 bruising through equals, letting Jesus' teachings and instructions rain down on us as we joyfully go forth to practice the mind-training, to transfer the training, to forgive, as Jesus said, forgive as you have been forgiven. He's basically telling us, remember the truth of God. Remember God's eternal, everlasting, unconditional agape love, and release or forget what the devil has made, what the ego has made. Whatever stands in the way between your awareness and God being directly in connection and aware of the connection with God, that's what it's all about. That's where the joy and the happiness and peace really are. That's the inner peace that just radiates out from the kingdom of heaven within to everything and everyone, shining the light of God. Yeah, we go forth with that. We're happy to practice his lessons. So we've just come through several of the workbook lessons, which I've called the Holiness Lessons, and Holiness and accepting Holiness for yourself and for everyone is the goal of this practice. That's the goal of the mind-training. It's only to be in the grace of God and extend that grace to everyone and everything. To return the mind to the direct connection with God, there can't be anything higher. There can't be anything more worthy of care and attention and effort. So we've come through the Holiness theme there in the last several days with these workbook lessons and yeah, we made it through. So in any kind of shame or guilt or unworthiness that came up during the Holiness Lessons, good, all up and out, up and given over to the Holy Spirit and say, you know, I'm worth the love of God. Jesus reminds us that your worth is established by God. Nothing you think or say or make or do can establish your worth. Your worth is established by God. It is eternal. It is changeless. It is to know God's will, to know eternity, the kingdom of heaven. And nothing can prevail against the will of God. Love wins in the end because love is all there is and everything else was just made up as a deception, as a seeming fall from grace that had no basis in reality. God doesn't know a separation. God knows Christ as one self united with the Creator. So here we go. We're jumping in now to to open our hearts up to the happy things of God. And basically that is our identity, to know the truth of the Christ, to know the truth of the Son of God, the Holy Son of God. We see mystical Christ. Yeah, why not? If you want to dive in. Yeah, we have a website here. TheChrist.net, the-Christ.net, which has got all kinds of wonderful programs and courses and it's got a church app on there and all kinds of lives going on, lots of interactivity seemingly between the ministers of God and the sons of God, all in the purpose of awakening to know thyself as the Son of God. Where Abraham was, I am. Yeah, let's grab it. Let's actually embrace it. Let's go for it. Let's claim it. God created us as one, so let's claim our birthright as spirit. So here we go, lesson number 40. I am blessed as a Son of God. Today we will begin to assert some of the happy things to which you are entitled, being what you are. No long practice periods are required today, but very frequent short ones are necessary. Once every ten minutes would be highly desirable and you are urged to attempt this schedule and to adhere to it whenever possible. If you forget, try again. If there are long interruptions, try again. Whenever you remember, try again. I am blessed as a Son of God. You need not close your eyes for these exercise periods, although you will probably find it more helpful if you do. However, you may be in a number of situations during the day when closing your eyes would not be feasible. Do not miss a practice period because of this. You can practice quite well under any circumstances if you really want to. Today's exercises take a little time, very little time, and no effort. I am blessed as a Son of God. Repeat the idea for today and then add several of the attributes you associate with being a Son of God, applying them to yourself. One practice period might, for example, consist of the following. I am blessed as a Son of God. I am happy, peaceful, loving, and contented. Another might take this form. I am blessed as a Son of God. I am calm, quiet, assured, and confident. If only a brief period is available, merely telling yourself that you are blessed as a Son of God will do. I am blessed as a Son of God. Happy news. Share the good news. Just repeat that in your mind today. We're going for every 10 minutes and Jesus says that's highly desirable. It's calmly, quietly, eyes open, eyes closed, doesn't matter. In your mind, let that thought flutter, float, fill your mind today. I am blessed as a Son of God. Let's rejoice in the blessings of being created in a perfect spirit, a perfect extension of spirit from a loving God, and that's what the Christ idea is. It's a perfect spirit. It's a divine mind spirit. It's a holiness identification because God is holy and so are God's creations. And the Son of God is the creation of God. It's a perfect idea in the mind of the Creator. So I prayed a bit on some backup support today to get us ready for this. And I basically went to the course search program and I typed in Son of God. Since I am blessed as a Son of God. And this is some ideas that came to mind from the text and beyond that really are helpful. First one is coming obviously from Jesus, the Son of God. I am blessed as the Son of God. This was from Jesus text. First chapter, section two. I bridged the distance as an elder brother to you on the one hand and as a Son of God on the other. Same chapter, section five. When the atonement has been completed, all talents will be shared by all the sons of God. Chapter one again, section five. Except you become as little children means that unless you fully recognize your complete dependence on God, you cannot know the real power of the Son in his true relationship with the Father. Also section five, the specialness of God's sons does not stem from exclusion, but from inclusion. Love is inclusive. Agape love is completely inclusive. There is nothing more or less than Agape love. It includes all that God created in spirit, sometimes called the sonship. Chapter one, section seven. I have said, awe is inappropriate in connection with the sons of God because you should not experience awe in the presence of your equals. Yes, awe, AWE, awe is an awesome, is reserved for the Creator. Our God, our God is an awesome God. He reigns, oh yeah. Some old verses from a beautiful song, in my mind, reverberating. To chapter two, section one, to extend is a fundamental aspect of God which he gave to his son. Also section one, in this sense, the creation includes both the creation of the Son of God and the son's creation when his mind is healed. Yes, Christ has eternal creations too. God creates eternally, Christ creates eternally, and when we wake up from the dream of separation and death and cross past the veil into the peace that passes the understanding of the world, then we know our Christ extensions. That's what that means. Chapter two, section two, you