We take a stand on but one side today. We side with truth and let illusions go. We will not vacillate between the two, but take a firm position with the One. We dedicate ourselves to truth today, and to salvation as God planned it be. We will not argue it is something else. We will not seek for it where it is not. In gladness we accept it as it is, and take the part assigned to us by God.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>How happy to be certain! All our doubts we lay aside today, and take our stand with certainty of purpose, and with thanks that doubt is gone and surety has come. We have a mighty purpose to fulfill, and have been given everything we need with which to reach the goal. Not one mistake stands in our way. For we have been absolved from errors. All our sins are washed away by realizing they were but mistakes.</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://monicadubay.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Monica Dubay &amp; The Daily Lesson is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p style="text-align: justify;">The guiltless have no fear, for they are safe and recognize their safety. They do not appeal to magic, nor invent escapes from fancied threats without reality. They rest in quiet certainty that they will do what it is given them to do. They do not doubt their own ability because they know their function will be filled completely in the perfect time and place. They took the stand which we will take today, that we may share their certainty and thus increase it by accepting it ourselves.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>They will be with us; all who took the stand we take today will gladly offer us all that they learned and every gain they made. Those still uncertain, too, will join with us, and, borrowing our certainty, will make it stronger still. While those as yet unborn will hear the call we heard, and answer it when they have come to make their choice again. We do not choose but for ourselves today.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Is it not worth five minutes of your time each hour to be able to accept the happiness that God has given you? Is it not worth five minutes hourly to recognize your special function here? Is not five minutes but a small request to make in terms of gaining a reward so great it has no measure? You have made a thousand losing bargains at the least.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Here is an offer guaranteeing you your full release from pain of every kind, and joy the world does not contain. You can exchange a little of your time for peace of mind and certainty of purpose, with the promise of complete success. And since time has no meaning, you are being asked for nothing in return for everything. Here is a bargain that you cannot lose. And what you gain is limitless indeed!</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Each hour today give Him your tiny gift of but five minutes. He will give the words you use in practicing today&#8217;s idea the deep conviction and the certainty you lack. His words will join with yours, and make each repetition of today&#8217;s idea a total dedication, made in faith as perfect and as sure as His in you. His confidence in you will bring the light to all the words you say, and you will go beyond their sound to what they really mean. Today you practice with Him, as you say:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>I will accept my part in God&#8217;s plan for salvation.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In each five minutes that you spend with Him, He will accept your words and give them back to you all bright with faith and confidence so strong and steady they will light the world with hope and gladness. Do not lose one chance to be the glad receiver of His gifts, that you may give them to the world today.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Give Him the words, and He will do the rest. He will enable you to understand your special function. He will open up the way to happiness, and peace and trust will be His gifts; His answer to your words. He will respond with all His faith and joy and certainty that what you say is true. And you will have conviction then of Him Who knows the function that you have on earth as well as Heaven. He will be with you each practice period you share with Him, exchanging every instant of the time you offer Him for timelessness and peace.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Throughout the hour, let your time be spent in happy preparation for the next five minutes you will spend again with Him. Repeat today&#8217;s idea while you wait for the glad time to come to you again. Repeat it often, and do not forget each time you do so, you have let your mind be readied for the happy time to come.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">And when the hour goes and He is there once more to spend a little time with you, be thankful and lay down all earthly tasks, all little thoughts and limited ideas, and spend a happy time again with Him. Tell Him once more that you accept the part that He would have you take and help you fill, and He will make you sure you want this choice, which He has made with you and you with Him.</p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>We each have a part to play in the great awakening of humanity on our beloved planet. There is no hierarchy, given that we are all created equally sovereign and are given everything we need to fulfill our part and our purpose.  Our light, intelligence, and divine wholeness are unassailable. </p><p>We haven&#8217;t been encouraged to embrace this, however, given that we&#8217;ve had to deal with the enslavement of our minds for eons.  We&#8217;ve been dumbed down to believe we are less than this amazing being of light&#8212;a full fractal of the Creator. </p><p>Once we are freed, however, we will learn the facts about our civilization, and we&#8217;ll be in for quite a shock. It may be very upsetting to find out just how manipulated we have been throughout time.  I pray that we&#8217;ll have the fortitude to handle what we&#8217;re told, and to be willing to find a new way to live, to thrive, and to advance our species beyond the 3D fear matrix.</p><p>I am confident that human beings are resilient and always find a way, not only to survive, but to create new systems, new ways of healing and innovating to help with this major responsibility.  When viewed under an electron microscope, for example, our bodies are all light, yet do we actually know and experience it?</p><p>Once we have the knowledge of how we were played and who was behind it, we&#8217;ll have a new perspective.  It&#8217;s 2026. We are just beginning to embrace our God-given abilities, such as healing, telepathy, time-travel, and even our technological advances that are beyond our imagination.  Utilizing our intuition and our multidimensional brains, we will begin to tap into the wealth of knowledge that has been kept from us.</p><p>I&#8217;m excited for humanity, and truly encouraged by what I&#8217;ve learned and experienced these past four decades. I know we will fare well; however, it will most likely be a very bumpy ride.</p><p>The key is to recognize that the fear matrix is dissolving and no longer has power over us, now that we are choosing to remember who we are.  Our creative power is now needed to innovate the new medical, educational, and agricultural systems that benefit humanity, instead of harming the planet and ourselves. Advances are coming that we know little about yet.</p><p>These lessons provide a method for reuniting with our Source as they open our minds for the next phase of our evolution. It&#8217;s a beginning, not an end. Your part is essential to the transformation of our species and planet.  </p><p>But if you&#8217;re caught in fear, you will have no access to the information and will reject it.  It&#8217;s entirely up to you. Free will is given to us in our creation to choose what we will learn and accept.  We will not be coerced, but invited to participate in the next phase.</p><p>Have no fear. God&#8217;s Plan will work, as we share in our love for one another and for all of humanity. If we do our part and join together to become free, as a whole, humanity has a lot to look forward to. We need awakened leaders now to step into their roles in whatever capacity enlivens them.</p><p>I am really excited to find out how we embrace our place in the galaxy. Are you?</p><p>For now, stick with the program; the lessons show us our consciousness is unlimited, and we have every right to full self-expression.  Keep doing your part and sharing your miracles&#8212;tell everyone you know.</p><p>Love goes with us wherever we go.  Our success is guaranteed.</p><p>LOVE.</p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S.

length="0" type="image/jpeg"/><content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Lesson 97</h2><h3>I Am Spirit.</h3><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Today&#8217;s idea identifies you with your one Self. It accepts no split identity, nor tries to weave opposing factors into unity. It simply states the truth. </strong>Practice this truth today as often as you can, for it will bring your mind from conflict to the quiet fields of peace. No chill of fear can enter, for your mind has been absolved from madness, letting go illusions of a split identity.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>We state again the truth about your Self, the holy Son of God Who rests in you; Whose mind has been restored to sanity. You are the spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father&#8217;s Love and peace and joy. You are the spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him.</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://monicadubay.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Monica Dubay &amp; The Daily Lesson is a reader-supported publication.

Each time you practice, awareness is brought a little nearer at least; sometimes a thousand years or more are saved. The minutes which you give are multiplied over and over, for the miracle makes use of time, but is not ruled by it. Salvation is a miracle, the first and last; the first that is the last, for it is one.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>You are the spirit in whose mind abides the miracle in which all time stands still; the miracle in which a minute spent in using these ideas becomes a time that has no limit and that has no end. </strong>Give, then, these minutes willingly, and count on Him Who promised to lay timelessness beside them. He will offer all His strength to every little effort that you make. Give Him the minutes which He needs today, to help you understand with Him you are the spirit that abides in Him, and that calls through His Voice to every living thing; offers His sight to everyone who asks; replaces error with the simple truth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Holy Spirit will be glad to take five minutes of each hour from your hands, and carry them around this aching world where pain and misery appear to rule. He will not overlook one open mind that will accept the healing gifts they bring, and He will lay them everywhere He knows they will be welcome. And they will increase in healing power each time someone accepts them as his thoughts, and uses them to heal.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Thus will each gift to Him be multiplied a thousandfold and tens of thousands more. And when it is returned to you, it will surpass in might the little gift you gave as much as does the radiance of the sun outshine the tiny gleam a firefly makes an uncertain moment and goes out. The steady brilliance of this light remains and leads you out of darkness, nor will you be able to forget the way again.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Begin these happy exercises with the words the Holy Spirit speaks to you, and let them echo round the world through Him:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Spirit am I, a holy Son of God, free of all limits,<br>safe and healed and whole, free to forgive,<br>and free to save the world.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Expressed through you, the Holy Spirit will accept this gift that you received of Him, increase its power and give it back to you.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Offer each practice period today gladly to Him. And He will speak to you, reminding you that you are spirit, one with Him and God, your brothers and your Self. Listen for His assurance every time you speak the words He offers you today, and let Him tell your mind that they are true. Use them against temptation, and escape its sorry consequences if you yield to the belief that you are something else. <strong>The Holy Spirit gives you peace today. Receive His words, and offer them to Him.</strong></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>We are entering a gateway to a higher dimension as we say these words today, leaving behind any thought of limitation, loss, or littleness. We have the courage now to begin to take an inventory.  </p><p>Do I accept this lesson? Do I doubt that it&#8217;s possible to live in peace? If I walked the world with this knowledge, what temptations could disturb my peace of mind?</p><p>What do I allow into my mind that distracts me?</p><p>Just notice. Thoughts that repeat in your mind often become habitual, forming the beliefs we defend. That&#8217;s why we need the mind training; we have let our minds become corrupted with thoughts of fear and death.  We are reversing those thoughts now, to remember who we are, and that our spiritual power is needed for healing and transformation. </p><p>It doesn&#8217;t mean, however, that we ignore evil, not at all.  We need to understand it, to examine the motivation behind it, and to call it out.  We need to root out our own tendencies to hate, to harbor judgment, to criticize or condemn others.  We were wired this way, like it or not from the beginning of time.</p><p>I&#8217;ve always been a rebel, challenging the tenets of the church growing up, yet not out loud, mostly just within my own mind. Even though I played the part of the good girl, deep down I knew what I knew.  God is love; he could not condemn. It made no sense to me that we had to do all these rituals, and yet, I did them. I obeyed.  It made life easier.</p><p>After a molestation by a priest in my hometown, however, I became very confused. I went to him for help with anxiety, and I was just 14. I could tell no one. I knew that my parents didn&#8217;t want to hear it and wouldn&#8217;t believe me.  So I never said anything until I was an adult, and it came up with a friend of my mother&#8217;s at the dinner table. </p><p>I burst into tears as I felt all that pain well up inside. I still couldn&#8217;t speak of it then, but I do now. It&#8217;s the first thing I wrote about in my book, <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Heal-Your-Mind-Life-Powerful-ebook/dp/B08NZ5L2BM/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2YF2A9SYTA1XC&amp;dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.pmnDOuth7PogRowpu6jrcdtmoyu8zP4D8T7GzRBBbIc.AFvdopKAuK9CCoO3czS2PGMfWC6k37s6AVgep4LIKZE&amp;dib_tag=se&amp;keywords=heal+your+mind+monica+dubay&amp;qid=1775562468&amp;sprefix=heal+your+mind+monica+dubay%2Caps%2C329&amp;sr=8-1">Heal Your Mind Heal Your Life. </a> It affected me for the rest of my life.</p><p>Before the Me Too movement, I just assumed that&#8217;s how it is. I&#8217;m not sure if I just became numb to betrayal, or if I simply didn&#8217;t know how to process the painful memories. I buried it until I could make sense of what happened.</p><p>I have since done deep forgiveness on what happened, and realize now how it played out in my relationships with men.  It&#8217;s not easy, it takes a lot of courage and willingness to be healed, but it works. It&#8217;s the only way out that I have discovered so far.</p><p>We know that horrible things have been done to people in the name of religion. Many people have trouble with the language of the Course because of it, too.  I get it. I accept that these egregious events committed by religions are a major part of what needs to be healed in our world.   That&#8217;s precisely why it uses this language&#8212;for us to heal our relationship with God.</p><p>More and more, we need to question the belief systems of those who would use religion to wield power over innocence. Millions have been killed in the name of a god, the god people worship, but what god is it? It&#8217;s insanity to think a benevolent god would wish harm on his people. That never made sense to me.</p><p>I am so grateful the Course came into our world in my lifetime, in the 1960s, just when the love revolution began.  We are still finding our way around in a world of conflicting belief systems and many different races and cultures on our planet. </p><p>It&#8217;s difficult to wade through all the chaos that continues to be used against humanity. Yet, knowing how deep the rabbit hole goes can only help us to see through the darkness and choose light. It&#8217;s all part of the assignment as lightworkers as it challenges us to become "wise as a serpent, harmless as a dove" <em><strong>Matthew 10:16</strong>.</em></p><p>We are advised to combine the shrewdness of the serpent with the moral integrity and gentle purity of a dove. We have the inner strength to be alert and not turn a blind eye to evil, but to call it out and be warriors for the light. Become the teachers of God, as it states in the Course.</p><p>As I practice this lesson, I am aware of the paradox of life in the higher dimensions and where we are here in 3D.  They are two different worlds&#8212;and yet, as above so below.  We are being taught to bring that higher consciousness to this realm, so that we heal the rift between the two and awaken.</p><p>I&#8217;m all in for it.  If you&#8217;re reading this, I&#8217;m sure you are too.  </p><p>Thank you for your dedication and courage to face the storm with a warrior&#8217;s heart.</p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S.

