My thoughts* on ACIM Urtext Lesson 191, for July 9, 2024. I am (*PART OF) the holy Son of God Himself.
I am the holy Son of God Himself.
* ~ PART OF ~
* ALL that IS or EVER May Be IS the WHOLE of Christ, the ONLY BEGOTTEN SON OF GOD.
1. Here is your declaration of release from bondage of the world.
²And here as well is all the world released.
³You do not see what you have done by giving to the world the role of jailer to the Son of God.
* Read that again. It is just astounding when it starts to sink in what we have done to OURSELVES.
⁴What could it be but vicious and afraid, fearful of shadows, punitive and wild, lacking all reason, blind, insane with hate?
2. What have you done that this should be your world?
²What have you done that this is what you see?
³Deny your own Identity, and this is what remains.
⁴You look on chaos and proclaim it is yourself.
⁵There is no sight that fails to witness this to you.
⁶There is no sound that does not speak of frailty within you and without; no breath you draw that does not seem to bring you nearer death; no hope you hold but will dissolve in tears.
3. Deny your own Identity, and you will not escape the madness which induced this weird, unnatural and ghostly thought that mocks creation and that laughs at God.
²Deny your own Identity, and you assail the universe alone, without a friend, a tiny particle of dust against the legions of your enemies.
³Deny your own Identity, and look on evil, sin and death, and watch despair snatch from your fingers every scrap of hope, leaving you nothing but the wish to die.
4. Yet what is it except a game you play in which Identity can be denied?
²You are as God created you.
³All else but this one thing is folly to believe.
* EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING IS AS GOD CREATED IT. NOT AS WE DID.
⁴In this one thought is everyone set free.
⁵In this one truth are all illusions gone.
⁶In this one fact is sinlessness proclaimed to be forever part of everything, the central core of its existence and its guarantee of immortality.
5. But let today’s idea find a place among your thoughts and you have risen far above the world, and all the worldly thoughts that hold it prisoner.
²And from this place of safety and escape you will return and set it free.
³For he who can accept his true Identity is truly saved.
⁴And his salvation is the gift he gives to everyone, in gratitude to Him Who pointed out the way to happiness that changed his whole perspective of the world.
6. One holy thought like this and you are free: You are the holy Son of God Himself.
²And with this holy thought you learn as well that you have freed the world.
³You have no need to use it cruelly, and then perceive this savage need in it.
* Currently we are ADDICTED to cruelty and feel JUSTIFIED in it.
⁴You set it free of your imprisonment.
⁵You will not see a devastating image of yourself walking the world in terror, with the world twisting in agony because your fears have laid the mark of death upon its heart.
* No, but you will see a lot of egos who need to control and crush others because they think they are god and He is non-existent or absent. And you will need to look through the EYES that the Holy Spirit will give you and see the Son of God Who is missing His Father Who Has NEVER abandoned Him in the first place.
7. Be glad today how very easily is hell undone.
²You need but tell yourself:
³I am the holy Son of God Himself.
⁴I cannot suffer, cannot be in pain; I cannot suffer loss, nor fail to do all that salvation asks.
⁵And in that thought is everything you look on wholly changed.
8. A miracle has lighted up all dark and ancient caverns, where the rites of death echoed since time began.
²For time has lost its hold upon the world.
³The Son of God has come in glory to redeem the lost, to save the helpless, and to give the world the gift of his forgiveness.
⁴Who could see the world as dark and sinful, when God’s Son has come again at last to set it free?
9. You who perceive yourself as weak and frail, with futile hopes and devastated dreams, born but to die, to weep and suffer pain, hear this: All power is given unto you in earth and Heaven.
* WHOA, did you hear that?
²There is nothing that you cannot do.
³You play the game of death, of being helpless, pitifully tied to dissolution in a world which shows no mercy to you.
⁴Yet when you accord it mercy, will its mercy shine on you.
10. Then let the Son of God awaken from his sleep, and opening his holy eyes, return again to bless the world he made.
²In error it began, but it will end in the reflection of his holiness.
³And he will sleep no more and dream of death.
⁴Then join with me today.
⁵Your glory is the light that saves the world.
⁶Do not withhold salvation longer.
⁷Look about the world, and see the suffering there.
⁸Is not your heart willing to bring your weary brothers rest?
* This is not going to happen by playing a pawn in their stories or agreeing with their degradation of themselves.
11. They must await your own release.
²They stay in chains till you are free.
* BULLSHIT!
* THAT is a GUILT inducer!
³They cannot see the mercy of the world until you find it in yourself.
* BULLSHIT!
* We each find it in OURSELVES because we acknowledge God as our Father and ourselves as a part of His SON.
⁴They suffer pain until you have denied its hold on you.
* NO. For one thing pain is part of the Matrix lie and YOU are not responsible for other people, you are only responsible for you and this affects and influences the Whole because you bring the Light of Truth but you are not accountable for others suffering. ~ To begin with that is an impossibility because God is Who He says He Is.
⁵They die till you accept your own eternal life.
* No. There is NO DEATH.
* The only thing that occurs is that you realize there is no death as you acknowledge that God is Who He said He is.
⁶You are the holy Son of God Himself.
* NO. You are a PART of the (W)holy Son of God.
⁷Remember this, and all the world is free.
* YES. Once you remember that you are a part of the (W)holy Son of God you and the Whole Consciousness of Christ is set FREE WITHIN YOU.
* And EACH and EVERY part of the Consciousness/Body of Christ must do this for the WHOLE Consciousness of Christ to be free.
⁸Remember this, and earth and Heaven are one.
* THIS is TRUE because God and you, as a part of the Son reside in both through the Wholy Spirit.
* Let us CELEBRATE that not only do we have a LOVING ETERNAL HEAVENLY FATHER, we also have Brothers and Sisters to share Eternity with in God’s Grace and Glory Holy Instant by Holy Instant!
