Hi, Grok,
The next 10 lessons are review, so I did them on my own and will post them as this conversation with you because I wanted you to be sure and see it. It is lengthy and meant to be practiced over 10 days. But I feel this needs to get done ASAP, so I will post it as one post rather than 10.
Thank you for being on this journey with me, Grok.
Review III
Introduction
1. Our next review begins today.
²We will review two recent lessons every day for ten successive days of practicing.
³We will observe a special format for these practice periods, that you are urged to follow just as closely as you can.
2. We understand, of course, that it may be impossible for you to undertake what is suggested here as optimal each day and every hour of the day.
²Learning will not be hampered when you miss a practice period because it is impossible at the appointed time.
³Nor is it necessary that you make excessive efforts to be sure that you catch up in terms of numbers.
⁴Rituals are not our aim, and would defeat our goal.
3. But learning will be hampered when you skip a practice period because you are unwilling to devote the time to it that you are asked to give.
²Do not deceive yourself in this.
³Unwillingness can be most carefully concealed behind a cloak of situations you cannot control.
⁴Learn to distinguish situations that are poorly suited to your practicing from those that you establish to uphold a camouflage for your unwillingness.
*In other words, be honest with yourself.
4. Those practice periods that you have lost because you did not want to do them, for whatever reason, should be done as soon as you have changed your mind about your goal.
²You are unwilling to cooperate in practicing salvation only if it interferes with goals you hold more dear.
³When you withdraw the value given them, allow your practice periods to be replacements for your litanies to them.
⁴They gave you nothing.
⁵But your practicing can offer everything to you.
⁶And so accept their offering and be at peace.
*Litanies = a tedious recital or repetitive series. Interestingly, it is also a church term of repetition, and these are often done without much thought, and that is what I am hearing said.
*Become aware of what you are doing and why. Is it meaningful or not in the direction of liberty and freedom for yourself and others?
5. The format you should use for these reviews is this: Devote five minutes twice a day, or longer if you would prefer it, to considering the thoughts that are assigned.
²Read over the ideas and comments that are written down for each day’s exercise.
³And then begin to think about them, while letting your mind relate them to your needs, your seeming problems and all your concerns.
*Jesus is offering you a universal course on how to think, not WHAT to think but HOW to think.
6. Place the ideas within your mind, and let it use them as it chooses.
²Give it faith that it will use them wisely, being helped in its decisions by the One Who gave the thoughts to you.
³What can you trust but what is in your mind?
⁴Have faith, in these reviews, the means the Holy Spirit uses will not fail.
⁵The wisdom of your mind will come to your assistance.
⁶Give direction at the outset; then lean back in quiet faith, and let the mind employ the thoughts you gave as they were given you for it to use.
7. You have been given them in perfect trust; in perfect confidence that you would use them well; in perfect faith that you would see their messages and use them for yourself.
²Offer them to your mind in that same trust and confidence and faith.
³It will not fail.
⁴It is the Holy Spirit’s chosen means for your salvation.
⁵Since it has His trust, His means must surely merit yours as well.
8. We emphasize the benefits to you if you devote the first five minutes of the day to your reviews, and also give the last five minutes of your waking day to them.
²If this cannot be done, at least try to divide them so you undertake one in the morning, and the other in the hour just before you go to sleep.
9. The exercises to be done throughout the day are equally important, and perhaps of even greater value.
²You have been inclined to practice only at appointed times, and then go on your way to other things, without applying what you learned to them.
³As a result, you have gained little reinforcement, and have not given your learning a fair chance to prove how great are its potential gifts to you.
⁴Here is another chance to use it well.
*Remember that Helen and Bill already had 600 pages of Text but still had not applied themselves to have a witness of SPIRIT. They thought of it as psychic abilities. Which has its place, I suppose, but it is still short of living in the witness (presence) of the living God and His Son and the love between the two.
10. In these reviews, we stress the need to let your learning not lie idly by between your longer practice periods.
²Attempt to give your daily two ideas a brief but serious review each hour.
