CHAPTER 11
God's Plan For Salvation
PAUSED FOR WEEKEND
VIII. The Guide For Miracles
61
Miracles demonstrate that learning has occurred under the right guidance, for learning is invisible, and what has been learned can be recognized only by its
results
. Its generalization is demonstrated as you use it in more and more situations. You will recognize that you have learned there is no order of difficulty in miracles when you have applied them to
all
situations. There
is
no situation to which miracles do not apply, and by applying them to all situations, you will gain the real world. For in this holy perception, you will be made whole, and the Atonement will radiate from
your
acceptance of it for
yourself
to everyone the Holy Spirit sends you for your blessing. In every Child of God His blessing lies, and in
your
blessing of the Children of God is His blessing to
you
.
62
Everyone in the world must play his part in the redemption of the world to recognize that the world
has
been redeemed. You cannot see the invisible. Yet if you see its effects, you
know
it must be there. By perceiving what it
does
, you recognize its being. And by
what
it does, you learn what it
is
. You cannot
see
your abilities, but you gain confidence in their existence as they enable you to
act
. And the
results
of your actions you
can
see.
63
The Holy Spirit is invisible, but you can see the
results
of His Presence, and through them you will learn that He is there. What He enables you to do is clearly
not
of this world, for miracles violate every law of reality as this world judges it. Every law of time and space, of magnitude and mass, of prediction and control is transcended, for what the Holy Spirit enables you to do is clearly beyond
all
of them. Perceiving His results, you will understand
where
He must be and finally
know
what He is.
64
You cannot see the Holy Spirit, but you can see His manifestations. And unless you do, you will not realize He is there. Miracles are His witnesses and speak for His Presence. What you cannot see becomes real to you only through the witnesses who speak for it. For you can be
aware
of what you cannot see, and it can become compellingly real to you as its presence becomes manifest
through
you. Do the Holy Spirit's work, for you
share
in His function. As your function in Heaven is creation, so your function on earth is healing. God shares His function with you in Heaven, and the Holy Spirit shares His with you on earth.
65
As long as you believe you have two functions, so long will you need correction. For this belief is the
destruction
of peace, a goal in direct opposition to the Holy Spirit's purpose. You see what you
expect,
and you expect what you
invite
. Your perception is the result of your invitation, coming to you as you sent for it. Whose manifestations would you see? Of whose presence would you be convinced? For you will believe in what you
manifest
, and as you look out, so will you see in. Two ways of looking at the world are in your mind, and your perception will reflect the guidance you chose.
66
I am the manifestation of the Holy Spirit, and when you see me, it will be because you have invited Him. For He
will
send you His witnesses if you will but look upon them. Remember always that you see what you seek, for what you seek you
will
find. The ego finds what
it
seeks and
only
that. It does not find love, for that is
not
what it is seeking. Yet seeking and finding are the same, and if you seek for two goals you will find them, but you will
recognize
neither. For you will think they are the same because you
want
them both. The mind always strives for integration, and if it is split and wants to
keep
the split, it will believe it has one goal by
making
it one.
67
We said before that
what
you project is up to you, but it is
not
up to you
whether
to project, for projection is a law of mind. Perception
is
projection, and you look in
before
you look out. As you look in you choose the guide for seeing, and
then
you look out and behold his witnesses. This is
why
you find what you seek. What you want in
yourself
, you will make manifest by projection, and you will accept it
from
the world because you put it there
by
wanting it.
68
When you think you are projecting what you do
not
want, it is still because you
do
want it. This leads directly to dissociation, for it represents the acceptance of two goals, each perceived in a
different
place, separated from each other
because
you made them different. The mind then sees a divided world
outside
itself but not
within
. This gives it an illusion of integrity and enables it to believe that it is pursuing one goal. As long as you perceive the world as split,
you
are not healed. For to be healed is to pursue one goal because you have
accepted
only one and
want
but one.
69
When you want
only
love you will see nothing else. The contradictory nature of the witnesses you perceive is merely the reflection of your conflicting invitations. You have looked upon your minds and accepted opposition there, having
sought
it there. But do not then believe that the witnesses for opposition are true, for they attest only to
your
decision about reality, returning to you the message you
gave
them. Love is recognized by its messengers. If you make love manifest, its messengers will come to you because you
invited
them.
