Lesson 90 – Review of Lessons 79 & 80

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

Problem and Answer are simultaneous.   The proper use of time is  realizing problem and Answer are simultaneous.  Therein lies the holy instant.  Experience enough holy instants and time is completely undone.

No time, no problem.  Forgive the grievance, welcome the miracle, accept God’s answer.

Time cannot separate this problem from its solution.  The-problem-which-never-happened is instantly undone by the memory of God within my mind.  Yes, I remember That 🙂

LESSON 90

For this review we will use these ideas:

(79)  Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.

Let me realize today that the problem is always some form of grievance that I would cherish.  Let me also understand that the solution is always a miracle with which I let the grievance be replaced.  Today I would remember the  simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one problem and one solution.  The problem is a grievance; the solution is a miracle.  And I invite the solution to come to me through my forgiveness of the grievance, and my welcome of the miracle that takes its place.

Specific applications of this idea might be in these forms:

This presents a problem to me which I would have resolved.
The miracle behind this grievance will resolve it for me.
The answer to this problem is the miracle that it conceals.

(80)  Let me recognize my problems have been solved.

I seem to have problems only because I am misusing time.  I believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse before it can be worked out.  I do not see the problem and the answer as simultaneous in their occurrence.  That is because I do not yet realize that God has placed the answer together with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by time.  The Holy Spirit will teach me this, if I will let Him.  And I will understand it is impossible that I could have a problem which has not been solved already.

These forms of the idea will be useful for specific applications:

I need not wait for this to be resolved.
The answer to this problem is already given me, if I will accept it.
Time cannot separate this problem from its solution.

Lesson 89 – Review of Lessons 77 & 78

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

Illusions hide miracles beyond …  seen truly this offers me a miracle …

It’s as if a spring-loaded trap flies open and the freshness of the expansive sky and brisk breeze send tingles through “me” … except I am not there … the me that was is soaring … through “time” and “space” to Something that is so dear, so near, so familiar, so right, so Everything, so No Thing.

The little me is discovered to be within this Greater Whole, holy and complete.  The little me was just an idea that dreamt a dream that evaporates into Timelessness upon awakening.

LESSON 89

These are our review ideas for today:

(77)  I am entitled to miracles.

I am entitled to miracles because I am under no laws but God’s.  His laws release me from all grievances, and replace them with miracles.  And I would accept the miracles in place of the grievances, which are but illusions that hide the miracles beyond.  Now I would accept only what the laws of God entitle me to have, that I may  use it on behalf of the function He has given me.

You might use these suggestions for specific applications of this idea:

Behind this is a miracle to which I am entitled.
Let me not hold a grievance against you, [name], but offer you the miracle that belongs to you instead.
Seen truly, this offers me a miracle.

(78)  Let miracles replace all grievances.

By this idea do I unite my will with the Holy Spirit’s, and perceive them as one.  By this idea do I accept my release from hell.  By this idea do I express my willingness to have all my illusions be replaced with truth, according to God’s plan for my salvation.  I would make no exceptions and no substitutes.  I want all of Heaven and only Heaven, as God wills me to have.

Useful specific forms for applying this idea would be:

I would not hold this grievance apart from my salvation.
Let our grievances be replaced by miracles, [name].
Beyond this is the miracle by which all my grievances are replaced.

Lesson 88 – Review of Lessons 75 & 76

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

I am under no laws but God’s … the Light has come … the Light is Law … in the Spirit, not the letter.  God’s law is a mighty expansion beyond anything the little ego-body can contain.  Once we are aware of this, God is easily felt loosening the flimsy fence we supposedly built around a tiny piece of the grandeur of the Self.

How is it we are still deluded, when we Know better?  Only the desire to play a game of make-believe can temporarily obscure True Identity.  It is revealed, little by little, to the extent to which we choose and can tolerate the Truth.

LESSON 88

Today we will review these ideas:

(75)  The light has come.

In choosing salvation rather than attack, I merely choose to recognize what is already there.  Salvation is a decision made already.  Attack and grievances are not there to choose.  That is why I always choose between truth and illusion; between what is there and what is not.  The light has come.  I can but choose the light, for it has no alternative.  It has replaced the darkness, and the darkness has gone.

These would prove useful forms for specific applications of this idea:

This cannot show me darkness, for the light has come.
The light in you is all that I would see [name].
I would see in this only what is there.

(76)  I am under no laws but God’s.

Here is the perfect statement of my freedom.  I am under no laws but God’s.  I am constantly tempted to make up other laws and give them power over me.  I suffer only because of my belief in them.  They have no real effect on me at all.  I am perfectly free of the effects of all laws save God’s.  And His are the laws of freedom.

For specific forms in applying this idea, these would be useful:

My perception of this shows me I believe in laws that do not exist.
I see only the laws of God at work in this.
Let me allow God’s laws to work in this, and not my own.

