  • LESSON 41 God goes with me wherever I go.

    LESSON 41 God goes with me wherever I go.
    Jul 22 2025
    LESSON 41 God goes with me wherever I go.
    Today’s idea will eventually overcome completely the sense of loneliness and abandonment all the separated ones experience. Depression is an inevitable consequence of separation. So are anxiety, worry, a deep sense of helplessness, misery, suffering and intense fear of loss.
    The separated ones have invented many “cures” for what they believe to be “the ills of the world.” But the one thing they do not do is to question the reality of the problem. Yet its effects cannot be cured because the problem is not real. The idea for today has the power to end all this foolishness forever. And fool­ishness it is, despite the serious and tragic forms it may take.
    Deep within you is everything that is perfect, ready to radiate through you and out into the world. It will cure all sorrow and pain and fear and loss because it will heal the mind that thought these things were real, and suffered out of its allegiance to them.
    You can never be deprived of your perfect holiness because its Source goes with you wherever you go. You can never suffer because the Source of all joy goes with you wherever you go. You can never be alone because the Source of all life goes with you wherever you go. Nothing can destroy your peace of mind because God goes with you wherever you go.
    We understand that you do not believe all this. How could you, when the truth is hidden deep within, under a heavy cloud of insane thoughts, dense and obscuring, yet representing all you see? Today we will make our first real attempt to get past this dark and heavy cloud, and to go through it to the light beyond.
    There will be only one long practice period today. In the morning, as soon as you get up if possible, sit quietly for some three to five minutes, with your eyes closed. At the beginning of the practice period, repeat today’s idea very slowly. Then make no effort to think of anything. Try, instead, to get a sense of turn­ing inward, past all the idle thoughts of the world. Try to enter very deeply into your own mind, keeping it clear of any thoughts that might divert your attention.
    From time to time, you may repeat the idea if you find it help­ful. But most of all, try to sink down and inward, away from the world and all the foolish thoughts of the world. You are trying to reach past all these things. You are trying to leave appearances and approach reality.
    It is quite possible to reach God. In fact it is very easy, because it is the most natural thing in the world. You might even say it is the only natural thing in the world. The way will open, if you believe that it is possible. This exercise can bring very startling results even the first time it is attempted, and sooner or later it is always successful. We will go into more detail about this kind of practice as we go along. But it will never fail completely, and instant success is possible.
    Throughout the day use today’s idea often, repeating it very slowly, preferably with eyes closed. Think of what you are say­ing; what the words mean. Concentrate on the holiness that they imply about you; on the unfailing companionship that is yours; on the complete protection that surrounds you.
    You can indeed afford to laugh at fear thoughts, remembering that God goes with you wherever you go.

  • LESSON 40 I am blessed as a Son of God.

    LESSON 40 I am blessed as a Son of God.
    Jul 20 2025
    LESSON 40 I am blessed as a Son of God.
    Today we will begin to assert some of the happy things to which you are entitled, being what you are. No long practice periods are required today, but very frequent short ones are nec­essary. Once every ten minutes would be highly desirable, and you are urged to attempt this schedule and to adhere to it when­ever possible. If you forget, try again. If there are long interruptions, try again. Whenever you remember, try again.
    You need not close your eyes for the exercise periods,although you will probably find it more helpful if you do. However, you may be in a number of situations during the day when closing your eyes would not be feasible. Do not miss a practice period because of this. You can practice quite well under any circumstances, if you really want to.
    Today’s exercises take little time and no effort. Repeat the idea for today, and then add several of the attributes you associate with being a Son of God, applying them to yourself. One prac­tice period might, for example, consist of the following:I am blessed as a Son of God.I am happy, peaceful, loving and contented.Another might take this form:I am blessed as a Son of God.I am calm, quiet, assured and confident.
    If onlya brief period is available, merely telling yourself that you are blessed as a Son of God will do.- A Course in Miracles, WorkBook

  • LESSON 39 My holiness is my salvation.

    LESSON 39 My holiness is my salvation.
    Jul 18 2025
    LESSON 39 My holiness is my salvation.
    If guilt is hell, what is its opposite? Like the text for which this workbook was written, the ideas used for the exercises are very simple, very clear and totally unambiguous. We are not con­cerned with intellectual feats nor logical toys. We are dealing only in the very obvious, which has been overlooked in the clouds of complexity in which you think you think.
    If guiltis hell, what is itsopposite? This is not difficult, surely. The hesitation you may feel in answering is notdue to the ambiguity of the question. But do you believe that guilt is hell? If you did, you would see at once how direct and simple the text is, and you would not need a workbook at all. No one needs practice to gain what is already his.
    We have already said that your holiness is the salvation of the world. What about your own salvation? You cannot give what you do not have. A savior must be saved. How else can he teach salvation? Today’s exercises will apply to you, recognizing that your salvation is crucial to the salvation ofthe world. As you apply the exercises to your world, the whole world stands to benefit.
    Your holiness is the answer to every question that was ever asked, is being asked now, or will be asked in the future. Your holiness means the end of guilt, and therefore the end of hell. Your holiness is the salvation of the world, and your own. How could you to whom your holiness belongs be excluded from it? God does not know unholiness. Can it be He does not know His Son?
    A full five minutes are urged for the four longer practice peri­ods for today, and longer and more frequent practice sessions are encouraged. If you want to exceed the minimum requirements, more rather than longer sessions are recommended, although both are suggested.
    Begin the practice periods as usual, by repeating today’s idea to yourself. Then, with closed eyes, search out your unloving thoughts in whatever form they appear; uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, worry, attack, insecurity and so on. Whatever form they take, they are unloving and therefore fearful. And so it is from them that you need to be saved.
    Specific situations, events or personalities you associate with unloving thoughts of any kind are suitable subjects for today’s exercises. It is imperative for your salvation that you see them differently. And it is your blessing on them that will save you and give you vision.
    Slowly, without conscious selection and without undue em­phasis on any one in particular, search your mind for every thought that stands between you and your salvation. Apply the idea fortoday to each of them in this way:My unloving thoughts about _________ are keeping me in hell.My holiness is mysalvation.
    You may find these practice periods easier if you intersperse them with several short periods during which you merely repeat today’s idea to yourself slowly a few times. You may also find it helpful to include a few short intervals in which you just relax and do not seem to be thinking of anything. Sustained concentration is very difficult at first. It will become much easier asyour mind becomes more disciplined and less distractible.
    Meanwhile, you should feel free to introduce variety into the exercise periods in whatever form appeals to you. Do not, how­ever, change the idea itself as you vary the method of applying it. However you elect to use it, the idea should be stated so that its meaning is the fact that your holiness is your salvation. End each practice period by repeating the idea in its original form once more, and adding:If guilt is hell, what is its opposite?In the shorter applications, which should be made some three or four times an hour and more if possible, you may askyourself this question, repeat today’s idea, and preferably both. If temptations arise, a particularly helpful form of the idea is:My holiness is my salvation from this.
