LESSON 309

"I will not fear to look within today."

Within me is Eternal Innocence, because it is God´s Will that it be
there forever and forever. I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His
Own, can will no change in this. For to deny my Father´s Will is to
deny my own. To look within is but to find my will as God created it,
and as it is. I fear to look within because I Think I made Another will
that is not true, and made it real. Yet it has no effects. Within me is the
holiness of God. Within me is the memory of Him.

"The step I take today, my Father, is my sure release from idle
dreams of sin. Your altar stands serene and undefiled. It is the holy
altar of my Self, and there I find my true Identity."

LESSON 310

"In fearlessness and love I spend today."

"This day, my Father, would I spend with You, as You have
chosen all my days should be. And what I will expereince 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 Yours 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."

We spend this day together, you and I. And all the world joins with
us in our song of thankfulnesss and joy to Him Who gave salvation to
us, and Who set us free. We are restored to peace and holiness. There
is no room in us for fear today, for we have welcomed love into our hearts.

WHAT IS THE LAST JUDGMENT?

Christ´s Second Coming gives the Son of God this gift: To hear
the Voice of God proclaim that what is false is false, and what is
true has never changed. And this the judgment is in which perception
ends. At fist you see a world that has accepted this as true, projected
from a now corrected mind. And with this holy sight, perception
gives a silent blessing and then disappears, its goal accomplished and
its mission done.
The Final Judgment on the world contains no condemnation. For it
sees the world as totally forgiven, without sin and wholly purposless.
Without a cause, and now without a function in Christ´s sight, it merely
slips away to nothingness. There it was born, and there it ends as well.
And all the figures in the dream in which the world began go with it.
Bodies now are useless, and will therefore fade away, because the
Son of God is limitless.
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. The 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.
God´s Final Judgment is as merciful as every step in His appointed
plan to bless His Son, and call him to return to the eternal peace
He shares with him. Be not afraid of love. For it alone can heal all
sorrow, wipe away all tears, and gently waken from his dream of
pain the Son whom God acknowledges as His. Be not afraid of this.
Salvation asks you give it welcome. And the world awaits your glad
acceptance, which will set it free.
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."

LESSON 311

"I judge all things as I would have them be."

Judgment was made to be a weapon used against the truth. It
separates what it is being used against, and sets it off as if it were a
thing apart. And then it makes of it what you would have it be. It
judges what it cannot understand, because it cannot see totality and
therefore judges falsely. Let us not use it today, but make a gift of it to
Him Who has a different use for it. He will relieve us of the agony of
all the judgment we have made against ourselves, and re-establish
peace of mind by giving us God´s Judgment of His Son.

"Father, we wait with open mind today, to hear Your Judgment
of the Son You love. We do not know him, and we cannot judge.
And so we let Your Love decide what he whom You created as Your
Son must be."

LESSON 312

"I see all things as I would have them be."

Perception follows judgmen. Having judged, we therefore see
what we would look upon. For sight can merely serve to offer us what
we would have. It is impossible to overlook what we would see, and
fail to see what we have chosen to behold. How surely, therefore,
must the real world come to greet the holy sight of anyone who takes
the Holy Spirit´s purpose as his goal for seeing. And he cannot fail to
look upon what Christ would have him see, and share Christ´s Love
for what he looks upon.

"I have no purpose for today except to look upon a liberated
world, set free from all the judgment I have made. Father, this is
Your Will for me today, and therefore it must be my goal as well."

LESSON 313

"Now let a new perception come to me."

"Father, there is a vision which beholds all things as sinless, so
that fear has gone, and where it was is love invited in. And love will
come wherever it is asked. This vision is Your gift. The eyes of
Christ look on a world forgiven. In His sight are all its sins forgiven,
for He sees no sin in anything He looks upon. Now let His true
perception come to me, that I may waken from the dream of sin and
look within upon my sinlessness, which You have kept completely
undefiled upon the altar of Your holy Son, the Self with Which I
would identify."

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.

LESSON 314

"I seek a future different from the past."

From new perception of the world there comes a future very
different from the past. The future now is recongized as but extention
of the present. Past mistakes can cast no shadow on it, so that fear
has lost its idols and its images, and being formless, it has no effects.
Death will not claim the future now, for Life is now its goal, and all the
needed means are happily provided. Who can grieve or suffer when
the present has been freed, extending its security and peace into a
quiet future filled with joy.

"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."

LESSON 315

"All gifts my brothers give belong to me."

Each day a thousand treasures come to me with every passing
moment. I am blessed with gifts throughout the day, in value far
beyond all things of which I can conceive. A brother smiles upon
another, an my heart is gladdened. Someone speaks a word of
gratitude or mercy, and my mind receives this gift and takes it as its
own. And everyone who finds the way to God becomes my savior,
pointing out the way to me, and giving me his certainty that what he
learnes is surely mine as well.

"I thank You, Father, for the many gifts that come to me today and
every day from every Son of God. My brothers are unlimited in all
their gifts to me. Now may I offer them my thankfulness, that
gratitude to them may lead me on to my Creator and His memory."

Love

[IA56]

LESSON 316

"All gifts I give my brother are my own."

As every gift my brothers give is mine, so every gift I give belongs
to me. Each one allows a past mistake to go, and leave no shadow on
the holy mind my Father loves. His grace is given me in every gift a
brother has received throughout all time, and past all time as well.
My treasure house is full, and angels watch its open doors that not
one gift is lost, and only more are added. Let me come to where my
treasures are, and enter in where I am truly welcome and at home,
among the gifts that God has given me.

"Father, I would accept Your gifts today. I do not recongize them.
Yet I trust that You Who gave them will provide the means by which I
can behold them, see their worth, and cherish only them as what I
want."

Love

[IA56]

LESSON 317

"I follow in the way appointed me."

I have a special place of to fill; a role for me alone. Salvation waits
until I take this part as what I choose to do. I make this choice. I
am the slave of time and human destiny. But when I willingly and
gladly go the way my Father´s plan appointed me to go, then will I
recognize salvation is already here, already given all my brothers and
already mine as well.

"Father, Your way is what I choose today. When it would lead me
do I choose to go; what it would have me do I choose to do. Your
way is certain, and the end secure.The memory of You awaits me
there. And all my sorrows end in Your embrace, which You have
promised to Your Son, who thought mistakenly that he had
wandered from the sure protection of Your loving Arms."

Love

[IA56]

LESSON 318

"In me salvation´s means and end are one."

In me, God´s holy Son, are reconciled all parts of Heaven´s plan to
save the world. What could conflict, when all the parts have but one
purpose and one aim? How could there be a single part that stands
alone, or one of more or less importance than the rest? I am the means
by which God´s Son is saved, because salvation´s purpose is to find
the sinlessness that God has placed in me, I was created as the thing I
seek. I am the goal the World is searsing for. I am God´s Son, His one
eternal Love. I am salvation´s means and end as well.

"Let 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."
