These review lessons are so amazing. I hope you are not just skimming through them. I hope you are reading them. Sitting up in bed upon waking, and reaching for the book and reading these lessons. They are the best way to start the day right.
Plus, what they say in the review is actually different than what it says in the actual lessons (although the content is the same), but the wording is different so these review lessons are actually BRAND NEW.
1. My holiness envelops everything I see.
2. My holiness blesses the world.
3. There is nothing my holiness cannot do.
4. My holiness is my salvation.
5. I am blessed as a Son of God.
Everything you need to know is contained in these lessons, literally. You might be waiting for a miracle so you are not afraid anymore, as if you think you have to go through all 365 lessons to “get it” and have fear lifted from you – but in fact, the answer is contained in lesson 39:
“My holiness is my salvation”: Since my holiness saves me from all guilt, recognizing my holiness is my salvation. It is also recognizing the salvation of the world. Once I have accepted my holiness, nothing can make me afraid.”
!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Isn’t that amazing? Once you accept your holiness, nothing can make you afraid.
And you can accept your holiness TODAY.
Another review lesson says:
“What is there to be saved from except illusions? And what are illusions except false ideas about myself? My holiness undoes them all by asserting the truth about me.”
The other day a long-time Course in Miracles teacher was saying she can’t let go of a grievance. I couldn’t believe it. I was thinking: Good Lord, just let the grievance go for crying out loud. Why hold onto conflict? Who cares what someone else is doing? Do you want to be happy? Well then … STOP IT. I went through all these ideas about this “other person” until this morning when I did the review lessons and I read: “and what are illusions except false ideas about myself?”
Amazing.
There is no other person holding onto a grievance.
There is only me – either I’m recognizing my holiness in all situations and realizing that all illusions are false ideas about myself OR I’m trapped in the story thinking there are other people “not getting it.”
All this, from practicing the review lessons.
They take me beyond all appearances to the truth about myself.
Say this out loud to yourself:
I am blessed as a Son of God:
“Herein lies my claim to all good and only good. I am blessed as a Son of God. All good things are mine, because God intended them for me. I cannot suffer any loss or deprivation or pain because of Who I am. My Father supports me, protects me, and directs me in all things. His care for me is infinite, and is with me forever. I am eternally blessed as His Son.”
Now open A Course in Miracles and practice today’s lesson. Out loud and with conviction.
Out loud and with conviction is good advice.
And just a reminder: Make some time today to read Chapter 1. We are reading one chapter a week to finish the text in 31 weeks, and this week is Chapter 1.
I love you.
Hi Lisa, Dear One, I so appreciate your email to me.. and thankyou for you only give… yeah 7 years.Today is a day where so much has come to me.. earlier I gave up tv and then took it back. Last night I could not fix the cable one more time, I gave up, I have never been willing to call the landlord and the cable tech has actually been here to hook up my computer and i never thought to ask him for a new connection. I even have a friend whose husband worked for the cable company and have not gotten it fixed. So last night I see I was on the floor like an addict trying to get my fix.. more masking tape.. more wire, more anchors… then I got it. I just quit.. I heard God today, yesterday was my 7th year without alcohol, now it is time for tv. My sobriety date will be easy to remember that way. So there it is… commit to God. Tv has been my HP for so long… not any more.Just for today. I have been abstinent from fire-fighters / relationships for 5 years now as well. I just committed to work on myself..who was I? After so long with men as my savior, well since 2001 I have been living my relationship to God and me… I did not know either one of us… truly. I came to see that a commitment is doing things because i want to do them and doing things when i don’t want to do them as well.. that was a lesson a long time coming.I remember MT saying ” I am willing to turn my will and my life over to the care of God as I DON’T UNDERSTAND HIM. That really woke me up.
Lisa, anything that I can help you with or give you I’m yours…
I love you, truly
Jayme
