March 12th 2014  Lesson 358

Part II  Introduction

  • We will continue spending time with God each morning and night and at each waking hour, using all future lessons as introductions to the times in which we leave the world of pain, and go to enter peace, calling to God when we have need of Him as we are tempted to forget our goal.  During these holy times, we will say some simple words of welcome, and expect our Father to reveal Himself to us, as He has promised that He would when we invited Him.

    This is how our times with Him will now be spent:  we say the words of invitation that His Voice suggests, and then we wait for Him to come to us.  Sit silently and wait upon your Father.  He has willed to come to you when you have recognized it is your will He do so.  We need only call to God, and all temptations disappear.  Instead of words, we need but feel His Love.  Instead of prayers, we need but call His Name.  Instead of judging, we need but be still and let all things be healed. 

    Our lessons will now be preceded by a theme of special relevance that we should review before each lesson until another is given us.  They should be slowly read and thought about a little while, preceding one of the holy times we sit in silence and wait for God to reveal Himself to us.  The next of these special thoughts follow and are relevant to lessons 351 - 360:

      14. What Am I?

    I am God's Son, complete and healed and whole, shining in the reflection of His Love.  In me is His creation sanctified and guaranteed eternal life.  In me is love perfected, fear impossible, and joy established without opposite. I am the holy home of God Himself.  I am the Heaven where His Love resides.  I am His holy Sinlessness Itself, for in my purity abides His Own.

    Our use for words is almost over now.  Yet in the final days of this one year we gave to God together, you and I, we found a single purpose that we shared.  And thus you joined with me, so what I am are you as well.  The truth of what we are is not for words to speak of nor describe.  Yet we can realize our function here, and words can speak of this and teach it, too, if we exemplify the words in us.

    We are the bringers of salvation.  We accept our part as saviors of the world, which through our joint forgiveness is redeemed. And this, our gift, is therefore given us.  We look on everyone as brother, and perceive all things as kindly and as good.  We do not seek a function that is past the gate of Heaven. Knowledge will return when we have done our part.  We are concerned only with giving welcome to the truth.

    Ours are the eyes through which Christ's vision sees a world redeemed from every thought of sin.  Ours are the ears that hear the Voice for God proclaim the world as sinless.  Ours the minds that join together as we bless the world.  And from the oneness that we have attained we call to all our brothers, asking them to share our peace and consummate our joy.

    We are the holy messengers of God who speak for Him, and carrying His Word to everyone whom He has sent to us, we learn that it is written on our hearts.  And thus our minds are changed about the aim for which we came, and which we seek to serve.  We bring glad tidings to the Son of God, who thought he suffered.  Now is he redeemed.  And as he sees the gate of Heaven stand open before him, he will enter in and disappear into the Heart of God. 

      

    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.

  • Invitation Prayer:   You Who remember what I really am alone remember what I really want.  You speak for God, and so You speak fro 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.


Insights/comments:
  • We are the holy children of God.  We are as God created us and as we remain:  perfect, Spirit, free.  This is true for everyone and everything in creation, which together form the unified sonship or the Holy Son of God.  The holy Son of God, the integrated unity of all that is, is one-third of the unified holy Trinity of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  The Holy Spirit, the Voice for God, is that pat of the Holy Trinity that facilitates the communication and integration between the the Father and all aspects of the sonship.  The Holy Spirit knows our dreams and illusions but is not affected by them as we are, He is the Voice guiding us to salvation through the practice of forgiveness.  This is how we, as individuals, are united with each other and with our Creator.  This is how God knows our hearts and minds and why all calls to Him are heard and answered even before they are asked.  His answer is Forgiveness through our increasing understanding that we are unified with all of creation and with our Creator.  As echoed in the ancient scriptures of the Vedas: Aham Brahmasmi (I am Brahman, the Divine;)  tat tvam asi (you are that Divine); and Sarvam khalvidam Brahma (all of this creation is Brahman, the Divine).
I and my Creator are One.  *:)
