THE GIFTS OF GOD — Sondra Ray and Markus Ray on A Course in Miracles

In this Section THE SELF-ACCUSED, it is to realize that all attack on our brother is really the hatred we have of ourself. All attack is self-attack.

We never hate our brother for his sins, but for our own guilt and self-condemnation.

WALKING WITH CHRIST transcends the notion of "leaders and followers." When we "walk with the Christ" we are committing ourselves to complete forgiveness, of ourselves and others. We walk hand in hand with the Chrsit in this mission.

There is no greater honor than to be the student. The "teacher" is just the best "student" of the truth. Christ is that perfect student who has brought His God Created Self to the forefront, thoroughly. We walk with Him as students of a Course in Miracles.

The SIMPLICITY OF SALVATION is in seeing the truth is that we are totally INNOCENT as God Created US, no matter what mistakes in life we may have made. GUILT is unfounded. We are the Holy Son and Dauther of God in this absolute Innocence.

Only a "false self" could think the thoughts of separatoipn and guilt. This false self is non-existent in Truth. Only in illusions could we be deceived in thinking the ego is real. It is time that we see the simplicity of salvation is in accepting our Self clearly as God created us to be, in a state of Love, Peace and Joy.

CHANGELESS REALITY is the fact that your are the Holy Son or Dsughter of God. This is your IDENTITY. Nowhere in your true Mind is there anything but Holiness. And the nature of Holiness is Peace and Joy.

Why would we want to know anything but this? This Changeless Reality is always there, whether we are aware of it or not. Why not be aware of it, and embrace our true Peace and Joy?

THE NEW INTERPRETATION is to translate all thoughts of attack to ones of innocence and forgiveness. What if what we thought someone "did to us" never really occurred? The source of our upset was a "thought" we maintained that was not true, but neverthelesss attracted a unpleasant and painful experience to us.

We are never a victim of our thoughts, especially when we take respoonsibility for them and our results. We can change our thoughts that hurt us. We can look upon the "happy dream" of the Real World now, with Christ's Vision.

THE JUSTIFICATION FOR FORGIVENESS is merely to see that what we thought "occurred" that made us upset was not the real thing that made us upset, and the thing that made us upset was a thought that was not true anyway, therefore not really there. 

FORGIVENESS helps us to let go of illusions. It does not "forgive" the Truth (which is your right to Peace and JOY), it forgives illusions of upset that you projected that are not really there. (Even though they seem so "real.”) 

THE ONLY PURPOSE of the real world is a state of mind in perfect forgiveness. Forgiveness is the only gift we give, and it is our only function as the "light of the world."

This PODCAST makes it very clear.

THE TRUTH BEHIND ILLUSIONS is that we are fooled by the idols of the world to complete us, but we are already complete and whole. Therefore, the idols never satisfy us. We merely need to see the pursuits we had were illusions.

The Truth cannot be made more whole than it already is. Our truth is intact, and idols are not necessary.

BEYOND ALL IDOLS, we have a conniction to our Divine Source. This is better than any "idols" we have made to bring us "completion." We already are whole and complete. To seek for that which will perfect us is a projection of a "gap" that is not there.

Giving up the idols that were born out of the illusion of "separation" is our only rel "work" to do. Then we are no longer deceived in seeking to perfect our Self , which is already perfect and whole.

The Freedom of our Will is to know that it is One with God's Will, and that this is our supreme JOY to realize. There is no other Will that God would have us keep.

His Will for us is Perfect Happiness, and therfore our Happiness must also be His will. When we want only that, and we leave behind the false wishes that we made as an alternative to our true Will, then we will have all the power we need to manifest anything consitent with this one Will.
