NOVEMBER

 

NOVEMBER 1

Father, the peace of Christ is given us, because it is Your Will that we be saved. Help us today but to accept Your gift, and judge it not. For it has come to us to save us from our judgment on ourselves.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 305. 2:1-3.

 

NOVEMBER 2

What but Christ’s vision would I use today, when it can offer me a day in which I see a world so like to Heaven that an ancient memory returns to me?

Today I can forget the world I made. Today I can go past all fear, and be restored to love and holiness and peace.

Today I am redeemed, and born anew into a world of mercy and of care; of loving kindness and the peace of God.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 306. 1:1-4.

 

NOVEMBER 3

Nothing is difficult that is wholly desired.

Text-6. VB. 8:7.

 

NOVEMBER 4

The birth of Christ is now, without a past or future.

He has come to give His present blessing to the world, restoring it to timelessness and love.

And love is ever-present, here and now.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 308. 1:6-8.

 

NOVEMBER 5

The Holy Spirit’s Voice is as loud as your willingness to listen.

Text-8. VIII. 8:7.

 

NOVEMBER 6

This day, my Father, would I

spend with You, as You

have chosen all my days

should be. And what I will

experience is not of time

at all. The joy that comes to

me is not of days nor hours,

for it comes from Heaven

to Your Son. This day will be

Your sweet reminder to

remember You, Your gracious

calling to Your holy Son, the

sign Your grace has come to

me, and that it is Your Will

I be set free today.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 310. 1:1-4.

 

NOVEMBER 7

This is God’s Final Judgment:

“You are still My holy Son, forever innocent, forever loving and forever loved, as limitless as your Creator, and completely changeless and forever pure.

Therefore awaken and return to Me.

I am your Father and you are My Son.”

Workbook-p II. Lesson 310. 10. 5:1-3.

 

NOVEMBER 8

Look once again upon your brother, not without the understanding that he is the way to Heaven or to hell, as you perceive him.

But forget not this; the role you give to him is given you, and you will walk the way you pointed out to him because it is your judgment on yourself.

Text-25. V. 6:5-6.

 

NOVEMBER 9

Let us today behold each other in the sight of Christ.

How beautiful we are!

How holy and how loving!

Brother, come and join with me today.

We save the world when we have joined.

For in our vision it becomes as holy as the light in us.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 313. 2:1-6.

 

NOVEMBER 10

Fear is not of the present, but only of the past and future, which do not exist.

There is no fear in the present when each instant stands clear and separated from the past, without its shadow reaching out into the future.

Each instant is a clean, untarnished birth, in which the Son of God emerges from the past into the present.

And the present extends forever.

It is so beautiful and so clean and free of guilt that nothing but happiness is there.

No darkness is remembered, and immortality and joy are now.

Text-15. I. 8:2-7.

 

NOVEMBER 11

Each day a thousand treasures come to me with every passing moment.

I am blessed with gifts throughout the day, in value far beyond all things of which I can conceive.

A brother smiles upon another, and my heart is gladdened.

Someone speaks a word of gratitude or mercy, and my mind receives this gift and takes it as its own.

And everyone who finds the way to God becomes my savior, pointing out the way to me, and giving me his certainty that what he learned is surely mine as well.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 315. 1:1-5.

 

NOVEMBER 12

His grace is given me in every gift a brother has received throughout all time, and past all time as well.

My treasure house is full, and angels watch its open doors that not one gift is lost, and only more are added.

Let me come to where my treasures are, and enter in where I am truly welcome and at home, among the gifts that God has given me.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 316. 1:3-5.

 

NOVEMBER 13

Trust would settle every problem now.

Text-26. VIII. 2:3.

 

NOVEMBER 14

I am the means by which God’s Son is saved because salvation’s purpose is to find the sinlessness that God has placed in me.

I was created as the thing I seek.

I am the goal the world is searching for.

I am God’s Son, His one eternal Love.

I am salvation’s means and end as well.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 318. 1:4-8.

 

NOVEMBER 15

The ego thinks that what one gains, totality must lose.

And yet it is the Will of God I learn that what one gains is given unto all.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 319. 1:5-6.

 

NOVEMBER 16

The Son of God is limitless.

There are no limits on his strength, his peace, his joy, nor any attributes his Father gave in his creation.

What he wills with his Creator and Redeemer must be done.

His holy will can never be denied, because his Father shines upon his mind, and lays before it all the strength and love in earth and Heaven.

I am he to whom all this is given.

I am he in whom the power of my Father’s Will abides.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 320. 1:1-6.

