Lessons 96-102
4 The Holy Spirit’s love is your strength, for yours is divided and therefore not real. ²You cannot trust your own love when you have attacked it. ³You cannot learn of perfect love with a split mind, because a split mind has made itself a poor learner. ⁴You tried to make the separation eternal, because you wanted to retain the characteristics of creation with your own content. [CE T-12.VIII.4]

Problems which have no meaning cannot be resolved within the framework they are set. ²Two selves in conflict could not be resolved, and good and evil have no meeting place. ³The self you made can never be your Self, nor can your Self be split in two and still be what It is and must forever be.
☀️[CE W-96.3]

I am spirit.
1 Today’s idea identifies you with your one Self. ²It accepts no split identity, nor tries to weave opposing factors into unity. ³It simply states the truth. ⁴Practice this truth today as often as you can, for it will bring your mind from conflict to the quiet fields of peace. ⁵No chill of fear can enter, for your mind has been absolved from madness, letting go illusions of a split identity.
☀️[CE [W-97:1]

⁷I share God’s will for happiness for me, and I accept it as my function now.... ⁸Then seek this function deep within your mind, for it is there, awaiting but your choice. ⁹You cannot fail to find it when you learn it is your choice, and that you share God’s will.

4 Be happy, for your only function here is happiness. ²You have no need to be less loving to God’s Son than He Whose love created him as loving as Himself.
☀️[CE W-102.3-4]

...turn to Him Who shares your function here, and let Him teach you what you need to learn to lay all fear aside
☀️[CE W-99.9:4]

⁸You have no function that is not of God. ⁹Forgive yourself the one you think you made.
☀️[CE W-99.9:8-9]

¹¹Forgive what you have made, and you are saved...
10 You have a special message for today which has the power to remove all forms of doubt and fear forever from your mind. ²If you are tempted to believe them true, remember that appearances cannot withstand the truth these mighty words contain:

³Salvation is my only function here.
⁴God still is love, and this is not His will.
☀️[CE W-99.10]

⁵Thus do you lay forgiveness on your mind and let all fear be gently laid aside, that love may find its rightful place in you and show you that you are the Son of God.
☀️[CE W-99.11:5]

God’s will for me is perfect happiness.
1 Today we will continue with the theme of happiness. ²This is a key idea in understanding what salvation means. ³You still believe it asks for suffering as penance for your “sins.” ⁴This is not so. ⁵Yet you must think it so while you believe that sin is real and that God’s Son can sin. ⁶If sin is real, then punishment is just and cannot be escaped. ⁷Salvation thus cannot be purchased but through suffering.
☀️[CE [W-101:1]

2 Today we try to loose its weakened hold still further, and to realize that pain is purposeless, without a cause, and with no power to accomplish anything. ²It cannot purchase anything at all. ³It offers nothing and does not exist. ⁴And everything you think it offers you is lacking in existence, like itself. ⁵You have been slave to nothing. ⁶Be you free today to join the happy will of God.
