Week 13, Lessons 82-88, Academy for the workbook of A Course in Miracles, 3/29/25

Class notes:
The true purpose of perceiving a projected world is to help us accept what was denied. What we accept is already accomplished, and our acceptance reminds us of that fact, showing us God's plan is only kind and loving, and most of all-- safe. Ego is a mask. A veil of images, that seems to be outside our mind, but in truth never left our mind.

1 (75) The light has come. ²In choosing salvation rather than attack, I merely choose to recognize what is already here. ☀️[CE W-88.1:1-2]

1 The ego analyzes; the Holy Spirit accepts. ²The appreciation of wholeness comes only through acceptance, for to analyze means to separate out. ³The attempt to understand totality by breaking it up is clearly the characteristically contradictory approach of the ego to everything.
☀️[CE T-11.VI.1:1-3]

3 (62) Forgiveness is my function as the light of the world.

⁴My acceptance does not depend on recognizing what my function is, for I do not yet understand forgiveness. ⁵Yet I will trust that in the light I will see it as it is.
☀️[CE W-81.3]

²I am safe today because there is no will but God’s. ³I can become afraid only when I believe there is another will. ⁴I try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened. ⁵Today I will recognize that all this has not occurred.
☀️[CE W-87.3:2-5]

1 (63) The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness.
²My forgiveness is the means by which the light of the world finds expression through me.
☀️[CE W-82.1:1-2]

²Let peace extend from my mind to yours, [name]. ³I share the light of the world with you, [name].
☀️[CE W-82.2:2-3]

³You stand with me in light, [name].
☀️[CE W-87.2:3]

³The light in you is all that I would see, [name].
☀️[CE W-88.2:3]

³Let me not hold a grievance against you, [name], but offer you the miracle that belongs to you instead.
☀️[CE W-89.2:3]

…grievances are but illusions that hide the miracles beyond them.
[CE W-89.1:4]

3 (68) Love holds no grievances.
²Grievances are completely alien to love. ³Grievances attack love and keep its light obscure. ⁴If I hold grievances I am attacking love, and therefore attacking my Self. ⁵My Self thus becomes alien to me. ⁶I am determined not to attack my Self today, so that I can remember who I am.
☀️[CE W-84.3]

(69.) My grievances hide the light of the world in me.
²My grievances show me what is not there and hide from me what I would see. ³Recognizing this, what do I want my grievances for? ⁴They keep me in darkness and hide the light. ⁵Grievances and light cannot go together, but light and vision must be joined for me to see. ⁶To see, I must lay grievances aside. ⁷I want to see, and this will be the means by which I will succeed.
☀️[CE W-85.1]

3 (72) Holding grievances is an attack on God’s plan for salvation.
²Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that God’s plan for salvation will not work. ³Yet only His plan will work. ⁴By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my only hope of salvation from my awareness. ⁵I would no longer defeat my own best interests in this insane way. ⁶I would accept God’s plan for salvation and be happy.
☀️[CE W-86.2-3]

3 (78) Let miracles replace all grievances.
²By this idea do I unite my will with the Holy Spirit’s, and perceive them as one. ³By this idea do I accept my release from hell. ⁴By this idea do I express my willingness to have all my illusions be replaced with truth, according to God’s plan for my salvation. ⁵I would make no exceptions and no substitutes. ⁶I want all of Heaven and only Heaven, as God wills me to have.
☀️[CE W-89.3]

⁴Ask for them (miracles) whenever a situation arises in which they are called for. ⁵You will recognize these situations.
☀️[CE W-77.7:3-5]

²This is no justification for denying my Self.
☀️[CE W-84.4:2-4]

³The light of the world can shine all this away.
☀️[CE W-85.2:2-5]

I am choosing between misperception and salvation as I look on this.
☀️[CE W-86.4:2-4]

⁴Beyond this is the miracle by which all my grievances are replaced.
☀️[CE W-89.4:2-4]