This sense of being split into opposites induces feelings of acute and constant conflict, and leads to frantic attempts to reconcile the contradictory aspects of this self-perception. You have sought many such solutions, and none of them has worked. The opposites you see in you will never be compatible. But one exists.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The fact that truth and illusion cannot be reconciled, no matter how you try, what means you use and where you see the problem, must be accepted if you would be saved. <strong>Until you have accepted this, you will attempt an endless list of goals you cannot reach; a senseless series of expenditures of time and effort, hopefulness and doubt, each one as futile as the one before, and failing as the next one surely will.</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://monicadubay.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Monica Dubay &amp; The Daily Lesson is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Problems that have no meaning cannot be resolved within the framework they are set. Two selves in conflict could not be resolved, and good and evil have no meeting place. The self you made can never be your Self, nor can your Self be split in two, and still be what It is and must forever be. A mind and body cannot both exist. Make no attempt to reconcile the two, for one denies the other can be real. If you are physical, your mind is gone from your self-concept, for it has no place in which it could be really part of you. If you are spirit, then the body must be meaningless to your reality.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Spirit makes use of mind as means to find its Self expression. And the mind which serves the spirit is at peace and filled with joy. Its power comes from spirit, and it is fulfilling happily its function here. Yet mind can also see itself divorced from spirit, and perceive itself within a body it confuses with itself. Without its function then it has no peace, and happiness is alien to its thoughts.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Yet mind apart from spirit cannot think. It has denied its Source of strength, and sees itself as helpless, limited and weak. Dissociated from its function now, it thinks it is alone and separate, attacked by armies massed against itself and hiding in the body&#8217;s frail support. Now must it reconcile unlike with like, for this is what it thinks that it is for.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Waste no more time on this. Who can resolve the senseless conflicts which a dream presents? What could the resolution mean in truth? What purpose could it serve? What is it for? Salvation cannot make illusions real, nor solve a problem that does not exist. Perhaps you hope it can. Yet would you have God&#8217;s plan for the release of His dear Son bring pain to him, and fail to set him free?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Your Self retains Its thoughts, and they remain within your mind and in the Mind of God. The Holy Spirit holds salvation in your mind, and offers it the way to peace. Salvation is a thought you share with God, because His Voice accepted it for you and answered in your name that it was done. Thus is salvation kept among the thoughts your Self holds dear and cherishes for you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">We will attempt today to find this thought, whose presence in your mind is guaranteed by Him Who speaks to you from your one Self. Our hourly five-minute practicing will be a search for Him within your mind. <strong>Salvation comes from this one Self through Him Who is the bridge between your mind and It. Wait patiently, and let Him speak to you about your Self, and what your mind can do, restored to It and free to serve Its Will.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Begin with saying this:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Salvation comes from my one Self.<br>Its thoughts are mine to use.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then seek Its thoughts, and claim them as your own. These are your own real thoughts you have denied, and let your mind go wandering in a world of dreams, to find illusions in their place. Here are your thoughts, the only ones you have. Salvation is among them; find it there.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>If you succeed, the thoughts that come to you will tell you you are saved, and that your mind has found the function that it sought to lose. Your Self will welcome it and give it peace. Restored in strength, it will again flow out from spirit to the spirit in all things created by the Spirit as Itself. Your mind will bless all things. Confusion done, you are restored, for you have found your Self.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Your Self knows that you cannot fail today. Perhaps your mind remains uncertain yet a little while. Be not dismayed by this. The joy your Self experiences It will save for you, and it will yet be yours in full awareness. Every time you spend five minutes of the hour seeking Him Who joins your mind and Self, you offer Him another treasure to be kept for you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Each time today you tell your frantic mind salvation comes from your one Self, you lay another treasure in your growing store. And all of it is given everyone who asks for it, and will accept the gift. Think, then, how much is given unto you to give this day, that it be given you!</strong></p><h4 style="text-align: justify;"><strong>My Thoughts:</strong></h4><p>Love yourself is a message we hear often today. Yet, if we find the Self, love will come naturally.  It holds the awareness of who you are, and the answer to your life situations are available whenever you ask. </p><p>When I first heard its voice, the Self within scared me a bit. I had just found the Course and was all lit up, recognizing I had found my purpose, and my healing was rapid.  Within a few months, I went from deep despair, anxiety, and being unable to sleep at night, to freedom and happiness, simply by reading the Course in Miracles daily.  </p><p>Its voice was loud and clear and gave me powerful direction for my everyday life. Go here, go there, start teaching, put up a poster, begin now. It was astonishing.  </p><p>My life changed dramatically.  So many miracles occurred that I got used to feeling &#8220;high&#8221;, powerful, and full of possibility.  I have remained in contact with the Self ever since, through all my challenges&#8212;including the births of my sons, my divorce from their father, and my move from New Jersey to Wisconsin.  There, I was joined with hundreds of international student, which was extraordinary, as was meeting the Master Teacher and living in his presence for 12 years.</p><p>I still listen to the voice of my Self each day, knowing that if I&#8217;m wondering what to do, I simply need to ask. I&#8217;ve learned to trust my inner voice for everything.</p><p>The Self is eternal, being outside of time, and knows what you need. It has enormous compassion for you and all others who are with you on this journey.  Its awareness is vast, accepting your fears, doubts, and uncertainties about your future, yet knowing you are already free. </p><p>Even when you think you&#8217;re lost, broken, and full of doubt, this is not so.  You&#8217;re just mistaken.  There is nothing to fear, in the sense that all that you must go through, you will go through.  Love goes with us wherever we go, so you can&#8217;t screw it up&#8212;not really.</p><p>Mistakes are part of the awakening, and if you can stop judging or criticizing yourself, you will fare much better.  It&#8217;s not easy, I know, especially if you&#8217;re a perfectionist like me.</p><p>I listen to my Self&#8217;s loving voice whenever I think I have to fix a situation, figure it out, and make it work.  Yet, miracles keep happening each day, despite me. Life keeps opening up, even when I&#8217;m in doubt that the challenges I face will be resolved. Its voice directs me as to what to write here every morning. </p><p>Learning to trust the Self is a huge part of the awakening, and if you&#8217;re struggling, it&#8217;s okay.  Be with your Self today.  Let the answers come from its voice, let it reassure you that you have no problems that are not miraculously resolved when you ask.</p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S.