70
The power of decision is your one remaining freedom as a prisoner of this world.
You can decide to see it right
. What
you
made of it is
not
its reality, for its reality is only what you
gav
e it. You cannot really give anything but love to anyone or anything, nor can you really
receive
anything else from them. If you think you have received anything else, it is because you have looked within and thought you saw the power to give something else
within yourself
. It was only this decision that determined what you found, for it was the decision of what you
sought
.
71
You are afraid of me because you looked within and are afraid of what you saw. Yet you could not have seen reality, for the reality of your mind is the loveliest of God's creations. Coming only from God, its power and grandeur could only bring you peace
if you really looked upon it.
If you are afraid, it is because you saw something
that is not there
. Yet in that same place, you could have looked upon me and all your brothers in the perfect safety of the Mind which created us. For we are there in the peace of the Father, Who wills to project His peace through
you
.
72
When you have accepted your mission to
project
peace, you will
find
it, for by
making it manifest
, you will
see
it. Its holy witnesses will surround you because you
called
upon them and they will come to you. I have heard your call and I have answered it, but you will not look upon me nor
hear
the answer which you sought. That is because you do not yet want
only
that. Yet as I become more real to you, you will learn that you
do
want only that. And you will see me as you look within, and we will look upon the world as God created it together. Through the eyes of Christ,
only
the real world exists and can
be
seen. As you decide, so will you see. And all that you see but witnesses to your decision.
73
When you look within and see me, it will be because you have decided to manifest truth. And as you manifest it, you will see it both without
and
within, for you will see it without
because
you saw it first within. Everything you behold without is a judgment of what you beheld within. If it is
your
judgment, it will be wrong, for judgment is not your function. If it is the judgment of the Holy Spirit, it will be right, for judgment
is
His function. You share His function only by judging as
He
does, reserving no judgment at all unto yourselves. For you will judge
against
yourselves, but
He
will judge
for
you.
74
Remember, then, that whenever you look without and react unfavorably to what you see, you have judged yourself unworthy and have condemned yourself to death. The death penalty is the ego's ultimate goal, for it fully believes that you are a criminal, as deserving of death as God knows you are deserving of life. The death penalty never leaves the ego's mind, for that is what it always reserves for you in the end. Wanting to kill you as the final expression of its feeling for you, it lets you live but to await death. It will torment you while you live, but its hatred is not satisfied until you die. For your destruction is the one end toward which it works, and the only end with which it will be satisfied.
75
The ego is not a traitor to God to Whom treachery is impossible, but it
is
a traitor to you who believe
you
have been treacherous to your Father. That is why the
undoing
of guilt is an essential part of the Holy Spirit's teaching. For as long as you feel guilty, you are listening to the voice of the ego, which tells you that you
have
been treacherous to God and therefore
deserve
death. You will think that death comes from God and
not
from the ego because, by confusing yourself
with
the ego, you believe that
you
want death. And from what you want, God does
not
save you.
76
When you are tempted to yield to the desire for death,
remember that I did not die
. You will realize that this is true when you look within and
see
me. Would I have overcome death for myself alone? And would eternal life have been given me of the Father
unless
He had also given it to you? When you learn to make
me
manifest,
you
will never see death. For you will have looked upon the deathless in
yourself
, and you will see only the eternal as you look out upon a world that
cannot
die.

WORKBOOK
Lesson 133
I will not value what is valueless.
1
Sometimes in teaching there is benefit, particularly after you have gone through what seems theoretical and quite remote from what the student has already learned, to bring him back to practical concerns. This we will do today. We will not speak of lofty, world-encompassing ideas but dwell instead on benefits to you.
2
You do not ask too much of life, but far too little. When you let your mind be drawn to bodily concerns, to things you buy, to eminence as valued by the world, you ask for sorrow, not for happiness. This course does not attempt to take from you the little that you have. It does not try to substitute utopian ideas for satisfactions which the world contains.
3
There are no satisfactions in the world. Today we list the real criteria by which to test all things you think you want. Unless they meet these sound requirements, they are not worth desiring at all, for they can but replace what offers more.
