding the child back to the world where all children come from. In Bulgaria hazelnut rods were used to heal from many sicknesses. The human was bitten with this rod or a piece of hazelnut wood was applied to the wound. Celt's legends talk about the magic hazelnut shrubs. If a man eats the bird that was pecking on the hazelnuts he would get wisdom and long life. It was believed to be God's plant, the wisdom crop and the crop of druids that gave them special powers.

Why nuts were valued so high? We know now that nuts are very healthy and are the way to longevity. It is a luxury food for your health, a real God's food for any age especially for those over 40 when youth seems to be passing by. All nuts are good for you. They contain lots of proteins as well as oil of highest quality that does not contain any cholesterol. That's the real secret of youth of all nuts.

Pistachio nuts literally translated from Iranian means: laughing nut. the nut got this name because of the little crack in its shell that reminds people of a nice smile. It is called magical nut for its high vitamin E contents and its longevity properties. Vitamin E is a beautiful skin vitamin. The Queen of Sheba prohibited the peasants to eat pistachios. It was a king's food. Many kings and queens favored this nut. These trees were grown in Semiramis Gardens and in King Nebuchadnezzar times.

Cedar takes an honored place in the kingdom of all nuts. People call it the tsar of all forests and the noble in green outfit. People of Babylon thought that cedar was looked after by the God named Ea. he was the God of Water, oceans and seas and the God of other deep waters, lakes and the God of Wisdom. The legend also says that the cedar trees grew in Paradise exclusively. When Adam died his son put three cedar nuts in his month and buried him. Three beautiful trees grew out of these three nuts: cedar tree, pine tree and cedar tree. Cedar is also a magic tree. Cedar tree life is 600-1200 years. Cedar is a good tree for meditation. You can spend three days in meditation under such tree. Each cedar needle projects lots of phytoncides on you so you sit under that tree like under the rain of energy and the cedar gives you this energy freely. Cedar nuts or pine nuts heal you heart and stomach. They make your immune system strong, they are also great for small kids growing fast: they are very good for your nervous and blood systems. It is also believed that cedar nuts can resurrect the dead.

In 17th century Ermak Timofeevich and his Kazaks fought with the tartar Khan Kuchum during the battles for Siberia. Khan Kuchum's army won one of the fights and the Russian side lots of killed and wounded people. The Kazak's had to retrieve and run away. Among many two of the Kazaks were left on the battle field as they were thought to be killed. Local scavengers came to check out the after the battle field and they noticed that these two Kazaks were still alive. they took both men to the village and healed them with the pine nut elixir. Cedar nut is man's nut. Cedar nut's diet made those Russian Siberian men with very strong health. A handful a day is considered as a quantity for your consumption.

Do you remember the famous Hoffmann's fairy tale Nutcracker? It is a very bright tale. It has so much symbolism. Each word and each sentence has its own sacred meaning. The purpose of the main character was to crack the hardest nut Krakatuk (Crackatook). The nut Krakatuk had such a hard shell that an eight-and-forty-pound cannon could drive over without breaking it. Nut symbolizes knowledge and enlightenment. It is also a symbol of living through the hardship of live and leaving them behind and transformation to a new quality of life.

Nuts in general have very hard shell. You can not eat them without applying any effort. Hard nut in German means hard task , complex conditions and circumstances. To solve the problem means cracking the nut. It is quite an equation and as a result: the physical look. The Nutcracker in the tale keeps his king's honor, belief in the future, his dignity and his confidence. He turns into a real prince, a hero, a chosen one and reunites with his inner self.

Let's take Cinderella now. She also found her path at the end of the fairy tale. Charles Perrault 's tale character, God Mother, was helping Cinderella on her journey. In Brothers Grimm's version of the same tale the fairy was in the image of a hazelnut tree. The hazelnut tree grows on her mother's grave and every time Cinderella is in doubt she runs to the tree to seek a good advice. It is a tree that makes all her wishes come true. As a result the girl becomes a queen and gets married to a handsome prince, the dream of every girl.

While searching for your dream the aim is not to turn into a Nutcracker forever. "Only your heart can see" as Antoine de Saint-Exupéry said, - "you can not see the truth with your eyes..." Do not look at the nuts as some obstacles but look deeper and understand what the essence of the nut brings you.

​Royal dessert is known very well to the Eastern people. It was served to the tables of sheikhs and sultans before as the ingredients were very expensive. It was prepared often before the dinner of the king with his main wife or before his visit of the harem. The dessert was easy to make and was very nutritional and healthy. It was believed this dish fires the passion, gives powers to men and makes the feelings sharper. The recipe consists of dates, poured honey in ratio 2:1 and added walnuts to the mix. It was a God-like dinner ending.

what men you should distance yourself from and which men are dangerous for relationship

1. men who do not define anything.
relationship especially are not defined. you can stay with him for many years but you are unsure what is going on. man is happy but you are not. you do not know who you are in relationship : a wife, a lover or a friend.

2. men who can not handle the issues.
a man who gives you his own problems and never helps you with your own. he is a kid in man’s body. he will remain a kid forever.

3. men with low responsibility level.
he says: "I am not ready for serious relationship" you are very useful for him but he is not for you.

4. men who do not relate anyhow to what you feel.
you share with him what you feel and what worries you but he closes up or says: "it is not my problem". he simply does not care about woman's feelings. everything you feel turns into zero. such man will never be able to support you emotionally in the future

5. men who do not hear you.
what ever you say to him he does not respond. nothing important touches him. such men never change.

6. men who humiliate you.
did you become happier, more feminine, more confident after you met him or not? if not , if you move, talk, think or do the things in the way he can not accept - just run away from him. he will always put you down and will never accepts your actions.

7. men who can not accept woman's life.
love is exchange of energy. if your man blocks your love, if he refuses to hug, kiss or touch you when you want the closeness,when you want to feel protection, he refuses you and says "men do not love these cuddles and other fluffy things" etc. do not trust his explanation - run away! he does not feel anything towards you

8. men with no aim in life.
he never warns you where he goes and he is constantly busy. the word busy comes up in every sentence . such man invites you to nowhere as he does not have a plan nor he has an aim.

9. married (to some one else) men.
never get close to such men. they are slow action mines. one day you will damage yourself on this mine. according to statistics men divorce their wives for lovers only in 5% of cases. it’s a casino with no winning chance.

10. men who have never got divorced to their mothers.
he will never be forgetting her: he will be in the kitchen, in the bathroom and in the bedroom with his mother. his mother will surround you too everywhere. he loves her more than you. mummy's son is not your man . let him get divorced with his mummy and then he can come back to you. the man who mentions his mum often is a dangerous man. you can alternatively send him to his mum’s tits for milk.

11. greedy men.
he can not buy anything for you but he serves himself very well and generously. he never buys you flowers but he always has lots of cigarettes in his pockets

12. men who owe to everyone : money money money...
he borrows from everyone, he is always in financial troubles. he owes to the bank, to his parents, to all his friends, to his brothers and sisters etc.. he can not serve himself nor he will serve you.. you can not save him always with your investments , you will have some hope but the future will never come.

13. men-manipulators.
he will order you around, he will force you to make decisions that you would not be able to accept. he wants something and by manipulation he will convince you to go his way. such man needs to feel he is a macho man. he will always tell you: “you are so rich and I am so poor, so humble... do you love me for something else?"

14. unappreciated geniuses.
he complains non stop that he is not born in the right town, right time and right country. no one understands him and no one sees how smart he is. he is talking rubbish sitting on the couch . he is a genius and everyone is garbage, you will always be made guilty in such relationship for anything . he might be a genius for you but not for the world that does not hear him as he is always on the couch. stay away from "geniuses".

15. men-moths.
he does not need anything: not money, nor car or house . there is nothing important for him. he might not be interested to be successful in his career or personal development but when he makes you a gift, he will remember this gift for many years... he will be asking you: "do you remember? my present was the best..." he will never appreciate what you did for him. . you can say 100-thank-yous for him but it will never be enough.

16. cunning f"its.
he buys everything in his name even when you are married. ask him straight questions. cunning f*it always takes a woman in his live with fear: he is afraid to be ripped off. he will never share anything with you. there is no trust in relationship. never live in fear for money. it is exhausting. not mature men do this

17. half-way men.
he says: "you pay for this, I pay for that." when you will pregnant or you will stay with kids at home he will neglect you as you will not bring money in the family. you will be his slave forever. it will be the end of relationship too..the result - is your depression. half-way-man warns you at the beginning that this relationship will be a downfall for you. now , before marriage, you still see his "light form", when you marry him - it will be a "heavy form". everything will grow out of proportions .

18. men-bosses.
he thinks that woman's place is in the kitchen. such man is usually possessive. such man locks his woman inside the house, moves with her to another city of country where she does not know anyone and does not have friend. he will not let her out from the house for months with many excuses. beware of a man who locks you inside the cage!

