This holy instant would I give to You. Be You in charge. For I would follow You, Certain that Your direction gives me peace.
And if I need a word to help me, He will give it to me. If I need a thought, that will He also give. And if I need but stillness and a tranquil, open mind, these are the gifts I will receive of Him. He is in charge by my request. And He will hear and answer me, because He speaks for God my Father and His holy Son.
My heart flutters like a small bird in my chest … hope, anticipation, release! First, a feeling of being held tenderly in my Father’s Hand. Then … as I settle and feel safe … His Hand opens and … I am released without being let go … God’s Extension is total freedom and complete unity simultaneously.

The Great Rays remain forever still and undisturbed within me. Reaching inside in silence and in certainty, Peace is right Here … Holy, Holy, Holy Innocent Peace … Amen.
LESSON 360
Peace be to me, the holy Son of God. Peace to my brother, who is one with me. Let all the world be blessed with peace through us.
Father, it is Your peace that I would give, receiving it of You. I am Your Son, forever just as You created me, for the Great Rays remain forever still and undisturbed within me. I would reach to them in silence and in certainty, for nowhere else can certainty be found. Peace be to me, and peace to all the world. In holiness were we created, and in holiness do we remain. You Son is like to You in perfect sinlessness. And with this thought we gladly say “Amen.”
I have imprisoned myself, forgotten that I did so, judged myself a sinner, blamed my Father and my brothers for that, felt guilty, terrified and alone … but, hallelujah!, I was wrong 🙂 And in that error, in that wrongness, all that happened was I hallucinated and believed that what I hallucinated was real; all that happened was I limited my Self and believed I was a personal self — me. Now I am using “me” to awaken to the Truth: I am the Wholeness and the Oneness of the Living Loving Light which is eternally and infinitely Peaceful. Forgiveness is the recognition that what I think I think, and what I think I see, is merely illusion. And so it is. Happy Unborn Day, Jesus!
LESSON 359
God’s answer is some form of peace. All pain Is healed; all misery replaced with joy. All prison doors are opened. And all sin Is understood as merely a mistake.
Father, today we will forgive Your world, and let creation be Your Own. We have misunderstood all things. But we have not made sinners of the holy Sons of God. What You created sinless so abides forever and forever. Such are we. And we rejoice to learn that we have made mistakes which have no real effects on us. Sin is impossible, and on this face forgiveness rests upon a certain base more solid than the shadow world we see. Help us forgive, for we would be redeemed. Help us forgive, for we would be at peace.
Words are not necessary to call to God. A sincere heart is all that is required. And even an unsure heart can be willing to be sincere. Ask to recognize what you already are, ask to use your life to love and be loved, ask to be used as a clear conduit, ask that every aspect of your individual life be a symbol of God’s Love for the highest good of All … ask for this and you can’t go wrong. Ask and it is given.
LESSON 358
No call to God can be unheard nor left Unanswered. And of this I can be sure; His answer is the one I really want.
You Who remember what I really am alone remember what I really want. You speak for God, and so You speak for me. And what You give me comes from God Himself. Your Voice, my Father, then is mine as well, and all I want is what You offer me, in just the form You choose that it be mine. Let me remember all I do not know, and let my voice be still, remembering. But let me not forget your Love and care, keeping Your promise to Your Son in my awareness always. Let me not forget myself is nothing, but my Self is all.
When I see the Light of Innocence in my brother, I see the Light of Innocence in myself. This Light of Innocence is the miracle. Forgiveness is the reflection of God’s Limitless, unconditional, all-inclusive Love. Forgiveness is the reflection of Truth … Miracle Principle 21: Miracles are natural signs of forgiveness. Through miracles you accept God’s forgiveness by extending it to others …
LESSON 357
Truth answers every call we make to God, Responding first with miracles, and then Returning unto us to be itself.
Forgiveness, truth’s reflection, tells me how to offer miracles, and thus escape the prison house in which I think I live. Your holy Son is pointed out to me, first in my brother; then in me. Your Voice instructs me patiently to hear Your Word, and give as I receive. And as I look upon Your Son today, I hear Your Voice instructing me to find the way to You, as You appointed that the way shall be:
One problem: unconsciousness of the choice for separation. One solution: the Atonement which recognizes the separation never occurred. One sickness: mental illness. One healing: miracles collapse time and awaken us to Timelessness. Call on Your Name and discover What you are.
LESSON 356
Sickness is but another name for sin. Healing is but another name for God. The miracle is thus a call to Him.
Father, You promised You would never fail to answer any call Your Son might make to You. It does not matter where he is, what seems to be his problem, nor what he believes he has become. He is Your Son, and You will answer him. The miracle reflects Your Love, and thus it answers him. Your Name replaces every thought of sin, and who is sinless cannot suffer pain. Your Name gives answer to Your Son, because to call Your Name is but to call his own.
