Week 18, Lessons 117-123, Academy for the Workbook of a Course in Miracles, 5/3/25

Lessons 117-123
Class notes:

⁶God wills salvation be received today, and that the intricacies of your dreams no longer hide their nothingness from you.
☀️[CE W-122.7:6]

⁵Be thankful it [God’s plan] remains exactly as He planned it. ⁶Changelessly it stands before you like an open door, with warmth and welcome calling from beyond the doorway, bidding you to enter in and make yourself at home where you belong.
☀️[CE W-122.4-6]

3 Give thanks that He has not abandoned you, and that His love forever will remain shining on you, forever without change.
☀️[CE W-123.3:1]

8 Receive His thanks, and you will understand how lovingly He holds you in His Mind, how deep and limitless His care for you, how perfect is His gratitude to you.
☀️[CE W-123.8:1]

Atonement is the remedy. ²The degree of error to which it is applied is irrelevant. ³Essentially, all healing is the release from fear. ⁴But to undertake this you cannot be fearful yourself.
☀️CE T-2.VII.2]

⁴My acceptance does not depend on recognizing what my function is, for I do not yet understand forgiveness. ⁵Yet I will trust that in the light I will see it as it is.
☀️[CE W-81.3:4-5]

What belongs to me in truth?
God’s peace and joy are mine…
Let me be still and listen to the truth.

²Let mine own feeble voice be still, and let me hear the mighty Voice of truth itself assure me that I am God’s perfect Son.
☀️[CE W-118.2]

Truth will correct all errors in my mind.
²I am mistaken when I think I can be hurt in any way. ³I am God’s Son, whose Self rests safely in the Mind of God.
☀️[CE W-119.1]
2 The unforgiving mind is:
…afraid of stillness; terrified of darkness, yet more terrified at the approach of light.
…full of fear, and offers love no room to be itself; no place where it can spread its wings in peace and soar above the turmoil of the world…
☀️[CE W-121.3]
6 Here is the answer! ²Would you stand outside while all of Heaven waits for you within? ³Forgive and be forgiven. ⁴As you give you will receive. ⁵There is no plan but this for the salvation of the Son of God.

⁶Let us today rejoice that this is so, for here we have an answer, clear and plain, beyond deceit in its simplicity. ⁷All the complexities the world has spun of fragile cobwebs disappear before the power and the majesty of this extremely simple statement of the truth.
☀️[CE W-122.6]
9 The unforgiving mind does not believe that giving and receiving are the same.
☀️[CE W-121.9:1]

6 Forgiveness is acquired. ²It is not inherent in a mind which cannot sin. ³As sin was an idea you taught yourself, forgiveness must be learned by you as well, but from a Teacher other than yourself Who represents the other Self in you. ⁴Through Him you learn how to forgive the self you think you made, and let it disappear. ⁵Thus you return your mind as one to Him Who is your Self, and Who can never sin.
☀️[CE W-121.6:4-5]
7 Each unforgiving mind presents you with an opportunity to teach your own how to forgive itself. ⁵The unforgiving mind must learn through your forgiveness that it has been saved from hell. ⁶And as you teach salvation, you will learn.
