 To A Course in Miracles Live, this is a Jesus Christ Live broadcast because Jesus is alive in our hearts and in our minds and the way the truth in the life is shining, shining, and today we're going to open up to that light, to the way the truth in life, open up to the vision of Christ, open up to the Holy Spirit's way that takes us into the light and we follow the guidance of Jesus and the Holy Spirit day by day, moment by moment, just clearing our mind, washing away the cobwebs, washing away the shadows, allowing any unconscious darkness that has to come up and to release it to the Holy Spirit. So a lot of times I talk about the Holy Instant. That's actually how these workbook lessons will end in terms of the last five lessons of this workbook lesson series that we're doing, we're in the middle of here. It will end with this Holy Instant what I give to you, be you in charge for I would but follow. And basically the Holy Instant is what Eckhart Tolle is calling the present moment, the presence. Some teachers in non-duality call it pure awareness. Forgiveness is this pure awareness where you've reached the tippy top of consciousness and then you experience a forgiven world. From the perspective of being the dreamer of the dream, you see that it's all happening simultaneously and and then you're ready for the unholy instant, the time of terror, the tiny mad idea, the belief in ego, the belief in separation from God. That's the unholy instant, that's the fall from grace, that's the big bang, that's the belief in separation from the Creator, that's the belief that you can make up a world apart from God on your own and have an autonomous life apart from God. And then the Holy Instant, the present moment, the presence of God's love, this moment is the answer to the unholy instant. So if we said the unholy instant is the time of terror, it's the it's the darkness and the Holy Instant is the light. And as the Bible said, perfect love casts out fear. So when you bring the darkness to the light, when you allow all the grievances, all the judgments and opinions and doubts and fears and an all sense of shame and pain and guilt, when you really let that up and out over to the Holy Spirit, over to the light of Christ, then the darkness disappears. So the psychological term for this is, yeah, dissociation is trying to keep two irreconcilable belief systems or thought systems, both in your mind, darkness and light, and Jesus is teaching us that actually dissociation is is impossible, but you won't know in experience that it's impossible until you bring the darkness to the light and the darkness disappears. And that is when we realize that God is all in all, that God's will is the only will that there is and there is no other. God's will is for perfect happiness, perfect love, perfect joy, there is no other, there is no other. It's the Beatles saying one time, all you need is love, and really all you need is the remembrance of God's love, the remembrance of God's will, the realization that that you share God's will, that your will as the Christ light is the same as the the Creator is the same as God's as the Source. So it's all merging together in spirit. Unified awareness is a step towards oneness. Forgiven world is a step toward oneness. Happy dream is a step towards oneness. It's like the gateway. So today's lesson is a very much of a hallelujah lesson because we roll on from lesson 79 now to lesson 80 in the workbook of A Course in Miracles. Let me recognize my problems have been solved. Separation was solved the instant it seemed to arise. The Holy Spirit did that. And now we have to accept that Atonement Principle, accept that. Let me recognize my problems have been solved. If you are willing to recognize your problems, you will recognize that you have no problems. Your one central problem has been answered and you have no other. Therefore, you must be at peace. Salvation thus depends on recognizing this one problem in understanding that it has been solved. One problem, one solution. Salvation is accomplished. Freedom from conflict has been given you. Accept that fact and you are ready to take your rightful place in God's plan for salvation. Your only problem has been solved. Repeat this over and over to yourself today with gratitude and conviction. You have recognized your only problem opening the way for the Holy Spirit to give you God's answer. You have laid deception aside and seen the light of truth. You have accepted salvation for yourself by bringing the problem to the answer. And you can recognize the answer because the problem has been identified. You are entitled to peace today. A problem that has been resolved cannot trouble you. Only be certain you do not forget that all problems are the same. Their many forms will not deceive you while you remember this. One problem, one solution. Accept the peace this simple statement brings. In our longer practice periods today we will claim the peace that must be ours when the problem and the answer have been brought together. The problem must be gone because God's answer cannot fail. Having recognized one, you have recognized the other. The solution is inherent in the problem. You are answered and have accepted the answer. You are saved. Now let the peace that your acceptance brings be given you. Close your eyes and receive your reward. Recognize that your problems have been solved. Recognize