LESSON THIRTY-EIGHT

Lesson 38:

“There is nothing my holiness cannot do…”

Nothing… Nothing for Everything! …hmmm…. Not a bad deal… Not a bad deal, indeed, for a mind once lost in hopelessness, yes?.... Not a bad deal, at all...

My holiness answers every question with the truth of what I am. THE TRUTH OF WHAT I AM is that I am forever exactly as God created me; unchangeable, eternal love…. This is true regardless of my awareness of it.

I can and have delayed using the whole gamut of convoluted tactic… Terrified to give up what I thought was control, (cosmic laugh) I have attempted every possible method to distract myself from my function here. My function in this life is to experience my holiness through forgiving everything I think or I ever thought, perceived seem to experience, and allow instead, my holiness to bless and transform it all to a perception of love… the light of understanding.

Indeed, the ego puts up a fierce battle-to the-death for allegiance to its nothingness with promises then threats when necessary. But here’s the thing, one cannot solve a situation from the level of mind that experiences the situation as reality. OMG, the wasted life force believing, hanging on to this little futile effort in an attempt to eradicate the feelings of hopelessness, guilt, and grief; compounded by ‘the obsession for more and/or better something’ drives us through careful placement of ‘idol’ dreams, and plan; plans for a better ‘tomorrow’, for a better ME ~ You know the ones… they come with a mind – split; a mind that thinks it has actually accomplished the impossible and dethroned God. It is Excruciating! Hell you might say, looking from a sane mind.

Thank heavens our holiness, by virtue of what is, and the Power of God which is always in us, we are saved, saved from ourselves, for our Self. The holy captains of our own little ship, in His might fleet, so to speak What I love about the Course is that it gives us  as steady course by which to steer back to the truth of  who we are as God created us and everlasting peace… isn’t that after all, all we ever wanted.  

Sure its scary at first… we’ve believed the dream real for as long as memory has served it. And if we’re honest, if it was still working for us, we wouldn’t be doing the Course… It seems, only when the pain of the problem becomes greater than the pain of the solution, will be (the human race) do anything about the problem… ego rule).

Funny though, looking at this seeming horror square on, has turned out to be nothing I imagined at all…as a matter of fact, ~ it turns out to be ‘nothing at all’…imagine that…  It turns out, that the ‘best this world had to offer’ is exactly the same as the ‘worst this world had to offer’. It is all “nothing”... dressed-up noisy fluff~ ~~~Poof~~~ and behind all that ‘noise’, was what I was REALLY trying to avoid ~ MY HOLINESS ~ the unbearable lightness of my BEING…unbearable only to the ego reign, as the light of what I am, literally burns ego to annihilation off its defiled throne, which I willing placed on the alter of God’s Son within my mind.

This annihilation ~ this waking up from the dream of many ~ has been magnificently powerful, humbling, beautiful ~and actually quite gentle, safe and warm. Onemind /the Sonship has dominion over all things because of what we are. ...Always. Already. Everything. All power in the universe. All Glory to God.

…As it turns out, there is nothing my holiness cannot do…

I keep thinking of the part in the Course called The Changeless Dwelling Place. It moves me to tears of overwhelming gratitude. I invite you to add it to your Course study for today. (T-29.V.1)

We are at home in our holiness, today and always…and there is nothing that our holiness cannot do…
