Lesson 292:

A happy outcome to all things is sure…

This is another way of saying the Atonement. God created us in perfect joy. Here’s my experience and awareness…

All of us know what its like to feel really happy; that kind of joy that fosters oneness. The kind of happiness that makes you feel like you’re going to burst from the seams with such appreciation and bliss, that you just can’t keep it to yourself… you must share it… you, your joy and whomever you share with, just deserve it. And the funny part is, that if a so-called current loved one isn’t available at that moment to share with, we give up all selectivity, and gab whoever, and maybe everyone to share with, and share and share and share…. Don’t we…

This is the very nature of creation. God in the Joy of His Love, extended Himself forth, and bingo~ His Son, us, created just like Him…

Sure, we’ve made-up and played-out some twisted, upside-down scenarios in our dreams… like this dream of separation, scarcity and fear, i.e. the world. And sure, we placed, as it is our nature, our faith in what we made… because, we are like our Father in attitude~ due to what we are in truth. And God has perfect faith in all His creations.

So, in answer to the dream of separation, scarcity and fear, God instilled the Atonement principle, which is the remembrance of our full abundance, within the mind of the Son, (Holy Spirit) forever prompting us, through the way we feel, to gently awaken us, to the truth…

This ‘splinter-in-the-mind’, as the Matrix calls it, that something is not right, that we feel, all the time, in the background of everything in our lives… We feel it haunting us… well, really unless we are feeling that joyous happiness we just referred to, actually.

We pray for miracles (in whatever way we might pray, often disguised even to ourselves) to rid us of that frightening off-ness we experience… and we receive them in a new perception, seeing something we never notice before in a situation that weaves meaning to it or a characteristic in the ‘other guy’ that brings familiarity and therefore compassion…

And the miracles collapse time, giving us a sense that time itself isn’t quite what we once thought…Each miracle makes us feel connected to everyone involved and the sense that we just might be wrong about how we are viewing the world; that we might have more ‘in-common’ that un-common.

Then we notice that our entire perception is doing an about-face; the things we used to care about, have lost there meaning and what matters is the joy of loving ones brother as Oneself…

As we finally accept the Atonement for ourselves, we begin experiencing the ‘happy outcome to all things’ as a sort of pre-empting of the opportunity to forgive. And the ‘real’ and happy purpose of the world, to use it to correct our unbelief, finally has come to be our way of life… We are letting love tell us what to do, where to go, the words to use, people to see, and circumstances; forgiving and joining… Yes! A happy out come to all things is sure! It certainly is…

Remember this guide from the beginning of the text:

“All aspects of fear are untrue because they do not exist at the creative level, and therefore do not exist at all. To whatever extent you are willing to submit your beliefs to this test, to that extent are your perceptions corrected. In sorting out the false from the true, the miracle proceeds along these lines:

Perfect love casts out fear.
If fear exists,
Then there is not perfect love.

But:

Only perfect love exists.
If there is fear,
It produces a state that does not exist.

Believe this and you will be free. Only God can establish this solution, and this faith is His gift.” (T-1.VI.5)