19. Ostap Bender (crook-dealer: real or pretending to be real).
he makes everything to be very important around him . he is very busy, he never has time for you as he is always at the VIP meetings,with big boys and huge bosses, he is always at some events that do not mean anything and that do not end up with anything. ask him what he does in details. there is no result not from any meeting. there is no money, there is nothing. he is either dumb or he is wasting his time. BTW, big boys never meet such men. such men think they are important but they are nothing.

20. men-catastrophe.
he breaks, damages and loses everything every day. he gets into accidents, he is never on time meeting with you. these men are disasters. it will only get worse with marriage.

21. men who forget their own kids.
pay attention how your man relates to his kids. does he care about what they eat and how they sleep? if there is nothing on this subject in his mind do not listen to his excuses.

22. men-narcissists (men-perverts)
let's talk about it separately as it is a long conversation.
looks like I covered all men types...
may be there is just one man left on Earth who is not that, the above!
girls , be smart. grow and listen, observe. observe ... and I say it mainly to myself .

A Course In Miracles: final lessons...

LESSONS 361 TO 365
This Holy Instant Would I Give To You. 
Be You In Charge. For I Would Follow You, 
Certain That Your Direction Gives Me Peace.
And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son.
Picture
Epilogue
This course is a beginning, not an end. Your Friend goes with you. You are not alone. No one who calls on Him can call in vain. Whatever troubles you, be certain that He has the answer, and will gladly give it to you, if you simply turn to Him and ask it of Him. He will not withhold all answers that you need for anything that seems to trouble you. He knows the way to solve all problems, and resolve all doubts. His certainty is yours. You need but ask it of Him, and it will be given you.
You are as certain of arriving home as is the pathway of the sun laid down before it rises, after it has set, and in the half-lit hours in between. Indeed, your pathway is more certain still. For it can not be possible to change the course of those whom God has called to Him. Therefore obey your will, and follow Him Whom you accepted as your voice, to speak of what you really want and really need. His is the Voice for God and also yours. And thus He speaks of freedom and of truth.
No more specific lessons are assigned, for there is no more need of them. Henceforth, hear but the Voice for God and for your Self when you retire from the world, to seek reality instead. He will direct your efforts, telling you exactly what to do, how to direct your mind, and when to come to Him in silence, asking for His sure direction and His certain Word. His is the Word that God has given you. His is the Word you chose to be your own.
And now I place you in His hands, to be His faithful follower, with Him as Guide through every difficulty and all pain that you may think is real. Nor will He give you pleasures that will pass away, for He gives only the eternal and the good. Let Him prepare you further. He has earned your trust by speaking daily to you of your Father and your brother and your Self. He will continue. Now you walk with Him, as certain as is He of where you go; as sure as He of how you should proceed; as confident as He is of the goal, and of your safe arrival in the end.
The end is certain, and the means as well. To this we say “Amen.” You will be told exactly what God wills for you each time there is a choice to make. And He will speak for God and for your Self, thus making sure that hell will claim you not, and that each choice you make brings Heaven nearer to your reach. And so we walk with Him from this time on, and turn to Him for guidance and for peace and sure direction. Joy attends our way. For we go homeward to an open door which God has held unclosed to welcome us.
We trust our ways to Him and say “Amen.” In peace we will continue in His way, and trust all things to Him. In confidence we wait His answers, as we ask His Will in everything we do. He loves God’s Son as we would love him. And He teaches us how to behold him through His eyes, and love him as He does. You do not walk alone. God’s angels hover near and all about. His Love surrounds you, and of this be sure; that I will never leave you comfortless.

A Course In Miracles: Final Lessons

22/12/2018

0 Comments

 
​Final Lessons - Introduction
Our final lessons will be left as free of words as possible. We use them but at the beginning of our practicing, and only to remind us that we seek to go beyond them. Let us turn to Him Who leads the way and makes our footsteps sure. To Him we leave these lessons, as to Him we give our lives henceforth. For we would not return again to the belief in sin that made the world seem ugly and unsafe, attacking and destroying, dangerous in all its ways, and treacherous beyond the hope of trust and the escape from pain.
His is the only way to find the peace that God has given us. It is His way that everyone must travel in the end, because it is this ending God Himself appointed. In the dream of time it seems to be far off. And yet, in truth, it is already here; already serving us as gracious guidance in the way to go. Let us together follow in the way that truth points out to us. And let us be the leaders of our many brothers who are seeking for the way, but find it not.
And to this purpose let us dedicate our minds, directing all our thoughts to serve the function of salvation. Unto us the aim is given to forgive the world. It is the goal that God has given us. It is His ending to the dream we seek, and not our own. For all that we forgive we will not fail to recognize as part of God Himself. And thus His memory is given back, completely and complete.
It is our function to remember Him on earth, as it is given us to be His Own completion in reality. So let us not forget our goal is shared, for it is that remembrance which contains the memory of God, and points the way to Him and to the Heaven of His peace. And shall we not forgive our brother, who can offer this to us? He is the way, the truth and life that shows the way to us. In him resides salvation, offered us through our forgiveness, given unto him.
We will not end this year without the gift our Father promised to His holy Son. We are forgiven now. And we are saved from all the wrath we thought belonged to God, and found it was a dream. We are restored to sanity, in which we understand that anger is insane, attack is mad, and vengeance merely foolish fantasy. We have been saved from wrath because we learned we were mistaken. Nothing more than that. And is a father angry at his son because he failed to understand the truth?
We come in honesty to God and say we did not understand, and ask Him to help us to learn His lessons, through the Voice of His Own Teacher. Would He hurt His Son? Or would He rush to answer him, and say, “This is My Son, and all I have is his”? Be certain He will answer thus, for these are His Own Words to you. And more than that can no one ever have, for in these Words is all there is, and all that there will be throughout all time and in eternity.

LESSON 356
Sickness Is But Another Name For Sin. 
Healing Is But Another Name For God. 
The Miracle Is Thus A Call To Him.
Father, You promised You would never fail to answer any call Your Son might make to You. It does not matter where he is, what seems to be his problem, nor what he believes he has become. He is Your Son, and You will answer him. The miracle reflects Your Love, and thus it answers him. Your Name replaces every thought of sin, and who is sinless cannot suffer pain. Your Name gives answer to Your Son, because to call Your Name is but to call his own.
Picture
LESSON 357
Truth Answers Every Call We Make To God, 
Responding First With Miracles, 
And Then Returning Unto Us To Be Itself.
Forgiveness, truth’s reflection, tells me how to offer miracles, and thus escape the prison house in which I think I live. Your holy Son is pointed out to me, first in my brother; then in me. Your Voice instructs me patiently to hear Your Word, and give as I receive. And as I look upon Your Son today, I hear Your Voice instructing me to find the way to You, as You appointed that the way shall be:
“Behold his sinlessness, and be you healed.”
Picture
LESSON 358
No Call To God Can Be Unheard Nor Left Unanswered. 
And Of This I Can Be Sure; 
His Answer Is The One I Really Want.
You Who remember what I really am alone remember what I really want. You speak for God, and so You speak for me. And what You give me comes from God Himself. Your Voice, my Father, then is mine as well, and all I want is what You offer me, in just the form You choose that it be mine. Let me remember all I do not know, and let my voice be still, remembering. But let me not forget Your Love and care, keeping Your promise to Your Son in my awareness always. Let me not forget myself is nothing, but my Self is all.
Picture
LESSON 359
God’s Answer Is Some Form Of Peace. All Pain Is Healed; 
All Misery Replaced With Joy. All Prison Doors Are Opened 
And All Sin Is Understood As Merely A Mistake.
Father, today we will forgive Your world, and let creation be Your Own. We have misunderstood all things. But we have not made sinners of the holy Sons of God. What You created sinless so abides forever and forever. Such are we. And we rejoice to learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us. Sin is impossible, and on this fact forgiveness rests upon a certain base more solid than the shadow world we see. Help us forgive, for we would be redeemed. Help us forgive, for we would be at peace.
Picture
LESSON 360
Peace Be To Me, The Holy Son Of God. 
Peace To My Brother, Who Is One With Me. 
Let All The World Be Blessed With Peace Through Us.
Father, it is Your peace that I would give, receiving it of You. I am Your Son, forever just as You created me, for the Great Rays remain forever still and undisturbed within me. I would reach to them in silence and in certainty, for nowhere else can certainty be found. Peace be to me, and peace to all the world. In holiness were we created, and in holiness do we remain. Your Son is like to You in perfect sinlessness. And with this thought we gladly say “Amen.”

