Holy Shift! (10 page)

Your holy Son.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 269. 1:5.

 

Christ is our eyes today.

And through His sight we offer healing to the world through Him, the holy Son whom God created whole; the holy Son whom God created One.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 270. 2:2-3.

 

Each day, each hour, every instant, I am choosing what I want to look upon, the sounds I want to hear, the witnesses to what I want to be the truth for me.

Today I choose to look upon what Christ would have me see, to listen to God's Voice, and seek the witnesses to what is true in God's creation.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 271. 1:1-2.

 

Father, the truth belongs to me.

My home is set in Heaven by

Your Will and mine.

Can dreams content me?

Can illusions bring me happiness?

What but Your memory can

satisfy Your Son?

I will accept no less than You

have given me.

I am surrounded by Your Love,

forever still, forever gentle and

forever safe.

God's Son must be as

You created him.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 272. 1:1-8.

 

Father, Your peace is mine.

What need have I to fear that

anything can rob me of what

You would have me keep?

I cannot lose Your gifts to me.

And so the peace You gave

Your Son is with me still,

in quietness and in my own

eternal love for You.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 273. 2:1-4.

 

Today belongs to love.

Let me not fear.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 274.

 

There are many answers you have already received but have not yet heard.

I assure you that they are waiting for you.

Text-9. II. 3:6-7.

 

What is the Word of God?

“My Son is pure and holy as Myself.”

Workbook-p II. Lesson 276. 1:1-2.

 

Every loving thought is true.

Everything else is an appeal for healing and help, regardless of the form it takes.

Text-12. I. 3:3-4.

 

Whenever you deny a blessing to a brother
you
will feel deprived, because denial is as total as love.

Text-7. VII. 1:1.

 

The end of dreams is promised me, because God's Son is not abandoned by His Love.

Only in dreams is there a time when he appears to be in prison, and awaits a future freedom, if it be at all.

Yet in reality his dreams are gone, with truth established in their place.

And now is freedom his already. Should I wait in chains which have been severed for release, when God is offering me freedom now?

Workbook-p II. Lesson 279. 1:1-5.

 

It is impossible for a child of God to love his neighbor except as himself.

That is why the healer's prayer is:

Let me know this brother as I know myself.

Text-5. Intro. 3:6-8.

 

Father, Your Son is perfect.

When I think that I am hurt in any

way, it is because I have forgotten

who I am, and that I am as You

created me. Your Thoughts can

only bring me happiness. If ever

I am sad or hurt or ill, I have

forgotten what You think, and put

my little meaningless ideas in

place of where Your Thoughts

belong, and where they are.

I can be hurt by nothing but my

thoughts. The Thoughts I think

with You can only bless.

The Thoughts I think with You

alone are true.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 281. 1:1-7.

 

All healing is essentially the release from fear.

Text-2. IV. 1:7.

 

Father, I made an image of

myself, and it is this I call the

Son of God. Yet is creation as it

always was, for Your creation is

unchangeable. Let me not

worship idols. I am he my

Father loves. My holiness

remains the light of Heaven and

the Love of God. Is not what is

beloved of You secure? Is not

the light of Heaven infinite?

Is not Your Son my true Identity,

when You created everything

that is?

Workbook-p II. Lesson 283. 1:1-8.

 

Comparison must be an ego device, for love makes none.

Text-24. II. 1:1.

 

Today I wake with joy, expecting but the happy things of God to come to me.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 285. 1:1.

 

Father, how still today! How quietly do all things fall in place! This is the day that has been chosen as the time in which I come to understand the lesson that there is no need that I do anything. In You is every choice already made. In You has every conflict been resolved. In You is everything I hope to find already given me. Your peace is mine. My heart is quiet, and my mind at rest. Your Love is Heaven, and Your Love is mine.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 286. 1:1-9.

 

In any situation in which you are uncertain, the first thing to consider, very simply, is “What do I want to come of this? What is it
for?”

The clarification of the goal belongs at the beginning, for it is this which will determine the outcome.

Text-17. IV. 2:1-3.

 

All healing is release from the past.

Text-13. VIII. 1:1.

 

Unless the past is over in my mind, the real world must escape my sight.

For I am really looking nowhere; seeing but what is not there.

How can I then perceive the world forgiveness offers? This the past was made to hide, for this the world that can be looked on only now.

It has no past.

For what can be forgiven but the past, and if it is forgiven it is gone.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 289. 1:1-6.

 

Unless I look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see.

