My thoughts* on A Course in Miracles Workbook Lesson 107, Truth Will Correct All Errors in My Mind

Truth will correct all errors in my mind.

* FATHER WILL CORRECT ALL ERRORS IN MY MIND.

1. What can correct illusions but the truth?

²And what are errors but illusions that remain unrecognized for what they are?

³Where truth has entered errors disappear.

⁴They merely vanish, leaving not a trace by which to be remembered.

⁵They are gone because, without belief, they have no life.

⁶And so they disappear to nothingness, returning whence they came.

⁷From dust to dust they come and go, for only truth remains.

* This is true, but while you live among those who believe the illusions are real you will see the illusion through the Eyes of FATHER with SPIRIT’s Assistance.

2. Can you imagine what a state of mind without illusions is?

* There is a place within you that can experience that now.

²How it would feel?

³Try to remember when there was a time,—perhaps a minute, maybe even less—when nothing came to interrupt your peace; when you were certain you were loved and safe.

⁴Then try to picture what it would be like to have that moment be extended to the end of time and to eternity.

* This is where I live. Its reality and witness grow in my heart and mind all the time. And there are moments when temptation suggests that I be afraid, but they are removed when I remember Father Walks in me and Guides me through the promptings of SPIRIT.

⁵Then let the sense of quiet that you felt be multiplied a hundred times, and then be multiplied another hundred more.

3. And now you have a hint, not more than just the faintest intimation of the state your mind will rest in when the truth has come.

* I have to say that SPIRIT is going to take you gently into greater understanding. It is not going to be “upon you all at once” as these feel like they could be suggesting. Father knows where you are emotionally, intellectually, and spiritually RIGHT NOW and HE WILL Reveal HYMNSELF accordingly.

* Make no mistake that you can have the undoing of separation, that is YOUR ROLE, given to you right now and you can feel the peace, happiness, and joy that lasts because GOD is finally seen as REAL WITHIN YOU AND ALL THAT IS. You only have to release what is false by forgiving the original error that brought us this multitude of circumstances that appear to prove separation.

²Without illusions there could be no fear, no doubt and no attack.

³When truth has come all pain is over, for there is no room for transitory thoughts and dead ideas to linger in your mind.

* You will have the illusion of discomfort in all kinds of ways but you will know they are not real and that GOD IS.

⁴Truth occupies your mind completely, liberating you from all beliefs in the ephemeral.

* Ephemeral means that which lasts a very short time.

⁵They have no place because the truth has come, and they are nowhere.

⁶They can not be found, for truth is everywhere forever, now.

4. When truth has come it does not stay a while, to disappear or change to something else.

²It does not shift and alter in its form, nor come and go and go and come again.

³It stays exactly as it always was, to be depended on in every need, and trusted with a perfect trust in all the seeming difficulties and the doubts that the appearances the world presents engender.

⁴They will merely blow away, when truth corrects the errors in your mind.

* FATHER Will be doing this for you as you pay attention to HIS Teaching through SPIRIT.

5. When truth has come it harbors in its wings the gift of perfect constancy, and love which does not falter in the face of pain, but looks beyond it, steadily and sure.

²Here is the gift of healing, for the truth needs no defense, and therefore no attack is possible.

³Illusions can be brought to truth to be corrected.

⁴But the truth stands far beyond illusions, and can not be brought to them to turn them into truth.

6. Truth does not come and go nor shift nor change, in this appearance now and then in that, evading capture and escaping grasp.

²It does not hide.

³It stands in open light, in obvious accessibility.

* Bear in mind that we have spent eons talking ourselves out of seeing the truth, so it may fade in and out for a while. This does not mean that you are not doing your part or have not accepted the Atonement.

⁴It is impossible that anyone could seek it truly, and would not succeed.

⁵Today belongs to truth.

⁶Give truth its due, and it will give you yours.

⁷You were not meant to suffer and to die.

* Believe this.

⁸Your Father wills these dreams be gone.

⁹Let truth correct them all.

* THAT TRUTH IS THE FACT THAT GOD IS.

