Review (105 and 106)

This review brings you back to lessons 105 and 106, the acceptance of God’s peace and joy, and the invitation to silence to listen to truth. Lesson 105 declares: "God’s peace and joy are mine", an affirmation of inheritance, not a request. Lesson 106 invites you: "Let me be quiet and listen to truth", the method to receive this inheritance. Together, they form the practice: you already possess peace and joy, but you must be silent to recognize them.

"Today I will accept God’s peace and joy, joyfully exchanging them for all the substitutes I have made for happiness and peace." This line summarizes the movement of the Course: exchange your illusions for truth. And "Let my own small, weak voice be still, and let me hear the powerful Voice for Truth Itself assure me that I am God’s perfect Son." Silence is not emptiness, it is the space where truth can be heard.

After revisions 116–117 on happiness, revision 118 moves you toward the active reception of this happiness through silence. Revisions 119–120 will conclude Part Two with truth that corrects (107), the unity of giving and receiving (108), rest in God (109), and eternal identity (110). You are almost at the end of Part Two. These final reviews invite you into the deepest peace.

Today, review in the morning and evening: "God’s peace and joy are mine" and "Let me be quiet and listen to truth." Every hour: "God’s peace and joy are mine." Every half-hour: "Let me be quiet and listen to truth." Take a moment of silence between each activity. Even thirty seconds are enough to let God’s peace and joy flow through you.

In silence, God’s peace and joy await you. Be still and receive them.
