My thoughts* on Workbook Lesson 227, for August 14, 2024. One Holy Instant at a Time.

This is my holy instant of release.

* One Holy Instant at a Time.

1. Father, it is today that I am free, because my will is Yours.

²I thought to make another will.

³Yet nothing that I thought apart from You exists.

* THIS is the definition of ~ “nothing in the world is real” ~ IT HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH FORM and EVERYTHING TO DO WITH God being THE EYES THROUGH WHICH YOU SEE and EXIST.

* With GOD ALL things exist in PERFECTION and INNOCENCE. This was undermined in the 1600’s according to the documents that I am currently studying.

⁴And I am free because I was mistaken, and did not affect my own reality at all by my illusions.

* Read that again and understand that our illusions about ourselves DO NOT alter who we are as the Son of God.

⁵Now I give them up, and lay them down before the feet of truth, to be removed forever from my mind.

* Do not think that you have to put a time table on when that will happen.

* You are currently a witness of God’s Existence and Love for His Son within the world of confusion.

* We ARE then able to see them as UNREAL regardless of how they present themselves to us.

⁶This is my holy instant of release.

⁷Father, I know my will is one with Yours.

* Wow, that still seems difficult to say in the sense that it ASSUMES that I know the Mind and Will of God BEFOREHAND. WHAT you want to REMEMBER is that THERE IS NO YOU OUTSIDE OF GOD. Pretty cool, huh?

2. And so today we find our glad return to Heaven, which we never really left.

* This is where I live. It can be challenging because others do not want to be there with me. That is NOT for me to worry about. It is up to me to take care of me.

²The Son of God this day lays down his dreams.

³The Son of God this day comes home again, released from sin and clad in holiness, with his right mind restored to him at last.

* Yes, and I would not “trade it for the world,” nor can I expect others to be there before they are ready to. I simply bear witness within myself that God Exists and because of that they do too!
