Voice From Heaven

LESSON 99Salvation Is My Only Function Here.Salvation and forgiveness are the same. They both imply that something has gone wrong; something to be saved from, forgiven for; something amiss that needs corrective change; something apart or different from the Will of God. Thus do both terms imply a thing impossible but yet which has occurred, resulting in a state of conflict seen between what is and what could never be.Truth and illusions both are equal now, for both have happened. The impossible becomes the thing you need forgiveness for, salvation from. Salvation now becomes the borderland between the truth and the illusion. It reflects the truth because it is the means by which you can escape illusions. Yet it is not yet the truth because it undoes what was never done.How could there be a meeting place at all where earth and Heaven can be reconciled within a mind where both of them exist? The mind that sees illusions thinks them real. They have existence in that they are thoughts. And yet they are not real, b

LESSON 98I Will Accept My Part In God’s Plan For Salvation.Today is a day of special dedication. We take a stand on but one side today. We side with truth and let illusions go. We will not vacillate between the two, but take a firm position with the One. We dedicate ourselves to truth today, and to salvation as God planned it be. We will not argue it is something else. We will not seek for it where it is not. In gladness we accept it as it is, and take the part assigned to us by God.How happy to be certain! All our doubts we lay aside today, and take our stand with certainty of purpose, and with thanks that doubt is gone and surety has come. We have a mighty purpose to fulfill, and have been given everything we need with which to reach the goal. Not one mistake stands in our way. For we have been absolved from errors. All our sins are washed away by realizing they were but mistakes.The guiltless have no fear, for they are safe and recognize their safety. They do not appeal to magic, nor invent escapes from fa

LESSON 97I Am Spirit.Today’s idea identifies you with your one Self. It accepts no split identity, nor tries to weave opposing factors into unity. It simply states the truth. Practice this truth today as often as you can, for it will bring your mind from conflict to the quiet fields of peace. No chill of fear can enter, for your mind has been absolved from madness, letting go illusions of a split identity.We state again the truth about your Self, the holy Son of God Who rests in you; Whose mind has been restored to sanity. You are the spirit lovingly endowed with all your Father’s Love and peace and joy. You are the spirit which completes Himself, and shares His function as Creator. He is with you always, as you are with Him.Today we try to bring reality still closer to your mind Each time you practice, awareness is brought a little nearer at least; sometimes a thousand years or more are saved. The minutes which you give are multiplied over and over, for the miracle makes use of time, but is not ruled by it.

LESSON 96Salvation Comes From My One Self.Although you are one Self, you experience yourself as two; as both good and evil, loving and hating, mind and body. This sense of being split into opposites induces feelings of acute and constant conflict, and leads to frantic attempts to reconcile the contradictory aspects of this self-perception. You have sought many such solutions, and none of them has worked. The opposites you see in you will never be compatible. But one exists.The fact that truth and illusion cannot be reconciled, no matter how you try, what means you use and where you see the problem, must be accepted if you would be saved. Until you have accepted this, you will attempt an endless list of goals you cannot reach; a senseless series of expenditures of time and effort, hopefulness and doubt, each one as futile as the one before, and failing as the next one surely will.Problems that have no meaning cannot be resolved within the framework they are set. Two selves in conflict could not be resolved, an

LESSON 95I Am One Self, United With My Creator.Today’s idea accurately describes you as God created you. You are one within yourself, and one with Him. Yours is the unity of all creation. Your perfect unity makes change in you impossible. You do not accept this, and you fail to realize it must be so, only because you believe that you have changed yourself already.You see yourself as a ridiculous parody on God’s creation; weak, vicious, ugly and sinful, miserable and beset with pain. Such is your version of yourself; a self divided into many warring parts, separate from God, and tenuously held together by its erratic and capricious maker, to which you pray. It does not hear your prayers, for it is deaf. It does not see the oneness in you, for it is blind. It does not understand you are the Son of God, for it is senseless and understands nothing.We will attempt today to be aware only of what can hear and see, and what makes perfect sense. We will again direct our exercises towards reaching your one Self, Which

LESSON 94I Am As God Created Me.Today we continue with the one idea which brings complete salvation; the one statement which makes all forms of temptation powerless; the one thought which renders the ego silent and entirely undone. You are as God created you. The sounds of this world are still, the sights of this world disappear, and all the thoughts that this world ever held are wiped away forever by this one idea. Here is salvation accomplished. Here is sanity restored.True light is strength, and strength is sinlessness. If you remain as God created you, you must be strong and light must be in you. He Who ensured your sinlessness must be the guarantee of strength and light as well. You are as God created you. Darkness cannot obscure the glory of God’s Son. You stand in light, strong in the sinlessness in which you were created, and in which you will remain throughout eternity.Today we will again devote the first five minutes of each waking hour to the attempt to feel the truth in you. Begin these times of s

