God IS Inevitable
A COURSE IN MIRACLES
TEXT CHAPTER 4: THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL  
II. Right Teaching and Right Learning

17 The word "inevitable" is fearful to the ego but joyous to the Soul. God is inevitable, and you cannot avoid Him any more that He can avoid you. The ego is afraid of the Soul's joy because, once you have experienced it, you will withdraw all protection from the ego and become totally without the investment in fear. Your investment is great now because fear is a witness to the separation, and your ego rejoices when you witness to it. Leave it behind! Do not listen to it, and do not preserve it. Listen only to God, Who is as incapable of deception as are the Souls He created.

1If guilt is hell, what is its opposite? Like the text for which this workbook was written, the ideas which are used for the exercises are very simple, very clear, and totally unambiguous. We are not concerned with intellectual feats nor logical toys. We are dealing only in the very obvious, which has been overlooked in the clouds of complexity in which you think you think. 

 

2If guilt is hell, what is its opposite? This is not difficult, surely. The hesitation you may feel in answering is not due to the ambiguity of the question. But do you believe that guilt is hell? If you did, you would see at once how direct and simple the text is, and you would not need a workbook at all. No one needs practice to gain what is already his. 

 

3We have already said that your holiness is the salvation of the world. What about your own salvation? You cannot give what you do not have. A savior must be saved. How else can he teach salvation? Today's exercises will apply to you alone, recognizing that your salvation is crucial to the salvation of the world. As you apply the exercises to your own world, the whole world stands to benefit. 

 

4Your holiness is the answer to every question that was ever asked, is being asked now, or will be asked in the future. Your holiness means the end of guilt and therefore the end of hell. Your holiness is the salvation of the world and your own. How could you to whom your holiness belongs be excluded from it? God does not know unholiness. Can it be He does not know His Son? 

 

5A full five minutes are urged for the four longer practice periods for today. Longer and more frequent practice sessions are encouraged. If you want to exceed the minimum requirements, more rather than longer sessions are recommended, although both are encouraged. 

 

6Begin the practice periods as usual by repeating today's idea to yourself. Then with closed eyes search out your unloving thoughts in whatever form they appear: uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, worry, attack, insecurity, and so on. Whatever form they take, they are unloving and therefore fearful. And so it is from them that you need to be saved. 

 

7Specific situations, events, or personalities you associate with unloving thoughts of any kind are suitable subjects for today's exercises. It is imperative for your own salvation that you see them differently. And it is your blessing on them that will save you and give you vision. 

 

8Slowly, without conscious selection and without undue emphasis on any one in particular, search your mind for every thought that stands between you and your salvation. Apply the idea for today to each one of them in this way: 

 

9My unloving thoughts about ___ are keeping me in hell. My holiness is my salvation

 

10You may find these sessions easier if you intersperse the applications with several short periods during which you merely repeat today's idea to yourself slowly a few times. You may also find it helpful to include a few short intervals in which you just relax and do not seem to be thinking of anything. Sustained concentration is very difficult at first. It will become much easier as your mind becomes more disciplined and less distractible. 

 

11Meanwhile, you should feel free to introduce variety into your practice periods in whatever form appeals to you. Do not, however, change the idea itself in varying the method of applying it. However you elect to use it, the idea should be stated so that its meaning remains that your holiness is your salvation. 

 

12End each practice period by repeating the idea in its original form once more, and adding: 

 

13If guilt is hell, what is its opposite? 

 

14In the shorter applications, which should be made some three or four times an hour and more if possible, you may ask yourself this question, repeat today's idea, or preferably both. If temptations arise, a particularly helpful form of the idea is: 

 

15My holiness is my salvation from this.

ORIGINAL HAND SCRIPT

  

1 A theoretical foundation such as the text is necessary as a background to make these exercises meaningful. Yet it is the exercises which will make the goal possible. An untrained mind can accomplish nothing. It is the purpose of these exercises to train the mind to think along the lines which the course sets forth.