LESSON 352
Judgment And Love Are Opposites. 
From One Come All The Sorrows Of The World 
But From The Other Comes The Peace Of God Himself.
Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone, and judges not. Through this I come to You. Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind. Yet love, reflected in forgiveness here, reminds me You have given me a way to find Your peace again. I am redeemed when I elect to follow in this way. You have not left me comfortless. I have within me both the memory of You, and One Who leads me to it. Father, I would hear Your Voice and find Your peace today. For I would love my own Identity, and find in It the memory of You.
Picture
LESSON 353
My Eyes, My Tongue, My Hands, My Feet 
Today Have But One Purpose; 
To Be Given Christ To Use To Bless The World With Miracles.
Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ, to use in any way that best will serve the purpose that I share with Him. Nothing is mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose. Thus has learning come almost to its appointed end. A while I work with Him to serve His purpose. Then I lose myself in my Identity, and recognize that Christ is but my Self.
Picture
LESSON 354
We Stand Together, Christ And I, 
In Peace And Certainty Of Purpose. 
And In Him Is His Creator, As He Is In Me.
My oneness with the Christ establishes me as Your Son, beyond the reach of time, and wholly free of every law but Yours. I have no self except the Christ in me. I have no purpose but His Own. And He is like His Father. Thus must I be one with You as well as Him. For who is Christ except Your Son as You created Him? And what am I except the Christ in me?
Picture
LESSON 355
There Is No End To All The Peace And Joy, 
And All The Miracles That I Will Give, 
When I Accept God’s Word. Why Not Today?
Why should I wait, my Father, for the joy You promised me? For You will keep Your Word You gave Your Son in exile. I am sure my treasure waits for me, and I need but reach out my hand to find it. Even now my fingers touch it. It is very close. I need not wait an instant more to be at peace forever. It is You I choose, and my Identity along with You. Your Son would be Himself, and know You as his Father and Creator, and his Love.

LESSON 340
I Can Be Free Of Suffering Today.
Father, I thank You for today, and for the freedom I am certain it will bring. This day is holy, for today Your Son will be redeemed. His suffering is done. For he will hear Your Voice directing him to find Christ’s vision through forgiveness, and be free forever from all suffering. Thanks for today, my Father. I was born into this world but to achieve this day, and what it holds in joy and freedom for Your holy Son and for the world he made, which is released along with him today.
Be glad today! Be glad! There is no room for anything but joy and thanks today. Our Father has redeemed His Son this day. Not one of us but will be saved today. Not one who will remain in fear, and none the Father will not gather to Himself, awake in Heaven in the Heart of Love.
Picture
What is a Miracle?
A miracle is a correction. It does not create, nor really change at all. It merely looks on devastation, and reminds the mind that what it sees is false. It undoes error, but does not attempt to go beyond perception, nor exceed the function of forgiveness. Thus it stays within time’s limits. Yet it paves the way for the return of timelessness and love’s awakening, for fear must slip away under the gentle remedy it brings.
A miracle contains the gift of grace, for it is given and received as one. And thus it illustrates the law of truth the world does not obey, because it fails entirely to understand its ways. A miracle inverts perception which was upside down before, and thus it ends the strange distortions that were manifest. Now is perception open to the truth. Now is forgiveness seen as justified.
Forgiveness is the home of miracles. The eyes of Christ deliver them to all they look upon in mercy and in love. Perception stands corrected in His sight, and what was meant to curse has come to bless. Each lily of forgiveness offers all the world the silent miracle of love. And each is laid before the Word of God, upon the universal altar to Creator and creation in the light of perfect purity and endless joy.
The miracle is taken first on faith, because to ask for it implies the mind has been made ready to conceive of what it cannot see and does not understand. Yet faith will bring its witnesses to show that what it rested on is really there. And thus the miracle will justify your faith in it, and show it rested on a world more real than what you saw before; a world redeemed from what you thought was there.
Miracles fall like drops of healing rain from Heaven on a dry and dusty world, where starved and thirsty creatures come to die. Now they have water. Now the world is green. And everywhere the signs of life spring up, to show that what is born can never die, for what has life has immortality.
Picture
LESSON 341
I Can Attack But My Own Sinlessness, 
And It Is Only That Which Keeps Me Safe.
Father, Your Son is holy. I am he on whom You smile in love and tenderness so dear and deep and still the universe smiles back on You, and shares Your Holiness. How pure, how safe, how holy, then, are we, abiding in Your Smile, with all Your Love bestowed upon us, living one with You, in brotherhood and Fatherhood complete; in sinlessness so perfect that the Lord of Sinlessness conceives us as His Son, a universe of Thought completing Him.
Let us not, then, attack our sinlessness, for it contains the Word of God to us. And in its kind reflection we are saved.
Picture
LESSON 342
I Let Forgiveness Rest Upon All Things, 
For Thus Forgiveness Will Be Given Me.
I thank You, Father, for Your plan to save me from the hell I made. It is not real. And You have given me the means to prove its unreality to me. The key is in my hand, and I have reached the door beyond which lies the end of dreams. I stand before the gate of Heaven, wondering if I should enter in and be at home. Let me not wait again today. Let me forgive all things, and let creation be as You would have it be and as it is. Let me remember that I am Your Son, and opening the door at last, forget illusions in the blazing light of truth, as memory of You returns to me.
Brother, forgive me now. I come to you to take you home with me. And as we go, the world goes with us on our way to God.
Picture
LESSON 343
I Am Not Asked To Make A Sacrifice 
To Find The Mercy And The Peace Of God.
The end of suffering can not be loss. The gift of everything can be but gain. You only give. You never take away. And You created me to be like You, so sacrifice becomes impossible for me as well as You. I, too, must give. And so all things are given unto me forever and forever. As I was created I remain. Your Son can make no sacrifice, for he must be complete, having the function of completing You. I am complete because I am Your Son. I cannot lose, for I can only give, and everything is mine eternally.
The mercy and the peace of God are free. Salvation has no cost. It is a gift that must be freely given and received. And it is this that we would learn today.
Picture
LESSON 344
Today I Learn The Law Of Love; 
That What I Give My Brother Is My Gift To Me.
This is Your law, my Father, not my own. I have not understood what giving means, and thought to save what I desired for myself alone. And as I looked upon the treasure that I thought I had, I found an empty place where nothing ever was or is or will be. Who can share a dream? And what can an illusion offer me? Yet he whom I forgive will give me gifts beyond the worth of anything on earth. Let my forgiven brothers fill my store with Heaven’s treasures, which alone are real. Thus is the law of love fulfilled. And thus Your Son arises and returns to You.
How near we are to one another, as we go to God. How near is He to us. How close the ending of the dream of sin, and the redemption of the Son of God.
Picture
LESSON 345
I Offer Only Miracles Today, 
For I Would Have Them Be Returned To Me.
Father, a miracle reflects Your gifts to me, Your Son. And every one I give returns to me, reminding me the law of love is universal. Even here, it takes a form which can be recognized and seen to work. The miracles I give are given back in just the form I need to help me with the problems I perceive. Father, in Heaven it is different, for there, there are no needs. But here on earth, the miracle is closer to Your gifts than any other gift that I can give. Then let me give this gift alone today, which, born of true forgiveness, lights the way that I must travel to remember You.
Peace to all seeking hearts today. The light has come to offer miracles to bless the tired world. It will find rest today, for we will offer what we have received.
Picture
LESSON 346
Today The Peace Of God Envelops Me, 
And I Forget All Things Except His Love.
Father, I wake today with miracles correcting my perception of all things. And so begins the day I share with You as I will share eternity, for time has stepped aside today. I do not seek the things of time, and so I will not look upon them. What I seek today transcends all laws of time and things perceived in time. I would forget all things except Your Love. I would abide in You, and know no laws except Your law of love. And I would find the peace which You created for Your Son, forgetting all the foolish toys I made as I behold Your glory and my own.
And when the evening comes today, we will remember nothing but the peace of God. For we will learn today what peace is ours, when we forget all things except God’s Love.
Picture
LESSON 347
Anger Must Come From Judgment. 
Judgment Is The Weapon I Would Use Against Myself, 
To Keep The Miracle Away From Me.
Father, I want what goes against my will, and do not want what is my will to have. Straighten my mind, my Father. It is sick. But You have offered freedom, and I choose to claim Your gift today. And so I give all judgment to the One You gave to me to judge for me. He sees what I behold, and yet He knows the truth. He looks on pain, and yet He understands it is not real, and in His understanding it is healed. He gives the miracles my dreams would hide from my awareness. Let Him judge today. I do not know my will, but He is sure it is Your Own. And He will speak for me, and call Your miracles to come to me.
Listen today. Be very still, and hear the gentle Voice for God assuring you that He has judged you as the Son He loves.
Picture
LESSON 348
I Have No Cause For Anger Or For Fear, 
For You Surround Me. And In Every Need 
That I Perceive, Your Grace Suffices Me.
Father, let me remember You are here, and I am not alone. Surrounding me is everlasting Love. I have no cause for anything except the perfect peace and joy I share with You. What need have I for anger or for fear? Surrounding me is perfect safety. Can I be afraid, when Your eternal promise goes with me? Surrounding me is perfect sinlessness. What can I fear, when You created me in holiness as perfect as Your Own?
God’s grace suffices us in everything that He would have us do. And only that we choose to be our will as well as His.
Picture
LESSON 349
Today I Let Christ’s Vision Look Upon 
All Things For Me And Judge Them Not, 
But Give Each One A Miracle Of Love Instead.
So would I liberate all things I see, and give to them the freedom that I seek. For thus do I obey the law of love, and give what I would find and make my own. It will be given me, because I have chosen it as the gift I want to give. Father, Your gifts are mine. Each one that I accept gives me a miracle to give. And giving as I would receive, I learn Your healing miracles belong to me.
Our Father knows our needs. He gives us grace to meet them all. And so we trust in Him to send us miracles to bless the world, and heal our minds as we return to Him.
Picture
LESSON 350
Miracles Mirror God’s Eternal Love.
To Offer Them Is To Remember Him,
And Through His Memory To Save The World.
What we forgive becomes a part of us, as we perceive ourselves. The Son of God incorporates all things within himself as You created him. Your memory depends on his forgiveness. What he is, is unaffected by his thoughts. But what he looks upon is their direct result. Therefore, my Father, I would turn to You. Only Your memory will set me free. And only my forgiveness teaches me to let Your memory return to me, and give it to the world in thankfulness.