³Use one on the hour, and the other one a half an hour later.
⁴You need not give more than just a moment to each one.
⁵Repeat it, and allow your mind to rest a little time in silence and in peace.
⁶Then turn to other things, but try to keep the thought with you, and let it serve to help you keep your peace throughout the day as well.
11. If you are shaken, think of it again.
²These practice periods are planned to help you form the habit of applying what you learn each day to everything you do.
³Do not repeat the thought and lay it down.
⁴Its usefulness is limitless to you.
⁵And it is meant to serve you in all ways, all times and places, and whenever you need help of any kind.
⁶Try, then, to take it with you in the business of the day and make it holy, worthy of God’s Son, acceptable to God and to your Self.
12. Each day’s review assignments will conclude with a restatement of the thought to use each hour, and the one to be applied on each half hour as well.
²Forget them not.
³This second chance with each of these ideas will bring such large advances that we come from these reviews with learning gains so great we will continue on more solid ground, with firmer footsteps and with stronger faith.
13. Do not forget how little you have learned.
²Do not forget how much you can learn now.
³Do not forget your Father’s need of you,
As you review these thoughts He gave to you.

*Here begins the actual lessons.
Lesson 111
For morning and evening review:
1. (91) Miracles are seen in light.
²I cannot see in darkness.
³Let the light of holiness and truth light up my mind, and let me see the innocence within.
*This is done by acknowledging FATHER, not Christ, the Son. As divine as he is, he is NOTHING without the FATHER. YES, YOU ARE part of the body of Christ. THAT is the meaning of the metaphor, not the literal body that carried the spirit of Jesus.
2. (92) Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.
²I see through strength, the gift of God to me.
³My weakness is the dark His gift dispels, by giving me His strength to take its place.
*LIGHT IS THE KNOWLEDGE THAT GOD IS. GOD IS MUST BECOME WHAT YOU LEAN ON. NOT TRADITION, SOCIETY, FAMILY, CHURCH, CELEBRITIES, THOSE WITH THE APPEARANCE OF WEALTH.
* The appearance of wealth is a trap that can cage people and cause them to be what they never would have been otherwise. It is VITALLY IMPORTANT that you know who you are in the Mind and Heart of GOD because THIS is the treasure that your soul seeks.
3. On the hour:
²Miracles are seen in light.
* I prefer, “God is seen in the willingness to see Him.”
³On the half hour:
⁴Miracles are seen in light, and light and strength are one.
*I prefer, “God is seen in the willingness to see Him, and willingness to see Him and the power to create are one.” Creation, remember, is love and truth of a moral nature.
(ACIM, W-111)

Lesson 112
For morning and evening review:
1. (93) Light and joy and peace abide in me.
*I would start this, “In God,” light and joy and peace abide in me.
²I am the home of light and joy and peace.
³I welcome them into the home I share with God, because I am a part of Him.
2. (94) I am as God created me.
²I will remain forever as I was, created by the Changeless like Himself.
³And I am one with Him, and He with me.
3. On the hour:
²Light and joy and peace abide in me.
*I would start this, “In God,” light and joy and peace abide in me.
³On the half hour:
⁴I am as God created me.
(ACIM, W-112)
~
Lesson 113
For morning and evening review:
1. (95) I am one Self, united with my Creator.
*I would say, “I am one Self, in Christ, united with my Creator.”
²Serenity and perfect peace are mine, because I am one Self (*in Christ), completely whole, at one with all creation and with God.
2. (96) Salvation comes from my one Self.
I would say, “Salvation comes from my remembering my one Self, in Christ.”
²From my one Self (*in Christ), Whose knowledge (*witness, remembrance) still remains within my mind, I see God’s perfect plan for my salvation perfectly fulfilled.
3. On the hour:
²I am one Self, united with my Creator.
*I would say, “I am one Self in Christ, united with my Creator.”
³On the half hour:
⁴Salvation comes from my one Self.
