LESSON 73. I will there be light.
Today we cross a threshold. We have stepped into a new level of commitment within ourselves.
We have learned of our creative power and because we recognize it is so, we have determined, through consistent gentle daily practice that we wish to employ that power on behalf of our True Will–that we be released from the suffering of our own making.
Through our daily practice, we have come to understand that what we once thought occurred to us, actually occurs through us. We have come to see that we suffer only if we lend our creative will to the wish to retain the illusion that we are separate—one from another—each of us and all of us separate from our Source and all the power of the Universe.
We have come to see that suffering from this illusion need not continue. We reclaim the creative power that is ours and wield that power each and every day to unwind our belief in the illusion we have created.
We also understand that we need not rely on the illusory power of the small and sickly will we thought was our own. We see that our True Will is in accord with the return of Awareness to the All That Is. We unite with this Awareness by letting go the belief in our littleness/separateness through our forgiveness practice—removing our attention from the belief in all that separateness would have us see and placing it firmly with the Truth.
As we have begun to learn the true power and function of forgiveness, we have strengthened our willingness to abide in the Truth of our One True Being. We proceed with the knowledge that, because this Pure Unaffected Consciousness is all that truly exists, our Will is unopposed.
All of this has happened naturally as we have practiced the workbook lessons one day at a time. Today’s deeper commitment is one miracle in a series of miracles that are bringing us home.