 

2 The exercises are very simple. They do not require more than a few minutes, and it does not matter where or when you do them. They need no preparation. They are numbered, running from 1 to 365. The training period is one year. Do not undertake more than one exercise a day.

 

3 The purpose of these exercises is to train the mind to a different perception of everything in the world. The workbook is divided into two sections, the first dealing with the undoing of what you see now and the second with the restoration of sight. It is recommended that each exercise be repeated several times a day, preferably in a different place each time and, if possible, in every situation in which you spend any long period of time. The purpose is to train the mind to generalize the lessons, so that you will understand that each of them is as applicable to one situation as it is to another.

 

4 Unless specified to the contrary, the exercise should be practiced with the eyes open, since the aim is to learn how to see. The only rule that should be followed throughout is to practice the exercises with great specificity. Each one applies to every situation in which you find yourself and to everything you see in it. Each day's exercises are planned around one central idea, the exercises themselves consisting of applying that idea to as many specifics as possible. Be sure that you do not decide that there are some things you see to which the idea for the day is inapplicable. The aim of the exercises will always be to increase the application of the idea to everything. This will not require effort. Only be sure that you make no exceptions in applying the idea.

 

5 Some of the ideas you will find hard to believe, and others will seem quite startling. It does not matter. You are merely asked to apply them to what you see. You are not asked to judge them, nor even to believe them. You are asked only to use them. It is their use which will give them meaning to you, and show you they are true. Remember only this-you need not believe them, you need not accept them, and you need not welcome them. Some of them you may actively resist. None of this will matter nor decrease their efficacy. But allow yourself to make no exceptions in applying the ideas the exercises contain. Whatever your reactions to the ideas may be, use them. Nothing more than this is required.

 LESSON 39

My holiness is my salvation. 

 

What are we being saved from here? The answer is our guilt. When our guilt is released we will know our holiness which is the opposite to guilt. Thus salvation is the opposite to hell. Our guilt is what keeps us in hell. There is no hell with the exception of that which is experienced as a result of our guilt and our fear. There is so much to say about guilt and because it will come up in future lessons I will try to keep this somewhat brief. First I went to the Circle of Atonement glossary where I found this:

"Guilt's ultimate basis is the belief that a) we attacked and separated from God  thus b) murdered our divine innocence and turned ourselves into egos, who now c) deserve death and hell. This belief is utterly false, for a) we are incapable of sinning or separating, b) cannot remake ourselves and c) cannot die. Hence, there is no such thing as the state of guilt. There is only the unfounded feeling of guilt.

Guilt is at the core of our experience here. It maintains linear time, for it rests on past mistakes and demands future punishment (see T-13.I.8-9). It made the physical world, which is why the world constantly seems to be punishing us (see T-13.IN.2-4). It is the essence of our perception of the world. It is the sole cause of all pain."

We think that feeling guilt is honest humility which motivates us to obey God's laws. Yet guilt is purely an ego device for arrogantly demonstrating that we are separate from God and should fear Him. Guilt maintains the ego's existence. For this reason, the ego is attracted to guilt.   Thus, the ego tells us to pursue worldly pleasure and avoid pain as much as possible; to maintain our defenses against attacks in order to find safety; that our anger is justified when we feel attacked; and that the cause of our unhappiness and suffering is as a result of what others do and thus the guilt is theirs and not ours.  Yet the real motivation behind the ego's counsel is that we should accumulate more guilt because our separate existence depends on it. Thus the attraction to guilt is the attraction to maintaining our separate self.  Since guilt is the only thing that keeps us from God, the journey home consists entirely of teaching and learning the unreality of guilt through forgiveness.  "If you identify with the ego, you must perceive yourself as guilty. Whenever you respond to your ego, you will experience guilt and you will fear punishment. The ego is quite literally a fearful thought. However ridiculous the idea of attacking God may be to the sane mind, never forget that the ego is not sane." (T-5.V.3.5-7)

So basically the foundation of guilt, is that we believe that we separated from God and thus killed our divine innocence, turned ourselves into egos and we now believe that we deserve death and hell. While we can't consciously connect with that foundational event, we can and do experience guilt as a result of things we have done, not done, thought, felt. In fact we live in a constant state of underlying guilt.

