Speaker 3 (06:27):
So good morning, everyone, and thank you for being here.
And truly, what more do you need to know than
what we just heard in the lyrics of that song
who walks with Me? And so it is really true.
(06:48):
It's true that you do walk with God in perfect holiness.
It is true you're not a body, you are free
for you are still as God creates you. It is
true there is no peace except the peace of God.
(07:08):
Those are true ideas. They're not open to any sort
of equivocation or discussion or limitation of any sort. And
so we are here together, and today is our last
(07:29):
lesson in part one of the workbook, which is the
undoing of and he says in the introduction of the
way you see now, well, this is our two hundred
and twenty of the day, and hopefully you're not seeing
that way anymore. But this is this is the idea
(07:53):
that you know. As we read in the text, I
do not know the thing I am until and until this,
and to this open and unsealed mind, the truth comes. Now.
I'm paraphrasing because I don't remember what it is verbatim.
But this is really your own undoing of what never was.
(08:19):
We use the same words, but what is being addressed
and what you are addressing in your willingness to practice
these lessons because you're not going to conceptually get it.
I mean, the concept is there for you to use,
(08:40):
but your conceptual understanding of it isn't the experience. It
is the experience. And every time, every single instant that
you grab hold of what you already know, what you
(09:01):
think you already know, is all based on your body identification.
Your need to do all of it is based on this.
The need to respond, the need to hold a grievance,
the need to be under laws of man is all
based on your assumption that you are this. This is
(09:24):
the undoing of all of that, And you want to
hold on to this idea of yourself and think you're
making progress. It's not true. This is literally a program
of letting go. And so what you believe you need,
(09:44):
what you believe, you want what you believe about yourself
in every single regard, it is not true you are
writing the script, but there is. It's another script that
has already been written. So the question really is, and
(10:06):
this is the question that is you are presented with
each moment of the day, and this is the question
that you answer each moment of the day, by your
own experience, by your own desire, is what script do
you want? Do you want to know yourself as you are?
(10:37):
And if you do, it's a simple matter of letting
go of your own script. And so when we look
at the undoing, and I'm going back to the introduction
to the workbook, this is the undoing of the way
you see now, this undoing is simply you cease to
(10:58):
rely on your own own definition of yourself in every regard.
You really are becoming or assuming a divine ignorance, if
you will, but not ignorance, and in an ignorance of
(11:19):
the truth. It is an ignorance of what never was true. Okay,
so yes, we know, I know for myself. I'm not
instructing you as though this is not my own program,
because it is my own program. But if we offer
any uh, brother, if we offer anyone a service what
(11:44):
we offer here, and I know this is true of
many of you, and then many of you are listening,
is we are witnessing to the fact truth of God.
That how would I express this? We know the world
(12:11):
we see has nothing to do with reality. It is
of your own making and it does not exist. Okay,
So you're in this moment of your awareness that this
is not your reality. You don't quite remember your reality
(12:37):
in totality, but you know this is not it. So
in the sense, the second phase which we embark on
is the acquisition of true perception. What is true perception?
The recognition that everything is as God created it, Everything
(13:06):
is as God created. You are that and so is
every living thing, regardless of the images you see. But
that's total. That is total. It cannot be that you
are subject to laws of man and laws of God. No,
(13:30):
you are under no laws but God's. You are right
now under no laws but gods. You forget. You are
the script writer, and you are writing the script to
deny the totality of yourself, to deny the truth of yourself. Okay,
(13:55):
we're completing the first part. That is over. That is
not over in time in the sense that we didn't meet,
we didn't come to a place in time where we
say now that is over. No, it's over. When it's over.
In your occupation of your mind, it ceases where it starts. Okay,
(14:23):
so I got into it a little bit early on,
So thank you for listening, and I just want to
welcome everybody once again. But you know, we are really
only always expressing our own minds. You know what I speak,
I speak for myself. When I address I address myself.