that you are out of conflict free and at peace. Above all remember that you have one problem and that the problem has one solution. It is in this that the simplicity of salvation lies. It is because of this that it is guaranteed to work. Assure yourself often today that your problems have been solved. Repeat the idea with deep conviction as frequently as possible and be particularly sure to apply the idea for today to any specific problem that may arise. Say quickly, let me recognize this problem has been solved. Let us be determined not to collect grievances today. Let us be determined to be free of problems that do not exist. The means is simple honesty. Do not deceive yourself about what the problem is and you must recognize it has been solved. Let me recognize my problems have been solved. This morning I received a message and it was the most glorious message. It continues and continues. A moment ago I have been feeling a deep conviction that I am not from this world that this whole world is just a thought. A feeling that I can remain silent without needing to speak, without needing to open my eyes and live in that deep peace. Only moving when my father tells me to move. Only speaking when he tells me to speak and live in this state of peace. There is an energy also moving through this body but the mind is in a peaceful state of joy and freedom in the heart. Then I woke up and I'm still in this state and feeling this beautiful stillness. I am feeling that this world is a lie that all my thoughts are lies and ephemeral. I am feeling and recognizing that this world offers me nothing that I want, that this world has no value, that everything is just interpretations of fear and that my thoughts are based on the world and fear. They are all the thoughts of something that does not exist. When I see unreality I feel deep peace and I feel love and deep connection to my father. Wow. Thank you. Thank you. What messages on this day in this lesson to receive this? It's truth. It's the spirit of love pouring through. It's very, very deep. Let me recognize my problems have been solved. I thought too for some support. I would share some words from Jesus from chapters 25 and 26 and 27 to float into the beautiful lesson of the day. Let me recognize my problems have been solved. From chapter 25, section 9, The Justice of Heaven, we drop down to paragraph 3. Be certain any answer to a problem the Holy Spirit solves will always be one in which no one loses. And this must be true because he has no sacrifice of anyone. An answer which demands the slightest loss to anyone has not resolved the problem but has added to it and made it greater, harder to resolve and more unfair. It is impossible the Holy Spirit could see unfairness as a resolution. To him what is unfair must be corrected because it is unfair. And every error is a perception in which one at least is seen unfairly. Thus is justice not accorded to the Son of God. When anyone is seen as losing, he has been condemned and punishment becomes his due instead of justice. The sight of innocence makes punishment impossible and justice sure. The Holy Spirit's perception leaves no ground for attack. Only a loss could justify attack and loss of any kind he cannot see. The world solves problems in another way. It sees a resolution as a state in which it is decided who shall win and who shall lose. How much the one shall take and how much can the loser still defend? Yet does the problem still remain unsolved for only justice can set up a state in which there is no loser, no one left unfairly treated and deprived? And thus with grounds for vengeance, problem-solving cannot be vengeance which at best can bring another problem added to the first in which the murderer is not obvious. The Holy Spirit's problem-solving is the way in which the problem ends. Yeah, let me recognize my problems have been solved. I'll say that again. The Holy Spirit's problem-solving is the way in which the problem ends. It has been solved because it has been met with justice until it has it will recur because it has not yet been solved. The principle that justice means no one can lose is crucial to this course. For miracles depend on justice not as it is seen through this world's eyes but as God knows it and as knowledge is reflected in the sight the Holy Spirit gives. So we have read that before that the justice of heaven is basically saying in heaven there is fairness because God is love. God creates only in love. Spirit is love. Eternity is love. And love is just because love is the only experience there is in heaven. So love is just. And in this world which is a belief in separation from God, linear time and space instead of eternity, the temporary instead of the eternal, then it's a world of opposites, of seeming opposites, a projection of the belief in opposition to God. The belief in separation to God is the ego and then it projects a world of opposites and past and future, winning, losing, up and down, right and wrong, men and women, on and on and on and on. All the seeming opposites are an attempt to defend against love, defend against God's will and defend against the Christ and the recognition that God and Christ share the same will. And that means that if I accept the Atonement then I must share the same will as God for perfect happiness. God is a God of happiness. God is a God of eternal love and if I accept the