Lesson 339

“Father, this is Your day. It is a day in which I would do nothing by myself but hear Your Voice in everything I do; requesting only what You offer me, accepting only thoughts You share with me.”
What an amazing prayer he gives to us.

RIP writer James Baldwin, died this day 1987.

"I imagine one of the reasons people cling to their hates so stubbornly is because they sense, once hate is gone, they will be forced to deal with pain".

“Not everything that is faced can be changed, but nothing can be changed until it is faced.”

Lesson 337 My sinlessness protects me from all harm.
This is the Realty we return to once we accept Oneness. At the root of all suffering is our illusion of separation. Think

Lesson 334 Today I claim the gifts forgiveness gives.

Given to you too if you like.

Lesson 333 Forgiveness ends the dream of conflict here.

I am grateful to my Creator for leaving the light in my Higher Self that shows me the way to resolve my conflicts.

Lesson 330 I will not hurt myself again today.
This is accomplished by staying open to correction. Our Higher Self which thinks with our Creator keeps us safe from harm.

329 I have already chosen what You will.
It is both exciting and serene to experience the One with you and my Creator.

Lesson 328 I choose the second place to gain the first.
In turning away from my human reactions I can experience our creator’s will which is no different than my own. Our experience of unity reveals a peaceful and satisfying life.

Lesson 327 I need but call and You will answer me.
Since our minds are of One mind this makes sense. Our Higher Self comes first. Face fears in peace. This can not happen while we react to fears. So in the journey of facing fears we must believe in our truth and remain calm.

Lesson 326 I am forever an effect of God.
This is not some thing. We don’t understand what we are because we dream of being apart. Let me let go and allow what we are to be experienced.

Lesson 325 All things I think I see reflect ideas
The world I see reflects what I believe in.

Lesson 324 I merely follow, for I would not lead.
There is a great sense of confidence in what this lesson is saying to us all. It gives me a sense of how Resolution to our present condition will evolve. Giving our shared higher self the control our awakening is assured.
Enjoy the ride.

Lesson 323 I gladly make the "sacrifice" of fear.
Our humanity is based on sacrifice, often without question. I would offer sharing is a better idea. Parents often fail to see the guilt that their children suffer when they sacrifice for them

This Course requests only one sacrifice: fear. Face it

Special Topic: What is Creation
“Let our function be only to let this memory return, only to let God's Will be done on earth, only to be restored to sanity, and to be but as God created us.”
It’s not as choice but a willingness. Face our fears and no longer be afraid of the little willingness asked

Lesson 320 My Father gives all power unto me.
Let us all awaken to the power of love. Begin with those you live with , your friends, and every one you meet.

Lesson 319
“But where there is no arrogance, the truth will come immediately and fill up the space the ego left unoccupied by lies.”
Each of us has the same inner truth. Acceptance of it is up to us.

Lesson 318
“Let me today, my Father, take the role You offer me in Your request that I accept Atonement for myself. For thus does what is thereby reconciled in me become as surely reconciled to You.”

Stay focused on your own development. Allow understanding to come to yourself.

Lesson 315
“Each day a thousand treasures come to me with every passing moment.”
This is incredible to me because the ego doesn’t recognize what he is referring to in this lesson. It opposes the gratitude that is mentioned since it doesn’t value the examples given but in truth they are perfect.

Lesson 314
Join me in a his prayer “Father, we were mistaken in the past and choose to use the present to be free. Now do we leave the future in Your hands, leaving behind our past mistakes and sure that You will keep Your present promises and guide the future in their holy light.”
Only now.

Part 3 of 3
“To fear God's saving grace is but to fear complete release from suffering, return to peace, security and happiness, and union with your own Identity.”
The metaphysical explanation was reviewed in all the preceding lessons. See Acim.org

Continues

“You who believed that God's Last Judgment would condemn the world to hell along with you, accept this holy truth: God's Judgment is the gift of the correction He bestowed on all your errors, freeing you from them and all effects they ever seemed to have.”
November 9, 2025 at 5:57 PM
What Is the Last Judgment?
No where has Christianity’s dogma been more destructive than the final judgment. Here is the correction.
November 9, 2025 at 5:57 PM
Lesson 310 In fearlessness and love I spend today.
As I remember my Source I realize who I am and become capable of seeing you.
November 6, 2025 at 2:25 PM
Lesson 309 I will not fear to look within today
“Your altar stands serene and undefiled. It is the holy altar to my Self, and there I find my true Identity.”
I believe this is True of all creation.
November 5, 2025 at 3:06 PM
Lesson 308 This instant is the only time there is.
“The birth of Christ is now, without a past or future. He has come to give His present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love. And love is ever-present, here and now.”
There are no conditions. A little bit of willingness.