(14:45):
I n I am making the statements for myself. It's
like you have to really pull yourself up by your
own bootstraps. Not that as you identified yourself. But the
fact is, and as we opened up you walk with
God in perfect holiness. All things are given you. What
(15:08):
you need to be cognizant of is what you're choosing,
and you are choosing each moment. That is your need
to be present, to be mindful. So let's just play
another song, and I'm going to get into just a
(15:29):
few paragraphs of the introduction for this review once again.
We've done it for twenty days now, we pretty much
know it by heart. But again, it's not the words,
it's really the idea that no compromise is possible. But
(15:49):
before we do, let's play another song. And we're going
to play this one.
Speaker 10 (16:34):
Thing that the book.
Speaker 3 (16:51):
And so.
Speaker 4 (17:13):
And leads my name inside me. He sees my name
across and diachles.
Speaker 11 (17:30):
To me.
Speaker 5 (17:32):
Now gos to me, remember and remember.
Speaker 10 (17:48):
The song is my ol.
Speaker 5 (17:55):
It sings all.
Speaker 3 (18:01):
The night.
Speaker 4 (18:07):
And stop the sun. I dream a separate.
Speaker 5 (18:36):
Dream to sleep, I dream too, no.
Speaker 10 (18:56):
Small me, no.
Speaker 5 (19:02):
Spaking.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
Then everything the song is my O.
Speaker 2 (19:24):
Sing so my.
Speaker 5 (20:03):
Sport it see.
Speaker 3 (21:28):
Thank you so much. How sweet the sound of eternity.
It's a song. It's like the Forgotten song. Like we read,
you're singing all of us, each of us is singing
our song. That is amazing because you know, I'm just
(21:49):
I'm getting off track a little bit. But if you
really look at a Course of Miracles, they talk about
the song, you know, the Forgotten song and the addendum
that Helen described later on was a song of prayer
and it talks about overtones and all this. So this
is the idea of the melody of the spheres, that
(22:12):
you know, everything is tone or energy or vibration, however
you want to say it. There's nothing solid about any
of this. You know, you are the light of the world.
You are that light. Everything is that light. This is
just an idea, an idea of yourself that could never
(22:36):
be and the best that you can give it it is.
It's a moment in time, but it is already over See.
This is allowing. This is what you have to make
up your mind about. You have to allow for a
truth as being your basis that you know, the idea
(23:00):
of seeking God is not a part time endeavor. This
is why we are the New Christian Church. A full endeavor.
This is a full endeavor. That's why our academy was
endeavor academy. There is nothing excluded. There's an every moment
(23:23):
of every day can be to remember if you want
it to be. See, the thing is is why you
get bored with it is as a concept to you,
but the moment you want it look out. All right,
(23:47):
let's go to our introduction now as we're gonna jump
down to the section where it says these pactice periods
like our last review are centered around so third paragraph
(24:08):
are centered around a central theme with which we start
and end. It is this, and I invite you to
say it with me. I am not a body. I
am free, for I am still as God created me.
(24:32):
The day begins and ends with this, and we repeat
it every time the hour strikes, or we remember in between.
We have a function that transcends the world we see
beyond this, and a.
Speaker 6 (24:49):
Special repetition excuse me, and a repetition of the special
thought we practice for the day. No form of exercise
is urged. Accept And I would like to triple underline this. Listen,
a deep relinquishment of everything that clutters up the mind
(25:13):
and makes it deaf to reason, sanity, and simple truth.
So you're either busy asserting what you believe about yourself
and everything, or you relinquish all of that and into
(25:38):
this clean and un an open.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Mind, the truth dawns on you. It's impossible, we s.
This is our lesson from one thirty. It's impossible to
see two worlds. It's impossible as long as you're busy
with your own idea of yourself and whatever. For that is,
no matter how holy you think it is, you're busy
(26:07):
with that. You're busy with this little idea of yourself.
Tain't true. It ain't so you are as God created you.
So thank you for bearing with me. And just repeating
the same thing. Okay, we will attempt to get beyond
(26:33):
all words and special forms of practicing for this review.