Now Jesus comes to the core question in this lesson which is to ask if we believe that guilt is hell? And he answers it by saying that it is not a difficult question to answer.  "This is not difficult, surely." (2.2) He says, it is not a difficult question because it is not at all ambiguous. So what is our hesitation about? He says we hesitate because we don't believe guilt is hell. If we did, then we would not choose it. We would not even need this course if we believed that guilt is hell. In fact you "would see at once how direct and simple the text is, and you would not need a workbook at all.  No one needs practice to gain what is already his." (2.5-6)So, it is clear that while we know ourselves in this separated state of guilt, we don't know ourselves as to who we really are.

We think that we don't want the guilt. Yet we do want our individuality and the body and the world. With it comes guilt. That is what the Course means by attraction to guilt. Unquestionably we don't want it in ourselves. We want our separate identity but we don't want the guilt. So the ego has an answer for that. It says, "fine, all that you need to do is to see the guilt you don't want to see in yourself, in your brother." And that is what we love to do. We are very attracted to seeing it in others. But the only reason we want to see it in others is because we want to keep it real in ourselves. Of course this strategy is hidden from our awareness which is why Jesus is bringing it to our attention. Because only when we see it are we motivated to change. When we don't see our own strategy that keeps us in hell, we will continue to listen to the ego's counsel which is to keep our guilt hidden by projecting it on others. What the ego does not tell us is that is precisely how we keep it.

Our fear of looking at our guilt is because we still want our individual self. That is why Jesus helps us to see how afraid we are of love. That is what our resistance to this teaching is all about. It does not seem simple to our complex minds that are filled with guilt and fear. Thus the undoing process must be slow and gentle. We are assured that we will not be thrust into Heaven but will go only as quickly or slowly as our fear will allow. As long as we are invested in our individual existence we will think that this world of guilt is a better alternative than to wake up to the truth of who we are.    

Jesus says that every time we cry, regardless of the situation, we are actually crying for our lost innocence. The truth is that we have not lost our innocence, our divinity, our holiness but we think we have. As long as we continue to feel guilty, we are showing Jesus that he is wrong about us. The whole task of the course teaching is to show us the way that will free us from our guilt. "The ego is the choice for guilt; the Holy Spirit is the choice for guiltlessness. The power of decision is all that is yours." (T.14.III.4.2) Then later we are told "you are guilty or guiltless, bound or free, unhappy or happy." (14.III.4.6)

"The miracle teaches you that you have chosen innocence, freedom and joy.  It is the natural result of choosing right, attesting to your happiness that comes from choosing to be free of guilt. Everyone you offer healing to returns it. Everyone you attack keeps it and cherishes it by holding it against you. Whether he does this or does it not will make no difference; you will think he does."  (T.14. III.4)  And yet we yearn to know our divine goodness and long to return home to our Self. "You have not lost your innocence. It is for this you yearn. This is your heart's desire. This is the voice you hear, and this the call which cannot be denied. The holy Child remains with you. His home is yours." (W.PI.182.12.2-4) There is no substitute for the divine innocence of our true nature even though the ego is quite prepared to offer substitutes whereby it tries to show us how we might achieve self esteem, respect, worthiness, power, status, special relationships, and things of this world to make us happy. But none of it will take the place of our desire to know our holiness.