And as we gather miracles from Him, we will indeed be grateful. For as we remember Him, His Son will be restored to us in the reality of Love.
Picture
What Am I. 
​I am God’s Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love. In me is His creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life. In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposite. I am the holy home of God Himself. I am the Heaven where His Love resides. I am His holy Sinlessness Itself, for in my purity abides His Own.
Our use for words is almost over now. Yet in the final days of this one year we gave to God together, you and I, we found a single purpose that we shared. And thus you joined with me, so what I am are you as well. The truth of what we are is not for words to speak of nor describe. Yet we can realize our function here, and words can speak of this and teach it, too, if we exemplify the words in us.
We are the bringers of salvation. We accept our part as saviors of the world, which through our joint forgiveness is redeemed. And this, our gift, is therefore given us. We look on everyone as brother, and perceive all things as kindly and as good. We do not seek a function that is past the gate of Heaven. Knowledge will return when we have done our part. We are concerned only with giving welcome to the truth.
Ours are the eyes through which Christ’s vision sees a world redeemed from every thought of sin. Ours are the ears that hear the Voice for God proclaim the world as sinless. Ours the minds that join together as we bless the world. And from the oneness that we have attained we call to all our brothers, asking them to share our peace and consummate our joy.
We are the holy messengers of God who speak for Him, and carrying His Word to everyone whom He has sent to us, we learn that it is written on our hearts. And thus our minds are changed about the aim for which we came, and which we seek to serve. We bring glad tidings to the Son of God, who thought he suffered. Now is he redeemed. And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open before him, he will enter in and disappear into the Heart of God.

Picture
LESSON 351
My Sinless Brother Is My Guide To Peace. 
My Sinful Brother Is My Guide To Pain. 
And Which I Choose To See I Will Behold.Who is my brother but Your holy Son? And if I see him sinful I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son of God; alone and friendless in a fearful world. Yet this perception is a choice I make, and can relinquish. I can also see my brother sinless, as Your holy Son. And with this choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting Comforter and Friend beside me, and my way secure and clear. Choose, then, for me, my Father, through Your Voice. For He alone gives judgment in Your Name.

LESSON 337
My Sinlessness Protects Me From All Harm.
My sinlessness ensures me perfect peace, eternal safety, everlasting love, freedom forever from all thought of loss; complete deliverance from suffering. And only happiness can be my state, for only happiness is given me. What must I do to know all this is mine? I must accept Atonement for myself, and nothing more. God has already done all things that need be done. And I must learn I need do nothing of myself, for I need but accept my Self, my sinlessness, created for me, now already mine, to feel God’s Love protecting me from harm, to understand my Father loves His Son; to know I am the Son my Father loves.
You Who created me in sinlessness are not mistaken about what I am. I was mistaken when I thought I sinned, but I accept Atonement for myself. Father, my dream is ended now. Amen.
Picture
LESSON 338
I am affected only by my thoughts.
1. It needs but this to let salvation come to all the world. For in this single thought is everyone released at last from fear. Now has he learned that no one frightens him, and nothing can endanger him. He has no enemies, and he is safe from all external things. His thoughts can frighten him, but since these thoughts belong to him alone, he has the power to change them and exchange each fear thought for a happy thought of love. He crucified himself. Yet God has planned that His beloved Son will be redeemed.
2. Your plan is sure, my Father,—only Yours. All other plans will fail. And I will have thoughts that will frighten me, until I learn that You have given me the only Thought that leads me to salvation. Mine alone will fail, and lead me nowhere. But the Thought You gave me promises to lead me home, because it holds Your promise to Your Son.
Picture
LESSON 339
I Will Receive Whatever I Request.
No one desires pain. But he can think that pain is pleasure. No one would avoid his happiness. But he can think that joy is painful, threatening and dangerous. Everyone will receive what he requests. But he can be confused indeed about the things he wants; the state he would attain. What can he then request that he would want when he receives it? He has asked for what will frighten him, and bring him suffering. Let us resolve today to ask for what we really want, and only this, that we may spend this day in fearlessness, without confusing pain with joy, or fear with love.
Father, this is Your day. It is a day in which I would do nothing by myself, but hear Your Voice in everything I do; requesting only what You offer me, accepting only Thoughts You share with me

LESSON 326
I Am Forever An Effect Of God.
Father, I was created in Your Mind, a holy Thought that never left its home. I am forever Your Effect, and You forever and forever are my Cause. As You created me I have remained. Where You established me I still abide. And all Your attributes abide in me, because it is Your Will to have a Son so like his Cause that Cause and Its Effect are indistinguishable. Let me know that I am an Effect of God, and so I have the power to create like You. And as it is in Heaven, so on earth. Your plan I follow here, and at the end I know that You will gather Your effects into the tranquil Heaven of Your Love, where earth will vanish, and all separate thoughts unite in glory as the Son of God.
Let us today behold earth disappear, at first transformed, and then, forgiven, fade entirely into God’s holy Will.
Picture
LESSON 327
I Need But Call And You Will Answer Me.
I am not asked to take salvation on the basis of an unsupported faith. For God has promised He will hear my call, and answer me Himself. Let me but learn from my experience that this is true, and faith in Him must surely come to me. This is the faith that will endure, and take me farther and still farther on the road that leads to Him. For thus I will be sure that He has not abandoned me and loves me still, awaiting but my call to give me all the help I need to come to Him.
Father, I thank You that Your promises will never fail in my experience, if I but test them out. Let me attempt therefore to try them, and to judge them not. Your Word is one with You. You give the means whereby conviction comes, and surety of Your abiding Love is gained at last.
Picture
LESSON 328
I Choose The Second Place To Gain The First.
What seems to be the second place is first, for all things we perceive are upside down until we listen to the Voice for God. It seems that we will gain autonomy but by our striving to be separate, and that our independence from the rest of God’s creation is the way in which salvation is obtained. Yet all we find is sickness, suffering and loss and death. This is not what our Father wills for us, nor is there any second to His Will. To join with His is but to find our own. And since our will is His, it is to Him that we must go to recognize our will.
There is no will but Yours. And I am glad that nothing I imagine contradicts what You would have me be. It is Your Will that I be wholly safe, eternally at peace. And happily I share that Will which You, my Father, gave as part of me.
Picture
LESSON 329
I Have Already Chosen What You Will.
Father, I thought I wandered from Your Will, defied it, broke its laws, and interposed a second will more powerful than Yours. Yet what I am in truth is but Your Will, extended and extending. This am I, and this will never change. As You are One, so am I one with You. And this I chose in my creation, where my will became forever one with Yours. That choice was made for all eternity. It cannot change, and be in opposition to itself. Father, my will is Yours. And I am safe, untroubled and serene, in endless joy, because it is Your Will that it be so.
Today we will accept our union with each other and our Source. We have no will apart from His, and all of us are one because His Will is shared by all of us. Through it we recognize that we are one. Through it we find our way at last to God.
Picture
LESSON 330
I Will Not Hurt Myself Again Today.
Let us this day accept forgiveness as our only function. Why should we attack our minds, and give them images of pain? Why should we teach them they are powerless, when God holds out His power and His Love, and bids them take what is already theirs? The mind that is made willing to accept God’s gifts has been restored to spirit, and extends its freedom and its joy, as is the Will of God united with its own. The Self Which God created cannot sin, and therefore cannot suffer. Let us choose today that He be our Identity, and thus escape forever from all things the dream of fear appears to offer us.
Father, Your Son can not be hurt. And if we think we suffer, we but fail to know our one Identity we share with You. We would return to It today, to be made free forever from all our mistakes, and to be saved from what we thought we were.
Picture
What is the Ego?
The ego is idolatry; the sign of limited and separated self, born in a body, doomed to suffer and to end its life in death. It is the “will” that sees the Will of God as enemy, and takes a form in which it is denied. The ego is the “proof” that strength is weak and love is fearful, life is really death, and what opposes God alone is true.
The ego is insane. In fear it stands beyond the Everywhere, apart from All, in separation from the Infinite. In its insanity it thinks it has become a victor over God Himself. And in its terrible autonomy it “sees” the Will of God has been destroyed. It dreams of punishment, and trembles at the figures in its dreams; its enemies, who seek to murder it before it can ensure its safety by attacking them.
The Son of God is egoless. What can he know of madness and the death of God, when he abides in Him? What can he know of sorrow and of suffering, when he lives in eternal joy? What can he know of fear and punishment, of sin and guilt, of hatred and attack, when all there is surrounding him is everlasting peace, forever conflict-free and undisturbed, in deepest silence and tranquility?
To know reality is not to see the ego and its thoughts, its works, its acts, its laws and its beliefs, its dreams, its hopes, its plans for its salvation, and the cost belief in it entails. In suffering, the price for faith in it is so immense that crucifixion of the Son of God is offered daily at its darkened shrine, and blood must flow before the altar where its sickly followers prepare to die.
Yet will one lily of forgiveness change the darkness into light; the altar to illusions to the shrine of Life Itself. And peace will be restored forever to the holy minds which God created as His Son, His dwelling place, His joy, His love, completely His, completely one with Him

