My thoughts* on Workbook Lesson 287 for October 12, 2024. *WHAT COULD MATTER MORE TO ME THAN KNOWING GOD IS?

You are my goal, my Father. Only You.

* Well, once you FIND HIM He is ALL THERE IS and ‘we’ are a multiple personalities within the Son that FATHER Created to SHARE EXISTENCE WITH HIM.

1. Where would I go but Heaven?

* Indeed, where COULD I BE but in Heaven?

²What could be a substitute for happiness?

* What, except the wonderful multitude of expressions of existence that are His Son BEING AWARE THAT GOD IS THEIR ALL IN ALL, COULD BRING HIM HAPPINESS?

³What gift could I prefer before the peace of God?

* WHAT COULD MATTER MORE TO ME THAN KNOWING GOD IS? THIS IS WHERE THE PEACE OF GOD COMES FROM.

⁴What treasure would I seek and find and keep that can compare with my Identity?

* KNOWING GOD I KNOW MYSELF, NOT AS GOD BUT AS A PART OF HIS SON.

⁵And would I rather live with fear than love?

* FEAR is where the Son resides in his own mind, without God, the Father.

2. You are my goal, my Father.

* My ALL. Y’all can call Him what you want.

²What but You could I desire to have?

* To tell the truth there IS NOTHING ELSE, yet ALL THINGS HAVE EXISTENCE IN HIM.

* And no, that is NOT a RIDDLE, that is a FACT.

³What way but that which leads to You could I desire to walk?

* Believe it or not people think they LIKE PAIN and SUFFERING. It defines their existence. They will eventually have their fill but we may need to keep ourselves in healthy ‘distances’ at least emotionally according to the direction of God by the whisperings of the ‘whole’ Spirit.

⁴And what except the memory of You could signify to me the end of dreams and futile substitutions for the truth?

⁵You are my only goal.

⁶Your Son would be as You created him.

⁷What way but this could I expect to recognize my Self, and be at one with my Identity?

* These are not unreasonable questions when you remember what Jesus tried to teach when he walked in the flesh.

* Today, at 68 years old, the propaganda that covered the message that King James had put together in a claim to stop Jesus’ teaching even while saying that he was doing something else, like ‘taking the teachings to the masses.’