7. We do not ask for what we do not have.

²We merely ask for what belongs to us, that we may recognize it as our own.

³Today we practice on the happy note of certainty that has been born of truth.

⁴The shaky and unsteady footsteps of illusion are not our approach today.

⁵We are as certain of success as we are sure we live and hope and breathe and think.

⁶We do not doubt we walk with truth today, and count on it to enter into all the exercises that we do this day.

8. Begin by asking Him Who goes with you upon this undertaking that He be in your awareness as you go with Him.

* Begin by asking Him (*the other people you see) Who (*I suspect the proper pronouns are given here because they are thinking “Christ”) goes with you upon this undertaking that He (*Christ) be in your awareness as you go with Him (*another part of Christ because you are also a part of Christ).

²You are not made of flesh and blood and bone, but were created by the selfsame Thought which gave the gift of life to Him as well.

* THIS statement is one that causes me to think that it is only JESUS that needs to be forgiven because it was JESUS who initially forgot to laugh at the idea that the Son could be separated from Father. The “Soul of Jesus” would have been the first Thought to have come out of Christ to manifest in the dream state.

* We ARE all parts of that same “Soul” as Jesus, but it would not include the Whole of Christ because FATHER had PREPARED THE ATONEMENT, OR “UNDOING” OF ERROR, BEFORE IT EVER OCCURRED.

* To think of it this way in the typical human mind at this time is confusing and the simplified and clearest way to think of what is trying to be expressed here is that GOD is Who goes with you. And, yes, you want HYMN to be in your awareness. In other words, you need to be aware of FATHER ALL THE TIME.

* “were created by the selfsame Thought which gave the gift of life to Him as well.”

* That “selfsame Thought” then, is FATHER’s Thought which is His Son, Christ, Who is ALL THAT IS OR EVER COULD BE.

³He is your Brother, and so like to you your Father knows that You are both the same.

* THIS is true.

⁴It is your Self you ask to go with you, and how could He be absent where you are?

* BUT IF YOU DO NOT THINK GOD GOES WITH YOU, THROUGH YOU, AND AS YOU FIRST AND FOREMOST, YOU WILL MISS THE PICTURE AND LIFT CHRIST UP ONTO A PEDASTAL UPON WHICH HE DOES NOT BELONG.

* IT IS GOD, THE ONE ORIGINAL UNIVERSAL CREATOR THAT WE SHOULD LOOK UP TO ALL ELSE/OTHERS ARE EQUAL BEFORE FATHER.

9. Truth will correct all errors in your mind which tell you you could be apart from Him.

* I understand that the editors and scribes of this work are referring to Christ, but if you take it as such you are missing out on the ONLY THING THAT UNITES US AND THAT IS OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH FATHER.

²You speak to Him today, and make your pledge to let His function be fulfilled through you.

³To share His function is to share His joy.

⁴His confidence is with you, as you say:

⁵Truth will correct all errors in my mind, and I will rest in Him Who is my Self.

⁶Then let Him lead you gently to the truth, which will envelop you and give you peace so deep and tranquil that you will return to the familiar world reluctantly.

10. And yet you will be glad to look again upon this world.

²For you will bring with you the promise of the changes which the truth that goes with you will carry to the world.

³They will increase with every gift you give of five small minutes, and the errors that surround the world will be corrected as you let them be corrected in your mind.

11. Do not forget your function for today.

²Each time you tell yourself with confidence, “Truth will correct all errors in my mind,” you speak for all the world and Him Who would release the world, as He would set you free.

* CHRIST DOES NOT, NOT, NOT SET YOU FREE, OTHER THAN WITHIN THE ILLUSION THROUGH FORGIVENESS OF THE BELIEF OF SEPARATION AND ITS CONSEQUENCES.

* IT IS THE WITNESS OF GOD’S REALITY THAT SETS YOU FREE TO UNDERSTAND THE “NEED TO BE SET FREE” ITSELF WAS FALSE BECAUSE ONLY GOD IS. PERIOD.

(ACIM, W-107.1:1–11:2)

To Father be ALL Glory and Praise Given AS His Son, debi.