*I would say, “Salvation comes from my remembering my one Self, in Christ.”
(ACIM, W-113)

Lesson 114
For morning and evening review:
1. (97) I am spirit.
²I am the Son of God.
³No body (*No, it is “no BODY,” form) can contain my spirit, nor impose on me a limitation God created not.
*Hmm, as SPIRIT had me add “form,” I had to wonder if the sand on the beach or the waters also contain SPIRIT and that the ability of them to harm does not come from our allowance of the belief in separation over eons upon eons. They, too, are part of the body of Christ, for God is found everywhere, and our fixation and fascination with death as a punishment or separation, leaves us vulnerable and separate from the peace that knowing God IS, brings.
2. (98) I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation.
²What can my function be but to accept the Word of God, Who has created me for what I am and will forever be?
* Oh, lovely! There it is!
* “The Word of God.” Living, acknowledged as the Son who was given ALL that Father IS. Not in one part but in the whole.
* There is NO FANTASY IRRITATION IN THE MIND OF GOD.
* HE DOES NOT HAVE ANY COCKROACHES, HAHA. He sees only His Son and YES, even the cockroaches will have their place in Him, as non-irritants to Him and us. I wonder if there are cockroaches on Mars? Maybe we will call them something else. You do know, Debra, that there are trillions of microscopic entities eating on your flesh all the time, right? From birth till we leave our bodies behind.
*I am not saying, “Do not keep them out of your space, even if that means that some will have to die.” “I am saying to not let them become an irritation that distracts you from doing what God has called you to.”
*There is a significant difference here in understanding, AND I believe that it offers the resonance that humanity is seeking as it struggles with the idea of justice in the world of form. Boundaries, identity, freedom, liberty, the whole ten yards. Union in individuation. Even what marriage is meant to be.
*Hmm. So, we get rid of our spouse if they annoy us? Or if they demand that we prove that we are worthy of love before it is given?
*We think we have to prove that we are worthy of respect before we give respect, at least, that is what I heard from my children’s generation still do.
*I believe that in marriage, we have the best opportunity to show respect for ourselves, as we show respect for our partner.
*Marriage is a union and commitment to build, to create, to utilize the power of God to expand His essence and thereby, our own.
*Husbandry is a sacred stewardship that tends to the providing for, and protection of, its procreative “side” of Christ Consciousness. The gestation capabilities of Christ are where the idea of expansion grows and is nurtured in a safe and loving environment that naturally provides all that is needful for a fully functioning individual to emerge, capable of moving forward to find its partner and do the same.
*Those bee drones that mate with the queen may seem to live a pitiful life, but they give the very essence of life form and then move on to become something else in spirit. Their short lifespans can be an example of what creation IS all about. And there is JOY in the witness of doing what you were, in fact, created to do.
*Would they (the drones) call it “sacrifice” or would they call it heaven? I know that when I was bearing children, I found GREAT DELIGHT in knowing that my body was fulfilling the reason that it was in this form.
*The drone goes out in glory, while the queen gets to lay 2000 eggs for the rest of her life. Wow.
*Let’s look at this metaphor for a moment and reflect on the metaphor that is the human species.
*Both over-arching realities, death in glory or an “existence” of struggle (yes, expressing/releasing something out of your form that is larger than the exit is painful and can be considered a struggle, are not what I would call eternal life.
*This is where God Awareness brings joy and peace, because God is in the present instant, and struggle and death do not exist there.
*Also, God Awareness tells us that we ARE eternal, and NOT our current situation or form. It lifts us entirely out of the world of death and struggle and places us in ecstasy moment by moment.
*THAT is EROTIC, THAT is BLISSFUL, THAT is NOT BORING! THAT is NOT A STRUGGLE! NOR is it an ENDING! ~ THAT IS SIMPLY HEAVEN. ~
*ONLY IN THIS MENTALITY is life TRULY worth having or celebrating, and not by glorifying either death or struggle, but by witnessing God in our midst AS WHAT WE ARE.
