WORKBOOK PART II

8. What is the Real World?

LESSON 294

My body is a wholly neutral thing.

1 I am a Son of God. 2And can I be another thing as well? 3Did God create the mortal and corruptible? 4What use has God’s beloved Son for what must die? 5And yet a neutral thing does not see death, for thoughts of fear are not invested there, nor is a mockery of love bestowed upon it. 6Its neutrality protects it while it has a use. 7And afterwards, without a purpose, it is laid aside. 8It is not sick or old or hurt. 9It is but functionless, unneeded, and cast off. 10Let me not see it more than this today: of service for a while, and fit to serve, to keep its usefulness while it can serve, and then to be replaced for greater good.

2 My body, Father, cannot be Your Son, and what is not created cannot be sinful or sinless, neither good nor bad. 2Let me, then, use this dream to help Your plan that we awaken from all dreams we made.

8. What is the Real World?

LESSON 293

All fear is past and only love is here.

1 All fear is past because its source is gone,105 and all its thoughts went with it. 2Love remains the only present state, whose Source is here forever and forever. 3Can the world seem bright and clear and safe and welcoming with all my past mistakes oppressing it and showing me distorted forms of pain? 4Yet in the present love is obvious and its effects apparent. 5All the world shines in reflection of its holy light, and I perceive a world forgiven at last.

2 Father, let not Your holy world escape my sight today. 2Nor let my ears be deaf to all the hymns of gratitude the world is singing underneath the sounds of fear. 3There is a real world which the present holds safe from all past mistakes. 4And I would see only this world before my eyes today.

7. What is the Holy Spirit?

LESSON 290

My present happiness is all I see.

1 Unless I look upon what is not there, my present happiness is all I see. 2Eyes that begin to open see at last, and I would have Christ’s vision come to me this very day.100 3What I perceive without God’s Own correction for the sight I made is frightening and painful to behold. 4Yet I would not allow my mind to be deceived by the belief the dream I made is real an instant longer. 5This the day I seek my present happiness, and look on nothing else except the thing I seek.

2 With this resolve I come to You and ask Your strength to hold me up today, while I but do Your will. 2You cannot fail to hear me, Father. 3What I ask have You already given me, and I am sure that I will see my happiness today.

LESSON 289

The past is over. It can touch me not.

1 Unless the past is over in my mind, the real world must escape my sight. 2For I am really looking nowhere; seeing but what is not there. 3How can I then perceive the world forgiveness offers? 4This the past was made to hide, for this the world that can be looked on only now. 5It has no past, for what can be forgiven but the past, and if it is forgiven, it is gone.

2 Father, let me not look upon a past that is not there. 2For You have offered me Your own replacement, in a present world the past has left untouched and free of sin. 3Here is the end of guilt, and here am I made ready for Your final step. 4Shall I demand that You wait longer for Your Son to find the loveliness You planned to be the end of all his dreams and all his pain?

7. What is the Holy Spirit?

LESSON 288

Let me forget my brother’s past today.

1 This is the thought that leads the way to You, and brings me to my goal. 2I cannot come to You without my brother. 3And to know my Source, I first must recognize what You created one with me. 4My brother’s is the hand that leads me on the way to You. 5His sins are in the past, along with mine, and I am saved because the past is gone. 6Let me not cherish it within my heart, or I will lose the way to walk to You. 7My brother is my savior. 8Let me not attack the savior You have given me, but let me honor him who bears Your Name, and so remember that it is my own.

2 Forgive me, then, today. 2And you will know you have forgiven me if you behold your brother in the light of holiness. 3He cannot be less holy than can I, and you cannot be holier than he.

7. What is the Holy Spirit?

LESSON 287

You are my goal, my Father. Only You.

1 Where would I go but Heaven? 2What could be a substitute for happiness? 3What gift could I prefer before the peace of God? 4What treasure would I seek and find and keep that can compare with my identity? 5And would I rather live with fear than love?

2 You are my goal, my Father. 2What but You could I desire to have? 3What way but that which leads to You could I desire to walk? 4And what except the memory of You could signify to me the end of dreams and futile substitutions for the truth? 5You are my only goal. 6Your Son would be as You created him. 7What way but this could I expect to recognize my Self, and be at one with my identity?

LESSON 286

The hush of Heaven hlods my heart today.

1 Father, how still today! 2How quietly do all things fall in place! 3This 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. 4In You is every choice already made. 5In You has every conflict been resolved. 6In You is everything I hope to find already given me.98 7Your peace is mine. 8My heart is quiet, and my mind at rest. 9Your love is Heaven, and Your love is mine.

2 The stillness of today will give us hope that we have found the way and traveled far along it to a wholly certain goal.99 2Today we will not doubt the end that God Himself has promised us. 3We trust in Him, and in our Self, Who still is one with Him.

LESSON 285

My holiness shines bright and clear today.

1 Today I wake with joy, expecting but the happy things of God to come to me. 2I ask but them to come, and realize my invitations will be answered by the thoughts to which they have been sent by me. 3And I will ask for only joyous things the instant I accept my holiness.97 4For what would be the use of pain to me, what purpose would my suffering fulfill, and how would grief and loss avail me, if insanity departs from me today, and I accept my holiness instead?

2 Father, my holiness is Yours. 2Let me rejoice in it, and through forgiveness be restored to sanity. 3Your Son is still as You created him. 4My holiness is part of me and also part of You. 5And what can alter Holiness Itself?

7. What is the Holy Spirit?

LESSON 284

I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt.

1 Loss is not loss when properly perceived. 2Pain is impossible. 3There is no grief with any cause at all. 4And suffering of any kind is nothing but a dream. 5Such is the truth—at first to be but said; and then repeated many times; and next to be accepted as but partly true, with many reservations; then to be considered seriously more and more; and finally accepted as the truth. 6I can elect to change all thoughts that hurt. 7And I would pass beyond the words today, go past all reservations, and arrive at full acceptance of the truth in them.95

2 Father, what You have given cannot hurt, so grief and pain must be impossible.96 2Let me not fail in trust in You today, accepting but the joyous as Your gifts; accepting but the joyous as the truth.