4
The laws which govern choice you cannot make, no more than you can make alternatives from which to choose. The choosing you can do; indeed you must. But it is wise to learn the laws you set in motion when you choose and what alternatives you choose between. We have already stressed there are but two, however many there appear to be.
5
The range is set, and this we cannot change. It would be most ungenerous to you to let alternatives be limitless and thus delay your final choice until you had considered all of them in time and not been brought so clearly to the place where there is but one choice that must be made.
6
Another kindly and related law is that there is no compromise in what your choice must bring. It cannot give you just a little, for there is no in-between. Each choice you make brings everything to you or nothing. Therefore, if you learn the tests by which you can distinguish everything from nothing, you will make the better choice.
7
First, if you choose a thing that will not last forever, what you chose is valueless. A temporary value is without all value. Time can never take away a value that is real. What fades and dies was never there and makes no offering to him who chooses it. He is deceived by nothing in a form he thinks he likes.
8
Next, if you choose to take a thing away from someone else, you will have nothing left. This is because when you deny his right to everything, you have denied your own. You therefore will not recognize the things you really have, denying they are there. Who seeks to take away has been deceived by the illusion loss can offer gain. Yet loss must offer loss and nothing more.
9
Your next consideration is the one on which the others rest. Why is the choice you make of value to you? What attracts your mind to it? What purpose does it serve? Here it is easiest of all to be deceived, for what the ego wants it fails to recognize. It does not even tell the truth as it perceives it, for it needs to keep the halo which it uses to protect its goals from tarnish and from rust that you may see how innocent it is.
10
Yet is its camouflage a thin veneer which could deceive but those who are content to be deceived. Its goals are obvious to anyone who cares to look for them. Here is deception doubled, for the one who is deceived will not perceive that he has merely failed to gain. He will believe that he has served the ego's hidden goals. And though he tries to keep its halo clear within his vision, yet must he perceive its tarnished edges and its rusted core.
11
His ineffectual mistakes appear as sins to him because he looks upon the tarnished as his own—the rust a sign of deep unworthiness within himself. He who would still preserve the ego's goals and serve them as his own makes no mistakes according to the dictates of his guide. This guidance teaches it is error to believe that sins are but mistakes, for who would suffer for his sins if this were so?
12
And so we come to the criterion for choice which is the hardest to believe, because its obviousness is overlaid with many levels of obscurity. If you feel any guilt about your choice, you have allowed the ego's goals to come between the real alternatives, and thus you do not realize there are but two. And the alternative you think you chose seems fearful and too dangerous to be the nothingness it actually is.
13
All things are valuable or valueless, worthy or not of being sought at all, entirely desirable or not worth the slightest effort to obtain. Choosing is easy just because of this. Complexity is nothing but a screen of smoke which hides the very simple fact that no decision can be difficult.
14
What is the gain to you in learning this? It is far more than merely letting you make choices easily and without pain. Heaven Itself is reached by empty hands and open minds, which come with nothing to find everything and claim it as their own. We will attempt to reach this state today, with self-deception laid aside and with an honest willingness to value but the truly valuable and the real.
15
Our two extended practice periods of 15 minutes will begin with this:
16
I will not value what is valueless, and only what has value do I seek, for only that do I desire to find.
17
And then receive what waits for everyone who reaches unencumbered to the gate of Heaven, which swings open as he comes. Should you begin to let yourself collect some needless burdens or believe you see some difficult decisions facing you, be quick to answer with this simple thought:
18
I will not value what is valueless, for what is valuable belongs to me.

Sarah's Reflections
Lesson 133
I will not value what is valueless.
This Lesson,
"I will not value what is valueless
,
"
(W.133) is eminently practical as it sets forth very clear criteria for what is valuable and what is valueless. After all the metaphysical teachings in the Lesson yesterday about the world not being real, it seems like a positive assurance of more clarity and practical application here. Nevertheless, this Lesson is also quite challenging, with significant metaphysical teaching included here as well.
