LESSON SEVENTY-FOUR

Lesson 74:

There is no will but God's…

Isn’t this the only thing that could be true? It always circles ‘round to the same crucial point~ SOURCE: the experience can only reflect being like unto itself: its source. It doesn’t have anything else from which to draw. Everything anything is made of must come from the essential composition of the source itself. Yes?  Yes! Thoughts leave not their source. For with out a source they could not be and what their source is, so too, must be the nature of the thought… We are the LOVE thought of God extended… God’s only begotten: His Son…
In looking closely at all perceived experiences, we must look to its source for meaning. This is where the ego has really had a field day. Loving to examine itself and figure out “why”, the ego, dressed up in “spiritual’ garb, uses our desperation to find God, to apologize, to do it right, to be good, to hook us into a loop of intense and thorough examination of the psyche. “Figure it out so I don’t do it again, but rather ‘create the reality I want’…right?”

Now here’s the thing, and I think many might relate to this pattern, in walking the “problem” back to the where the problem began within this world, doesn’t work, we have to go further, beyond, to the origin false thought..  The examination of form constructs and concepts at best it is a stimulating mental game serving up the big prize of little insights…i.e. therapy, etc. This gives the illusion that you’re really ‘getting somewhere, which keeps you in the game. At worst it is an exercise in futility and utter despair. This is because we never really get back to the source.
The source of problems /conflicts is not in this world! It is in the mind’s belief that there could be a world apart from Source…! ~It is not in the mind housed in the body and ego that we tend to identified with. All that is the ego-smokescreen to keep us looking where truth cannot be found…THERE IS NO WORLD! THERE IS NO BODY AND THERE IS NO EGO!
THERE IS ONLY GOD AND GOD’S WILL CREATING!!!

Nothing else is really going on, dude~…There is only the BELIEF (looped back on itself over and over)… that one error, one tiny mad idea of specialness that could seemingly obliterate Creation, taken seriously.

That is some powerful mind, yeah? Its magnitude is really beyond conceptualization. ~Hmm, power such as this must come from a Source so immense… well, you do the math…
Just because we dreamed a dream, a mass hallucination even, of misusing this power doesn’t change the power of the Source from which it came. That Source is what it is, and every creation extended from it could only be what it is…

The rest is made up…

The Atonement principle undid all effects of this silly error. The miracle allows us to shine the light we are on every darkened thought of make-believe we are willing to uncover and dis-identify with. Forgiveness is the practical application of this principle while the mind still thinks it is split and while it re-members itself.
Whenever I have sincerely and wholeheartedly attempted to find the True Source of who I am, I have succeeded.

Every one of the workbook lessons are geared to this homecoming, this recognition of Love.~ The description of experience given within today’s lesson really captures the immediacy and immensity of peace experienced~ every single time we unequivocally give over false belief, to the Truth and allow release of our ‘self’ to it. Just notice yourself sinking; dissolving into PEACE~ “Sink into it and feel it closing around you… you will feel a deep sense of joy and an increased alertness… Joy characterizes peace…
Of course in the beginning the experience is only fleeting, easily discounted as ‘imagination’.  Still yet, it calls us back to return again and again, increasing in substantial significance, until the ‘reality’ of this peace and surety can no longer be denied. It gradually becomes more real than the story of the life we once called our own. So much so, that the lines between the ‘two worlds’ [peace and conflict /oneness and differences] begin to blur and eventually the ‘two worlds’ blend into One experience of total peace occasionally freckled with seeming conflicts or problems, which have taken on a shadowy insubstantial essence~ now seen as what they are, an opportunity to practice forgiveness…
Talk about JOY! ~Ah, the deep abiding joy that comes with knowing that seriously, nothing can rock our world. Nothing can intrude upon the Holy Son of God, himself. This is our will ~the one we share with our Source, which created us Love, like himself~ God’s Will is perfect happiness and there is no will but God’s! Thank God! All glory to God and us ~for we share his Will and nothing else…