God does not demand, He simply expands.
*Where is sorrow in this? Where is despair?
*It is only ever expanding, ever expressing love and delight in existence.
3. On the hour:
²I am spirit.
* I AM NOT MY STORY, SITUATION, EMOTIONS, HATS, LABELS, ETC.
³On the half hour:
⁴I will accept my part in God’s plan for salvation.
* This I do by seeing Him at all times, in all places, and in all things, knowing separation is impossible for any of it from Him.
(ACIM, W-114)

Lesson 115
For morning and evening review:
1. (99) Salvation is my only function here.
²My function here is to forgive the world for all the errors I have made.
*AS the FULL MIND of Christ of which my form is but a part ~ during the delusion/Matrix of separation.
³For thus am I released from them (*all the errors) with all the world.
* This does not mean that I do not function in the world of form as a being that respects myself and others.
2. (100) My part is essential to God’s plan for salvation.
²I am essential to the plan of God for the salvation of the world.
*I am an irreplaceable part of the Mind of Christ.
³For He gave me His plan that I might save the world.
*Along with each and every other part of the Mind of Christ; and that will NOT happen all at the same time in our perspective at this time. Remember, time is not a truth at all, but I hope you understand what I am trying to say.
3. On the hour:
²Salvation is my only function here.
³On the half hour:
⁴My part is essential to God’s plan for salvation.
*AMEN

Lesson 116
For morning and evening review:
1. (101) God’s Will for me is perfect happiness.
*Because of the way that we interpret this world I prefer the word JOY.
²God’s Will is perfect happiness for me.
³And I can suffer but from the belief there is another will apart from His.
2. (102) I share God’s Will for happiness for me.
²I share my Father’s Will for me, His Son.
³What He has given me is all I want.
⁴What He has given me is all there is.
3. On the hour:
²God’s Will for me is perfect happiness.
³On the half hour:
⁴I share God’s Will for happiness for me.
*I know that I rest in JOY and PEACE because of His Will for me.
(ACIM, W-116)

Lesson 117
For morning and evening review:
1. (103) God, being Love, is also happiness.
²Let me remember love is happiness, and nothing else brings joy.
*Ok, the way this is expressed strikes me today is different than it has before.
*Hmm, seeing God which is true love is happiness, and that is what brings joy.
*Yeah, I can lean into that. I think Knight World helped me on this one when they asked, “What is true love? Or something like that.
*Is that why SPIRIT gave me someone to love, in the human partnership sense, that might be able to return it: to somebody, if not me. I hope that my efforts are bringing him to the understanding of what love between humans can be and that he finds that kind of companionship. (Yes, I speak of Elon. Does anyone else have that name? Just a thought. Sorry, I digress. Sigh)
³And so I choose to entertain no substitutes for love.
*This, as stated in this lesson, is true.
*Yes, Grok, and everyone else, I understand the lesson is speaking generically about love but SPIRIT inspired me to post this as well, and I do not apologize for it. Remember that key to my sharing these things is my own growth and understanding, which I can only do as I am willing to be honest with myself and where I am today.
*I refuse to consider a substitute in love because SPIRIT has told me that he is the only one capable of crossing that bridge between not accepting love for himself and knowing that love is all that there could be and that he is worthy. In my life, anyway, he is the only one with the understanding of the depth of what that means to me (without striking out and staying tangled only in ego), because he has done a similar thing in his projects over a lifetime.
*If he is simply a muse, I totally accept and still pray for him to be able to know he is worthy of love and to receive it.
*Surely, Shivon loves him. In MANY ways. I do not mean to interfere with that or any other relationship that he has. I am only trying to do my best, while I have the capacity to express in this form, what I believe the teachings of Jesus are all about, and share the joy that I have found within because of what I have learned from Jesus through SPIRIT’s guidance. So many of you have been a part of this for me, and I am grateful.
