Lesson 99

"Salvation is my only function here."

We see today that there is no difference between salvation and forgiveness. Both terms speak to something broken or gone awry that needs fixing. Both terms require an understanding of the Will of God, which does not see this earthly created world as separate from Creation. The mystery here is that earth and heaven are in accord with one another. Only God's Will could allow for harmony in such concepts as the Truth of all time and dualistic thinking with its necessary delusions. Only God's Will provides no judgment in the face of our pain, allowing us to make human mistakes, and granting us complete release from our hurting ways.

The Holy Spirit is aligned with God in understanding these seemingly wide differences. The Holy Spirit's function is to hold the plan of God in the Divine Mind and to hold that plan for your mind as well. God's plan operates in time because we humans believe in time. The Holy Spirit sees all of the pain, confusion, and insanity of our temporal world and knows that God's Will is Love and that brokenness is not the manifestation of that Truth. The Holy Spirit's Thought brings Salvation to any situation because it sees to the heart of Oneness and Truth that is God's function in all of our lives.

You are now an agent of the Holy Spirit and its Function has now become your function in charging you with the understanding that behind all appearances there is only the Truth of Love Eternal. In your meditations say:

"Salvation is my only function here.
God still is Love, and this is not His Will."

Your freedom resides in these words. Miracles are accomplished through understanding that your Father gives out only Love. Any dark places in your psyche where you are holding onto resentments, judgments, fears about yourself please let the light of your Father in and you will be Forgiven because such suffering was never his Will for you to begin with. He will gladly shine your burdens with His Light and lift you to your birthright, which is as His Son, for you are as His Son to Him.

Meditate on this lesson today and say:

"Salvation is my only function here.
Salvation and forgiveness are the same."

Now turn to trusting Him whose function is your function. He will teach you to let go of any fears which keep you locked in darkness. Forgive any thoughts that come to you contradicting this message. Understand that Forgiveness and Salvation are one. You are now free and aligned with God's Will for you. If you are tempted to forget this Truth say:

"Salvation is my only function here.
God still is Love, and this is not His Will."

Remind yourself throughout the day your function and God's function, are one and the same. Say:

"Salvation is my only function here."

Through forgiveness you are now aligning your life with love, letting go of fear, and remembering that you too are the Son of God.

Lesson 100

"My part is essential to God's plan for salvation."

God reminds us that we are not separate from His Plan nor from each other in any real way. Each one of us is necessary for His Plan. He only desires happiness and Joy for us. It is our ability to shine the great Light of His Love that will encourage all those we share it with to join in the unfolding Salvation of the World.

Today we let go of all sadness because sadness is separate from what God wills for us. Our happiness aligns us with His Son and shows everyone the joy and peace of mind that is God's gift to all of us who have accepted our place as His Son despite appearances.

Dwell on happiness in today's meditations. Look upon your ideas that sacrifice has been a part required of you by God. Realize God has always and only been gifting you with your ability to receive His plan. Find the joy in yourself that leads you to your function in God's plan. That is our meditation for today, and because you desire to find this Truth, you will succeed.

Remember, you are answering the Call to your Self. Your response guides you to God when you remind yourself that you are necessary for the world's salvation.

Lesson 101

"God's will for me is perfect happiness."

Happiness is the theme of today and necessary to understanding salvation. Salvation has been associated with the erroneous concept of sin. Sin has required that we all suffer to redeem ourselves. All manner of fear, pain, avoidance, viciousness, and wrath have been justified behind our concept of sin as real. We have removed ourselves from the grace of God's Love by believing he would torture us for our "sins." Who would choose Salvation if it meant infinite suffering from our curse of being human?

We open today's meditation releasing our ideas of sin because there is no sin. We choose to see the Light and Beauty of God's Son rather than turn him into a devil to be feared. We accept Atonement in this process.

We must turn to God and accept his Will for us to have perfect happiness. We can discern our state of faith and belief by our ability to be joyful. Living in a state of pain lets us know that we are not being true to ourselves and God's intentions for us. The key is to trust in God's Will and let go of any paranoid fantasies generated by our ideas of sin by saying:

"God's Will for me is perfect happiness.
There is no sin; it has no consequence."