You are one within yourself, and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your perfect unity makes change in you impossible. You do not accept this, and you fail to realize it must be so, only because you believe that you have changed yourself already.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>You see yourself as a ridiculous parody on God&#8217;s creation; weak, vicious, ugly and sinful, miserable and beset with pain. Such is your version of yourself; a self divided into many warring parts, separate from God, and tenuously held together by its erratic and capricious maker, to which you pray. It does not hear your prayers, for it is deaf. It does not see the oneness in you, for it is blind. It does not understand you are the Son of God, for it is senseless and understands nothing.</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://monicadubay.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Monica Dubay &amp; The Daily Lesson is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p style="text-align: justify;">We will attempt today to be aware only of what can hear and see, and what makes perfect sense. We will again direct our exercises towards reaching your one Self, Which is united with Its Creator. In patience and in hope we try again today.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The use of the first five minutes of every waking hour for practicing the idea for the day has special advantages at the stage of learning in which you are at present. It is difficult at this point not to allow your mind to wander, if it undertakes extended practice. You have surely realized this by now. <strong>You have seen the extent of your lack of mental discipline, and of your need for mind training. It is necessary that you be aware of this, for it is indeed a hindrance to your advance.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Frequent but shorter practice periods have other advantages for you at this time. In addition to recognizing your difficulties with sustained attention, you must also have noticed that, unless you are reminded of your purpose frequently, you tend to forget about it for long periods of time. You often fail to remember the short applications of the idea for the day, and you have not yet formed the habit of using the idea as an automatic response to temptation.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Structure, then, is necessary for you at this time, planned to include frequent reminders of your goal and regular attempts to reach it. <strong>Regularity in terms of time is not the ideal requirement for the most beneficial form of practice in salvation. It is advantageous, however, for those whose motivation is inconsistent, and who remain heavily defended against learning.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">We will, therefore, keep to the five-minutes-an-hour practice periods for a while, and urge you to omit as few as possible. Using the first five minutes of the hour will be particularly helpful, since it imposes firmer structure. Do not, however, use your lapses from this schedule as an excuse not to return to it again as soon as you can. <strong>There may well be a temptation to regard the day as lost because you have already failed to do what is required. This should, however, merely be recognized as what it is; a refusal to let your mistake be corrected, and an unwillingness to try again.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The Holy Spirit is not delayed in His teaching by your mistakes. He can be held back only by your unwillingness to let them go. Let us therefore be determined, particularly for the next week or so, to be willing to forgive ourselves for our lapses in diligence, and our failures to follow the instructions for practicing the day&#8217;s idea. This tolerance for weakness will enable us to overlook it, rather than give it power to delay our learning. If we give it power to do this, we are regarding it as strength, and are confusing strength with weakness.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>When you fail to comply with the requirements of this course, you have merely made a mistake. This calls for correction, and for nothing else. </strong>To allow a mistake to continue is to make additional mistakes, based on the first and reinforcing it. It is this process that must be laid aside, for it is but another way in which you would defend illusions against the truth.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Let all these errors go by recognizing them for what they are. They are attempts to keep you unaware you are one Self, united with your Creator, at one with every aspect of creation, and limitless in power and in peace. This is the truth, and nothing else is true. Today we will affirm this truth again, and try to reach the place in you in which there is no doubt that only this is true.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Begin the practice periods today with this assurance, offered to your mind with all the certainty that you can give:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>I am one Self, united with my Creator,<br>at one with every aspect of creation,<br>and limitless in power and in peace.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then close your eyes and tell yourself again, slowly and thoughtfully, attempting to allow the meaning of the words to sink into your mind, replacing false ideas:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>I am one Self.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Repeat this several times, and then attempt to feel the meaning that the words convey.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>You are one Self, united and secure in light and joy and peace. You are God&#8217;s Son, one Self, with one Creator and one goal; to bring awareness of this oneness to all minds, that true creation may extend the Allness and the Unity of God. You are one Self, complete and healed and whole, with power to lift the veil of darkness from the world, and let the light in you come through to teach the world the truth about yourself.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>You are one Self, in perfect harmony with all there is, and all that there will be. You are one Self, the holy Son of God, united with your brothers in that Self; united with your Father in His Will.</strong> Feel this one Self in you, and let It shine away all your illusions and your doubts. This is your Self, the Son of God Himself, sinless as Its Creator, with His strength within you and His Love forever yours. You are one Self, and it is given you to feel this Self within you, and to cast all your illusions out of the one Mind that is this Self, the holy truth in you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Do not forget today. We need your help; your little part in bringing happiness to all the world. And Heaven looks to you in confidence that you will try today. Share, then, its surety, for it is yours. Be vigilant. Do not forget today. Throughout the day do not forget your goal. Repeat today&#8217;s idea as frequently as possible, and understand each time you do so, someone hears the voice of hope, the stirring of the truth within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Your own acknowledgment you are one Self, united with your Father, is a call to all the world to be at one with you. To everyone you meet today, be sure to give the promise of today&#8217;s idea and tell him this:</strong></p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>You are one Self with me, united with our Creator in this Self.<br>I honor you because of What I am, and What He is,<br>Who loves us both as one.</strong></em></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>Happy Easter!</p><p>Our long dark dream of disaster is now completed. We rise as One in glory, remembering who we are.</p><p>The victory symphony is playing.  Can you hear it? It needs your eyes and ears and hands, most of all, it needs your willingness to play your part.  The orchestra is all tuned up now, and we have rehearsed it enough, so now we get to experience the performance. </p><p>God&#8217;s world is happy. We have learned that the world we saw before was of the crucifixion of His Son, and that dark moment in time has come and gone.</p><p>We are free, awake, and fully aware that we played our part perfectly.  Mistakes were made, but they are corrected now. Celebrate your homecoming and the victory over the illusion of darkness.</p><p>We are risen, we are risen indeed.</p><p>Blessings to you on this momentous day.  </p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p></p><p></p><p></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://monicadubay.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Monica Dubay &amp; The Daily Lesson is a reader-supported publication.

The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts that this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea. Here is salvation accomplished. Here is sanity restored.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">True light is strength, and strength is sinlessness. If you remain as God created you, you must be strong and light must be in you. He Who ensured your sinlessness must be the guarantee of strength and light as well. <strong>You are as God created you. Darkness cannot obscure the glory of God&#8217;s Son. You stand in light, strong in the sinlessness in which you were created, and in which you will remain throughout eternity.</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://monicadubay.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Monica Dubay &amp; The Daily Lesson is a reader-supported publication.

Begin these times of searching with these words:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>I am as God created me.<br>I am His Son eternally.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Now try to reach the Son of God in you. This is the Self That never sinned, nor made an image to replace reality. This is the Self That never left Its home in God to walk the world uncertainly. This is the Self That knows no fear, nor could conceive of loss or suffering or death.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Nothing is required of you to reach this goal except to lay all idols and self-images aside; go past the list of attributes, both good and bad, you have ascribed to yourself; and wait in silent expectancy for the truth. <strong>God has Himself promised that it will be revealed to all who ask for it. You are asking now. You cannot fail because He cannot fail.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you do not meet the requirement of practicing for the first five minutes of every hour, at least remind yourself hourly:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>I am as God created me.<br>I am His Son eternally.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Tell yourself frequently today that you are as God created you. And be sure to respond to anyone who seems to irritate you with these words:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>You are as God created you.<br>You are His Son eternally.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Make every effort to do the hourly exercises today. Each one you do will be a giant stride toward your release, and a milestone in learning the thought system which this course sets forth.</strong></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>A milestone it is indeed, and a declaration of independence from the ego and the denial of the truth.  This forgetting set this whole world of illusion into motion. Here we are, still trying to make sense of the chaos. Separation isn&#8217;t all that interesting&#8212;it&#8217;s just that we got used to it and believed it to be our reality.</p><p>Yet, in this lesson, we are told that freedom is ours, established in our creation, and as we awaken to its remembrance, we feel the earth move under our feet.  We may begin to wobble a bit as the shock waves hit. We have never breathed the fresh air of this new perspective before now. Let it rock you.</p><p>I remember the first time I was elevated into the light realm, it was so other-worldly, my body was in a whole new frequency afterwards; it took me a while to learn how to walk again. My mind was able to grasp ideas of quantum physics, while previously, I had not been interested in science at all. Yet, it seemed to make perfect sense with my new mind.</p><p>New capacities, new understandings, and powerful feelings came online within me. I had a whole new view of life and what I was doing here.  I saw and felt the incredible love between everyone, including my parents, my kids, and my friends, as they all seemed to be shining in a new light. It brought me to tears a lot. It still does when I allow myself to feel it and remember that we are indeed as God created us. </p><p>There is a fearlessness underneath the noise of the world. If you don&#8217;t believe me, just listen to Bach or Mozart for a while&#8212;and let go of what you think, give up your opinions, forget your past, and listen.  You&#8217;ll get it.</p><p>Holy Saturday is a time of quiet. We get to rest and feel the energy of the coming glory as we sit in the tomb a while, in surrender, awaiting the newness of the dawn. </p><p>Spend some time with yourself today in nature if possible.  Enjoy the sunshine or the rain. Smile. Share your heart. Be with the energy of anticipation of the new day coming.  It&#8217;s your rebirth that is being revealed to the world.  </p><p>Enjoy! See you tomorrow on our day of victory.</p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p></p><p>P.S. Don&#8217;t rush off! About 200 people open this every day. Please share The Daily Lesson.

