here's a little catchup on some of the gems from lessons 72 to 100

*

receive miracles .. offer miracles .. miracles are everywhere

*

select a person u had used as a target for grievances .. what lay hidden when u saw him not ? .. free him to take the holy role .. let him be savior unto u today

i ask that i may look upon u differently today and behold my savior shining in the light of true forgiveness .. that i may join with u .. that u would be free and make your freedom mine

*

allow each one u meet to save u .. refuse to hide his light behind a grievance .. let miracles replace all grievances .. the love in one of us is the love in all of us

*

let this help me learn what forgiveness is

*

grievances attack love .. i will not use this to attack love

*

i share the light of the world with u

*

suggestions on what to tell someone silently when u are tempted to react in an undesirable way: 

u stand with me in the light

u are one self with me

joy and peace abide in u

*

u are the self that never left its home .. that knows no fear or loss or suffering or death

*

u are at one with every aspect of creation .. with the goal of bringing awareness of oneness to all minds .. do not forget your little part today .. heaven looks to u in confidence that u will try today

each time u do so, someone hears the stirring of the truth within his mind, the gentle rustling of the wings of peace

they will see their function in your shining face and hear god calling to them in your happy laugh .. all laughter can but echo yours

*

look deep within .. what could u rather look upon in place of him who waits that u may look on him ? he who calls u is god himself .. u are his messenger today

and u must find what he would have u give

notes from lessons 128-141

here's a catch-up on a course in miracles to lesson 168:

the peace of god belongs to everyone .. everyone is created out of love

who denies his brother is denying god .. one brother is all brothers .. every mind contains all minds .. for ever mind is one

each brother whom u meet today provides another chance to see with the eyes of christ .. see the miracles in your life and give what u have been given

he who sees a brother as a body and poises to attack .. howls to unite with him again

behold in him .. one whom heaven cherishes .. and the angels love .. his loveliness reflected in a form so holy and so beautiful that u could scarcely refrain from kneeling at his feet

u are like him .. his hands are yours

would u request that love destroy itself ? or would u have it be revealed to u and set u free ?

what u are seeing is the one who can forgive u .. whose hands can lift the crown of thorns which u have placed upon your bleeding head

behold him now .. who u have seen as merely flesh and bone .. and recognize that christ has come to u

and so u lay the gift of snow white lilies on the world .. thru your transfiguration is the world joyfully released

the love and strength and peace that shines from u to your brothers comes from god

many gifts spring to your sight and leap into your hands as u recognize what u have received

all living things recognize the light in u as their own .. they see in you their own holiness

and who would not be brother to u now ? who could fail to welcome u into his heart with loving invitation ?

today u offer the freedom given u .. today the world is blessed for u have recognized how heaven casts its timeless love

and u are taken over the bridge between the worlds .. to the light that shines beyond the things that seem solid

here the door is never locked .. here no one is denied .. here no one is a stranger .. all is laid here already

god makes no attempt to hide from u .. god remains entirely accessible .. his grace is yours by your acknowledgement

the mind dreams of time .. an interval in which what seems to happen never occurred

the changes wrought are substanceless and all events are nowhere

this moment we play our happy game upon this earth .. we undertake a journey that is over

time for a catchup on notes
from a course in miracles

here from days 169-217 :

fear and love do not dwell in the same place .. so we have a choice to make

a miracle is a shift in perception from fear to love ..

for what could be more foolish than to seek and seek and seek again for hell .. when u have but to look with open eyes .. to find that heaven lies before u through a door that opens easily to welcome u ?

it is not the circumstances around us but rather the love in our hearts that brings us the peace we yearn for .. the peace whose soft embrace surrounds our hearts and minds .. as god's blessing shines upon us from within .. which is where he abides

free of the chains that bind us .. we fear not the world .. and hear the call to waken

we are still for an instant and go home .. now is there stillness where before there was a frantic rush of thoughts that made no sense

the son of god has merely disappeared into his father as his father has in him .. now we rest in him .. now our voice belongs to him and echoes out thru him

life is an infinite expanse of energy .. a continuum of love in countless dimensions .. our love for everyone we look upon ..a love more powerful than anything the world can contain

this love both our ultimate reality and our way back home .. this love our remembrance of the holy self

our oneness with others is the true experience of god

peace is union .. earth and heaven are joined .. as we breathe the holy air that fills our father's house

*

to call upon god's name is to but call upon our own .. to call upon our self whose name is his

saying his name invites the angels to surround the ground on which we stand and to sing to us as they spread out their wings to keep us safe

in saying his name do we give an invitation which can never be refused . in saying his name is release given unto us

the universe consists of nothing but u .. the son of god .. calling upon your father

with the name of god upon our lips we look within and see the purity of heaven shining in the reflection of our father's love

now are we blessed and now we bless the world

this light cannot be lost .. shining in our hearts .. extending around the world .. pausing to caress each living thing

we can feel .. touch .. smell.. see .. god in the flowers and in the snow

we see the world anew .. and god will do his part .. we choose to let him come .. and his love blazes its pathway of itself

god we ask but that your will .. which is our own .. be done in us and in the world

*

we are the love of god .. death has no meaning .. we are unlimited forever .. beyond the laws of time and space, unbound ..

we are not an ego .. not a body .. the ego holds the body dear because it dwells in it

it is but a vehicle .. perfect in its ability to serve .. a most worthy servant

nothing external can hurt or injure us .. god never left .. we radiate in holy joy .. each breath and every step taken in gratitude

we thank our father for one thing alone .. that we are separate from no living thing and therefore one with him .. we give thanks for every living thing .. we recognize the gifts of god

we see all the wonderful ways in which we can be grateful

and god thanks u .. his son .. for being what u are .. and the world thanks u .. for its release mirrors yours

no one can hide forever from a truth so very obvious that it appears in countless forms

* * *

and the recurring theme of forgiveness continues thru out the course :

we remove our focus from our brothers' sins .. our hearts willing to bring our weary brothers to rest

"it is not this that i would look upon"

who could be set free while he imprisons anyone ? for their sins are witnesses to sins in us

"it can be but myself i crucify"

we rejoice at how very easily is hell undone . we lay down the cruel sword of judgment that we had held against our own throats

thus does each one who seems to tempt us to be angry .. represent release from the prison .. and so we owe him thanks instead of pain

whatever we think about someone else we feel .. they are our thoughts about ourselves

"no one but is my brother"

we are blessed with oneness with the universe and god

how deeply we are loved .. god u have given your love to me and i will never leave u
