Lesson 57: covers Lessons 31 – 35
Concentrated Lesson juice. Ego mind is feeling a bit pummeled. That results in less thinking and an odd sensation that seems to be a level of relaxation that I am not used to.
Lesson 31: I am not the victim of the world I see. “The prison door is open. I can leave simply by walking out. Nothing holds me in this world. Only my wish to stay keeps me a prisoner.” !!! Honestly, most of my life has been spent fearing freedom. Freedom feels overwhelming, even threatening. How can I live up to freedom? Freedom makes me cower with a sense of inadequacy. Until now. Jesus has been encouraging me and I feel, not only willing, but ready. “I would give up my insane wishes and walk into the sunlight at last.”
Lesson 32: I have invented the world I see. In fact, I can only invent and imagine the world I see. But I cannot make it real. I may be afraid of freedom, but I have never not been free. Freedom is my inheritance. All I need do is see this.
Lesson 33: There is another way of looking at the world. I’ve been looking at the world all wrong, of course. That is the very purpose of the world, to see incorrectly. Everything I see is a smokescreen, a backdrop, a painted veil suggesting a reality that is not there. Remove the images and the veil remains; remove the veil and … Reality is realized.
Lesson 34: I could see peace instead of this. “When I see the world as a place of freedom, I realize that it reflects the laws of God instead of the rules I made up for it to obey.”
Lesson 35: My mind is part of God’s. I am very holy. I am OF God; I extend from God; I am created by God. My mind, which is an actuality way, way beyond the body, is the extension of God Mind, therefore I am holy for there is no other condition but wholeness. “As I share the peace of the world with my brothers” because I can no longer see another as separate from my Self, “I begin to understand that this peace comes from deep within myself.” Connecting with the Truth through the light of forgiveness undoes all inventions, mind manipulations and false beliefs. “I begin to understand the holiness of all living things, including myself, and their oneness with me.”