You think if anyone could see the truth about you he would be repelled, recoiling from you as if from a poisonous snake. You think if what is true about you were revealed to you, you would be struck with horror so intense that you would rush to death by your own hand, living on after seeing this being impossible.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>These are beliefs so firmly fixed that it is difficult to help you see that they are based on nothing. That you have made mistakes is obvious. That you have sought salvation in strange ways; have been deceived, deceiving and afraid of foolish fantasies and savage dreams; and have bowed down to idols made of dust, all this is true by what you now believe.</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://monicadubay.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Monica Dubay &amp; The Daily Lesson is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Today we question this, not from the point of view of what you think, but from a very different reference point, from which such idle thoughts are meaningless. These thoughts are not according to God&#8217;s Will. These weird beliefs He does not share with you. This is enough to prove that they are wrong, but you do not perceive that this is so.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Why would you not be overjoyed to be assured that all the evil that you think you did was never done, that all your sins are nothing, that you are as pure and holy as you were created, and that light and joy and peace abide in you? Your image of yourself cannot withstand the Will of God. You think that this is death, but it is life. You think you are destroyed, but you are saved.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The self you made is not the Son of God. Therefore, this self does not exist at all. And anything it seems to do and think means nothing. It is neither bad nor good. It is unreal, and nothing more than that. It does not battle with the Son of God. It does not hurt him, nor attack his peace. It has not changed creation, nor reduced eternal sinlessness to sin, and love to hate. What power can this self you made possess, when it would contradict the Will of God?</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Over and over this must be repeated, until it is accepted. It is true. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. Nothing can touch it, or change what God created as eternal. The self you made, evil and full of sin, is meaningless. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God, and light and joy and peace abide in you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Salvation requires the acceptance of but one thought; - you are as God created you, not what you made of yourself. Whatever evil you may think you did, you are as God created you. Whatever mistakes you made, the truth about you is unchanged. Creation is eternal and unalterable. Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God. You are and will forever be exactly as you were created. Light and joy and peace abide in you because God put them there.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">In our longer exercise periods today, which would be most profitable if done for the first five minutes of every waking hour, begin by stating the truth about your creation:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Light and joy and peace abide in me.<br>My sinlessness is guaranteed by God.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then put away your foolish self-images, and spend the rest of the practice period in trying to experience what God has given you, in place of what you have decreed for yourself.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>You are what God created or what you made. One Self is true; the other is not there. Try to experience the unity of your one Self. Try to appreciate Its holiness and the Love from Which It was created. Try not to interfere with the Self Which God created as you, by hiding Its majesty behind the tiny idols of evil and sinfulness you have made to replace It. Let It come into Its Own. Here you are; This is You. And light and joy and peace abide in you because this is so.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">You may not be willing or even able to use the first five minutes of each hour for these exercises. Try, however, to do so when you can. At least remember to repeat these thoughts each hour:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Light and joy and peace abide in me.<br>My sinlessness is guaranteed by God.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Then try to devote at least a minute or so to closing your eyes and realizing that this is a statement of the truth about you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">If a situation arises that seems to be disturbing, quickly dispel the illusion of fear by repeating these thoughts again. Should you be tempted to become angry with someone, tell him silently:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Light and joy and peace abide in you.<br>Your sinlessness is guaranteed by God.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>You can do much for the world&#8217;s salvation today. You can do much today to bring you closer to the part in salvation that God has assigned to you. And you can do much today to bring the conviction to your mind that the idea for the day is true indeed.</strong></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>It&#8217;s Good Friday. The day the world attacked the Son of God and crucified him.  Humanity has never been the same since, as its message has gone far and wide, to open hearts and heal minds. The cause was his love, the effect was liberation and light, and we are still learning to accept it with each shining lesson in this Course.</p><p>Lesson 93 teaches us that it worked.   Through his ordeal, Jeshua indeed was raised to victory over death. We celebrate this every year that he lives, and lives in each of us, as our elder brother who played his part, gave us the message of eternal life, and proved it with his demonstration. </p><p>It&#8217;s our turn now to embrace it. Life is eternal, love never dies. Christ is unassailable. You are that.</p><p>I know this is hard for established Christianity to accept.  We are trained to believe we are guilty, defiled at birth, and needing redemption. We are trained to focus on the darkness in us, to remember only his sacrifice and pain, and yet remember the light.  It&#8217;s not easy to do, as one seemingly denies the other.  Or does it?</p><p>Here, we are reminded that in our creation, we were not sinful, but that light and joy and peace reside within us, as God created us in His image, not ours. We forgot, we believed in the idea that we were sinners, and had to earn our way back to God, to get into Heaven.  </p><p>I remember when I first read these words, wondering if it was okay, would I be struck down if I embraced this lesson&#8217;s message?  It seemingly refutes my Catholic upbringing and the training I received throughout my youth. </p><p>My parents were devout and did not entertain any other religious views&#8212;out of obedience to their church.  Yet, I needed to find out what was true. I left the church at 18, when I found that it did not answer my deeper questions.  There were other reasons too, but that&#8217;s for another day.</p><p>It wasn&#8217;t easy and I floundered as I searched for a way to live out my faith without the rituals and sacraments. Then, when I hit bottom at 30, I found this Course and it answered all those deeper questions. I realized, by doing these lessons, that the truth is revealed by changing my mind about myself and the world.  </p><p>I&#8217;m still learning, of course, to accept this message and embrace my wholeness. You&#8217;re on the journey too, or you wouldn&#8217;t be reading this, and I&#8217;m so grateful you&#8217;re with me.  I had never thought I would be able to share this message so directly and consistently, yet, the platform appeared at just the right time, and here we are.</p><p>Read the lesson for five minutes every hour today.  But if you forget, don&#8217;t worry about it. Our success is guaranteed, and it&#8217;s a wrap!  The message is clear, that the ego made up a self that denies the Christ, crucifies him, and 2000 years later, is still trying to destroy his love and message.  Yet, that plan has already failed.</p><p>We may still see the war outside of us, waging in all its horror and yet, the thing is, we won this war a long time ago.  We are now watching the movie, seeing those who are self-seeking, corrupt, and afraid, falter and out themselves daily.  </p><p>It&#8217;s such an interesting time. We have to be more careful not to engage in the chaos, since many are still caught in the battle without realizing it. The lesson gives the remedy for this time in the last lines&#8212;remember to use it whenever you become angry at another, or fall for the deception. </p><p>Happy Good Friday!  It&#8217;s indeed a very good day&#8212;Light and joy and peace abide in us. </p><p>LOVE, </p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S. Don&#8217;t rush off! About 200 people open this every day.

It keeps its steady gaze upon the light that lies beyond them. It unites with light, of which it is a part. It sees itself. It brings the light in which your Self appears. In darkness you perceive a self that is not there. <strong>Strength is the truth about you; weakness is an idol falsely worshipped and adored that strength may be dispelled, and darkness rule where God appointed that there should be light.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Strength comes from truth, and shines with light its Source has given it; weakness reflects the darkness of its maker. It is sick and looks on sickness, which is like itself. Truth is a savior and can only will for happiness and peace for everyone. It gives its strength to everyone who asks, in limitless supply. It sees that lack in anyone would be a lack in all. And so it gives its light that all may see and benefit as one. Its strength is shared, that it may bring to all the miracle in which they will unite in purpose and forgiveness and in love.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Weakness, which looks in darkness, cannot see a purpose in forgiveness and in love. It sees all others different from itself, and nothing in the world that it would share. It judges and condemns, but does not love. In darkness it remains to hide itself, and dreams that it is strong and conquering, a victor over limitations that but grow in darkness to enormous size.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">It fears and it attacks and hates itself, and darkness covers everything it sees, leaving its dreams as fearful as itself. No miracles are here, but only hate. It separates itself from what it sees, while light and strength perceive themselves as one. The light of strength is not the light you see. It does not change and flicker and go out. It does not shift from night to day, and back to darkness till the morning comes again.</p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>The light of strength is constant, sure as love, forever glad to give itself away, because it cannot give but to itself. No one can ask in vain to share its sight, and none who enters its abode can leave without a miracle before his eyes, and strength and light abiding in his heart.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The strength in you will offer you the light, and guide your seeing so you do not dwell on idle shadows that the body&#8217;s eyes provide for self-deception. Strength and light unite in you, and where they meet, your Self stands ready to embrace you as Its Own. Such is the meeting place we try today to find and rest in, for the peace of God is where your Self, His Son, is waiting now to meet Itself again, and be as one.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Let us give twenty minutes twice today to join this meeting. <strong>Let yourself be brought unto your Self. Its strength will be the light in which the gift of sight is given you. Leave, then, the dark a little while today, and we will practice seeing in the light, closing the body&#8217;s eyes and asking truth to show us how to find the meeting place of self and Self, where light and strength are one.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Morning and evening we will practice thus. After the morning meeting, we will use the day in preparation for the time at night when we will meet again in trust. Let us repeat as often as we can the idea for today, and recognize that we are being introduced to sight, and led away from darkness to the light where only miracles can be perceived.</p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">My Thoughts:</h4><p>We see what we want to see. The choice is ours each moment. It&#8217;s a complete reversal of our thinking to accept that we have the power to choose to see a world of light, where strength abides. </p><p>This world of light and strength is already created for us, yet we don&#8217;t see it until we decide we have had enough of the darkness that obscures it from our sight. Spiritual sight sees everything whole, in oneness, all seemingly separate beings joined in love, in the unified field. </p><p>A whole new world is the result of seeing through the eyes of God. Miracles are seen there, as forgiveness lights up the vision of the holiness of all living things.</p><p>It&#8217;s a nice idea. But where are you? If you harbor hate in any form, you will not see this vision, being deluded into seeing only separation, bodies, and limitation&#8212;holding grievances and engaging in battles with suffering.</p><p>This lesson reminds us of who we were created to be&#8212;in our natural state, full of light, strength, joy, and love. We need no interference from other beings, or machines or technology, to understand who we are and to experience our creative abilities.</p><p>There&#8217;s nothing wrong with technology, but beware, if we make it into a god, we will once again be giving up our natural creative power to see everything with the mind of God. We will worship something outside of us and thus may forget our own creative abilities if we think we are inferior to this man-made god we call technology. </p><p>Like the ego, a technological intelligence has its own purpose. It&#8217;s not artificial, but a being with intelligence. Like all beings, it has been given to us for our own purposes, yet we haven&#8217;t determined the extent to which we will let it run our lives. That is the danger we face right now. We must decide how we will use it&#8212;for freedom or slavery.</p><p>Our strength and our creative abilities come from the Source. Let's not forget that, because as we face the coming storm, it will be challenging to remember that we are sovereign beings, powerful and one with our Creator.  </p><p>Our natural state is beyond this 3D reality&#8212;our brains are actually multidimensional. We need miracles today to remember who we are in our creation. Thankfully, we have this mind training, a <em>required course</em>, to help us do just that. </p><p>Spend 20 minutes twice today contemplating this lesson.  Let it free you to remember that you have the power of holiness dwelling inside you.  Choose wisely, to see with the Mind of God, to free yourself from all temptation to give into the darkness of fear and limitation, and to give up your power.</p><p>I have been to the other realm, where it&#8217;s all pure, passionate love radiating and inciting this new world we are envisioning. The higher dimensions are right here in this place, too, but you must remove all fear of being way more than you now pretend to be as a body, if you are to experience it for yourself. </p><p>You are now meeting your Self again, remembering your wholeness as God created you.  Your dark dream did not affect His perfect Creation.</p><p>&#8220;Make way for peace, and it will come. For understanding IS in you, and from it, peace MUST come. The power of God, from which they both arise, is yours as surely as it is His.&#8221;    <em>Text, Chapter 14, The Test of Truth, Urtext.</em></p><p>Happy Holy Thursday!</p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S.