The main point of the Lesson is the contrast between the nature of love and truth and the seeming reality of this world. The point is that only what is of God has value while everything that keeps us invested in this world is valueless. While the metaphysical teachings of the Course can sometimes seem very difficult, the truth is simple. Yet the process can be difficult, as we go through the undoing process. It need not be painful but usually is because the plan often calls for changes in external circumstances that are always helpful but not necessarily experienced that way. Then comes a period of sorting out, which is
". . . always somewhat difficult
,
"
(Manual for Teachers.4.I.A.4.2) because now we are looking at what is keeping us invested in the illusion and what will be helpful or will hinder our journey. It is the third stage in the Development of Trust, as described in the Manual for Teachers, which is a period of relinquishment where there is enormous conflict. All these stages are about this sorting out process where we are sorting out the valuable from the valueless. This Lesson speaks about this process.
Jesus starts off by saying:
"You do not ask too much of life, but far too little."
(W.133.2.1) In fact, even more startling, he is saying we are actually asking for sorrow and not happiness in the world. Who would think that? Certainly, it is not a conscious request, but the ego has set it up so we don't realize that this is what we are actually doing at an unconscious level of the mind.
When we pursue the things of the world, we are literally going after nothing because we can't be satisfied by anything we pursue. When you look to whatever you believe will address your
". . . bodily concerns, to things you buy, to eminence as valued by the world, you ask for sorrow, not for happiness."
(W.133.2.2) Clearly, what is said here is not about this Course attempting
". . . to take from you the little that you have."
(W.133.2.3) Nor is Jesus asking us to
". . . substitute utopian ideas for satisfactions which the world contains
.
"
(W.133.2.4) He is only bringing our attention to the reality,
"There are no satisfactions in the world
.
"
(W.133.2.5) In fact, Jesus goes on to say that when we pursue these seeming satisfactions, all we are getting is more guilt. His interest is to show us how we are hurting ourselves, pursuing the things that can't bring us true happiness.
Is he asking us to stop pursuing what we think will make us happy? Should we feel guilty when we go shopping, look for special relationships with people, or look to food, objects, money, careers, fame, and attention for happiness? Clearly not. This Course is not about behavior. It is about what is going on in our minds. Certainly, as we change our minds, behavior will follow. What Jesus is showing us is that we are making choices based on fear. The thing is, we don't realize this. We think we are pursuing pleasure when we are actually choosing fear. This does not make us sinful. We need not feel guilty about our choices. He does not want us to judge ourselves for our wrong-minded choices. We certainly don't need to take on more guilt. He is just helping us to look at how we spend our lives, seeking for what can never be found in the world. We all want peace, love, and happiness, which we already have in us. The things we pursue in the world are substitutes for the real thing. We seek outside of ourselves for the happiness and peace that are already within. We will never find satisfaction there. As we become more aware that searching for anything outside of ourselves is a futile search, we become more motivated to look for the answers where they truly are, which is within.
Do not judge yourself for looking for status in this world or trying to find that special relationship you think will be the answer to all your dreams or for pursuing material things you think will fulfill you. What Jesus is asking of us is to look at the content of our minds and not at the forms we are pursuing. In other words, it is about looking at the cause rather than at effects. When we look at effects, we see the problem is in the world and we think the solution is there too. And so we are constantly trying to solve what can't be solved. However, when we look at the thoughts in our minds, change can happen. And when our minds are changed, the effects are changed as well.
All he wants us to see is that what we pursue to meet our needs, as we see them, will not make us happy nor bring us peace. It is not sinful to pursue something in the world. It is only misguided because, even when we get what we want, we will not achieve consistent peace and happiness. When we see that our pursuits bring nothing of value and only more pain, our motivation will change and our focus will be on what is important for our happiness, which is the healing of our minds. As we continue on this path, we will increasingly realize nothing outside our own minds can bring us the happiness we want. Again, it is a process and we need to be patient with ourselves, just as Jesus is patient with us.
In this Lesson, we are given the two laws that govern choice. Fortunately, we are not confronted with a zillion alternatives to confuse us about our choices. We are told there are only two alternatives.
"The laws that govern choice you cannot make, no more than you can make alternatives from which to choose
.
"
(W.133.3.3) We are choosing either love or fear, God or the ego. We are making a choice between everything and nothing. Therefore, every choice we make is between Spirit and the ego, between truth and illusion, between the miracle and a grievance, and between everything and nothing. There are no other alternatives. It is impossible for us to make any more alternatives because these two are governed by laws we did not make.
The first law affirms there are only two alternatives in front of us. The second law says there is no compromise between these two alternatives. Again, he says this is
"Another kindly and related law. . ."
