LESSON 298
"I love You, Father, and I love Your Son."
My gratitude permits my love to be accepted without fear. And
thus am I restored to my Reality at last. All that intruded on my holy
sight forgiveness takes away. And I draw near the end of senseless
journeys, mad careers and artificial values. I accept instead what
God establishes as mine, sure that in that alone I will be saved; sure
that I go through fear to meet my Love.
"Fear, I come to You today, because I would not fallow any
way but Yours. You are beside me. Certain is Your way. And I am
greatful for Your holy gifts of certain sanctuary, and escape from
everything that would obscure my love for God my Father and His
holy Son."

Re: IA´s Journal
LESSON 299
"Eternal holiness abides in me."
My holiness is far beyond my own ability to understand or know.
Yet God, my Father, Who created it, acknowledges my holiness as
His. Our Will, together, understands it. And our Will, together,
knows that it is so.
"Father, my holiness is not of me. It is not mine to be destroyed
by sin. It is not mine to suffer from attack. Illusions can obscure it,
but can not put out its radiance, nor dim its light. It stands forever
perfect and untouched. In it are all things healed, for they remains as
You created them. And I can know my holiness. For Holiness Itself
created me, and I can know my Source because it is Your Will that
You be known."

LESSON 300
"Only an instant does this World endure."
This is a thought which can be used to say that death and sorrow
are the certain lot of all who come here, for their joys are gone before
they are possessed, or even grasped. Yet this is also the idea that lets
no false perception keep us in its hold, nor represent more than a
passing cloud upon a sky eternally serene. And it is this serenity we
seek, unclouded, obvious and sure, today.
"We seek Your holy world today. For we, Your loving Sons, have
lost our way a while. But we have listened to Your Voice, and
learned exactly whqt to do to be restored to Heaven and our true
Identity. And we give thanks today the World endures but for an
instant. We would go beyond that tiny instant to eternity."

Re: IA´s Journal
WHAT IS THE SECOND COMMING?
Christ´s Second Comming, which is sure as God, is merely the
correction of mistakes, and the return of sanity. It is a part of the
condition that restores the never lost, and re-establishes what is
forever and forever true. It is the invitation to God´s Word to take
illusion´s place; the willingness to let forgiveness rest upon all things
without exception and without reserve.
It is the all-inclusive nature of Christ´s Second Coming that permits
it to embrace the world and hold you safe within its gentle advent,
which encompasses all living things with you. There is no end to the
release the Second Coming brings, as God´s creation must be
limitless. Forgiveness lights the Second Coming´s way, because it
shines on Everythings as one. And thus is oneness recongized at last.
The Second Coming ends the lessons that the Holy Spirit
teaches, making way for the Last Judgment, in which learning ends in
one last summary that will extend beyond itself, and reaches up to
God. The Second Coming is the time in which all minds are given to
the hands of Christ, to be returned to spirit in the name of true
creation and the Will of God.
The Second Coming is the one event in time which time itself can
not affect. For every one who ever came to die, or yet will come or
who is present now, is equally released from what he made. In this
equality is Christ restored as Identity, in Which the Sons of God
acknowledge that they all are one. And God the Father smiles upon
His Son, His one Creation and His only joy.
Pray that the Second Coming will be soon, but do not rest with
that. It needs your Eyes and ears and hands and feet. It needs your
voice. And most of all it needs your willingness. Let us rejoice that we
can do God´s Will, and join together in its holy light. Behold, the Son
of God is one in us, and we can reach our Father´s Love through Him.
LESSON 301
And God Himself shall wipe away all tears."
"Father, unless I judge I cannot weep. Nor can I suffer pain, or
feel I am abandoned or unneeded in the world. This is my home
because I judge it not, and therefore is it only what You will. Let me
today behold it uncondemned, through happy eyes forgiveness has
released from all distortion. Let me see Your world instead of mine.
And all the tears I shed will be forgotten, for their source is gone.
Father, I will not judge Your World today."
God´s world is happy. Those who look on it can only add their joy
to it, and bless it as a cause of further joy in them. We wept because
we did not understand. But we have learned the world we saw was
false, and we will look upon God´s world today.

LESSON 302
"Where darkness was i look upon the light."
"Father, our eyes are opening at last. Your holy world awaits us,
as our sight is finally restored and we can see. We thought we
suffered. But we had forgoten the Son whom You created. Now we see
that darkness is our own imagining, and light is there for us to look
upon. Christ´s vision changes darkness into light, for fear must
disappear when love has come. Let me forgive Your holy world
today, that I may look upon its holiness and understand it but
reflects my own."
Our Love awaits us as we go to Him, and walks beside us showing
us the way. He fails in nothing. He the end we seek, and He the means
by which we go to Him.

Re: IA´s Journal
LESSON 303
"The holy Christ is born in me today."
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.
"Your Son is welcome, Father. He has come to save me from the
evil self I made. He is the Self That You have given me. He is but
what I really am in truth. He is the Son You love above all things,
He is my Self as You created me. It is not Christ That can be
crucified. Self in Your Arms let me recieve Your Son."

Re: IA´s Journal
LESSON 304
"Let not my world obscure the sight of Christ."
I can obscure my holy sight, if I intrude my world upon it. Nor can
I behold the holy sights Christ looks upon, unless it is His vision that I
use. 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. And I will look upon the certain signs that
all my sins have been forgiven me.
"You lead me from the darkness to the light; from sin to holiness.
Let me forgive, and thus receive salvation for the World. It 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."

Re: IA´s Journal
LESSON 305
"There is a peace that Christ bestows on us."
Who uses but Christ´s vision finds a peace so deep and quiet,
undisturbable and wholly changeless, that the world contains no
counterpart. Comparrisons are still before this peace. And all the
world departs in silence as this peace envelops it, and gently carries it
to truth, no more to be the home of fear. For love has come, and
healed the world by giving it Christ´s peace.
"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"

Re: IA´s Journal
LESSON 306
"The gift of Christ is all I seek today."
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.
"And so, our Father, we return to You, remembering we never
went away; remembering Your holy gifts to us. In gratitude and
thankfulness we come, with empty hands and open hearts and
minds, asking but what You give. We cannot make an offering
sufficient for Your Son. But in Your Love the gift of Christ is his."

Re: IA´s Journal
LESSON 307
"Conflicting wishes cannot be my will."
"Father, Your Will is mine, and only that. There is no other will
for me to have. Let me not try to make another will, for it is
senseless and will cause me pain. Your Will alone can bring me
happiness, and only Your exists. If I would have what only You
can give. I must accept Your Will for me, and enter into peace
where conflict is impossible. Your Son is one with You in being and
in will, and nothing contradicts the holy truth that I remain as You
created me."
And with this prayer we enter silently into a state where conflict
cannot come, because we join our holy will with God´s, in
recognition that they are the same.
Love