We are sharing in this episode in a direct meeting with Master Teacher the first part of the video presentation of The Vision Of Holiness, Episode V, in which He offers us the recognition and acknowledgment of the power in our mind that is within us, not outside. We are talking about the Power of Light. HE shares with us and leads us to "I am in the Father, and the Father is in me." Any form of crucifixion can and should be used to experience our resurrection. ◊ We are using Part 1 and part of Part 2 of the Master Teacher's video PL-04a - The Vision Of Holiness - A Celebration Of The Resurrection Of Our Savior, Epi V -- https://themasterteacher.tv/video/catalogue/volume-one/the-power-of-light-seriesYouTube: https://youtu.be/m1NN429lM3o

LESSON 93Light And Joy And Peace Abide In Me.You think you are the home of evil, darkness and sin. You think if anyone could see the truth about you he would be repelled, recoiling from you as if from a poisonous snake. You think if what is true about you were revealed to you, you would be struck with horror so intense that you would rush to death by your own hand, living on after seeing this being impossible.These are beliefs so firmly fixed that it is difficult to help you see that they are based on nothing. That you have made mistakes is obvious. That you have sought salvation in strange ways; have been deceived, deceiving and afraid of foolish fantasies and savage dreams; and have bowed down to idols made of dust, all this is true by what you now believe.Today we question this, not from the point of view of what you think, but from a very different reference point, from which such idle thoughts are meaningless. These thoughts are not according to God’s Will. These weird beliefs He does not share with you.

LESSON 92Miracles Are Seen In Light, And Light And Strength Are One.The idea for today is an extension of the previous one. You do not think of light in terms of strength, and darkness in terms of weakness. That is because your idea of what seeing means is tied up with the body and its eyes and brain. Thus you believe that you can change what you see by putting little bits of glass before your eyes. This is among the many magical beliefs that come from the conviction you are a body, and the body’s eyes can see.You also believe the body’s brain can think. If you but understood the nature of thought, you could but laugh at this insane idea. It is as if you thought you held the match that lights the sun and gives it all its warmth; or that you held the world within your hand, securely bound until you let it go. Yet this is no more foolish than to believe the body’s eyes can see; the brain can think.It is God’s strength in you that is the light in which you see, as it is His Mind with which you think. His strengt

LESSON 91Miracles Are Seen In Light.It is important to remember that miracles and vision necessarily go together. This needs repeating, and frequent repeating. It is a central idea in your new thought system, and the perception that it produces. The miracle is always there. Its presence is not caused by your vision; its absence is not the result of your failure to see. It is only your awareness of miracles that is affected. You will see them in the light; you will not see them in the dark.To you, then, light is crucial. While you remain in darkness, the miracle remains unseen. Thus you are convinced it is not there. This follows from the premises from which the darkness comes. Denial of light leads to failure to perceive it. Failure to perceive light is to perceive darkness. The light is useless to you then, even though it is there. You cannot use it because its presence is unknown to you. And the seeming reality of the darkness makes the idea of light meaningless.To be told that what you do not see is there

LESSON 90Review of Lessons 79 - 80For this review we will use these ideas:(79) Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.Let me realize today that the problem is always some form of grievance that I would cherish. Let me also understand that the solution is always a miracle with which I let the grievance be replaced. Today I would remember the simplicity of salvation by reinforcing the lesson that there is one problem and one solution. The problem is a grievance; the solution is a miracle. And I invite the solution to come to me through my forgiveness of the grievance, and my welcome of the miracle that takes its place.Specific applications of this idea might be in these forms:This presents a problem to me which I would have resolved.The miracle behind this grievance will resolve it for me.The answer to this problem is the miracle that it conceals.(80) Let me recognize my problems have been solved.I seem to have problems only because I am misusing time. I believe that the problem comes first, and time

LESSON 89Review of Lessons 77 - 78These are our review ideas for today:(77) I am entitled to miracles.I am entitled to miracles because I am under no laws but God’s. His laws release me from all grievances, and replace them with miracles. And I would accept the miracles in place of the grievances, which are but illusions that hide the miracles beyond. Now I would accept only what the laws of God entitle me to have, that I may use it on behalf of the function He has given me.You might use these suggestions for specific applications of this idea:Behind this is a miracle to which I am entitled.Let me not hold a grievance against you, [name], but offer you the miracle that belongs to you instead.Seen truly, this offers me a miracle.(78) Let miracles replace all grievances.By this idea do I unite my will with the Holy Spirit’s, and perceive them as one. By this idea do I accept my release from hell. By this idea do I express my willingness to have all my illusions be replaced with truth, according to God’s plan fo

LESSON 88Review of Lessons 75 - 76Today we will review these ideas:(75) The light has come.In choosing salvation rather than attack, I merely choose to recognize what is already there. Salvation is a decision made already. Attack and grievances are not there to choose. That is why I always choose between truth and illusion; between what is there and what is not. The light has come. I can but choose the light, for it has no alternative. It has replaced the darkness, and the darkness has gone.These would prove useful forms for specific applications of this idea:This cannot show me darkness, for the light has come.The light in you is all that I would see, [name].I would see in this only what is there.(76) I am under no laws but God’s.Here is the perfect statement of my freedom. I am under no laws but God’s. I am constantly tempted to make up other laws and give them power over me. I suffer only because of my belief in them. They have no real effect on me at all. I am perfectly free of the effects of all laws sav

