Lesson, 57 - Revived '16 - I AM: A Course in Miracles - www.IamACIM.Com - a podcast by therapyofthesoul

lesson 57 Today let us review these ideas: [31] â??I am not the victim of the world I see.â?? How can I be the victim of a world that can be completely undone if I so choose? My chains are loosened. I can drop them off merely by desiring to do so. The prison door is open. I can leave it simply by walking out. Nothing holds me in this world. Only my wish to stay keeps me a prisoner. I would give up insane wishes, and walk into the sunlight at last. [32] â??I have invented the world I see.â?? I made up the prison in which I see myself.All I need do is recognize this, and I am free. I have deluded myself into believing it is possible to imprison the Son of God. I was bitterly mistaken in this belief, which I no longer want.The Son of God must be forever free. He is as God created him, and not what I would make of him. He is where God would have him be, and not where I thought to hold him prisoner. [33] â??There is another way of looking at the world.â?? Since the purpose of the world is not the one I ascribed to it, there must be another way of looking at it. I see everything upside down, and my thoughts are the opposite of truth. I see the world as a prison for Godâ??s Son. It must be, then, that the world is really a place where he can be set free. I would look upon the world as it is, and see it as a place where the Son of God finds his freedom. [34] â??I could see peace instead of this.â?? When I see the world as a place of freedom, I will realize that it reflects the laws of God instead of the rules which I made up for it to obey. I will understand that peace, not war, abides in it. And I will perceive that peace also abides in the hearts of all who share this place with me. [35] â??My mind is part of Godâ??s. I am very holy.â?? As I share the peace of the world with my brothers, I begin to understand that this peace comes from deep within myself.The world I look upon has taken on the light of my forgiveness, and shines
