My thoughts* on Workbook Lesson 278 for October 3, 2024. If I am bound, my Father is not free. *SEEN

If I am bound, my Father is not free.

* I MUST consider MYSELF FREE.

1. If I accept that I am prisoner within a body, in a world in which all things that seem to live appear to die, then is my Father prisoner with me.

²And this do I believe, when I maintain the laws the world obeys must I obey; the frailties and the sins which I perceive are real, and cannot be escaped.

* From WITHIN the understanding of the complete forgiveness of the belief in the possibility of separation from God found within the Atonement I DO NOT SEE THIS NONSENSE AS REAL even though I must engage with it, if you understand what I mean.

* I mean, I must “observe it” and be witness to its FALSEHOOD and KNOW THAT GOD IS REAL and IS ALL THAT THERE CAN BE.

³If I am bound in any way, I do not know my Father nor my Self.

⁴And I am lost to all reality.

⁵For truth is free, and what is bound is not a part of truth.

2. Father, I ask for nothing but the truth.

²I have had many foolish thoughts about myself and my creation, and have brought a dream of fear into my mind.

³Today, I would not dream.

⁴I choose the way to You instead of madness and instead of fear.

* “The WAY” is the TRUE FORGIVENESS of the Atonement defined above.

⁵For truth is safe, and only love is sure.
