LESSON FIFTY-NINE

Lesson 59:

God goes with me wherever I go… God is my strength. Vision is His gift… God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him… God is the light in which I see… God is Mind in which I think…

What if this is the template? What if I run today’s “to do-list’ through this criteria? Would it perhaps alter my experience?
It is just these types of questions I have asked again and again in different forms against similar proofs. Rhetorical questions really, driving me ever deeper within…deeper into the stillness of the living moment…into the peace that passeth understanding ~ the peace of God~ …God goes with me wherever I go…
As I have given over to my relationship with Jesus through A Course in Miracles, and experienced peace through, its compelling message and direction, an increasing devotion to correction toward the truth has been the naturally out-cropping. The restoration to peace is virtually irresistible. God is my strength. Vision is his gift.

 Regardless of my wandering, seeking, escaping persona’s seeming need to seek outside myself, unmistakable ‘cha-chink’ took place from my very first exchange with the Course. The Course is the perfect reflection of Jesus’ undying devotion to me and for me; His astonishing love; compassionate acceptance and assured by this experience, one naturally must question the validity of guilt. God is my Source. I cannot see apart from Him.

The relationship developed with the Holy Spirit through the Course and the natural transfer of training to habitual turning within, first for meaning, defies all my laws about worthiness, judgment, being right and smart and helpful and good… I would have myself pay the price for the crime of ‘getting it wrong’, blowing it off, or whatever form the distraction might be taking, in the forefront at the time, always with more guilt. But it was all just so much noise. Forgiveness reveals that what is not of good is not nowhere and nothing…God is the light in which I see.

The Holy Spirit would offer peace every time, accompanied by an ever compelling call to sink deeper, and deeper still…into the Mind of God, in which I think, into Now …NOW, is the holy instant of release and restoration…

We simply must be willing to look within… Turns out, we are what we were searching for and there it is…always…already present… God is light in which we see… our strength, vision, our thoughts… God goes with us wherever we go…