Eyes that begin to open see at last. And I would have Christ's vision come to me this very day.

What I perceive without God's Own Correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to behold.

Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer.

This the day I seek my present happiness, and look on nothing else except the thing I seek.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 290. 1:1-6.

 

Christ's vision looks through me today.

His sight shows me all things forgiven and at peace, and offers this same vision to the world.

And I accept this vision in its name, both for myself and for the world as well.

What loveliness we look upon today! What holiness we see surrounding us! And it is given us to recognize it is a holiness in which we share; it is the Holiness of God Himself.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 291. 1:1-6.

 

It takes great learning to understand that all things, events, encounters and circumstances are helpful.

Manual for Teachers. 4. 1A. 4:5.

 

All fear is past, because its source is gone, and all its thoughts gone with it.

Love remains the only present state, whose Source is here forever and forever.

Can the world seem bright and clear and safe and welcoming, with all my past mistakes oppressing it, and showing me distorted forms of fear?

Yet in the present love is obvious, and its effects apparent.

All the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I perceive a world forgiven at last.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 293. 1:1-5.

 

Health is the result of relinquishing all attempts to use the body lovelessly.

Text-8. VIII. 9:9.

 

The Holy Spirit looks through me today.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 295.

 

The Holy Spirit speaks through me today.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 296.

 

Forgiveness is the only gift I give, because it is the only gift I want.

And everything I give I give myself.

This is salvation's simple formula.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 297. 1:1-3.

 

Father, I come to You today,

because I would not follow any

way but Yours. You are beside

me. Certain is Your way. And I

am grateful for Your holy gifts

of certain sanctuary, and escape

from everything that would

obscure my love for God my

Father and His holy Son.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 298. 2:1-4.

 

Eternal holiness abides in me.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 299.

 

Nothing you can do can change Eternal Love.

Manual for Teachers. Clarification of Terms. 5. 6:10.

 

And God Himself shall wipe away all tears.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 301.

 

When you want only love you will see nothing else.

Text-12. VII. 8:1.

 

Watch with me, angels, watch with me today.

Let all God's holy Thoughts surround me, and be still with me while Heaven's Son is born.

Let earthly sounds be quiet, and the sights to which I am accustomed disappear.

Let Christ be welcomed where He is at home.

And let Him hear the sounds He understands, and see but sights that show His Father's Love.

Let Him no longer be a stranger here, for He is born again in me today.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 303. 1:1-6.

 

Perception is a mirror, not a fact.

And what I look on is my state of mind, reflected outward.

I would bless the world by looking on it through the eyes of Christ.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 304. 1:3-5.

 

Father, the peace of Christ is given us, because it is Your Will that we be saved. Help us today but to accept Your gift, and judge it not. For it has come to us to save us from our judgment on ourselves.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 305. 2:1-3.

 

What but Christ's vision would I use today, when it can offer me a day in which I see a world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me?

Today I can forget the world I made. Today I can go past all fear, and be restored to love and holiness and peace.

Today I am redeemed, and born anew into a world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the peace of God.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 306. 1:1-4.

 

Nothing is difficult that is
wholly
desired.

Text-6. VB. 8:7.

 

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.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 308. 1:6-8.

 

The Holy Spirit's Voice is as loud as your willingness to listen.

Text-8. VIII. 8:7.

 

This day, my Father, would I

spend with You, as You

have chosen all my days

should be. And what I will

experience is not of time

at all. The joy that comes to

me is not of days nor hours,

for it comes from Heaven

to Your Son. This day will be

Your sweet reminder to

remember You, Your gracious

calling to Your holy Son, the

sign Your grace has come to

me, and that it is Your Will

I be set free today.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 310. 1:1-4.

 

This is God's Final Judgment:

“You are still My holy Son, forever innocent, forever loving and forever loved, as limitless as your Creator, and completely changeless and forever pure.

Therefore awaken and return to Me.

I am your Father and you are My Son.”

Workbook-p II. Lesson 310. 10. 5:1-3.

 

Look once again upon your brother, not without the understanding that he is the way to Heaven or to hell, as you perceive him.

But forget not this; the role you give to him is given you, and you will walk the way you pointed out to him because it is your judgment on yourself.

Text-25. V. 6:5-6.

 

Let us today behold each other in the sight of Christ.

How beautiful we are!

How holy and how loving!

Brother, come and join with me today.

We save the world when we have joined.

For in our vision it becomes as holy as the light in us.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 313. 2:1-6.
