Part 1

Undoing the Way We See Things Now

Lesson 90

For this review we will use these ideas:

1. (79) Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.

     Let me realize today that the problem is always some form of grievance which 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 to take its place.

2. 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 which it conceals.

3. (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 that time must elapse before the problem can be worked out. I do not see the problem and the answer as simultaneous in their occurrence. That is because I do not yet realize that God has placed the answer together with the problem, so that they cannot be separated by time. The Holy Spirit will teach me this, if I will let Him. And I will understand it is impossible that I could have a problem which has not been solved already.

4. These forms of the idea would be useful for specific applications:

I need not wait for this to be resolved.

The answer to this problem is already given me, if I will accept it.

Time cannot separate this problem from its solution.^[1]

Personal Notes:

“Let me recognize the problem so it can be solved.” The course teaches that there is one problem, no matter the form and one solution. I will ask my Heavenly Father what the problem is and wait for the

 

answer. He will tell me. Then I will ask for the solution to it. And I will be told. I invite the solution to come to me through forgiveness of the grievance, and I welcome the miracle that takes its place. “Let me recognize that my problems have been solved.” My one central problem has been solved. Salvation is accomplished. Freedom from conflict has been given me. In recognition of this I am opening the way for Holy Spirit to give me God’s answer. I have laid deception aside and choose only to see the light of truth. I have accepted salvation for myself by bringing the problem to the answer. I can recognize the answer because the problem has been identified. I am entitled to peace today. All problems are the same, their many forms will not deceive me as I remember, One problem, One solution. The problem must be gone because God’s answer cannot fail. Let me recognize this problem has been solved. I pray for all my brothers, sisters and myself for continued guidance, wisdom, discernment, protection and illumination of The Way, The Truth, The Life in Christ Jesus, Amen. Thank you for sharing with me. Walk in Love my friend.