Picture
LESSON 331
There Is No Conflict, For My Will Is Yours.
How foolish, Father, to believe Your Son could cause himself to suffer! Could he make a plan for his damnation, and be left without a certain way to his release? You love me, Father. You could never leave me desolate, to die within a world of pain and cruelty. How could I think that Love has left Itself? There is no will except the Will of Love. Fear is a dream, and has no will that can conflict with Yours. Conflict is sleep, and peace awakening. Death is illusion; life, eternal truth. There is no opposition to Your Will. There is no conflict, for my will is Yours.
Forgiveness shows us that God’s Will is one, and that we share it. Let us look upon the holy sights forgiveness shows today, that we may find the peace of God. Amen.
Picture
LESSON 332
Fear Binds The World. Forgiveness Sets It Free.
The ego makes illusions. Truth undoes its evil dreams by shining them away. Truth never makes attack. It merely is. And by its presence is the mind recalled from fantasies, awaking to the real. Forgiveness bids this presence enter in, and take its rightful place within the mind. Without forgiveness is the mind in chains, believing in its own futility. Yet with forgiveness does the light shine through the dream of darkness, offering it hope, and giving it the means to realize the freedom that is its inheritance.
We would not bind the world again today. Fear holds it prisoner. And yet Your Love has given us the means to set it free. Father, we would release it now. For as we offer freedom, it is given us. And we would not remain as prisoners, while You are holding freedom out to us.
Picture
LESSON 333
Forgiveness Ends The Dream Of Conflict Here.
Conflict must be resolved. It cannot be evaded, set aside, denied, disguised, seen somewhere else, called by another name, or hidden by deceit of any kind, if it would be escaped. It must be seen exactly as it is, where it is thought to be, in the reality which has been given it, and with the purpose that the mind accorded it. For only then are its defenses lifted, and the truth can shine upon it as it disappears.
Father, forgiveness is the light You chose to shine away all conflict and all doubt, and light the way for our return to You. No light but this can end our evil dream. No light but this can save the world. For this alone will never fail in anything, being Your gift to Your beloved Son.
Picture
LESSON 334
Today I Claim The Gifts Forgiveness Gives.
I will not wait another day to find the treasures that my Father offers me. Illusions are all vain, and dreams are gone even while they are woven out of thoughts that rest on false perceptions. Let me not accept such meager gifts again today. God’s Voice is offering the peace of God to all who hear and choose to follow Him. This is my choice today. And so I go to find the treasures God has given me.
I seek but the eternal. For Your Son can be content with nothing less than this. What, then, can be his solace but what You are offering to his bewildered mind and frightened heart, to give him certainty and bring him peace? Today I would behold my brother sinless. This Your Will for me, for so will I behold my sinlessness.
Picture
Лёва :)
LESSON 335
I Choose To See My Brother’s Sinlessness.
Forgiveness is a choice. I never see my brother as he is, for that is far beyond perception. What I see in him is merely what I wish to see, because it stands for what I want to be the truth. It is to this alone that I respond, however much I seem to be impelled by outside happenings. I choose to see what I would look upon, and this I see, and only this. My brother’s sinlessness shows me that I would look upon my own. And I will see it, having chosen to behold my brother in its holy light.
What could restore Your memory to me, except to see my brother’s sinlessness? His holiness reminds me that he was created one with me, and like myself. In him I find my Self, and in Your Son I find the memory of You as well.
Picture
LESSON 336
Forgiveness Lets Me Know That Minds Are Joined.
Forgiveness is the means appointed for perception’s ending. Knowledge is restored after perception first is changed, and then gives way entirely to what remains forever past its highest reach. For sights and sounds, at best, can serve but to recall the memory that lies beyond them all. Forgiveness sweeps away distortions, and opens the hidden altar to the truth. Its lilies shine into the mind, and call it to return and look within, to find what it has vainly sought without. For here, and only here, is peace of mind restored, for this the dwelling place of God Himself.
In quiet may forgiveness wipe away my dreams of separation and of sin. Then let me, Father, look within, and find Your promise of my sinlessness is kept; Your Word remains unchanged within my mind, Your Love is still abiding in my heart.

A Course In Miracles: Lessons 323-325

LESSON 323
I Gladly Make The “Sacrifice” Of Fear.
Here is the only “sacrifice” You ask of Your beloved Son; You ask him to give up all suffering, all sense of loss and sadness, all anxiety and doubt, and freely let Your Love come streaming in to his awareness, healing him of pain, and giving him Your Own eternal joy. Such is the “sacrifice” You ask of me, and one I gladly make; the only “cost” of restoration of Your memory to me, for the salvation of the world.
And as we pay the debt we owe to truth, - a debt that merely is the letting go of self-deceptions and of images we worshipped falsely - truth returns to us in wholeness and in joy. We are deceived no longer. Love has now returned to our awareness. And we are at peace again, for fear has gone and only love remains.
Picture
I LOVE GIRAFFES - I FIND THEM "HAUTE COUTURES" OF THE HORSES ( sometimes even literally)
LESSON 324
I Merely Follow, For I Would Not Lead.
Father, You are the One Who gave the plan for my salvation to me. You have set the way I am to go, the role to take, and every step in my appointed path. I cannot lose the way. I can but choose to wander off a while, and then return. Your loving Voice will always call me back, and guide my feet aright. My brothers all can follow in the way I lead them. Yet I merely follow in the way to You, as You direct me and would have me go.
So let us follow One Who knows the way. We need not tarry, and we cannot stray except an instant from His loving hand. We walk together, for we follow Him. And it is He Who makes the ending sure, and guarantees a safe returning home.
Picture
LESSON 325
All Things I Think I See Reflect Ideas.
This is salvation’s keynote: What I see reflects a process in my mind, which starts with my idea of what I want. From there, the mind makes up an image of the thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find. These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed as real and guarded as one’s own. From insane wishes comes an insane world. From judgment comes a world condemned. And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world comes forth, with mercy for the holy Son of God, to offer him a kindly home where he can rest a while before he journeys on, and help his brothers walk ahead with him, and find the way to Heaven and to God.
Our Father, Your ideas reflect the truth, and mine apart from Yours but make up dreams. Let me behold what only Yours reflect, for Yours and Yours alone establish truth.