We have become so used to our underlying anxiety that we are mostly not even aware of the thoughts that are there. So now we need to start attending to them by being vigilant in watching our thoughts. The reason for this is that we can't bring any thought for healing that we deny to ourselves. BUT we have been previously cautioned in the lessons that we should look at these thoughts and feelings casually. In other words, don't judge them or yourself as wrong; just notice without judging. Jesus tells us that unhealthy denial is when we attempt to conceal these thoughts and feelings. Our unloving thoughts are just mistakes. It is not helpful to crucify ourselves for them. That will just hinder the healing process. To look at our thoughts without judgment is to look from above the battleground. From this perspective we are looking at them with the Holy Spirit. And from this place, we recognize the thoughts as illusory. And this is what forgiveness does. "Forgiveness on the other hand, is still, and quietly does nothing." (W. P.II.Q.1.4.1)

Remember we are not trying to make ourselves into more loving people. Holiness is already ours. That is why the lesson reminds us that "my holiness is my salvation."  We have just hidden our holiness behind a cloud of guilty, fearful thoughts. Those thoughts can be released with the help of the Holy Spirit and then the love that we are comes streaming through. There is nothing we need to do.

So why the resistance?  The ego depends on our continuing to feel guilty. It has taught us to project our guilt outside ourselves. But we just end up feeling more guilty. So we then think we deserve punishment and create situations that will deliver it to us. We think that if we can get the world to do it to us we can relieve some of our guilt. It is like feeling better after we were spanked when we were kids because we knew we had done wrong and deserved punishment.   Until we take full responsibility for our guilt and our attacks, the cycle continues. So trying to manage our guilt by denying it, projecting it, diminishing it will still keep us in hell.

So we are being asked to look at these episodes of attack as mistakes only to be corrected. And that is what forgiveness is in the course. It is about complete release from our mistakes and doing the same for others by recognizing their innocence. But won't this exonerate them from the terrible deeds they have done? That is our fear isn't it? That is why we keep ourselves and others in this game of guilt. We think that it is guilt that keeps us and others from doing wrong when in fact, it just keeps us feeling guilty. Jesus reminds us that we can't give the world what we don't have.  "You cannot give what you do not have. A savior must be saved." (3.3-4)But it is important to remember that the world is just a reflection of what is in our minds. Therefore to see our brother's innocence is to know our own. Giving and receiving are the same. The world is saved when we are saved because it is just a projection of our own thoughts. When our thoughts are healed there is no world to be saved.

So why does this seem so difficult for us to get? Clearly he is saying that we just don't get it. He says if we did, then the course would be very simple to us and reading the text would be all we would need. So, complicated as the course may sound to us now, it is actually our native tongue! What makes it difficult is only our unwillingness to understand. And this unwillingness is because our investment in the world and body and individuality is really important to us. In fact we could say that this investment is where we think our happiness lies.

To us the state of guilt in which we live is what we accept as reality. Once we experience a state of defenselessness, all of a sudden something we did not understand in the course becomes incredibly clear. It means we are no  longer defending against it. When we bring this kind of healed perception to it, it resonates deeply with a new understanding.  It is the ego that creates clouds of complexity. By trying to put course teaching into our ego framework to make sense of it means that we are still trying to integrate the truth into the illusion. So we need to be patient with ourselves as we learn this new language. We are still babies. And in this process we may experience some disorientation. Look at any disorientation that comes up as a sign of progress.  It means we have released some of our attachment to the ego. The fear of the light that we are so defended against, has now lifted somewhat.

Because of our defenses and our projections we don't see the depth and horror of our own guilt. We have not recognized that it is our own unloving thoughts that keep us in hell. We still think that there are other reasons that make our lives difficult, whether it is our childhood difficulties, our divorces, other's attacks on us. We just don't get that guilt is hell. We have learned to live with our guilt and manage it by defending against it. We don't really experience our guilt as hell. In fact we are motivated to keep ourselves guilty. How do we know that? Because we hold onto the desire to attack just to prove that we are not who God says we are. We are proving to ourselves that we are really attacking, guilty sinners whether we attack by thought, word or deed.