 

NOVEMBER 17

The freedom to leave behind everything that hurts you and humbles you and frightens you cannot be thrust upon you, but it can be offered you through the grace of God.

And you can accept it by His grace, for God is gracious to His Son, accepting him without question as His Own.

Text-11. VI. 6:3-4.

 

NOVEMBER 18

There is nothing outside you.

That is what you must ultimately learn, for it is the realization that the Kingdom of Heaven is restored to you.

For God created only this, and He did not depart from it nor leave it separate from Himself.

The Kingdom of Heaven is the dwelling place of the Son of God, who left not his Father and dwells not apart from Him.

Heaven is not a place nor a condition. It is merely an awareness of perfect Oneness, and the knowledge that there is nothing else; nothing outside this Oneness, and nothing else within.

Text-18. VI. 1:1-6.

 

NOVEMBER 19

Here is the only “sacrifice” You ask

of Your beloved Son; You ask him

to give up all suffering, all sense of

loss and sadness, all anxiety and

doubt, and freely let Your Love

come streaming in to his

awareness, healing him of pain,

and giving him Your Own eternal

joy. Such is the “sacrifice” You ask

of me, and one I gladly make; the

only “cost” of restoration of Your

memory to me, for the salvation

of the world.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 323. 1:1-2.

 

NOVEMBER 20

Father, You are the One Who

gave the plan for my salvation to

me. You have set the way I am

to go, the role to take, and every

step in my appointed path. I

cannot lose the way. I can but

choose to wander off a while,

and then return. Your loving

Voice will always call me back,

and guide my feet aright. My

brothers all can follow in the

way I lead them. Yet I merely

follow in the way to You, as

You direct me and would

have me go.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 324. 1:1-7.

 

NOVEMBER 21

This is salvation’s keynote:

What I see reflects a process in my mind, which starts with my idea of what I want.

From there, the mind makes up an image of the thing the mind desires, judges valuable, and therefore seeks to find.

These images are then projected outward, looked upon, esteemed as real and guarded as one’s own. From insane wishes comes an insane world.

From judgment comes a world condemned.

And from forgiving thoughts a gentle world comes forth …

Workbook-p II. Lesson 325. 1:1-6.

 

NOVEMBER 22

Father, I was created in Your

Mind, a holy Thought that never

left its home. I am forever Your

Effect, and You forever and

forever are my Cause. As You

created me I have remained.

Where You established me I still

abide. And all Your attributes

abide in me, because it is Your

Will to have a Son so like his

Cause that Cause and Its Effect

are indistinguishable.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 326. 1:1-5.

 

NOVEMBER 23

Love always answers, being unable to deny a call for help, or not to hear the cries of pain that rise to it from every part of this strange world you made but do not want.

Text-13. VII. 4:3.

 

NOVEMBER 24

It is only because you think that you can run some little part, or deal with certain aspects of your life alone, that the guidance of the Holy Spirit is limited.

Text-14. XI. 8:4.

 

NOVEMBER 25

Father, I thought I wandered

from Your Will, defied it, broke

its laws, and interposed a second

will more powerful than Yours.

Yet what I am in truth is but

Your Will, extended and

extending. This am I, and this

will never change. As You are

One, so am I one with You. And

this I chose in my creation,

where my will became forever

one with Yours. That choice was

made for all eternity. It cannot

change, and be in opposition to

itself. Father, my will is Yours.

And I am safe, untroubled and

serene, in endless joy, because

it is Your Will that it be so.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 329. 1:1-9.

 

NOVEMBER 26

Healing is release from the fear of waking and the substitution of the decision to wake.

The decision to wake is the reflection of the will to love, since all healing involves replacing fear with love.

Text-8. IX. 5:1-2.

 

NOVEMBER 27

You love me, Father. You could

never leave me desolate, to die

within a world of pain and

cruelty. How could I think that

Love has left Itself? There is no

will except the Will of Love.

Fear is a dream, and has no will

that can conflict with Yours.

Conflict is sleep, and peace

awakening. Death is illusion;

life, eternal truth. There is no

opposition to Your Will. There

is no conflict, for my will

is Yours.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 331. 1:3-11.

 

NOVEMBER 28

Fear binds the world.

Forgiveness sets it free.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 332.

 

NOVEMBER 29

Father, forgiveness is the light

You chose to shine away all

conflict and all doubt, and

light the way for our

return to You. No light but this

can end our evil dream. No

light but this can save the

world. For this alone will

never fail in anything,

being Your gift to Your

beloved Son.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 333. 2:1-4.

 

NOVEMBER 30

Today I claim the gifts forgiveness gives.

Workbook-p II. Lesson 334.