LESSON 87Review of Lessons 73 - 74Our review today will cover these ideas:(73) I will there be light.I will use the power of my will today. It is not my will to grope about in darkness, fearful of shadows and afraid of things unseen and unreal. Light shall be my guide today. I will follow it where it leads me, and I will look only on what it shows me. This day I will experience the peace of true perception.These forms of this idea would be helpful for specific applications:This cannot hide the light I will to see.You stand with me in light, [name].In the light this will look different.(74) There is no will but God’s.I am safe today because there is no will but God’s. I can become afraid only when I believe there is another will. I try to attack only when I am afraid, and only when I try to attack can I believe that my eternal safety is threatened. Today I will recognize that all this has not occurred. I am safe because there is no will but God’s.These are some useful forms of this idea for specific applicatio

We are sharing in this episode in a direct meeting with Master Teacher the first part of the video presentation of I Am Not A Body I Am Free. I Am Still As God Created Me, Episode II, in which He offers us the basic recognition and practice that will lead inevitably to a resurrecting Experience. We are looking at His expression that there is no possibility of a conceptual mind will HEAR this. It can though start to practice towards a Self recognition such as the title offers as premise for its realization and become willing to "enter into a harmony of light conversion to Light" that will open up to this Singular Creative resurrecting Experience and Knowingness. ◊ We are using Part 1 of the Master Teacher's video PS-04b - I Am Not A Body I Am Free.

LESSON 86Review of Lessons 71 - 72These ideas are for review today:(71) Only God’s plan for salvation will work.It is senseless for me to search wildly about for salvation. I have seen it in many people and in many things, but when I reached for it, it was not there. I was mistaken about where it is. I was mistaken about what it is. I will undertake no more idle seeking. Only God’s plan for salvation will work. And I will rejoice because His plan can never fail.These are some suggested forms for applying this idea specifically:God’s plan for salvation will save me from my perception of this.This is no exception in God’s plan for my salvation.Let me perceive this only in the light of God’s plan for salvation.(72) Holding grievances is an attack on God’s plan for salvation.Holding grievances is an attempt to prove that God’s plan for salvation will not work. Yet only His plan will work. By holding grievances, I am therefore excluding my only hope of salvation from my awareness. I would no longer defeat my own b

LESSON 85Review of Lessons 69 - 70Today’s review will cover these ideas:(69) My grievances hide the light of the world in me.My grievances show me what is not there, and hide from me what I would see. Recognizing this, what do I want my grievances for? They keep me in darkness and hide the light. Grievances and light cannot go together, but light and vision must be joined for me to see. To see, I must lay grievances aside. I want to see, and this will be the means by which I will succeed.Specific applications for this idea might be made in these forms:Let me not use this as a block to sight.The light of the world will shine all this away.I have no need for this. I want to see.(70) My salvation comes from me.Today I will recognize where my salvation is. It is in me because its Source is there. It has not left its Source, and so it cannot have left my mind. I will not look for it outside myself. It is not found outside and then brought in. But from within me it will reach beyond, and everything I see will but r

LESSON 83Review of Lessons 65 - 66Today let us review these ideas:(65) My only function is the one God gave me.I have no function but the one God gave me. This recognition releases me from all conflict, because it means I cannot have conflicting goals. With one purpose only, I am always certain what to do, what to say and what to think. All doubt must disappear as I acknowledge that my only function is the one God gave me.More specific applications of this idea might take these forms:My perception of this does not change my function.This does not give me a function other than the one God gave me.Let me not use this to justify a function God did not give me.(66) My happiness and my function are one.All things that come from God are one. They come from Oneness, and must be received as one. Fulfilling my function is my happiness because both come from the same Source. And I must learn to recognize what makes me happy, if I would find happiness.Some useful forms for specific applications of this idea are:This can

LESSON 82Review of Lessons 63 - 64We will review these ideas today:(63) The light of the world brings peace to every mind through my forgiveness.My forgiveness is the means by which the light of the world finds expression through me. My forgiveness is the means by which I become aware of the light of the world in me. My forgiveness is the means by which the world is healed, together with myself. Let me, then, forgive the world, that it may be healed along with me.Suggestions for specific forms for applying this idea are:Let peace extend from my mind to yours, [name].I share the light of the world with you, [name].Through my forgiveness I can see this as it is.(64) Let me not forget my function.I would not forget my function, because I would remember my Self. I cannot fulfill my function if I forget it. And unless I fulfill my function, I will not experience the joy that God intends for me.Suitable specific forms of this idea include:Let me not use this to hide my function from me.I would use this as an opport
