 We continue today with lesson 268. 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 to sickly forms. Let me be willing to withdraw my wishes from its unity. And thus to let it be as you created it. For thus will I be able, too, to recognize myself as you created me. In love was I created. And in love will I remain forever. What could frighten me when I let all things be exactly as they are? 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 wholly safe. And it is only this we seek today. Amen.