(W.133.5.1) There is no compromise on what our choice brings us. One brings everything and the other brings nothing. It is one or the other. The decision becomes simple. When I judge or attack or hold a grievance, I need to remind myself that I am choosing hell. I need to remember that I am valuing attack, but in the process, I am hurting myself and choosing against my own peace and joy.
Now, we have four tests he wants us to run our decisions through so we can distinguish whether we are choosing either everything or nothing, our two alternatives. They are all interconnected.
I know I have chosen the valueless if:
1) I choose something
". . . that will not last forever. . ."
(W.133.6.1) He reminds us that only the permanent and changeless is real. Everything in this world fades and dies, including our bodies, which will not last. All of the stuff we seek, the self-aggrandizement, and even our ecstasies are temporary. Nothing lasts, and if it does not last, it can't have value.
"A temporary value is without all value
.
"
(W.133.6.2)
2) If I
". . . choose to take a thing away from someone else,"
(W.133.7.1) I will have nothing left. When we deny a thing to someone else, we ourselves will feel that we don't deserve it, and so we will deny it for ourselves. It seems only fair to us. We have given loss, and so we get loss. Even if what we take is there for us, we will feel like we should not have it. This relates to the fourth law of chaos.
"This seeming law is the belief that you have what you have taken. By this, another's loss becomes your gain, and thus it fails to recognize that you can never take away save from yourself."
(T.23.II.9.3-4) (ACIM OE T.23.III.27) If I believe I have something you don't, it serves my specialness, but I will feel guilty. The treasure I now hold is nothing if it means my brother is deprived of the gift. When you look at what real gifts are, they are everything that comes from God. These are peace, love, joy, truth, changelessness, holiness, and oneness, all of which are in everyone. But if I think I can have them at your expense, then I will not be aware of these gifts in myself. God's love is given to all with no special favors. Can Heaven's loss be my gain? Of course, we do think we have gained at God's expense, having taken our individual existence separate from Him.
3) The next criterion is about what purpose is being served by the choice I am making.
"Why is the choice you make of value to you?"
(W.133.8.2) Whose goals are being served by your choice---those of the ego or of the Holy Spirit? Gaining at someone else's expense serves ego goals. Does the choice you are making support your specialness and individuality or contribute to your healing? Jesus says that this is where we are easily deceived because we lie to ourselves. We tell ourselves that we have the best of intentions and are well-meaning in what we are doing, but we deceive ourselves about this. We smile as we attack and pretend we are just being helpful. Yet he says that we can only deceive ourselves if we are
". . . content to be deceived
.
"
(W.133.9.1) When we are willing to look, we will see our intentions are less than benign. We hide this even from ourselves, polishing our halo of innocence while lying to ourselves about our true motives. This is the rusted core he talks about in this Lesson. When we get very honest with ourselves and are willing to look at our anger and our attacks without judgment, then we have started the healing journey to uncovering the blocks to the love within us.
The final test is:
4)
"If you feel any guilt about your choice, you have allowed the ego's goals to come between the real alternatives."
(W.133.11.1) Do I feel any guilt about my choice? We will feel guilty when we have benefited at someone else's expense. Now we think of ourselves as a guilty sinner, with a corrupt core, but Jesus wants us to see it differently. While we may have benefited at the expense of our brothers, when we get honest and have the courage to look at all the people we may have hurt and all the pain we have caused, it is not a sin but only a mistake. The only way to know our innocence is to take off the halo (the face of innocence) and be willing to look. The ego would have us believe that we have sinned and this requires punishment. The ego's existence depends on our continued belief in having committed an unpardonable sin. It wants us to keep holding onto shame and guilt, as the ego’s existence depends on it.
We are being called to look at our intentions with great honesty. How are we serving the ego’s goals while pretending to be doing our best in a hostile world? We try to maintain the face of innocence, claiming we would not attack if the attack were not justified. Yet deep down, when we are willing to lift the curtain of denial, we know where we are gaining at someone else's expense, feel guilty, and believe we are sinners. Jesus assures us that our guilt is not the truth about us. When we try to gain at our brothers' expense, he says we are simply failing to make the real gains available to us. Now we have the criteria where we can apply these four tests and ask:
"What purpose does it serve?"