We will attempt. Oh sorry, I can't read today, for
we attempt this time to reach a quickened pace along
a shorter path to the serenity and peace of God. Remember,
(26:58):
I walk with God and perfect holiness. And so if
I'm walking with God in perfect holiness, this is a
quickened pace and a shorter path because I'm acknowledging who
I am, what I am, where I am, how I am,
(27:21):
and all of it. Yeah, the six things are the
five things, the winner, all of it. If God is
my source, God is your source. Again, these are not
(27:42):
just like nice pretty sentiments. This is a fact. If
you can just allow in this moment to rest with
the fact you don't have to try to acquire anything,
Rest with the truth. Rest with the fact we merely
(28:08):
close our eyes and then forget all that we thought
we knew and understood. This is rest. Yeah, For thus
is freedom given us from all we did not know
and failed to understand. There is one but one exception
(28:29):
to this lack of structury. Permit no idle thought to
go unchallenged if you notice one, deny as wold, and
hasten to ensure your mind that it is not what
you would have. Then gently lay the thought which you denied,
(28:50):
be given up, insure and quick exchange for the idea
we practice for the days. When you are attempted, hasten
to proclaim your freedom from temptation. As you say this thought,
I do not want. I choose Instead, I choose this.
(29:16):
I'm not a body. I am free. I'm not a body.
I am free. I'm not a body. I am free
for I am still as God created me. And our
(29:37):
thought for today is there is no peace. Accept the
peace of God. There is no peace. Accept the peace
of God. Let me not wander from the way of peace,
(30:00):
for I am lost on other roads than this. But
let me follow him who leads me home. And peace
is certain as the love of God. I am not
a body. I am free, for I am still as
(30:23):
God created me. I am not a body. I am free.
I am still as God created me. Beyond such special
applications of each day's idea, we will add but a
(30:50):
few formal expressions are specific thoughts to aid and practicing. Okay,
we just did that. Instead, we give these times of
quiet to the teacher. Teacher is capitalized here, to the
teacher who instructs in quiet, speaks of peace, and gives
(31:12):
our thoughts whatever meaning they may have. This is Jesus
once again, this is so biblical for me. I'm gonna
make the Bible reference in a moment. But here is
(31:32):
the prayer from Jesus to him. I offer this review
for you. I place you in his charge and let
him teach you what to do and say and think
(31:56):
each time you turn to him. So what is the
key here? You turn to him. You don't have to
figure it out, you don't have to know, you don't
have to concern yourself. Turn to him. He will teach
(32:16):
you what to do and say and think. Let him
teach you. The thing about learning right is when you
think you know, you will not learn. But if you're
willing to let him teach you, you literally lay down
your burden of self identity. That's amazing. So you see
(32:46):
that we're really teaching one action of mind here is
not a collection of a body of information. It's an
action of mind with the awareness, with the surreness, with
the certainty that you are as God created you, all right,
(33:16):
let me get back to this now. He will not
fail to be available to you each time you've called
to him to help you. Let us offer him the
whole review we now begin, and let us also not
forget to whom it has been given as we practice
(33:40):
day by day, advancing towards the goal he set for us,
allowing him to teach us how to go, and trusting
him completely for the way each practice period can best
become a loving gift of freedom to the world. So
(34:01):
I'm gonna put on a song or maybe a couple,
and we're gonna spend some time with our idea, and
I'm going to read it once more. I'm not a body.
I am free for I am still as God created me.
(34:26):
There is no peace except the peace of God. Let
me not wander from the way of peace, for I
am lost on other roads than this. But let me
follow him who leads me home, and peace is certain
as the love of God. I'm not a body. I
(34:50):
am free, for I am still as God created me.
Speaker 12 (34:59):
Hm yasht.
Speaker 5 (36:53):
At the same as stock.
Speaker 4 (38:20):
Nothing the.
Speaker 5 (38:28):
Perfect, the perfect, the.
Speaker 10 (40:19):
The ship.
Speaker 5 (41:30):
Any but you thinking.
Speaker 10 (42:26):
About a.
Speaker 5 (43:00):
Stop and.
Speaker 11 (46:03):
And and.