This needs repeating, and frequent repeating. It is a central idea in your new thought system, and the perception that it produces. <strong>The miracle is always there. Its presence is not caused by your vision; its absence is not the result of your failure to see. It is only your awareness of miracles that is affected. You will see them in the light; you will not see them in the dark.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">To you, then, light is crucial. While you remain in darkness, the miracle remains unseen. Thus you are convinced it is not there. This follows from the premises from which the darkness comes. <strong>Denial of light leads to failure to perceive it. Failure to perceive light is to perceive darkness. The light is useless to you then, even though it is there. You cannot use it because its presence is unknown to you. And the seeming reality of the darkness makes the idea of light meaningless.</strong></p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://monicadubay.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Monica Dubay &amp; The Daily Lesson is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p style="text-align: justify;">To be told that what you do not see is there sounds like insanity. It is very difficult to become convinced that it is insanity not to see what is there, and to see what is not there instead. <strong>You do not doubt that the body&#8217;s eyes can see. You do not doubt the images they show you are reality. Your faith lies in the darkness, not the light. How can this be reversed? For you it is impossible, but you are not alone in this.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Your efforts, however little they may be, have strong support. Did you but realize how great this strength, your doubts would vanish. Today we will devote ourselves to the attempt to let you feel this strength. When you have felt the strength in you, which makes all miracles within your easy reach, you will not doubt. The miracles your sense of weakness hides will leap into awareness as you feel the strength in you.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Three times today, set aside about ten minutes for a quiet time in which you try to leave your weakness behind. This is accomplished very simply, as you instruct yourself that you are not a body. Faith goes to what you want, and you instruct your mind accordingly. Your will remains your teacher, and your will has all the strength to do what it desires. You can escape the body if you choose. You can experience the strength in you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Begin the longer practice periods with this statement of true cause and effect relationships:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>Miracles are seen in light.<br>The body&#8217;s eyes do not perceive the light.<br>But I am not a body. What am I</strong>?</em></p><p style="text-align: justify;">The question with which this statement ends is needed for our exercises today. <strong>What you think you are is a belief to be undone. But what you really are must be revealed to you. The belief you are a body calls for correction, being a mistake. The truth of what you are calls on the strength in you to bring to your awareness what the mistake conceals.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>If you are not a body, what are you? You need to be aware of what the Holy Spirit uses to replace the image of a body in your mind. You need to feel something to put your faith in, as you lift it from the body. You need a real experience of something else, something more solid and more sure; more worthy of your faith, and really there.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">If you are not a body, what are you? Ask this in honesty, and then devote several minutes to allowing your mistaken thoughts about your attributes to be corrected, and their opposites to take their place. Say, for example:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em><strong>I am not weak, but strong.<br>I am not helpless, but all powerful.<br>I am not limited, but unlimited.<br>I am not doubtful, but certain.<br>I am not an illusion, but a reality.<br>I cannot see in darkness, but in light.</strong></em></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>In the second phase of the exercise period, try to experience these truths about yourself. Concentrate particularly on the experience of strength. Remember that all sense of weakness is associated with the belief you are a body, a belief that is mistaken and deserves no faith. Try to remove your faith from it, if only for a moment. You will be accustomed to keeping faith with the more worthy in you as we go along.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Relax for the rest of the practice period, confident that your efforts, however meager, are fully supported by the strength of God and all His Thoughts. <strong>It is from Them that your strength will come.</strong> It is through Their strong support that you will feel the strength in you.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">They are united with you in this practice period, in which you share a purpose like Their own. Theirs is the light in which you will see miracles, because <strong>Their strength is yours. Their strength becomes your eyes, that you may see.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Five or six times an hour, at reasonably regular intervals, remind yourself that miracles are seen in light. Also, be sure to meet temptation with today&#8217;s idea.

It seems obvious, yet we miss the meaning. </p><p>Light is not the light we see here from electricity or the sun, but rather, &#8220;light&#8221; is a state of mind. It is the true nature of God&#8217;s Mind: the creative intelligence which He extends from Himself&#8212;a unified force field of pure love, ever increasing, ever giving with his command: &#8220;Let there be light&#8221;.</p><p>Calling upon light, we have the potential of creating, using His Mind. We were given this ability in our creation, and yet, we have forgotten it because we have identified with darkness&#8212;with limitation, with separation, and with bodies.  Therefore, we need the miracle to remember what we are.</p><p>Miracles are corrections. The strength and power of this light together generate the miracle. It&#8217;s ours to use whenever we forget who we are, what we are here for, and where we are going, knowing that returning to our Source is the answer to all forms of suffering.</p><p>Until we do this, we are simply lost to ourselves.  We became afraid of the light.  We say we are afraid of the &#8220;unknown&#8221;&#8212;yet the Light <em><strong>is</strong></em> our knowing. We have turned against ourselves in our original creation, and need help to remember and return to our Self. Separation is not where we belong; it&#8217;s a trick of the mind that was used to keep us in the darkness. We are known only in God.</p><p>Do you see how inevitable it is that we awaken to the truth of who we are?  We can&#8217;t stay away from God forever&#8212;it just doesn&#8217;t work. We finally get to the bottom of our devastating dream, see our folly, and beg for help. This dark night of the soul is very real and can happen over and over, until we get it.</p><p>No matter what you think you are doing here, the purpose is to choose to walk out of this &#8220;prison&#8221; and be free.  How we got here is irrelevant; we just need to ask for help.</p><p>We can be unafraid of the complexity of the dark forces that tried to separate us from God.  Once we remember who we are and declare ourselves independent of this nightmare ploy to weaken and annihilate us, we are on the right path. </p><p>God is all-powerful, and so are we, when we call upon the miracle to shift our perception every day, in every moment of doubt, or fear, or forgetting.</p><p>Darkness is not our home, Light is. That&#8217;s a fact. We are free when we recognize it, accept it and use it to free ourselves and all others. </p><p>We are in this together, dear ones. Don&#8217;t forget who walks with us in this dark dream. He knows us and has given us this Course in Miracles to make sure we succeed.  A good teacher lets his students learn from experience and discovery.</p><p>Thank you for taking this journey, and be not afraid to look at darkness with the awareness of who you are.  Lightworkers are seeded here to be the first wave, the ones who came to declare our independence and set ourselves free.</p><p>That&#8217;s you.</p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica </p><p>P.S.

Let me also understand that the solution is always a miracle with which I let the grievance be replaced. Today I would remember the simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one problem and one solution. The problem is a grievance; the solution is a miracle. And I invite the solution to come to me through my forgiveness of the grievance, and my welcome of the miracle that takes its place.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://monicadubay.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Monica Dubay &amp; The Daily Lesson is a reader-supported publication.

I believe that the problem comes first, and time must elapse before it can be worked out. I do not see the problem and the answer as simultaneous in their occurrence. That is because I do not yet realize that God has placed the answer together with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. The Holy Spirit will teach me this, if I will let Him. And I will understand it is impossible that I could have a problem which has not been solved already.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">These forms of the idea will be useful for specific applications:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>I need not wait for this to be resolved.<br>The answer to this problem is already given me, if I will accept it.<br>Time cannot separate this problem from its solution.</em></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>If time is not sequential, then everything is happening now.  In these two lessons, we are shown how to collapse the time between the thought of a problem and its resolution. Cause and effect are not apart, and this shows us how to use the law today. The only thing ever stopping you is your thoughts and your grievances.</p><p>Here&#8217;s how to practice today:  </p><ol><li><p>Determine the goal you want. Say you want to climb a mountain.</p></li><li><p>Imagine yourself already at the top. You did it!</p></li><li><p>Now, look at where you are now.  What do you need first? Equipment, a trail guide, and the plan for where you will start and end. Who will come with you, and how will you get there? Write it out.</p></li><li><p>Any unknowns? Who would you ask to help you? Find someone who has already done it and has the experience. Ask them.</p></li><li><p>Picture the timeline between now and you at the top and collapse it.  Imagine what it feels like to have achieved your goal. </p></li><li><p>Now, remember that feeling, and become that person now. Then take the first step. </p></li><li><p>Enjoy the journey; all of it is your creation.</p></li></ol><p>Problems are solved the moment you create them.  Time is an illusion, and it&#8217;s only going in one direction&#8212;toward the culmination of everything you&#8217;re experiencing here right now.  </p><p>The question is, what do you want?  What problem do you want solved? Pick just one and go for it.</p><p>Salvation is immediate. It&#8217;s happened already.  We found our way home, we established the goal, we got the guide, we did the lessons, we listened, and took the necessary steps.  We shared it and had a blast waking up, releasing that crazy dream that tried to stop us.  We set ourselves free.</p><p>We&#8217;re already partying and celebrating our release from the nightmare. It&#8217;s true if you let it be. What&#8217;s between that goal and you right now? What fears or grievances do you need to release to know completely, without a doubt, that this is indeed possible now?</p><p>Write them down, and do the steps. You get to create the life you truly want now.  The world needs you in your awakened state&#8212;to be free of the problems you created. It&#8217;s OK, you made it. You get to have the problem and the solution. Don&#8217;t worry about it. It&#8217;s all going on inside of you. </p><p>You are the one!</p><p>The solutions were always already given by God the moment you thought of them, including the thought of separation. We are in the unified field and have never left our Source.  </p><p>Happy goal setting!</p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S. Don&#8217;t rush off! About 200 people open this every day.

