ASCENSION-by JC; ACIM (A Course in Miracles)

LESSON 226

MY HOME AWAITS ME, I WILL HASTEN THERE.

# 1. If I so choose I can depart this world entirely. It is not death that makes this possible, but it is the change of mind about the purpose of the world. If I believe it has value as I see it now, so will it still remain for me. But if I see no value in the World as I behold it, nothing that I want to see as mine or search for as a goal, it will depart from me. For I have not sought for illusions to replace the truth.

# 2. Father my home awaits my glad returnable arms are open and I hear your voice. What need have I to linger in a place of vain desires and of shattered dreams, when Heaven can so easily be mine? (to Ascend)

LESSON 222

GOD IS WITH ME I LIVE AND MOVE IN HIM.

# 1. God is with me. He is my source of life, the life withe,the air I breath, the food by which I am sustained, and the water which renews and clenches me. He is my Home, wherein I live and move; the Spirit that directs my actions, offers me its Thoughts, and guarantees my safety from all pain. He covers me with kindness and with care, and holds in Love the Son he shines upon, who also shines on Him. How still is he that knows that Truth of what He speaks today!

# 2. Father, we have no words except your Name upon our lips and in our minds, as we come quietly into your presence now, and ask to rest with You in peace a while. (to Awaken)

LESSON 223

GOD IS MY LIFE , I HAVE NO LIFE BUT HIS.

# 1. I was mistaken when I thought I lived apart from God, a separate entity that moved in isolation, unattached and Housed within a body. Now I know my life is Gods, I have no other Home, and I do not exist apart from Him. He has no thoughts that are not part of me, and I have none but those which are of Him.

# 2. Our Father let us see the face of Christ instead of our mistakes. For we who are Your Holy Son are sinless. We would look upon our painlessness, for quilt proclaims that we are not your Son. And we would not forget you Longer. We Are Lonely Here, and long for Heaven, where we are at Home. Today we would return. Our name is yours, and we would acknowledge that we are Your Son.( Awaken & Ascend)

LESSON 229

LOVE, WHICH CREATED ME, IS WHAT I AM.

# 1. I seek my own identity , and find it in these words; ''Love which created me, is what I am.'' Now need I seek no more. Love has prevailed. So still It waited for my coming Home, That I will turn away no longer from the Holy face of Christ. And what I look upon attests the Truth of the identity I sought to lose, but which my Father has keep safe for me.

# 2.Father, my thanks to You for what I am; for keeping my identity untouched and sinless, in the midst of all my thoughts of sin my foolish mind made up. And thanks to you for saving me from them. Amen

LESSON 230

NOW WILL I SEEK AND FIND THE PEACE OF GOD.

# 1. In Peace I was created. And in Peace I do remain. It is not given me to change my self. How merciful is God my Father, that when he created me ,he gave me Peace forever. Now I ask but to be what I am. And can this be denied me, when it is forever true?

# 2. Father I seek the Peace you gave as mine in my creation. What was given then must be here now, for my creation was apart from time, and still remains beyond all change. The Peace in which your son was born into your mind is shining there unchanged. I am as you created me. I need to but call on you to find the peace you gave. It is your will that gave it to Your Son.