correction in my mind for the error of separation that means my problems are solved. Wow okay chapter 26. Chapter 26 section 2. Many forms one correction. It is not difficult to understand the reasons why you do not ask the Holy Spirit to solve all problems for you. He has not greater difficulty in resolving some than others. Every problem is the same to him because each one is solved in just the same respect and through the same approach. The aspects that need solving do not change. Whatever the form the problem seems to take. A problem can appear in many forms and it will do so while the problem lasts. It serves no purpose to attempt to solve it in a special form. It will recur and then recur again and yet again until it has been answered for all time and will not rise again in any form. And only then are you released. The Holy Spirit offers you release from every problem that you think you have. They are the same to him because each one regardless of the form it seems to take is a demand that someone suffer loss and make a sacrifice that you might gain. And when the situation is worked out so no one loses is the problem gone because it was an error in perception that now has been corrected. One mistake is not more difficult for him to bring to truth than is another. For there is but one mistake the whole idea that loss is possible and could result in gain for anyone. If this were true then God would be unfair. Sin would be possible attack be justified and vengeance fair. This one mistake in any form has one correction. There is no loss to think there is is a mistake. You have no problems though you think you have and yet you could not think so if you saw them vanish one by one without regard to size complexity or place and time or any attribute which you perceive that makes each one seem different from the rest. Think not limits you impose on what you see can limit God in any way. So this is why Jesus is the way the truth the life there heal the sick walk on water turn water to wine the the lame can walk the blind can see miracles miracles miracles you know it's it's also what Jesus tells us in the course you can heal the sick and raise the dead he says in the miracle principles at the beginning of the book you can heal the sick and raise the dead because you make made sickness and death and can abolish them both yeah that's the Holy Spirit there's no order of difficulty in miracles there's no hierarchy of illusions and and that's why he's saying and you could not think so you could not think that there were problems if you saw them vanish one by one without regard to size complexity or place and time or any attribute which you perceive that makes each one seem different from the rest. So that's why there is no limit to what miracles can do if God is with us who can be against us it's it's Jesus telling us that if you think like God if you think with the Holy Spirit if you think with the mind of Christ you have no problems and you are above all problems you are beyond all problems you are not limited in any way and and the ego can impose no limits on the the sight of Christ the sight of Christ is all there is to see the song of Christ is all there is to hear the hand of Christ is all there is to hold there is no journey but to walk with him when you're with Christ when you're with the Holy Spirit that is the the journey's end you're in the present moment the journey of time and space comes to a washout when you go into the holy instant when you're in lined up with God then the perception is corrected the miracle of justice can correct all errors every problem is an error it does injustice to the Son of God and therefore is not true the Holy Spirit does not evaluate injustices as great or small or more or less they have no properties to him they are mistakes from which the Son of God is suffering but needlessly and so he takes the thorns and nails away he does not pause to judge whether the hurt be large or little he makes but one judgment that to hurt God's Son must be unfair and therefore is not so you who believe it is safe to give but some mistakes to be corrected while you keep the others to yourself remember this justice is total there is no such thing as partial justice if the Son of God is guilty then is he condemned and he deserves no mercy from the God of justice but ask not God to punish him because you find him guilty and would have him die God offers you the means to see his innocence would it be fair to punish him because you will not look at what is there to see each time you keep a problem for yourself to solve or judge that it is one that has no resolution you have made it great and past the hope of healing you deny the miracle of justice can be fair if God is just then there can be no problems that justice cannot solve but you believe that some injustices are fair and good and necessary to preserve yourself it is these problems that you think are great and cannot be resolved for there are those you want to suffer loss and no one whom you wish to be preserved from sacrifice entirely consider once again your special function one has given you to see in him his perfect sinlessness and you will ask no sacrifice of him because you could not will he suffer loss the miracle of justice you call forth will rest on you as surely as on him nor will the Holy Spirit be content until it is received by everyone for what you give to