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.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

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.

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.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

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.

Lesson 357 – Truth answers every call we make to God, responding first with miracles, and then returning unto us to be itself.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

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:

“Behold his sinlessness, and be you healed.”

Lesson 356 – Sickness is but another name for sin. Healing is but another name for God. The miracle is thus a call to Him.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

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.

Lesson 355 – There is no end to all the peace and joy, and all the miracles that I will give, when I accept God’s Word. Why not today?

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

God’s Word is beneath all words I have used to make up meaningless forms that seem utterly convincing.  Brush away the covering of “thoughts” and “words” and other symbols I made to talk myself into a “me,” a separate individual mini-god who still retains a touch of power from its Source but nothing compared to the Mighty Truth It Truly Is.  Today, I choose Unity and stop dreaming I am in exile and pretending that exile is a good thing.

LESSON 355

There is no end to all the peace and joy,
And all the miracles that I will give,
When I accept God’s Word.  Why not today?

 Why should I wait, my Father, for the joy You promised me?  For You will keep Your Word You gave Your Son in exile.  I am sure my treasure waits for me, and I need but reach out my hand to find it.  Even now my fingers touch it.  It is very close.  I need not wait an instant more to be at peace forever.  It is You I choose, and my Identity along with You.  Your Son would be Himself, and know You as his Father and Creator, and his Love.

Lesson 354 – We stand together, Christ and I, in peace and certainty of purpose. And in Him is His Creator, as He is in me.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

There is no differentiation between God and Christ, His Son.  Though God is Prime Creator, and creation began with Him, It extends exactly the same as He, creating Us as One.

LESSON 354

We stand together, Christ and I, in peace,
And certainty of purpose.  And in Him
Is His Creator, as He is in me.

 My oneness with the Christ establishes me as Your Son, beyond the reach of time, and wholly free of every law but Yours.  I have no self except the Christ in me.  I have no purpose but His Own.  And He is like His Father.  Thus must I be one with You as well as Him.  For who is Christ except Your Son as You created Him?  And what am I except the Christ in me?

Lesson 353 – My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today have but one purpose; to be given Christ to use to bless the world with miracles.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

When I do not interfere, my eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet are used as a conduit for God’s Love.  I am healed in the process of blessing the world with miracles.  Pure vessel, clear conduit, undone personally, discovered Universally.

LESSON 353

My eyes, my tongue, my hands, my feet today
Have but one purpose; to be given Christ
To use to bless the world with miracles.

 Father, I give all that is mine today to Christ, to use in any way that best will serve the purpose that I share with Him.  Nothing is mine alone, for He and I have joined in purpose.  Thus has learning come almost to its appointed end.  A while I work with Him to serve His purpose.  Then I lose myself in my Identity, and recognize that Christ is but my Self.

Lesson 352 – Judgment and love are opposites. From one come all the sorrows of the world. But from the other comes the peace of God Himself.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

I have within me both the memory of Love and the One Who leads me to Love … when I suspend all judgment and allow complete disorientation and release of personal identity then the memory of Love surfaces naturally, easefully and reveals what never was does not exist but What Always Is, Is Still …

LESSON 352

Judgment and love are opposites.  From one
Come all the sorrows of the world.  But from
The other comes the peace of God Himself.

Forgiveness looks on sinlessness alone, and judges not.  Through this I come to You.  Judgment will bind my eyes and make me blind.  Yet love, reflected in forgiveness here, reminds me You have given me a way to find Your peace again.  I am redeemed when I elect to follow in this way.  You have not left me comfortless.  I have within me both the memory of you, and the One Who leads me to it.  Father, I would hear Your Voice and find Your peace today.  For I would love my own Identity, and find in It the memory of You.

Lesson 351 – My sinless brother is my guide to peace. My sinful brother is my guide to pain. And which I choose to see I will behold.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

If I see my brother as sinful, I see a sinner when I look in the mirror.  If I see my brother as innocent, I see the face of Christ when I look in the mirror.  Choosing to see the face of Christ relieves us all of “alone and friendless” and gives us mental safety in a crazy dream world; I choose to walk with Spirit in the Name of Love.

LESSON 351

My sinless brother is my guide to peace.
My sinful brother is my guide to pain.
And which I choose to see I will behold.

 Who is my brother but Your holy Son?  And if I see him sinful I proclaim myself a sinner, not a Son of God; alone and friendless in a fearful world.  Yet this perception is a choice I make, and can relinquish.  I can also see my brother sinless, as Your holy Son.  And with this choice I see my sinlessness, my everlasting Comforter and Friend beside me, and my way secure and clear.  Choose, then, for me, my Father, through Your Voice.  For He alone gives judgment in Your Name.

Lesson 350 – Miracles mirror God’s eternal Love. To offer them is to remember Him, and through His memory to save the world.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

The Light is in my brother no matter what role his personality plays in this dream.  His character can be despicable or virtuous — his Light is still the same.  When I look into the mirror of God’s Love, I see God’s Love reflected back at me — God’s Love is the “Who” and the “What” I really am.  Reflections upon reflections upon reflections of Limitless Love is the final leg of a roadless journey undertaken in imagination yet never achieved in Reality.

LESSON 350

Miracles mirror God’s eternal Love.
To offer them is to remember Him,
And through His memory to save the world.

What we forgive becomes a part of us, as we perceive ourselves.  The Son of God incorporates all things within himself as You created him.  Your memory depends on his forgiveness.  What he is, is unaffected by his thoughts.  But what he looks upon is their direct result.  Therefore, my Father, I would turn to You.  Only Your memory will set me free.  And only my forgiveness teaches me to let Your memory return to me, and give it to the world in thankfulness.

And as we gather miracles from Him, we will indeed be grateful.  For as we remember Him, His Son will be restored to us in the reality of Love.
