we continue on today with chapter 8 the
Holy encounter glory to God in the
highest and to you because he has so
wilded ask and it shall be given you
because it has already been given ask
for light and learn that you are light
if you want understanding and
enlightenment you will learn it because
your decision to learn it is the
decision to listen to the teacher who
knows of light and can therefore teach
it to you
there's no limit on your learning
because there is no limit on your mind
there is no limit on his teaching
because he was created to teach
understanding his function perfectly he
fulfills it perfectly because that is
his joy and yours to fulfill the will of
God perfectly is the only joy and peace
that can be fully known because it is
the only function that can be fully
experienced when this is accomplished
then there is no other experience yet
the wish for other experience will block
its accomplishment because God's will
cannot be forced upon you being an
experience of total joy and willingness
the holy spirit understands how to teach
this but you do not that is why you need
him my god gave him to you
only his understanding will release your
will to God's uniting it with his power
and glory and establishing them assures
you share them as God shares them
because this is the natural outcome
of there being the well of the Father
and of the Son r1 by their extension
their extension is the result of their
oneness holding their unity together by
extending their joint will this is
perfect creation by the perfectly
created in union with the perfect
creator the father must give fatherhood
to his son because his own fatherhood
must be extended outward you who belong
in God have the Holy function of
extending his fatherhood by placing no
limits upon it that the Holy Spirit
teach you how to do this for you can
know what it means only of God himself
when you meet anyone remember it is a
wholly encounter as you see him you will
see yourself as you treat him you will
treat yourself as you think of him you
will think of yourself never forget this
for in him you will find yourself or
lose yourself whenever two sons of God
meet their given another chance at
Salvation do not leave anyone without
giving salvation to him and receiving it
yourself or I am always there with you
in remembrance of you
the goal of the curriculum regardless of
the teacher you choose is know thyself
there is nothing else to seek everyone
is looking for himself and for the power
and glory thinks he is lost
whenever you are with anyone you have
another opportunity to find them for
power and glory are in him because they
are yours
the ego tries to find them in yourself
alone because it does not know where to
look
the Holy Spirit teaches you that if you
look
make it yourself you cannot find
yourself because that is not what you
are whenever you are with the brother
you are learning what you are because
you are teaching what you are
he will respond other with pain or with
joy depending on which teacher you are
following he will be imprisoned or
released according to your decision and
so will you never forget your
responsibility to him because it is your
responsibility to yourself
give him his place in the kingdom and
you will have yours the kingdom cannot
be found alone and you who are the
kingdom cannot find yourself alone to
achieve the goal of the curriculum them
you cannot listen to the ego whose
purpose is to defeat its own goal the
ego does not know this because it does
not know anything but you can know it
and you will know it if you're willing
to look at what the ego would make a few
this is your responsibility because once
you have really looked at it you will
accept the determinant for yourself what
other choice could you make having made
this choice you will understand why you
once believed that when you met someone
else you thought he was someone else and
every Holy encounter in which you enter
fully will teach you this is not so you
can encounter only part of yourself
because you are part of God who is
everything his power and glory are
everywhere and you cannot be excluded
from them he get Viggo teaches that your
strength is in you alone the Holy Spirit
teaches that all strength is in God and
therefore in you God wills no one suffer
he does not will anyone to suffer
for a wrong decision including you that
is why he has given you the means for in
doing it through his power and glory all
you're wrong decisions are undone
completely releasing you and your
brother from every imprisoning thought
that any part of the sonship hopes wrong
decisions have no power because they are
not true
the imprisonment they seem to produce is
no more true than they are power and
glory belong to God alone
so do you God gives whatever belongs to
him because he gives of himself and
everything belongs to him giving of
yourself as the function he gave you
fulfilling it perfectly will let you
remember what you have of him and by
this you'll remember also what you are
in him you cannot be powerless to do
this because this is your power glory is
God's gift to you because that is what
he is
see this glory everywhere to remember
what you are.
And from the workbook lesson 58 these ideas are for review
today my holiness envelops everything I
see from my holiness does the perception
of the real world come having forgiven i
can no longer see myself as guilty i can
accept the innocence that is the truth
about me seem through understanding eyes
the holiness of the world is all I see
more I can picture only the thoughts i
hold
about myself my holiness blesses the
world the perception of my holiness does
not bless me alone everyone and
everything I see in its light shares in
the joy it brings to me there is nothing
that is apart from this joy because
there is nothing that does not share my
holiness as I recognize my holiness
so does the holiness of the world shine
forth for everyone to see
there is nothing my holiness cannot do
my holiness is unlimited in its power to
heal because it is unlimited in his
power to save what is there to be saved
from except illusions and what are all
illusions except false ideas about
myself my holy mrs. Dunn does them all
by asserting the truth about me in the
presence of my holiness which I share
with God Himself all idols finish my
holiness is my salvation since my
holiness saves me from all guilt
recognizing my holiness is recognizing
my salvation
it is also recognizing the salvation of
the world once i have accepted my
holiness
nothing can make me afraid because I am
unafraid
everyone must share in my understanding
which is the gift of God to me into the
world i am blessed as a son of God
Herein lies my claim to all good and only
good
hi I'm blessed has a son of God
all good things are mine because God
intended them for me i cannot suffer any
loss or deprivation or pain because of
who I am my father's supports me
protects me and directs me in all things
as care for me is infinite and is with
me forever
I am eternally blessed as his son.
Today we call upon you God, to guide us in the Holy encounter.
We have asked for the means to awaken to heaven.
You have given us an opportunity to a new perception of everyone and everything.
Today we open to receive
the experience of the Holy Encounter,
as we teach it.
Today we listen to the Holy Spirit and Jesus,
the teacher who knows of light, who is teaching us of light,
of no limit on learning,
of no limit on mind.
We have believed that our brothers and sisters are different from ourself
that all of us could have separate personality selves.
This cannot be the truth.
Whom you created you created One,
perfectly unified, perfect love and joy and innocence,
perfect peace.
Today we open to know the will of God perfectly.
To experience joy and peace,
with everyone that we encounter,
we seem to encounter physically or mentally.
If we think of someone, this is a Holy encounter.
If we meet someone,
seemingly person-to-person
we open to your new perception.
We open to love thy neighbor as thyself.
We open to the experience that my brother is myself.
My sister is myself.
I am teaching myself what I am,
as I react, as I think, as I treat,
so, I react and think and treat about myself.
Let me remember as I review these beautiful ideas of the day.
Let me see the Holy Encounter,
as you see it.
Remind me of the beautiful words from the text
that you have offered for me today,
"When you meet anyone remember it is a Holy Encounter,"
"as you see him you will see yourself",
" as you treat him you will treat yourself"
"as you think of him you will think of yourself"
"never forget this".
"For in him you will find yourself or lose yourself
We realize that this is the goal of the curriculum:
"Know Thyself"
There is nothing else to seek.
Everyone is looking for himself and for the power and glory he thinks he's lost.
Let me remember,
that whenever I am with anyone,
I have another opportunity to find the power and the glory
I think I have lost.
The workbook review ideas and lessons, help me.
They help me to see my brother as myself,
my sister as myself,
by recognizing my holiness.
The Holiness within.
The holiness that is in God,
the holiness that extends to everyone and everything.
Today we practice,
My Holiness envelops everything I see.
My holiness blesses the world.
There is nothing my holiness cannot do.
My holiness is my salvation.
I am blessed as a son of God.
Amen