LESSON 317
I Follow In The Way Appointed Me.
I have a special place to fill; a role for me alone. Salvation waits until I take this part as what I choose to do. Until I make this choice, I am the slave of time and human destiny. But when I willingly and gladly go the way my Father’s plan appointed me to go, then will I recognize salvation is already here, already given all my brothers and already mine as well.
Father, Your way is what I choose today. Where it would lead me do I choose to go; what it would have me do I choose to do. Your way is certain, and the end secure. The memory of You awaits me there. And all my sorrows end in Your embrace, which You have promised to Your Son, who thought mistakenly that he had wandered from the sure protection of Your loving Arms.
Picture
LESSON 318
In Me Salvation’s Means And End Are One.
In me, God’s holy Son, are reconciled all parts of Heaven’s plan to save the world. What could conflict, when all the parts have but one purpose and one aim? How could there be a single part that stands alone, or one of more or less importance than the rest? I am the means by which God’s Son is saved, because salvation’s purpose is to find the sinlessness that God has placed in me. I was created as the thing I seek. I am the goal the world is searching for. I am God’s Son, His one eternal Love. I am salvation’s means and end as well.
Let me today, my Father, take the role You offer me in Your request that I accept Atonement for myself. For thus does what is thereby reconciled in me become as surely reconciled to You.
Picture
LESSON 319
I Came For The Salvation Of The World.
Here is a thought from which all arrogance has been removed, and only truth remains. For arrogance opposes truth. But when there is no arrogance the truth will come immediately, and fill up the space the ego left unoccupied by lies. Only the ego can be limited, and therefore it must seek for aims which are curtailed and limiting. The ego thinks that what one gains, totality must lose. And yet it is the Will of God I learn that what one gains is given unto all.
Father, Your Will is total. And the goal which stems from it shares its totality. What aim but the salvation of the world could You have given me? And what but this could be the Will my Self has shared with You?
Picture
LESSON 320
My Father Gives All Power Unto Me.
The Son of God is limitless. There are no limits on his strength, his peace, his joy, nor any attributes his Father gave in his creation. What he wills with his Creator and Redeemer must be done. His holy will can never be denied, because his Father shines upon his mind, and lays before it all the strength and love in earth and Heaven. I am he to whom all this is given. I am he in whom the power of my Father’s Will abides.
Your Will can do all things in me, and then extend to all the world as well through me. There is no limit on Your Will. And so all power has been given to Your Son.
Picture
What is Creation?
Creation is the sum of all God’s Thoughts, in number infinite, and everywhere without all limit. Only Love creates, and only like Itself. There was no time when all that It created was not there. Nor will there be a time when anything that It created suffers any loss. Forever and forever are God’s Thoughts exactly as they were and as they are, unchanged through time and after time is done.
God’s Thoughts are given all the power that their own Creator has. For He would add to Love by its extension. Thus His Son shares in creation, and must therefore share in power to create. What God has willed to be forever one will still be one when time is over; and will not be changed throughout the course of time, remaining as it was before the thought of time began.
Creation is the opposite of all illusions, for creation is the truth. Creation is the holy Son of God, for in creation is His Will complete in every aspect, making every part container of the Whole. Its oneness is forever guaranteed inviolate; forever held within His holy Will, beyond all possibility of harm, of separation, imperfection and of any spot upon its sinlessness.
We are creation; we the Sons of God. We seem to be discrete, and unaware of our eternal unity with Him. Yet back of all our doubts, past all our fears, there still is certainty. For Love remains with all Its Thoughts, Its sureness being theirs. God’s memory is in our holy minds, which know their oneness and their unity with their Creator. Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God’s Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but as God created us.
Our Father calls to us. We hear His Voice, and we forgive creation in the Name of its Creator, Holiness Itself, Whose holiness His Own creation shares; Whose holiness is still a part of us.
Picture
LESSON 321
Father, My Freedom Is In You Alone.
I did not understand what made me free, nor what my freedom is, nor where to look to find it. Father, I have searched in vain until I heard Your Voice directing me. Now I would guide myself no more. For I have neither made nor understood the way to find my freedom. But I trust in You. You Who endowed me with my freedom as Your holy Son will not be lost to me. Your Voice directs me, and the way to You is opening and clear to me at last. Father, my freedom is in You alone. Father, it is my will that I return.
Today we answer for the world, which will be freed along with us. How glad are we to find our freedom through the certain way our Father has established. And how sure is all the world’s salvation, when we learn our freedom can be found in God alone.
Picture
LESSON 322
I Can Give Up But What Was Never Real.
I sacrifice illusions; nothing more. And as illusions go I find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome, and in readiness to give God’s ancient messages to me. His memory abides in every gift that I receive of Him. And every dream serves only to conceal the Self Which is God’s only Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One Who still abides in Him forever, as He still abides in me.
Father, to You all sacrifice remains forever inconceivable. And so I cannot sacrifice except in dreams. As You created me, I can give up nothing You gave me. What You did not give has no reality. What loss can I anticipate except the loss of fear, and the return of love into my mind?

A Course In Miracles: Lessons 310-316

LESSON 310
In Fearlessness And Love I Spend Today.
This day, my Father, would I spend with You, as You have chosen all my days should be. And what I will experience is not of time at all. The joy that comes to me is not of days nor hours, for it comes from Heaven to Your Son. This day will be Your sweet reminder to remember You, Your gracious calling to Your holy Son, the sign Your grace has come to me, and that it is Your Will I be set free today.
We spend this day together, you and I. And all the world joins with us in our song of thankfulness and joy to Him Who gave salvation to us, and Who set us free. We are restored to peace and holiness. There is no room in us for fear today, for we have welcomed love into our hearts.
Picture
What is the Last Judgment?
Christ’s Second Coming gives the Son of God this gift: To hear the Voice for God proclaim that what is false is false, and what is true has never changed. And this the judgment is in which perception ends. At first you see a world that has accepted this as true, projected from a now corrected mind. And with this holy sight, perception gives a silent blessing and then disappears, its goal accomplished and its mission done.
The Final Judgment on the world contains no condemnation. For it sees the world as totally forgiven, without sin and wholly purposeless. Without a cause, and now without a function in Christ’s sight, it merely slips away to nothingness. There it was born, and there it ends as well. And all the figures in the dream in which the world began go with it. Bodies now are useless, and will therefore fade away, because the Son of God is limitless.
You who believed that God’s Last Judgment would condemn the world to hell along with you, accept this holy truth: God’s Judgment is the gift of the Correction He bestowed on all your errors, freeing you from them, and all effects they ever seemed to have. To fear God’s saving grace is but to fear complete release from suffering, return to peace, security and happiness, and union with your own Identity.
God’s Final Judgment is as merciful as every step in His appointed plan to bless His Son, and call him to return to the eternal peace He shares with him. Be not afraid of love. For it alone can heal all sorrow, wipe away all tears, and gently waken from his dream of pain the Son whom God acknowledges as His. Be not afraid of this. Salvation asks you give it welcome. And the world awaits your glad acceptance, which will set it free.
This is God’s Final Judgment: “You are still My holy Son, forever innocent, forever loving and forever loved, as limitless as your Creator, and completely changeless and forever pure. Therefore awaken and return to Me. I am your Father and you are My Son.”;

Picture
LESSON 311
I Judge All Things As I Would Have Them Be.
Judgment was made to be a weapon used against the truth. It separates what it is being used against, and sets it off as if it were a thing apart. And then it makes of it what you would have it be. It judges what it cannot understand, because it cannot see totality and therefore judges falsely. Let us not use it today, but make a gift of it to Him Who has a different use for it. He will relieve us of the agony of all the judgments we have made against ourselves, and re-establish peace of mind by giving us God’s Judgment of His Son.
Father, we wait with open mind today, to hear Your Judgment of the Son You love. We do not know him, and we cannot judge. And so we let Your Love decide what he whom You created as Your Son must be.
Picture
LESSON 312
I See All Things As I Would Have Them Be.
Perception follows judgment. Having judged, we therefore see what we would look upon. For sight can merely serve to offer us what we would have. It is impossible to overlook what we would see, and fail to see what we have chosen to behold. How surely, therefore, must the real world come to greet the holy sight of anyone who takes the Holy Spirit’s purpose as his goal for seeing. And he cannot fail to look upon what Christ would have him see, and share Christ’s Love for what he looks upon.
I have no purpose for today except to look upon a liberated world, set free from all the judgments I have made. Father, this is Your Will for me today, and therefore it must be my goal as well.
Picture
LESSON 313
Now Let A New Perception Come To Me.
Father, there is a vision which beholds all things as sinless, so that fear has gone, and where it was is love invited in. And love will come wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of Christ look on a world forgiven. In His sight are all its sins forgiven, for He sees no sin in anything He looks upon. Now let His true perception come to me, that I may waken from the dream of sin and look within upon my sinlessness, which You have kept completely undefiled upon the altar to Your holy Son, the Self with Which I would identify.
Let us today behold each other in the sight of Christ. How beautiful we are! How holy and how loving! Brother, come and join with me today. We save the world when we have joined. For in our vision it becomes as holy as the light in us.
Picture
LESSON 314
I Seek A Future Different From The Past.
From new perception of the world there comes a future very different from the past. The future now is recognized as but extension of the present. Past mistakes can cast no shadows on it, so that fear has lost its idols and its images, and being formless, it has no effects. Death will not claim the future now, for life is now its goal, and all the needed means are happily provided. Who can grieve or suffer when the present has been freed, extending its security and peace into a quiet future filled with joy?
Father, we were mistaken in the past, and choose to use the present to be free. Now do we leave the future in Your Hands, leaving behind our past mistakes, and sure that You will keep Your present promises, and guide the future in their holy light.


