July 11th 2015 Lesson 62
Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.
It is your forgiveness that will bring the world of darkness to the light. It is your forgiveness that lets you recognize the light in which you see. Forgiveness is the demonstration that you are the light of the world. Through your forgiveness does the truth about yourself return to your memory. Therefore, in your forgiveness lies your salvation.Illusions about yourself and the world are one. That is why all forgiveness is a gift to yourself. Your goal is to fine out who you are, having denied your Identity by attacking creation and its Creator. Now you are learning how to remember the truth. For this attack must be replaced by forgiveness, so that thoughts of life may replace thoughts of death.
Remember that in every attack you call upon your own weakness, while each time you forgive you call upon the strength of Christ in you. Do you not then begin to understand what forgiveness will do for you? I will remove all sense of weakness, strain and fatigue from your mind. It will take away all fear and guilt and pain. It will restore the invulnerability and power God gave His Son to your awareness.
You will want to think about this idea as often as possible today. it is the perfect answer to all illusions, and therefore to all temptation. It brings all the images you have made about yourself to the truth, and helps you depart in peace, unburdened and certain of your purpose.
- Intention: As many practice periods as possible should be undertaken with today's idea. It will help to make the day as happy for you as God wants you to be. And it will help those around you, as well as those who seem to be far away in space and time, to share this happiness with you.
- Practice: As often as you can, closing your eyes if possible, say to yourself today:
Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.
I would fulfill my function that I may be happy.
Then devote a minute or two to considering your function and the happiness and release it will bring you. Let related thoughts come freely, for your heart will recognize these words, and in your mind is the awareness they are true. Should your attention wander, repeat today's idea and add:
I would remember this because I want to be happy. - Application:
Be sure both to begin and end the day with a practice period. Thus you
will awaken with an acknowledgment of the truth about yourself,
reinforce throughout the day, and turn to sleep as you reaffirm your
function and your only purpose here. These two practice periods may be longer than the rest, if you find them helpful and want to extend them.
Insights/comments:
- Today's idea again reminds us of just how powerful we are: We are all the light of the world. This is what we are right here, right now, and forever. Today's lesson clarifies what our function is: forgiveness! We must forgive in order to bring light to the world. Forgiveness removes all sense of weakness, strain and fatigue from our minds. It takes away all fear and guilt and pain, and restores the invulnerability and power God gave to us. This is what forgiveness does, and in so doing it awakens the memory of our true identity, and our vision to see the world through the eyes of Christ. Our function is to give light through our forgiveness that we may know ourselves as the perfect children of God, and see the world as He created it.
I and my Creator are One.
