My thoughts* on Workbook Lesson 304 for October 29, 2024. *I walk in the knowledge that God is and what the world around me believes itself to be just ISN’T.
Let not my world obscure the sight of Christ.
* Be aware that this is for those who do not know or accept the Atonement. In the Atonement your “world” slowly fades from your eyes as you realize that nothing that you thought was there is. Now, the timing for this will probably be different for each of us but it happens.
* At least 4 ½ years in the Atonement and my world continues to fade. It has recently taken on a ghostly hue so that I walk in the knowledge that God is and what the world around me believes itself to be just ISN’T. I knew this early on but I am beginning to see how my efforts to have any impact on a “ghost” who is trapped in its own torture chamber of thought and memory is actually a very silly notion.
1. I can obscure my holy sight, if I intrude my world upon it.
* I will lose sight of the wholeness that God has shown me His Son IS IF I allow any singular complaint (and believe me that is all that the world holds out to me) becomes “real” in my mind or if I think I am the one who can “make it all better.”
²Nor can I behold the holy sights Christ looks upon, unless it is His vision that I use.
* Nor can I see WHAT GOD SEES AND WANT ME TO RESPOND TO, UNLESS I USE FATHER’S VISION.
* This is significant and why I have to let go of “MY INTERPRETATION” of ANYTHING!
³Perception is a mirror, not a fact.
* I have been shown that my “perceptions” are cock-eyed because I have had NO IDEA what is REAL and what is not.
⁴And what I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward.
* Believe me, it is NOT PRETTY. It is full of pain, suffering, guilt, betrayal, deception, cheating, lying, death and so on.
⁵I would bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ.
* The eyes of a confused part of Christ is what gave me that false world. I will use the Eyes of God to see through and ~ ODDLY ENOUGH ~ I have to allow God, the Original Universal Creator to have EXISTENCE in my mind to be able to do this. haha
⁶And I will look upon the certain signs that all my sins have been forgiven me.
* I love this statement because it says that there is “certainty,” there are “signs,” and I have been forgiven the belief of the possibility of separation from God as I “count my blessings.”
2. You lead me from the darkness to the light; from sin to holiness.
* The “LIGHT” resides within for now but it will be in form someday as well.
²Let me forgive, and thus receive salvation for the world.
* Let me accept the forgiveness of the original error of belief in separation from God and do MY PART in bringing the Mind of Christ to It’s senses.
³It is Your gift, my Father, given me to offer to Your holy Son, that he may find again the memory of You, and of Your Son as You created him.
* It is Your gift, my Father, given me to off to YOUR WHOLE SON, that he may find again THE MEMORY OF YOU, and of YOUR SON AS YOU CREATED HIM, WHOLE AND LACKING NOTHING.
(ACIM, W-304.1:1–2:3)