Lesson 87 – Review of Lessons 73 & 74

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

The peace of true perception reveals Light.  True seeing is Vision, not eyesight.  I am the light of the world.  I will there be light.  God says, “Relax.”  “Relax into Me, relax unto Thee, Relax.”  I am asking to listen, to stop thinking, to open a space to hear God, and My Father says, “Relax.”

It works.  The purple splotch, the spiritual eye, regards me peacefully.  Stillness arrives and pulses soothingly.

Beyond the body, beyond the pulsing, beyond concepts there is no will but God’s.  There are no laws but God’s.  His is the law of Infinite Love, Limitless Light, and Birthless, Deathless Life.

LESSON 87

Our review today will cover these ideas:

(73)  I will there be light.

I will use the power of my will today.  It is not my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal.  Light shall be my guide today.  I will follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on what it shows me.  This day I will experience the peace of true perception.

These forms of this idea would be helpful for specific applications:

This cannot hide the light I will to see.
You stand with me in light, [name].
In the light this will look different.

(74)  There is no will but God’s.

I am safe today because there is no will but God’s.  I can become afraid only when I believe there is another will.  I try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened.  Today I will recognize that all this has not occurred.  I am safe because there is no will but God’s.

These are some useful forms of this idea for specific applications:

Let me perceive this in accordance with the Will of God.
It is God’s Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as well.
This is part of God’s Will for me, however I may see it.

Lesson 86 – Review of Lessons 71 & 72

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

Only God’s plan for salvation will work.  Grievances are the ego’s plan for salvation and there is no use for them anymore.  As the personal “me” is seen for the dream figure it is from the view of the collective “I am” grievances are seen to be self-deluded attempts at self-protection.

Ego self-protection “protects” by attacking someone “out there.”  Self-protection is accomplished through projection.  Projection makes it seem like my brother is separate from me.  This could only be imagined if I believe myself to be separate from God.  I am not separate from God.  Which means I am One with God and my brothers which are actually One Brother, the Brotherly Extension of God’s creation.

The only way to be saved is to release the perception (block or obstacle) that little “me” is separate from my brothers and my Father.  This is done by giving grievances to the Holy Spirit, Who gladly receives them and grievances/darkness dissolves in the Light of God.  The delusional belief in the existence of grievances becomes teenier and tinier as the natural rising above the battleground occurs.

Grievances are a mask on the face of God’s Son.  Grievances are a mistaken attempt to protect a self-concept that needs no protection.  Grievances are a delusional state of mind which are no longer needed or desired when you do not buy the constricting mask that the ego proffers.  You have no face.  You have no name.  There is no “me.”   Just “Am” and “Is” and “Being” and “Truth” and “Reality.”  Thank God.

LESSON 86

These ideas are for review today:

(71)  Only God’s plan for salvation will work.

It is senseless for me to search wildly about for salvation.  I have seen it in many people and in many things, but when I reached for it, it was not there.  I was mistaken about where it is.  I was mistaken about what it is.  I will undertake no more idle seeking.  Only God’s plan for salvation will work.  And I will rejoice because His plan can never fail.

These are some suggested forms for applying this idea specifically:

God’s plan for salvation will save me from my perception of this.
This is no exception in God’s plan for my salvation.
Let me perceive this only in the light of God’s plan for salvation.

(72)  Holding grievances is an attack on God’s plan for salvation.

Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that God’s plan for salvation will not work.  Yet only His plan will work.  By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my only hope of salvation from my awareness.  I would no longer defeat my own best interests in this insane way.  I would accept God’s plan for salvation, and be happy.

Specific applications for this idea might be in these forms:

I am choosing between misperception and salvation as I look on this.
If I see grounds for grievances in this, I will not see the grounds for my salvation.
This calls for salvation, not attack.

Lesson 85 – Review of Lessons 69 & 70

Commentary (full lesson beneath commentary)

I open to the lesson and Light is streaming through my mind.

I become aware of Light within me … reflecting Light from without me … completely bathing me in Light … I am this Light.

LESSON 85

Today’s review will cover these ideas:

(69)  My grievances hide the light of the world in me.

My grievances show me what is not there, and hide from me what I would see.  Recognizing this, what do I want my grievances for?  They keep me in darkness and hide the light.  Grievance and light cannot go together, but light and vision must be joined for me to see.  To see, I must lay grievances aside.  I want to see, and this will be the means by which I will succeed.

Specific applications for this idea might be made in these forms:

Let me not use this as a block to sight.
The light of the world will shine all this away.
I have no need for this. I want to see.

(70)  My salvation comes from me.

Today I will recognize where my salvation is.  It is in me because its Source is there.  It has not left its Source, and so it cannot have left my mind.  I will not look for it outside myself.  It is not found outside and then brought in.  But from within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the light that shines in me and in itself.

These forms of the idea are suitable for more specific applications:

Let this not tempt me to look away from me for my salvation.
I will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my salvation.
This has no power to remove salvation from me.
