 We are going through the workbook lessons of A Course in Miracles. These show the way, training our minds, transferring the training, putting the text lessons, the text principles into practical application in our daily lives here as we go through the workbook lessons. And this is definitely full on mind training of learning how to judge not, learning how to give our judgmental mind over to the Holy Spirit and letting it be returned as guidance, daily practical guidance from the Holy Spirit and Jesus. As we move through the experience and time and space, but really it's just letting go of beliefs, thoughts, emotions in our mind and all these distorted perceptions of linear time that are blocking us from the present moment. So today's lesson is lesson 65. My only function is the one God gave me. The idea for today reaffirms your commitment to salvation. It also reminds you that you have no function other than that. Both these thoughts are obviously necessary for a total commitment. Salvation cannot be the only purpose you hold while you still cherish others. The full acceptance of salvation as your only function necessarily entails two phases. The recognition of salvation as your function. And the relinquishment of all other goals you have invented for yourself. This is the only way in which you can take your rightful place among the Savior of the world. This is the only way in which you can say and mean, my only function is the one God gave me. This is the only way in which you can find peace of mind. Today and for a number of days to follow, set aside 10 to 15 minutes for more sustained practice created in which you try to understand and accept what the idea for the day really means. Today's idea offers you escapes from all your perceived disappointments, places the key to the door of peace, which you can close upon yourself in your own hands. Give you an answer to all the searching you have done since time began. Try if possible to undertake the daily extended practice periods at approximately the same time each day. Try also to determine the time in advance, and then adhere to it as closely as possible. The purpose is to arrange your day so that you have set apart the time for God as well as for all the trivial purposes and goals you will pursue. This is part of the long-range disciplinary framing behind needs so that the Holy Spirit can use it consistently for the purpose he shares with you. For the longer practice period, begin by reviewing the idea for the day. Then close your eyes, keep the idea to yourself once again, and watch your mind carefully to catch what are your thoughts and thoughts. At first, make note to concentrate only on thoughts related to the idea for the day. Rather, try to uncover each thought that arises to interfere with it. Note each one as it comes to you that as little involvement or concern as possible is missing each one by telling yourself, this thought has brought the goal that is preventing me from accepting my Holy Function. After a while, interfering thoughts will become harder to climb. Try, however, to continue many or so longer to make that you feel of the idle past that escaped your day before, but do not strain you on making undue effort in doing this. Tell yourself on this plain slate that my true function be written upon. You need not use these exact words, but try to get the sense of being willing to have your illusions of purpose be replaced by truth. Finally, repeat the idea of today and once more, and devote the rest of the part of the period trying to focus on the importance to you. The relief this acceptance will bring you by resolving your conflicts once and for all and extend to which you really want salvation despite your own foolish ideas to decompress. In the shorter part of this period, which should be in taking at least once an hour, use this form in applying today's idea. My only function is the one that I gave you. I want no other, and I have no other. I am as close your eyes as you practice this and sometimes keep it open and look about you. It is what you see now that will be totally changed to accept today's idea completely. My only function is the one that is so beautiful. Today we will go into the text or support or today's beautiful lesson. My only function is the one that I gave you. And this I have just typed into the search program two words, forgiveness, function. And we will go through what the search results have brought us. What Jesus says for us to support are practicing the lesson today. Again, try to do this about the same time during the day just outside of place, at time, and really just give full devotion over to the lesson of today. My only function is the one that I gave you. From chapter 9, section 9, section 4, chapter 9, section 4, follow the Holy Spirit's teaching in forgiveness. Because forgiveness is His function and He knows how to fulfill His purpose. From chapter 22, section 6, extension of forgiveness is the Holy Spirit's function, chapter 23, section 4. You cannot yet assume the only function won't be in the Son of God, or your own forgiveness of your brother is not complete as yet. So it cannot be extended to all creation. Chapter 24, section 2, you who have obtained your Savior to your specialness and given His place, remember this. He has not lost the power to forgive you all the sins you've sent to please between Him and the function of salvation given Him for you. Chapter 25, section 6, forgiveness is the only function meaningful in time. Chapter 26, section 4, and thus is He returned to His real function of creating which forgiveness offers Him. Chapter 26, section 7, forgiveness is the only function here and serves to bring the joy this world denies to every aspect of God's Son which was sent to rule. Chapter 27, section 2, if you in some corrections roll lose the function of forgiveness. So how beautiful as we go about practicing our lesson of the day, my only function is the one God gave me, we are reminded repeatedly that the Holy Spirit's function is forgiveness. The Holy Spirit's function is to restore salvation to the mind that is sleeping and dreaming of separation and exiles from God and God's love from exiles from the mind of God. The Christ seemed to fall asleep and dreamed by the force of forgiveness simply seeing the false as false. Simply looking upon the world and seeing the false as false. Just merely accepting the energy of the dream and the dream cannot make me do anything I can see that I do this. If I see that I'm dreaming I can accept the function of forgiveness of the dream. If I am identified with the body and the dream character like a shadow that is just helping me down and basically out of control but if I'm the dreamer of the dream then all is calm, all is bright and all is silent and all is peaceful. And so it's important to realize that I cannot personally do this because it is in my mind I need to see that I'm dreaming the dream and none of the characters have the meaning in and of themselves. None of the objects have any meaning in and of themselves. None of the things in this world have any meaning in and of themselves. Number one, nothing I see means anything and number two, we've gone through and given everything to see and that meaning was egoic it didn't give any real meaning to let go of the meaning that I think I've given to everything and everyone how beautiful we focus in and remember my only function is the one God gave me I had no other functions I would gladly relinquish all other goals and functions all self-conscious goals, everything I've planned and meaning to in this world as the future I truly relinquish salvation is my only function my only function and relinquish all other goals but to make it false self not interested in images and false self-conscious yes, interested in remembering my great presence that I am indeed the light of the world thank you everyone thanks for my love and let's go forth with a beautiful great holy day God bless you
