Review.
Lesson 159.
I give the miracles I have received.
No one can give what they have not received.
To give something requires first you have it in your own possession.
The laws of heaven and the laws of the world agree,
But here they also separate.
The world believes that to possess a thing it must be kept.
Salvation teaches otherwise.
Salvation teaches to give is how to recognize you have received.
It is the proof that what you have is yours.
You understand that you are healed when you give healing.
You accept forgiveness as accomplished in yourself when you forgive.
You recognize your brother or sister as yourself,
And thus do you perceive that you are whole.
There is no miracle you cannot give,
For all miracles are given you.
Receive them now.
Open the storehouse of your mind where miracles are laid,
And give all the miracles away.
Say to yourself,
Say in your mind,
I give the miracles I have received.
I give the miracles I have received.
Things which seem quite solid in this world are merely shadows in heaven,
Transparent,
Faintly seen,
At times forgot,
And never able to obscure the light that shines beyond them.
Holiness has been restored to vision.
The blind can see.
Repeat to yourself,
I give the miracles I have received.
Ponder on this.
I give the miracles I have received.
Behold the store of miracles set out for you to give.
Are you not worth the gift when God appointed it be given to you?
Judge not,
But follow in the way God has established.
Christ has dreamed the dream of a forgiven world.
It is his gift whereby a sweet transition can be made from death,
From hopelessness,
To hope.
Let us for an instant dream with Christ.
His dream awakens us to truth.
Christ's vision gives us the means for a return to our unlost and everlasting sanctity in God.
Say to yourself,
I give the miracles I have received.
Ponder on this.
I give the miracles I have received.
God is love,
And therefore so am I.
Steady our feet,
Father.
Let our doubts be quiet.
Let our holy minds be still and speak to us.
We have no words to give to you.
We will listen to your word and make it ours.
Lead our practicing,
As does a father lead a little child.
Along the way,
They do not understand,
Yet do they follow,
Sure that they are safe,
Because their father leads the way for them.
So,
Do we bring our practicing to you.
If we stumble,
We know you will raise us up.
If we forget the way,
We count upon your sure remembering.
If we wander off,
We know you will not forget to call us back.
Quicken our footsteps now,
That we may walk more certainly and quickly unto you.
We accept the word you offer us to unify our practicing,
As we review the thoughts that you have given us in these lessons.
God is love,
And therefore so am I.
Lesson 160.
Review.
I am at home.
Fear is the stranger here.
Fear is a stranger to the ways of love.
Identify with fear,
And you will be a stranger to yourself,
And thus,
You are unknown.
What is your higher self remains an alien to the part of you which thinks that it is real,
But different from your higher self.
Who could be sane in such a circumstance?
Who could believe he is what he is not,
And judge against himself?
Say to yourself,
Repeat after me,
I am at home.
Fear is the stranger here.
Reflect on this.
I am at home.
Fear is the stranger here.
If you are real,
Then fear must be an illusion.
If fear is real,
Then you do not exist at all.
If your way is lost,
A miracle will search you out.
The miracle will come,
For in your real home,
Your higher self remains.
Your higher self asked no stranger in,
And took no alien thought to be itself.
Who is the stranger?
You are unable now to recognize this stranger in your midst,
For you have given to this stranger your hear the voice of God assure you quietly and sure that you are not a stranger to your higher self whom God has joined.
Remain forever one at home in your higher self who is no stranger to God himself.
Say in your mind,
Repeat after me,
I am at home.
Fear is the stranger here.
Ponder on this.
I am at home.
Fear is the stranger here.
I am at home.
Fear is the stranger here.
Fear is a stranger to the ways of love.
Identify with fear,
And you will be a stranger to yourself.
Let us dream with Christ.
His dream awakens us to truth.
God is love,
And therefore,
So am I.
I give the miracles I have received.
I am at home.
Fear is the stranger here.
Nothing real can be threatened.
Nothing unreal exists.
Herein lies the peace of God.
