Lesson 287 – You are my goal, my Father. Only You.

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

As a romantic, I enjoy the permission to love one and only one, exclusively, continuously, madly in love with this One!  And I enjoy the paradox that my exclusivity is Inclusive, and my lover is my Father.  How deliciously outside the law and Perfectly Mysterious is my only Goal.

LESSON 287

You are my goal, my Father.  Only You.

Where would I go but Heaven?  What could be a substitute for happiness?  What gift could I prefer before the peace of God?  What treasure would I seek and find and keep that can compare with my Identity?  And would I rather live with fear than love?

You are my goal, my Father.  What but You could I desire to have?  What way but that which leads to You could I desire to walk?  And what except the memory of You could signify to me the end of dreams and futile substitutions for the truth?  You are my only goal.  Your Son would be as You created him.  What way but this could I expect to recognize my Self, and be at one with my Identity?