Picture
LESSON 315
All Gifts My Brothers Give Belong To Me.
Each day a thousand treasures come to me with every passing moment. I am blessed with gifts throughout the day, in value far beyond all things of which I can conceive. A brother smiles upon another, and my heart is gladdened. Someone speaks a word of gratitude or mercy, and my mind receives this gift and takes it as its own. And everyone who finds the way to God becomes my savior, pointing out the way to me, and giving me his certainty that what he learned is surely mine as well.
I thank You, Father, for the many gifts that come to me today and every day from every Son of God. My brothers are unlimited in all their gifts to me. Now may I offer them my thankfulness, that gratitude to them may lead me on to my Creator and His memory.
Picture
LESSON 316
All Gifts I Give My Brothers Are My Own.
As every gift my brothers give is mine, so every gift I give belongs to me. Each one allows a past mistake to go, and leave no shadow on the holy mind my Father loves. His grace is given me in every gift a brother has received throughout all time, and past all time as well. My treasure house is full, and angels watch its open doors that not one gift is lost, and only more are added. Let me come to where my treasures are, and enter in where I am truly welcome and at home, among the gifts that God has given me.
Father, I would accept Your gifts today. I do not recognize them. Yet I trust that You Who gave them will provide the means by which I can behold them, see their worth, and cherish only them as what I want.

A Course In Miracles: Lessons 299-309

LESSON 299
Eternal Holiness Abides In Me.
My holiness is far beyond my own ability to understand or know. Yet God, my Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as His. Our Will, together, understands it. And our Will, together, knows that it is so.
Father, my holiness is not of me. It is not mine to be destroyed by sin. It is not mine to suffer from attack. Illusions can obscure it, but can not put out its radiance, nor dim its light. It stands forever perfect and untouched. In it are all things healed, for they remain as You created them. And I can know my holiness. For Holiness Itself created me, and I can know my Source because it is Your Will that You be knowna
Picture
LESSON 300
Only An Instant Does This World Endure.
This is a thought which can be used to say that death and sorrow are the certain lot of all who come here, for their joys are gone before they are possessed, or even grasped. Yet this is also the idea that lets no false perception keep us in its hold, nor represent more than a passing cloud upon a sky eternally serene. And it is this serenity we seek, unclouded, obvious and sure, today.
We seek Your holy world today. For we, Your loving Sons, have lost our way a while. But we have listened to Your Voice, and learned exactly what to do to be restored to Heaven and our true Identity. And we give thanks today the world endures but for an instant. We would go beyond that tiny instant to eternity.
Picture
What is the Second Coming?
Christ’s Second Coming, which is sure as God, is merely the correction of mistakes, and the return of sanity. It is a part of the condition that restores the never lost, and reestablishes what is forever and forever true. It is the invitation to God’s Word to take illusion’s place; the willingness to let forgiveness rest upon all things without exception and without reserve.
It is the all-inclusive nature of Christ’s Second Coming that permits it toembrace the world and hold you safe within its gentle advent, which encompasses all living things with you. There is no end to the release the Second Coming brings, as God’s creation must be limitless. Forgiveness lights the Second Coming’s way, because it shines on everything as one. And thus is oneness recognized at last.
The Second Coming ends the lessons that the Holy Spirit teaches, making way for the Last Judgment, in which learning ends in one last summary that will extend beyond itself, and reaches up to God. The Second Coming is the time in which all minds are given to the hands of Christ, to be returned to spirit in the name of true creation and the Will of God.
The Second Coming is the one event in time which time itself can not affect. For every one who ever came to die, or yet will come or who is present now, is equally released from what he made. In this equality is Christ restored as one Identity, in Which the Sons of God acknowledge that they all are one. And God the Father smiles upon His Son, His one creation and His only joy.
Pray that the Second Coming will be soon, but do not rest with that. It needs your eyes and ears and hands and feet. It needs your voice. And most of all it needs your willingness. Let us rejoice that we can do God’s Will, and join together in its holy light. Behold, the Son of God is one in us, and we can reach our Father’s Love through Him.
Picture
LESSON 301
And God Himself Shall Wipe Away All Tears.
Father, unless I judge I cannot weep. Nor can I suffer pain, or feel I am abandoned or unneeded in the world. This is my home because I judge it not, and therefore is it only what You will. Let me today behold it uncondemned, through happy eyes forgiveness has released from all distortion. Let me see Your world instead of mine. And all the tears I shed will be forgotten, for their source is gone. Father, I will not judge Your world today.
God’s world is happy. Those who look on it can only add their joy to it, and bless it as a cause of further joy in them. We wept because we did not understand. But we have learned the world we saw was false, and we will look upon God’s world today.
Picture
LESSON 302
Where Darkness Was I Look Upon The Light.
Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us, as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We thought we suffered. But we had forgot the Son whom You created. Now we see that darkness is our own imagining, and light is there for us to look upon. Christ’s vision changes darkness into light, for fear must disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world today, that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but reflects my own.
Our Love awaits us as we go to Him, and walks beside us showing us the way. He fails in nothing. He the end we seek, and He the means by which we go to Him.
Picture
LESSON 303
The Holy Christ Is Born In Me Today.
Watch with me, angels, watch with me today. Let all God’s holy Thoughts surround me, and be still with me while Heaven’s Son is born. Let earthly sounds be quiet, and the sights to which I am accustomed disappear. Let Christ be welcomed where He is at home. And let Him hear the sounds He understands, and see but sights that show His Father’s Love. Let Him no longer be a stranger here, for He is born again in me today.
Your Son is welcome, Father. He has come to save me from the evil self I made. He is the Self That You have given me. He is but what I really am in truth. He is the Son You love above all things. He is my Self as You created me. It is not Christ That can be crucified. Safe in Your Arms let me receive Your Son.
Picture
LESSON 304
Let Not My World Obscure The Sight Of Christ.
I can obscure my holy sight, if I intrude my world upon it. Nor can I behold the holy sights Christ looks upon, unless it is His vision that I use. Perception is a mirror, not a fact. And what I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward. I would bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ. And I will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven me.
You lead me from the darkness to the light; from sin to holiness. Let me forgive, and thus receive salvation for the world. It is Your gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son, that he may find again the memory of You, and of Your Son as You created him.
Picture
LESSON 305
There Is A Peace That Christ Bestows On Us.
Who uses but Christ’s vision finds a peace so deep and quiet, undisturbable and wholly changeless, that the world contains no counterpart. Comparisons are still before this peace. And all the world departs in silence as this peace envelops it, and gently carries it to truth, no more to be the home of fear. For love has come, and healed the world by giving it Christ’s peace.
Father, the peace of Christ is given us, because it is Your Will that we be saved. Help us today but to accept Your gift, and judge it not. For it has come to us to save us from our judgment on ourselves.
Picture
LESSON 306
The Gift Of Christ Is All I Seek Today.
What but Christ’s vision would I use today, when it can offer me a day in which I see a world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me? Today I can forget the world I made. Today I can go past all fear, and be restored to love and holiness and peace. Today I am redeemed, and born anew into a world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the peace of God.
And so, our Father, we return to You, remembering we never went away; remembering Your holy gifts to us. In gratitude and thankfulness we come, with empty hands and open hearts and minds, asking but what You give. We cannot make an offering sufficient for Your Son. But in Your Love the gift of Christ is his.
Picture
LESSON 307
Conflicting Wishes Cannot Be My Will.
Father, Your Will is mine, and only that. There is no other will for me to have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is senseless and will cause me pain. Your Will alone can bring me happiness, and only Yours exists. If I would have what only You can give, I must accept Your Will for me, and enter into peace where conflict is impossible, Your Son is one with You in being and in will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You created me.
And with this prayer we enter silently into a state where conflict cannot come, because we join our holy will with God’s, in recognition that they are the same.
Picture
LESSON 308
This Instant Is The Only Time There Is.
I have conceived of time in such a way that I defeat my aim. If I elect to reach past time to timelessness, I must change my perception of what time is for. Time’s purpose cannot be to keep the past and future one. The only interval in which I can be saved from time is now. For in this instant has forgiveness come to set me free. The birth of Christ is now, without a past or future. He has come to give His present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love. And love is ever-present, here and now.
Thanks for this instant, Father. It is now I am redeemed. This instant is the time You have appointed for Your Son’s release, and for salvation of the world in him.
Picture
LESSON 309
I Will Not Fear To Look Within Today.
Within me is Eternal Innocence, because it is God’s Will that It be there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His Own, can will no change in this. For to deny my Father’s Will is to deny my own. To look within is but to find my will as God created it, and as it is. I fear to look within because I think I made another will that is not true, and made it real. Yet it has no effects. Within me is the holiness of God. Within me is the memory of Him.
The step I take today, my Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of sin. Your altar stands serene and undefiled. It is the holy altar to my Self, and there I find my true Identity.