(W.133.8.4) Am I going for the stuff of the world and all the guilt that goes with it or for the eternal where I get everything with no guilt? This choice is there for us in every situation. Do I want to know my Eternal Self and receive the benefit for all my brothers; or do I look for my personal benefit while lying to myself about my motives and working hard to maintain and defend my false image, covering over my unconscious shadow with the face of innocence?
Jesus asks us,
"Why is the choice you make of value to you? What attracts your mind to it? What purpose does it serve?"
(W.133.8.2‑4) Unless we are able to really look at these questions honestly, we will be deceived. The ego is devious. Under its guidance, we try our best to look innocent and pretend that our intentions are noble and honest when, indeed, they are anything but noble and honest. When there is guilt, we know we have chosen the valueless. Guilt will always come from valuing anything in the world. It reenacts once again our choice for more than God's love, which was the basis for the separation, where we chose our specialness as a substitute for that love.
In every moment, we make a choice for Heaven or hell. In every moment, we hold thoughts of attack, grievances, and specialness. We defend our self-concept, trying to fill our perceived lacks and needs, but another choice is always available to us. The important thing is not to judge ourselves. If we do, we take on even more guilt. We came to this world for the purpose of getting what we can from it, and we will do what we came here for until we realize it no longer holds value for us. Eventually, disillusionment and depression show up and with them comes a sincere desire to wake up to the truth of what we are. The important thing in this process is radical self-honesty.
"Love is not an illusion. It is a fact. Where disillusionment is possible, there was not love but hate. For hate
is
an illusion, and what can change was never love
.
"
(T.16.IV.4.1-4) (ACIM OE T.16.V.33) When I first read this, I was really upset to be told I never knew what love was, but from the Course perspective,
"Love's meaning is obscure to anyone who thinks that love can change
.
"
(W.127.2.1) Though I was initially affronted by this, slowly I started to recognize the truth of it. Instead of trying to be more loving, Jesus showed me that the only way to love was by removing the blocks. This Lesson is another step in seeing how the blocks to love are defended by our focus on the externals of our lives, always choosing what truly has no eternal value.
So today, let's recognize we can be the observer of the one that has chosen to make mistakes in the misguided notion that it knows where our happiness lies. It is the false self we have given allegiance to and not what we are.
"He who would still preserve the ego's goals and serve them as his own makes no mistakes, according to the dictates of his guide."
(W.133.10.3) In other words, the ego wants us to feel guilty by having us identify with our mistakes so we would feel like failures---unworthy of love and guilty for the "sins" the ego would have us believe we have committed. Jesus says, they are not sins but only mistakes to be corrected, and the mighty help of the Holy Spirit, already present in our minds, is the One we can turn to for that Correction. The ego tries to make us responsible for our mistakes but Holy Spirit tells us we are only responsible for accepting the Correction.
The only guiltless choice we can make is to choose love, which is to choose the eternal, where no one loses and where there is no compromise. Jesus acknowledges that we don't know how to do that, as he tells us
"Heaven itself is reached with empty hands and open minds which come with nothing to find everything and claim it as their own."
(W.133.13.1)
"We will attempt to reach this state today. . .with an honest willingness,"
(W.133.13.2) which means we need to look at what we are valuing. We think we know our best interests and what will bring us happiness. We make judgments about how others aren't serving our needs and are guilty of neglecting us. We try to control and manipulate others, attacking and judging them. We get disappointed and depressed when things are not going our way. These are all indications that we are choosing what is valueless. Now we can choose instead what is eternal and truly has value, which is the love we are. We do this by not seeing our interests as separate from our brothers. We do this by watching our thoughts today, and being willing to let them go and have them washed clean and returned to us as blessings.
"I will not value what is valueless, and only what has value do I seek, for only that do I desire to find."
(W.133.13.4) Then look at what you are valuing in the world. Look at the needless burden of maintaining your ego and release it so you can truly come
". . . unencumbered, to the gates of Heaven
," (W.133.14.1) which swing open as you come. See yourself lifting the burdens of past "sins" and feeling your own innocence, as you release the places where you have been trying to polish your halo and recognize, with great, unflinching honesty, the areas where you have simply failed to gain.
Love and blessings, Sarah