may still think this is associated with loss, a mistake all the separated sons of God make in one way or another. Chapter three, section one, persecution frequently results in an attempt to justify the terrible misperception that God himself persecuted his own son on behalf of salvation. No sacrifice. Let's let go of these misperceptions, these misconceptions that somehow God allowed his beloved son to be sacrificed for the good of mankind. Now, Christ is Christ and the message of the crucifixion is teach only love for that is what you are. Christ was demonstrating love through everything. False charges were brought against him. He didn't answer. He did not defend himself. I'm blessed are the meat for they shall inherit the earth. You know, he spoke the truth. He didn't believe in persecution and sacrifice. He shared love and forgiveness, forgive them for they know not what they do. He was basically saying, mind at the sleep that believes in the ego knows not what it does no matter what it seems to do in form. It knows not what it does because it doesn't know its identity as the Christ. Now it's time to accept the Christ and release the rest. Goodbye to illusions. They never held any sway. They never held any causation, any importance. We set them free today as the son of God. We remember our lesson. I am blessed as a son of God and we shall not go past that simple admission and recognition today. Chapter three, section two, nothing can prevail against the son of God who commends his spirit into the hands of his father. Strength, glory. Again, chapter three, section two, the son of God is part of the Holy Trinity, but the Trinity itself is one. Yes, one in spirit. After four, section four, there is no limit to the power of a son of God, but he can limit the expression of his power as much as he chooses. Let's not choose limitation today. I am blessed as a son of God. All power and glory to the Creator, to the Father. All power and glory. Chapter four, section four, the first coming of Christ is merely another name for the creation, for Christ is the son of God. Chapter five, section one, the Holy Spirit will remain with the sons of God to bless their creations and keep them in the light of joy. Chapter five, section two, he is the call to return with which God blessed the minds of his separated sons. It's a blessing to remember God. It's a blessing to go forth and shine the light. It's a blessing to practice these workbook lessons. Oh, 10 minutes. I am blessed as a son of God. Let's practice now. Chapter five, section four, the mind, capital mind, the divine mind that was in me is still irresistibly drawn to every mind created by God because God's wholeness is the wholeness of his son. Again, section four and chapter five, make it dependable in my name because my name is the name of God's son, Christ. All the sons of God are waiting for your return, just as you are waiting for theirs, just as you are waiting for theirs. The real meaning of the crucifixion, this is from chapter six, section one, the real meaning of the crucifixion lies in the apparent intensity of the assault of some of the sons of God upon another. It goes on to say in section one, this is not a lesson a son of God should want to teach if he is to realize his own salvation. I will with God that none of his sons should suffer. The crucifixion cannot be shared because it is the symbol of projection, but the resurrection is the symbol of sharing because the reawakening of every son of God is necessary to enable the sonship to know its wholeness. And we're in chapter six still section one, Judas was my brother and a son of God as much a part of the sonship is myself. No one is punished for sins and the sons of God are not sinners. Spirit transcends sin. Sin is error. It's been corrected by the Holy Spirit when we tune into the Holy Spirit, when we accept ourself as God created me. That's what he means by the sons of God are not sinners. It's a wake up call. Let go of sin, the idea of error and accept the truth, be a truth finder, be a spirit finder instead of an error finder, instead of a sin finder. You can't find something that wasn't created by God, but you can find God. Again, in chapter six, section one, the power of the sons of God is present all the time because they were created as creators. Section two, God created his sons by extending his thought and retaining the extensions of his thought in his mind. Section five, only one equal gift can be offered to the equal sons of God and that is full appreciation. Section seven, chapter seven, section one, you are part of God as your sons are part of his sons. Section two, God and his sons in the surety of being know that what you extend, you are. Chapter seven, section five, true learning is constant and so vital in its power for change that a son of God can recognize his power in one instant and change the world in the next. Section seven of chapter seven, give only honor to the sons of the living God and count yourself among them gladly. He always teaches you the inestimable worth of every son of God, teaching it with infinite patience born of the infinite love for which he speaks. Wow, it just goes on and on and on. I'm just on chapter seven, but I have quotes going all the way eight, nine. Oh, my. Chapter 10, to believe that a son of God can be sick is to believe that part of God can suffer. Therefore, section three of chapter 10, do not side with sickness in the presence of a son of God, even if he believes in it, for your acceptance of God in him acknowledges the love of God he has forgotten. To believe a son of God is sick is to worship the same idol he does. So chapter 10 is getting into the topic of sickness. And chapter 11, section two, what can the son of God not accomplish with the fatherhood of God in him? That says it all right there. Well, you can see why Jesus is saying today we will begin to assert some of the happy things to which you are entitled being what you are. I am blessed as a son of God and just a little sprinkling of ideas from the text are or the wind beneath our wings today as we soar in mind to the awareness of the son of God, untouchable, the son of God, invulnerable, inviolate, insoluble, the Christ, all power and glory to God for creating us as the Christ. A perfect idea in the perfect mind of God, a perfect spirit in the spirit of oneness that is the kingdom of heaven. The Holy Trinity is all truly in the kingdom of heaven. Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, Holy Spirit, all there in terms of the sleeping mind, the Holy Spirit and Jesus are guiding us. That's what we have this mind training for. That's why we're practicing these lessons to experience the truth of oneness. Yeah, there's only one self and it is united with God and the illusion of separation, the illusion of differences, the illusion of different layers and levels, all that dimensions. No, no, no, no. Not a, not a, not a, not true. Son of God is one and we repeat again every 10 minutes if possible, silently with eyes open or closed. I am blessed as a son of God. Amen. Glory to God. Adios to God.
