Part II

3. What Is The World?

Lesson 248

Whatever Suffers Is Not Part Of Me.

I have disowned the truth. Now let me be as faithful in disowning falsity. Whatever suffers is not part of me. What grieves is not myself.^49. What is in pain is but illusion in my mind. What dies was never living in reality, and did but mock the truth about myself. Now I disown self-concepts and deceits and lies about the holy Son of God. Now am I ready to accept him back as God created him and as he is.

2. Father, my ancient love for You returns, and lets me love Your Son again as well. Father, I am as You created me. Now is Your love remembered, and my own. Now do I understand that they are one.^[1]

Footnote 49. When we suffer, then, we are the real Son of God identifying with an illusion of ourselves. We God’s Son, do not actually suffer, for we cannot be damaged, but we do experience suffering when we identify with something that can be damaged.

Personal Notes:

Whatever suffers is not part of me. I meditate on this thought for today, and in quiet I wait to hear my Father’s Voice. I pray for all my brothers 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!
