 Of course, in Miracles, we're working with Jesus on mind training, freeing our mind of every scrap of judgments. He told us 2,000 years ago, judge not, let's be judged. And so we're working on letting go of judgments, clearing the mind of all of the debris, of all of the distracting ego thoughts, clearing our mind of all these seeming private thoughts, that we've tried to think apart from God and opening our hearts up to the love of God. As Jesus said, bless those, bless that are the peer of heart for they shall see God. And that's what we're working on with our daily lessons. So today, we're going to follow Jesus in his mind training as he keeps unwinding our mind back to God, purifying our heart, taking us back to the light. And we have lesson 53 today. It's a review lesson in part one of the workbook review one. My meaningless thoughts are showing me a meaningless world. Since the thoughts of which I am aware do not mean anything, the world that pictures them can have no meaning. What is producing this world is insane. And so is what it produces. Reality is not insane. And I have real thoughts as well as insane ones. I can therefore see a real world if I look to my real thoughts as my guide for seeing. I am upset because I see a meaningless world. Insane thoughts are upsetting. They produce a world in which there is no order anywhere. Only chaos rules a world that represents chaotic thinking. And chaos has no laws. I cannot live in peace in such a world. I am grateful that this world is not real. And that I need not see it at all unless I choose to value it. And I do not choose to value what is totally insane and has no meaning. A meaningless world engenders fear. The totally insane engenders fear because it is completely undependable and offers no grounds for trust. Nothing in madness is dependable. It holds out no safety and no hope. But such a world is not real. I have given it the illusion of reality and have suffered from my belief in it. Now I choose to withdraw this belief and place my trust in reality. In choosing this, I will escape all effects of the world of fear because I am acknowledging that it does not exist. God did not create a meaningless world. How can a meaningless world exist if God did not create it? He is the source of all meaning and everything that is real is in his mind. It is in my mind too because he created it with me. Why should I continue to suffer from the effects of my own insane thoughts when the perfection of creation is my home? Let me remember the power of my decision and recognize and recognize where I really abide. My thoughts are images that I have made. Whatever I see reflects my thoughts. It is my thoughts that tell me where I am and what I am. The fact that I see a world in which there is suffering and loss and death shows me that I am seeing only the representation of my insane thoughts. And I am not allowing my real thoughts to cast their beneficent light on what I see. Yet God's way is sure. The images I have made cannot prevail against him because it is not my will that they do so. My will is his and I will place no other gods before him. So beautiful, the undoing continues, the unwinding continues clearing away the mind, sweeping away illusory thoughts and beliefs and opening to the pristine Christ's mind, the Abraham before Abraham was I am I am present's mind, that is our reality, that is our real thoughts and I won't see a happy dream, a real world. I won't see true perception unless I'm willing to let my real thoughts shine and share without any obstruction, without anything blocking them. So we're just having the mirror of our mind cleaned and cleared so that we can truly see with the vision of Christ. I thought I would have had a couple other thoughts here from a little piece from workbook lesson 139 and a little piece from lesson 157. In thanks for all creation in the name of its creator and his oneness with all aspects of creation, we repeat our dedication to our cause today each hour as we lay aside all thoughts that would distract us from our holy aim. For several minutes, let your mind be cleared of all foolish cobwebs which the world would weave around the Holy Son of God and learn the fragile nature of the chains that seem to keep the knowledge of yourself apart from your awareness. Sweet. And today we will embark upon a course you have not dreamed of but the Holy One, the giver of the happy dreams of life, translator of perception into truth, the holy guide to heaven giving you, has dreamed for you this journey which you make and start today with the experience this day holds out to you to be your own. Into Christ's presence will we enter now, serenely unaware of everything except his shining face and perfect love. The vision of his face will stay with you but there will be an instant which transcends all vision, even this the holiest. This you will never teach for you attained it not through learning yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant and will surely know again. Whoa, that's the reason we do this. So yeah, several of you have written in to have a call. A few things going on today but I'm going to see if I can make room and have some chats here and the thing that's so beautiful is that we're unwinding from the make-believe self-concept. You know, we just recently had lesson 50, I am sustained by the love of God and that really is what brings the peace and the love and the harmony into awareness when we really give our self-permission, give our mind permission to take no thought for the things of this world. As Jesus said 2000 years ago, take no thought for what you should wear or what you should eat. We can expand that now. Take no thought for the relationships that seem to have been difficult for you. Take no thought for things like careers and jobs and take no thought for the internet. That's a big one. In this day and age it was called very much of a digital age. Yeah, it's just permission to drop deep into the mind and sink into that stillness and certainty and sureness. Our holiness, it's really allowing our holiness to shine forth, embrace the holiness, merge with the holiness, feel gratitude for the holiness. The holiness is our reality. The holiness is actually a state of joy. So what we're doing is we're simply just embracing the joy and allowing ourselves to be as we were created in spirit. We are spirit. That's going to be one of our lessons coming up. I am spirit. I am the Holy Son of God Himself. I am one with my Creator. I am one with my Source. Yeah, this is, this is, those are real thoughts. And the whole point is to clear the debris away. You know, sweep the dark thoughts away. Give them to the Holy Spirit. Give them to Jesus and let them be dissolved because they had no basis in reality. Dark thoughts were not created by God. And if they weren't created by God, then they don't, they don't have a source. The ego is not a real source. So you can't have real effects. So you can get my drift. This is, this is a call to joy. We're ringing the joy bell. We're ringing the joy note here. So thank you. Thank you for being on this beautiful journey with me. Thank you for sharing this moment together. And God bless you. Have a glorious day of resounding joy. Make a joyful noise unto the Lord. It is you. It is you that are the joy. Thank you.