LESSON 292
A Happy Outcome To All Things Is Sure.
God’s promises make no exceptions. And He guarantees that only joy can be the final outcome found for everything. Yet it is up to us when this is reached; how long we let an alien will appear to be opposing His. And while we think this will is real, we will not find the end He has appointed as the outcome of all problems we perceive, all trials we see, and every situation that we meet. Yet is the ending certain. For God’s Will is done in earth and Heaven. We will seek and we will find according to His Will, which guarantees that our will is done.
We thank You, Father, for Your guarantee of only happy outcomes in the end. Help us not interfere, and so delay the happy endings You have promised us for every problem that we can perceive; for every trial we think we still must meet.
Picture
LESSON 293
All Fear Is Past And Only Love Is Here.
All fear is past, because its source is gone, and all its thoughts gone with it. Love remains the only present state, whose Source is here forever and forever. Can the world seem bright and clear and safe and welcoming, with all my past mistakes oppressing it, and showing me distorted forms of fear? Yet in the present love is obvious, and its effects apparent. All the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I perceive a world forgiven at last.
Father, let not Your holy world escape my sight today. Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the world is singing underneath the sounds of fear. There is a real world which the present holds safe from all past mistakes. And I would see only this world before my eyes today.
Picture
LESSON 294
My Body Is A Wholly Neutral Thing.
I am a Son of God. And can I be another thing as well? Did God create the mortal and corruptible? What use has God’s beloved Son for what must die? And yet a neutral thing does not see death, for thoughts of fear are not invested there, nor is a mockery of love bestowed upon it. Its neutrality protects it while it has a use. And afterwards, without a purpose, it is laid aside. It is not sick nor old nor hurt. It is but functionless, unneeded and cast off. Let me not see it more than this today; of service for a while and fit to serve, to keep its usefulness while it can serve, and then to be replaced for greater good.
My body, Father, cannot be Your Son. And what is not created cannot be sinful nor sinless; neither good nor bad. Let me, then, use this dream to help Your plan that we awaken from all dreams we made.
Picture
LESSON 295
The Holy Spirit Looks Through Me Today.
Christ asks that He may use my eyes today, and thus redeem the world. He asks this gift that He may offer peace of mind to me, and take away all terror and all pain. And as they are removed from me, the dreams that seemed to settle on the world are gone. Redemption must be one. As I am saved, the world is saved with me. For all of us must be redeemed together. Fear appears in many different forms, but love is one.
My Father, Christ has asked a gift of me, and one I give that it be given me. Help me to use the eyes of Christ today, and thus allow the Holy Spirit’s Love to bless all things which I may look upon, that His forgiving Love may rest on me.
Picture
LESSON 296
The Holy Spirit Speaks Through Me Today.
The Holy Spirit needs my voice today, that all the world may listen to Your Voice, and hear Your Word through me. I am resolved to let You speak through me, for I would use no words but Yours, and have no thoughts which are apart from Yours, for only Yours are true. I would be savior to the world I made. For having damned it I would set it free, that I may find escape, and hear the Word Your holy Voice will speak to me today.
We teach today what we would learn, and that alone. And so our learning goal becomes an unconflicted one, and possible of easy reach and quick accomplishment. How gladly does the Holy Spirit come to rescue us from hell, when we allow His teaching to persuade the world, through us, to seek and find the easy path to God.
Picture
LESSON 297
Forgiveness Is The Only Gift I Give.
Forgiveness is the only gift I give, because it is the only gift I want. And everything I give I give myself. This is salvation’s simple formula. And I, who would be saved, would make it mine, to be the way I live within a world that needs salvation, and that will be saved as I accept Atonement for myself.
Father, how certain are Your ways; how sure their final outcome, and how faithfully is every step in my salvation set already, and accomplished by Your grace. Thanks be to You for Your eternal gifts, and thanks to You for my Identity.

LESSON 287
You Are My Goal, My Father. Only You.
Where would I go but Heaven? What could be a substitute for happiness? What gift could I prefer before the peace of God? What treasure would I seek and find and keep that can compare with my Identity? And would I rather live with fear than love?
You are my goal, my Father. What but You could I desire to have? What way but that which leads to You could I desire to walk? And what except the memory of You could signify to me the end of dreams and futile substitutions for the truth? You are my only goal. Your Son would be as You created him. What way but this could I expect to recognize my Self, and be at one with my Identity?

LESSON 287
You Are My Goal, My Father. Only You.
Where would I go but Heaven? What could be a substitute for happiness? What gift could I prefer before the peace of God? What treasure would I seek and find and keep that can compare with my Identity? And would I rather live with fear than love?
You are my goal, my Father. What but You could I desire to have? What way but that which leads to You could I desire to walk? And what except the memory of You could signify to me the end of dreams and futile substitutions for the truth? You are my only goal. Your Son would be as You created him. What way but this could I expect to recognize my Self, and be at one with my Identity?

Let Me Forget My Brother’s Past Today.
This is the thought that leads the way to You, and brings me to my goal. I cannot come to You without my brother. And to know my Source, I first must recognize what You created one with me. My brother’s is the hand that leads me on the way to You. His sins are in the past along with mine, and I am saved because the past is gone. Let me not cherish it within my heart, or I will lose the way to walk to You. My brother is my savior. Let me not attack the savior You have given me. But let me honor him who bears Your Name, and so remember that It is my own.
Forgive me, then, today. And you will know you have forgiven me if you behold your brother in the light of holiness. He cannot be less holy than can I, and you can not be holier than he.

LESSON 289
The Past Is Over. It Can Touch Me Not.
Unless the past is over in my mind, the real world must escape my sight. For I am really looking nowhere; seeing but what is not there. How can I then perceive the world forgiveness offers? This the past was made to hide, for this the world that can be looked on only now. It has no past. For what can be forgiven but the past, and if it is forgiven it is gone.
Father, let me not look upon a past that is not there. For You have offered me Your Own replacement, in a present world the past has left untouched and free of sin. Here is the end of guilt. And here am I made ready for Your final step. Shall I demand that You wait longer for Your Son to find the loveliness You planned to be the end of all his dreams and all his pain?

LESSON 290
My Present Happiness Is All I See.
Unless I look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see. Eyes that begin to open see at last. And I would have Christ’s vision come to me this very day. What I perceive without God’s Own Correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to behold. Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. This the day I seek my present happiness, and look on nothing else except the thing I seek.
With this resolve I come to You, and ask Your strength to hold me up today, while I but seek to do Your Will. You cannot fail to hear me, Father. What I ask have You already given me. And I am sure that I will see my happiness today.

What is the Real World?
The real world is a symbol, like the rest of what perception offers. Yet it stands for what is opposite to what you made. Your world is seen through eyes of fear, and brings the witnesses of terror to your mind. The real world cannot be perceived except through eyes forgiveness blesses, so they see a world where terror is impossible, and witnesses to fear can not be found.
The real world holds a counterpart for each unhappy thought reflected in your world; a sure correction for the sights of fear and sounds of battle which your world contains. The real world shows a world seen differently, through quiet eyes and with a mind at peace. Nothing but rest is there. There are no cries of pain and sorrow heard, for nothing there remains outside forgiveness. And the sights are gentle. Only happy sights and sounds can reach the mind that has forgiven itself.
What need has such a mind for thoughts of death, attack and murder? What can it perceive surrounding it but safety, love and joy? What is there it would choose to be condemned, and what is there that it would judge against? The world it sees arises from a mind at peace within itself. No danger lurks in anything it sees, for it is kind, and only kindness does it look upon.
The real world is the symbol that the dream of sin and guilt is over, and God’s Son no longer sleeps. His waking eyes perceive the sure reflection of his Father’s Love; the certain promise that he is redeemed. The real world signifies the end of time, for its perception makes time purposeless.
The Holy Spirit has no need of time when it has served His purpose. Now He waits but that one instant more for God to take His final step, and time has disappeared, taking perception with it as it goes, and leaving but the truth to be itself. That instant is our goal, for it contains the memory of God. And as we look upon a world forgiven, it is He Who calls to us and comes to take us home, reminding us of our Identity Which our forgiveness has restored to us.

LESSON 291
This Is A Day Of Stillness And Of Peace.
Christ’s vision looks through me today. His sight shows me all things forgiven and at peace, and offers this same vision to the world. And I accept this vision in its name, both for myself and for the world as well. What loveliness we look upon today! What holiness we see surrounding us! And it is given us to recognize it is a holiness in which we share; it is the Holiness of God Himself.
This day my mind is quiet, to receive the Thoughts You offer me. And I accept what comes from You, instead of from myself. I do not know the way to You. But You are wholly certain. Father, guide Your Son along the quiet path that leads to You. Let my forgiveness be complete, and let the memory of You return to me.