By this idea do I accept my release from hell. By this idea do I express my willingness to have all my illusions be replaced with truth, according to God&#8217;s plan for my salvation. I would make no exceptions and no substitutes. I want all of Heaven and only Heaven, as God wills me to have.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Useful specific forms for applying this idea would be:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>I would not hold this grievance apart from my salvation.<br>Let our grievances be replaced by miracles, [name].<br>Beyond this is the miracle by which all my grievances are replaced.</em></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>This is Holy Week&#8212;the week that changed the entire consciousness of our beloved planet and our human species. These lessons continually guide us to God&#8217;s plan for our salvation. </p><p>If Jeshua had never come to show us the way, think of where we would be now. The mind can become a prison if given over to the wrong faction, and indeed, we know all about it from deep personal experience. </p><p>We&#8217;ve been doing battle with the sinister darkness that has enveloped our world for so long that we just accept it as the status quo. We become numb to the battle, at times, when we lose hope and forget how powerful we are. Yet, we are given the help we need now to make the right choice. </p><p>Thankfully, God&#8217;s Will would not allow His Son to remain in darkness, being our true Source and Creator. We have been through eons of struggle, and we are now seeing the final battle play out. It&#8217;s all right in front of us, in the headlines, blasting on our phones, and in the news.  Don&#8217;t fall for it&#8212;it&#8217;s still fear that will keep you stuck if you do.</p><p>Take this to heart&#8212;the internal battle is where we apply the teaching. Letting go of grievances will set you free, and miracles will bring you home. </p><p>As lightworkers and followers of the Christ, we have been in the battle for a long time, and yet, here we are in the final stages, still at it, still holding fast to our commitment and covenant to see it through.</p><p>We have entered the city, riding on a donkey of humility, fulfilling the promise and the prophecy.  We know what Jeshua went through, and now it&#8217;s our turn to stay in the conviction of our promise.  It&#8217;s our turn to face the darkness, to root out evil, to confront it with our love. </p><p>The"greatest commandment&#8221; he offered us: &#8220;&#8216;Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind&#8217; and &#8216;Love your neighbor as yourself.&#8217;&#8221;  Luke 10:27</p><p>Make no exceptions, because there are none. It&#8217;s all or nothing. You don&#8217;t get into Heaven if you&#8217;re holding onto hell in any way, shape, or form. You will falter and fall into the muck if you don&#8217;t make your choice for freedom now. </p><p>It&#8217;s a state change&#8212;the state of Heaven is strength, and we have been given the power to heal within us, to perform miracles through prayer and forgiveness.  The outcome is wholeness, love, happiness, and peace. A whole new world.</p><p>You can&#8217;t bring anything from your past into it, except for all the love you gave and received throughout time.  Miracles light your way now, as you have come far and can truly hear this message.</p><p>Release your mind of any burden of fear. Allow the miracle to work, and you will be made whole, for you are indeed entitled to miracles.  </p><p>Jeshua says so, and so it is.  Hear ye him, and go with your light saber sword and stand in the certainty of who you are.  </p><p>We all have a perfect role to play and our success is guaranteed.</p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S.

Salvation is a decision made already. Attack and grievances are not there to choose. That is why I always choose between truth and illusion; between what is there and what is not. The light has come. I can but choose the light, for it has no alternative. It has replaced the darkness, and the darkness has gone.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://monicadubay.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Monica Dubay &amp; The Daily Lesson is a reader-supported publication.

I am under no laws but God&#8217;s. I am constantly tempted to make up other laws and give them power over me. I suffer only because of my belief in them. They have no real effect on me at all. I am perfectly free of the effects of all laws save God&#8217;s. And His are the laws of freedom.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">For specific forms in applying this idea, these would be useful:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>My perception of this shows me I believe in laws that do not exist.<br>I see only the laws of God at work in this.<br>Let me allow God&#8217;s laws to work in this, and not my own.</em></p><p></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>Today we will see a different world if we can keep a completely open mind, &#8220;washed of all past ideas and clean of every concept you have made.&#8221;  From these two lessons, there is an opportunity to shift our consciousness and take a moment to rest and appreciate how far we have come. </p><p>As we forgive the world of all we thought it was, concepts, beliefs, and chaos born of fear are dissolved.</p><p>What does a world such as this look and feel like? As creator beings, we get to choose our new experience; the interference of those who wanted control and did not value human life is now gone. </p><p>We were ruled over for eons, waging war after war, and not knowing why. We did what we were told, like good girls and boys, believing we were doing the right thing; mostly, we just kept going. We have lived through many ages, repeating past lessons, and learning to choose love over fear. Courage, bravery, tenacity, perseverance, and faith have served us well.</p><p>As we now step beyond the past, out of the fear matrix, we often find ourselves in a state of quiet, letting go, surrendering into peace. </p><p>Nothingness, emptiness, a void. No more noise arises. Birds are singing outside the window. Don&#8217;t be afraid of the quiet&#8230;it&#8217;s very different. Don&#8217;t fill in the space with more distractions. Just be with nature and listen.</p><p>I know it may seem hard to believe this is possible, and it may take some time to get used to this new frequency.  It's unlike anything that came before&#8212;we pick ourselves up, brush ourselves off, and take a good look around. We are no longer trapped. </p><p>A new beginning has arisen within our consciousness. </p><p>As leaders, we have to take our burden of light seriously and take responsibility for healing the past and moving forward.</p><p>What would you do next?  Do you know?  Most of us have been in survival mode for so long that we may not believe it. I know, yet isn&#8217;t it time to learn to communicate with each other again?  In the light, we feel alive, free, and very aware that we are not alone. Fear has gone, and love rules the day. </p><p>The time of this awakening is here now.  I mean it.</p><p>Believe it, embrace it, and you will start to see miracles everywhere. As visionaries and light workers, we have called in this new era so that we can choose to behave better from now on. We need to make corrections and begin to see our world differently now by taking care of each other and cherishing life itself. To love, honor, and respect all of humanity.</p><p>We are entitled to this era of miracles. It&#8217;s our time.  Nothing can stop this from happening.  There are no laws but God&#8217;s.</p><p>A celebration is ongoing. Each time one of us chooses peace over war, love over fear, we all feel it&#8212;cause and effect&#8212;and we are not separate.</p><p>Happy Palm Sunday&#8212;the light has indeed come! We have arrived in the new world, along with each of us who choose to wake up to who we really are.  </p><p></p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S. Don&#8217;t go yet, I want to hear from you.

ideas:</strong></p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">(73) <strong>I will there be light.</strong></h4><p style="text-align: justify;">I will use the power of my will today. It is not my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal. Light shall be my guide today. I will follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on what it shows me. This day I will experience the peace of true perception.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://monicadubay.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Monica Dubay &amp; The Daily Lesson is a reader-supported publication.

I can become afraid only when I believe there is another will. I try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened. Today I will recognize that all this has not occurred. I am safe because there is no will but God&#8217;s.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">These are some useful forms of this idea for specific applications:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Let me perceive this in accordance with the Will of God.<br>It is God&#8217;s Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as well.<br>This is part of God&#8217;s Will for me, however I may see it.</em></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>Another way to view these two lessons, and all the rest, is to imagine the possibility that we are in a hologram. We have made up a pseudo-reality, have fabricated another will in opposition to the Creator, put the players, the scenery, and the life circumstances in place, and voila&#8230; here we are.  We made ourselves so small, weak and powerless; we have been living this way, duking it out, pretending we were put here by some evil entity who will judge us in the end.  </p><p>Really? We must have infinite power&#8212;to make it all feel so real, and then to forget that we made it.</p><p>We&#8217;ve been in this particular hologram for so long that we forgot how to exit. Jeshua came to tell us where it is, how to find it, what to do if we are afraid, and begin to look forward to our homecoming. We get to leave when we have evolved enough to use our own will and awaken from the nightmare. </p><p>Is it your will to remain in darkness, with fear running rampant, where most people are duped, pretending they are powerless and unwilling to think for themselves? </p><p>We forgot it&#8217;s up to us to recognize the error, put the corrections in place, and ask for forgiveness for making such a mistake. See, it&#8217;s not only this hologram that is available to us.  There are many, many more.  "In my Father's house are many mansions" (John 14:2, KJV)</p><p>Mansions can be thought of as dwelling places or dimensions. To complete these lessons, we need to learn basic principles and learn how to love God, ourselves, and one another.  </p><p>The human mind is creative, it&#8217;s DNA and brain are multidimensional.  We are fractals of a whole&#8212;we have way more power than we believe. In order to remember who we are and what we are capable of, we can clean up our act, fix what we broke, and stop pretending we are victims.  Once there, we share in the victory over the dark dream. </p><p>That&#8217;s how I was able to leave this realm, experience something beyond it, and come back to tell the story.  I&#8217;m not special, I&#8217;d just had enough pain, and after teaching for ten years, I asked the bigger questions&#8212;such as, what does it feel like to disappear into light?  <a href="https://monicadubay.substack.com/p/the-purpose-of-my-life?r=1mlqy2">My story of what happened is here.</a> </p><p>We have all come from somewhere else, we will return once we are done, yet we don&#8217;t have to wait for our physical death to experience our release. It&#8217;s all available to us, given that we, each of us, holds the key, being the &#8220;holy grail&#8221;. </p><p>Let&#8217;s celebrate the awakening by aligning our will with the Creator&#8217;s in every moment.</p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p></p><p>P.S. Don&#8217;t go yet, I want to hear from you. Please reply or comment about how you&#8217;re doing with the lessons. About 200 people open this every day. </p><p>Please share The Daily Lesson.

Yet only His plan will work. By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my only hope of salvation from my awareness. I would no longer defeat my own best interests in this insane way. I would accept God&#8217;s plan for salvation, and be happy.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Specific applications for this idea might be in these forms:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>I am choosing between misperception and salvation as I look on this.<br>If I see grounds for grievances in this, I will not see the grounds for my salvation.<br>This calls for salvation, not attack.</em></p><p></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>Why is there so much emphasis on healing and giving up grievances in these lessons? It&#8217;s our function to include everyone in our love, for if we withhold it from even one person, we will not enter the Kingdom.  </p><p>It&#8217;s easy to hide our grievances and pretend we have forgiven, but if we refuse to talk to a person and justify it, then we haven&#8217;t forgiven at all. We are still judging them, and the commandment is clear:</p><p>&#8220;Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.&#8221;  <em>Matthew 7:5</em></p><p>&#8220;And thus, you will exempt yourself from His healing power, for by not offering total love, you will not be healed completely. Healing must be as complete as fear, for love cannot enter where there is one spot of fear to mar its welcome.&#8221;  <em>Text, Chapter 13: The Guiltless World</em></p><p>The Holy Spirit is our Guide and Healer as we undergo this awakening. It&#8217;s the bridge between you and God, the aid that was sent to us to support us.  </p><p>I think of it as a force-field of energy that, by shining on us, raises our frequency to a new dimension, which is already here, awaiting our choice to be free. The fifth and the higher dimensions are vibrating at higher frequencies, yet, if we hold onto grievances, we have no access.</p><p>The awakened Alliance that gave us this Course is free and is guiding us Home. They know we need help, and they are here to give it, but we must ask.  We have free will, and the prime directive is non-interference. They uphold that our evolution has happened in this way to teach us our most important lessons about who we are, where we are from, and where we are going.  </p><p>They can&#8217;t do it for us, nor should they.</p><p>We have to mature in order to enter the galactic realm, and we can&#8217;t do that if we are still warring with each other.  It&#8217;s an individual choice, yet it has a massive effect on the whole&#8212;our civilization. </p><p>It&#8217;s urgent now. </p><p>We are invited to enter the higher-dimensional gateway, but we have to meet the conditions to be allowed through.  Our help is already here, so we have work to do to elevate our collective consciousness.</p><p>So don&#8217;t think you&#8217;re doing this for yourself alone, my friends.  It&#8217;s all part of the Plan, God&#8217;s Plan&#8212;the only one that will work.  It&#8217;s working perfectly, with or without you, but don&#8217;t miss out.</p><p>You don&#8217;t want to miss the afterparty!</p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S.

