 We are following the teachings of Jesus from a course in miracles and the mind training in forgiveness, the mind training in judge not, the mind training in let all things be exactly as they are. Don't judge a thing. This workbook lessons are these are going taking us to being able to watch the world from a state of non-judgment like Jesus did. He was a way-shower. He was the way, the truth, and life. He gave us a great example of beholding the world without judgment and not jumping in to attacking or defending even toward the end of his earthly life. He was he was very silent. He was very still and he just let all things be exactly as they are through scenes of crucifixion and a resurrection. Jesus is helping us see that the body is just a neutral learning device for the mind that the Holy Spirit can use whether it seems to be in a body dying or a body being reborn. It still points to the resurrection of the mind. That's what we're praying for. We're praying for Jesus' statement, be of good cheer. I've overcome the world. We're praying for above the battleground. We're praying for the happy learner. We're praying for the happy dream. We're in the happy dream when we don't judge anything or any one of this world then we are happy and when we seem to judge, hold opinions, hold grievances, hold doubts, hold fears. When we point fingers and accuse that's just the ego's shenanigans trying to to basically assert that there is a will apart from God and the ego is the belief that separation from God is possible and that you can have a will apart from your Creator. An absolutely ridiculous idea if God creates you in truth, in love and light then any other belief must be a lie because the truth is true and only the truth is true. Joy is the reflection of knowing that you are one with God. Happiness is that same reflection. Peace is that same reflection. So today we're rolling on with our workbook lessons and today we have lesson number 86. We're still in workbook part one review two. These ideas are for review today. Only God's plan for salvation will work. It is senseless for me to search wildly about for salvation. I have seen it in many people and in many things but when I reached for it, it was not there. I was mistaken about where it is. I was mistaken about what it is. I will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God's plan for salvation will work and I will rejoice because his plan can never fail. These are some suggested forms for applying the idea today specifically. God's plan for salvation will save me from my perception of this. This is no exception in God's plan for my salvation. Let me perceive this only in the light of God's plan for salvation. Holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for salvation. Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that God's plan for salvation will not work. Yet only his plan will work. By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my only hope of salvation from my awareness. I would no longer defeat my own best interest in this insane way. I would accept God's plan for salvation and be happy. Specific applications for this idea might be in these forms. I am choosing between misperception and salvation as I look on this. If I see grounds for grievances in this, I will not see the grounds for my salvation. This calls for salvation, not attack. Beautiful. Again, only God's plan for salvation will work. Holding grievances is an attack on God's plan for salvation. So for some support today, since only God's plan for salvation will work, I went to the course search program and I typed in only God. I got 292 results from Jesus in A Course in Miracles. Let's use some of these ideas that Jesus is sharing because this is really going to uplift us. It's really taking us inward to really accept the ideas really deeply and fully without reservations. I was saying recently I was listening to this beautiful song and you can have my yes with no exceptions. I'm laying down my rights to second guessing. You can have my yes. And that Jesus is truly the way, the truth, and the life. So that song was just playing in my mind again very strongly today. So let's just have some support from Jesus for only God's plan for salvation will work. Let's look at these results from the course on the search only God. A sense of separation from God is the only lack you really need correct. Only God can establish this solution and this faith is his gift. The Atonement is the only gift that is worthy of being offered at the altar of God because of the value of the altar itself. The statement for God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life needs only one slight correction to be meaningful in this context. He gave it to his only begotten Son. And he's talking about the real world of the happy dream. The Holy Spirit made the forgiving world the happy dream of non-judgment. It should be especially noted that God has only one Son. There's only one of us. One mind, one heart, one love, absolute pure oneness, spirit, eternal life, kingdom of heaven, kingdom of God. Call that one whatever you want. And the Christ is just the Christ. It's just a beautiful idea in the mind of God. It should especially be noted that God has only one Son. That's in spirit. It doesn't talk about all the projections of the world, all the different cultures and languages and you know, countries and names. Just there's only one of us basically. And you feel happy when you remember that there's only one of us. And that one is a creation of God. And that's so beautiful. Behind all the appearances of form, there's only one of us. Everyone will ultimately look upon his own creations and choose to preserve only what is good, just as God himself looked upon what he had created and knew that it was good. Spirit is good. Eternity is good. Changelessness is good. The term last judgment is frightening, not only because it has been projected onto God, but also because of the association of last with death. Knowing his son as he is, you realize that the Atonement, not sacrifice, is the only appropriate gift for God's altar, where nothing except perfection belongs. I have said that only what God creates or what you create with the same will has any real existence. God knows you only in peace. And this is your reality. God offers only mercy. The offense is never to God, but only to those who deny him. That was from text chapter three, section six. Let's read it again. The offense is never to God, but only to those who deny him. When we judge, when we hold grievances, that's that's why Jesus tells us my grievances are an attack upon God's plan for salvation because God's plan for salvation is forgiveness. That's what Jesus was teaching us all along. That's what all the mystics and saints are teaching us. And when we deny that forgiveness is our only purpose, then we take on other purposes and we seek to hold grievances and we don't know our Creator in that state of mind of darkness. And we don't really know anything. It's just the ignorant sleeping mind of believing in the ego and thrashing about in time and space trying to wish, wish its way out. I wish things were different. I wish you would change. I wish, wish that wasn't the outcome. Wish, wish, wish, wish. But you know, I always remember that that song