My thoughts* on Workbook Lesson 309 for November 3, 2024. I will not fear to look within today.

I will not fear to look within today.

* Within is where God resides and the Whole of Christ. Together they make up the Voice of God through SPIRIT which is NOT your intellect or your gut or instinct but the Whole of All That Is, a part of what YOU ARE.

* That is not to say that your instinct or gut feelings are not a part of the Whole but that the WHOLE is a VOICE UNTO itself and I suspect is who we truly are.

1. Within me is eternal innocence, because it is God’s Will that it be there forever and forever.

* Yes, and so it is for each of us.

* “Eternal innocence” but that does not mean that we do not make mistakes.

²I, His Son, whose will is limitless as is His Own, can will no change in this.

* We CANNOT alter our innocence. ~ Nor change the fact that we make mistakes.

* When “time” as we currently understand it is let go of by the whole of Christ Consciousness perhaps mistakes will not be made but somehow I do not think that will be the case. What is important is that God be recognized NOT ONLY the Son, as has been the case for eons.

³For to deny my Father’s Will is to deny my own.

* That which appears to be otherwise is what SPIRIT leads us out of once we have accepted the initial Atonement.

* As I think about it I would say that in Christianity “baptism” was devised to take the place of Atonement in the true teachings of Jesus. Because baptism represents taking on a new life dedicated to God and witness that Christ (or all that is) is the Son of God. Do you see how they took out “all that is” and replaced it with one “BODY or FORM” in JESUS and made him a pseudo representation of the Son of God to DENY YOU YOUR BIRTHRIGHT GIVEN BY YOUR CREATOR?

* You can take that BIRTHRIGHT BACK because YOU HAVE NEVER LOST IT. The Original, Universal Creator, God, and Father saw to that in your creation.

* It is pretty creepy, but the truth is that BAPTISM itself is a lie UNLESS it is GIVEN LIFE IN THE ATONEMENT WHERE Father, Son, and SPIRIT are seen as ALL THAT IS OR EVER COULD BE.

⁴To look within is but to find my will as God created it, and as it is.

⁵I fear to look within because I think I made another will that is not true, and made it real.

⁶Yet it has no effects.

⁷Within me is the Holiness of God.

⁸Within me is the memory of Him.

* That “other will” that we think we have made is embodied in that which BELIEVES ITSELF SEPARATE FROM ~ ANYTHING ~ ELSE.

* ANYTHING. We ARE a UNIVERSAL WHOLE ENTITY and we will be TAUGHT BY SPIRIT TO UNDERSTAND WHAT THIS MEANS TO US INDIVIDUALLY AND UNIVERSALLY ~ AND ~ HOW TO MANIFEST THAT IN FORM AND EVERYDAY EXISTENCE THEREIN.

2. The step I take today, my Father, is my sure release from idle dreams of sin.

* Only the True Forgiveness of the Atonement does this because it assures you what is REAL and what is NOT.

²Your altar stands serene and undefiled.

³It is the holy altar to my Self, and there I find my true Identity.