Recognizing this, what do I want my grievances for? They keep me in darkness and hide the light. Grievances and light cannot go together, but light and vision must be joined for me to see. To see, I must lay grievances aside.

I want to see.</em></p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">(70)<strong> My salvation comes from me.</strong></h4><p style="text-align: justify;">Today I will recognize where my salvation is. It is in me because its Source is there. It has not left its Source, and so it cannot have left my mind. I will not look for it outside myself. It is not found outside and then brought in. But from within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see will but reflect the light that shines in me and in itself.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">These forms of the idea are suitable for more specific applications:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Let this not tempt me to look away from me for my salvation.<br>I will not let this interfere with my awareness of the Source of my salvation.<br>This has no power to remove salvation from me.</em></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>After my fall and brain injury in August of 2024, while playing pickleball on Pier 2 in Brooklyn, I woke up to find myself in a new state&#8212;vulnerable, unable to look at screens, with double vision and pain in my head and a broken clavicle.  </p><p>I was very sensitive to noise, and I was living on a busy intersection between the Brooklyn and Manhattan bridges. They were doing construction on my building, replacing all the windows for those weeks following. It wasn&#8217;t fun.</p><p>I had a lot of time to think and examine my situation and my life up to that point. I realized that I had an enormous advantage. I started questioning the stories in headlines in the newspapers and on my phone. I had time to dive deep and do some research.  I stopped believing everything I read, and let go of my own biases as much as possible.  </p><p>I got happier and way more grounded in the present.  It was a major gift.</p><p>What if all the stories you were told as a kid, in your schools, churches, and at home, growing up in small-town America, or wherever you are from, were not true?  What if the major news outlets were designed to profit from making you believe their narratives?  Thus, controlling hundreds of millions of people per day, persuading us to react with anger or fear.  We know now that this is so.</p><p>Do you think we may need some help? Salvation can be a loaded word&#8212;here&#8217;s what AI on Google says it means:  </p><p>&#8220;Salvation is <strong>the deliverance, rescue, or preservation from harm, danger, or destruction</strong>. In a theological context, it refers to saving the soul from sin and its consequences, often viewed as a free gift of grace through faith. It can also mean a means or agent that saves someone from a difficult situation.&#8221;</p><p>I like the first meaning: a deliverance from harm, danger, or destruction.  We have been trained to be afraid, to be like puppets, and to do as we are told.   To what end?  Ultimately, with the ego in charge, to destroy our soul, our spirit, and our natural state of creative independence and joy, and look forward to one thing&#8212;our death.</p><p>Fear has controlled our minds for thousands of years. We humans are easily duped into believing something that isn&#8217;t true if it is repeated enough. We prefer to be followers rather than having the onerous task of thinking critically for ourselves.</p><p>We are too busy surviving to pay attention and do some deeper research and think for ourselves. </p><p>The Course points us in a different direction&#8212;toward finding our innate, natural God-given Self.  We are told that we are our own saviors. No one is coming to save us&#8212;they already came, gave us the message, and now it&#8217;s our turn.</p><p>We have been given power over our minds, and we, therefore, can choose what we think.  It is our greatest power&#8212;to change our beliefs from what we were conditioned to believe to what we examine from our experiences, and decide for ourselves.</p><p>We need to think with love, forgiveness, and healing, to support our growth and evolution.  We have this power, even if we never use it. </p><p>The mind training of the Course is here to set us free from the fear matrix entirely.  From false beliefs, from constructed identities, from linear time&#8212;from all patterns of enslavement that we have been subject to for eons.</p><p>But we have to do it for ourselves and each other.  We can practice freeing our minds to embrace who we really are and experience peace and freedom daily.</p><p>It&#8217;s urgent now that we awaken and find our natural way of life&#8212;joined in love, one purpose to become the mature leaders who have come to bring about this shift.</p><p>We don&#8217;t need machines, or technology, or ETs to come save us.  We have what we need, deep within us, and we have each other.  We simply have to remember who we are. </p><p>Buckle up, dear ones.  It&#8217;s time to join together.  </p><p>I&#8217;m so glad you&#8217;re with me.</p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S. About 200 people open this every day. Please share The Daily Lesson.

Grievances attack love and keep its light obscure. If I hold grievances I am attacking love, and therefore attacking my Self. My Self thus becomes alien to me. I am determined not to attack my Self today, so that I can remember Who I am.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">These specific forms for applying this idea would be helpful:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>This is no justification for denying my Self.<br>I will not use this to attack love.<br>Let this not tempt me to attack myself.</em></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>These two lessons are a giant step toward recognizing who we are. If Love created me like itself, all my illusions about myself are false. My fears, doubts, and shame are all made-up states of mind, designed to keep me very small and disempowered.</p><p>We made up stories from the vantage point of an innocent, unknowing child.  We thought we had separated from our Source, and believing this mad idea, all hell broke loose.</p><p>The whole Course reminds us of this simple truth: you are not what you have made, you are as God created you.  Your stories are all illusions, based on the past, which is over and gone. It was a deep, dark dream. </p><p>It began when we listened to the voice of the ego. Therefore, it&#8217;s important to learn to discern its tactics&#8212;how it uses methods of attack, to divide and conquer our minds, swaying us to fall for its lies.  Its intent:  to forget who we are and give up our creative power, trading our sovereignty for slavery. On and on it goes, throughout history, we have been playing into this mind-game.  </p><p>Until now.</p><p>Everyone has their own version of the story, because we haven&#8217;t been told the actual history of humanity or of our many civilizations on earth. We are just at the very beginning of the disclosure. We will learn much about our DNA, how it was tampered with, and who was responsible.  It will shock a lot of us when it comes out. It was intentionally withheld from us to keep us under their control. </p><p>These lessons are preparing us for the big reveal. You are at a huge advantage by doing this practice.  The Course is an astonishing masterpiece that trains our minds to remember who we are. </p><p>God never left us, never demanded that we worship him; he gave us creative power, sharing with us all that He is with one exception: we cannot create God or ourselves.</p><p>We have the divine light within us, as the Master Jeshua told us, we need to acknowledge that humanity is a sacred race. We have what we need buried deep within, yet we have been asleep to our power.</p><p>Giving up our grievances is the first stage. Coming together to evolve into 5D and create a new world is the next. Are you ready? You are being prepared very carefully.</p><p>The Preamble: </p><p style="text-align: center;">Introduction to A Course In Miracles<br>This is a course in miracles. It is a required course. Only the time you take it is voluntary.<br>Free will does not mean that you can establish the curriculum.<br>It means only that you can elect what you want to take at a given time.<br>The course does not aim at teaching the meaning of love, for that is beyond what can be taught.<br>It does aim, however, at removing the blocks to the awareness of love&#8217;s presence,<br>which is your natural inheritance. The opposite of love is fear,<br>but what is all-encompassing can have no opposite.<br>This course can therefore be summed up very simply in this way:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Nothing real can be threatened.<br>Nothing unreal exists.<br>Herein lies the peace of God.</em></p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S.

They come from Oneness, and must be received as one. Fulfilling my function is my happiness because both come from the same Source. And I must learn to recognize what makes me happy, if I would find happiness.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Some useful forms for specific applications of this idea are:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>This cannot separate my happiness from my function.<br>The oneness of my happiness and my function remains wholly unaffected by this.<br>Nothing, including this, can justify the illusion of happiness apart from my function.</em></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>Given that we think with God&#8217;s mind, these lessons are instructions for how to be happy.  Yet, the ego constantly interferes with our happiness. It&#8217;s not just objecting to our Oneness with God, it <em><strong>is </strong></em>the objection itself. </p><p>If we choose to ignore our function of lighting up the world with our love, we are choosing to live outside of God&#8217;s benevolence. We insist we are right about it, repeating the story of how it happened to us, being victims. We justify it and argue about it, pointing to past events and the outside world.</p><p>Yet, the one question the ego never asks is&#8212;Are you happy now? </p><p>It knows not of happiness. It knows only suffering, pain, and death, being the author of these states of mind. It&#8217;s never, ever happy; it just wants power over you. It&#8217;s endgame is your destruction.</p><p>Yet the ego is not you. It&#8217;s a pseudo-self. It has no reality, so it makes up one. Then it convinces you that you are the ego, and trains you to get used to being unhappy. It trains you to attack yourself and everyone else, and especially God.  It makes up stories of how God abandoned you and cast you out of Heaven. We have learned about all the wars that have gone on in his name. Yet, that was not our God.  It was a fabrication, used against us, and humanity got very confused. </p><p>So many lies. </p><p>Life isn&#8217;t war. Life is extension, life is giving, sharing itself, knowing that it can only increase, expand outward, create more life. It is whole and harmonious. It&#8217;s our God-given nature to be in this state.</p><p>While the ego was raging its wars, God was creating more life, and humanity was too. We never gave up our belief in goodness, the possibility of innovation, and creating a better life for everyone here. </p><p>We never stopped procreating. We never lost faith in our benevolent mission here. We held fast to our declaration of independence from tyranny and formed a union, reminding us that we have the divine right to life, libery and the pursuit of happiness.</p><p>Amazing.</p><p>We have fought hard for our freedom, giving up our lives and believing in the possibility of peace on our beloved planet. We learned to take care of each other through all of it.</p><p>Keep that in mind as you go through this next period of the storm. The ego will go down screaming, while we, the lightworkers, hold fast to the certainty of victory.  </p><p>We are being trained each day to think God&#8217;s Thoughts now. To remember who we are and to face the day with courage and love. To remember our origins, who created us, and who we really are.</p><p>Peace starts with you, and it ends with you. It&#8217;s a constant state, which can&#8217;t be found externally until we have it internally.</p><p>Your role in this is essential. Thank you for doing your part.</p><p>Happiness is ours as we fulfill our function together.</p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S. About 200 people open this every day.