Speaker 3 (46:59):
Thank you so much, thank you, thank you. I love
you with all my heart, and we have just a
(47:19):
couple minutes left of our time together. And let's just
review a little bit from the original Lesson two hundred
and we're going to start at the fourth paragraph, come Home,
(47:46):
Come Home. You have not found your happiness in foreign
places and in alien forms that have no meaning to you,
though you sought to make meaningful. This world is not
where you belong. You are a stranger here, but it
(48:12):
has given you to find the means whereby the world
no longer seems to be a prison house or jail
for anyone. Freedom is given you where you beheld but
chains and iron doors. But you must change your minds
(48:36):
about the purpose of the world. If you would find escape,
you will be bound till all the world is seen
by you as blessed, and everyone made free of your
mistakes and honored as he is is you made him
(49:02):
not know more yourself, and as you free the one,
the other is accepted as he is. I'm gonna come
back to this, but I I want to just detour
over for a moment to John fourteen. And I think
(49:23):
Lord just can probably just translate it as I read it.
This is Jesus from John fourteen. This is the King
James version. Let not your heart be troubled. You believe
in God, believe also in me. In my father's house
(49:49):
are many mansions. If it were not so, I would
have told you I go to prepare a place for you.
He's gone to prepare the place. And if I go
and prepare a place for you, I will come again
and receive you unto myself. That where I am you
(50:14):
may also be. So you're acknowledged. Where he is, you
are there as well. And where I go, you know?
And the way you know? Thomas said to him, Lord,
(50:37):
we not n We know not where you go, and
how can we know the way? Listen, this is what
Jesus said. I am the Way, the Truth, and the life.
No man comes to the Father but by me. It
(50:59):
is all right. Already occurred. If you had known me,
you should have known my father also, And from henceforth
you know him and have seen him.
Speaker 5 (51:15):
You know.
Speaker 3 (51:16):
This is the way. Right. This is our review for today.
Let me not wander from the way of peace. The
way of peace is through your forgiveness. And now we
go back to our lesson. What does forgiveness do? In truth?
(51:38):
It has no function and does nothing, for it is
unknown in heaven. It is only hell where it is
needed and where it must serve a mighty function. Is
not the escape of God's beloved son from evil dreams
(51:58):
that he imagines yet believes are truth a worthy purpose.
Who could hope for more? While there appears to be
a choice to make between success and failure, love and fear,
there is no peace except the peace of God. Because
(52:19):
he has one son who cannot make a world in
opposition to God's will and to his own, which is
the same as his What could he hope to find
in such a world? It cannot have reality because it
never was created. Is it here that he would seek
(52:44):
for peace? Or must he see that as he looks
on it, the world can but deceive? Yet he can
learn to look on it another way and find the
peace of God. So I just want to thank you.
(53:06):
I'm gonna leave it there. I want to thank you
for being here, and I want to thank everybody who's
listening for tuning in. And I do want to express
once again my love for you. And we remind everyone
at the conclusion of these classes to stay with us,
(53:27):
because even though we quit broadcasting Lesson does not end here,
that we stay in the practice in our mind as
we watch the video of the day with the Master Teacher,
and I have to say, and I speak for many
of us, you know, I don't know how it happened
(53:52):
that I encountered the Master Teacher. Circumstances were what they were,
But the fact is in the moments that I can reflect, I.
Speaker 10 (54:06):
See that.
Speaker 3 (54:09):
The necessity for my encounter, for the mind that knows
who he is and never was uncertain of that, and
y and was willing to be the way, the truth
and the life as you are. And so we join
(54:33):
with him as we watch the video. So you're not
sitting back in the chair being you watching the Master
Teacher on the teacher. No, there is enjoining that you're
recognizing the oneself that we are. These His are your words,
He speaks for you. These are you. He is you?
(54:54):
Okay enough, I loved you so much and I want
to say thank you once again and have a most
wonderful day.
Speaker 11 (55:08):
You have been listening to voice from Heaven live in
the Miracles Healing Center. Remember that God's voice speaks to
you all through the day, that God goes with you
wherever you go, and that God is the mind with
which you think.
Speaker 3 (55:30):
God bless us everyone,
