Overview
1. You have surely noticed an emphasis throughout our recent lessons on the connection between fulfilling your function and achieving happiness. ²This is because you do not really see the connection. ³Yet there is more than just a connection between them; they are the same. ⁴Their forms are different, but their content is completely one.
2. The ego does constant battle with the Holy Spirit on the fundamental question of what your function is. ²So does it do constant battle with the Holy Spirit about what your happiness is. ³It is not a two-way battle. ⁴The ego attacks and the Holy Spirit does not respond. ⁵He knows what your function is. ⁶He knows that it is your happiness.
3. Today we will try to go past this wholly meaningless battle and arrive at the truth about your function. ²We will not engage in senseless arguments about what it is. ³We will not become hopelessly involved in defining happiness and determining the means for achieving it. ⁴We will not indulge the ego by listening to its attacks on truth. ⁵We will merely be glad that we can find out what truth is.
4. Our longer practice period today has as its purpose your acceptance of the fact that not only is there a very real connection between the function God gave you and your happiness, but that they are actually identical. ²God gives you only happiness. ³Therefore, the function He gave you must be happiness, even if it appears to be different. ⁴Today’s exercises are an attempt to go beyond these differences in appearance, and recognize a common content where it exists in truth.
Subjects Discussed: 1 – Any of Love’s expressions, in this case happiness, is your function. 2 – What makes you happy, what fulfills you, is what you are suppose to be doing. 3 – The Holy Spirit does not response to the delusions of the ego’s tools, mindset and world. 4 – Through forgiveness or overlooking we can leave the ego’s tools, mindset and world. 5 – Arguing with the ego is a senseless argument. 6 – God gives you only happiness, everything else that seems to be in opposition to it is not of God. 7 – The ego’s world is full of distractions, such as worry, fear, judgment, anger. 8 – If you focus on your happiness you beacon a beacon of joy for others which leads them back to the truth in them. 9 – Be joy in each moment and interaction, make it your goal before every interaction. 10 – If you are not happy or joyful then the ego is in control of your thinking. 11 – The ego controls you through your past judgment-centric programs or future fears. 12 – The Holy Spirit, the truth in you is in control when you forgive the past, place the future in Gods hands, and return to the Holy Instant. 13 – God/Love can not give evil/unhappiness. 14 – God does not give what He does not have. God only has Love, and all of its expressions. 15 – It’s evil to oppose Love/God. There is good and there is evil. There is truth and there is illusion. 16 – Stop entertaining the ego’s silly little foolish games. 17 – Stop supporting thoughts that don’t support you, such as fear, anxiousness, worry, doubt. 18 – It feels difficult because you are fighting ‘What Is’. 19 – Trust in the Divine Design, and you will have peace. Trust your personal pace in life. 20 – The ego is always going to try to have you judge your journey. 21 – Recognize when your mind is out of alignment with the mind of God, forgive self and others, send others only love, give away all leftover darkness to God, refill yourself with the love, mercy grace of God. 22 – There is two guides/parts to your mind, the ego/fear/lies or the Holy Spirit/LoveTruth. 23 – You do not want Anything that the ego has to offer. 24 – The ego being nothing has nothing real to give you. 25 – Ask God what to think, say and do , and then think, say and do only that. 26 – Do not punish yourself for being triggered by the ego, for by doing so it is showing you what poisonous thoughts are still living within you. 27 – When people trigger they are showing you your internal condition and conditioning, learn to thank them for this. 28 – Every time someone triggers you it is an opportunity to heal and awaken. 29 – Don’t expect happiness from anything the ego’s supports, demands, recommends. 30 – The ego’s trick is ‘seek but do not find’. The ego will never deliver to you true lasting peace of mind or joy. 31 – The ego being illusionary in nature is nothing and thus can only offer your nothing, and nothing you want. 32 – Stop making excuses for the ego. 33 – All that is given to you is here to help me grow, heal and awaken. 34 – Your true function is any of Love’s expressions. 35 – Every moment is in reality here to help you recall who in truth you are and were created by God to be.