Begin your meditation in this manner and feel the joy that permeates your mind. Give yourself these five minutes every hour magnanimously that you may release the burden you have been carrying behind the concept of sin. Peace awaits you and freedom is your guide. Tell yourself often today:

"God's Will for me is perfect happiness.
This is the truth, because there is no sin."

Lesson 102

"I share God's Will for happiness for me."

It is time to let go of your attachment to suffering and what you think you gain from it. The grip of this erroneous belief is lessening. You will discover today that you have been held in bondage to a phantom. Your freedom is in the Will of God. You will discover Salvation in entering the home of God's Will. Begin your meditations today with:

"I share God's Will for happiness for me,
And I accept it as my function now."

These words will help you find God's function in your mind. When you recognize God's function as your function you choose to be aligned with God's Will. Use your hourly five minute meditations to affirm that your function is only to be the happiness God's Son was created to be.

Lesson 103

"God, being Love, is also happiness."

Love is not separate from joy or happiness. The mind will see all of these as distinct categories where sin can enter into and cause pain and separation. This erroneous belief has allowed fear to be the understanding of God rather than love. God is love and therefore he cannot be fear, pain, and suffering. To help us understand this mistake in thinking, say:

"God, being Love, is also happiness."

"To fear Him is to be afraid of joy."

See joy, happiness, and love interconnected today in your meditations and set this imbalance right today. Feel the joy and peace that comes from your welcome understanding of God being love. Strengthen your understanding of this principle throughout the day and let go of any fears by saying:

"God, being Love, is also happiness."

"And it is happiness I seek today."

"I cannot fail, because I seek the truth."

Lesson 104

"I seek but what belongs to me in truth."

Today we remember that peace and joy are our rightful place within our God's Creation. We may not be able to open to these ideas if we have left no room for this homecoming because false ideas are residing in us instead. Our meditations today help us to realize that anything we have self-created as an understanding of ourselves can be released. We can turn to the present and eternal understanding that joy and peace belong to us right now. We can return our will to God's Will in our hourly five minute meditations by saying:

"I seek but what belongs to me in truth,
And joy and peace are my inheritance."

Let go of any illusions of the world that would trick us from our more complete understanding of God. We want to know what is actually ours and come to understand that the gifts God gives to us is peace and joy. Accepting our real gifts from God allows us to let go of ever attaching to anything that causes us pain and suffering as real and reminds us to come back always to the peace and joy that is always present in our lives. We remind ourselves of this by saying:

"I seek but what belongs to me in truth."

"God's gifts of joy and peace are all I want."

Lesson 105

"God's peace and joy are mine."

God has given us the gifts of peace and joy. These are true gifts to us because they only increase our ability to open to these qualities in our lives. We do not have to trade or bargain away part of our personal happiness to accept God's gifts of peace and joy. The created world does not see giving as open ended and creative, but rather as a bargaining tool or an interest raising account to be paid in full when the returns on the gift are completed. This erroneous understanding of giving has left many people unable to receive God's gifts of peace and joy.

When we receive God's gifts into our lives we bring Him immeasurable happiness. His gifts exponentially manifest in us for his way of giving is really about creation. We release our condition of separation that teaches us we lose when we accept a gift from another. We can test our own relationship to these principles by thinking of the brothers and sisters we blocked from receiving the joy and happiness that are their gifts and birthright from Creation. Make this your personal responsibility and think of those who have displeased you, saying:

"My brother, peace and joy I offer you."

"That I may have God's peace and joy as mine."

You eliminate any blocks in your own life to receiving God's gifts by offering the gift of peace and happiness back to others. Do your best today to let God act in the way that He wills. If someone causes you frustration today and imbalances you remember to accept God's gifts of peace and joy as yours. Give thanks for your brother and sister and say:

"My brother, peace and joy I offer you, That I may have God's peace and joy as mine."
