Lesson 238:

On my decision all salvation rests…

It’s not personal. That’s the design. God placed his plan for salvation from the dream of separation, where it could not be lost, within the Self…

For the longest time I just couldn’t get that. Much of my so-called life and its spiritual journey have been fraught with unworthiness. I judged myself as a person, while God saw me as His Son.

Through accepting the Atonement for myself, I began to see that the way God, the Father, saw me; perfect, sinless, and worthy, could be my only identity, for I could not be apart from Him, and be... This, by reason, tells me that I cannot be apart from you in any way and remember who I am… for we are one…

Vision or judgment is my choice, but never both…

So, therefore, it is essential that I move beyond the personhood concept, to see you as my brother, which is to say, to see that you and I are one; every decision I make effects the whole. The happy news is that by deciding for the Atonement for myself, the Holy Spirit within my mind opens the vision of brotherhood instead of personhood, for me. And here, is where salvation rests. Here, the simplicity of a single purpose can be seen. And the holy, verses the special, relationship; communication through the Holy Spirit of minds joined, where bodies loose their meaning, takes the forefront of purpose. Fear and unworthiness dissolve into meaninglessness when we are joined only for God’s plan for Salvation; which is to say, joining our will, joined in Gods Will for perfect happiness for us, now…

“No one who has a single purpose, unified and sure, can be afraid”. (T-20.1.7)

Vision shines the thread of eternity through every situation and encounter and we see that must be joined in will, and in this joint will we are all united, and abide in peace. I love the simplicity this reason brings to mind and the resulting peace. Deciding to accept the Atonement for our self is the way to peace allowing us to look with love on every thing we perceive.

It is a constant reminder of how much our Father loves us and trusts us, whom He created as His Son.

“Father, Your trust in me has been so great, I must be worthy. You created me, and know me as I am. And yet You placed Your Son’s salvation in my hands, and let it rest on my decision. I must be beloved of You indeed. And I must be steadfast in holiness as well, that You would give Your Son to me in certainty that he is safe Who still is part of You, and yet is mine, because He is my Self”.
