Lesson 160 “Who denies his brother is denying Him and thus refusing to accept the gift of sight by which his Self is clearly recognized, his home remembered, and salvation come.” It doesn’t have to be that way. We can stop being afraid of the voice within and let it correct in love and caring.

Lesson 159 “Let us an instant dream with Him. His dream awakens us to truth. His vision gives the means for a return to our unlost and everlasting sanctity in God.”Together we are capable of returning to the truth,we develop an ability to see the way to our Holiness by our wholeness with our Source.

Lesson 157 “The vision of His face will stay… you attained it not through learning. Yet the vision speaks of your remembrance of what you knew that instant and will surely know again.” In order to remember we must be willing to let go of the illusion of safety in the body and face our Self.

Lesson 156 “9. I walk with God in perfect holiness. I light the world, I light my mind and all the minds which God created one with me.” I believe you too walk in “perfect holiness”. It is because “ideas do not leave their source”. I agree with this Course that we are one idea in the Mind of God.

Lesson 153 In my defenselessness my safety lies Our relationship to one another is key to our happiness. A part of us can remember our divine identity. It’s our decision to let it come fully into our consciousness or continue to play the game of good and bad. We are one in creation. Unchangeable

Lesson 152 “The power of decision is my own. This day I will accept myself as what my Father’s Will created me to be” I found the last two lessons 151 and this one 152 to be very challenging. My acceptance of what it says has evolved each time I have prayed about it, carefully.

Lesson 150 Review of Lessons 139 - 140 My mind holds only what I think with God. [139] I will accept Atonement for myself. [140] Only salvation can be said to cure. Mistaken thinking needs correction but that will only happen when there is willingness (the cure). Love must be the method to help.

Lesson 149 Review of Lessons 133 - 134 My mind holds only what I think with God. [133] I will not value what is valueless. [134] Let me perceive forgiveness as it is. The mistake I have made is identifying myself as body. It was fundamental to the way I was raised. ‘Body and soul’, a personal god.

Lesson 148 continues “A thought in the Mind of God” the text tells us, is why there is connection with each other and the Source. Mind can heal any affliction to the body. We have heard maybe even seen healing take place. It isn’t a normal everyday experience but is natural. We are afraid of it.

Lesson 148 continues [136] Sickness is a defense against the truth. Taking an identity from our “communication device” as this Course calls the body, is the mistake that all pain and suffering flows from. Belief in the body as who we are requires no effort and represses our fear of What we are.

Lesson 148 continues we get closer too the truth until we only think with our Source which holds all truth. [135] If I defend myself, I am attacked. ‘I am just trying to help you’ only confuses the matter and is a turning away from thinking,the truth, what we are with each other and our Creator.

Lesson 148 Review of Lessons 135 - 136 My mind holds only what I think with God. We can be very confused in our thinking. ‘I thought you loved me!’ But when we make the effort and think, [135] If I defend myself, I am attacked. [136] Sickness is a defense against the truth.

Lesson 147 Review of Lessons 133 - 134 Theme in this review: My mind holds only what I think with God. [133] I will not value what is valueless. Our connection is valuable. [134] Let me perceive forgiveness as it is. Try googling this word. Everyone knows everything. Acceptance is the effort.

Lesson 146 Review of Lessons 131 - 132 My mind holds only what I think with God. It’s unlimited and everlasting. [131] No one can fail who asks to reach the truth. Can’t get there if you’re afraid. Ask for courage to face yourself. [132] I loose the world from all I thought it was. openness

Lesson 145 Review of Lessons 129 - 130 “My mind holds only what I think with God.” Different from neurological activity. Unbounded by the ephemeral. “[129] Beyond this world there is a world I want.” Thought is eternal and it is Thought unified we are. [130] It is impossible to see two worlds.

Lesson 144 continues A reality that includes you and me that is unchangeable forever. So as make my way in the world, I try not to obsess but pay more attention to the “word” within. It can guide me in every need I think I want. The Word has love as its motivation. By it I can love too.

Lesson 144 review My mind holds only what I think with God. [127] There is no love but God’s. [128] The world I see has nothing that I want. When I think about God now, outside of religious teachings, I focus on love. It’s love unified not personified. Not an entity that I seek but the reality

Lesson 143 review Theme: My mind holds only what I think with God. [125] In quiet I receive God's Word today. In our minds we can hear the voice of our Crestor. [126] All that I give is given to myself. Our minds are joined. We influence each other.

Lesson 141 review Forgiveness is the willingness to allow correction. It brings peace which is the only state of mind I want. I will work today in turning over my “life and will” to my higher self. I will “go higher” when my peace is interrupted.

Lesson 139 only salvation heals And what does the Course in Miracles mean by that word? “Today we hear a single Voice which speaks to us of truth where all illusions end, and peace returns to the eternal quiet home of God.” The Voice for God is the same voice as our true self. We find wholeness.

Lesson 139 “Atonement remedies the strange idea that it is possible to doubt yourself and be unsure of what you really are. “ “ It is more than just our happiness alone we came to gain. What we accept as what we are proclaims what everyone must be along with us.,how much a part of us is every mind”

Lesson 138 Heaven is the decision I must make. “All that is veiled in shadows must be raised to understanding to be judged again, this time with Heaven's help, and all mistakes in judgment which the mind had made before are open to correction as the truth dismisses them as causeless”. Now not later

Lesson 137 When I am healed, I am not healed alone. Thanks for letting me get caught up to today’s (the 137th day of the year) lesson. The purpose I use Blue sky for is in this lesson. I heal others by letting them heal me. I seek to no longer be afraid of the truth. Since we are One.

136 Sickness is a defense against the truth. Continued The truth is that my body is a device to be used in service to my Source. The fact that I can see this clearly now is my healing. And if I follow the inner guide, I can let the pain in my foot be healed. It has no purpose any longer.

Lesson 136 Sickness is a defense against the truth. Always had trouble with this lesson. I am experiencing some pain in my foot. The pain calls me back to seeing myself as a body. The pain seems to be in charge leaving me as a victim. Or, I can see this is how the defense against the truth works

Lesson 135 “. Let no defenses but your present trust direct the future, and this life becomes a meaningful encounter with the truth that only your defenses would conceal.” This lesson took me a long time to read. My attention kept getting distracted as my own unwillingness became clear.

Lesson 134 Let me perceive forgiveness as it is. “ Thus will you see alternatives for choice in terms which render choosing meaningful and keep your mind as free of guilt and pain as God Himself intended it to be and as it is in truth.” This is the way to peace and joy.

Lesson 133 “Heaven Itself is reached by empty hands and open minds, which come with nothing to find everything and claim it as their own. “ Seeing our own worth and our connection with our brothers and sisters ends suffering. Sharing is natural and brings us to “empty hands”. Choose again.

Lesson 131 continues “Remember often that today should be a time of special gladness, and refrain from dismal thoughts and meaningless laments. Salvation's time has come. Today is set by Heaven Itself to be a time of grace for you and for the world.” Simply choose it.
