My thoughts* on Workbook Lesson 322 for November 16, 2024. I Can Give Up But What Was Never Real

I can give up but what was never real.

* I cannot justify or make excuses any longer for the world that has no reason, logic, or equality.

1. I sacrifice illusions; nothing more.

* Illusions that testify of the guilt the Son of God believes he has acquired in separating from Father.

²And as illusions go I find the gifts illusions tried to hide, awaiting me in shining welcome, and in readiness to give God’s ancient messages to me.

* I feel Father’s affection and approval of me and for all of His Son.

³His memory abides in every gift that I receive of Him.

⁴And every dream serves only to conceal the Self which is God’s only Son, the likeness of Himself, the Holy One Who still abides in Him forever, as He still abides in me.

2. Father, to You all sacrifice remains forever inconceivable.

²And so I cannot sacrifice except in dreams.

³As You created me, I can give up nothing You gave me.

⁴What You did not give has no reality.

⁵What loss can I anticipate except the loss of fear, and the return of love into my mind?
