 Okay, we're live here again for another Course in Miracles live workbook lesson, and we just come off of Easter, and here we are on the second day of the week, right after Easter Tuesday. So our lesson for today is lesson 101. God's will for me is perfect happiness. And this is a really fun lesson because a lot of times, when you hear people and the Christians will will say, you know, you have to say the sinner's prayer and you, you know, have to admit to sin. And you do have to acknowledge there was a problem before you can accept the correction, actually, but this is a beautiful lesson and where we are now going fully into the resurrection. And we will beginning begin to open up to our minds to that there is no sin, which is a really lovely idea. And for Course in Miracles students, you know, sin is just an error to be corrected. So when we say there is no sin, this simply means that the error of separation has already been corrected by the Holy Spirit. Or as Jesus said on the cross, it is finished before there was a giant rumble. And temples started to crack and everything started to happen. So this is definitely God's will for me is perfect happiness. Today, we will continue with the theme of happiness. This is a key idea in understanding what salvation means. You still believe it as for suffering as penance for your quote sins. This is not so. Yet you must think it so while you believe that sin is real, and that God's son can sin. If sin is real, then punishment is just and cannot be escaped salvation thus cannot be purchased but through suffering. If sin is real, then happiness must be an illusion for they cannot both be true. People warrant only death and pain, and it is this they ask for. For they know it waits for them and it will seek them out and find them somewhere sometime in some form that evens the account. They owe to God. They would not escape him in their fear, and yet he will pursue and they cannot escape. If sin is real, salvation must be pain. Pain is the cost of sin and suffering can never be escaped if sin is real. Salvation must be feared, or it will kill but slowly taking everything away before it grants the welcome boon of death to victims who are a little more than bones before salvation is appeased. Its wrath is boundless, merciless, but holy just. We can see Jesus is really being tongue in cheek with us today. The hypothetical if sin is real, pain, suffering are real and happiness is not. But of course the lesson of the day is not about that so here we go after the tongue in cheek start. Who would seek out such savage punishment. Who would not flee salvation and attempt in every way he can to drown the voice which offers it to him. Why would he try to listen and accept its offering. If sin is real, its offering is death and meet it out in cruel form to match the vicious wishes in which sin is born. If sin is real, salvation has become your bitter enemy, the curse of God upon you who have crucified his son. You need the practice periods today. The exercises teach sin is not real. And all that you believe must come from sin will never happen for it has no cause. Accept the tournament with an open mind which cherishes no lingering belief that you have made a devil of God's son. There is no sin. We practice with this thought as often as we can today because it is the basis for today's idea. We'll go back. Because he's saying sin will never happen for it has no cause. Think of it for a moment. If God is the only cause and God is love and everything that comes from God is love. All creation in terms of spirit extending spirit extending spirit is only love forever only love forever only joy forever only happiness peace. And, and if God is the only cause there can be nothing else but love. And this is why we can happily rejoice that sin is not real you follow the divine reasoning here Jesus is saying I'm giving you some divine metaphysics. Some of you of course have read the Bible and and in the Bible it says comes right out and says the wages of sin is death and that's what he's saying in the paragraphs above this he's basically saying yeah. If, if you believe in sin, if you believe in the error, if you believe in the devil, if you believe that there can be a will apart from God that God didn't create. If you believe in sin, the wages of sin is death and we've been over that in the last days. If you don't like being labeled a miserable center just realize that that you're a death worshiper as long as you believe in the ego, but the ego is not real. So that's why he's teaching us. There is no sin, because he's also saying there is no ego. There is no devil. If you recognize God is the only cause. If you believe there's other causes but God then, you know, that that's just something to offer up to God and say, I hope I've been wrong about the belief in sin. I'm going to repeat that one line. There is no sin. Period. Can't miss that line in that paragraph. Okay. God's will for you is perfect happiness, because there is no sin and suffering is causeless. The way is just and pain is but the sign you have misunderstood yourself, misunderstood your Christ self. Fear not the will of God, but turn to it and confidence that it will set you free from all the consequences sin has wrought in feverish imagination. Today, God's will for me is perfect happiness. There is no sin. It has no consequence. So should you start your practice periods, and then attempt again to find the joy these thoughts will introduce to into your mind. Give these five minutes gladly to remove the heavy load you lay upon yourself with the insane belief that sin is real today escape from madness. You are set on freedoms road. And now today's idea brings wings to speed you on and hope to go still faster to the waiting goal of peace. There is no sin. Remember this today and tell yourself as often as you can. God's will for me is perfect happiness. This is the truth, because there is no sin. So, let's just take a moment to take that beautiful idea in God's will for me is perfect happiness, because there is no sin. Wholeness is my happiness, because there is no separation. Completion is my inheritance, my divine inheritance, because there is no incompletion, because there is no sin. Innocence is my birthright as spirit. Because God created me as spirit and there is no sin. Error is impossible, because God is the only cause. Love is all there is. And because love is all there is. Of course there, there is no sin. Love, oneness, eternity, heaven, spirit is without an opposite, because there is no sin. God's will for me is perfect happiness and nothing can prevail against the will of God. Just the words will of God. So, it's like there's certainty, there's eternity, there's surety, hits the will of God if his perfect happiness must be inevitable. And we could say if the will of God is for perfect happiness, there cannot be such a thing as sin. So, if you're experiencing something other than really joy and supreme happiness, then just know that that's an error that actually has already been corrected because there is no sin. The Holy Spirit has already corrected the error. Now, Jesus said it is finished when he was on the cross. He wasn't talking about the body dying, because God is eternal love and if Jesus said and meant I and the Father are one. And before Abraham was I am, there's no room for sin. We can say that Jesus was a demonstration that there is no sin. And when he was saying repent, and of course his cousin John the Baptist was also saying repent. It just means turn from your illusory ways. Turn away from your error. Turn away from your belief in sin. Rejoice and be exceedingly glad that God is love, and that God created you as love, pure love. Isn't this fun? Isn't this fun? This idea to me is a lesson of wholeness and completion. This idea God's will for me is perfect happiness takes away all the misconceptions and misperceptions about God's will. I used to ask as a child, you know, why did that country invade that other country? And sometimes I was told, well, that was God's will. No, God's will is for me is for perfect happiness. It doesn't have anything to do with invading. It doesn't have anything to do with with the actions of time and space, which aren't real. It doesn't have anything to do with unreal effects, which is what all the images of the cosmos are because they don't have a real cause. If they're a projection of the ego and the ego is not real, then how can the images be real? So today we dispense with idols, we dispense with the belief in sin, and we don't have to proclaim it. We're just rejoicing in the experience of it, but it's our happiness that is the demonstration that God's will is real and true. That God's love prevails forever and ever and ever and ever. That's what we're rejoicing in today. And this is what we get two days after Easter. Oh my gosh. Whoa, we're on for a roll. Now we're just this is lesson 101. And we're going to keep rolling on with these magnificent lessons that each one is a declaration of freedom. Each one is a declaration of eternal life. And wow, it's a really strong declaration. That's for sure. So thank you for tuning in today. I'll just say the title of the lesson 101 one more time so we can all grin one more time from year to year. God's will for me is perfect happiness. Amen. Thank you.