him is everyone's and by your giving it can he ensure that everyone receives it equally think then how great your own release will be when you are willing to receive correction for all your problems that's our lesson think then how great your own release will be when you are willing to receive correction for all your problems our lesson today let me recognize my problems have been solved it's a perceptual problem linear time is a perceptual problem fragmented bits of person's places things history of of time and space of of of minutes and seconds and minutes and hours and weeks and months and years and and decades and centuries ah ah ah no no no history is not the the problem it's the perception of a fragmented past present and future which the ego invented that's the problem the belief in separation from god and the belief in linear time in the linear cosmos that's the problem but let me recognize my problems have been solved think then how great your own release will be when you are willing to receive correction for all your problems you will not keep one for pain in any form you will not want and you will see each little hurt resolved before the Holy Spirit's gentle sight for all of them are little in his sight and worth no more than just a tiny sigh before they disappear to be forever undone and unremembered what seemed once to be a special problem a mistake without a remedy or an affliction without a cure has been transformed into universal blessing sacrifice is gone and in its place the love of god can be remembered and will shine away all memory of sacrifice and loss okay chapter 27 the healing of the dream let's go to section five and down to paragraph six come to the holy instant and be healed for nothing that is there received is left behind on your returning to the world and being blessed you will bring blessing life is given you to give the dying world and suffering eyes no longer will accuse but shine and thanks to you who blessing gave the holy instance radiance will light your eyes and give them sight to see beyond all suffering and see Christ face instead healing replaces suffering who looks on one cannot perceive the other for they cannot both be there and what you see the world will witness and will witness to thus is your healing everything the world requires that it may be healed it needs one lesson that has perfectly been learned and then when you forget it will the world remind you gently of what you have taught no reinforcement will be will its thanks withhold from you who let yourself be healed that it might live it will call forth its witnesses to show the face of Christ to you who brought the sight to them by which they witnessed it the world of accusation is replaced by one in which all eyes look lovingly upon the friend who brought them their release and happily your brother will perceive the many friends he thought were enemies problems are not specific but they take specific forms and these specific shapes make up the world and no one understands the nature of this problem if he did it would be there no more for him to see its very nature is that it is not and thus while he perceives it he cannot perceive it as it is but healing is apparent in specific instances and generalizes to include them all this is because they really are the same despite their different forms all learning aims at transfer which becomes complete within two situations that are seen as one for only common elements are there yet this can only be attained by one who does not see the differences you see the total transfer of your learning is not made by you but that it has been made in spite of all the differences you see condenses you that they could not be real your healing will extend and will be brought to problems that you thought were not your own and it will also be apparent that your many different problems will be solved as any one of them has been escaped it cannot be their differences which made this possible for learning does not jump from situations to their opposites and bring the same results all healing must proceed in lawful manner in accord with laws that have been properly perceived but never violated fear you not the way that you perceive them you are wrong but there is one within you who is right leave then the transfer of your learning to the one who really understands his laws and who will guarantee that they remain unviolated and unlimited your part is merely to apply what he has taught you to yourself and he will do the rest and it is thus the power of your learning will be proved to you by all the many different witnesses it finds your brother first among them will be seen but thousands stand behind him and beyond each one of them are a thousand more each one may seem to have a problem that is different from the rest yet they are solved together and their common answer shows the questions could not have been separate peace be to you to whom is healing offered and you will learn that peace is given you when you accept the healing for yourself that's giving it to the Holy Spirit that's giving every single belief concept thought desire everything over to the Holy Spirit give it all to Jesus and he takes it away if the Lord is your Lord if the God of heaven is your God if the spirit is your spirit if the oneness is your oneness if the light is the light of heaven and it is yours and God's and everyone's then the