Jesus says that God does not know unholiness. It would follow then that he does not know of this world which is a world of unholiness.   But then he asks us to consider logically "Can it be that He does not know His Son?" (4.6) God knows us only in our holiness as the Son not this illusory separated self. We hate feeling guilty and do everything not to feel this way  We deny, project, make excuses, make others responsible....anything we can do not to feel guilty. But the answer is to watch our thoughts and bring them to the light of healing.

We are asked today to search our minds for unloving thoughts in whatever form them may appear; "uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, worry, attack, insecurity and so on." (6.2) Any unloving thought, no matter how insignificant we think it to be, will cause suffering and bring on guilt. Yet, the guilt is not real. The truth is that we are already holy and just don't know it. "My holiness is my salvation."   What we want to do then is to bring our unloving thoughts for healing so we can be released from guilt and get in touch with our holiness. But how do we do this? We are given a process here to do the practice today and you will see that it is quite involved so I will try to summarize the practice instructions as clearly as possible.

We have four longer practice periods today of five minutes each. We are encouraged to take a longer time for each beyond the five minutes. Remember the importance of doing the lesson first thing in the morning and last thing at night. More rather than longer sessions are preferable.

Begin by repeating the idea to yourself. Then with closed eyes, search out your unloving thoughts in any form that they appear (eg. Uneasiness, depression, anger, fear, worry, attack, insecurity etc). Make no exceptions and treat each thought the same. With each say: "my unloving thoughts about _____are keeping me in hell. My holiness is my salvation." The practice is about searching out your unloving thoughts and bringing them to the Holy Spirit.   Intersperse the practice with several periods of just repeating the idea slowly or relaxing and not thinking about anything. Also you may want to vary the words for this idea as long as the meaning is maintained. (he knows that sustained concentration may be difficult at this stage).

Conclude by repeating the question "If guilt is hell, what is its opposite?" It is my holiness.

Frequent reminders throughout the day with variations in the form as long as the content of the lesson remains focused on forgiveness. When you are tempted by any unloving thought today, remind yourself that your holiness is your salvation.  Respond quickly to your ego's temptation to feel guilt and anger. It is much easier to change your mind with your first thought than when you get into a long story about the situation and justify your position.

Love and blessings, Sarah

Chapter Four

The Root of All Evil


II. Right Teaching and Right Learning
        continued    

12 It is natural enough for the ego to try to protect itself once you have made it, but it is not natural for you to want to obey its laws unless you believe in them. The ego cannot make this choice because of the nature of its origin. You can because of the nature of yours. Egos can clash in any situation, but Souls cannot clash at all. If you perceive a teacher as merely a "larger ego," you will be afraid because to enlarge an ego is to increase separation anxiety. I will teach with you and live with you if you will think with me, but my goal will always be to absolve you finally from the need for a teacher.

 

13 This is the opposite of the ego-oriented teacher's goal. He is concerned with the effect of his ego on other egos and therefore interprets their interaction as a means of ego preservation. I would not be able to devote myself to teaching if I believed this, and you will not be a devoted teacher as long as you maintain it. I am constantly being perceived as a teacher either to be exalted or rejected, but I do not accept either perception for myself.

 

14 Your worth is not established by your teaching or your learning. Your worth was established by God. As long as you dispute this, everything you do will be fearful, particularly any situation which lends itself to the "superiority-inferiority" fallacy. Teachers must be patient and repeat their lessons until they are learned. I am willing to do this because I have no right to set your learning limits for you. Once again-nothing you do or think or wish or make is necessary to establish your worth. This point is not debatable except in delusions. Your ego is never at stake because God did not create it. Your Soul is never at stake because He did. Any confusion on this point is a delusion and no form of devotion is possible as long as this delusion lasts.