wonder, wonder, wonder, wonder who who wrote the book of love, who created love. Yeah, it's God. So we can't forget that. We can't forget that. Your creation by God is the only foundation that cannot be shaken because the light is in it. Listen only to God who is as incapable of deception as is the spirit he created. Only God could make a home that is worthy of his creations who have chosen to leave it empty by their own dispossession. God created heaven and heaven is home. And if you try to deny heaven and make up a world of time and space and images, idle images. Ah, remember, the Bible said hold no graven images before the Lord thy God. Only God could make a home that is worthy of his creations. The kingdom of heaven. The kingdom of heaven is the spirit's right. Whose beauty and dignity are far beyond doubt, beyond perception and stand forever as the mark of love of God for his creations who are wholly worthy of him and only of him. Spirit. Spirit is love. Spirit is worthy of love. Spirit is eternal. Spirit is changeless. Jesus introduction to his course. Nothing real can be threatened. Nothing unreal exists. Herein lies the peace of God. It is the only identification with the which which the ego feels safe since the body's vulnerability is its own best argument that you cannot be of God. Yep. It's trying to make believe that the body is our home but God created us in spirit and God knows this spirit. We will forever be a spirit. God will come to you only as you will give him to your brothers. Yeah. Shine the light. Yeah. Until we shine the light and we make no exceptions to the shining of that light then then we're not going to know our brothers or ourselves as spirit. Spirit never withholds. Spirit shines and shines and shines. Spirit gives and gives and gives. Only God's holy children are worthy channels of his beautiful joy because only they are beautiful enough to hold it by sharing it. The higher mind thinks according to the laws spirit obeys and therefore honors only the laws of God. You can share only the thoughts that are of God and that he keeps for you. That's why there are no private thoughts and that's why people pleasing is impossible because you can share only the thoughts that are of God and that he keeps for you and these are eternal thoughts. I am as God created me is the thought you can share that comes from God that he keeps for us. I am spirit. Yeah. That's another one. Those eternal thoughts are thoughts of spirit and and you could say that Christ is an idea in the mind of God. So God creates Christ thinks Christ into being and there is no other creation. All is spirit. Christ can create in spirit as well but spirit is an eternal continuous line of creation. If we were rewriting the Old Testament a little bit we would just say instead of the big gaps we would say God creates Christ. Christ creates spirit, creates spirit, creates spirit, creates spirit. In this world you get apples from apple trees and oranges from orange trees and lemons from lemon trees. In heaven you get spirit from spirit from spirit. It's a continual line of creation. It's totally denied by the ego but it's real. It's true. It's reality. The joint will of the sonship is the only creator that can create like the father because only the complete can think completely and the thinking of God lacks nothing. Only what God creates is irreversible and unchangeable. Your place is only in eternity where God himself placed you forever. The Holy Spirit can speak only for this because he speaks for God. You are as certain as God because you are as true as he is but what was once certain in your mind has become only the ability for certainty. We have to accept God's plan for salvation. We have to accept the correction in order to know with certainty our identity as Christ. Not as a body, not as a person but as a spirit. When Jesus said, I and the Father are one who's speaking in spirit. When Jesus said before Abraham was, I am, he was speaking in spirit. Nothing lasting lies in dreams and the Holy Spirit shining with the light from God himself speaks only for what lasts forever. Only one equal gift can be offered to the equal sons of God and that is full appreciation. Be vigilant only for God and his kingdom. If you allow yourself to have in your mind only what God put there you are acknowledging your mind as God created it. The voice for God speaks only for belief beyond question which is the preparation for being without question. Your creations have always been because you can create only as God creates. Seek ye first the kingdom of heaven because that is where the laws of God operate truly and they operate can only operate truly because they are the laws of truth. Give only honor to the sons of the living God and count yourself among them gladly. One child of God is the only teacher sufficiently worthy to teach another. Only you can limit your creative power but God wills to release it. Yeah God will wills to release all beliefs in limit and lack. The extension of God's being is spirits only function. Wow it just goes on and on and on that's just a few that's just up to chapter seven out of the 292 results that come from a word search of only God. Wow only God has a plan that brings peace to me. Only God has a plan that brings joy love happiness to me and that joy is in this moment. This holy instant has salvation come. So I want to just take a workbook lesson to a little foreshadowing but this one helps us out for our review today because this is the practical application of only God's plan for salvation will work and that grievances holding grievances and an attack on God's plan for salvation. So this will support us. This one is is actually from lesson 268 it says let all things be exactly as they are. Let me not be your critic Lord today and judge against you. Let me not attempt to interfere with your creation and distort it into sickly forms. Let me be willing to withdraw my wishes from its unity and thus to let it be as you created it. Withdraw my wishes. Withdraw my ego wishes and preferences from its unity and thus to let it be as you created it. Let it be like the Beatles song. Let spirit be because that's who we are. Let it be let it be. Let it be as you created it. For thus will I be able too to recognize my Christ self as you created me. In love was I created and in love will I remain forever. What can frighten me when I let all things be exactly as they are? Spirit let not our sight be blasphemous today nor let our ears attend to lying tongues. Only reality is free of pain. Only reality is free of loss. Only reality is holy safe and it is only this we seek today. Wow that's why we let all things be exactly as they are because behind the images and the appearances of what seems to be changing in our perception is the eternal love of God, the eternal grace of God, the eternal spirit that is Christ and and God and and heaven is behind the veil of forgetfulness, behind this veil of idol images is is the light and the light has come. Jesus is really letting us feel that the light has come. Okay I think I will I've got a song from Alyssa Moore my friend from her her album and see in every heartbeat and this one is called Let All Things Be Exactly As They Are. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Amen. I hope you're having a beautiful holy week.
