* It is Father and HE NEVER actually left.
1. The light has come.
²You are healed and you can heal.
* I work in the realm of the psyche and trust this statement.
³The light has come.
⁴You are saved and you can save.
⁵You are at peace, and you bring peace with you wherever you go.
⁶Darkness and turmoil and death have disappeared.
* They have disappeared from what you consider reality.
⁷The light has come.
2. Today we celebrate the happy ending to your long dream of disaster.
²There are no dark dreams now.
* But you WILL SEE the situations that humanity believes it has manifested through its belief in separation both near and far.
³The light has come.
⁴Today the time of light begins for you and everyone.
⁵It is a new era, in which a new world is born.
* TRUE. IMAGINE, YOUR AWAKENING TO GOD DOES THIS.
⁶The old one has left no trace upon it in its passing.
⁷Today we see a different world, because the light has come.
* We SEE THE WORLD DIFFERENTLY BECAUSE WE SEE THE CREATOR AMIDST THE CREATION.
3. Our exercises for today will be happy ones, in which we offer thanks for the passing of the old and the beginning of the new.
* Shadows will be here because we see the confusion, but we MAY also see them corrected.
²No shadows from the past remain to darken our sight and hide the world forgiveness offers us.
³Today we will accept the new world as what we want to see.
⁴We will be given what we desire.
⁵We will to see the light; the light has come.
* “If it were up to me, it would be peace I see, all around the world.” Abundance, Health, Safety, Joy, there will be nothing that we cannot manifest in a world that knows GOD IS.
4. Our longer practice periods will be devoted to looking at the world that our forgiveness shows us.
²This is what we want to see, and only this.
* Okay, I will grant you that time frame, but do not think you will not see the ego’s confusion and trickery because we are here to raise the Consciousness out of these thoughts of despair, and we do so BEST by remaining in the BODY and knowing the TRUTH that GOD IS. Having gained understanding in spirit alone does a great deal, I have no doubt, but staying here in the flesh WITH that understanding is HUGE. ~ I did not say EASY, I said HUGE.
³Our single purpose makes our goal inevitable.
⁴Today the real world rises before us in gladness, to be seen at last.
⁵Sight is given us, now that the light has come.
5. We do not want to see the ego’s shadow on the world today.
²We see the light, and in it we see Heaven’s reflection lie across the world.
³Begin the longer practice periods by telling yourself the glad tidings of your release:
⁴The light has come.
⁵I have forgiven the world.
* Understand what these two phrases mean.
* FATHER IS SEEN; the LIGHT HAS COME.
* THE BELIEF IN SEPARATION FROM GOD/SOURCE/FATHER is rejected and the warmth of HIS REALITY IS ALLOWED TO PERMEATE YOUR CONSCIOUSNESS ACCORDING TO THE WITNESS OF SPIRIT WHO KNOWS HOW MUCH YOU CAN HANDLE AT A TIME. He Guides us gently and while the road can still be “rocky” it is not a “ripping apart” like the learning of the world of illusion can be.
6. Dwell not upon the past today.
²Keep a completely open mind, washed of all past ideas and clean of every concept you have made.
³You have forgiven the world today.
⁴You can look upon it now as if you never saw it before.
* We look on one another beyond our history. We know the history and we have HEALTHY BOUNDARIES but we see the SHARD or piece OF THE SON OF GOD IN EVERYONE.
⁵You do not know yet what it looks like.
⁶You merely wait to have it shown to you.
⁷While you wait, repeat several times, slowly and in complete patience:
⁸The light has come.
⁹I have forgiven the world.
7. Realize that your forgiveness entitles you to vision.
* ENTITLES, hmm, not sure that I feel good about that but it is in fact your right as a part of the Son of God to have VISION through the eyes of God. At least, to the extent that you can handle it at this time.
* THAT is what we allow to come to us when we forgive the world ~ ACTUALLY we are forgiving “THE ORIGINAL IDEA OF SEPARATION” and “THE PART OF THE SONSHIP THAT IT CAME FROM” ~ which would be Jesus, dear ones.
* Forgiving him and his error releases this ideology that we have created around him alone as having the ESSENCE OF GOD WITHIN HYMN. We are EACH A PART OF THE LIGHT THAT EMBODIES CHRIST.
²Understand that the Holy Spirit never fails to give the gift of sight to the forgiving.
³Believe He will not fail you now.
⁴You have forgiven the world.
* The world! The WHOLE ILLUSION!
⁵He will be with you as you watch and wait.
⁶He will show you what true vision sees.
⁷It is His Will, and you have joined with Him.
⁸Wait patiently for Him.
⁹He will be there.
¹⁰The light has come.
¹¹You have forgiven the world.
8. Tell Him you know you cannot fail because you trust in Him.
²And tell yourself you wait in certainty to look upon the world He promised you.
³From this time forth you will see differently.
⁴Today the light has come.
⁵And you will see the world that has been promised you since time began, and in which is the end of time ensured.
* I LIVE THERE NOW. Or rather, IT LIVES WITHIN ME.
9. The shorter practice periods, too, will be joyful reminders of your release.
²Remind yourself every quarter of an hour or so that today is a time for special celebration.
³Give thanks for mercy and the Love of God.
⁴Rejoice in the power of forgiveness to heal your sight completely.
⁵Be confident that on this day there is a new beginning.
⁶Without the darkness of the past upon your eyes, you cannot fail to see today.
* In other words, contrary to what is so popularly proclaimed today you DO NOT need contrast or darkness to see the LIGHT. STRUGGLE IS NOT A requirement of existence. No wonder we are not willing to accept God’s Existence!
⁷And what you see will be so welcome that you will gladly extend today forever.
10. Say, then:
²The light has come.
³I have forgiven the world.
* It would be better understood if it read, I have done MY PART in forgiving the WORLD.
⁴Should you be tempted, say to anyone who seems to pull you back into darkness:
⁵The light has come.
⁶I have forgiven you.
11. We dedicate this day to the serenity in which God would have you be.
²Keep it in your awareness of yourself and see it everywhere today, as we celebrate the beginning of your vision and the sight of the real world, which has come to replace the unforgiven world you thought was real.
* There is a real world that Father is waiting to show us.
(ACIM, W-75.1:1–11:2)
To Father be ALL Glory and Praise Given AS His Son, debi.