 

15 The ego tries to exploit all situations into forms of praise for itself in order to overcome its doubts. It will be doubtful forever, or rather as long as you believe in it. You who made it cannot trust it because you know it is not real. The only sane solution is not to try to change reality, which is indeed a fearful attempt, but to see it as it is. You are part of reality, which stands unchanged beyond the reach of your ego but within easy reach of your Soul. When you are afraid, be still and know that God is real and you are His beloved Son in whom He is well pleased. Do not let your ego dispute this because the ego cannot know what is as far beyond its reach as you are.

 

16 God is not the author of fear. You are. You have chosen, therefore, to create unlike Him, and you have made fear for yourselves. You are not at peace because you are not fulfilling your function. God gave you a very lofty responsibility which you are not meeting. You know this, and you are afraid. In fact, your egos have chosen to be afraid instead of meeting it. When you awaken you will not be able to understand this because it is literally incredible. Do not believe the incredible now. Any attempt to increase its believability is merely to postpone the inevitable.

 

17 The word "inevitable" is fearful to the ego but joyous to the Soul. God is inevitable, and you cannot avoid Him any more that He can avoid you. The ego is afraid of the Soul's joy because, once you have experienced it, you will withdraw all protection from the ego and become totally without the investment in fear. Your investment is great now because fear is a witness to the separation, and your ego rejoices when you witness to it. Leave it behind! Do not listen to it, and do not preserve it. Listen only to God, Who is as incapable of deception as are the Souls He created.

 

18 Release yourselves and release others. Do not present a false and unworthy picture of yourself to others, and do not accept such a picture of them yourselves. The ego has built a shabby and unsheltering home for you because it cannot build otherwise. Do not try to make this impoverished house stand. Its weakness is your strength. Only God could make a home that is worthy of His creations, who have chosen to leave it empty by their own dispossession. Yet His home will stand forever and is ready for you when you choose to enter it. Of this you can be wholly certain. God is as incapable of creating the perishable as the ego is of making the eternal.

 

19 Of your egos you can do nothing to save yourselves or others, but of your Souls you can do everything for the salvation of both. Humility is a lesson for the ego, not for the Soul. The Soul is beyond humility because it recognizes its radiance and gladly sheds its light everywhere. The meek shall inherit the earth because their egos are humble, and this gives them better perception. The Kingdom of Heaven is the right of the Soul, whose beauty and dignity are far beyond doubt, beyond perception, and stand forever as the mark of the love of God for His creations, who are wholly worthy of Him and only of Him. Nothing else is sufficiently worthy to be a gift for a creation of God Himself.

 

20 I will substitute for your ego if you wish but never for your Soul. A father can safely leave a child with an elder brother who has shown himself responsible, but this involves no confusion about the child's origin. The brother can protect the child's body and his ego, which are very closely related, but he does not confuse himself with the father because he does this, although the child may. I can be entrusted with your body and your ego simply because this enables you not to be concerned with them and lets me teach you their unimportance. I could not understand their importance to you if I had not once been tempted to believe in them myself.

 

21 Let us undertake to learn this lesson together, so we can be free of them together. I need devoted teachers who share my aim of healing the mind. The Soul is far beyond the need of your protection or mine. Remember this:

 

22 In this world you need not have tribulation
   because  I have overcome the world.

 

23 That is why you should be of good cheer.

Presently all CIMS projects are wholly supported by free will gifts of time, talent, and money. If you would like to support any of the activities of the Society in any way, please do not hesitate to get in touch. Because of the international character of CIMS, the internet is our primary means of communicating and collaborating.

 

CIMS is a section 501(c)(3) nonprofit corporation, and donations are tax deductible.
  

ALSO, by means of your will or other estate plan, you can name "Course in Miracles Society" as the beneficiary of a portion of your estate, or of particular assets in your estate.


In this way, you are honoring your loved ones while also providing critical support to the extension of LOVE.

 

 

Namaste and Thank You!