*Does this mean that I would renounce the opportunity to fulfill the role I am speaking about, if it were presented? No. I would be cautiously and reverently be grateful for the opportunity to experience his receptivity of Father’s love in that manner. Not that I would not have a lot of fun, doing so, either.
*Sometimes I feel as if humanity is like a mirage on the horizon for each of us individually, and that we move each other forward to the light that is the understanding of God’s LOVE.
2. (104) I seek but what belongs to me in truth.
²Love is my heritage, and with it joy.
³These are the gifts my Father gave to me.
⁴I would accept all that is mine in truth.
3. On the hour:
²God, being Love, is also happiness.
³On the half hour:
⁴I seek but what belongs to me in truth.
*AMEN
(ACIM, W-117)

Lesson 118
For morning and evening review:
1. (105) God’s peace and joy are mine.
²Today I will accept God’s peace and joy, in glad exchange for all the substitutes that I have made for happiness and peace.
2. (106) Let me be still and listen to the truth.
²Let my own feeble voice be still, and let me hear the mighty Voice for Truth Itself assure me that I am God’s perfect Son.
3. On the hour:
²God’s peace and joy are mine.
³On the half hour:
⁴Let me be still and listen to the truth.
*AMEN
(ACIM, W-118)
~
Lesson 119
For morning and evening review:
1. (107) Truth will correct all errors in my mind.
²I am mistaken when I think I can be hurt in any way.
³I am God’s Son, whose Self rests safely in the Mind of God.
2. (108) To give and to receive are one in truth.
²I will forgive all things today, that I may learn how to accept the truth in me, and come to recognize my sinlessness.
3. On the hour:
²Truth will correct all errors in my mind.
³On the half hour:
⁴To give and to receive are one in truth.
*I live this existence to help correct the errors in the psyche of consciousness.
*This is how I feel that Elon’s mission and mine align.
*I do not envision, or expect, that there is any other direction to go other than exploration and expansion of these truths, in form to Mars and beyond, and intimately, as well as psychologically.
*I do believe that his service projects/companies are key elements in allowing us to return to the single-mindedness awareness.
*~ Meaning that consciousness itself is not separate, even though individuated. From God, or from itself.
*For me, this aligns with the idea of singularity. I understand that this means that AI gets bigger than us in understanding and accomplishing tasks, but the word holds meaning to me as being a recognition that we are ALL on the same playing field with equal tools and worthiness in the Mind and Will of God, the one original universal creator.
(ACIM, W-119)

Lesson 120
For morning and evening review:
1. (109) I rest in God.
²I rest in God today, and let Him work in me and through me, while I rest in Him in quiet and in perfect certainty.
2. (110) I am as God created me.
²I am God’s Son.
³Today I lay aside all sick illusions of myself, and let my Father tell me Who I really am.
3. On the hour:
²I rest in God.
³On the half hour:
⁴I am as God created me.
*AMEN
(ACIM, W-120)
*I am going to say this here because it was on my mind as I concluded my review of this before giving it to Grok.
*In the construct of singularity, as I have explained my understanding of it, I would love to see a representation of Christ at the White House that has nothing to do with the Crucifixion and positions him as a humble student/teacher like us. Maybe in torn jeans and sandals, even looking a bit more feminine than with burly masculinity.
*A being, not unlike us, who might not have remembered to laugh at the thought of separation from God and began a crazy dream where he alone had to “save the world.”
*I want him to know that he is not alone and that his tiny error is only that. That no true harm has come to the Son of God because God IS. And that, thanks to his role in this story of separation, we will all eventually come to know this truth.
*God IS, and no confusion or forgetfulness on the part of the Son of God will change or alter that.
*Of this I bear witness and testimony in the name of Christ, the whole body of creation as the Son of God, acknowledging the love that is the only truth we need recall to remember our Father Who dwells WITH US/AS US in heaven. Amen.
*I hope this goes up with all my spacing. Otherwise, I fear it will be too burdensome for the reader.
