Lesson 164.

Now are we one with Him who is our source.

At time but now can truth be recognized.

The present is the only time there is.

And so today,

This instant,

Now,

We come to look upon what is forever there.

Not in our sight,

But in the eyes of Christ.

Say to yourself,

Say in your mind,

Now are we one with Him who is our source.

Repeat after me,

Now I am one with my source.

I am one with my source.

Christ looks past time and sees eternity as represented there.

Christ hears the sounds the senseless busy world engenders.

Yet He hears them faintly.

For beyond them all He hears the song of heaven.

He hears the voice for God.

More clear,

More meaningful,

More near.

The world fades easily away before His sight.

Its sounds grow dim.

A melody from far beyond the world increasingly is more and more distinct.

An ancient call to which Christ gives an ancient answer.

You will recognize them both,

Both the call and the answer.

For they are your answer to your Father's call to you.

Christ answers for you,

Echoing your higher self.

Christ uses your voice to give His glad consent,

Accepting your deliverance for you.

Let's practice.

Say to yourself,

Say in your mind,

Now I am one with my source.

Open the curtain,

Let go of all the things you think you want.

Put away your trifling treasures.

Leave a clean and open space within your mind.

This is the space where Christ comes and offers you the treasure of salvation.

Now clear your mind,

Open the space and say to yourself,

Now I am one with my source.

I'll be silent.

Clear your mind.

This is the space where Christ comes.

I am one with my source.

You can exchange all suffering for joy this very day.

Practice in earnest and the gift is yours.

Did God deceive you?

Can God's promise fail?

Can you withhold so little when God's hand holds out complete salvation?

Now I am one with my source.

I am one with my source.

Nothing real can be threatened.

Nothing unreal exists.

Therein lies the peace of God.
