Lesson 87: From A Course in Miracles
LESSON 87
Review of Lessons 73 - 74
Our review today will cover these ideas:
(73) I will there be light.
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.
These forms of this idea would be helpful for specific applications:
This cannot hide the light I will to see.
You stand with me in light, [name].
In the light this will look different.
(74) There is no will but God’s.
I am safe today because there is no will but God’s. 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’s.
These are some useful forms of this idea for specific applications:
Let me perceive this in accordance with the Will of God.
It is God’s Will you are His Son, [name], and mine as well.
This is part of God’s Will for me, however I may see it.
My Thoughts:
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… 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.
Really? We must have infinite power—to make it all feel so real, and then to forget that we made it.
We’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.
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?
We forgot it’s up to us to recognize the error, put the corrections in place, and ask for forgiveness for making such a mistake. See, it’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)
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.
The human mind is creative, it’s DNA and brain are multidimensional. We are fractals of a whole—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.
That’s how I was able to leave this realm, experience something beyond it, and come back to tell the story. I’m not special, I’d just had enough pain, and after teaching for ten years, I asked the bigger questions—such as, what does it feel like to disappear into light? My story of what happened is here.
We have all come from somewhere else, we will return once we are done, yet we don’t have to wait for our physical death to experience our release. It’s all available to us, given that we, each of us, holds the key, being the “holy grail”.
Let’s celebrate the awakening by aligning our will with the Creator’s in every moment.
LOVE,
Monica