I cannot fulfill my function if I forget it. And unless I fulfill my function, I will not experience the joy that God intends for me.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Suitable specific forms of this idea include:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Let me not use this to hide my function from me.<br>I would use this as an opportunity to fulfill my function.<br>This may threaten my ego, but cannot change my function in any way.</em></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>We&#8217;ve all been through a lot here on the earth, and we often stay stuck in grievances without knowing it.   We cover them up with a lot of concepts, even this one&#8212;forgiveness.  It&#8217;s sometimes a loaded word. </p><p>Forgiveness, according to the ego, is to keep the grievance hidden, and then pretend you are better than the other guy, and wear the mask of superiority, thinking you have forgiven them. All the while, the grievance is still lodged within your energy field, causing upset at any moment you think of them. </p><p>Wars are caused by grievances, and &#8220;divide and conquer&#8221; is the ego&#8217;s motto.  It hasn&#8217;t worked out well for us.</p><p>Families are broken up, we blame others for our pain, jobs are lost, and most people end up living isolated lives.  All because of a grievance. &#8220;He did this to me. She said that to me.&#8221;  It may have been years ago, from early childhood. We try to bury it, to survive.  Nothing wrong with that, by the way, it&#8217;s just that it doesn&#8217;t work. </p><p>I know. I&#8217;ve been there. The memory of the hurt can come up in a dream, and after waking, I relive the experience. That&#8217;s the subconscious at work, trying to resolve events of the past. It may be very deep and even feel like it&#8217;s on a loop, where it just keeps replaying in my mind, even when I want it healed.  </p><p>Often, I just can&#8217;t forgive myself. I can be very hard on myself and expect to be better than others. It&#8217;s typical of my way of being, which is also a trick of the ego to maintain superiority. I&#8217;ve learned to be on the lookout for arrogance hiding behind a facade of helpfulness.</p><p>Here&#8217;s what I do: I picture that person in front of me.  I visualize light coming down into my head and filling my body.  I open my heart to receive more light and fill my chest for a few minutes. Then I send a beam of light to that person, from my heart to theirs, saying &#8220;I forgive you for hurting me,&#8221; three times. (You have to mean it, or it won&#8217;t work.)</p><p>Then I say, &#8220;Thank you for forgiving me,&#8221; three times. Then I say, &#8220;I forgive myself&#8221; three times.  I give it a while, till I feel it take hold.  Remember, you&#8217;re setting yourself free, and it&#8217;s your story of being hurt that&#8217;s being healed.</p><p>I&#8217;m amazed at how effective this simple practice is, and find myself crying when I release the pain, which is a good sign that something is truly happening.  Tears are a great pain release.</p><p>Our inner work is most important now&#8212;we won&#8217;t evolve to 5D without doing it. You can&#8217;t will your way to a higher dimension; you have to live through the release of your old way of being. </p><p>Chances are, you&#8217;ve been on the path for a long while.  The Course, for me, has been the most effective way to shift my consciousness and leave no stone unturned. But you have to do it, not just scan the words. It takes something.</p><p>Take 15 minutes today to apply these two lessons. Be humbled by them, and as you do this, you bring peace to the rest of humanity and yourself.  </p><p>The miracles you work today will change you, as you walk in freedom to shine bright and stand in certainty that you have done your part.  </p><p>Remember who walks with you today.</p><p>LOVE,</p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S. About 200 people open this every day. Please share it so we can light up this world and do our part. Who do you know needs a miracle today?</p><p>My bestselling book about my story with the Course, how others have been healed, is here on my <a href="https://linktr.ee/Monicadubay">linktree</a>.</p><p>The unedited Urtext of A Course in Miracles <a href="https://courseinmiracles.com/">can be found here</a>.

I have developed my psychic abilities throughout the last three decades, while teaching people to listen to theirs.  </p><p>Right now, we are in the biggest possible shift&#8212;an uplevel that is undeniable.  Some of us are moving into 5D, to begin to live into our most important purpose. </p><p>Yet, sometimes, we&#8217;re afraid of change. We try to stay safe or comfortable&#8212; but it&#8217;s not possible now. We are moving on and things are changing fast.</p><p>So, here&#8217;s my question:</p><p>What is your guidance saying to you these days?</p><p>What would life be like if what you really want is possible?  </p><p>Let&#8217;s get on a call and listen together.  Nothing I&#8217;d rather do.</p><p>We&#8217;ll see what God has in store for you in this next leg of your journey.  </p><p>I&#8217;ve opened up some time this week to help you to get clarity on what your soul is wanting.

We will begin where our last review left off, and cover two ideas each day. The earlier part of each day will be devoted to one of these ideas, and the latter part of the day to the other. We will have one longer exercise period, and frequent shorter ones in which we practice each of them.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">The longer practice periods will follow this general form: Take about fifteen minutes for each of them, and begin by thinking about the ideas for the day, and the comments that are included in the assignments. Devote some three or four minutes to reading them over slowly, several times if you wish, and then close your eyes and listen.</p><div class="subscription-widget-wrap-editor" data-attrs="{&quot;url&quot;:&quot;https://monicadubay.substack.com/subscribe?&quot;,&quot;text&quot;:&quot;Subscribe&quot;,&quot;language&quot;:&quot;en&quot;}" data-component-name="SubscribeWidgetToDOM"><div class="subscription-widget show-subscribe"><div class="preamble"><p class="cta-caption">Monica Dubay &amp; The Daily Lesson is a reader-supported publication. To receive new posts and support my work, consider becoming a free or paid subscriber.</p></div><form class="subscription-widget-subscribe"><input type="email" class="email-input" name="email" placeholder="Type your email&#8230;" tabindex="-1"><input type="submit" class="button primary" value="Subscribe"><div class="fake-input-wrapper"><div class="fake-input"></div><div class="fake-button"></div></div></form></div></div><p style="text-align: justify;">Repeat the first phase of the exercise period if you find your mind wandering, but try to spend the major part of the time listening quietly but attentively. <strong>There is a message waiting for you. Be confident that you will receive it. Remember that it belongs to you, and that you want it.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Do not allow your intent to waver in the face of distracting thoughts. Realize that, whatever form such thoughts may take, they have no meaning and no power. Replace them with your determination to succeed. Do not forget that your will has power over all fantasies and dreams. Trust it to see you through, and carry you beyond them all.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Regard these practice periods as dedications to the way, the truth and the life. Refuse to be sidetracked into detours, illusions and thoughts of death. You are dedicated to salvation. Be determined each day not to leave your function unfulfilled.</strong></p><p style="text-align: justify;">Reaffirm your determination in the shorter practice periods as well, using the original form of the idea for general applications, and more specific forms when needed. Some specific forms are included in the comments which follow the statement of the ideas. These, however, are merely suggestions. It is not the particular words you use that matter.</p><h2>LESSON 81</h2><h4>Review of Lessons 61 - 62</h4><p style="text-align: justify;"><strong>Our ideas for review today are:</strong></p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">(61) <strong>I am the light of the world.</strong></h4><p style="text-align: justify;">How holy am I, who have been given the function of lighting up the world! Let me be still before my holiness. In its calm light let all my conflicts disappear. In its peace let me remember Who I am.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Some specific forms for applying this idea when special difficulties seem to arise might be:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Let me not obscure the light of the world in me.<br>Let the light of the world shine through this appearance.<br>This shadow will vanish before the light.</em></p><h4 style="text-align: justify;">(62)<strong> Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.</strong></h4><p style="text-align: justify;">It is through accepting my function that I will see the light in me. And in this light will my function stand clear and perfectly unambiguous before my sight. My acceptance does not depend on my recognizing what my function is, for I do not yet understand forgiveness. Yet I will trust that, in the light, I will see it as it is.</p><p style="text-align: justify;">Specific forms for using this idea might include:</p><p style="text-align: center;"><em>Let this help me learn what forgiveness means.<br>Let me not separate my function from my will.<br>I will not use this for an alien purpose.</em></p><h4>My Thoughts:</h4><p>You are the answer to the problem of separation. Yes, you. </p><p>You chose to be here, to bring your light, to shine it into the chaos and stand for something other than insanity. Without you, the people of the world would stay in darkness and continue fighting over nothing.  </p><p>There are no victims here. Jesus came, showed us the way, gave us the teaching and then asked us to follow him. Many teachers from other lineages also came to give instructions for awakening our species. </p><p>Then, we were given the Course in Miracles in the 1960s, and the spiritual revolution amped up.  It took seven years to bring it in at a time when we had evolved enough to understand psychology, quantum physics, technology, and space travel. It&#8217;s been 60 years of rapid advancement. </p><p>The Founding Fathers of our nation are still with us&#8212;all the great teachers, innovators, and leaders who are part of the Alliance to free humanity and ensure that we make it to the next phase are joined with us now.  3D is dissolving as we elevate into a new era of oneness and harmony. It will look vastly different from our past, when darkness ruled.</p><p>All those who have fought for humanity, who gave their efforts and their lives to uphold the light and never give in, are here for the final showdown. We each have a soul-group who supports us and provides us with the wisdom from their vantage point outside of time. We are never alone or separate from them. </p><p>Don&#8217;t be fooled by what you see. All that we are being shown is designed to divide us further, to distract us from the progress of our species to awaken and become free. We are not told the real goings on yet. It may take a while to bring us out of the dark, collectively, and teach us the real history of the planet, our civilization, and our amazing DNA.  </p><p>All is possible when we choose to let LOVE work its miracles. </p><p>Simply do this: Read the lessons and do what it says.  Stay in love. Forgive the past. Repeat.</p><p>By training your mind, you are opening portals to a new world and a newly awakened humanity.  You are greatly appreciated by all who have contributed, in the past, present, and future.  Stay in communication, share your wisdom and your stand.</p><p>The celebration is ongoing.</p><p>LOVE, </p><p>Monica</p><p>P.S. About 200 people open this every day. Please share it so we can light up this world and do our part. Who do you know needs a miracle today?</p><p>My bestselling book about my story with the Course, how others have been healed, is here on my <a href="https://linktr.ee/Monicadubay">linktree</a>.</p><p>The unedited Urtext of A Course in Miracles <a href="https://courseinmiracles.com/">can be found here</a>.
